554: A hundred cities were conquered in an instant! The werewolves of the Demon Palace were terrified!
Su Lie took out a demon abyss cannon: "The automatic rifle and the dragon flame shotgun have already been enhanced to the extreme! Some Demon City in the Sword Void possess corresponding immunity, requiring me to follow up with another shot after firing remotely... too troublesome!"
"I can only check the effectiveness of the demon abyss cannon!"
Previously, while destroying the other Demon City, he had discovered something.
The automatic rifle was indeed very efficient at destroying the Demon City from a distance.
However, a portion of the Demon City possessed defensive arrays that granted immunity to fire and ice powers.
This prevented Su Lie's attacks from completely wiping out the Demon City.
He could only use the power of the shotgun again to suppress the enemies at close range.
If the dragon flame shotgun were used without restraint.
It could indeed instantly destroy all Demon City.
However, all life forms outside the Sword Void would be killed.
Judging from this mist rule mission.
He also had to rescue the Punishment Hall Trial Taker.
This restricted the dragon flame's movements.
Moreover, neither the power of the shotgun nor the automatic rifle could destroy the magic array at the very bottom of the Demon City.
Since he had decided this time to quickly destroy the remaining Demon City, and even the magic arrays.
Naturally, he had to try the demon abyss cannon.
If it was feasible.
He wouldn't mind using this cannon to achieve a quick victory.
Buzz!
The next second.
After he used the Companion Supreme Treasure Talent on the demon abyss cannon.
An auspicious cloud pattern condensed on the demon abyss cannon.
The ominous, demonic cannon body turned pitch black, lusterless, and looked like an ordinary "artillery piece."
"It's done!"
Su Lie immediately used the Identification Talent on the demon abyss cannon.

"Next up is soul attachment!"
Su Lie immediately took out the Gold and Silver soul attachment orb.
This was a soul attachment orb refined using the soul of the Gold and Silver Archmage.
It can increase weapon damage by 1,000 times, reduce weapon consumption by 100%, and add 3 Skills to the weapon.
[Buzz!]
The next second, beautiful gold and silver patterns appeared on the demon abyss cannon.
A Little Lion with golden pupils emerged from the forehead of its tiger head.
It was slightly different from other attached artifact spirits.
The Little Lion looked up at Su Lie and said: "Artifact spirit greets Master!"
Although it spoke submissively, its head remained held high.
Su Lie smiled slightly and immediately looked at the demon abyss cannon's panel.
He saw.
The damage of the demon abyss cannon had become 5 Zi points of damage.
And it also gained three Skills.
[Active Skill Brilliance Blade: Every attack of yours will be accompanied by 100 million Brilliance Blades, and the damage of each Brilliance Blade is 1 billion times the weapon's base damage.
Passive Skill Metal Manipulation: ... Passive Skill Splitting: Every Brilliance Blade you release... will automatically split into 10 trillion fingernail-sized fragments, inflicting Lingchi (Death by a Thousand Cuts) damage on the target.]
These three Skills have all been enhanced by the companion supreme treasure weapon.
Their stats are exactly the same as those of the automatic rifle and the dragon flame shotgun.
In addition.
The demon abyss cannon also gained four more Special Effects.
They are Phantasmal Shape, Size as Desired, Teleportation, and Precise Control.
The Control Special Effect allows the cannon spirit to control the coverage area, range, and firing rate of the demon abyss cannon's shells, as well as the power of the Rule - One Shot, One Soul.
"Good!"
Su Lie's eyes lit up upon seeing this.
He immediately applied the Origin Rule of the Xuanhuang Talent onto the demon abyss cannon.
In an instant.
The black color on the surface of the demon abyss cannon turned Mysterious Yellow, and combined with its shape.
It made the demon abyss cannon look even more like a crouching sabertooth tiger.
Under Su Lie's inspection.
He found that the demon abyss cannon had gained the Mysterious Yellow attribute.
[Mysterious Yellow Energy: Bound to Master Su Lie, sharing the rules of the Xuanhuang Talent.]
Moreover, the attribute of the demon abyss cannon also changed to Mysterious Yellow.
The Demonic Energy pollution in the demon abyss cannon's Double Pollution Special Effect turned into Mysterious Yellow pollution.
In addition.
The three Skills the demon abyss cannon had just acquired all received a 10,000-fold data boost from the Mysterious Yellow Rule.
Seeing this.
Su Lie laughed: "If I add the enhancement of the Heavy Gunner Skill, the enhancement of the Saturation Strike Talent! And... add the distortion of the All Things as Sword Talent, combined with the benefits brought by the Sword Dao Talent..."
Under Su Lie's calculations.
The base damage of the demon abyss cannon would ultimately reach a damage value of around 10 Jian.
The critical damage would reach a damage value of 100 Ji.
It also came with Rule Special Effect enhancements besides damage and critical hits, as well as other data benefits.
[All heavy artillery weapons you operate will receive a 1,000-fold increase in overall weapon damage and beneficial data.
Additionally, gain 11,000 times Firing Rate, 1,000 times Range, 1,000 times Killing Range, 100% Accuracy, 100% Critical Hit Rate, 10,000 times Effect Enhancement, and 10,000 times Penetration.

Rule - Precision: Your fired shells will 100% accurately hit the target point.
Rule - Firing Rate: All your artillery weapons gain 550,000 times Firing Rate.]
"Reaching the Ji level! That should be enough!"
Su Lie's eyelids twitched.
He looked at the artifact spirit nearby: "You seem different from other artifact spirits?"
"Yes, Master! I am a mutated, high-level artifact spirit; I have one more Special Effect than other artifact spirits!"
The artifact spirit replied, holding its head high: "Please rest assured! As long as I am here, there will be no mistakes!"
Only then did Su Lie glance at the mini-map in the corner of his vision.
After confirming the direction.
Su Lie turned the demon abyss cannon in the new direction.
"Master! I am best used on the ground!"
The artifact spirit wiggled the body of the demon abyss cannon, saying somewhat uncomfortably.
Su Lie was currently flying in the air, holding the demon abyss cannon.
After hearing the artifact spirit's voice, he immediately flew down to the ground beside the massive pit left by the Demon City ruins below his feet.
As he was manually operating it, the demon abyss cannon's artifact spirit spoke again: "Master! You can give me commands! There's no need for such troublesome manual operation!"
"Alright! There is a Demon City in the area 3,000 kilometers ahead!"
Su Lie relayed the information.
Upon hearing this, the artifact spirit immediately materialized a screen.
This was the observation screen provided by the Over-the-Horizon Observation Special Effect.
Through the screen, Su Lie saw the scene 3,000 kilometers away.
"Master! Target city found! The city's radius is 50 kilometers in diameter! Should I launch an annihilation attack against it?"
Su Lie nodded: "Yes! Requirement: Destroy the Demon City and the magic array beneath the Demon City! I require you to adjust the demon abyss cannon's damage to maximum and narrow the coverage area to 60 kilometers!"
"Adjustment complete! Launch? Use the One Shot, One Soul Rule?"
The next instant, the demon abyss cannon artifact spirit's reply sounded.
Su Lie nodded: "Do not use that Rule for now! Fire!"
"Please designate the next attack target! Or the one after that! I can simultaneously fire 100 million shells in one second! I can lock onto 1 attack target at the same time!"
The artifact spirit's voice sounded again.
Simultaneously.
Boom!
The demon abyss cannon fired a Mysterious Yellow spherical shell.
In the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The Demon City 3,000 kilometers away, displayed on the screen condensed by the demon abyss cannon, instantly turned to dust under the shell's attack.
The violent energy tore and melted the earth.
It only took an instant.
This Demon City was completely eradicated.
During this process, only a beam of light flashed skyward.
Afterward.
Everything returned to silence.
Su Lie looked through the observation screen towards the bottom of the massive pit.
He saw that the array beneath the massive pit had vanished, leaving behind only some special markings.
The scene before him made Su Lie's eyes light up: "Holy crap! The attack that destroyed the Demon City was only an instantaneous burst of energy; there was no residual effect afterward... If someone wasn't paying attention, they wouldn't even notice the Demon City had been destroyed?"
Just then, the artifact spirit's prompt sounded again.
Su Lie patted the demon abyss cannon: "Let's go check it first!"
"Hmph! If you don't trust me, don't use me! I perfectly completed the mission!"
The artifact spirit rolled its eyes and said disdainfully.
Su Lie grabbed the demon abyss cannon and flapped his wings, flying back to the ruins of the destroyed Demon City: "Even so, I have to verify it! After all, my goal is to annihilate the magic array!"
After careful observation underground, he discovered.
The array beneath the Demon City ruins had indeed been annihilated by a single shot.
And it was precisely because of the obstruction of the array that the demon abyss cannon's annihilation power did not cause deeper melting and destruction to the massive pit beneath the Demon City.
Su Lie then returned to the surface.
He first used the photographic memory rule granted by the Purple Mansion Talent to collect information on the other Demon City.
Afterward.
Su Lie told the artifact spirit the locations of the 257 Demon City, excluding the 36 main Demon City, one by one: "If the remaining Demon City can be destroyed in one second, I will have more time to tackle the other 36 main Demon City!"
By the time he finished relaying all the information.
The artifact spirit immediately responded: "Master! All targets are locked! Launch attack?"
"Yes!"
Su Lie replied immediately, excited by the response.
In his opinion, the operation and use of the demon abyss cannon were simply too intelligent.
This was far more proactive than the artifact spirits of the automatic rifle and the shotgun... Meanwhile.
On the summit of a rocky mountain about a thousand kilometers away from Su Lie.
A team of Demon Hall Trial Taker, hidden under an Invisibility Cloak, was observing Su Lie's location with binoculars.
One of them said tremblingly: "Boss Tu Tu! We can't handle this at all! One shot destroyed one Demon City, and we... damn, luckily we moved slowly... otherwise, we would have died just now!"
As he spoke.
The demon abyss cannon instantly fired over two hundred shells.
The faces of the rest of the team changed drastically in fear after seeing this.
"Holy hell! Firing over two hundred shells at once!"
"This weapon is too awesome!"
"Seeing how powerful he is, I regret it a bit! If I had known, I would have chosen to be an Artillery Master back then!"
... While the few people were talking in hushed tones.
Captain Tu Tu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turning his head to his teammates: "Do you know what just happened?"
"Huh?"
The team members turned to look at the captain.
Captain Tu Tu said weakly and hoarsely: "We just received intelligence! The 257 Demon City that the other teams were monitoring were annihilated almost simultaneously by an orb of light that flew in from who knows where!"
"Hiss! Holy crap! That wasn't the shells we just saw, was it?"
The observer was so scared he immediately fell onto the ground.
Captain Tu Tu said, his face pale and his body trembling: "It looks like it! Gulp!"
At this point, his back was already soaked with sweat.
All the team members fell into a state of shock: "How is this possible?"
They knew that the periphery of the Sword Void was not a single entity, but rather the four sides of a square region.
To destroy over two hundred Demon City scattered across these four sides.
Didn't he need to change direction?
Could that person directly see all areas of the entire map?
Even Ying Yuanshi and Luo Hou Sword Master of the Demon Hall could not achieve this step.
How did he do it?
This was simply too unbelievable!
The 12 werewolves of the Demon Hall.
At this moment, forgot the purpose of their visit.
Forgot to breathe.
Forgot everything.
Heaven and earth seemed to stand still at this moment.
After about half an hour passed like this.
A frantic plea for help rang out in the ears of the squad captain, Tu Tu: "Tiancang Demon City requesting aid! Tiancang Demon City requesting aid! The City Lord suddenly died violently, and the treasury was robbed!"
"I suspect a high-level Trial Taker has infiltrated the city!"
... Amidst the shouts.
Squad Captain Tu Tu suddenly trembled and woke up.
Just as he was about to inquire.
He heard a piercing sound from the communication channel: "Ah!"
"Report! Report! This is Werewolf Squad No. 9182. We just arrived in the area 200 kilometers away from Tiancang Demon City, and suddenly discovered that Tiancang Demon City instantly vanished and turned into a massive pit!"
The voice of the captain of Squad No. 9182 rang out anxiously: "Can someone tell me what the hell happened?"
No sooner had he asked his question.
The avatar of this squad captain instantly turned gray.
This scared Tu Tu so badly he nearly wet himself.
An avatar turning gray indicated that the person had just died.
This made Tu Tu disregard his dignity, immediately removing the token representing the Demon Hall from his storage equipment and his person, and re-donning the token of a Punishment Hall official member: "Everyone! I don't have the guts to keep playing this game!"
"If you trust me, let's all Disguise back!"
"Anyway, this is our first mission, and we only provided some intelligence to other Demon Hall members; we haven't participated in hunting or chasing Punishment Hall Trial Taker!"
As soon as he said this.
The team members' expressions changed drastically.
They couldn't help but exchange glances.
Tu Tu immediately continued: "A formidable figure has appeared in the periphery of the Sword Void! If you think you can hunt them down through assassination or other means, then go ahead and walk the path of no return!"
"I, Tu Tu, cannot walk anymore!"
"I quit!"
"Don't worry!"
"If we meet again in the future, I will not expose your identities... If I break this oath..."
Under his oath.
The team members' nervous hearts relaxed.
Subsequently.
Someone immediately followed up: "Everyone! I quit too! There's no punishment for failing the mission anyway!"
"I came here just to gain some benefits and indulge in the thrill of playing werewolf! But now things have exceeded my expectations and the limits of my ability! I dare not continue playing with my identity exposed!"
After speaking, he also swore an oath, just like Captain Tu Tu.
Before long.
The entire squad discarded their Demon Hall identification items, replaced them with the tokens of Punishment Hall Trial Taker, and became Punishment Hall Trial Taker once more...
