As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1541 - 410: LV6 Rank Guanyin Lotus Bullet, Underworld’s Assassination Weapon for King Yan, Watching You [Monthly Ticket Requested]_4
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The projectile soared directly over the sentinel Grandmaster’s head, charging at a blistering speed toward the heart of the camp!
Its destination—
The very military tent housing the State Preceptor!
The sentinel’s eyes threatened to burst from their sockets in shock!
Boom—!!!
Simultaneously.
A cataclysmic explosion erupted hundreds of miles away, sounding as if a massive meteor had slammed into the earth.
Inside the primary command tent.
Xie Yushen, the State Preceptor, was engaged in a chess match with a gaunt, spindly elder. This old man was Gu Qianqiu, the esteemed Grandmaster of the Bashu Sword Pavilion and a powerful Divine Tribulation Cultivator.
The pair methodically placed black and white stones across the board.
They were deep in discussion as they played.
“State Preceptor, have you dispatched a message to His Majesty to solicit the assistance of the Old Dragon God from the Dragon God Clan?”
“Securing the Old Dragon God’s intervention naturally requires a steep price. Such costs... must receive the sanction of His Majesty. Furthermore, the Old Dragon God’s ambition is to migrate his clan from the East Sea to the shoreline.”
“Since that territory falls under His Majesty’s rule, the Dragon God Clan cannot come ashore without the Emperor’s explicit consent.”
Xie Yushen spoke with a subtle grin, his salt-and-pepper hair swaying gently.
He observed the chess match with complete composure.
In truth, the game lacked any real tension; while this Divine Tribulation Cultivator possessed a formidable Cultivation, his talent for chess was mediocre at best. It was only natural—a long life did not automatically translate to mastery of the board.
Xie Yushen glanced at the opponent’s "dragon" formation, which was currently struggling for survival, and offered a soft smile.
He plucked a black stone from the container with two fingers.
Suddenly—
Xie Yushen’s pupils contracted.
An overwhelming premonition of doom made his hair stand on end, and it felt as though the blood within his veins had turned to ice.
Danger!
An assassin was targeting him!
“It has arrived!”
“The Underworld... has finally made its move!”
“As expected, the Underworld has come to carry out an assassination!”
Xie Yushen inhaled sharply.
His intuition had been correct!
He had predicted this perfectly. Over the past few days, he had spent his nights meticulously analyzing intelligence regarding the Underworld; his knowledge of the organization was vast.
Opposite him, Gu Qianchi remained unmoved by the tension, offering only a faint smirk: “The Way of Mechanisms? It is a minor talent, nothing more than a collection of cheap tricks.”
Gu Qianchi’s sensory perception was staggering. As a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, he had mastered Dao Yun and established a connection with the Will of Heaven and Earth; his Heaven and Earth Soul had reached an entirely new level of existence.
He had already detected the menacing black-gold Thunder Dragon and the massive, glowing Lotus Bullet streaking across the sky from hundreds of miles away!
Plop.
A chess piece hit the board.
By then, Gu Qianqiu had already vanished from his seat.
He materialized high above the military camp, his vision locked onto the black-gold electromagnetic shell and the gargantuan, luminous Lotus Bullet as they hurtled forward.
He raised five fingers and extended his palm!
In that instant, the very atmosphere seemed to freeze.
A torrent of Sword Qi erupted, weaving together like a dense fabric to intercept the two lethal strikes.
Hiss hiss hiss—
The electromagnetic projectile, wreathed in black-gold Shenxiao Thunder, slammed into the web of Sword Qi. The colossal impact force caused the sword-net to bulge inward violently.
It resembled a powerful strike hitting a soccer net; as the projectile spun at incredible speeds, it looked as though it might tear right through the barrier!
Hmm?
Suddenly, Gu Qianqiu’s expression shifted.
The Lotus Bullet, though snared by his Sword Qi web, lacked the raw piercing power and momentum of the electromagnetic shell.
However, it began to vibrate at a terrifyingly high frequency!
Boom—!!!
A moment later, a blinding golden light erupted!
The night was completely consumed by a brilliant radiance; countless beams of light burst forth in a display of unmatched, dazzling glory!
A deafening blast immediately shook the heavens!
A massive mushroom cloud, radiating intense heat, detonated in mid-air. The cloud expanded in all directions, carrying a force capable of shattering the earth!
The Dao Fruit of the LV6 [Chess Saint], augmented by the powers of Great Avalanche and Black and White Collapse, had received a massive boost in strength.
Consequently, the destructive potential of the Guanyin Lotus Bullet was far greater than ever before!
A blast of this magnitude would be unbearable even for a Peak Martial Artist of the Martial Saint Four Transformations; they would likely be left dazed, broken, and on the brink of death!
The colossal mushroom cloud bloomed between the sky and the land.
It surged upward and billowed outward relentlessly!
It reached heights of hundreds, even thousands of feet!
Every living soul within a thousand-mile radius could see the spectacle clearly!
The entire imperial army camp fell into a sudden, deathly hush. Everyone looked up in sheer terror, paralyzed by the sight.
Their throats went dry and a chill ran through their bodies.
Had that Lotus Bullet actually struck the ground, the entire army...
Would have suffered catastrophic casualties!
If not for the Divine Tribulation expert stationed with the troops...
A single Lotus Bullet could have left the field carpeted in corpses!
A weapon of war!
A terrifying, ultimate engine of destruction!
Even Gu Qianchi, despite being a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, couldn’t help but narrow his eyes in thought...
What kind of mechanism is this?!
How could it produce such a horrifying explosion?
How many years has it been since he last looked, and yet mechanical arts have progressed to such a height?
With weapons like this, how can conventional war even be fought?
Deploying just a few of these would be enough to wipe out an entire legion!
Gu Qianchi hadn’t expected the explosive force of the Lotus Bullet to be so formidable. Of course, a single blast wouldn't pose much of a threat to a Divine Tribulation Cultivator like himself.
However...
Within a crowded military camp, the danger wasn't limited to him.
In reality, while the Guanyin Lotus Bullet possessed enough power to mangle a Peak Martial Artist of the Martial Saint Four Transformations, top-tier experts weren't idiots; they wouldn't just stand there and wait to be blown up!
They would simply move out of the way!
Thus, Gu Qianchi realized at a glance that while this device posed a minimal threat to individuals in a duel, its impact on large-scale warfare was absolute.
