The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 170: Human Cannon

[Armor Breaking Power]!

Swish~

The sharp and slender katana blade glinted with a cold light visible to the naked eye. A flash of a smooth, ultimate cutting sensation passed, and a grotesquely twisted head spiraled into the sky.

Thud~

The headless corpse slowly knelt before the young man, the high-pressure carotid artery spraying blood nearly ten meters into the air, drenching the surrounding area in a fountain of blood rain.

Hiss~

Bathed in the faint crimson mist, Zhu Haomiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, savoring the sweet metallic scent in the air.

Delicate blood pearls rained down like droplets, but were stopped centimeters away from his body by an invisible barrier, leaving not a single drop on the young man's skin.

Swish~

With a flourish of the katana, Zhu Haomiao stepped forward again.

Bang bang bang~

Dense bullets whizzed past him like ghosts, as the lightning-fast black figure accelerated, flashing across the battlefield, slicing every locust army soldier in his path in half.

"Aaaargh!"

A locust army soldier, cut in half at the waist, let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Another soldier was split vertically down the middle.

"Monster!"

"Demon!"

"Stay away!"

...

Witnessing their comrades' gruesome deaths, even the well-trained locust army soldiers were mentally shattered, crying and fleeing backward.

"Don't run! Don't run!!"

The Supervision Team tried to maintain order, but the front-line soldiers, wishing for more legs to run faster, fled in panic, abandoning even their guns.

At that moment, only one thought filled their minds, run!

Escape from that terrifying murdering demon!!

But watching the locust army soldiers flee over the hills, Zhu Haomiao was also momentarily stunned, with a phrase inexplicably flashing through his mind.

"Even if you release 50,000 pigs, the Communist Army couldn't catch them all in three days!"

Forget 50,000 pigs, even with just a few hundred soldiers running all over the place, I don't know how to chase them...

Damn it!

Could you guys group up a little, so it's easier for me to strike?

Forget it, just drive them towards the Central Army, break through and capture the strategic point...

With a disdainful frown, Zhu Haomiao picked a direction and charged forward.

Swish~

With one slice, the slowest soldier was cut diagonally in half, his frenzied figure suddenly "splitting," the upper half flying several meters while the lower half remained.

"Aaah!!!!"

The locust army soldier, clutching himself in his last moments, let out a heart-wrenching scream that echoed across the battlefield.

This horrific scream, like a death sentence, made the hairs on every fleeing soldier's body stand on end. None dared look back, scrambling, fleeing even more desperately.

"Aaah!"

"Yamete~"

"Mercy!!"

"Help me!!"

...

The mourning cries from behind kept echoing, as if a beast was devouring each lagging comrade one by one.

The terror of death nipping at their heels filled their minds, survival instinct replacing reason. No matter how the Supervision Team roared and bellowed, the tide of deserters overwhelmed them, flooding towards the safer rear of the Central Army.

"Damn it!!"

Seeing Zhu Haomiao single-handedly massacre hundreds of locust army soldiers, an officer with a mustache in the safer rear area set down his binoculars and ordered his attendants.

"Suit me up!"

"Yes!"

Seven or eight burly attendants carried heavy armor pieces, stacking them on him as if assembling a mecha.

Meanwhile, chasing fleeing soldiers like ducks, cutting them down like grass, Zhu Haomiao suddenly found the way clear, seeing groups of soldiers struggling to drag heavy artillery backward in the distance.

Blinking, Zhu Haomiao realized he'd pierced through the frontlines, reaching the artillery zone at the locust army's rear.

Lightly spinning his katana, flicking off thick blood from its blade, Zhu Haomiao leisurely strolled over to a pile of discarded shells, inspecting one with curiosity.

A diameter over 100mm was already considered heavy artillery in this era, but the English text on the shell made his eyebrows twitch slightly.

Sure enough…

Other countries also have figures like Nalan Shu, secretly influencing the world's trajectory, supporting Japan in waging war.

No wonder the locust army's weapons and equipment were disgustingly luxurious!

Totally unmatched with their weak, impoverished national power…

At this thought, a slight emotion stirred in Zhu Haomiao's heart.

This was real-world geopolitical conflicts extending into the Illusion Realm…

Beneath the peaceful facade of the world's order lay undercurrents of hidden struggles!

In places unseen or unperceived by ordinary citizens, the clandestine battle lines have never ceased, merely more civilly and harmlessly packaged!

Just like this [Ascension Competition]…

Realizing something, Zhu Haomiao weighed the shell in his hand, his gaze turning to the soldiers laboriously dragging artillery pieces.

I wonder if I can detonate the fuse…

With a trace of curiosity, Zhu Haomiao tightened his grip on the shell, slowly storing power as if throwing a javelin.

Swish~

The dozens of pound shell was thrown by human strength, turning into a streak of light, shooting straight into a distant cannon.

Boom!

The shell precisely hit the cannon, a terrifying fireball expanding instantly, its shockwave and flames engulfing over a dozen locust soldiers and mules, leaving only a twisted, deformed broken cannon.

Seeing his "Human Cannon" work, Zhu Haomiao's eyes brightened, grabbing another shell, storing power once more.

Swish~

Boom!!!

With a God attribute of 52, he could accurately lock on a target, while a Dexterity attribute of 47 allowed him detailed control over his body, ensuring perfect hits.

The speed of the multi-ton artillery was negligible, appearing as stationary targets to Zhu Haomiao!

Where his eyes went, his hand followed, the shell followed!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Like discovering a new toy, Zhu Haomiao picked out the cannons in his sight one by one, in less than a minute, over a hundred locust army soldiers perished under his "shelling."

So fun…

This is way more efficient than killing individually!

The crimson desire to kill rolled in the young man's pupils, an unconscious ferocious grin on his handsome jade-like face, giving him a sinister, eerie contradiction.

"Beast! Stop it!"

Just as Zhu Haomiao was enjoying himself, a thunderous shout erupted beside his ear.
