Chapter 541: 541. Super Bumblebee
"The 'Tactical Ghost' plan actually had a bit of a connection with Lu Yao."
That year, during the battle with the Church of Jinling, an Izumo powerhouse took a piece of Hong Renkun's mutated flesh away for biochemical weapon research."
To this day, the research has yielded results that have caused a great deal of trouble for the Expeditionary Army."
At this moment, within Jing Yi Garden.
Lu Yao had just completed his cultivation for the day, with the gentle massages on his head from the Liao Family Sisters providing comfort at his side.
Being struck by lightning came with a slight headache, and the delicate fingers of a beauty could greatly alleviate it.
Just then, he received a "Mind Communication" from Yu Yanmei.
After the connection was established, it turned out to be the most mind-force-consuming "video call"; there must be some important matter."
Interestingly enough, since gaining this ability, the person who had video called him the most turned out to be Xu Fu.
"It's really a fateful nuisance..."
Shaking his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind, Lu Yao focused his attention on the person on the other end."
Yu Yanmei's unrivaled beauty appeared on the screen, her words carried a serious tone, "Lu Xiaozi, we've encountered trouble over here."
She pointed her Divine Sword Tai'a towards another direction, and Bai Jingting appeared in the field of view.
The old man bowed respectfully, then held up a disgusting monster, which was a recently captured 'Tactical Ghost'."
"This kind of creature is incredibly tricky; once it has physical contact with a living person, it can instantly assimilate and contaminate, and there's no cure for anyone below the Blood-Exchange Realm."
Bai Jingting briefly described the features of the monster while holding it in his hand."
The creature struggled fiercely, its mutated bone spurs desperately scratching to no avail. The Flesh Realm is not to be trifled with, not to mention Bai Jingting's body was enveloped in a layer of Innate True Qi." Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
He continued, "However, this thing does have a weakness, it's quite afraid of fire."
Blistering True Qi surged out, instantly igniting the Tactical Ghost, turning it into a screeching torch."
Lu Yao voiced his confusion, "If that's the case, what's the difficulty?"
Mecha and Battle Armor were all fully enclosed structures, plus flame-throwers and a host of expert fighters accompanying the army, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with such creatures…"
Yu Yanmei pulled the camera back to herself and said, "Originally, I didn't want to bother you, but… you'd better see for yourself."
With that, she moved at high speed as though heading somewhere."
Along the way, Lu Yao saw many Mecha Warriors with flames spurting from their arms, turning the gruesome monsters into screaming torches, further confirming his own speculation."
But the next second, he realized he had made a huge mistake—far in the distance, there was a gigantic mass of flesh!
This mass was as large as a sports stadium, its surface covered with repulsive sinew and countless human faces and limbs protruding unevenly, revolting to behold."
These faces emitted piercing wails, the clearly visible sound waves spreading out, evidently a terrifying mental attack!
Yu Yanmei sighed, "Recognize this thing?"
Lu Yao nodded, glanced at the Liao Family Sisters, and said with emotion, "It's very similar to the monster from Jinling that year. Speaking of which… I've killed quite a few of them with them, truly a cursed connection."
As he spoke, 'Tactical Ghosts' with strange postures ran over quickly and merged with the colossal flesh mass."
"At the beginning, the soldiers easily exterminated these ghostly things with their armor and flames."
Yu Yanmei explained, "But it seems as though they have Spirit Wisdom, for they no longer fought alone but started to conglomerate. Now, no one can approach within ten miles, and the bombardments have little effect."
As soon as her words fell, the sound of cannonballs tearing through the sky screeched above, and two balls of fire burst on the massive flesh mass, blowing deep pits into it."
But the holes healed up in just a few breaths."
At this time, Yu Yanmei somewhat reluctantly moved the camera to Yun Qinglan."
Clearing her throat, Yun Qinglan curtsied and spoke crisply, "True Lord, I have interrogated the prisoners, and Izumo plans to deploy these monsters in the Divine Land."
This is the Otherworld version of biological weapons, and it's especially heinous.
Lu Yao's face darkened. "I'm aware of the situation, leave it to me."
~~~~~~~~~~
After ending the communication, he pondered over which method to use to deal with the oversized meatball.
The Creation Immortal Boat's particle beams, the "Super Hornet" fighter that the Star Alliance Country sponsored within the space-time bubble, or even heading back to Blue Star now to purchase aerial incendiary bombs would all be viable options.
But using the Creation Immortal Boat would consume too much energy, requiring a "recharge" after just one use.
"I'll go with the existing technological weapons, so I don't have to hassle back and forth and delay my cultivation."
Having made his decision, Lu Yao took out a pile of bottles and jars from the space-time bubble and examined them.
"It's going to be the Super Hornet then, with its mounted White Phosphorus Shells and GBU-37 sure to let the monster enjoy it~"
It was at this moment, Liao Qe, who had been by his side, suddenly spoke up:
"Lu Yao, are you planning to take care of that monster with a plane? I can also fly one, how about I go instead so you can rest at home and recuperate?"
She had learned to fly a plane after a battle on the Western Frontier; now she volunteered to shoulder some of her beloved's burden.
Of course, she also wanted to revel in the thrill, as she dearly missed using modern weaponry to clear the ground back in the Western Frontier.
Lu Yao had no objections, and besides, his Divine Thought was attached to her magical treasure, allowing him to provide remote support at any time.
"You can go, I'll just explain to you how to operate this fighter jet."
Lu Yao explained to Liao Qe how to operate the Super Hornet, especially how to manage the weapons systems.
With her Spirit Refinement Firmness, she memorized everything after just one explanation.
Next, Liao Qe entered the cockpit, and with the help of three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, the fighter jet was lifted into the air to ignite.
The "Super Hornet" weighed 16 tons, which was a weight even Lu Yao himself could lift.
But for the three Core Formation Great Demons, each nearly 6 meters in body length and with a wingspan of 10 meters, this task was trivial.
The demons stretched out their giant claws, gripping the front, middle, and tail segments of the plane, respectively, and flapped their wings!
Sand and stones whirled in the vortex they created, stirring up gale-force winds of level 10, while several thick trees emitted creaking groans, unable to bear the strain.
Then, true Qi surged from the Spiritual Sparrowhawks' Demon Cores, and just like that, gripping the fighter jet, they rose from the ground and soared into the sky.
At nearly 10,000 meters high, Liao Qe skillfully flipped on the switches for the engines on both sides.
Once the speed reached 60%, she pushed the throttle, and the "Super Hornet" no longer required external force, taking off on its own toward Seoul!
~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Seoul, a mecha warrior lifted a "Tactical Ghost" with one hand.
The monster battled fiercely resisting, its bone spurs and tentacles scraping noisily against the mecha but managing only to leave negligible scratches.
With the flamethrower pressed against the monster's face, spewing out rolling flames, the last "Tactical Ghost" turned to ash.
There were no scattered monsters left in Seoul now.
Seemingly aware that they posed no threat to the steel behemoth, the monsters congregated together, howling mournfully as they moved north toward the city.
Facing this creature as large as a stadium, the "Imperial Fist" initially had no easy solution.
When something is of such magnitude, ordinary flames prove useless, not to mention the horror of their sonic attacks. They could only bombard it continuously to slow it down,
Thankfully, a fighter jet was already on its way!
With the tremendously large creature underneath, Liao Qe didn't need to aim much; she selected inertial guidance and launched a particularly inhumane weapon—White Phosphorus Shells!
