Chapter 157: the earth rending cannon

The emergence of this frightening armored car scared the life out of the Ratliff soldiers, as they all left their offense to focus completely on defense reflexively.

In less than 5 seconds since the car came into this isolated battlefield, no less than 300 soldiers died to its rapid automatic machine-gun fire as chaos spread in the originally neat and disciplined soldier units.

Boom!! Boom!! Explosions spread their red-hot tentacles, rocking the other parts of the battlefield as the Ratliff armored vehicles shined bright before exploding and turning bloody, painting dark red beautiful lights like fireworks on a Christmas night.

The surrounding houses and the landscape were completely leveled from the degree of destruction being wrath in these few seconds, burying their unlucky inhabitants in the process tragically.

As the car drove closer to meet the 3 huddled-up escapees, one of the best and most conspicuous Ratliff multi-purpose armored military vehicle in the formation of vehicles decisively drove out to confront this new arrogant newcomer.

Before this Ratliff ace vehicle could completely come out, a new weapon emerged from the corners of the dangerous-looking exotic car.

An enormous dangerous-looking sniper rifle suddenly materialized, its black hole-like muzzle aimed at this challenger, as the atmosphere suddenly seemed to have frozen for a moment.

Boom!! With a loud sound, an exotic high-caliber bullet accompanied by a bright blue energy beam launched out, inducing sparks as it went straight at its target momentously.

Bam!! Bam!! Boom!! The Ratliff military ace vehicle jerked like a drunkard, making 2 loud consecutive bam sounds as its internals got destroyed, before exploding with one last final metallic cry of annihilation.

The battle now progressed at such a fast pace that the soldiers could hardly keep up, both the pursuers and the pursued.

Despite this, all of their expressions turned to that of horror on seeing this, though it was in slow motion as the car continued its speedy and tyrannical advance.

The horrified expression on the 2 sister’s face did not even materialize fully before the exotic car arrived before them the next second. It opened itself up automatically, before quickly swallowing them up with one fluid movement.

Unlike the others, Clark was the only one that was able to track the complete movement pattern and speed of his car. This was only possible, due to his high standard implant.

As soon as the 2 sisters were safely kept in his car, veins erupted all over his body as he exerted effort to lift the energy discharger alone. Despite being covered by armor and his expression could not be seen, it was clear that it was taking him a lot of effort.

After finally lifting it, his car contracted its size at the same time, lowering its height a bit as he easily jumped on its rooftop.

As soon as his legs touched the car’s roof surface, his multipurpose boots glowed with a reddish grew metallic light as it activated its magnetic field immediately, thereby stabilizing him.

At this same time, thick wires emerged from the four corners of the car as they quickly embedded themselves into the thick sides of the energy discharger.

All these happened in less than 3 seconds in complete sync, like they were being done by one person, and not with a car. This was only possible because he already planned meticulously for a scenario like this.

Due to the extremely short time at which all these happened, the Ratliff soldiers were still disorganized and unable to understand the situation well and react.

This was his original plan from the beginning. He knew that he didn’t have enough energy reserves to remotely power up the energy discharger, which was a disadvantage he didn’t want to be burdened with.

After brainstorming for only a few minutes, he found his idle plan. What other thing was the best reserve for energy than his outrageous exotic car?

After doing all these and stabilizing himself on the car’s rooftop, a metal platform emerged from the car as he stably arranged his 2-form gun, now in its machine gun configuration on it.

“Eat this, bitches”. He yelled inwardly as he finally pulled the trigger, while his car started retreating with its mind-blowing speed again.

Tu!! Tu!! Tu!! Tu!! Thick, enormous dangerous-looking bullets empowered by thicker energy beams were released in rapid succession, shooting out rapidly to form an unpleasant cacophony of noise.

The energy release was completely outrageous, as the sight alone directly made the lesser Ratliff soldiers with weak will faint pathetically.

Fire followed the rapid bullet release, as soldier after soldier fell dead like grass that was being weeded with a sharp cutlass. It was now time for harvest, and his sickle of death was finally ready to reap lives.

The Ratliff soldiers could not react nor could they put up any ounce of resistance, as they died tragically without knowing how it happened.

Zoom!! As Clark shot out bullets like a mad battle maniac, his car streaked forward like the ghost rider’s ride, making the scene look completely mad and thrilling.

The car trampled the soldiers that were still standing under its thick hoof-like tires, as it quickly carved an escape path open from them.

As chaos and explosions reigned, this was when the Rivaldo patriarch finally recovered his senses. Seeing his son’s murderers escaping no longer bothered him, as he urged his driver to take him out of the battlefield immediately.

His only source of joy now was that his car was of better quality than those of his subordinates, so it didn’t explode immediately like the others.

Despite the extreme fear now in his heart and his desire to escape, he still decided to make this unbridled foreigner pay. He contacted his subordinates and ordered for a complete emergency lockdown of this whole region.

As he gave this order through his communicator, his personal 3rd rank high-grade soldier bodyguard that was originally quiet and inert suddenly lunged forward and hugged him tightly to himself.

3rd rank high-grade soldiers hardly become the subordinates of other people and families, except their country. But this was different, as this man was a soldier that was adopted and trained since his childhood by the Rivaldo family.

The Rivaldo patriarch became meek, he did not complain at this shameful gesture of his bodyguard. He knew that if this guy acted, then his life was truly in danger. His instincts were right, as loud sounds suddenly disrupted his thought process.

BOOM!! BOOM!! Clark finally let his car release its cannon shot for the first time since he got it, as the ground shook like a world-ending earthquake was imminent.

The red fire traveled across, spreading everywhere like the descent of a fire elemental incarnation, heating and melting anything that was before it and near it.

Destruction wreaked savagely across the whole street, as its very structure was redefined immediately.

After the initial eruption, the aftermath and heat struck again as anything still left intact immediately met its end.

All the houses in the area were leveled down, every resource and equipment in the street was destroyed, every soldier in the street met his/her untimely end, while every vehicle became ashes or molten iron immediately.

Molten dark red fire flowed like lava on the street floor, as the whole area now looked like the location of an apocalypse.

Zoom!! The aftermaths spread wide, but Clark’s car was more than capable of pulling through what it initiated as it drove through the expanding fire like a wild raging bull.

It passed this street that was now ruined, as it quickly entered the nearest street to continue its escape.

…

A minute after the initial eruption of the cannon fire, the aftermaths finally subsided a bit, leaving the street look like a desolate volcano valley.

In one of the deep trenches near the battlefield, with soft cracking sounds, an armored man struggled to pull himself up from the damaged earth.

The Rivaldo family’s 3rd rank high-grade soldier felt dizzy as he took the brunt of the damage on behalf of his boss. He finally helped his boss up, as the latter looked around with a dazed expression on his face. They were both the only survivors of the cannon blast.

Different emotions flashed past his deflated face, as he tried hard to control himself. It was first shock, before regret and indignation replaced it before anger completely took over him.

He suddenly grabbed his barely functioning patriarch communicator roughly, as he barked out a new order into it, to his men.

“All Rivaldo soldiers, if you are in the Madbull state, gather and converge to the area around the family territory immediately. Hunt and kill this foreign soldier for me, NOW!!!”

He was now completely angry. This time, it was not about his useless son, it was personal.

His actions led to the death of so many civilians and the destruction of a whole street, he knew that the Madbull state would not spare him. As he was already doomed, he would make sure to drag this foreigner down also.

The rapid power that his family gained was now completely stripped away due to an impulsive decision. Well, there were no regrets, he would pull out all stops to kill this foreigner before facing the state bureau.

…

Emily and Kate shook timidly from shock and fear, as the car carried them away with unmatched speed like they were in a space flying shuttle.

Despite being a soldier, the destruction wrath by this small car scared the hell out of Emily. Her fragile heart was already on the verge of giving up the ghost, as she stared at Clark’s figure with reverence now completely on her eyes.

Unlike her sister, Kate only had an expression of horror on her face as she stared at this legendary figure that loomed above the speeding car.

Her heart skipped a beat, as Clark finally came down into the car through an opening that just emerged. After calming down his rapidly breathing heart, he turned to face the 2 sisters.

Plop!! Kate fainted immediately, as this devilishly handsome face stained with blood turned to look at her. Her heart was even more fragile than her sister’s, she could not face this spreader of death directly.

`Well, Clark did not have the luxury to care about her condition. He successfully hacked into the communication systems of the Rivaldo family, so he also heard the new order.

His face grew more serious, as he turned off the autopilot. He was now ready to cruise his car to escape himself.
