Chapter 375: Shrine 3

"Whoosh!" The massive blade aura tore through the air, emitting a shrill whistling sound as it slashed toward Meng Yifan, fast as lightning.

Meng Yifan employed Lingbo Microsteps, walking upon the sky; with a flicker of his body, he dodged the incoming blade aura.

"Swish!" This blade aura was indestructible; nearby large trees and high-rise buildings were like paper, sliced in two by the blade aura and collapsing to the ground with a crash.

Finally, the blade aura struck the ground, carving a crack one meter wide and dozens of meters deep into the solid concrete road, as if a bottomless canyon had suddenly appeared.

At the same time Meng Yifan was attacked by his own blade aura, Zhang Sanfeng's Yin Yang Dharma Sword was also rebounded back.

Whether by coincidence or because the rebounded attack could be controlled by Abe Taimei, the rebounded Yin Yang Dharma Sword happened to collide with Zhang Sanfeng's Yin-Yang Millstone, knocking the Yin-Yang Millstone flying away.

Using their own spear to attack their own shield.

Zhang Sanfeng felt a violent shock through his body, his Qi and blood surging, his face turning deathly pale, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Rebounding attacks—this array is truly formidable." Zhang Sanfeng's expression was grave; he had not expected that with the blessing of the nation's Faith Power, the Yasukuni Shrine's array would become so mysterious.

"This array was set up by a great power and has immense might, but it has high requirements for the person controlling it. The little devil inside lacks the strength and won't last long. Let's attack a few more times, and he won't be able to hold on," said Meng Yifan.

It was indeed as Meng Yifan said; although Abe Taimei had successively used forbidden arts, erupting with all his Life Potential to raise his strength to a Fourth-Rank High-Grade Onmyoji, he still appeared overwhelmed while controlling the grand array.

It was like a child driving a large truck, using all their strength just to barely turn the steering wheel; although they could manage to get the truck moving, a moment of carelessness would send it into a ditch, destroying the vehicle and killing the driver.

Although he had successfully rebounded Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng's attacks just now, Abe Taimei was not having an easy time either; violent Spirit Power was repeatedly colliding within his meridians, and many had already been torn apart. His internal body could be said to be riddled with holes, and he truly could not hold on for long.

"Master, hurry and complete the fusion; we cannot hold them off for long," Abe Taimei muttered.

Zhang Sanfeng was controlling the Yin Yang Dharma Sword, wanting to continue the attack, but Meng Yifan said, "Master, get on the plane. Let's use a Mushroom Bomb to bombard this protective shield and see how many hits it can take."

Meng Yifan locked his Spiritual Power onto the MiG Fighter inside his Space Ring, and with a thought, the fighter appeared beside him. The two skillfully jumped onto the fighter and then piloted it into the sky.

Meng Yifan had scavenged four Mushroom Bombs from a Dongying missile base and bought two more from Dayiwan. He had used one to bomb the Dongying military base, so he still had five Mushroom Bombs on hand.

The Yasukuni Shrine's protective shield had received the blessing of billions of units of Faith Power, making it impregnable and capable of rebounding attacks. Even for Fifth-grade Cultivators like Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, breaking the array would require consuming a massive amount of Spirit Power and could potentially lead to injury.

Breaking the protective shield was only the first step; a group of old ghosts were hidden within Yasukuni Shrine, and their strength was formidable—there would certainly be a major battle ahead.

At this time, consuming a large amount of Spirit Power was clearly not a wise move. Since that was the case, he would use Mushroom Bombs to bombard it; if one didn't work, he would use two, and see how many bombardments this protective shield could withstand.

"Whoosh!" Meng Yifan pressed the launch button, and a missile carrying a Mushroom Bomb shot out.

"Baka yaro! You Immortal Cultivators don't follow the martial code!" Abe Taimei cursed loudly. Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng were completely ignoring the rules; how could they attack with Immortal Art twice and then turn around to bombard with a Mushroom Bomb?

Abe Taimei could control the Defensive Array to rebound Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng's attacks; even if a few buildings were destroyed and hundreds or thousands of people died, those were negligible losses.

But now it was a Mushroom Bomb; if Abe Taimei still used the array to rebound the attack, it would cause devastating destruction to the surrounding environment.

One must know that Yasukuni Shrine was located in the capital of Dongying, where the population density was extremely high. If Abe Taimei used the array to rebound the Mushroom Bomb, it would cause at least tens or hundreds of thousands of casualties.

Even if Abe Taimei did not care about the lives of ordinary people, killing so many people at once made him feel terrified.

"What to do? Should I use the protective shield's energy to withstand the Mushroom Bomb explosion, or disregard the lives of the common people and rebound the power of the explosion?" Abe Taimei frowned, feeling very conflicted.

If he rebounded the Mushroom Bomb explosion, the protective shield might be able to withstand a few more Mushroom Bomb explosions, but Abe Taimei already knew that Meng Yifan had at least three more Mushroom Bombs in his possession. If two were fired simultaneously, even with rebounding the attack, the Yasukuni Shrine's protective shield would not be able to hold.

When Meng Yifan launched the Mushroom Bomb, he had also considered the casualties of the common people. He was not a little devil and did not engage in the Three Alls Policy. Moreover, the rules of the Game Panel did not allow Meng Yifan to kill the innocent indiscriminately; otherwise, not only would he not gain Experience Value, but he would also have Experience Value deducted.

However, the Dongying commoners were now of one heart and mind, and almost all had contributed Faith Power to Yasukuni Shrine. This counted as a hostile relationship, and all Dongying people who contributed Faith Power were considered Meng Yifan's enemies.

Whether they were old, women, or children, as long as they were enemies, they could be eliminated; it did not matter how many died.

The R-37 Missile was extremely fast and arrived over Yasukuni Shrine in the blink of an eye; there was no time left for Abe Taimei to hesitate.

"Baka! Everyone, exert your full strength to drive the array and withstand the Mushroom Bomb explosion!" Abe Taimei roared.

"Boom! Boom!" The Mushroom Bomb slammed into the Yasukuni Shrine's protective shield and then exploded violently.

The protective shield's light flickered, twisting and deforming from the blast, caving in significantly. All one hundred and eight Dongying experts presiding over the array felt a violent shock, as if struck by lightning.

Dozens of people had their internal organs ruptured by the shock and died vomiting blood; dozens more were knocked unconscious by the impact. Only a pitiful dozen or so remained capable of continuing to preside over the array.

Abe Taimei, who was in the lead, bore the brunt of the impact. His internal organs and all his meridians suffered heavy damage, and he could no longer hold on, collapsing to the ground.

Although a massive amount of Faith Power was still pouring in, there was no one left to control the Protective Array. The protective shield became illusory and unstable, finally shattering with a 'puff' sound.

Without the protective shield, the Ninjas and Onmyoji inside Yasukuni Shrine were ashen-faced. With their insignificant strength, they were nothing but lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Fifth-Grade Experts like Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.

"Master, let's go; we are going to wipe out Yasukuni Shrine." Meng Yifan put away the MiG Fighter and charged into Yasukuni Shrine with Zhang Sanfeng.

"Bang!" Meng Yifan threw a punch, and the plaque of Yasukuni Shrine was smashed to pieces; even the main gate collapsed. The two of them stepped over the debris of the plaque and walked into this shrine filled with sin.
