Chinese Superman

Chapter 95 What is a Body of Steel?

One, two, ten —

"Puff puff puff puff puff"

Xia Xinghan weaved through a hail of missiles, bursts of explosive flames blooming high in the sky.

But he was unharmed. His small body transformed into a human-shaped cannonball, colliding with the missile and demonstrating what a body of steel looks like.

Flames, shrapnel, and shockwaves struck his body, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing, yet they couldn't even break through his bio-force field.

"This—this is impossible!"

The captain of a destroyer stared at the radar screen, his voice trembling.

"He shot down seventeen missiles with his bare hands?!"

"He's still alive? Is he even human?!"

"Keep firing! Don't stop!!!"

The Phalanx CIWS began to roar, its rate of fire of 4500 rounds per minute creating a metal storm.

The barrage of 20mm depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds was incredibly dense, completely covering the airspace where Xia Xinghan was located, creating a unique spectacle of fiery blossoms.

"Bang bang bang bang"

This time, Xia Xinghan no longer moved at high speed.

He hovered in the air, letting the bullets hit his body.

The sounds of clanging and banging blended together, and sparks flew all around him, like sparks scattered during iron forging.

"clang"

A depleted uranium round struck him squarely in the forehead.

The bullet deformed and shattered, leaving only a faint white dot on the surface of his bio-force field before disappearing in an instant.

"A body of steel—truly living up to its name."

Xia Xinghan felt his body's condition and smiled with satisfaction.

Being exposed to a hail of bullets is almost like taking a bath.

He stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air, letting the shells bombard him from all directions. He was like the main trunk of a fire tree, with countless sparks flying around him, creating an exceptionally dazzling spectacle.

In just a few minutes, thousands, or even more, of bullets struck his body, but Xia Xinghan remained unharmed, and even the bio-force field could not be broken.

At this moment, Xia Xinghan seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

With super vision, penetrating the vast atmosphere, a satellite was discovered in near-Earth orbit.

"Starlink? No, it's a space-based weapon!"

Xia Xinghan saw a space-based weapon called the "Staff of God" being deployed.

This is not a space-based kinetic weapon system like the past, and the ammunition is not made of tungsten, titanium, or uranium metal rods, but rather a laser cannon equipped with ultra-high power.

"Still gathering power?"

"By the time you launch it, I will have already annihilated the entire fleet and then sailed away."

Xia Xinghan withdrew his gaze and crashed into the nearest cruiser like a meteorite.

When he was still thirty meters away from the ship, he raised his arm, clenched his fist, and unleashed a powerful "Mighty Rhinoceros Fist!"

A domineering and wild atmosphere erupted, and a bronze rhinoceros, larger than a tank, appeared out of thin air.

This monstrous rhinoceros, with its muscular body covered in heavy armor, charged through the air, crashing its head down and pounding against the cruiser's side.

"Boom!"

The bull's horns slammed into the armored steel plate, causing it to cave in like paper and shatter with a bang.

Seawater rushed in through the ten-meter-wide breach, causing the ship to list rapidly.

It's not over yet.

The bronze rhinoceros continued its momentum, piercing through the armor plates, its massive body crashing into the ship's cabin with unstoppable force, piercing through the hull and emerging from the other side of the cruiser.

With a deafening roar, the cruiser was pierced through by a powerful punch and sank into the sea.

"What a powerful Rhino Fist! It's really not bad!"

"I am very grateful to the Star Kingdom for providing such a good opportunity. It is perfect to demonstrate all the martial arts techniques I have created in the past and practice them."

Xia Xinghan raised his eyebrows in delight and rushed toward another cruiser. He raised his right hand high, joined his index and middle fingers together, and energy surged forth, spiritual particles coalescing into a ten-meter-long golden giant sword.

The Yongle Emperor's Sword!

"cut!"

He swung his sword down.

Just as Xia Xinghan said back then, if he were to wield his sword, it would surely transform into a dragon, whereas the Water Dragon Sword only emitted a tiny sliver of sword light.

"hold head high--"

The hilt of the Yongle Emperor's sword was originally shaped like the Buddhist auspicious beast "Qiong," which resembled a lion with jeweled eyes and a sword light in its mouth. But at this moment, it transformed into a golden dragon, rushing towards the cruiser and flashing past.

"brush"

The cruiser was split in two from bow to stern.

The steel at the cut melted and vaporized, forming a smooth molten cross-section. The two sections of the ship tilted to the sides and quickly sank into the sea.

"Monster—this is a monster!"

The Star Nation's navy was terrified by the slaughter, and the remaining warships began to retreat, but Xia Xinghan would not give them the chance.

He set his sights on the second aircraft carrier – the USS Nimitz.

The aircraft carrier is turning at full speed, trying to create distance, while fighter jets on the deck accelerate to take off.

Xia Xinghan took a deep breath, his chest bulging.

Spiritual particles converge and compress in the throat.

"Moo—!"

The coiled dragon roars and bells howl!

This is a Class A martial art, created by Xia Xinghan after observing King Qin Zhangbo of Chu.

The Chu King Shezhang Bozhong, the largest of the Zeng Hou Yi chime bells, was a ritual vessel presented by King Hui of Chu to Zeng Hou Yi as a gift to him for the ancestral temple.

The bell is flat and oval in shape with a flat mouth. The knob is made up of two pairs of coiled dragons facing each other, and the lower pair are in the shape of turning their heads back and curling their tails.

The zheng section is decorated with a relief dragon pattern and five round bubble-shaped ornaments arranged in a plum blossom shape.

The inscription cast on the front of the vessel reads: "In the fifty-sixth year of the king's reign, he returned from Xiyang. King Shezhang of Chu made this ancestral vessel for Marquis Yi of Zeng and offered it at Xiyang, so that it may be used for worship forever."

Therefore, when Xia Xinghan used this martial art, it was like two coiled dragons grabbing a large bell and roaring at it. The sound was like a dragon's roar and a bell's chime, clear and high-pitched, yet deep and resonant, with the power to kill a lion's roar.

"boom"

Invisible sound waves, like transparent tornadoes, swept across the sea, causing water columns tens of meters high to explode on the surface.

The first to suffer were the F-35s that had just taken off.

Their glass cockpits shattered instantly, and their wings, fuselage, and tail were pulverized into fragments that crashed into the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a sonic tornado swept across, and all the radar, antennas, and communication equipment on the aircraft carrier's island exploded.

The pilots on the deck were completely unharmed and were instantly blown into clouds of blood mist.

The sound waves even penetrated the deck, causing serious damage to the internal equipment. Soldiers inside the cabin collapsed, clutching their ears, bleeding from all seven orifices, their brains turning to mush.

Xia Xinghan moved again.

He rushed toward the Nimitz like lightning, and at the last moment, his feet slammed heavily onto the flight deck.

"Boom!"

Centered on the point of impact, the deck cracked in a spiderweb pattern.

The cracks stretched for tens of meters and penetrated multiple decks.

Even more fatally, the blow landed precisely on the aircraft carrier's elevator—the right elevator completely collapsed, severing the connection between the hangar and the flight deck.

The aircraft carrier's combat capability has been reduced by half.

But Xia Xinghan did not stop.

He leaped into the air, his hands forming a fist, creating a phantom image of a peacock blue glazed ceramic bottle. The bottle was dazzlingly colorful, with an elegant and elongated shape, and its mouth was slightly constricted, as if it contained a universe within.

"The Vase Seal!"

Xia Xinghan raised his hand, and the huge peacock blue glazed pottery bottle fell over. As the bottle tilted, the powerful spiritual energy was able to be like the Milky Way hanging upside down, turning into a surging torrent that rushed from the bow to the stern of the ship.

Moreover, this is not just a simple flow of water; it possesses the mystical and wondrous power of a relic, and its might is terrifying.

The enormous "Nimitz" was completely covered in guises and sank into the sea.

At this point, the last aircraft carrier—the USS Washington—made a desperate decision.

"Aim all available weapons at that person! At any cost!"

"Buy time for the Rod of God!!"

The remaining cruisers and destroyers abandoned their defensive formation and fired all their missiles and shells at Xia Xinghan.

Even submarines launched Tomahawk missiles from underwater.

The sky was shrouded in flames and smoke.

Xia Xinghan stood in mid-air, above the vortex created by the sinking of the Nimitz, watching the rain of death rushing towards him, and smiled calmly.

He opened his arms as if to embrace this destructive feast.

In reality, it was Xia Xinghan who fully released the gravitational field to test the new power he had gained after modifying the "True Explanation of the Refining Apertures of the Universe and Stars" at Wudang.

Miniature stars rotate, and gravitational fields unfold!

"call out"

Just as the first missile was about to hit his chest, hum!

Centered on him, an invisible force field suddenly unfolded.

The moment the first missile entered the force field, its trajectory began to curve strangely. Then, as if it had eyes, it deliberately avoided Xia Xinghan, bypassed him, and headed straight for the sea without looking back, where it exploded.

Then came the second and third waves —

Whether it's missiles or artillery shells, they seem to be manipulated by an invisible hand, colliding with each other, deflecting, and detonating prematurely.

"Boom boom boom boom—"

The continuous explosions turned that airspace into a fiery inferno, and the shockwaves even created a persistent dent in the sea surface.

Will we win?

"With such intense firepower, even a mountain would be leveled. There's no reason why carbon-based life forms could survive."

"Has Major General Andrew been notified?"

"The notification has already been given."

"Alright, before the [Staff of God] activates, fire one more shot with the electromagnetic railgun and try to kill this monster!"

A full three minutes of saturation attack.

As the last bullet was used up, the flames and smoke gradually dissipated.

One figure still stands.

Completely unharmed!

But then—

"Electromagnetic railgun array, prepare!"

"Target locked!"

"Charging complete!"

"Fire!"

Three destroyers equipped with electromagnetic railguns opened fire simultaneously.

This is the latest generation of shipborne kinetic energy weapon of the Star Nation, which uses electromagnetic acceleration to propel specially designed projectiles to incredible speeds.

"Bang"

Three muffled, almost overlapping explosions rang out.

The long electromagnetic railgun vibrated violently, with no flash at the muzzle, only the complex shockwave generated when the projectile broke through multiple sound barriers.

As the cone-shaped white mist burst forth, three tungsten alloy projectiles tore through the air at Mach 10, drawing three visible white vacuum channels in the sky, and hurtling straight toward Xia Xinghan.

That's incredibly fast!

Even a master of the Innate Realm couldn't react in time; facing an electromagnetic railgun, they would only be blasted into dust.

But... Mach 10?

Xia Xinghan turned his head and looked. In his super vision, the three cone-shaped bullets were not as slow as a snail, but they were indeed much slower.

He could clearly see the surface of the projectile glowing red-hot from friction with the atmosphere, like a fiery meteor, carrying kinetic energy thousands of times greater than that of ordinary ammunition.

The saying "great strength makes bricks fly" perfectly describes this!

The first bullet arrived first.

It began to deflect at a distance of 20 meters from Xia Xinghan.

The originally straight trajectory was as if it had been swayed by an invisible hand, and began to bend to the right.

The projectile itself is spinning at high speed, trying to maintain stability, but in the region where the curvature of space is altered, all inertial frames of reference lose their meaning.

It flew past Xia Xinghan, continued flying for several kilometers, and then crashed into the sea, creating a water column hundreds of meters high.

The second and third followed in quick succession.

Xia Xinghan changed his strategy this time.

He gestured with one hand, then flicked a single finger, changing the trajectory of the two projectiles.

After deflecting their trajectories, the two projectiles circled Xia Xinghan once before returning along the same path and shooting out at an even faster speed, accurately hitting the electromagnetic gun turrets of the two destroyers that had launched them.

"Boom! Boom!"

The turret was pierced by its own projectile and exploded, causing the entire ship to shudder violently from the impact.

"This is gravity—"

Xia Xinghan felt the subtle fluctuations in the force field around him.

"Not only can it attract things, but it can also change the curvature of space, control the trajectory of all attacks, and even—"

Just then, an unprecedented sense of crisis pierced his senses.

Xia Xinghan suddenly looked up.

Near Earth orbit, 1000 kilometers above the ground.

The space-based energy weapon, named "The Staff of God," has been fully adjusted to the correct angle.

On the surface of this satellite-shaped, 60-meter-long silver platform, a huge energy-concentrating mirror refracts sunlight, while the superconducting energy storage ring inside emits a deep hum.

"Target locked."

"Energy charge 98% - 99% - 100%!"

"Launch authorization confirmed."

"The Rod of God, to carry out divine punishment."

"emission--!!"

At the bottom of the platform, the dark and cold launch port lit up with a blazing white light, and the energy surged and churned, rapidly condensing into an incomparably dazzling point of light.

When the light spot condenses to a certain critical point, it is suddenly emitted, like a volcanic eruption or a flash flood, a high-energy beam of light shooting towards the blue planet below.
