I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 284: Kite Tactics



Colonel Arao's glabella was less than a finger's width apart, the so-called "narrow forehead" facial characteristic.

Those with such features often tend to be stubborn about minor issues, act on impulse, and are opinionated and self-righteous.

At this moment, he was pressuring his subordinates to strap on explosives, a testament to this very trait.

In his view, subordinates should serve as human bombs while he used his remaining True Qi to launch a final, deadly move.

It wasn't about killing the monster, as long as he could seize the Magic Artifact!

Then, he would surely be knighted by the Emperor as "Kazoku," with resources freely at his disposal, enough to glimpse the Golden Body Path during his lifetime!

Alas, his grand plan had no chance of realization—a 125MM White Phosphorus Shell was whistling towards him!

Colonel Arao was busy forcing a subordinate to strap on the explosives when the shell, with an initial speed of 1500 meters per second, arrived in front of him in a flash!

He had just enough time to turn around and swing his katana, infusing it with True Qi, slashing at the shell to detonate it prematurely!

For an Innate Martial Artist, as long as the shell did not hit the body directly, it wouldn't be fatal!

But... this was a White Phosphorus Shell! "The Conventional Weapons Convention" of Blue Star had banned it as a prohibited weapon.

After the shell exploded, a dense puff of orange-red material spewing white smoke scattered like rain, covering the surrounding crowd.

This was white phosphorus; it would adhere to the skin and burn continuously until extinguished, with a temperature that could exceed 1000 degrees.

3 Organ Refining Realm Samurai screamed and rolled on the ground, the white phosphorus on their bodies burning relentlessly, searing through skin and flesh into their bones.

The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of garlic, which soon turned into the odor of char.

The 3 samurai's bodies were covered with charred holes burnt right through, and they soon stopped moving, yet the white phosphorus inside them was still burning despite their death.

Colonel Arao, being closest and most contaminated, was covered in sizzling orange-yellow spots, emitting thick smoke.

But an Innate Realm powerhouse possessed unimaginable vitality and exceptional physical quality.

Colonel Arao shook his True Qi, shaking off most of the white phosphorus.

His body was riddled with pitted burn wounds, some exposing charred bones, an incredibly terrifying sight.

Despite this, he maintained his fighting capacity and attempted to escape with a twist of his body.

Unfortunately, the second shell was already on its way!

It was a Depleted Uranium Shell, with incredibly strong armor-penetrating capabilities.

But Lu Yao had chosen this type of shell mainly because—upon hitting the target, it could release a temperature of 6000 degrees!

At this moment, the severely weakened Colonel Arao couldn't dodge the "Depleted Uranium Shell," which hit him precisely in the spine at his back.

The body of Arao was hard enough to rival an armored vehicle, yet it was blasted with a fist-sized hole.

The tremendous impact caused the "uranium" in the shell to ignite, releasing a temperature of 6000 degrees and causing a violent explosion.

"My Magic Artifact..."

Arao's face showed intense reluctance, fear, and venomous hatred as he was blown into nearly a hundred pieces of char that flew up into the sky.

Only his two legs remained relatively intact, writhing on the ground for quite some time before they finally stilled.

The remaining 5 Izumo People didn't hesitate to turn and run, but Liao Ya had already taken control of the 14.5 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun through the tank commander's control panel, opening fire.

Below the Innate Realm, there was no resistance against heavy weapons, as they were torn apart by Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells.

The farthest one only made it 500 meters before the machine gun sniped his head off, the headless body taking three more steps before falling to the ground.

With that, the Izumo side was completely wiped out.

Their deaths had some meaning; at least they informed Lu Yao—that the High Crown man holding the Pipa was not just for show.

~~~~~~~~~

The tank had been firing continuously, and the monster had already noticed.

It immediately charged, large in size but surprisingly fast—its snake-like movement reached speeds of 70 kilometers per hour, like a train barreling towards them.

Lu Yao didn't say a word before welcoming the monster with a White Phosphorus Shell.

He had prepared so many "fire" attribute munitions just in case he encountered such creatures.

Cannonballs whistled through the air, and Kuki Ryuichi, growing on the creature, howled in agony as a tentacle whipped out and intercepted one with precision.

With a loud bang, the cannonball burst, countless white phosphorus particles clung to the creature, emitting billowing smoke and flashing orange flames.

This caused severe damage, and Kuki Ryuichi let out an urgent howl, commanding its tentacles to carve off the flesh that was affixed with white phosphorus.

Apparently realizing the strength of their enemy, the man with the high crown holding the pipa opened his eyes once more.

By that time, Lu Yao had already loaded the second shell.

With a booming sound, the barrel spewed fire and smoke, and another white phosphorus shell shot out!

But this time it was ineffective.

The man with the high crown plucked the strings of the pipa, and the piercing sound of rapid melodies created invisible blades that exploded the shell in midair.

With the cannonballs no longer a hindrance, the monster had closed in!

"Peipei, kite tactics."

"Got it!" Li Pei immediately turned the vehicle around, flooring the accelerator.

The monster chased after the tank, swinging its tentacles down now and then.

Liao Qe handled the drone surveillance, while Li Pei maneuvered the tank with agility to dodge left and right, causing the tentacles to fruitlessly gouge large holes in the ground.

Meanwhile, the two responsible for the firepower were also busy—

Liao Ya controlled the machine gun and fired relentlessly, armor-piercing incendiary shells forming a continuous line of fire, causing the creature's flesh to split and several parts to catch fire.

Lu Yao also operated the main cannon, firing repeatedly as the booms continued unabated, but the music shattered the shells midair, rendering them ineffective.

The monster and the tank circled around the square, enacting a chase akin to "Emperor Qin circling the pillars."

The underground relic suffered, not just with the square pockmarked by the battle, but many palaces, both large and small, were forcibly demolished.

Either collapsed by the tank or flattened by the creature.

~~~~~~~~

Both parties had similar speeds, about 70 kilometers per hour. After chasing each other for a while, neither could gain the upper hand.

Instead, after being chased for a while, the creature took a heavy beating from Liao Ya controlling the 14.5MM machine gun.

Suddenly, it stopped moving; after a few seconds, the part with Kuki Ryuichi detached and became a smaller creature.

The two creatures started working together to chase after them.

"It can split too..."

Lu Yao was already troubled about how to break through the sound barrier of the pipa when the creature made the first move.

This segment of Kuki Ryuichi was small, about the size of a truck, but it was extremely fast. Using its tentacles on the ground for added propulsion, it suddenly caught up to the tank.

"Die, damn you!" Without a second thought, Lu Yao rewarded it with a white phosphorus shell.

Kuki Ryuichi tried to intercept the shell with a tentacle, but its decreased size also meant weaker body strength and power.

The tentacle was severed by the shell, which burst inside the creature, billowing flames and thick smoke pouring out from its body.

Kuki Ryuichi emitted a mournful howl, no longer caring for its injuries, it used all its tentacles to entangle the tank, allowing the main body to come and clean up.

Dragging a giant octopus-like creature, the tank's speed was noticeably reduced.

Having lost part of its body, the creature's speed notably increased, and it was now within 50 meters.

It was over five times the size of the tank, and it wasn't clear what would happen if it managed to entangle them.

However, Lu Yao wasn't the slightest bit panicked; he had prepared for close combat — a flamethrower.

The flamethrower was located on the right side of the tank turret, and it was just within range.

Hastily activating it, Lu Yao sprayed Kuki Ryuichi full in the face.

Wrapping it in fierce flames, it let out an especially mournful and tragic "Ahh~", its body carbonized, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.

Liao Ya's machine gun continued to spray bullets! Under the multiple attacks, Kuki Ryuichi's entire body was ignited, resembling a coal burning red hot.

One by one the tentacles broke off and could no longer entangle the tank. It rolled to the side of the road and burned on its own, and in a short while, it was thoroughly charred to ash.
