Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Annihilation

Buzz buzz!

The White Bone Sky Slaying Sword hovered in front of Su Jie, blood dripping off of its blade as if the recent killings were nothing but an illusion.

The pupils of the Mande United Army soldiers violently shook, mouths agape, upon seeing Su Jie standing there with a strange flying sword whirling before him, severing the necks of a dozen comrades in an instant.

This eerie and terrifying sight sent a cold fear through many of the soldiers, and various superstitious legends came flooding back into their minds.

Su Jie gently stroked the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword and chuckled, “Go on, kill them all.”

Whoosh!

The White Bone Sky Slaying Sword trembled and sped away, turning into a silver line of death, cutting the necks of soldiers who were still in a daze.

The speed of the flying sword was simply too fast to catch with the naked eye of a common man.

Wherever the flying sword passed, many soldiers didn’t have time to react before their heads tumbled off their necks with a thud.

A thick scent of blood spread quickly; within a mere ten seconds, a large number of soldiers lay dead under the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword.

“Fire, fire at that monster,” some soldiers finally shouted as a reminder. Some aimed their guns at Su Jie, while others tried to shoot the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword.

The bullets aimed at the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword all missed their target, while the bullets shot at Su Jie were met with the thousand-hand centipede emerging from his sleeve, acting as a flesh shield in front of him. The bullets pinged off the insect shell, leaving only white marks.

These troops, fed with poisonous sustenance, were quite fierce – upon seeing bullets ineffective, some soldiers shouldered rocket launchers, aiming at the thousand-hand centipede and pulling the trigger.

Boom!

The fireball from the rocket made the thousand-hand centipede cry out twice as its shell cracked a bit.

On a nearby armored vehicle, the heavy machine gun revolved, spitting out a two-meter-long tongue of flame. A 30mm armor-piercing incendiary bullet shot forth, penetrating the shell of the thousand-hand centipede and green insect blood gushed out.

Luckily, the thousand-hand centipede had a strong regenerative ability; the injured parts turned into small centipedes and fell off, with the wound healing quickly.

“It’s working, it’s afraid of rocket launchers and machine guns, fire and blow it up,” the soldiers excitedly shouted, seeing hope as more heavy weapons focused their fire.

“It seems I still can’t withstand heavy firepower after all,” Su Jie mused after testing the defense capabilities of the thousand-hand centipede against ordinary heavy firepower.

If they were to use tank armor-piercing bullets or missiles, the current stage of the thousand-hand centipede would definitely not be able to withstand them.

“Forget it, let’s finish them off first.”

Having figured out the defensive limits of the thousand-hand centipede against modern heavy firepower, Su Jie’s thoughts changed in an instant, and he operated the Green Rainbow Sword Technique with full power.

The White Bone Sky Slaying Sword whistled through the air, its flying speed increasing dramatically.

A few soldiers carrying rocket launchers only saw a blur before they were cut in half by the flying sword.

The momentum of the flying sword didn’t wane, piercing through the armor of an armored vehicle, killing everyone inside before drilling out the top.

Suddenly, an explosive roar came from the sky.

A missile flew in from a distance, landing where the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword had been, igniting a massive fireball. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The nearby soldiers were not spared either; a huge blast wave swept over them, knocking down many, and the fierce explosion left the entire battlefield eerily silent.

Then, noise returned, and the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword flew out of the smoke unscathed, heading towards the attack helicopter that had attacked it.

The approaching attack helicopter had just opened its rocket pod when it saw the silver light approaching in a flash, cleaving off the propellers in midair.

“Crash, crash, the helicopter’s out of control…”

The two pilots were terrified, frantically pulling at the control stick, trying to make the helicopter autorotate and land.

But all their efforts were in vain. The helicopter, spinning erratically at high speed, flung them around the cockpit, and eventually, it lost all control and exploded into a ball of fire on the ground.

After dealing with several major threats, the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword was unconstrained.

Military vehicles were pierced by the Flying Sword, blood flowing freely and staining the earth red.

The soldiers armed with light weapons met an even more tragic fate. Wherever the Flying Sword passed, whether the soldiers stood or lay down, they were bisected at the waist.

Those who were not immediately dead could only drag their bisected bodies across the ground, their continuous screams of agony piercing the heart with fear.

“My waist, my waist is broken, someone save me.”

“Wuu, that guy’s not human, I want to go home, I want to go home.”

“We’ve angered the gods, this is their punishment for us. Everyone kneel and pray with me for the forgiveness of the divine.”

The morale of the Mande United Army suddenly collapsed. As the saying goes, an army’s defeat is like a landslide. The Mande United Army, previously courageous enough to resist, screamed in terror under the onslaught of the Flying Sword. All thoughts of resistance dissipated as they dropped their weapons and scattered in all directions.

Patting the Thousand-Hand Centipede, Su Jie issued his command calmly, “Don’t let a single one escape.”

Su Jie was determined not to let them go. Only the dead could keep secrets, and all eyewitnesses had to be completely eliminated today.

The Thousand-Hand Centipede screeched, and pale corpse hands detached from its body, chasing after the fleeing soldiers. The Corpse Hands latched onto their bodies and twisted their necks.

At the same time, soldiers were accurately slain by the Flying Sword, and even their attempts to throw smoke grenades to disrupt its vision were futile.

Every minute, every second, soldiers died. The entire Mande United Army turned into a slaughterhouse, disappearing at a terrifying speed.

Lu Wenbo, who was waiting for Su Jie to be captured, initially didn’t take the gunfire seriously, thinking it was just some people Su Jie had brought to resist.

But then the continuous loud explosions, and his eyewitness of his own armed helicopters falling and exploding, changed everything.

“What’s happening, what exactly is happening?”

Lu Wenbo grabbed a staff officer, eager for an answer.

“Report, General, the soldiers say they encountered a non-human. The boss of Jieke Company is… he’s a monster…”

The staff officer stuttered his response and was immediately slapped away by Lu Wenbo.

“I’ve got no time for your jokes right now. Is it the Security Department from Jieke Company that has come? He must have gotten his hands on some military hardware.”

Lu Wenbo’s face twisted savagely, he simply couldn’t believe the staff officer’s tall tale. No sane person would.

He was convinced that Jieke Company must have secretly bought military hardware and armed those country bumpkins, launching an attack on his Mande United Army.

Click!

Just as Lu Wenbo was thinking this, he suddenly felt the sky darken as if something was blocking the sunlight.

When Lu Wenbo looked up, he saw a sight that he would never forget.

A gigantic centipede, nearly ten meters long and unspeakably ferocious and terrifying, loomed above his head. Its cold, emotionless Insect Eyes moved, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end and his breathing to halt.

“Oh, if it isn’t General Lu. I’m the boss of Jieke Company. You wanted me to come see you, right? I don’t think I’m late.”

Su Jie stood atop the Thousand-Hand Centipede, looking down at Lu Wenbo with a genial smile.

If one could ignore the burning military vehicles behind Su Jie, the scattered limbs and arms, and the soldiers who were still screaming in agony as they lay dying, then that smile could indeed be described as harmless to humans and animals.
