Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 886: 546, Stone Buddha Li Bingxi

Located 1200 kilometers southwest of the A02 military base, within the 8841-acre military restricted area of the Federal Third Group Army.

This place resembles a giant ant nest, with soldiers bustling about like worker ants and soldier ants.

The shoulder patches of these soldiers do not bear the Federal Group Army emblem, but rather the snow mountain emblem of the Jindai family.

This is the elite unit of the Jindai Consortium, the true crème de la crème.

Thousands of soldiers, carrying their personal gear, quickly assembled towards the flight area, all aircrafts’ turbojet engines on low-speed standby, the wind sweeping the snow away like waves.

The soldiers wore lightweight exoskeleton alloy armor, these exoskeleton armors were relatively simplistic but enough to give an ordinary soldier the speed and strength of a D-Class Gene Warrior.

Thus, an ordinary soldier could effortlessly carry the ammunition box of the main firepower gun over mountains and valleys.

Soldiers leapt as if they were on a low-gravity planet like the moon.

This mass-produced mechanical individual equipment was gradually becoming mainstream on the frontline, with lower costs than Genetic Potions.

At this moment, the engineering units were working overtime, replacing the air-to-air weapons on all the floating ships.

One-person long rocket guns were being mounted on the left and right sides of the floating ships.

In the communications system of the tower, someone calmly directed, “L989, clear the runway, repeat, L989, clear the runway. First combat escort squadron, prepare to take off, ascend to five thousand meters after take-off. 3, 2, 1! Launch!”

As they spoke, in one corner of the flight area, 12 “Takamagahara-27” fighters rushed into the sky from the electromagnetic catapult runway.

With a roar, the 12 Takamagahara fighters instantly broke the sound barrier.

Unlike the airplane runways in the Outer World, this electromagnetic catapult runway was only thirty meters, and the fighters did not need to accelerate on their own to complete the initial acceleration.

In the tower communication channel, someone spoke coldly, “The first combat escort squadron has ascended to a safe altitude, commence cruising mode.”

“Second fleet, take off!”

As soon as the words fell, all soldiers wearing exoskeleton alloy armor rushed onto floating ships.

On the bridges of the floating ships, the crew reported loudly, “Power compartment normal! Pressure compartment normal! Main turbo engines normal! Secondary turbo engines normal!”

“Request to retract gravity anchor, prepare for lift-off.”

“Permission to lift-off granted!”

In the next instant, more than three hundred B-Class floating ships escorted 13 A-Class floating ships, swiftly ascending together and inclining towards the north.

The firepower compartments of the 13 A-Class floating ships were equipped with “Susano’s Man” missiles, one of which was sufficient to destroy everything within dozens of miles.

Their goal was to kill all threatening creatures in the northern airspace and destroy all ground creatures with human life signs.

At this moment, in the command center of the tower, a lieutenant general turned off the holographic screens in front of him.

The chief of staff dressed in a black military uniform behind him suddenly said, “With indiscriminate attacks, if that old ancestor survives, you and I will die. Sir, keep a way out for yourself!”

“I obey the orders of the Family Head, you know the consequences of defying military orders, do you want to stand trial in a military court?” The lieutenant general glanced back at him, “Moreover, even a demigod cannot survive in this kind of firepower. In one day, killing five demigods of the Federation, making sure the Federation won’t have such monsters for the next twenty years. Our battle number and this unit will be immortalized in history.”

In the sky above the military restricted area, the fleet with flashing brilliant signal lights was as magnificent as a nebula.

…

…

On the snowfield.

“To protect a younger generation, knowing it’s a trap, and still walk in, is it worth it?” Li Bingxi approached slowly.

As they entered the battlefield, every step he took melted the snow beneath him, the temperature of his surging qi blood affecting the outside world.

With each step, his battle intent rose one more degree.

At the level of a demigod, mental willpower is no longer an intangible legend.

The ancient words spoken by the gods, “When disasters strike, mental willpower is humanity’s primary weapon in facing danger.”

Mental willpower is the source of human strength in the Inner World.

At the demigod level, individual mental willpower begins to merge with the world, the higher the fusion, the stronger the demigod’s combat power.

However, it is also said that when the fusion of an individual’s mental willpower with the world exceeds 70%, it begins to assimilate with the world, turning the body into dust and the consciousness into part of the world, imprisoned in the sky.

This is a form of death.

Legend has it that in the late period of human civilization’s previous era, demigod Li Shentan died this way.

In fact, all demigods’ practice is to explore the boundary of mental willpower merging with the world, trying to find that enigmatic 69%, while fearing they might transcend 70%.

In this world, there is no ascension, no celestial realm, mortals need to play against the world.

Qing Chen heard of Li Bingxi, to be precise, “Stone Buddha Li Bingxi.”

It is said that this man entered the demigod realm at age 37, the night before becoming a demigod, the Li Family dispatched eight experts to assassinate him in city no.25, all eight experts were killed in the lakeside courtyard of city no.25, while Li Bingxi remained unscathed.

Li Bingxi didn’t have many encounters, he was the stabilizing force of the Deer Island family, unless something extraordinary happened, he would never leave city no.25.

He has never been defeated in his life, hence the nickname Stone Buddha.

Initially, it was a term of respect, gradually it turned derogatory because his son was killed, yet he still refused to leave city no.25 to seek revenge.

So, everyone understood that this Stone Buddha was particularly cherishing his life.

Li Bingxi arrived at the battlefield, he looked at the surrounded Li Dong, Qing Chen, and Jindai Yunzi, and frowned, saying, “Being a demigod, what else is worth your life? Eight years in prison and still haven’t learned to cultivate your mind?”

Li Dong laughed, “No wonder when your son was killed, you didn’t avenge him. Back then, when challenging each of you demigods, only Chen Chuanzhi had the guts to come forth, while you and that old turtle from the Jindai family hid in your respective cities, avoiding confrontation. Now teaming up to kill me, must be somewhat assured of success?”

Only at this moment did Qing Chen realize that when his master entered the demigod realm, he didn’t just challenge Chen Chuanzhi… but intended to challenge all demigods in the world!

However, Li Bingxi and Jindai Chika dared not accept the challenge.

Why was his master so fierce?

Wait, Qing Chen suddenly understood, just like he confronted the chosen ones of the Mysterious Business Department head-on after advancing to B-Class.

His master, Li Dong, wanted to find out his position in the demigod food chain.

Who knew, this newly ascended demigod stood at the top of the food chain…

Stone Buddha Li Bingxi wasn’t angry upon hearing this, as if truly imbued with otherworldly serene Buddha aura, “Now trapped here, two demigods personally killing you, don’t you feel any regret? This might be the price of recklessness.”

Li Dong laughed, “There are things you don’t understand, the old turtle used my only disciple to set a trap, if anything happens to him, I will kill every member of the Jindai family. After this battle, I will also pay a visit to Deer Island, maybe you all have forgotten what the Knights’ Fury is.”

Li Bingxi smiled, “After today, there will be no knights.”

Speaking, Li Bingxi walked slowly outside the battlefield, every step leaving a shadow, each shadow exactly like Li Bingxi, with different expressions.

Qing Chen had seen this practice inheritance, back in Amsterdam, Li Yunze used this practice inheritance to confront experts from the North American Future Organization.

He had tried to recall Li Yunze’s moves, intending to identify the real one from the fake.

But no matter how Qing Chen analyzed the details, the result was…

Every shadow was real, every punch was lethal, Qing Chen still hadn’t figured out how he would win against Li Yunze.

It seemed invincible.

Li Bingxi walked twelve steps, twelve Li Bingxi surrounded Li Dong and the others.

Twelve Li Bingxi simultaneously said, “First, kill your disciple, then you.”

As soon as the words fell, twelve Li Bingxi suddenly charged at Qing Chen.

However, Li Dong gave Qing Chen the answer, this master showed Qing Chen with his actions how a knight should defeat this Deer Island inheritance.

As the twelve Li Bingxi charged, Li Dong’s silhouette disappeared again.

In the blink of an eye, Qing Chen heard twelve simultaneous sonic booms near his ears.

With each sonic boom, the ground snow exploded into ripples.

He watched as his master pulled a silhouette next to him, facing each of the twelve Li Bingxi’s, forcefully blasting them away.

Li Dong’s graceful yet dominant silhouette was purely through speed and strength, crushing the twelve Li Bingxi’s!

Qing Chen felt his heart and lungs almost pained by the sonic boom shockwaves, wiping the corner of his mouth, there was blood.

But Li Dong stood still and unscathed.

Li Dong laughed, “Looks quite intimidating, again.”

The twelve Li Bingxi’s exchanged a glance, dividing into four formations, each with three men.

In each formation, only one would strike at a time, and after being repelled by Li Dong, another would immediately replace him.

Li Bingxi’s killing intent and murderous aura surged like a vast heavenly river, endlessly.

At one moment, Qing Chen felt as if, as long as the sun and the moon existed, this battle formation integrated with the world would not break or stop.

No matter when, Li Dong must face four attackers simultaneously, endlessly, with Jindai Chika’s four great shikigami watching like tigers eyeing their prey.

Once Li Bingxi’s battle formation loosened, Shuten-doji, Soldier Department, Bull-headed rakshasas, and Great Tengu would fill the gap, firmly sealing Li Dong and others in this “cage.”

Deer Island, Jindai two demigods joining forces, the most terrifying aspect was this endless confrontation.

Qing Chen understood, Li Bingxi wasn’t trying to kill his master, but to exhaust his master until he became fatigued.

These demigods from Jindai and Deer Island coveted the knights’ longevity and perfect bodies.

Qing Chen suddenly felt a familiar sensation, this knight’s body, don’t you think it’s similar to Tang Monk’s flesh, how did he and his master become like the modern-day Tang Monk?!

But if his master was always trapped here, how could he find this old turtle Jindai Chika?
