I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 377 . Cannon Attack and Kill

The Yihetuan movement initiated by Fu Fangsheng spread across the nation in less than three months, with countless followers rising up across the great rivers, north and south.

The group had grown immensely by today, and in addition to the original goal to "hunt demons and monsters without regard for fame or fortune," many from all walks of life had joined as well.

The mix of good and bad characters, of varying qualities, left Fu Fangsheng merely a nominal leader.

He didn't concern himself with others; when the great powers invaded aggressively, he immediately brought people to aid in the battle.

Yu Yanmei was also there, and the two planned to lead the passionate martial artists to cooperate with the Government Forces to strike the invaders.

At this moment, they stood on high ground, gazing at the British-Indian Expeditionary Force marching in the distance.

This time the military force numbered about 3000, all clad in khaki field uniforms, with military boots made of Tianzhu leather.

Equipped luxuriously, with machine guns and cannons of all sorts, they even had two "Matilda" infantry tanks!

These tanks appeared 20 years ahead of their time, fitted with 40mm automatic "Bofors Guns" on their turrets!

Equivalent to a super-sized Maxim gun, except with such a large caliber it was called a "cannon." Its immense power and full automaticity posed a huge threat to martial artists!

A Vampire Officer leaned out from the commander's hatch, judging by the insignia on his sleeve, he was a major; he was continually issuing orders, directing the entire army to march south.

Fu Fangsheng and Yu Yanmei observed the two steel monsters with a mix of curiosity and caution.

They had only seen them in newspapers before, this was the first time encountering them in person. Both their martial intuition and divine sense perception were alerting them that these machines were not to be trifled with.

Both had their doubts about the movements of the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers.

"Why are the foreigners heading south? Could it be they plan to attack Texas?"

"Perhaps they want to pressure the Imperial Court into signing a treaty and extort reparations."

After a brief discussion, they temporarily set aside their concerns, deciding to first wipe out this group of foreigners.

After a brief communication to establish a battle plan, Fu Fangsheng and Yu Yanmei were ready to take the initiative and strike, leading the charge as always!

Behind them stood 500 martial artists with looks of respect; they greatly admired the gallant conduct of their two leaders!

It was not that martial artists became braver the higher their realm; on the contrary—the higher the realm, the more they valued their lives!

With great power, long life, and joyful days, who would willingly risk their life?

Moreover, sustaining too many injuries and lingering hidden trauma was detrimental to breaking through to higher realms.

Therefore, going into battle was something that, unless enticed with great profit, one could not expect high-level martial artists to risk their lives for, this has been true throughout history, in China and abroad.

Nowadays, with the foreigners' weapons becoming more advanced, everyone sympathized with the risk, especially when considering the "Bofors Gun" mounted on the tanks—they were terrified.

Such a weapon could even kill those of the Innate realm, boasting the nickname "a mortal's tool for slaying immortals."

Yet Fu Fangsheng and Yu Yanmei showed no fear, leading the attack fearlessly at the forefront of every battle. Find your next read at novelbuddy

Such people truly deserved the title of "hero."

Just as everyone was ready and about to launch the ambush, Yu Yanmei furrowed her brows, "Wait a moment!"

She then took a maple leaf-crafted "Vermilion Bird" from her waist, which was Lu Yao's mind resonance item.

The Vermilion Bird moved twice as if alive, turned its head to look at the two and then spoke,

[Grandmaster Yu, Brother Fu, meeting like this is an unexpected pleasure, you're here too]

Fu Fangsheng laughed, "Brother Lu, haven't seen you for many days, your speed of breaking through is truly astonishing."

Yu Yanmei asked, "Lu Xiaozi, are you nearby?"

She was right because Lu Yao wouldn't have sent a message at this time if he hadn't seen them through aerial eyes.

[Yes, I'm nearby, about to bombard the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers with big guns. Pay attention to blocking their retreat, don't let them escape]

"Ah?"

Fu Fangsheng and Yu Yanmei hadn't reacted yet when suddenly they heard a sharp whistling sound tearing through the sky from afar!

The British-Indian Army also heard the noise; quick to react, they instantly recognized the sound of high-speed incoming cannonballs and hastily ducked or hid behind the tanks.

The next moment, a 155MM cannonball, moving at supersonic speed, descended from the sky and hit the turret of a "Matilda" tank with precision!

In the midst of a thunderous roar that shook the earth, dazzling flames and a shockwave swept everything away.

The tank shattered on the spot into pieces, flinging debris such as rocks and clumps of earth in all directions.

Dozens of soldiers were sent flying through the air by the shrapnel, becoming a mess of flesh, and even a few knights in steel armor were not spared, though their bodies retained a roughly human shape.

After the dust had settled, a huge crater two meters deep and five meters wide appeared on the field, with no living thing within a 60-meter radius.

Panic and screams filled the air, along with confusion—why were they being bombarded by fortress artillery in the middle of nowhere?

But within less than five seconds, another 155MM cannonball descended with a terrifying screech!

This shell, produced by the Northern Industry of Xia Country, hit the second tank with precision.

The scene from before was repeated: the shockwave blasted tank fragments and dirt in all directions, instantly smashing any living tissue into chunks.

Among them, a Vampire Officer escaped as a streak of blood, instantly appearing in front of his own Spirit Refining Gunner. He grabbed the gunner's collar and demanded,

"Have you found the direction the shell came from!? Fire back immediately!"

The Spirit Refining Gunner was also charged with the duty of deducing the enemy's artillery position from the trajectory of the incoming shells.

At that moment, he was constantly calculating with pen and paper, but the look on his face grew more and more incredulous:

"According to my calculations, that shell was fired from 30 kilometers away!"

"How is that possible!"

At the time, if a cannon had a range of over ten kilometers, it was considered long-range, and whether a shot would hit was left to fate.

But facts spoke louder than words, no matter how the Spirit Refining Gunner calculated, he arrived at the same answer.

One after another, 155 cannonballs fell with terrifying screams, targeting wherever there were more people, striking those with good agility.

In an instant, a deafening series of explosions sounded, and the horrific shockwaves shredded everything, tossing earth, stones, and limbs up to the height of a seven or eight-story building.

Frequently, as people ran, they would catch the blur of flesh that was once a human being, and some were even stunned by the explosions, sprinting in the wrong direction in a daze.

The intense explosions suppressed even the screams and shouts on the field, and the British-Indian Expeditionary Force crumbled without even seeing their enemy.

They scattered like headless flies, attempting to escape the terrifying artillery fire.

However, they ran headlong into Yu Yanmei and Fu Fangsheng, who were waiting at the ready.

Having witnessed the entire ordeal, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "The artillery strikes of a Spirit Refining Expert are truly terrifying."

Another curiously asked, "Who is coming?"

"It must be Master Lu from Yunzhou."

...

At this very moment, Lu Yao and his family were on a small hill 30 kilometers away.

Upon spotting the British-Indian Expeditionary Force, he immediately got out the 155 howitzer from his Space-Time Bubble and fired at them.

Although the distance was great, Lu Yao had mastered Spirit Refinement and Out-of-Body Technique. He previously could control Paper Cranes, but now, he could imbue every cannonball with Mind Force, automatically locking onto the enemy.

The cannon rightfully earned the title of God of War as a single shell would annihilate half a football field of life, ensuring certain death for anyone below the Innate level—perfect for the situation at hand.

Aside from the first two shots fired by Lu Yao himself, the rest were operated by the girls, with Su Erya handling the final shots.

Her little face was flushed, her expression serious as she diligently learned about artillery.

"My realm in Spirit Refinement is only Focused Spirit, and my aim isn't accurate enough, I need to work harder on Spirit Refinement! Only then can I be of more help to Uncle Master!" she thought.

While the young girl was reflecting on her performance, Lu Yao said, "The enemy has been completely wiped out, let's go check on Grandmaster Yu and the others."

Upon meeting, Fu Fangsheng approached with warmth, clasping arms in conversation:

"Brother Lu, long time no see! Your breakthroughs in both the Martial Path and Spirit Refinement are truly enviable!"

He was still the same pale and frail-looking man with a handsome baby face, but his experiences had sharpened his bearing considerably.

Behind him were Zhao Sanduo and Monk Ben Ming, dusty and a bit weary from their journey, but in good spirits as they came forward to greet everyone.

After exchanging pleasantries, they all set off for the Imperial City to settle down.
