Chapter 351: Chapter 298: How Am I So Strong (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_1

About two quarter-hour later, Li Xuan emerged from the Ancestral Master Hall of Tianshi’s mansion.

Then he looked up towards the sky.

With his Tao-protective Eyes opened, Li Xuan strained to see through the cloud layer. But even with his intense effort, he still could not see those five Yunzhong warships.

Just at that moment, the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix standing on his shoulder suddenly cried out, then Li Xuan realized his vision had undergone a drastic change. The focal length of his pupils suddenly shifted, bringing the scene more than a hundred miles away right before his eyes within a split second.

Then, Li Xuan saw a floating battleship, veiled in the clouds, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

At the prow of this ship, three gigantic cannons were firing.

The thunder-like roar had not yet arrived, but the colossal shockwave had already caused ring-shaped formations resembling smoke rings in the surrounding clouds.

Li Xuan’s heart leapt with joy. He thought about how great his Niulang was, and then felt overwhelmed by the sight of the two-mile-long floating ship.

"What are you looking at?"

As Li Xuan was frowning slightly, Ao Shuying’s voice suddenly resonated in his ear, "Are you looking at that floating battleship?"

Ao Shuying followed his gaze, "This is truly a miraculous contraption. I have read about it in ancient texts, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in person. The Great Jin Dynasty is in big trouble this time."

Li Xuan instinctively wanted to ask why Ao Shuying would say that.

But he soon realised that such a formidable weapon of war was certainly not built solely to attack Tianshi’s mansion.

Those cannons could easily obliterate the city walls of any location beyond the three capitals of the Jin Dynasty.

"I’ve heard that top-level heavenly practitioners can truly soar in the sky and enter the dome tens of thousands of feet high. Shouldn’t they be able to shoot it down?"

"No, they can’t." Ao Shuying shook her head."If it were just an ordinary ship, of course, I would have brought it down at will. But these floating battleships, their self-defense capabilities are equal to the Water Array of Eight Inner Gates of Nanjing City. If two or three practitioners of the Fourth Gate are on board, it would take me a lot of extra time.

That former Heavenly Master Qianyuan and Knife Demon Li Zhetian won’t just stand by and let me dismantle it!"

Li Xuan fell into contemplation. The ’Shenyi’ behind him spread out thousands of threads making the shape of a cannon, pointing at the warship in the sky. Thunderbolt flashed in between these threads.

In the end, he shook his head, retracting those threads.

Before leaving Nanjing City, he had tested a burst of electromagnetic gun using ’Shenyi’, with different-sized bullets.

The smallest was the size of a copper coin or a nail, the most convenient to use and best suited for battle.

The largest was an arm-thick, cone-shaped bullet which he named ’super electromagnetic cannon’.

In the situation that he and Fumo Vajra use up all their reserve Mana, the farthest one shot can reach more than three hundred miles.

So theoretically, he could hit those five floating warships.

His ’super electromagnetic cannon’ has amazing power. Within a range of three miles, even heavenly-level practitioners would struggle if hit by it. But the ’super electromagnetic cannon’ takes a long time to charge. Let alone hitting a heavenly-level practitioner, the chances of even hitting a practitioner of the Fourth Gate are virtually zero.

However, for these slow-moving large targets, the value of the ’super electromagnetic cannon’ shows through.

But merely hitting it won’t work. The metal bullets he fired have limited power at three hundred miles distance and would do very little damage to the five floating battleships.

He thought it might be worthwhile to ask Yue Qianqian’s parents to help him forge some special bullets after returning this time. It would be best to build also a convenient array for energy storage which he might use in the future.

"Are you thinking of shooting it down?"

Ao Shuying chuckled upon seeing his actions: "It’s more than a hundred miles away. Unless one uses the legendary Taboo Immortal Arts or has a crushing number of heavenly levels, these big guys are untouchable for anyone."

By the time she said this, the bullets had already fallen with a thunderous roar.

Just as before, the bullets rushed in with an all-conquering momentum until they got near to the core area around Shangqing Hall. It was there that the many fourth-gate grandmasters gathered, one by one resisted, and disintegrated the bullets.

However, Li Xuan also noticed that two of the bullets had been dangerously close to Shangqing Hall and Ancestral Master Hall. If they had been just ten feet closer, they would have smashed into these two core buildings of Tianshi’s mansion.

Li Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that this was partly because the power of those bullets was astonishing, causing the practitioners and Mages of the Fourth Gate in Tianshi’s mansion to exhaust their Yuan Qi. On the other hand, some people were preserving their strength.

"It’s ridiculous." Ao Shuying looked coldly, with a smirk at the corner of her mouth: "The ones who are truly devoted to defending Tianshi’s mansion are all non-family disciples. Most of those who are loafing around and looking on are the kins folk of that Heavenly Master —"

" This is because the Heavenly Master and his last three generations of ancestors have been impartial. They are also among the few in the history of Tianshi’s mansion who are willing to promote non-family disciples based on their talents and abilities."

The voice came from twenty steps away. Li Xuan turned to look and saw that it was Master Xuanxiang, who had parted from them in front of the Taiqing Hall. Behind him were more than twenty people, all covered in blood.
