When Chu Yunsheng and others rushed to the site of the incident, it was about three o’clock in the morning. The weather outside the city was very cold as if the air was frozen. When breathing it in, it would cause so much pain as if there was a knife slas.h.i.+ng the windpipe.
But Chu Yunsheng liked this kind of weather a lot, although his teeth were chattering in coldness, he was still very excited. The frigid temperature was a restraint to the Fire race and a boost to the weapon he was about to use – Frost Arrow.
From afar, roughly a few miles away, the sound of bullets raging in the wind could be heard. It was rapid and mixed with a trace of panic. Moving closer, the hoa.r.s.e cries of the soldiers also gradually became clear, the people’s dying screams made Lin Shuiyao and other people’s faces very pale. For her and her a.s.sistant, war and death were supposed to be something that was far away from them.
Soon, appearing in front of Chu Yunsheng and other people was a burning train that was falling askew on the side of the railroad. The soldiers were guarding on one side, and on the other side, a figure that was burning in fierce flames was wreaking havoc.
In the dark, the fiery figure was das.h.i.+ng left and right, kicking up long bright flames, dodging the barrage of bullets, while approaching the soldiers quickly. When it finally arrived before the group of soldiers, several crescent-shaped flame blades suddenly appeared and flew towards the soldiers. The bulletproof vests that those soldiers were wearing couldn’t stop those flaming blades at all. Wherever the fiery figure went, the soldiers would fall to the ground and lives would be taken away.
As another ear-piercing sound appeared from the soldiers’ side, an anti-tank bullet was fired and shot towards the fiery figure. The “fiery figure” didn’t dare to block it using its body, it immediately leaned sideways to dodge it hurriedly. Although the fiery figure’s speed was very fast, the bullet still made a narrow but long b.l.o.o.d.y cut on its arm that was exposed outside the battle cloak by accident.
Enraged by the injury, the fiery figure leaped high from the ground with a narrow, slender sword, and hacked it down in mid-air, splitting the two soldiers, who had fired the anti-tank bullet, into halves. The fierce flames instantly spread across the four pieces of body parts and soon the smell of burnt meat began to spread out.
Then the sound of rapid gunfire appeared again. This time it was the machine guns firing at a rate of 6,000 rounds per minute. It was like a dense bullet storm, the surrounding air was instantly evaporated under the heat of the bullets, filling the battle zone with the smell of death.
Almost instantaneously, the fiery figure was blasted off by the dense storm of bullets. If it hadn’t dodged in time, even if it had that powerful battle cloak, it would have had several thousand bullet holes on its body.
In the face of the crazy high-speed bullet storm, the “fiery figure” also had to avoid blocking it directly.
Then the battle came to a stalemate, with a fiery figure clinging to its cloak, badly wounded, but still das.h.i.+ng around on the other side of the train in search of a breakthrough opportunity, while the military positions were left with many gruesome corpses and sickening, scorched smells.
For a troop that hadn’t experienced an actual b.l.o.o.d.y battle for many years, even if its soldiers had been through extremely tough training, and had iron-like willpower, in the face of the horrifying deaths of many of their comrades, it was not possible to maintain the soldiers’ morale.
For them, however, this was just the beginning. There was a much more brutal war awaiting them.
Using the opportunity of stalemate, the soldiers quickly rearranged their defense positions under the command of their superiors. All kinds of rocket launchers were also quickly used to suppress the fiery figure. There were also helicopters circling high above the air, constantly shooting at the fiery figure. At the moment, this was the only weapon that actually had some advantages.
The soldiers did not know what kind of creature was attacking them. If it weren’t for the fact that they were the most elite troops on the ground in eastern China, the formations would have already completely collapsed and many troops would have already been scattered.
Chu Yunsheng could not help but admire those young soldiers, who were only in their early twenties.
He asked Yu Jian to order his men to hover the helicopters outside the battle zone because he didn’t want to join the battle immediately. Instead, he asked Yu Jian to send special police to contact the military officer lest the troop would treat them as enemies.
In his opinion, it was not worth sacrificing so many people just for a stupid gun.
On the way here, Chu Yunsheng had asked Yu Jian for a police crossbow, which was included in the standard SWAT officer’s loadout. Then he secretly gathered the Yuan Qi he had cultivated these days and made a frost talisman, and cast it onto the crossbow. After he finished that, the remaining Yuan Qi was just enough for him to trigger one frost arrow.
Although he has mastered this low-level talisman and he didn’t need much energy to make it, his current cultivation level was too low. At most, his body only had six units of Yuan Qi, so after making the talisman, it was already not bad that he could even trigger one frost arrow.
If he still had black gas, he would not need to work so hard, but now he could only try his best. If he couldn’t hit it, he could only ask Yu Jian to pull up the helicopter and run away from here.
However, no matter how powerful this fiery figure was, its power still had limits. After all, Tian Gui has just been unsealed. It would not be able to attack anything in the sky. The soldiers on the ground might not know, but he was very clear that the reason why it was so powerful was all because of that battle cloak.
Of course, Chu Yunsheng did not expect to use a frost arrow to kill it. With the protection of the battle cloak of the Fire race, the people of the Fire race would always have advantages in combat whether it was in attack or defense at the beginning of the dark age. Back when he was still in Jin Ling city outside the Pseudo-Monolith, this was the reason why the cloaked man was able to suppress Li, who came from the Ice Race.
At the moment, although Chu Yunsheng has not fully recovered his strength, his knowledge was far from what that fiery figure could compare. His strategy was very simple, which was to make full use of Old Youling’s combat potential.
For a battle cloak, he had to drain his energy and change his plan, but Chu Yunsheng thought that it was worth it.
A swarm of insects was too fierce and powerful, and their number was also very scary. If he wanted to rely on Yuan Tian stage one’s strength to defend Shanghai against them, G.o.d knows how many times he would die if he didn’t take any drastic measures.
This was the fact, even if he still had black gas. The insect could use an attribution warfare strategy to wear down his black gas. They had overwhelming numbers, but once his black gas was used up, he would be dead for sure. This was something that Chu Yunsheng knew very clearly since he woke up.
Moreover, black gas was not like Yuan Qi, he could fully control Yuan Qi, but black gas was too mysterious, he still didn’t know what it was. Therefore, it was not wise to rely on something that he didn’t know.
So this battle cloak became very important. Its cloaking effect couldn’t even be detected by an insect’s tomb, coupled with the energy s.h.i.+eld talisman’s ability to suppress his scent, once the insect started to appear in large numbers, with these two things, he could fight back immediately, and his safety would be guaranteed, then with the steady supply of Yuan Qi energy from the insect, not only would his cultivation level be increased rapidly, but his battle equipment would also become much better.
When he was still weak, weapons and equipment became particularly important. Only when he was strong, would he become less reliant on external objects and tools. This would always be the same no matter what.
Based on this consideration, the cloak was far more valuable than the freeze gun.
“Mr. Chu, something is very strange.” Yu Jian also saw the fierce battle clearly, he knew in advance the existence of the people, who had special powers like Chu Yunsheng. So in the face of the cruelty of the fiery figure, unlike Lin Shuiyao and other people, he appeared to be very calm.
Chu Yunsheng adjusted the crossbow, and said casually, “nothing is strange, it will not be able to carry on attacking like this much longer.” He simply thought that Yu Jian was surprised by the power of the fiery figure.
