Chinese Superman

Chapter 121 Bombing the Fishpond (6K Long Chapter)

These seven simple words exude unparalleled confidence.

If someone else said that, they might scoff and think he was showing off.

But when Xia Xinghan spoke, everyone was convinced.

Yes.

He was the Martial Ancestor!

The undisputed strongest person in the Xia Kingdom!

With this anchor in place, what storms and waves can't it withstand?

On the other end of the phone, the person in charge in Tianjin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and calmly asked, "Comrade Xia, how can we cooperate? Just say the word, and the entire city's police force, medical personnel, logistics, and all other resources will be at your command!"

"No complicated transfers are needed."

Xia Xinghan shook his head.

He listened to the city-wide broadcast, checked his communication bracelet, and received an emergency disaster relief briefing from Tianjin. He knew that the people in charge of Tianjin had done their job.

"Just like in the disaster drills, stabilize public morale and maintain basic social order!"

"The main focus is on preventing secondary disasters such as stampedes, robberies, and the spread of rumors."

"Please rest assured, we have done our utmost to handle this," the person in charge of Tianjin replied firmly and decisively.

"Alright! Leave the specific defense and combat tasks to me and the on-site military commander. We'll handle this [instance] incident. Your support in stabilizing the rear is the greatest assistance you can provide!"

After Xia Xinghan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He handed the microphone back to the commander and looked around at the soldiers.

They were fully armed with real guns and ammunition, and there were armored vehicles parked along the roadside, indicating that the weapons were not locked into the inventory by the [world].

"It seems things aren't as bad as they seem."

Xia Xinghan instructed the commander, "Lead the troops now into battle formation and advance towards the central activity plaza of the Sunshine Garden residential complex. Construct a ring-shaped defensive fortification centered on the [teleportation portal] vortex that has appeared!"

"The countdown should only have a few minutes left, we need to act quickly!"

"clear!"

The commander immediately relayed the order, and the officers and soldiers present roared in unison and sprang into action.

With tanks and armored vehicles roaring to life, and infantrymen following behind with rifles, a modern army marched directly into the Sunshine Garden residential community.

Xia Xinghan patted his pockets, then looked at Lu Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Lu, your relic, the Western Han Dynasty gilt bronze Boshan incense burner, is it still locked?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately took out the bronze incense burner that he kept close to his body.

No, it's always been here.

"That's good."

Xia Xinghan nodded, which was not unexpected.

From the perspective of the "world," Earth is a "dungeon," Jin City is a "dungeon," and humans are the monsters within that "dungeon."

Which wild monsters can bring up their [attribute panel] and [inventory]?

"Alright, Teacher Lu, I need you later—" He leaned closer to Lu Yuan and quickly gave him a brief message.

Lu Yuan listened, initially showing surprise, then understanding, and finally nodded heavily, his eyes becoming incredibly firm.

"I understand! Leave it to me! I'll complete the mission, even if it costs me my life!"

Xia Xinghan smiled easily: "No need to risk your life, just do your best. I'll cover for you."

Sunshine Garden residential community, central activity square.

The area, originally intended for residents' leisure and fitness activities, has now been simply cleared by the military.

A huge, oval-shaped vortex of eerie green stands in the center of the square, spinning silently. From the side, it looks like a thin sheet with no thickness, but it does exist there.

At the center of the vortex, a countdown of bright red numbers was underway:

【00:08:21】

Su Xiao, Liu Mengyan, Xiang Xiaohu, and others, along with the soldiers who had initially entered the barrier, were scattered along the edge of the square, using flower beds, pavilions, slides, and other structures as cover, remaining fully alert.

The atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

"Why hasn't the boss arrived yet?"

Xiang Xiaohu would occasionally turn his head to look in the direction of the community gate.

"Hmm, he said he'd check the barrier and then come over. Maybe something happened—"

Before Su Xiao could finish speaking, a rumbling sound rang out, growing louder as it approached.

Tanks and armored vehicles drove in, spread out around the square, and took up advantageous firing positions.

A large number of fully armed soldiers also ran into the square.

They quickly dispersed and began using sandbags to build makeshift fortifications. Light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and even recoilless rifles were set up, their dark muzzles all aimed at the central vortex.

"This—this is?" Liu Mengyan was stunned.

"Why are there so many troops here?" Zhou Yuanyi asked, looking puzzled.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky and landed lightly in front of them; it was Xia Xinghan.

"Boss!"

"Why did you take so long to come in?"

The crowd quickly gathered around.

"Time is of the essence, so let's get to the point," Xia Xinghan explained quickly. "The barrier has expanded since we entered, and now it covers the entire city of Jin."

"What?"

"The entire city of Tianjin!"

"This is way too exaggerated!"

The students in the Opening Heaven Class were all stunned.

"The situation has changed, but there's no need to panic excessively."

Xia Xinghan's voice was calm and steady.

"Our mission remains unchanged: eliminate all enemies that emerge from the [portal]!"

His gaze swept over each classmate, and he said with a smile, "If the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

"You just need to do what you're supposed to do, perform to your strength, and treat the [dungeon] as a trial to hone your skills."

"Yes, boss!"

Everyone responded in unison, their eyes sharpening once more.

Xia Xinghan nodded, then turned around and walked alone to the front of the dark green vortex.

He stood there casually, his hands in his pockets, a stark contrast to the tense defenses and gunfire behind him.

It was as if he alone was an insurmountable Great Wall of Steel.

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand!

【00:00:05】

【00:00:03】

【00:00:01】

The countdown has finally reached zero.

[Portal open!]

The once tranquil, eerie green vortex suddenly accelerated its rotation, its center becoming incredibly deep, as if connected to an abyss of another world.

In an instant, everyone held their breath.

The soldiers' fingers were on the triggers.

The students of the Opening Heaven Class silently circulated their energy, their spiritual power surging within their bodies, preparing to unleash their innate supernatural abilities.

They prepared for the impending shock.

[Link] What lies on the other side is entirely unknown.

Could it be that a thick, terrifying, slimy tentacle suddenly extends from the [portal] and sweeps everyone away?

The unknown is the most terrifying thing!

however.

One second — Two seconds — Three seconds —

Five seconds passed.

The vortex continued to spin, but—nothing came out.

Xia Xinghan stepped forward and reached out to touch the vortex, but he was unable to enter the [teleportation portal].

The square was deathly silent, with only the sound of the wind rushing through the buildings and the tense, rapid heartbeats of the crowd.

"What the hell?"

"All talk and no action?"

"Could it be—a false alarm? The monster isn't coming?"

Xiang Xiaohu, Zhou Yuanyi, and the others couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Before the [portal], Xia Xinghan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The next moment, his super hearing expanded to its limit, covering the entire area of ​​Tianjin.

"Hmph, just as I expected—"

He snorted coldly.

"It's not that it didn't appear, but rather that it changed its appearance method—random teleportation," did it anticipate that we would block the entrance?

"You have your clever strategies, and I have my own ways to get over the wall."

He turned sharply, looked at the rooftop of a residential building behind the side of the square, and shouted loudly, "Teacher Lu! Now!"

"It's my turn."

Lu Yuan, who had been waiting there, took a deep breath upon hearing this.

He held the Western Han Dynasty gilded bronze Boshan furnace in both hands, and poured the innate spiritual power stored in his dantian, along with his most primordial life essence, into the furnace like a flood bursting its banks, recklessly and frantically.

"The incense burner in Boshan burns with the fire of sandalwood—two plumes of smoke rising in unison above the purple clouds!"

With each word he uttered, his face grew paler, and his once black hair turned visibly white.

"Buzz"

The bronze Boshan censer trembled violently, and the lid opened automatically. There was no agarwood inside, but Lu Yuan's spiritual power and burning life force were more intense and pure than any incense.

The wisps of smoke, no longer the usual bluish-white, but tinged with a faint golden-purple glow, rose into the sky!

The scene changed drastically in the next moment!

Centered on the Boshan furnace, a bronze-colored illusory mountain rises from the ground, majestic and ethereal, with gilded cloud patterns spreading in all directions and rays of light shining everywhere.

A vast and profound spatial displacement force, like invisible ripples, swept across the entire square and the nearby streets in an instant, and then spread throughout the entire city of Tianjin at an incredible speed!

"The show is about to begin."

Xia Xinghan's lips curled into a smile.

Without a sound, all the students of the Opening Heaven Class, the soldiers deployed in the square, and the armored vehicles—all disappeared from their original positions in a distorted light and shadow.

Also disappearing were the minotaurs who had passed through the [Trial Gate] and appeared in various corners of Jin City via "random teleportation".

They had just roared excitedly, but before they could even see their surroundings clearly, they were pulled into another dimension by the Western Han Dynasty Gilt Bronze Boshan Incense Burner!

On the rooftop, Lu Yuan knelt down on one knee with a "thud".

At this moment, he was emaciated, with a full head of white hair, and his breath was extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

But his eyes were filled with a sense of relief and satisfaction.

The Western Han Dynasty gilt bronze Boshan censer, now fully activated and imbued with mystical power, floats in mid-air, radiating brilliance. Circles of precious light spread outwards, and wisps of purple smoke rise from between the lids.

The purple smoke rises thin and long, then becomes winding and widens as it ascends, reflecting a strange and dreamlike scene.

The scene features mountains, water, people, and monsters!

Lu Yuan looked up, smiled, his hand trembling slightly, and took out two Rejuvenating Pine Seeds that Xia Xinghan had given him earlier.

The pine nuts from Huitian exuded a rich, fresh fragrance of life, which he unhesitatingly popped into his mouth.

Instantly, a surge of pure life essence dissolved, rapidly nourishing the flesh and blood that had been drained of vitality, turning white hair black and restoring a rosy complexion.

Having regained some of his strength, Lu Yuan stood up, stood on the edge of the rooftop terrace, looked down at the empty square and streets below, and muttered to himself, "I haven't failed in my mission—"

"Ahem—but to let the Taoist Wonderland of the Boshan Furnace cover the entire city of Tianjin in one go is truly pushing the limits."

"The interior space of this furnace can never compare to the vastness of famous paintings such as 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains' and 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'."

"If it weren't for the Martial Ancestor's foresight regarding the possibility of random teleportation," leaving behind the Returning Pine Seed—my life would probably have ended here today.

"Now it's up to you guys—"

Boshan Incense Burner: A Taoist Wonderland

Golden-patterned clouds drift serenely, while bronze-colored peaks rise in layers.

A vast, empty valley with a babbling brook.

The two armies are in a standoff.

The atmosphere was incredibly heavy; even the winds that had swept over mountains and valleys could no longer blow here.

The Tauren were clearly bewildered by the sudden spatial shift, their formation slightly scattered. However, Chieftain Shake Mountain reacted swiftly, pointing his battle axe and letting out a thunderous roar that echoed through the valley: "For the Horde! Crush them!!"

"Moo—"

Two thousand minotaurs roared in unison, their voices almost uprooting the sea of ​​clouds.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The war drums beat, buffs stacked, and the shaman began casting auras.

The hundreds of minotaur warriors at the front, their eyes bloodshot, began their heavy charge, causing the bronze ground to tremble.

Behind them, the smaller minotaur scouts began throwing short spears.

One by one, the minotaur shamans waved their totem staffs, and beams of earthy yellow light fell on the charging warriors, causing their muscles to swell and their skin to gleam like rocks—a blessing from spells such as Stone Skin.

Dozens of minotaur war drummers pounded their giant animal-hide drums with all their might, the muffled "thump-thump" sound carrying a strange rhythm, casting the [War Inspiration] spell, making all the minotaurs' eyes even redder and their morale soar even higher.

On the human side, at the commander's order, the well-trained soldiers immediately launched a barrage of fire to suppress the enemy.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang"

Rifles and machine guns spat out scorching flames, and a storm of metal instantly poured onto the charging torrent of minotaurs.

"Ding ding ding ding"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Ordinary bullets couldn't even penetrate the defenses of the minotaur, who was protected by the [Stone Skin] spell.

Chieftain Shaking Mountain, carrying a giant axe on his shoulder, flared his nostrils and exhaled heavy, hot breath as he said in a deep voice, "Having experienced the last [Dungeon], we all know that human weapons are quite sophisticated, so we deliberately targeted them."

"These firearms cannot harm our warriors."

Before he could finish speaking...

The human forces have switched to armor-piercing rounds.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Blood blossoms exploded on the minotaur's body!

[Stone Skin] cannot stop armor-piercing bullets, nor can the simple leather, armor, and the Tauren's own physical defense.

The momentum of the charge stalled.

Unfortunately, while armor-piercing rounds can penetrate defenses and injure them, they are unlikely to be instantly fatal unless they hit vital organs such as the eyes or hit the same area repeatedly.

The minotaur, wounded, roared in pain, but became even more enraged, charging forward despite the hail of bullets. The muscles at the wound twitched, squeezing out shrapnel.

Regeneration Technique!

"Rocket launchers! Anti-tank missiles! Aim at densely packed areas and large targets! Tanks, high-explosive shells, fire in salvo!"

"And the mages hiding behind the monster army—they are the real targets!" the commander shouted.

"Whoosh—Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!!"

The rocket, trailing a fiery exhaust, crashed into the minotaur horde, sending sparks and shrapnel flying, instantly blasting several minotaur warriors to pieces.

You have regeneration abilities, right?

I'll blow you to pieces, then let's see how you regenerate!

The tank's main gun roared, and high-explosive shells exploded near the shaman and drummer in the distance, the shockwaves overturning everything and sending limbs flying.

The heavy firepower displayed overwhelming power, instantly tearing several bloody gaps in the minotaur's charging formation.

However, there were simply too many minotaurs, and they were far too fierce.

The deaths and injuries ignited the ferocity in their bones. Some of the battle-hardened minotaurs charging ahead were exceptionally fierce, even grabbing the corpses of their comrades as makeshift shields, and their speed increased instead of decreasing!

[War Charge]

Dozens of battle-hardened minotaurs activated their skills, their bodies enveloped in bloody light. Their towering, towering forms suddenly accelerated, hurtling towards them like a high-speed train.

Even the armored vehicle, weighing over ten tons, couldn't withstand the onslaught and was about to be overturned by the frenzied, battle-hardened minotaurs when a deafening "thud" resounded, accompanied by the heavy shadow of a bell, which slammed down hard.

The military's top experts have made their move!

Their existence is to prevent monsters from breaking through the fire defenses and engaging the soldiers in close combat, thus making up for their shortcomings in melee combat.

at the same time.

While the army was drawing away the main force of the Minotaur army, the students of the Kaitian Class flanked them from the side.

In fact, under the repeated bombardment of tanks, rockets and other heavy weapons, the army of two thousand minotaurs had already been scattered.

Their target is lone Tauren.

Xiang Xiaohu let out a low roar, and his whole body shimmered with a pale golden metallic luster—it was the [Indestructible Vajra Body]!

Although it is only "half" of it, its defensive power is comparable to that of a Grade A external martial arts practitioner.

He stomped his feet hard, and his body shot out like a cannonball, not slower than the charging minotaurs!

"The Overlord Lifts the Tripod!"

He exhaled and spoke, pulling his right fist back. Suddenly, the phantom of an ancient and heavy bronze cauldron appeared above his fist.

Combined with the mystical power of the Overlord Cauldron, this punch possesses the force of a million jin!

Opposite them stood an exceptionally burly minotaur covered in scars.

[Tauren Warrior Captain]

Level: 41!

The Minotaur Warrior Captain roared, wielding a massive steel axe the size of a door panel, whipping up a fierce wind as he slashed down at Xiang Xiaohu.

"Thump!!"

When fists and axes clashed, a deafening sound like metal striking metal erupted!

A violent shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them, swirling up layers of blue mist.

Ultimately, the myriad creations of the Taoist fairyland depicted in the Western Han Dynasty gilt bronze Boshan censer are, in essence, spiritual matter.

Xiang Xiaohu grunted.

He took three steps back to dissipate the force, and with each step he landed, the bronze ground cracked with a "crack." He was shaken by the Minotaur Warrior Captain's axe, causing his blood to surge, but his eyes remained bright!

Overall, it was completely unharmed.

The minotaur warrior captain swung his axe high into the air, his massive body swaying, an expression of disbelief appearing in his bull-like eyes—

This tiny human is actually on par with him in terms of pure strength?!

Throw a skill similar to Appraisal over there.

A pop-up window appeared above Xiang Xiaohu's head:

[Lord-level Human]

[Health Volume: 11000/11000]

[Blue Energy: 2740/3000]

"You're that lord-level human?" the minotaur warrior captain asked in surprise.

A human boy?

Ten thousand blood?

Is this reasonable? !

Its health bar is much thicker than that of a normal minotaur.

Little did he know that Xiang Xiaohu had consumed half of a divine treasure.

Apart from Xia Xinghan, Xiang Xiaohu is the strongest in the entire arena!

Immediately, the minotaur captain became excited, his bull-like eyes burning with fervor.

"Very well! You are worthy to be my opponent!"

"That was great! Let's do it again!"

Xiang Xiaohu's fighting spirit was boiling. He took the initiative to pounce, his fists like mountains, dominating the four directions. He was entangled in a fierce battle with the Minotaur captain, and for a short time, it was difficult to determine who was superior.

Not far away, Liu Mengyan squatted down, placed her hands on the bronze ground, and poured spiritual power into the seed in her palms to activate her innate divine power.

In an instant, emerald light filled the air, the soil cracked, and as if an earth dragon were turning over, dozens of thick, dark green vines covered with barbs burst out of the "soil," growing wildly and winding their way forward.

"Swish swish swish"

Seven or eight minotaur warriors bound his legs tightly, bringing his charge to an abrupt halt, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Focus fire!"

Nearby soldiers immediately turned their guns around, unleashing a storm of bullets at the stationary targets, leaving a trail of blood.

Su Xiao stood slightly back, closed his eyes, and emitted a gentle spiritual wave around his body.

She quickly spotted a minotaur warrior struggling, entangled in vines.

"yield!"

Su Xiao opened her eyes, a glint of silver light flashing within them.

The minotaur warrior froze, the red light in his eyes quickly faded, and he became dazed. Then, under Su Xiao's control, he roared and swung his battle axe, slashing fiercely at another companion who was bound by vines!

Caught off guard, his companion let out a scream and collapsed, severely injured.

"Well done, Su Xiao!"

Liu Mengyan praised, while simultaneously manipulating more vines to focus on the minotaur attempting to attack Su Xiao.

Zhou Yuanyi was not as fierce as Xiang Xiaohu. His innate supernatural ability was the power of thought he had practiced for two and a half years. It used to be very useless, but now, with the support of spiritual power, he controlled the thin and sharp blade that the base had made for him, and kept reaping kills on the battlefield.

Other students in the Opening Heaven Class also demonstrated their abilities.

Some can harden their skin to withstand attacks.

Some release scorching fireballs, but their fireballs are just ordinary fireballs.

Some can produce sound waves —

They moved in small groups, providing cover for each other. Even if they didn't kill many minotaurs, they at least managed to survive the onslaught of the minotaur army.

A steep mountain peak on Qing Tong Xian Shan.

Xia Xinghan stood with his hands behind his back, the mountain breeze ruffling the hem of his clothes.

He surveyed the battlefield in the valley below with a calm gaze, deploying a gravitational field and occasionally making clandestine moves to ensure no one on our side died.

"Such a weak monster. It seems that this [teleportation portal] is located near the Minotaur tribe, so all those entering the [dungeon] are Minotaurs, and there isn't even a single Super-Tier monster."

"No super-tier species? — So if I come in, I'll just be a pushover, won't I?"

"Not challenging at all, hmm, I like it!"

Seeing the Kaitian Class dominating the field, Xia Xinghan nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone's progress is quite obvious."

"Even without my intervention, I can handle most of the minotaurs. The only one who is difficult to deal with is the minotaur chieftain. Xiang Xiaohu will need to fully unleash the power of the Overlord Cauldron."

He then looked towards the other side of the battlefield.

There, Chief Shaking Mountain swung his giant axe, having just killed a minotaur controlled by Su Xiao.

"A decapitation strike?"

"The idea is good, but unfortunately, the controlled minotaurs are stiff and can't even fool the strong-armed but simple-minded minotaurs."

Xia Xinghan stroked his chin, his expression somewhat strange: "However, I remember Su Xiao's ability isn't this."

"Could it be that minotaurs are considered cows too? Cows are animals, and animals can be controlled, hmm, that makes sense—"
