Chapter 156 156. Machine Gun Battle Innate
```
Yang Qing saw three little fries who weren't even at the level of Blood-Exchange and thought they were also Li Pei's men, so he didn't take them seriously at all and was solely focused on kidnapping the iconic sister duo.
"They might have some powerful firearms, but he himself is an Innate Martial Artist with a body 'cast from bronze and iron,' which ordinary firearms couldn't even scratch!"
It wasn't until a torrent of cannonballs came pouring down that the lecherous mocking smile on Yang Qing's face suddenly froze!
The Danger Sense of Spirit Refinement screamed warnings, but in addition to being an Innate Martial Artist, he was also versed in Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing! He also possessed abilities similar to Lu Yao's "Bullet Time."
Yang Qing's legs powered up explosively, blowing up the ground beneath him as if a hand grenade had detonated out of nowhere, kicking up a small crater with flying dirt and stones as he used it to instantly sidestep almost 60 meters!
And that wasn't even all! Suddenly, with two revolvers in hand, he fired consecutively, the shots blending into a continuous line, actually managing to blow up the approaching machine-gun cannonballs mid-air!
This agility and marksmanship were indeed befitting of a cultivator with the accomplishments of an "Innate Martial Artist and Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing." If Lu Yao had been holding an M2 heavy machine gun, he truly would have been at a loss against him.
The M2 heavy machine gun had a rate of fire of only 500 rounds/minute...
But now, he was facing the GSh-23! With a firing rate of 3000/minute, and its power was beyond comparison!
Lu Yao also entered the Spirit Refining State, and in 0.3x speed, he relentlessly targeted Yang Qing with the barrel of his gun.
The firing rate of 3000/minute turned the soda-bottle-sized cannonballs into a terrifying wave crashing towards the enemy, shredding everything in their path. Rocks, trees, nothing could impede the 23MM cannonballs' advance as they were reduced to dust.
If Yang Qing had been even slightly slower, that lethal "barrage" from behind would have caught up to him! He could only flee desperately, scrambling and leaping frantically, not daring to stop for a moment!
But at this moment, the beautiful sisters he had just been eyeing made their move!
Two .50 caliber machine guns raged with suppressive fire. Normally, Yang Qing had countless ways to deal with this, but he was in the midst of saving his own life — the additional harassing fire became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Yang Qing was first forced to take two hits from the .50 caliber bullets, stumbling as they struck.
The once exceedingly effective .50 caliber bullets could only penetrate his outer skin, then get stuck in his muscles or be repelled.
Yang Qing's body displayed tiny cracks like shattered porcelain. The next instant, he was struck by Lu Yao's autocannon.
His Innate body, which could ignore small caliber bullets and even .50 caliber bullets, couldn't withstand the autocannon designed to take on armored vehicles.
Yang Qing let out a miserable howl as several holes the size of teacups burst open in his body, and then he was sent flying by the huge kinetic energy of the cannonballs, crashing through a tree as thick as a man's waist before coming to a halt.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, cursing: "Damn it! How could three little fries who aren't even at the Blood-Exchange level have such powerful firearms!"
He had used the state of Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing to forcibly twist his body and avoid the vitals, yet he still sustained such severe injuries!
Seeing that the trio was ready to shoot again, Yang Qing pulled out a book he had been carefully protecting and shouted:
"Hold on! This is Hong Renkun's 'Tome of Worldly Resignation,' the secret manual of Spirit Refining Manifest Holiness! If you shoot again, you will have to be buried with me!"
After saying that, he spread the book in front of him.
Ever since the sect leader Hong Renkun had defeated Grandmaster Zeng, this secret manual became renowned overnight, raging like wildfire throughout Jiangnan.
With the emergence of the body, one could utilize Divine Manifestation; some even praised it as the number one Mystical Refinement Method of Spirit Refinement!
Seeing that Lu Yao and the others indeed held their fire, Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, cursing inwardly: The Mystical Refinement Methods are irresistible to anyone! If they dare to come closer, I must show them what I'm capable of!
~~~~~~~
Lu Yao and his two companions slowly advanced, stopping once they were within a hundred meters.
"Throw the book over here."
"I can't move; come and take it yourself."
Yang Qing feigned a feeble posture as if he were truly helpless.
But Lu Yao and his companions resolutely refused to move forward. Yang Qing's eyes flickered, and he said:
```
"This is the Supreme Secret Technique of the Mahayana Sect~ It was by practicing it that Hong Renkun was able to defeat Grandmaster Zeng and achieve great success! Hurry, come and take it~~~"
The voice carried a strange rhythm, making one unable to resist the urge to kneel and believe.
The sisters' eyes were slightly blurred, and they subconsciously began to move forward, but Lu Yao snapped out of it after a brief moment of bewilderment.
Before, Old Zhou had given him 'Spring Breeze and Drunkenness', and after studious cultivation, he had developed a strong resistance to this type of trickery.
Seeing that this man indeed wanted to lull the three of them into a trap to do harm, Lu Yao was not about to indulge him and immediately raised the machine gun without a word and pulled the trigger!
In the great noise of an electric pick drilling into a wall, countless huge shell casings covered the ground.
Holes after holes were blown open in Yang Qing's body, who was knocked about, dismembered, and tumbling everywhere, crying out in shock and anger:
"You wild brat!!! Cease fire! Don't you want the secret manual anymore!!!"
~~~~~~~~
Read new chapters at empire
Lu Yao sneered inwardly. Yang Qing wanted to deceive the three of them to come closer, but wasn't he equally eager to approach?
Within 100 meters, the machine gun in his own hands could aim and shoot with precision! He could simply avoid the secret manual and turn this fellow into a human stick, thus having both the person and the book!
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yao adjusted the muzzle and broke the arm of Yang Qing, who was holding the secret manual, causing the "Tome of Worldly Resignation" to fall to the ground.
Already severely injured and realizing his doom if this continued, Yang Qing disregarded the optimal distance and immediately launched his devastating move—his eyes turned into whirlpools, emitting bizarre waves.
And Lu Yao and his companions felt the world spin, dizzy and nauseous as if seasick. The world in their eyes turned upside down; they were on their heads and walking with their brains, an extremely peculiar sensation!
Yang Qing swallowed a mouthful of blood, his body riddled with huge holes and having lost an arm, his wounds were extremely severe.
Having completely lost the will to "turn defeat into victory," he yelled, "You three juniors, just wait! I will return today's humiliation tenfold!"
Picking up the secret manual with his mouth, he rushed toward the riverbank, intending to jump into the river and escape.
Lu Yao bit the tip of his tongue, regaining a trace of clarity, and forced himself to adjust the muzzle and fire!
But as everything seemed upside down, and with Yang Qing instantly twisting his body to dodge the bullets aimed at his vitals, Lu Yao fired a dozen or so shots and only blasted off his entire left leg.
Yang Qing screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground. The secret manual fell from his mouth, but unheeding, he used his remaining arm and leg to propel himself, like a cannonball, into the river and disappeared without a trace.
~~~~~~~~
It took nearly a minute for the three to stop feeling the world spin and get back to normal.
Now, Lu Yao's entire arm was numb and almost without sensation.
The recoil of the machine gun was simply too great; that thing was designed without consideration for being handheld, but rather to be fixed onto vehicles. Near the end, he had almost lost control, nearly getting shot into the sky.
Especially with the continuous firing causing the recoil to compound, Lu Yao's legs were buried up to his knees in the ground.
Looking at Yang Qing, the .50 caliber machine gun could only crack his body, while the cannon only managed to make holes the size of a teacup!
You should know that if an ordinary person were hit by a single cannon shot, they'd be turned into dumpling filling directly!
Moreover, high-level martial artists are not only remarkably sturdy in body but also have very strong vitality. Like insects, they can ignore injuries that would be fatal to ordinary people.
Liao Ya exclaimed, "No wonder all powers stipulate—prohibiting Innate Realm members from entering without permission!"
Lu Yao agreed saying, "This guy's defensive ability is on par with an armored car... what a pity we couldn't capture him alive."
Liao Ya took a sharp breath, "Alive? Junior Brother~ he is an Innate martial artist of the Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing stage, we're already inconceivable to have wounded him so severely, no one would believe it if it was told!"
Liao Qe also said, "Yang Qing, having lost a hand and a leg, is as good as crippled. The newspapers say that there is fierce infighting in the Mahayana Sect, with several princes dying off. He won't end well when he returns looking like this."
The three exchanged a few words, then began to clean up the battlefield.
