"Look, what is that?!"
It was unclear who first voiced the question, but it broke the silence and sparked a wave of discussion among the Cultivators. Some even widened their eyes, as if doing so would help them see the small black dots in the distance more clearly.
Of course, it wasn't just the Cultivators who reacted this way. Even Beitang Mo, known for his strength, was startled by the dense cluster of black dots far away. He glanced at Hua Tuo beside him, but to his surprise, Hua Tuo didn't even lift his head. He seemed completely unfazed, as if he had anticipated this situation.
'This is bad. Does Ye Huan really have the ability to control those iron lumps on such a large scale?'
Mistaking Hua Tuo's calm demeanor for confidence in Ye Huan, Beitang Mo immediately thought of Ye Huan's ability to control weapons like the Type 99 Main Battle Tank and Apache Attack Helicopter. Little did he know that Hua Tuo's calmness stemmed not from trust in Ye Huan, but from his own disdain for someone as insignificant as Beitang Mo—after all, he was a two-thousand-year-old ancient monster.
However, Beitang Mo was not entirely wrong about one thing: Ye Huan had indeed summoned no fewer than a hundred Apache Attack Helicopters during the brief fifteen minutes he had after realizing the capabilities of the 2012 Arms Encyclopedia. If one looked closely, they would notice that beneath those numerous small black dots in the sky, a torrent of steel was rushing toward them—definitely not fewer than the number of Apache Attack Helicopters.
Like Ye Huan before him, Beitang Mo was now drenched in sweat and even contemplated fleeing like Ye Huan. However, as one of the elders of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he had to consider the sect's interests. He took out a large number of defensive artifacts from his Spatial Ring and placed them before him, waiting for Ye Huan's appearance.
Time passed second by second, and nearly every Cultivator was consumed by curiosity about those black dots. Many speculated whether Ye Huan had gone to summon reinforcements. But when those dots became clear enough for them to see their true forms, they were left speechless after a series of shocks. The sky was filled with Apache helicopters and Type 99 Main Battle Tanks. Given that a single Red Arrow 9 anti-tank missile launcher could flatten a mound outside Nine Gates Town, it was clear that with over two hundred iron lumps in the sky, it wouldn't be surprising if Ye Huan could leave all these thousand Cultivators behind if he wanted to!
"Damn it! This kid is ruthless! I only used one clone, and he brought over two hundred?!"
Almost knocked down by the sight before him, Beitang Mo cursed upon seeing Ye Huan summon over a hundred Apache Attack Helicopters and Type 99 Main Battle Tanks. He quickly issued an order for all Cultivators to retreat from Eastern State. As for their original purpose, anyone could do as they pleased; Beitang Mo had no intention of staying in Jiuzhou any longer. He stowed away his artifacts and turned to fly eastward.
"Elder Bei, wait for me!"
Unexpectedly, Beitang Mo actually put aside his pride and retreated without a fight. Just as all the cultivators were still trying to wrap their heads around this, a voice emerged from the crowd, drawing everyone's attention, including Hua Tuo. They soon discovered that the speaker had some sort of issue with his face, which was swollen like a pig's head.
"You are..."
Beitang Mo paused slightly upon hearing the call, curious about the person's identity. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that the clothing worn by this individual seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"It's me! I am Shen Shixing, a Third Generation Disciple of our Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
The person, whose mouth was at least swollen by a circle and spoke with a peculiar tone, occasionally stole glances at Hua Tuo. Wasn't this Shen Shixing, who had been kicked away by Hua Tuo just moments ago? It was unfortunate for him; not only had he been kicked away but he also landed face-first on the ground. No wonder Beitang Mo didn't recognize him right away.
After taking another look at Shen Shixing and confirming his identity, Beitang Mo understood from Shen Shixing's expression that his current state was entirely due to Hua Tuo's actions. Coupled with the fact that he was being forced to leave the Nine Provinces by Ye Huan, Beitang Mo felt that Heavenly Dragon Sect had completely lost face this time. He could only leave with Shen Shixing without looking back. However, as they departed, Beitang Mo couldn't help but grit his teeth and think to himself: "Ye Huan, you win this time. If you don't participate in the competition between Yuxu Palace and Heavenly Dragon Sect in six months, just dare to show up, and I will make you taste my power!"
Buzzing...
Just as Beitang Mo left, numerous Apache Attack Helicopters and Type 99 main battle tanks arrived beneath Hua Tuo. A large number of Eastern State cultivators sensed something was wrong and quickly fled in all directions, chasing after Beitang Mo as he left, leaving only Hua Tuo behind.
"Hey, Hua Tuo! Where's Beitang Mo? Wasn't he supposed to challenge me?"
Completely unaware that Beitang Mo had already been scared off by him, Ye Huan sat inside one of the Apache Attack Helicopters. After hovering in mid-air and opening the cockpit cover to question Hua Tuo, he earned several eye rolls from Hua Tuo. Just as he was about to respond to Ye Huan, an unexpected event occurred: all the Apache Attack Helicopters and Type 99 tanks vanished into thin air, including the one Ye Huan was in!
Fortunately, Hua Tuo had been keeping an eye on Ye Huan. As soon as he noticed the Apache Attack Helicopter disappear, he quickly reacted and rushed beneath Ye Huan. He grabbed Ye Huan by the collar and slowly descended to the ground before asking him, "Ye Huan, even if you've won against Beitang Mo's challenge, you don't need to put away your arms so hastily, do you?"
"I don't want to either; it's just..."
With a bitter smile, Ye Huan shook his head, unsure of how to explain everything that had just happened to Hua Tuo. It turned out that while he was conversing with Hua Tuo, he suddenly felt a darkness envelop him, possibly due to the excessive consumption of Divine Sense. A surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy flooded into the Summoning Book. By the time he regained his senses, he found himself transported to the Ground by Hua Tuo. As for why the Apache Attack Helicopters and Type 99 Main Battle Tanks had vanished, even Ye Huan couldn't quite figure it out. He could only make a rough guess in his mind:
'Could it be that summoning a large number of Arms from the 2012 Arms Encyclopedia has some side effects?'
