Yamaoka squinted his eyes, his sniper rifle unmoving. He took aim at a leaping figure, but in the blink of an eye, Pei Zi Yun had disappeared!
"Baka, is he even human?" Seiji Yamaoka could not help but curse in a low voice. He punched the cover to vent his anger.
Yamaoka was the ace sniper of the unit, and had participated in many missions with the unit.
In every mission, Yamaoka had a 100% success rate, and was rewarded for his contributions.
Although there was no detailed information about him in the outside world, he had a certain reputation within the military.
Yamaoka was a little confused about this mission.
This was not because he recognized Yamaoka Shinji. In fact, he did not know Yamaoka Shinji, nor had he read his books. Even if he did, he was a soldier, and would have fired without hesitation.
Furthermore, the person below him was killing his comrades. This caused his eyes to turn red, and he wished he could shoot the enemy's head. How could he have any other thoughts?
What frustrated him was not the waiting time. As a sniper, Yamaoka's longest waiting time was two days and three nights. Killing the target in one shot and completing the mission was not a long time at all!
What frustrated him was that in this short period of time, he had found a few opportunities to attack. However, just as he took aim, Yamaoka Shinji seemed to have sensed something and immediately disappeared!
This was something he had never encountered before in his previous battles!
This kind of terrifying speed and alertness was not something a human could possess. From the looks of it, there was a big problem with the enemy's identity!
Indeed, this person had something to do with the demonic ghosts that had appeared throughout the country?
Yamaoka thought about the recent events and connected them to the Pei Zi Yun before him. His expression hardened. For the country, for the people, he had to kill this terrifying demonic ghost.
Yamaoka calmed himself down and slowly moved his crosshair, waiting for an opportunity.
"Da da da!"
Bullets from the machine gun rained down like a torrential downpour. Everywhere they passed, walls, cars, and street lamps were destroyed. A figure passed through them in an instant, twisting his body in mid-air. His movements were swift and agile, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
"The enemy's speed has reached 45.7m/s!" It was not just the command center. Even the video taken in the armored vehicles had calculated the speed. One of the warrant officers cried out, "This has exceeded the human body's speed limit by more than five times. Even a leopard wouldn't be able to catch up."
It was against the rules to hear the warrant officer lose his voice, but everyone understood and stared at the screen. Second Lieutenant Inagawa also stared at the screen. He was the team leader and was in charge of commanding all 60 soldiers.
Even though Yamada Shinichi was not human and had even killed his soldiers, Inagawa did not feel the slightest bit of fear.
As the team leader, Inagawa was also an elite in the army and had faced many life and death battles.
Although Inagawa had never met someone like Yamada Shinji before, he believed that as long as Yamada Shinji was still human, he would have a weakness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the strange ancient armor on him to defend himself. Inagawa ordered in a low voice, "Use the machine gun and fire at any possible routes."
"Hi!" Cao Chang immediately understood and gave the order. "Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng" sounds could be heard. Indeed, no matter how fast they were, they could not outrun the speed of bullets. The machine guns chased after Pei Zi Yun, and the direction in which he was trying to break through the encirclement was blocked.
Most of the bullets missed, but a few that were on the path of the bullets hit Pei Zi Yun. However, he did not fall. His body swayed and he rolled into a corner.
Under such circumstances, the troops panicked and fired with all their might.
In the command center, everyone looked from afar. They gulped and said, "This … isn't human, right?"
On the screen, it was obvious that Pei Zi Yun had been hit by three bullets. However, sparks flew, and he seemed to be unharmed. This was simply inhuman!
An Zehiro's heart was suddenly covered with a layer of shadow.
Almost at the same time, Pei Zi Yun leapt into a wall and tilted his head. A bullet flew past his face, but there was a loud bang. His waist went numb and his armor broke. He rolled to the side and neutralized the force of the attack.
These two bullets were specially made for snipers. They were very powerful. Even Pei Zi Yun felt threatened. However, the dent in his armor quickly healed.
"Baka, it's useless again!" Sueji Yamaoka quickly packed up the sniper rifle and the corresponding equipment and continued to reload.
This was the third time he had fired. The previous two times, when Sueji Yamaoka found an opportunity to fire, Yamaoka Shinichi had dodged it!
However, Yamaoka Shinichi's body had stiffened, giving him a chance to fire.
Unfortunately, he had failed. Sueji Yamaoka was very vexed.
"Damn it, if not for the fact that the Dao technique has not been analyzed, I would have killed you all long ago." At the same time, Pei Zi Yun was also very vexed.
Against modern civilization, the power of the Evil Spirit Path far exceeded that of the Essence Path. This was because modern people had no resistance against the Evil Spirit Path. There were actually many Dao techniques that could be used in this aspect, such as charm, paralysis, and so on. This was the asymmetrical tactics of modern warfare.
The United States used asymmetrical tactics to destroy a Middle Eastern country with millions of troops without harming a single soldier.
It was the same with Dao techniques. Just by paralysis, the dozens of soldiers in front of him could not resist it at all. They could only obediently accept their deaths. However, this was actually based on the laws of the world.
Although the laws of the world had loosened, using Dao techniques that were in line with the laws of the world was not something that could be done overnight.
Only the simplest and most brutal methods could be used.
"Although I don't want to expose myself, I can't care anymore. After all, I can still use the saber energy."
Pei Zi Yun could feel the killing intent of the sniper in the distance. However, to weave through the dense rain of bullets and kill the enemy, and more importantly, to protect Naomi Hayakawa, who was not far away, was a very difficult task.
Even with Pei Zi Yun's speed, he could not take care of everything in a short time.
At the same time, he sighed. As expected of the army, killing on the battlefield was a profession. He squinted his eyes and slashed with his wooden saber. "Wind and Thunder Cut!"
There was a "pu" sound as a crescent moon shot out from the saber. The crescent moon was not thick, but the soldiers' bodies and tactical vests were like paper. There was a "pu" sound, and a series of ripping sounds could be heard. Other than the soldiers who were hiding behind and inside the armored vehicle, a total of eleven soldiers who were surrounding the vehicle were sliced in half.
"Ah ah —" The soldier who was left with only half his body was still alive. He rolled on the ground, his intestines and intestines spilling all over the ground. His hands were still clawing wildly as he screamed in agony.
This level of brutality was far beyond anyone's imagination. As he was leaning against the armored vehicle, Inagawa could not help but take in a deep breath as he looked at the deep gash in the armor. His eyes were filled with fear.
The thickness of the armor of the armored vehicle was made of specially made steel plates of ten millimeters. To be able to pierce through it was too terrifying. What kind of strength was this?
With a single strike, the sound of gunfire died down. Pei Zi Yun leaped out of the battlefield, picked up Naomi Hayakawa, and ran towards the depths of the village.
"Quick, chase after him. He won't be able to escape. He has an accomplice with him. Don't be afraid!" In the command center, Yasuhiro was shocked when he saw this scene. However, his expression turned into a sinister smile as he said, "Everyone, look. This kind of strength. Have you thought of it?"
"This kind of strength is worth more than an entire regiment. Capture him. No matter how many of us die, we will be rewarded!" Yasuhiro was indeed a genius. With just a few words, he was able to raise the morale of the soldiers.
"Yes, capture him. We are all heroes. Besides, the entire village is covered with surveillance cameras. We will know where the enemy has gone!"
"Yamada Shinji is currently in Area B5!" Iwasaki Tomoyuki immediately responded and gave the order.
"Boom!" Immediately, an armored vehicle started moving towards Pei Zi Yun's direction.
"Da da da!" The machine guns continued to fire.
Pei Zi Yun dodged behind a wall. Immediately, an armored vehicle appeared. At the same time, the machine guns started firing non-stop. The bullets were like they were free.
Pei Zi Yun looked at Naomi Hayakawa in his arms. Seeing that she was unharmed, he continued to observe the battlefield.
How did the enemy troops find out about his location so quickly?
Pei Zi Yun looked at the armored vehicle that was heading straight for him, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Pa!" A mechanical device fell from the top of Pei Zi Yun's head. It had been destroyed by the bullets. Looking at the broken parts of the surveillance device, Pei Zi Yun finally understood why the enemy troops were able to pinpoint his location so accurately.
"Da da da!" Because of the Wind and Thunder Slash just now, the soldiers did not rush forward without knowing what was going on. However, the machine guns continued to fire, and the wall in front of Pei Zi Yun let out a groan as if it couldn't bear the weight of the bullets.
"Bang!" A bullet pierced through the wall and hit Pei Zi Yun's body. The sound of metal hitting metal could be heard. His skin caved in from the impact, but he was not injured.
"Eh, Minister, what's going on?" At this point, Naomi Hayakawa opened her eyes. She was startled. Hearing the gunshots around her, she understood what was going on.
Although she had maintained a certain level of self-awareness, there was still a huge change in her. She waved her hand, and the surroundings became hazy. Mist started to spread out rapidly.
"Very good!!" Pei Zi Yun saw this and was elated. He did not say much and whispered, "Naomi, take care of yourself. Leave the rest to me!"
Pei Zi Yun put her down and looked at her coldly. He then disappeared into the mist. Those who wanted him dead had to die!
"Eh? What's going on? "
"Why can't I see anything?" In the command center, Hiroki Anzeki was looking at the armored vehicle firing non-stop. All of a sudden, the screen went dark. Nothing could be seen. He asked angrily.
Iwasaki Tomoyuki looked at him coldly and asked, "What happened? If it's a technical malfunction, why aren't you fixing it? "
"Minister!" The communications officer ran over. His face was full of sweat and he looked terrified.
"I don't know why, but a mist suddenly appeared and covered everything. We can't see anything. Even the surveillance devices are not working!"
"Use the infrared camera!"
"The infrared camera can't penetrate it. It's not working."
"Baka, are you guys joking?" Hiroki Anzeki was furious.
"Cough cough!" All of a sudden, a cough could be heard. A priest walked in and said slowly, "This is a mist caused by a supernatural force!"
Hiroki Anzeki looked at the man and bowed slightly.
Iwasaki Tomoyuki remained calm and ignored him.
The priest did not seem to care about their attitude and continued, "Under the influence of this supernatural force, I'm afraid your surveillance devices are useless."
"Ah!!" A scream could be heard. The communications officer was covering his mouth and pointing at one of the cameras. His face was filled with fear.
Hiroki Anzeki turned his head to take a look. All he saw was a flash of a blade light, and several soldiers were slashed apart. Fresh blood sprayed onto the screen!
"Da da da!" An armored vehicle was still firing in all directions. The officer on top was still shouting, "Calling for command center, calling for command center!"
"We've lost track of the target. We've lost track of the target!"
Within the fog, Pei Zi Yun's silhouette appeared and slapped the armoured vehicle. A muffled groan could be heard as the armoured vehicle stopped firing. The Second Lieutenant Inagawa, who had been commanding earlier, lowered his head and did not make a sound. After a while, he slumped to the side, bleeding from all his orifices. He was dead.
"Hmph, you think you're so great just because you have an armored vehicle?"
"Negative Jing, cough, it's equivalent to the strength of negative Jing. Do you understand?"
Although he was unable to form a Dao Art immediately, killing people with his penetrative force was not a problem. Pei Zi Yun was very satisfied as he entered the mist.
"Reporting, we've lost contact with the third team!"
"Reporting, we've lost contact with the fifth team!"
"Reporting, we've lost contact with the first team as well!" The communications officer reported loudly. His voice was trembling. Even if he was a soldier, he had never suffered such a huge loss.
"What? How is that possible? "
In the blink of an eye, three squads had been annihilated. This meant that more than thirty people, or an entire squad (platoon), had been annihilated. Iwasaki Tomoyuki's heart ached in disbelief. Two-thirds of the people who had been annihilated were his direct subordinates. He immediately suggested, "Major, bombard Area B1 to B10 with artillery fire.
"No, that woman cannot die." The priest said as he looked at Hayakawa Naomi's blurry photo. His eyes were filled with fear and desire.
Iwasaki Tomoyuki's eyes were filled with malice, but he did not speak.
The Divine Priests were something that had only been created recently. Due to the large number of demons attacking the citizens, even if they were heavily restricted, the simple secular armed forces would still be exhausted. Not only that, they weren't very effective. That was why both the police and the military had added Divine Priests to their ranks.
Although priests did not have the authority to command, they had to rely on them for many things. Hence, they still had a lot of influence.
An Zehiro did not want to offend a priest. Based on his position, he knew that the power of the Shinto faction was growing rapidly. In fact, they were even competing with the shogunate. The person that he wanted to curry favor with had to be related to the Shinto faction.
"If that's the case, then avoid area B5!" An Zehiro heard this and immediately ordered, "That woman is hiding there."
"Also, not only the artillery, but also the explosives that were planted beforehand. Detonate them immediately!"
"Yes!" Immediately, someone picked up the detonator.
Once they were done, an order was given, and the artillery and the detonator were fired simultaneously.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sound of the explosion shook the heavens and the earth. On the screen, one could see a series of houses and buildings collapsing.
