The collision between Martial Artists and modern technological weapons was a matter of global concern. High-level officials of various countries and some elite Martial Artists were well aware that in the not-so-distant future, the world would undergo significant changes. With the revival of Spiritual Energy, the strength of Martial Artists would rapidly increase. When that time came, a battle between Martial Artists and technological weapons would perhaps be unavoidable!

Now, the battle between Qin Xuantian and the Japan Self-Defense Forces was seen by many as a basis for speculating about a corner of the future. Whether they were Martial Artists or high-level global figures, all eyes were turned towards Tokyo Bay.

Of course, almost no one believed that Qin Heng could survive and escape. After all, the large-scale revival of Spiritual Energy had not yet happened. No matter how strong Martial Artists were, their strength was still limited. The current society was still dominated by technological weapons.

「At this time, at the port of Tokyo Bay.」

Qin Heng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking indifferently at the thousands of soldiers before him, as well as the anti-aircraft gun emplacements, armored vehicles, and the ten Escort Ships docked by the coast.

"You think you can beat me with this junk? Utterly laughable!"

He shook his head and sneered, not taking the equipment deployed by the Japan Self-Defense Forces seriously in the slightest. In his eyes, these technological weapons were completely vulnerable, no different from scrap metal.

「In the command room.」

Nagata Keiichi's face was dark as he spoke in a cold tone, "This Qin Xuantian is arrogant to the extreme! Don't hold back! Attack with full force and kill him!!"

As his words fell, the other military officers in the command room began issuing attack orders.

Consequently, the thousands of soldiers at the Tokyo Bay port immediately raised their firearms, aiming at Qin Heng. Over a dozen machine guns also emerged from the armored vehicles and began strafing Qin Heng. The three anti-aircraft gun emplacements also activated and opened fire directly!

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

A continuous roar of artillery fire erupted at the Tokyo Bay port. Thousands of firearms discharged, along with the bombardment from the anti-aircraft gun emplacements and the sweeping machine gun fire from the armored vehicles! All of it was directed at Qin Heng!

The dense bullets and artillery shells, linked together like countless long lines of fire, formed what looked like a fiery curtain sweeping across the sky, almost blotting out the sun!

In the face of such a massive barrage, any brick, tree, or even steel would be penetrated and shattered; all obstacles would be utterly obliterated!

A hail of bullets and a torrent of cannon fire filled the sky! This was definitely an attack no mortal flesh could withstand!

Even a Grandmaster of Transcendence who primarily cultivated their physique would not last a second against such an assault and would be instantly pulverized into meat paste!

Even an ordinary Innate Grandmaster would likely only meet death after a desperate escape, with no chance of survival, no way out! Death was certain!!

The moment this scene unfolded, Nagata Keiichi revealed a smile in the command room, saying, "Don't worry, Qin Xuantian is as good as dead. We won't even need those ten Escort Ships."

Smiles also appeared on the faces of the other officers as they all watched the screens, hoping to witness the sight of Qin Xuantian being turned into meat paste by the gunfire!

This man, who had recklessly annihilated the Miyamoto family in Japan, must die!!

However, just as the hail of bullets and dense artillery fire were about to strike Qin Heng, he suddenly leaped, instantly soaring more than three hundred meters into the air, standing high above in the heavens like a Heavenly God!!

This abrupt change startled everyone. They looked up at Qin Heng in the sky in disbelief, their voices trembling.

"He's flying! Qin Xuantian can fly? How is that possible!?"

"How can a human fly!?"

The current situation was beyond the Self-Defense Force soldiers' wildest imagination. They stared at the sky in disbelief, even forgetting to shoot at Qin Heng, all standing dumbfounded on the spot.

"Change direction! Attack upwards!!" Nagata Keiichi roared.

Only then did those soldiers awaken as if from a dream, intending to re-aim and attack Qin Heng in the sky.

Alas, it was too late!

Qin Heng stood in the sky. He raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air, as if seizing something from the heavens. The next instant, a golden bolt of lightning, over a hundred meters long, condensed in his palm!!

RUMBLE!!

Thunder boomed, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered. Sunlight was obscured, and within a three to five-kilometer radius of Tokyo Bay, everything was plunged into darkness. Only the lightning in Qin Heng's hand shone with a golden light, illuminating everything!

At this moment, Qin Heng appeared like the Thunder God standing in the heavens, holding the spear of thunderous judgment, ready to condemn the sinners of the mortal world!!

"A bunch of ants, you have no idea how powerful I am!" Qin Heng, holding the spear of lightning, towered above. His voice was somewhat ethereal as he sneered, "This pile of scrap metal can't even harm a single hair on my body!!"

The command room fell silent. Nagata Keiichi was utterly dumbfounded, watching Qin Heng on the screen in disbelief.

"Th-th-this!? This is an Innate Grandmaster? What kind of Innate Grandmaster can achieve this!?" Nagata Keiichi, shocked to his core, bellowed, "No, I don't believe it! This must be an Illusion Technique by Qin Xuantian! Fire! Fire! Escort Ships, open fire!!"

However, including the other officers in the command room, all the Japanese in the entirety of Tokyo Bay were already dumbstruck, staring in horror at Qin Heng suspended in the air.

Even the Self-Defense Force soldiers operating the Escort Ships had knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Qin Heng above!

Qin Heng's current posture was no different from that of a divine being. Moreover, he was the Thunder God possessing the supreme God Position, wielding thunderous retribution!!

The thousands of Self-Defense Force soldiers at the Tokyo Bay port were also frightened out of their wits. All of them knelt, losing all combat capability.

This was not because their wills were weak. In fact, the Self-Defense Force training in Japan was extremely demanding, and the soldiers' wills were usually very tenacious. However, this resilience was predicated on facing phenomena that existed within the realm of common sense.

Now, Qin Heng had flown into the sky. With a mere wave of his hand, the winds and clouds changed color, and lightning converged. He was just like a supreme god, high and aloof, completely beyond their expectations!

Qin Heng looked down from the sky at these Japanese people, sneering, "A bunch of Japanese mongrels, daring to block my path? You're truly courting death!!"

BOOM!!

With a tremendous roar, Qin Heng hurled the spear of lightning in his hand downwards. This bolt of lightning, over a hundred meters long, instantly split into thousands of smaller lightning bolts the moment it left Qin Heng's palm! Moreover, they grew to three or four hundred meters in length, spanning the sky, almost forming an immense net of lightning!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The thunder shook the heavens. The golden lightning wove into a celestial net that descended upon the Japan Self-Defense Force and those ten Escort Ships. The immense power of the lightning caused heaven and earth to tremble; the wind howled, dark clouds surged, and even the ocean waves surged tumultuously!!

"AAAAH!!" Screams rose one after another.

These Japan Self-Defense Force soldiers were mere mortals, as weak as ants beneath this net of lightning. They were turned to ash the instant they made contact. Within a few short seconds, the thousands of Self-Defense Force soldiers were utterly annihilated by Qin Heng!

At the same time, the net of lightning also enveloped the ten Escort Ships. Terrifying flashes of lightning flickered, followed by bursts of fire as the ten Japanese Escort Ships exploded on the spot! They became a pile of scrap metal!!

Qin Heng stood in the sky, high above, his hands clasped behind his back, looking down below. His sleeves fluttered in the surging wind as he sneered, "Defying Heaven might offer exceptions, but defying me leaves no chance of survival!!"

With that, he shifted his gaze towards the command room's direction.

Nagata Keiichi also noticed Qin Heng's gaze. His face instantly turned deathly pale with fright, and he screamed in terror, "Arrange a helicopter for me immediately! I need to get out of here!!"

"Too late!!"

An indifferent voice suddenly came from above the command room. Nagata Keiichi, alarmed, quickly looked at the screen, only to find that Qin Xuantian had vanished without a trace at some unknown point.

BOOM!!

The roof of the command room collapsed, and a human figure descended—it was Qin Heng!

Nagata Keiichi was aghast and immediately drew his pistol, aiming it at Qin Heng and roaring, "Don't come any closer! Don't come over here!!"

The other officers reacted similarly, trembling with fear. In their panic, they all drew their pistols.

Qin Heng was momentarily taken aback by this, then burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha! How laughable! How utterly laughable! Power is but an illusion; only one's own strength is real! No matter how immense your authority, before me, you are still just ants!! Die!!"
