  After that, Jiang He took out a 100t yield nuclear warhead.

  [W-55 Nuclear Warhead]

  [Yield: 100 tons]

  [Explosive Radius: 6km]

  Jiang He breathed a long sigh, becoming much relieved.

  “The hundred-ton yield nuclear warhead is much reliable. Even though the blast radius was equal to the effective range, I could run away after I fire it. Can’t I just run away from the blast radius?”


  “As long as I’m quick enough, the explosion won’t hurt me.”


  That would work!

  Moreover, it was just an explosive radius. Jiang He estimated that even for the 200t warhead, its shockwave and fallout would dissipate by the time it spread beyond 8 kilometers. In fact, he just might be able to withstand the brunt explosion up to four kilometers in.

  Still, there was no telling how wide the fallout range would be……

  “Could Indestructible Diamond withstand nuclear radiation?”


  “Probably not…… that’s not a physical attack, even if radiation could hardly kill a martial artist……”


  With a flick of his wrist, Jiang He put the Dragon God-Type Nuclear Rocket Launcher and the three containers of nuclear warheads in his System Backpack, and turned towards his two gatling guns.

  [Ding!]

  [+500 Farm Points]

  [Ding!]

  [+500 Farm Points]

  Both sets of gatling guns provided Jiang He with 1,000 Farm Points and 100 Farm EXP.

  [Strengthened Gatling Gun]

  [Firing Rate: 6000 shots per minute]

  [Attribute: Bullets fired have a one-in-a-thousand chance of armor-piercing effect. When said effect is triggered, the bullet’s penetration would increase against alloy combat suits and True Qi defenses.]

  Jiang He’s eyes sparkled.

  Finally, a real treat.

  While the thousand-in-one chance was extremely small, it was already impressive for a gun that fired six thousand times per minute.

  Moreover, aside from the many normal bullets, the military had also provided him with a hundred thousand newly developed metal matrix composite armor-piercing bullets. Its penetrating force against alloy combat suits and True Qi defenses were already very high in the first place, and if he unleashed a wild barrage at a close range, even rank-seven grandmasters would have to suffer his hatred.

  Jiang He suspected that these were bullets that the Vulcan Rotary Cannon of his transforming sports car fired too, or it would hardly repel the rank-eight Killer Star back then.

  “A new metal matrix composite armor-piercing bullet, and a Strengthened Gatling Gun…… it would definitely kill a rank-eight if its armor-piercing effect triggers. As for whether it kills a rank-nine—that would have to be put on the test.”


  “Still, rank-nine senior grandmasters are so rare. How many are there, even amongst the military garrisons stationed across Xibei, every civilian martial artist and the Martial Arts Department (MAD) itself? Would I even have the chance to test it?”


  Hence, Jiang He decided he would carry one of the Strengthened Gatling Guns around with him, and leave another at his own gates, and Dumbo could use it when the time comes.

  The only complaint was that the military provided him with too few newly developed metal matrix composite armor-piercing bullets, at just around a hundred thousand bullets……

  “I could plant bullets too, but I wonder how many would I get if I plant all hundred thousand bullets?”


  Jiang He glanced at the time then.

  It was one in the morning somehow.

  Meanwhile, the mansion he planted had not sprouted at all—perhaps because the gestation cycles of mansions were slower in comparison.

  “Whatever, take your time. A day or two later won’t matter.”


  “As for the maid, I’ll wait until the mansion grows……”


  Hence, Jiang He carried one of the gatling guns off to his gates, saying as he went, “Dumbo, Trumbo, come out for a bit. I need to teach you two how to use this thing, and you could use it to shoot anyone who dares intrude our home when I’m not around.”


  The gun was heavy.

  Most were installed on an armored car or an armored helicopter.

  However, with the revival of qi and the exponential improvement of individual ability, it became easy for both martial artists and Awakened to carry weighs over thousands of catties. Therefore, it would be easy to carry a gatling gun over a hundred kilograms whilst charging, which was why it had become a strategy for single units, although the only problem there was reloading, and it would be better if they applied that strategy in groups of two.

  The [Strengthened Gatling Guns] were stronger than normal gatling guns, and Jiang He estimated that it was over three hundred kg.

  Nonetheless, he installed the gatling gun near the gates, fastened it in place before Jiang He took out a chain of the metal matrix composite armor-piercing bullets.

  The stark yellow bullets were arranged neatly, and that single chain held ten thousand bullets. That sounded many, but once the Strengthened Gatling Guns fired at its top speed of 6000 bullets per minute, the chain would be used up in less than two minutes.

  Still, the cost of making those metal matrix composite armor-piercing bullets were expensive. Even if it was much cheaper compared to a sniper rifle’s bullet, this single chain was probably worth ten million.

  But that was fine.

  Just a drop in the ocean.

  Moreover, it was a recyclable resource to Jiang He, and he could just plant however many he wanted when he had free time.

  “Look closely. This is how you load the bullet chain…… it’s called a loader or something, but names aren’t important. Just learn how to use it.” Jiang He then called out to Trumbo after setting the gatling gun in place.

  “Come over here. You try.”


  “Meow?”


  The Three-tails Demon Cat purred and pointed at itself, its black feline eyes showing…… wariness.

  Nonetheless, it walked up and clutched at the bullet chain, but the loader was too high and it just could not reach it. That was why it quickly started mewing cutely at Jiang He.

  Jiang He merely kicked out at it, seething, “Useless. Can’t you just expand your size? What use is acting cute?”


  ***

  It was already one in the morning.

  The moon was dim and winds were gusting, with sparse stars up in the skies and twinkling.

  In the darkness, a single figure was streaking towards Jinyintan Village.

  It was the Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult.

  With his combat blade slung over his back and traveling in night attire, he moved, aura withdrawn and his posture technique released in full. Even if it was not as phantomlike as Jiang He’s Blind Princess’s Eight Practices, he was extremely quick.

  Along his journey, he covered numerous villages, though ninety percent of them were uninhabited. Even so, the Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult was extremely careful, and would quietly kill anyone who noticed him.

  Eventually, he paused at the sign outside Jinyintan Village to confirm it.

  Then, he entered the village quietly.

  He had read the information about Jiang He and knew where his house was.

  Moreover, the darkness of the night did not affect a rank-nine elite by much, and since he had obtained blade will, he was one of the best rank-nines there were.

  “This village is uninhabited too, but it’s said that Jiang He himself did not move…… but I can’t afford to be careless. I’ll be in danger if the MAD and the military hid elites in the village.”


  Sixth Elder was being quite wary.

  He did not enter Jiang He’s house recklessly even when he found it, and instead lurked in the opposite yard.

  There was a single green belt and a road separating both houses. It was just a dozen meters, and he did not even have to look to know what Jiang He was doing, just as he did not have to worry about Jiang He noticing since he outranked him in martial arts.

  “Rank-six advanced!”


  “His physical form is powerful and his qi extensive. His True Qi is equally abundant and would match a rank-seven advanced.

  After stretching out his senses, Sixth Elder was ruffled inwardly.

  A rank-six advanced with True Qi to match a rank-seven advanced. How does that even work?”


  “Even the Holy Child could only get that far after completing his cultivation in the Sky Sage Arcanum. Could the brat’s cultivation compare to the Sky Sage Arcanum?” Sixth Elder narrowed his eyes and subtly looked through a crack on the wall, only to find Jiang He mounting a gatling gun at his gates while instructing a cat and a dog on how to use it.

  “???”


  “The cat is a rank-five Feral, but its aura is unstable and it must have ascended recently. The dog is a rank-four and even weaker…… but their intelligence is supposed to be on par with a child’s, and yet they are using modern technology…… hmmm……”


  Even before Sixth Elder finished the thought, he saw the cat put the bullet chain in place.

  At the same time, the dog……

  Pressed on the trigger.

  Brrt-brrt-brrt-brrt-brrt-brrt!!!

  Orange-red flames promptly streaked through the night.

  A dog manning a gatling gun—what sense does that even make? Either way, it had pressed the trigger and fired a wild volley into the night.

  “Now!”


  Sixth Elder’s gaze darkened at that. He drew his combat blade with a whoosh, ready to dash out and kill Jiang He. He could cover the dozen meters of distance between them instantly, and it would take him less than a second to cut down a rank-six advanced like him!

  However……

  Even before he could let his aura burst away, the walls in front of him were cracking as the bullets of the gatling gun shot through it.

  Then, he felt something cold over his chest.

  “.……”


  Disbelief was written all over Sixth Elder’s face as he touched his chest.

  Fresh blood was dripping all over his palm.

  What……

  How was that possible?

  ‘I……

  ‘I am a rank-nine senior grandmaster who has reached the boundary of wills! True Qi shields my body, so how…… did a mere bullet from a gatling gun hurt me?’
