Chapter 122: Guided strafing
After Zhang Fan finished his cultivation, he didn't go to places other than the 50 million miles of general knowledge, and he was greedy for more than enough to prepare for any monster farming. After this series of "hunting" divine thunder cannons, there was not much left, so Zhang Fan first spent about half a month to come to a place on the "50 million miles of general knowledge" map where people gathered without power: Xiaoyao Valley. The area of Xiaoyao Valley is only about 100,000 li, and the population is only more than 20 billion, not even one-twentieth of the Luoyun Mountain system. Maybe it's because there are no monks here at all, and there are no decent resources, even the inner gate level Jianghu martial artists are young, so even if they are surrounded by a vast dangerous area full of demon beasts, they can actually reproduce. Either no one dares to mess with the strong, or the weak is worthless, which may be a way to survive.
Perhaps because there were no monks, and there was no need to leave a vast field space for fighting, the population density here also gave Zhang Fan a sense of familiarity and intimacy. The two or three thousand large cities with a population of more than 20 billion are distributed along the river network, and the urbanization rate is estimated to be more than half, and the population of cities and towns is about 10 million. At this time, Zhang Fan was somewhat admired when he roughly covered it with his mental power. Perhaps because he has not become a high-level martial arts monk at the power level, coupled with the fact that the population density is not low, the level of civilization development here is even higher than that of the West Sea Continent. The fine steel propeller boats, the carriage tracks, and the windows of ordinary people are all made of glass. Most of the buildings on the street are brick and stone buildings, and the pavement seems to have developed the rudiments of concrete. Water-powered looms, sewing machines, clocks, and canned food seem to have spread widely in various places. In a sense, according to Zhang Fan's estimates, the level of development of this civilization is much higher than that of Europe in the mid-18th century, and it is most likely to enter the modern industrial society. As for staying at the level of hydraulic civilization, it may be because of the lack of certain minerals, or it may be just a short kick in the door.
Of course, this time Zhang Fan's purpose is not to go to this semi-modern mortal world to experience a better life in the world, such a place must be accompanied by some mineral raw materials related to copper ore and copper artifacts that Zhang Fan needs. Perhaps because of the denser population, the scale of the copper mines here is larger than that commonly found in the Luoyun Mountains. Of course, Zhang Fan used his spiritual power at this time to directly suck out all the low-value circulating currencies and even the existing bronze artifacts in each city by means of actual combat in a large area, but after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't do that after all, he used mines that were not too low-grade to carry out direct mining.
The strength of cultivation and even spiritual power are unprecedentedly strong compared to the past, which makes Zhang Fan's ability to mine and refine now even stronger. Countless mountains were directly shattered under the bombardment of sonic exercises of specific targeted frequencies, and when all kinds of ore fragments flew into the furnace like an artificial sun in the sky, they melted in the light of the current in a very short time, and countless copper water rained down, and began to condense in the air and gather together to become a very high-quality pure copper bronze artifact, and flew into the Qiankun shield at a certain scale. The improvement of spiritual power and even internal qi and spiritual power in the dual direction has increased Zhang Fan's refining speed to more than 100 times the original, and what used to take several months of busyness is now just about a day of busyness outside the Qiankun shield, plus a day or so of processing inside the shield has been formed.
As for the cannonball itself, Zhang Fan was originally very worried about materials such as Xuangang and Xuaniron, but after a lot of hunting, there were many fourth- and fifth-grade demon beast materials that were enough to meet the material needs of many Shenlei cannon shells.
In at least seven mines in Xiaoyao Valley, Zhang Fan spent about ten days to carry out a "big sweep" of these copper mining areas, refining a total of one million tons of pure copper with a total weight of hundreds of millions of dollars, and making 300 pieces of divine thunder cannons with a total weight of 3,000 tons and an initial velocity of 5,000 times the speed of sound. About 100,000 tons of surface scraps were made into 10,000 pieces of various sizes and specifications, which were mainly used to deal with various small divine thunder cannons in the early stage of Jindan's peak Yuanying, and the overall strength had once again improved at a considerable level.
Based on Zhang Fan's current rough estimate: his original cultivation strength is counted as an extra layer of extreme realm than most geniuses, and he should have the origin strength of the four grades of Jindan, and the spiritual power has the strength of the early stage of the Yuan Infant or the fourteenth grade of the Alloy Pill, which is without relying on any external objects. In addition, the addition of the three-bone armor and the wind and thunder wings of about four grades is the level of about five grades of Yuan Ying. If the spiritual power is further improved and the demon beast material is used to make the Divine Thunder Cannon shell, the converted strength is increased and then increased by fifteen grades, and the equivalent is also increased to 10 million tons, and its combat effectiveness has entered the threshold of the middle stage of the transformation of gods. Even if the container of the Qiankun Shield is not considered, under the condition of using all means, Zhang Fan's combat effectiveness level has also reached more than two great realms, and it is still the advantage of the advantage level of the large realm of the 10,000-person combined formation, which is unimaginable in the past.
With such strength as the hole card, Zhang Fan also confidently and boldly started the way home. Roughly calculated, even outside of the Qiankun Shield, the one-year period is not far away. In the case of flying with the Qiankun Shield without any scruples, in almost ten days or so, Zhang Fan crossed a distance of nearly 30 million miles or so at a speed of more than 100 times and returned to the vicinity of the Luoyun Mountains.
With Zhang Fan's current mental power and perception, he can perceive many things at a distance of about two thousand miles. At a distance of about 1,000 miles, you can even sense some gossip in many urban and rural mortals, and automatically filter the information you need to know from the massive amount of information. Soon, Zhang Fan roughly got some information about the arrival of the strong enemy, and it was indeed as he expected: perhaps his own journey had been delayed too much time this time, and the entire cultivation world of the Luoyun Mountain System had already fallen about a month ago under the invasion of a strong enemy hundreds of millions of miles away. Such news is not usually felt in the mortal world, because the monks who are completely controlled by the mind seem to be still carrying out some order as usual. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Fan's spiritual power had reached the peak of Yuanying now, he might not be able to find it so easily from a long distance.
However, perhaps the strong enemy who came from the invasion felt their strength to a certain extent through some news, especially the strength shown in the previous tens of millions of miles of monsters, and they didn't ignore themselves at all.
When Zhang Fan further investigated carefully, he finally discovered the coming formation: the mountain city of Luoyun Mountain had completely become a large array waiting for him to "throw himself into the net". There are as many as twenty-three masters at the Yuanying level, including three masters in the Yuanying Eight-Rank Realm, eight masters in the Yuanying Seven-Rank Realm, and twelve masters in the Yuanying Six-Rank Realm. With these Yuanying high-level cultivators as the core, there are more than 100 masters of the fourth level of the Jindan Peak who seem to be planning to come to experience and seek a breakthrough opportunity, and there are 40,000 masters based on the fourth level of the foundation building peak, and they are controlling the entire illusion realm within the specially arranged illusion array.
Of course, even if it was the union of 40,000 fourth-layer masters at the peak of foundation building, and then relying on the doubling of the phantom array array, it was only equivalent to a powerhouse of about the third grade of the Yuan Infant, and it was not at the same level as those other core masters. The purpose of this arrangement is undoubtedly that the strength characteristics of the ones he has shown before obviously rely on some specific "trump cards", and the purpose of these "low-level cannon fodder" with a scale of tens of thousands of levels is to consume the "artifact" he has. Some people from the Luoyun Mountain Chamber of Commerce also seemed to be imprisoned in the center of the large array composed of those strong hands, obviously with the purpose of making themselves jealous. This may not be entirely gambling that he is a person who values feelings, if he wants to manage the Luoyun Mountains within a radius of millions of miles, it is obvious that he will need a lot of reliable manpower and backbone.
Obviously, such a powerful lineup would be very difficult for even a person at the peak of the third level of the Yuan Infant to deal with. The master of the fourth level of the peak of Yuanying may have a certain certainty of winning, and such a character is not far from the strength of the god. Even on this vast boundless continent, the masters of the God Transformation Realm can be regarded as the top figures of the legendary level, how can they still be confined to this place with such strength?
These various arrangements for himself made Zhang Fan feel that at least those people who had cleared the news of the lightning dragon's lair might know, so they sent such a strong lineup. Otherwise, in the face of a person who is at best at the peak level of Jindan's ability to deal with it, and has all kinds of limitations, he doesn't need a battle of this scale no matter what.
Of course, for today's Zhang Fan, everything that seems to be unassailable is not completely incomprehensible to himself who has a certain advantage in "information power". Obviously: the opponent's strongest target is the central formation formed by the twenty-three Yuanying powerhouses, and if these are eliminated, then some of the other people who are imprisoned in Luoyun Mountain Mountain City will also be generally safe.
Thinking of this, after Zhang Fan completed the edge reconnaissance, he slowly used illusion to hide his body and flew to an altitude of about 33,400 meters or so. Approaching from an altitude of several tens of kilometers to an altitude of approximately thirty to thirty-five kilometers directly above the center of the target.
His spiritual power has reached the level of Zhang Fan today, and even if he has not practiced some illusions, he has begun to have some abilities to cover his breath, body shape, and even some things outside his body. In the face of a spiritual power master who is slightly lower than himself, he can not be discovered in a short period of time, a distance of about thirty kilometers or so.
Under the mobilization of Zhang Fan's secret spiritual power, nine 3,000-ton Divine Thunder Cannons in the Qiankun Shield aimed at the three Yuanying Eight Rank powerhouses with the most powerful aura from directly above, and the other eight Divine Thunder Cannons started to aim directly above and secretly pointed at the other eight targets through the exit of the Qiankun Shield at a certain angle, and the twelve Divine Thunder Cannons pointed at the other twelve targets alone
When everything was ready, with the violent vibration inside the Qiankun shield, the twenty-nine divine thunder cannon shells almost staggered one after another in less than one hundredth of a second, and passed through the shield mouth of the Qiankun shield at subtle angles and attacked the target below. With 5,000 times the speed of sound and the assistance of the Wind Breaker, it is almost unconstrained by air resistance and goes straight to the target.
Almost at the same time, the Yuanying powerhouses below also felt the threat, and they all maneuvered and dodged from different directions at the fastest speed, and moved several meters away at thousands of times the gravitational maneuver speed in one of the forty or fifty seconds of the projectile's attack, and it seemed that it was no longer the original position at all.
However, what these people didn't expect was that now Zhang Fan's spiritual power has been able to control these divine thunder cannon shells to attack multiple targets at the same time in an extreme period of time with the Shadow Talisman, although most of these ammunition did not hit the target, but the power of the warhead was accurately calculated in advance, at most, the central hostage was seriously injured but not enough to die, and even if the explosion of these strong people within a meter of the side would have a huge lethality.
Twenty-nine Divine Thunder Cannon shells with a yield of 100,000 tons to 20,000 tons of equivalent power were completely hit by a salvo in a short period of time, and the twenty-three Yuanying-level high-level powerhouses were completely damaged almost instantly. When these people's primordial babies tried to escape in all directions at an extremely fast speed, Zhang Fan was no longer polite, and launched a continuous bombardment with the non-salvo divine thunder cannons that had been arranged in the Qiankun shield one by one, and the violent explosions and thunder seemed to turn the entire Luoyun Mountain Mountain City into a sea of thunderstorms.
In the case of having an absolute advantage in strength, although he had to exercise some restraint in the use of firepower in order not to injure the "hostages" by mistake, Zhang Fan at this time still crushed these strong people who were not close to the peak of Yuanying with an absolute strength advantage.
If it was before, he might have played with those Jindan peak hundred-person arrays in order to train his level of dealing with opponents, and exercise himself only by relying on his own combat effectiveness, but at this time, he felt that there was no need to take risks. Therefore, he did not hesitate to use his strength at this time, through the original difference, against those Jindan peak powerhouses who came to take their own trials and planned to find an opportunity to break through, and launched intensive strafing with the ten-ton divine thunder cannon that was constantly lined up in the Qiankun shield, and in just a few seconds, the other party did not have a chance to escape too far, and hundreds of divine thunder cannon shells were fired, and the continuous explosions once again illuminated the surrounding range of dozens of miles.
With Zhang Fan's peak spiritual strength and strength, when facing these targets whose mobility is far from being comparable to that of Yuanying's powerhouses, he can easily control hundreds of divine thunder artillery shells at the same time, and adjust the direction when approaching the target in order to attack the target more accurately.
In this way, these hundred-man formations that could unite and compete with the masters of the middle stage of the Yuan Infant were killed by themselves in the second batch of attacks in just a few seconds.
Because the distance of the battle was too far, and Zhang Fan's height was the highest enough, and his spiritual power was strong enough, those attack methods such as mental arts, Gu poison, spirit beasts, and even magic talismans were almost all useless by the enemy groups that came to them, and they were killed in seconds under the strafing of the Divine Thunder Artillery Array that fell on this side.
