Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 192 Shen Sha breaches the waters, launching a surprise attack halfway across! (Part 2)

Without any hesitation, Huo Yuhao extended the grappling hook in his hand and precisely hooked it onto a tree branch closest to the river. Huo Yuhao swung up like a swing, and the high-speed impact sent him flying more than twenty meters.

In mid-air, Huo Yuhao spun around, flying towards the great river in front of him.

As Huo Yuhao approached the great river, he realized that his estimate of its width was incorrect; the river was at least seventy meters wide!

The purple second spirit ring beneath his feet lit up again, and a fierce gust of wind blew from behind Huo Yuhao, forcefully pushing him forward another twenty meters before he landed heavily in the center of the river.

Without any hesitation, Huo Yuhao plunged into the river and swam with all his might. The current was rapid, with wave after wave. Each wave looked low, the lowest being no more than half a meter and the highest no more than a meter. But how much of a person's body could be visible in the river?

A wave crashes over you, and the person who thought they had plenty of strength suddenly loses their spirit. After struggling to climb out of the wave, several more waves come crashing over you, and it's uncertain whether they can even stand up straight again.

But this had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao. At this moment, he had already dived to a depth of more than twenty meters underwater and was swimming vigorously towards the other side of the river.

Although the undercurrents at the bottom of the river were also surging, fortunately, Huo Yuhao had already switched his martial soul to the second one. Under his mental detection, those undercurrents that were not easy to detect were clearly visible to Huo Yuhao!

Those swirling, powerful currents, seemingly calm but actually capable of grabbing onto anything and dragging it into the water, swept past Huo Yuhao time and time again, yet none of them could truly grasp his body. Huo Yuhao was like a fish swimming in a river, incredibly agile, darting swiftly through the water.

Even Huo Yuhao himself found it unbelievable that he had crossed a river at least seventy meters wide in just half a minute. However, Huo Yuhao could not let his guard down yet; it was not time to rest.

Using both hands and feet, Huo Yuhao climbed up the haphazardly growing bushes along the riverbank. His body was covered in blood from the cuts and scratches, but he didn't utter a sound. Standing on these thorny bushes, Huo Yuhao found a series of footholds, leaped up and down from several bushes, and finally crossed the riverside bush area.

The reason why Huo Yuhao was not blocked by the bushes on the opposite bank when he rushed into the river was because he used the grappling hook to fly directly into the river. The two Soul Kings who wanted to catch Huo Yuhao would face a more troublesome challenge than Huo Yuhao, such as two giant thorn bushes along the river that are 20 meters wide.

I took out a bandage and wrapped it haphazardly around my hands to try and stop the bleeding from my palms. As for disinfection to prevent subsequent infection and suppuration, that's something for later.

Clenching his fists tightly, Huo Yuhao felt the excruciating pain from his wounds. The fatigue from his frantic run was temporarily suppressed. Although Huo Yuhao's mental detection couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the two people behind him, he was certain that the maximum distance between him and them wouldn't exceed 500 meters!

Huo Yuhao has no more than one minute to make arrangements, and the battle time cannot exceed three minutes, otherwise they will have to rejoin the second pursuit team!

It only took Huo Yuhao about ten seconds to wrap the palms of his hands with bandages. Looking at the two dark figures that were vaguely moving on the hillside in the distance, a ruthless glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

I'm done for!

Huo Yuhao's hands brushed against the storage soul tool, and a series of loud metallic clicks resounded from his body. A large number of metal tubes jumped out from Huo Yuhao's hands, forming a cannon barrel that gleamed with a cold metallic light. Immediately afterwards, a set of triangular metal supports popped out and slammed firmly into the ground with a clang.

While deploying and installing the fixed-mount soul-guided mortar, Huo Yuhao also opened his vertical pupils, calculating his distance from the center of the riverbank without stopping.

Calculating shooting parameters is a compulsory course in the extreme individual soldier program. Even though Shrek Academy's mathematical level is somewhat behind that of the Sun Moon Empire, it is not that they know nothing. They still have many elementary mathematical tools.

Distance division, trigonometric functions, elevation difference, wind speed, wind direction, and even the rotation of a fixed shell—these are all part of calculating firing parameters. Although Huo Yuhao hasn't studied them for long, he has mental detection abilities!

In ten seconds, Huo Yuhao completed the installation and positioning of the first fixed-mount soul-guided mortar, and at the same time completed the adjustment of the distance division in microseconds.

Ten seconds later, the two agility-type Soul Kings appeared on the opposite bank of the river in the giant thorny bushes. Huo Yuhao ignored the temperature and wind speed and began to adjust his direction.

Ten seconds later, without time to check the elevation correction diagram or accurately adjust the firing distance, Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to roughly determine the trajectory of the shell and made minor adjustments before inserting a fixed soul-guided shell into the muzzle.

At this moment, the two Soul Kings had already rushed to a position close to the center of the river. This was Huo Yuhao's last chance!

"Pop—"

A muffled thud was heard as the first fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell landed precisely in the middle of the river. Huo Yuhao did not continue to adjust the cannon parameters. The fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell had a kill radius of more than fifty meters. It was enough that the first shot was accurate!

"call out------"

A sharp and strange whistling sound came from the other side of the river. The two soul masters who had already swum halfway felt something was wrong, especially the mercenary from the settlement who had come to kill Huo Yuhao. He had been on the battlefield back then, and this voice was very familiar to him!

"It's a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell, damn it!!!"

The man let out a terrified scream, a sharp sound that seemed to slam into other people's eardrums, and hurriedly dove towards the bottom of the river, but it was too late.

A deafening explosion rang out. The energy released by the fixed-position soul-guided shell instantly heated the surrounding air to an extremely high temperature, forming a huge fireball. At the center of the fireball, the light was dazzling, like the blazing sun in the sky. Even Huo Yuhao dared not look directly at it, for fear of burning his eyes.

The surrounding air was instantly heated and expanded rapidly, forming a powerful shock wave, as if an invisible wall was pressing down in all directions. The heat wave from the explosion rolled in, bursting out with unprecedented heat.

As the aftershocks of the explosion engulfed everything around it, the massive fireball instantly illuminating the entire river surface as if it were daytime. The water droplets evaporated instantly under the high temperature, forming a huge column of water that shot straight into the sky.

Huo Yuhao took out a soul-guided ray gun and fired several shots at the fixed soul-guided mortar, turning it into scrap metal. A cold look appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Come on, come on, let's see who the real winner is in this battle royale.
