Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 506: Section 502 - Send Off with a Bang
On a night dark and windy, murder and arson became the sky.
Looking at the fires breaking out in White Truffle Town, Miyoshi Xuesen muttered to himself.
"This is the plague!"
"Blood Eye Heart Poison" isn’t a physical plague but rather a mental poison that can infect the mind, intangible and indefensible, no wonder it is classified as a forbidden technique. If wielded carelessly, it could easily lead to unforeseeable consequences.
As a Ninth Rank Psychic Series Spellcaster of the Human Order, Tuert possessed stronger spiritual power than others of the same rank, yet he could only directly or indirectly influence up to 216 people, this being his limit.
Under the veil of night, chaos spread throughout White Truffle Town. Considering the actual situation, the number of people infected with "Blood Eye Heart Poison" might not reach the theoretical 216, and the townsfolk would likely realize this soon.
Suddenly, a white flash swept across the center of the town as swiftly as lightning, covering half the township in an instant.
Seconds later, a sound like a howling wind finally reached outside the town.
The hustle and bustle were immediately subdued, replaced by increasingly loud cheers.
The Huntsman Squad watching from outside exchanged puzzled looks, no one knew precisely what was happening inside the town.
Chen Fei squinted his eyes, activated the "Basic Optical Observer (Level 8)," "Low-light Enhancement" kicked in automatically, turning night into day in his field of view. He chose to overlay it with the "Ultra-long Vision" mode, bringing the town seemingly within arm’s reach and allowing him to clearly see the situation inside.
In the central square of the town, a bearded man dressed in half armor was incessantly giving orders, holding a longsword in his hand.
Nearby on the ground and within the town, bodies were strewn everywhere, yet buildings and various flora and fauna remained unharmed. It seemed that the white flash had only slain those residents, or more precisely, those infected with the "Blood Eye Heart Poison" forbidden technique.
Noticing the change in Chen Fei’s expression, Miyoshi Xuesen looked over.
"What did you see?" he asked.
"Have your ninjas gone yet?"
Activating the "Infrared Thermal Imaging" mode, Chen Fei noticed warm-colored humanoid outlines lurking like specters in a dark corner, moving quite agilely.
Despite the enhancement from a Dark System Ability, the ninjas couldn’t entirely conceal their traces while moving; their body heat was glaringly apparent.
"What? Wait..."
Miyoshi Xuesen was startled, then quickly realized something, his face instantly changed as he hurriedly said, "Ninjas, all retreat!"
He subconsciously sensed a hint of danger.
The fact that Chen Fei suddenly mentioned his ninja team wasn’t whimsical but indicated a potential threat of uncertainty.
Better safe than sorry, it’s always better to be cautious.
At that moment, the white flash reappeared.
This time, through the "Ultra-long Vision" mode of the "Basic Optical Observer (Level 8)," it was clear that the bearded man on the town square suddenly swung his sword, unleashing a long sword qi that howled towards a dark corner of the square.
"It’s sword qi! And it’s long!"
Chen Fei gritted his teeth and without hesitation, extended his hand to his side, evolving the D-600 model railgun from the "Physical Evolution Database" categorized under "Firearms."
Energy Points -21!
Total mass 21 tons.
The twin lengthy electromagnetic acceleration rails aimed at White Truffle Town, each rail so wide that it took at least three people to circle around it.
A heavy weapon capable of firing 600 mm caliber shells was never small in size.
"Damn!"
Miyoshi Xuesen’s face suddenly became very grim; he had just received word that one of his ninja team members was lost.
Even though Chen Fei warned them in time, the ninjas were still too late to retreat.
Especially upon hearing the sword qi, it indicated the presence of a high-rank War Professional within the town.
Chen Fei saw several townsfolk carrying flashlights and mobile phones, using the available light to drag a body from a dark corner of the square.

He then looked back at Miyoshi Monk and said calmly, "Fire the shell!"
With things having reached this critical juncture, why be overcautious?
Regardless of the War Professional’s rank, just send him off with a single 600 round.
"Hiss!"
Miyoshi Xuesen’s expression became agonizingly conflicted; he grimaced for a few seconds before finally making a decision.
He waved his hand, tossing out a huge wooden box big enough to fit two adults.
A single wooden box contained a 600mm caliber artillery shell.
Each member of the Ninja Team had followed him for a long time, the longest for over a decade, and was even a close relative and elder of Miyoshi Xuesen, considered as the most reliable confidant.
The sudden loss of one person in this small town deeply pained him.

"Everyone, stay alert, watch for unfamiliar faces!"
Seeing the unidentified corpse dragged out from a dark corner, the mayor of White Truffle Town came to the center of the square, loudly calling out with a megaphone in hand.
He then looked toward the big-bearded man who had quelled the chaos in town by himself and asked, "Odin, can you tell where they’re from?"
Nobody would have expected that this inconspicuous mountain town secretly harbored a Heavenly Order War Professional.
The big-bearded man wielded his longsword a few times, like performing surgery, precisely stripping the corpse of its clothing. It was a woman with a plain face, unremarkable in appearance, but the array of items inside her clothes was not few: longswords, daggers, pistols, hand grenades, short steel needles, darts, steel wire ropes, blowpipes... There were nearly a hundred different items, turning her entire body into a miniature mobile arsenal.
"Ninja!"
As he examined the almost completely stripped woman’s torso, the big-bearded man’s expression remained unchanged.
As soon as he spoke, a chill arose inexplicably behind his neck, his hair standing on end, a sense of crisis emerging from nowhere.
"Something is off!"

The big-bearded man looked around cautiously, casting his gaze outside the town. The surrounding mountains, shrouded in night, were as dark as pitch.
Sensing something unusual about the big-bearded man, the Huntsman Squad, now redirected to a new target, heard Mayor Morgan Lee of White Truffle Town ask in puzzlement, "What’s wrong?"
Right at the spot the big-bearded man was staring intensely—a steep slope seemed to suddenly emit a strange light.
"Wha..."
Boom!~~~~~~~
The voice of Mayor Morgan was swallowed by a sudden violent explosion, which engulfed the entire small square with flames and shockwaves. The brutal force instantly swept across the town, sending countless objects, including entire or fragmented human bodies, flying in all directions.
The buildings around the town square, regardless of their height or size, were instantly reduced to ruins; dust enveloped the town and all lights were extinguished.
As the big-bearded man named Odin looked toward where the Huntsman Squad was located, Chen Fei had immediately charged up the evolved D-600 model parallel railgun.
The town was close at hand, not requiring full power for firing.
With no propellant charge, the full weight of 2.5 tons, 600mm caliber Demolition Bomb hit the center of the square at five times the speed of sound, landing right beside Heavenly Order War Professional Odin.
Any mortal, caught off guard, simply could not withstand such a large caliber heavy artillery shell; within a radius of one hundred meters, there was no chance for survival.
Even though the Huntsman Squad was outside the town, away from the blast radius of the Demolition Bomb, the spreading overpressure and deafening noise still caused their hearts to tremble.
The sound of breaking small objects fell like raindrops near the Huntsman Squad.
That single strike had wiped out a third of the living human signs in town. The power of the 600mm caliber Demolition Bomb was truly terrifying; the deadly shockwave alone claimed most lives.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The dust-covered ninjas returned in disarray, almost blown back by the blast wave. Had they still been in the town, probable further reductions in their numbers would have occurred.
After kneeling to Miyoshi Xuesen, they disappeared back into the darkness.
"Not going to fire another round?"
Chen Fei looked toward Miyoshi Monk, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
Second Uncle took care of killing and burying; the center of the town square had turned into a large pit, ideal for burying everyone.
"Our main mission target this time is Mayor Morgan Lee."
Miyoshi Xuesen shook his head.
One shot released, Heavenly Order dispersed, while satisfying, the subsequent reporting caused him more headaches.
As for other townspeople, counted as collateral while fetching rabbits, catching one counts as one, and it doesn’t matter much if not dead, others will deal with them.
The surviving families of Water Bear organization’s key members might be more useful alive than as corpses.
"Morgan Lee? Emmm... I seemed to just see someone who looked like him, probably gone!"
Chen Fei thought for a moment, recalling the man with the megaphone, who seemed to be their mission target next to the big-bearded Heavenly Order War Professional.
It seemed that the bombing had likewise left him obliterated to bits.
