Chapter 36: The Mirror Breaks

Autumn in Washington on the November equinox is getting darker. There was a slight chill in the air, and when I looked down from the sky, concrete buildings rose from the ground, and although there were no particularly tall floors, the buildings were lined up one after another, neatly arranged. Cars come and go on the wide, clean road, and the traffic coordinator who directs traffic on the street stands on a wooden plank, holding a bracket in his hand.

Spread out is a parasol with a direction sign at the top that says "Pass" in two directions and "Stop" in the other two. In addition, a mirror was welded to it with a bracket, which allowed him to see in the opposite direction without having to look back.

Relying on this versatile treasure, he can easily direct traffic. The busy streets make it difficult for modern people to imagine that this is a city in the 40s of the 19th century.

The noisy city is full of life and prosperity as far as the eye can see, and if the city has life, then Washington is undoubtedly the most dynamic of our time.

An unknown bird flew over the city, and after flying for dozens of miles to feed, it had already filled its belly, and then it was about to return home with a full load to feed the young birds that were waiting to be fed.

It flew southwest of the city, past the Capitol, over the city's green spaces, and unobstructed until it passed above the Pentagon in Arlington County.

A figure wearing beast-faced armor and a tiger's head mask appeared above the Pentagon out of thin air. The sudden appearance of the figure made it quickly adjust its body, narrowly avoiding the figure that made it feel dangerous, and then flew towards its lair without stopping.

Who is it if the person who came is not Li Ping'an?

Before coming here, Li Ping'an took Lorraine to Li Ping'an's dimensional world.

Li Ping'an asked Lorraine to sit on his side in the dimensional world. After Lorraine knew that this could help Li Ping'an, she naturally accepted it gladly.

And Li Ping'an himself returned to the earth again, wearing battle armor and holding a long knife, to the place where his enemy was, the Pentagon.

There was no need for any evidence, Li Ping'an determined that the person who framed him was the five-star general who talked to him that day and asked for the Ten Rings, and no one except him would specifically target Li Ping'an.

For an old man who is nearing the end of his life, as long as he can make himself immortal, even if it is only to extend his life for a year and a half, he is willing to do something that his previous self would never do.

Li Ping'an looked down at the Pentagon below, there was no sadness or joy in his heart, only the monstrous killing intent broke out like a storm and spread in all directions.

At this time, the people who were busy working in the Pentagon were all tense, goosebumps fell to the ground, and a sense of impending disaster made them feel uneasy.

And in an office deep in the building, an old man in a military uniform with five silver stars shining on his epaulettes felt a chill all over, as if his end was approaching.

Li Ping'an in mid-air frantically mobilized the cosmic energy in his body, and part of the energy emitted dyed the surrounding air with a layer of purple, looking like a vast starry sky from a distance, which made people feel awe.

Airplanes!

Li Ping'an was like a god of war, the long knife in his hand was clenched, and a steady stream of energy was infused into the long knife, and the long knife seemed to extend out of thin air.

"Let me see if Howard's new metal is really better than vibranium!"

Immediately afterwards, the long knife in his hand slammed in the direction of the Pentagon like a tiger that wanted to devour.

"Tengu - Split Sky!"

Laugh at!

It was as if the sound of scissors cutting through the long clothes sounded, the difference was that the scissors cut through the cotton cloth, while Li Ping'an's knife cut through the surrounding space.

After the long knife spitting out the sword slashed, the knife about three feet long sank straight into the reinforced concrete floor, and the place where the knife passed, whether it was a table, chair or a human, was divided into two.

Some of the hapless people happened to be pierced through the head by the passing blade, and their bodies that were moving suddenly stopped, and they remained motionless.

Then a line of blood began to spread, splitting his entire body in half, and blood splattered, causing an exclamation in the hallway.

The knife continued to cut through the cement and steel bars, and after passing through the top of the five-story building, it smashed two underground floors, and sank deep into the ground for an unknown number of meters before stopping.

However, this is nothing more than an appetizer.

After the sword, a thick crack appeared in the space where the long knife slashed, and it looked like someone had torn the photo of this scene, and there was a strong sense of separation.

Along the thick crack, black spatial cracks in the void spread down like fishing nets, netting deep on one side of the Pentagon. And then it continued to wreak havoc inside the building.

Countless spatial cracks spread wildly throughout the building, like vines in the rainforest.

Nothing could resist it, whether it was hard reinforced concrete or a solid wood desk, it had no ability to resist in the face of the spatial cracks, and it was easily torn apart.

As for the more fragile human body, it is even less able to resist in the face of spatial rifts.

The little clerk, who was serving tea and pouring water, watched as a black crack passed through the teacup in his hand, and then where the black line touched, the whole cup was split in two in an irregular way but the incision was extremely smooth.

He watched in amazement, and out of the corner of his eye, he faintly caught a glimpse of several black cracks passing through his body.

A wave of fear crept over me, followed by a permanent darkness.

The clerk who was filling in the information suddenly turned the pen in his hand into two, and the snow-white paper was quickly soaked with the ink coming out of the ink sac.

Mixed with the ink, there were large strands of red blood, and when he tried to lift his arm, the whole arm split in two, and the body sitting in the chair began to slide limply to the ground.

This happened on the northeast side of the Pentagon, and the interior of the building was covered in blood......

It's different from the miserable scenes inside the building.

From the outside, the building on the northeast side looks like a reflection in a mirror.

As the mirror broke, the reflection in the mirror looked cut to pieces.

And this side of the Pentagon is like a reflection in a mirror, in turn, refracted to reality.

The entire floor began to slowly collapse due to the fragmentation of the internal load-bearing structure and the division of the space by cracks.

The roar drowned out the screams inside the building, and the dust and broken cement buried the stumps, severed arms, and a large amount of blood.

Looking at this scene, Li Ping'an was not moved at all.

Under the divine glance, he certainly knew how many people in it had lost their lives because of his trick, and many of them might have never dealt with him. But he died because of his own revenge.

But he will not regret it at all, although everyone has no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, but since the two forces are in a state of hostility, there is no absolute innocence.

He will not find an excuse to put himself in a position of absolute justice, and he does not want to do this kind of behavior of standing on the corpse of the enemy to elevate himself after killing.

If those people go to hell after death and want to ask for their lives, then they can let the horses come, and he Li Ping'an will take them all one by one.

......

The loud noise and the shaking of the building caused the rest of the building to feel a strong impact, and they stopped what they were doing and began to look around.

But what they saw was the same confused faces of their colleagues.

Immediately afterward, a terrible alarm began to sound throughout the Pentagon, flashing red light, directing people to the safe exit.

In the depths of the building, after the old man with five silver stars on his epaulettes felt the shock, his first reaction was that Li Ping'an had come.

As a general, he knew that no country in the world had the ability to cross the US line of defense and attack the Pentagon without warning, except for Li Ping'an.

At this time, Li Ping'an began to take out a large amount of gunpowder from his personal space......

Although the energy now is enough to use the tengu many times.

But he Li Ping'an is not an old antique, and he doesn't have to crack with ready-made weapons.

Even chopping around all the time makes it boring, doesn't it?

But the bomb is different, throw it in, ignite it, boom!

The trilogy saves time and effort, which is not more interesting than chopping around.

So Li Ping'an threw various types of bombs into the building without mentioning martial arts at all, and he had a part of this kind of thing in his personal space.

His own forces also have a place to store a large amount of ammunition, and if you open an opening with the portal, a large number of bombs will continue to emerge from the portal.

So Li Ping'an unceremoniously stuffed a large amount of explosives into the interior of the Pentagon.

Because the Pentagon, which was originally a closed loop, has been blown off at this time, its northeast side has completely collapsed at this time, resulting in the Pentagon's original closed loop being broken.

Now it's like a hula hoop that has been partially chopped off and becomes an open pipe.

Li Ping'an used a portal to connect the warehouse where the bombs were stored to the Pentagon, allowing the explosives to flow through the building like a tide.

After doing this, Li Ping'an did not hesitate to detonate the bomb inside.

Rumble! Rumble! ...... Rumble!

Violent explosions continued to sound, the whole earth was constantly trembling, and countless birds in the distant woods swooped into the sky, and a large area of black pressure rushed to escape.

The strong shock wave spread rapidly, affecting cities dozens of miles away.

The inhabitants of the city vaguely felt their houses shaking, and then their own glass 'bang!' The sound of explosions exploded one after another, and the continuous explosions came one after another.

Small kiosk

Drivers driving on the street felt that the steering wheel in their hands was vaguely out of control, the ground seemed to be heaving as if they were breathing, and the suddenly shattered glass caused them to panic.

They all stepped on the brakes, fortunately there were no serious traffic accidents, but the originally smooth traffic was paralyzed at this time.

This scene made the people wonder if they had led too many evils, causing the end times to come......

The impact on the outside was so great that the Pentagon, at the epicenter of the explosion, suffered even more damage.

At the beginning of the explosion, the shock wave from the explosion could only be vented through the doors and windows because both sides of the first floor were tightly blocked by the collapsed building.

But this was far from enough for the tsunami-like manic shock wave to vent its strength.

As a result, the ceiling, which was weaker than the thick walls, bore the brunt of the manic shockwave.

Under the influence of the strong impact and the high temperature brought by the explosion, the surrounding temperature instantly rose to several thousand degrees Celsius, and the steel bars located inside the concrete could not support it at first.

Originally very tough and tensile resistant, they become soft and tummy like cooked noodles under the action of high temperature.

Under the influence of shear, the concrete began to crumble slowly, and then it was shattered by a strong shock wave, and the scene was like stuffing the 'little mine' cannon battle that I played with as a child into tender tofu and igniting it.

Broken concrete blocks splattered everywhere, smaller ones rapidly vaporized in high temperatures, leaving nothing behind, just like a human body within the blast range.

Larger pieces of concrete were scattered far away, and some even smashed on top of farmers' houses several miles away.

The fragile flesh directly skips the process of liquefaction under the action of high temperature, and instantly completes the sublimation from solid to gaseous.

Although the explosion scene was extremely spectacular, it was not very tragic.

There was not a trace of screaming or wailing from inside the building, only the crackling of the fire as it burned, and the rumbling of the building as it collapsed.

Like a fortress made of plasticine under the scorching sun, the reinforced concrete building gradually melted and collapsed weakly.

The five-star admiral didn't look very special in this explosion, and his body was also purified and sublimated in this explosion.

The clothes on his body gradually turned into ashes inch by inch, and the body under the clothes was also treated like this.

Even the silver five-star with the epaulettes representing endless power was not spared in the explosion, and the admiral, who wanted to live forever, but failed to get his wish, turned into ashes......

The explosion under his feet could not affect Li Ping'an in the slightest, although his own body could not directly resist the impact of the nuclear bomb, but with the ability of energy absorption, it was enough for him to survive the nuclear explosion and completely absorb his energy.

The current explosion was far from breaking through the upper limit of his absorption, so it could not affect Li Ping'an in the slightest.

But Li Ping'an's face was a little surprised at this time, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of surprise, looking at the spatial rift that had not dissipated for a long time after he had been slashed before, and there was still a faint spatial rift that wanted to expand.

Looking through the crack, it was no longer pitch black, but ..... all kinds of strange creatures.
