Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Zongfang's eyes suddenly flashed with bright light, like a meteor suddenly streaking across the night sky, and his originally heavy heart was instantly ignited with a glimmer of hope.

At the same time, Zhao Ming skillfully and swiftly assembled the various components of the Spycium Explosive Gun. Then, with lightning speed, he knelt on one knee, leaned forward, and gripped the gun tightly with both hands, keeping it firmly on the ground.

At this moment, the black muzzle of the gun was like the mouth of a dormant beast, aiming squarely at the monster in front of it with bared fangs and claws.

The muzzle of the weapon slowly began to gather an extremely powerful stream of positive and negative energy. The light grew increasingly dazzling, and the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the pressure of such a powerful force, being electrocuted and separated, emitting a continuous, slight but clearly audible crackling sound.

There was a deafening sound - "Boom!" A colorful spark-shaped energy ray, like a roaring dragon breaking free from its restraints, gushed out from the muzzle with endless power and rushed straight towards the monster in the distance.

When the giant dragon, composed of pure energy, slammed into the monster's body, it pierced through its impenetrable protective shell. The monster immediately let out a heart-wrenching howl of pain that echoed throughout the sky.

However, the ferocious monster did not surrender. It endured the severe pain, opened its bloody mouth, and suddenly spit out a lightning bolt as big as a mountain, whistling straight towards Zhao Ming.

In a flash, Zhao Ming unleashed his new magic trick—the Phantom Magic Clone Technique. In an instant, several figures identical to Zhao Ming appeared in the same place, instantly deflecting the monster's attack.

Before the monster could react, Zhao Ming quickly adjusted his posture and decisively pulled the trigger of the Spacium Explosive Gun again.

This time, the deadly energy ray seemed to have eyes, and hit the most critical part of the monster's head with incredible precision.

After suffering such a severe blow, the monster could no longer support its huge body. With a dull thud, it fell to the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust that covered the sky.

At this moment, a burst of warm cheers broke out in the crowd. Everyone waved their hands excitedly, their faces filled with joy.

Zong Fang walked quickly to Zhao Ming, patted his shoulder vigorously, and praised him with a smile: "Well done, Zhao Ming!

Then, Zong Fang looked curiously at the strange-looking weapon in Zhao Ming's hand and asked doubtfully, "Is this another new gadget invented by your director? It looks like a miniaturized version of the Spacium Cannon."

Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, then began to explain the weapon to Zong Fang in detail: "Yes, it's called the 'Spiceum Explosion Gun'. Dr. Jiancun carefully crafted it using the memory metal used by those small robots he had recovered before.

Don't underestimate its small size, but its power cannot be underestimated! This gun can effectively penetrate the key parts of some monsters and give them a fatal blow!

This thing is still in the testing phase, and Dr. Jiancun probably wants me to take it for a real-world test first to see how effective it is and what areas need improvement and refinement."

Upon hearing this, Dagu and Jujing could no longer suppress their curiosity and hurried over. They snatched the Spyceum Explosive Gun from Zhao Ming's hands, carefully holding it in their hands as if it were a rare treasure, and examined it carefully.

"What a pity! Due to the limitations of materials and energy, this explosive gun must be used at intervals. It can only fire two shots within a certain period of time. Otherwise, the memory metal will be severely damaged and it will be difficult to recover." Zhao Ming sighed.

"Being able to inflict such massive penetrating damage on a monster is already quite impressive!" Dijing weighed it a few times and said in amazement, "Wow, this thing looks small and exquisite, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy!"

Dagu standing by was like a child, unable to suppress his curiosity, reaching out his hands to touch here and there.

"Don't touch around! Be careful not to break it!" Jujing said hurriedly when he saw this. He quickly reached out and hit the hands that were groping around.

Shinjo caught a glimpse of a Spacium ray emanating from the ground, knocking the monster to the ground. Curiously, he asked over the comms, "Commander, what was going on just now? The Spacium ray emitted by the Atlantis didn't look like this!"

Zong Fang immediately explained the matter, saying that this was a new gadget developed by the Research Bureau and was used for testing.

This insect-like monster did not die after suffering a heavy blow to the head. Instead, it stood up tremblingly on the ground, and then slowly crawled back to the hole it had drilled out of like a snail, and began to recuperate!

"Commander, why don't we launch a concentrated attack from a high altitude? The monster has just suffered a serious injury and is now unable to move. We can't let it continue to recuperate!" Xincheng said anxiously in the communication.

Seeing this, Zongfang quickly raised his binoculars and stared at the monster ahead, which had been injured and had burrowed into the mountain. He said solemnly, "Let's hold our attack for now. Now isn't the best time to launch a full-scale assault. We're really stretched to our limits with our current strength!"

As the order was issued, all firepower on the ground stopped firing. The monsters also temporarily stopped moving and entered a dormant state!

"Deputy Captain, can the Victory Team return to the headquarters first?" Iruma Hui asked Souma for his opinion in the communication. As the commander of the Victory Team, the orders she issued must take into account the actual situation of the combatants at the front.

"Everyone? The monsters seem to be relatively calm at the moment, but it would be better if some people stayed behind." Zongfang was a little worried that the monsters would start moving again after the entire Victory Team evacuated.

"Command, it has been detected that the monster's output power has decreased. It should be in the process of self-cultivation and will not be active in the short term." Ye Rui said in the communication.

"The Lightning Man annihilation campaign is about to begin. TPC's ground support forces have already set out and will soon join the fight," the captain continued.

"I understand. We also need to replenish energy. Let's go back now." Zong Fang said in the communication. He nodded to everyone at the scene and led the victory team back to the base.

On the way back to the base, the nearby roads had been blocked by the police station to allow the passage of various artillery and tanks with TPC logos, which were heading towards the residential area where the monster was.

"At the meeting of the General Staff Headquarters, the operational plan for the Lightning Man annihilation war has been unanimously approved!" In the command room, everyone gathered around the conference table, and the captain began to convey the order.

"That's great, just wait and see, Lightning Man!" Xincheng excitedly slammed the table and stood up.

"Yes, they are always overhead. Maybe the aircraft and communication facilities somewhere in the world are interfered with by unknown reasons, leading to the plane crash!" Jujing finally gave up his fantasy and resolutely went into battle with them.

"Wait a minute!" Lina stared at the excited Xincheng and Jujing, and said earnestly, "The reason why Lightning Man turned into a monster is because of the large amount of electromagnetic waves generated by humans."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Xincheng asked with a suspicious look on his face. Does this kind of thing need to be considered over and over again?

"Lina, why are you still indulging in fantasy?" Dagu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "The life form of lightning people determines that they cannot coexist harmoniously with humans, and our mission is to protect humans. You have to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and stop thinking about unnecessary things!"

Lina took a deep breath and said solemnly, "However, if we simply exterminate the Lightning People, more similar creatures will inevitably mutate into monsters due to human actions. This is undoubtedly a terrible vicious cycle. We cannot just focus on the battle at hand."

"Survival of the fittest, this natural law is eternal! My teacher and I once tried to communicate with the Lightning Man. The first contact ended with him being swallowed by the monster, and the second contact almost made me become Gazot's meal!" Jujing lowered his head and said in great pain.

"What everyone said makes sense, but we must face our current situation. Now is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary measures must be taken! Since we are shouldering the responsibility of protecting mankind from foreign enemies, then we should fight to the end." Zongfang said with a firm face.

"Okay, the Lightning Man operation has begun. The Atlantis will set off in two hours." Iruma Hui began to issue the battle plan in an orderly manner.

"It would be great if there was another Atlantis!" Xincheng sighed with regret.

"Even if there is one more, it must not be driven into residential areas to bombard them, right?" She looked at the new city with a solemn face. The director had already issued a clear order prohibiting the firing of large-caliber beam cannons at the ground.

Seeing the captain's sharp eyes, Xincheng hurriedly pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"That's the order. The Lightning Man annihilation campaign will proceed as planned. Team members Dijing, Lina, and Shinjo will participate. The vice-captain will command the TPC ground forces to resist the monster, and Team Daigu will provide reinforcements.

Besides," she said, turning her gaze to Ye Rui: "Team member Ye Rui, can you set off?"

"But...I can!" Ye Rui said with a surge of emotion. He could no longer hold back and didn't want to be confined in the command room forever.

"Since there is no problem, let's set off immediately!"

"Understood!" After receiving the order, everyone immediately split up. Shinjo and his two companions rushed to the hangar to join the members of the Flash Man Campaign, while Munakata led Nori in the Draum car, speeding towards the monster's enclave.

At the ground combat scene, this was the first time that Ye Rui walked out of the command room and officially joined the front battlefield. As soon as he got off the car, he looked at the armored vehicles and tanks speeding past in front of him, as well as the various firepower deployed, and he was immediately fascinated!

Don't boys or men like things like airplanes, battleships, cannons, tanks, and guns? Even after adulthood, normal men will not focus on chasing stars, but will continue to pay attention to these things.

"Oh my God!" Ye Rui stared at the neatly arranged tanks in front of him and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

"Hey! Brother, did I scare you back to your normal size?" Zhao Ming walked over with a box and patted his shoulder and said.

"Zhao Ming, where did you come from? Why didn't I see you during the meeting?" Ye Rui asked in confusion.

"I'm not from your Victory Team, and..." Zhao Ming raised the box high in his hand as if it were a rare treasure, and said, "You have your combat missions, and I have my mission of testing equipment."

Taking advantage of this truce, he took the explosive gun that had already fired twice back to show it to Dr. Jiancun, and replaced it with a brand new one.

She also wanted to take advantage of the monsters to let him, the free laborer, test a few more times, and Zhao Ming also wanted to have more fun on the scene. The two of them were like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai - one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten.

"Having so much equipment is like taking a reassurance pill." Nori looked at Zongfang and said.

Yes!" Zongfang said with an expression as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"But what if these are not enough?" Ye Rui continued to ask.

"That's going to be a big trouble!" Zong Fang's expression was still calm, as if the sky falling had nothing to do with him.

"Can you tell me specifically what the trouble is?" Newcomers who have just entered the battlefield are all so cautious.

"Little brother!" Zhao Ming strode up to Ye Rui and said earnestly, "There's an idiom called 'a hundred precautions can lead to a loophole', which means man proposes, God disposes!

Monsters are inherently beyond common sense, so overthinking is futile. Think about all the times we've fought monsters, and each time, wasn't it always Tiga or Ryukendou who saved the day?

"Zhao Ming is right." Zong Fang said lightly. It is too difficult to deal with these monsters that go against common sense with only these human equipment.

After saying that, he pressed the communication button on his helmet: "Dagu, follow the original plan. The battle will begin in 20 minutes!"

"Understood, I will be there in 10 minutes." In the hangar, Da Gu was driving the Feiyan No. 1 ready to take off.

As Feiyan No. 1 soared out of the base like a bird and soared into the blue sky, the giant Atlantis also spread its wings and flew into the sky like a Kunpeng, with the two Feiyan No. 2s following closely behind.

They will join hands with powerful fighters from TPC branches around the world to weave an indestructible firepower network and launch a thunderous attack on the Lightning Man's lair.

Dagu drove the Feiyan No. 1 at lightning speed to the sky above the battlefield, hovering above the monster's head like a circling bird. The monster Qiao Bailie's entire body was curled up in the mountain, like a longicorn with its head hidden and its tail exposed.

"Once the monster starts moving, radio communications will become a mess. At that time, we can only use flares to transmit information." After Zong Fang finished speaking, he looked at Ye Rui with a sharp gaze.

"Yes!" Ye Rui immediately returned to the Dram car and began to make intensive preparations.

"All team members, the battle begins!" Zong Fang made a quick decision, pressed the communication button on the helmet, and issued the attack order.
