My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1085 Future Weapons VS Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect
"Fellow Daoists, be careful!"

Guang Chengzi let out a low shout, and with a flick of his sleeve, his Taoist robe suddenly shone with purple light. Purple runes flew out from the robe and condensed into a shield in front of him, forcefully blocking the first wave of energy beams.

This Taoist robe has a remarkable history. It was a precious garment bestowed upon him by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. In other words, it was called the "Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe." Guang Chengzi once wore the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe when he entered the Golden Light Array. He opened the robe and wrapped it around his head, so that the golden light emitted by the Golden Light Holy Mother could not penetrate it. It was specifically designed to suppress high-energy light-based supernatural powers.

Five hundred miles outside the city of the Demon Alliance is the city's air defense perimeter. Once a hostile immortal steps into it, the air defense system will be automatically triggered, locking onto the enemy and launching a fierce attack.

In fact, these immortals of the Chan Sect had already revealed their whereabouts. After Wen Rui released Yun Zhongzi, he immediately ordered Jarvis to mobilize all the reconnaissance satellites of the Demon Alliance in outer space, and countless high-definition scanning lenses were pointed at Kunlun Mountain.

These immortals possessed extremely high spiritual attainments; they could sense any hostile gaze directed at them, or even just a hint of hostility or evil thought.

However, the Skynet system controlled by Jarvis, as an artificial intelligence life form, is very different from ordinary beings. Hostility and evil thoughts are a string of code in Skynet's thought logic, and it is difficult for high-level immortals to recognize them, whether it is spying, investigation or recording.

The outermost weapon of the anti-aircraft circle is a high-energy cosmic ray emission tower. The blue beams it emits are the same type as the Moth Witch's innate supernatural power, and they have considerable destructive power against the indestructible golden body of a Golden Immortal.

As a mass-produced air defense weapon, the high-energy cosmic ray launcher is actually too weak against Golden Immortals; it can only inflict damage and restraint, and it is difficult to kill them in one blow.

Throughout the Three Realms, there are only a handful of magical treasures and immortal weapons capable of killing a Golden Immortal in a single blow. The fact that Wen Rui's mass-produced technological weapon, crafted from mortal materials, could even injure a Golden Immortal is already an extremely cost-effective achievement.

Another advantage of using beam weapons as the main air defense weapon is that they have low launch costs and are less likely to cause collateral damage or disrupt the environment around the city.

If it were replaced with an anti-aircraft missile, even a nuclear missile with a yield of tens of millions of tons wouldn't be able to kill Jin Xian; on the contrary, the aftershocks of the nuclear explosion would destroy cities 500 miles away.

Whether a beam weapon hits its target or misses, its energy is highly focused, so its power does not dissipate beyond the target and affect the surrounding area.

The cosmic ray tower hidden underground shot countless dark blue beams of light at the four immortals in the air. The dense beams of light intertwined to form a large net. Guang Chengzi, who had been holding up his Bagua Immortal Robe shield, was starting to find it difficult to defend himself, and his immortal power was being consumed very quickly.

Chi Jingzi quickly took out the Yin-Yang Mirror. As the mirror flipped, it protected the immortal Guang Chengzi. The beam of light that attacked hit the Yin-Yang Mirror and was reflected back to the ground along the same path, hitting the base of the metal tower and causing sparks to fly everywhere.

Master Huanglong, wielding a precious sword, moved with lightning speed. His sword energy cleaved through the ground, creating deep furrows, causing soil and rocks to churn, trees to fall, and several launch towers in his path to snap in two.

"The remnants of the Jie Sect have set up a defensive formation for the city. The formation is quite powerful. If we hadn't been prepared in advance and had prepared defensive magic treasures, even an ordinary Golden Immortal would have had a hard time escaping unscathed if he had entered this formation."

Chi Jingzi and Huanglong Zhenren joined forces to provide support, destroying a large number of anti-aircraft towers below. Guang Chengzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, dispelled the shield erected by his Bagua Immortal Robe, and said with lingering fear, "No wonder the demons and monsters in the mortal realm are so ruthless, yet the Heavenly Court has not punished them or sent troops to punish them. With such a city-protecting killing formation, even if 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals descended to the mortal realm, they would all be annihilated under the barrage of those strange beams of light."

During the two hundred years of Wen Rui's rise to power, he had never left Kunlun Mountain. Little did he know that even 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were no match for a single martial arts puppet hammer from Wen Rui, and had long since become a unit of measurement representing the passing grade of combat strength. Only those who could single-handedly fight 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals could be considered to have reached the entry threshold of "strongmen" in the Three Realms; otherwise, they could only be considered minor figures.

Of course, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals have long since retired and become Wen Rui's personal mining labor force, whose daily work is to go to the Realm of Form to mine heavenly resources.

This is because the Demon Alliance has taken over the law enforcement authority in the mortal realm. When demons cause trouble, the local police station can suppress them with just two officers. Why would the Heavenly Court need to send down 100,000 useless people to cause trouble?

As for the Blood Sea Demon Insect Clan, which is still being raised by Wen Rui to maintain its prestige, its elite martial arts demon insects are capable of defeating 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals with a single one, so there is no need for these useless people to descend to the mortal realm to die.

The ground-based air defense positions had been destroyed by several Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and there were no more high-energy cosmic rays to hinder them. Just as the immortals were about to ride the clouds to the city where they could already see the twinkling lights in the distance, they saw dozens of large triangular flying shuttles flying towards them from the direction of the city with a whooshing sound, like a dense flock of birds.

Those triangular aircraft were entirely black, resembling swooping eagles. Their internal bomb bays were open, and rotating racks inside flipped up and down, spewing out exhaust plumes from the missiles they carried as they hurtled toward the four people.

This is the second line of air defense system of the Demon Alliance city: a formation of unmanned interceptors. These large drones are the advanced version of the Sword 20 flying sword developed by Wen Rui back then—the Sword 50.

The Sword 50 uses a three-engine configuration consisting of a dual anti-gravity engine and a warp drive, giving it far superior maneuverability and speed compared to the Sword 20. It also boasts a larger magazine capacity, a comprehensively upgraded ammunition configuration, and a more advanced consciousness-shielding coating.

"What's coming? A flying axe? A flying shuttle? Everyone be careful!"

Guang Chengzi had no idea what a high-tech drone was. He only felt that its appearance alone was full of mysterious power. Although he didn't understand it, he felt it was powerful and knew it would be difficult to deal with.

Before the words were even finished, the missiles launched by the drone formation drew all sorts of unpredictable curves like a swarm of living insects, enveloping the four Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect from all directions.

The missiles equipped on the Sword 50 employ a Weierstrass function trajectory, which is a flight path that is "continuous everywhere but not differentiable everywhere".

Only an aircraft equipped with an anti-gravity engine could perform such super aerial maneuvers that would turn Newton's coffin upside down.

For a moment, all the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect felt surrounded by flowing light, their eyes dazzled. Even if they tried to calculate with their fingers, they could not predict when those twisting and turning fireflies would sneak in from an unbelievable angle.

Unable to calculate the trajectory of the attacking shuttle, they used their divine sense to try to lock onto it, intending to use their extraordinary keen insight to release flying swords to cut it down.

However, under the scan of divine sense, the shuttle that could be seen with the naked eye seemed to be empty, while the blank space that could not be seen showed strong reflections of divine sense, just like turning on a radar but finding that the screen was full of static.
