A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 301 The Sound of Killing Pierces Through the City

In one of the five cities of Burma, in the city-state occupied by the Arhat with Heavenly Ears, a light rain fell as the sun began to set.

Tens of thousands of intelligent robot troops have been deployed to reinforce the city.

From the command center, the Arhat with Heavenly Ears directed operations, assigning five thousand Bhikkhu warriors to each lead a team of intelligent robots to deploy defenses throughout the city.

The reason so many intelligent robots came to reinforce was originally a preparation to receive the Skywalker and Dr. Jinmeng.

However, for the Heavenly Ear Arhat, seeing this large reinforcement force was somewhat like receiving timely help.

After all, just a few hours ago, an unidentified and powerful figure had already carved threatening words outside the city, claiming that he would "return the visit," which was actually the people from the Shenzhou Brotherhood Society coming to retaliate.

The Heavenly Ear Arhat believed that, being in the city and blessed by the three Indra satellites, he could withstand even if the leader of the Divine Continent Brotherhood Society and all the sixth-level psionicists in their society came together.

But with the help of the main force, I felt more at ease.

After assigning the deployment tasks, he pushed open the main door of the airship command hall and looked north from a position three hundred meters above the city center.

Suddenly, the smart plug-in in his eye projected a bright red warning sign in the lower right corner of his field of vision. The electromagnetic sensitivity of the prosthetic component "Arhat's Eye" was increased, and it captured a series of colorful magnetic light rings descending from the sky in the northern part of the Burmese Mountains.

"Is this a long-range signal transmission? But how could the coalition government use such a large-scale long-range signal transmission within their territory? With such an impact, I wonder how many electrical and electronic systems will be destroyed and how it will affect the entire city's ecosystem."

The Arhat with Heavenly Ears was filled with confusion and couldn't quite understand it.

Psychic energy can be converted into electricity, but electricity cannot be converted back into psychic energy through mechanical means, unless high-level psychics are installed like screws, allowing them to continuously absorb electricity at a fixed frequency and convert it into psychic energy.

But that would be such a waste. High-level psionicists have such advanced energy levels. To have them absorb ordinary electricity, then slowly imbue it with spirituality, transform it into psionic energy, and then send it out would be a terrible waste and extremely inefficient. It would be much better to let them generate psionic energy through their daily cultivation.

Therefore, generally speaking, the storage and transmission of psionic signals are handled by a relatively independent signal base station and satellite system that does not interfere with the power system.

If someone within a united regime wanted to obtain psionic power, they should have used a psionic satellite; there should never have been such a large-scale electrical signal surge.

"Could it be that someone has overcome the challenge of converting electricity into psionic energy using technological means? If so, then this attack must be an attack on the united regime by other forces?"

"Furthermore, that force needs to be able to hack into the city's electronic management system beforehand to provide coordinates and receive signals..."

When Tian'er Luohan thought of this, his narrowed eyes widened slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly together.

The United Regime is skilled in gene technology and invests little in the development of machines and prosthetics, while the Eight Leaves are proud of their bionic prosthetics and robotics technology and have a large number of intelligent robot troops.

If the forces attacking the united regime were to use their level of technology to attack the Eight Leaves robot army, Tian'er Luohan would feel a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

"Sigh, just by looking at your expression, I can tell how much more wary the Eight Leaves will be of us after our technical capabilities were exposed this time."

The large screen in the airship's command center suddenly switched to a pixelated cartoon face. The originally pleasant childlike intelligent voice had been altered to a low, hoarse electronic voice, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.

The technicians in the command center frantically tapped on the projection remote control keyboard.

The Heavenly Ear Arhat's eyes suddenly widened, then slowly narrowed again. He turned around with a normal expression, facing the large screen.

He was facing away from the screen just now, so you could observe the changes in his facial expressions unless you hacked into the top-floor surveillance cameras of the tallest buildings in the city-state.

Those high-rise buildings, including all the electronic equipment inside, had already been firmly controlled by the Bhikkhu warriors on the first day that the Eight Leaves entered the city, and their technology had been optimized and their passwords reset.

The ability to control the airship and those locations in an instant also proves that this person can influence the intelligent machine warriors who have just entered the city in the same short period of time.

The Arhat with Heavenly Ears said, "Being wary is inevitable, but the fact that this mysterious gentleman has appeared here after attacking the united regime gives me a sense of friendliness."

"Indeed, it's always better to have more friends than enemies. As long as Hachiyo doesn't have a firm intention to be our enemy, we don't mind extending an olive branch first."

The cartoon face changed slightly, as if it smiled. "My friends are doing everything they can to deliver Dr. Jin Meng to you. And right now, I'm simultaneously speaking with Sukara and the five named Arhats, reminding you that it's time to cross the Burmese Mountains to provide assistance."

The Arhat with Heavenly Ears said, "If we need to take the initiative to provide support, the Dakini will give us a signal."

Despite saying that, Tian'er Luohan still ordered the airship to move north, and the troops that had just completed their defenses in the city also began to assemble in the north.

He knew how much the Eight Leaves Academy valued Dr. Jin Meng this time. If they really needed to take the initiative to help, they would not hesitate to risk the loss of all the Bhikkhu warriors and intelligent troops in the five cities of Myanmar.

This was also a test for him to see if his commands could still be sent out. It seems that the other party has not yet targeted other devices besides the control screen and detection cameras.

Just then, the airship sounded an alarm, and countless hexagonal rays of light spread out from the bow and stern, like pieces of pale yellow crystal, tightly assembled, enveloping the airship, which resembled an elephant-headed ship, in a rugby ball-shaped protective force field.

In the distance, a shadow, initially the size of a pinhead, rapidly enlarged and crashed into the protective shield. This shadow had no arms but two heads.

The Arhat with Heavenly Ears was greatly surprised. He recognized one of the heads as a Dakini and quickly removed the protective shield to catch the person.

The dakini extended silver tentacles from her neck, separating them from Dr. Jinmeng's body, and said, "This person is the creator of the crystal virus. Immediately send this person to meet with Sukhara."

The Arhat with Heavenly Ears cradled the head of the Dakini, and while ordering the airship to turn, he said, "Lord Sukara has arrived in the province of Indra and is currently in the capital, arranging for the defense of the army."

Indra Province was originally the northernmost border town of the Eight Leaves Territory. The five cities of Burma Mountain were temporarily occupied by them, and apart from plundering some people, it was only a slight buffer.

If a full-scale conflict were to break out with the coalition government, that would be the first line of defense that Sukhara had built up.

Four Bhikkhu warriors pushed out two egg-shaped healing pods from the airship. Both were made of silver-white metal and aquamarine crystalline material. One of them was a deep sleep pod, which also had a medical effect on the flesh and blood. The two Bhikkhu warriors put Dr. Jinmeng inside.

After another treatment pod was opened, a humanoid prosthetic body was already lying inside. It had fair skin, long black hair, and was wearing a silver combat suit, but its face was blank and completely flat.

"Lord Sukhara anticipated that your original prosthetic body might be partially damaged, so he gave each of us five a usable prosthetic body, all of which are top-of-the-line new products."

The Arhat with Heavenly Ears personally took charge, drew his golden sword, compared it with the remaining length of the Dakini's neck, and with one swing, chopped off the prosthetic head in the treatment pod.

The golden sword was pulled out, the blank head protruding from its blade. The Sky Mother's head was then placed inside, and the hatch was closed.

Only then did the Arhat with Heavenly Ears have the mind to inquire which member of the united regime had done this to the Dakinis and the others.

"not good!"

Suddenly, the electronic sound in the airship hall let out a sharp whistle, and the loudspeakers seemed to have been damaged by the shock, emitting a loud buzzing sound.

The entire airship suddenly went completely black, and the complete protective shield also dissipated. All the energy was concentrated on a small hexagonal protective plate at the tail of the airship.

The airship's protective structure consists of invisible hexagonal frames constructed using nanoscale energy conduction devices floating around it.

After receiving energy, these conduction devices emit light and fill the empty spaces in the hexagonal frame with high-frequency oscillating energy waves.

The entire airship's built-in energy was enough to fly thousands of miles back and forth and scan and command the entire city. But at this moment, it was all poured into that hexagonal protective plate. That hexagonal light source suddenly became so bright that it could blind the electronic eyes of many Bhikkhu warriors inside the airship.

While the eyes of the monk warriors in the command hall were flashing overload warnings, only the Arhat with Heavenly Ears could barely make out that something had crashed into the hexagonal light source.

Boom!

The immense impact force pierced through the hexagonal protective panels, shattering the entire airship into pieces.

The Heavenly Ear Arhat, the Bhikkhu Warrior, and all the equipment and personnel on the two egg-shaped treatment pods and the airship were all blasted away by the impact.

This was because the cartoon face reacted quickly, seized the airship's energy, and made the most concentrated defense possible.

Otherwise, the object that crashed into the hexagonal light source would have easily blasted through the entire airship, crushing everything in its path, including the Heavenly Ear Arhat and the egg-shaped cabin, into invisible fragments.

The airship exploded into fireworks, and the hexagonal light source naturally went out in an instant.

The object that collided with the hexagonal light source—Leopold—was also decelerated by the reaction force and fell from where the light source disappeared.

He smashed a small crater in the street, his whole body covered in the acrid smell of burning smoke from the high-temperature friction.

The bionic skin has completely disappeared, leaving only the amber-colored Martian alloy inside, making it look like an amber-colored bodybuilding statue.

However, there are several deep, intersecting knife marks on the forehead and chest of this statue.

In particular, there was a slit that cut diagonally from the right side of the lower abdomen to the left shoulder, a full finger's width, through which the condition inside the torso could be clearly seen. Those translucent, gelatinous bionic organs were completely shattered.

A blue, cooling liquid, which has excellent conductivity for psychic energy, is flowing out from several cracks in his chest.

"Damn it..."

The damage to his prosthetic body made his voice sound like a broken bellows, accompanied by a lot of noisy breathing. "I was just a little bit slower."

Leopold was certain that when Guan Luoyang received the blade and slashed out, the intent of the blade was not yet truly pure. However, as the blade rubbed against his body, it was honed into an extremely sharp blade without any impurities.

His vast spiritual energy, electrical enhancement, and all the potential contained within his spiritual energy were cleaved apart by that single strike, like water cut off, and it was difficult to mend the wound for a time.

As a result, he was met with a series of slashes.

With seven consecutive cuts, he was sent flying from the northern part of the Burmese mountain range across the mountains to the southern city-state.

Leopold stood up, clenched his fists, raised his arms high, and let out a silent roar, trying to gather the fragmented psionic energy in his body.

"You actually lost!!"

An electronic voice suddenly rang out from all around, multiple sound sources, high and low, surrounding all directions, "Complete and accurate soul data, plus the spiritual energy I converted for you using the city's electricity, and you still lost, you shouldn't have any illusions."

"Send Jin Meng away, stop fighting!"

The electronic sound channels are adjusted to combine and form the original sound of "Jiushan," which is husky, magnetic, and extremely sincere.

"I'll buy you some time. What you need to do now is send Jinmeng to Indra. Once you get there, you can consider yourself to have won."

"Strategic victory is far more important than the success or failure of individual battles."

"I'm not a child, I don't need this kind of coaxing and comforting."

Leopold calmed down, his emotions hidden beneath a calm surface, and thought, "Where is the Golden Dream?"

Just as he turned around and became a blur, following Jiushan's navigation to find Jinmeng.

In the northern part of the city of Burma, intelligent combat robots from the Eight Leaves have risen into the sky like golden auspicious clouds, flying from the streets.

These intelligent combat robots, despite having the word "human" in their name, are not all humanoid.

The fastest batch in the air force, in particular, was named the "Divine Realm Perfect Enlightenment Golden Plate".

Throughout the ten directions and countless realms, holding this perfect enlightenment allows one to traverse them without hindrance.

This golden disc is shaped like a golden flying saucer, but it is only about one meter in diameter.

These flying saucers have sixteen jet nozzles evenly distributed along their edges, capable of turning and cutting through the air at up to ten times the speed of sound.

The intelligent program inside the flying saucer can connect with the city's radar detection system every second to ensure that it is always locked onto enemy targets and will not accidentally damage its own side during high-speed attacks.

The so-called "unimpeded passage through the ten directions" actually refers to the mountain lords and arhats of the Eight Leaves Temple. As long as they lead such an intelligent force, they can cut off and shred anything that blocks their way. No matter how tall the buildings or how powerful the warships and chariots are, they cannot hinder their progress.

Surrounded by a golden disc, riding the wind, this was the demeanor of the great Arhat practitioner bestowed with the name within the Eight Leaves Temple.

After "Nine Mountains" invaded these intelligent programs, it became even more secure than when the Heavenly Ear Arhat personally controlled them.

Because of its speed, the golden disc could not be seen in the sky. Instead, thin golden lines rose from the city, dense and flowing, piercing towards a figure that had drifted into the city.

Guan Luoyang, holding a long sword, floated in the air. With just a lift of his free left hand, the many Perfect Enlightenment Golden Discs slowed down, bound by gravity, and revealed their true forms.

Boom!

Lightning bolts, like countless branches, burst forth from his palm, striking numerous golden flying saucers and destroying their intelligent programs.

However, these golden flying saucers have their own electromagnetic protection system. Apart from being remotely controlled via a specific frequency, other strong current attacks will simply slice through them without affecting the intelligent program inside.

As the flying saucers swayed and trembled amidst the electric current, yet none of them crashed, another, imperceptible attack had already arrived in the vicinity.

Those were golden Buddha statues, each ten meters tall, with halos hanging behind their backs, three heads, six arms, and standing tall, among the ground troops.

They all sit cross-legged and don't fly very high because only Buddha statues in this cross-legged posture have enough space to accommodate the internal bipolar magnetic field reversal engine.

Invisible electromagnetic waves emanated from their six arms, spreading out in all directions from the enormous Buddha statues, collectively creating a massive force field that enveloped Guan Luoyang and the golden flying saucers.

At the instant the magnetic poles reversed, the high-voltage currents throughout the city converged out of thin air, forming two enormous lightning balls, one above the other.

The one above is bright silver-white, while the one below is slightly reddish.

The two lightning orbs were each larger than a typical high-rise building. Guan Luoyang was positioned between them, surrounded by free electrons that enveloped him within the bridge connecting the two softballs.

A burst of intense light erupted as the two giant lightning orbs collided, leaving him with no way to avoid them.

The city lost power, and the sunset lost its brilliance.

At this moment, nothing in the world could be more dazzling than the intense light produced by the collision of the two great lightning orbs.

However, Jiushan did not relax at all.

Even at this level, it wouldn't be able to hurt Leopold in his full form, let alone the person who just defeated Leopold.

Just as the lightning orb burst into light, many monk warriors in the city remotely pushed up two devices as tall as the buildings.

The front of these two cuboid devices is covered with countless holes, and as soon as they are erected, all the holes glow slightly.

Each device contained 50,000 missiles, totaling 100,000 missiles equipped with tracking programs, which were ejected from the holes under electromagnetic effects.

The missiles traced arcs in the air, following the tracking program's set targets, concentrating their power as much as possible on Guan Luoyang's location, focusing their force on that small area.

Just as 100,000 missiles approached like long dragons, the brilliant light seemed to be swallowed by something inside.

The ball of light, which was initially expanding outwards, suddenly began to spin and contract.

Guan Luoyang's figure reappeared, his left hand raised in front of him, holding a huge vortex. Suddenly, he clenched his five fingers together and swung them through the middle of the vortex, transforming it into a huge blade of light.

"Is it because they're machines that you have such courage?"

"Alright, anyway, I said a few hours ago that I would come back to visit."

The light blade swept across a fan-shaped area, causing 100,000 missiles to pause for a moment before exploding into fireworks.

Two enormous structures, as tall as the building, were severed and slid down at an angle.

Guan Luoyang landed on the ground, crushing a huge three-headed, six-armed Buddha statue, and dragged his sword forward.
