Chapter 58 Luckily, my constitution is a bit stronger than the average person
This was when Lie Fenglei, who had been through countless battles on the Polar Star Battlefield in the past.
Knew various weapons extremely well, especially this model of missile... He had even come into close contact with it back then, which was why he could so effortlessly forcefully change the missile’s direction.
Otherwise, if he punched it...
The missile would explode, and the person would also be blown up.
Even so, Lie Fenglei still trembled for a long time before he could get up.
Noticing the astonished looks from Feng Zhichen and the others.
Lie Fenglei couldn’t help but blush, wiped off the ash on his face, and argued strongly: "I know this missile can’t harm you, and I wasn’t doing it for you. I just didn’t want the daughter of an old friend to die under this missile. You’re right; I haven’t done anything all these years, and precisely because of that... after seeing an old friend, I must try my best to protect her."
But after saying that, his bearded face turned even redder, didn’t this imply he’d been eavesdropping from the side all along?
Fortunately, his face was covered with ash, so it wasn’t too noticeable.
However, at this moment, no one was in the mood to listen to him speak.
Lie Fengyun was puzzled as to why this missile appeared here and targeted Feng Zhichen... Could they not know that Feng Zhichen was an honorary elder of the Martial Arts Association, with a very high status?
Feng Zhichen and Sun Lingli’s faces had turned extremely grim.
Sun Lingli’s face went pale, saying: "Master, the attack didn’t continue."
"Mmm."
The master and disciple exchanged a glance, both seeing the heaviness in the other’s eyes.
They were the target of the enemy, and the enemy would either make no move or go for the kill if they did.
And now that this missile had blasted over, if they were truly the target, there would surely be a relentless series of lethal moves to follow...
But now, the airport was in chaos.
Following the sudden missile attack, passengers in the distance were fleeing in panic, with alarm sounds soon blaring, warning everyone to enter the shelters.
No one feigned panic to approach them with malicious intent, nor were there continued shelling assaults...
This missile attack seemed more like a warning or a reminder.
What exactly did they mean?
Just as they were thinking...
In the distance, there was a violent shake of the earth and sky.
The ground trembled incessantly like an earthquake.
The few people, being martial artists, were naturally unaffected...
But the direction of the tremor was clearly towards Qingzhou City.
They looked up towards Qingzhou City, where a massive mushroom cloud was slowly rising, with a wave of air spreading in all directions in the sky, laying waste to everything in its path.
"This... this is an anti-starship missile!"
Lie Fenglei’s eyes widened in shock: "What on earth is going on? Why would such a level of weapon explode within a city?"
"It’s aimed at me."
Feng Zhichen’s pupils slowly shrank as he said coldly: "They’re aiming at me, they... they..."
Not bothering to speak further.
His figure suddenly shot forward; his previously old and stooped body now shot out like lightning, the filling power making him seem like a cannonball.
At this moment.
The entire Qingzhou City was already engulfed in flames.
No entry or exit was allowed in Qingzhou City.
No one expected that while the whole Qingzhou City was searching with all efforts for the mysterious clan, these mysterious people, instead of fleeing, converged towards Qingzhou City, having developed an all-burn-together mentality.
Taking apart those high-powered hot weapons into parts, carried in by different people, then assembled inside.
Under a premeditated, planned sudden outburst...
The entire Qingzhou City was instantly plunged into a sea of war and smoke.
Xu Lingjun was awakened by an incomparably dense sound of gunfire, opened his eyes, and met Wang Qingya’s gaze from across the room, both harboring suspicion and uncertainty in their eyes.
"What’s happening?"
The two exchanged glances, then drew apart the curtains.
Their pupils suddenly widened...
In the distance from the hotel.
A huge crater spanning hundreds of meters had appeared in the very center of Qingzhou City, where it had once been the busiest district, but now it had become ruins.
The scorching scorched earth still carried a pungent scent, which, even the soundproof glass of the high-end hotel couldn’t block, smelled like the scent of war entering their noses.
Bang bang bang...
Xu Lingjun’s pupils contracted slightly, hurriedly threw himself on Wang Qingya, and shouted: "Sister Yaya, be careful."
Before the words fell.
The tempered soundproof glass exploded with a bang.
The shattered glass shards flew towards Xu Lingjun and Wang Qingya.
Xu Lingjun shielded Wang Qingya, knocking her down, his side waist throbbing with pain as if pierced by a scorching needle, both burning and painful.
And after knocking down Wang Qingya, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Xu Lingjun finally saw clearly...
Below, fierce gunfire was erupting.
There were dozens of apparent ruthless thugs, all holding heavy machine guns, spraying bullets at the crowd.
The sudden explosion, innocence lost, how many innocents met tragic deaths...
The first thought of those lucky enough to escape was to flee, but having just escaped from home, they met tragic deaths again under this rain of bullets.
Thud~ thud~ thud~
A few soft landing sounds were heard.
On the ground, several deformed bullets plummeted from his skin, thudding~ onto the ground.
"Xiaojun, you got shot."
Wang Qingya shrieked.
Xu Lingjun was equally shocked, I got shot?
In both this life and past, a law-abiding citizen for over twenty years in the previous life, Xu Lingjun had an almost innate fear and respect for firearms... Upon realizing he got shot, his heart couldn’t help but turn cold.
He hurriedly glanced at his waist.
He was wearing pajamas now, and having just knocked down Wang Qingya with too much force, his whole waist was bared, revealing several eye-catching red marks on his waist.
Apparently hit by a bullet...
Despite the intense pain in his waist, there was no bleeding, just severe redness and swelling.
And underneath, there were several bullets forcibly smashed flat.
He gently sighed in relief, comforting: "Fortunately, I’ve cultivated a body refining technique; my physique is a bit stronger than a normal person, otherwise, these few shots might have taken my life, but getting hit still hurts, so these bullets can still hurt me."
Wang Qingya: "..............."
She carefully pulled Xu Lingjun over, and the two hid by the window, peeking out through the gap in the curtains.
Looking at the scene, Qingzhou City had already turned into a human world purgatory.
The bandits were clearly well-prepared, releasing all their accumulated rage in one go, and it happened in the city most densely populated with people.
Children’s panicked cries, women’s shrill screams, along with explosions as violent as firecrackers...
Wang Qingya felt the still-hot bullets nearby, carefully examined them, and with a trace of shock in her eyes, whispered: "These are explosive flame bombs, bullets not allowed for use inside the Great Xia Empire... The enemies are either cosmic pirates or..."
The two exchanged a look, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
They spoke in unison: "Mysterious races!"
Xu Lingjun inexplicably recalled Ming Step and exclaimed: "Could they be after me?"
"Impossible, they’re probably after Elder Feng. I heard that Elder Feng angered those mysterious races of the heavens people because of spreading cultivation techniques on the Polar Star Battlefield... Elder Feng left so hastily because he was probably worried about this worst-case scenario happening."
Facing such a situation.
Wang Qingya, from the War Studies Academy, was clearly much calmer.
She said: "But who’d have thought that so many mysterious races infiltrated the Great Xia Empire, Xiaojun, don’t try to act brave. The military support will arrive soon, and once it does, they won’t hold for long. Moreover, Qingzhou City itself has defensive forces, so don’t worry. The situation will soon be under control."
