The cannon barrel trembled and spat out a spiral of crimson light, which shot towards the eighth-rank Crimson-tailed Beast.

In an instant, the eighth-grade Crimson-tailed Beast was caught up by the spiraling crimson beam of light. A deafening roar erupted in mid-air, and a raging gale spread in all directions, mixed with bright red blood!

However, the eighth-rank Crimson-tailed Beast did not die. Its several tails turned to dust, and one of its forelimbs disappeared, but it was still alive!

"It's so tenacious... Ancestor, I can't go on. This Spirit Machine can only fire twice at most," Luo Qing said with some disappointment.

Ye Feng then gave Gongbu Qiuye a look, and Gongbu Qiuye took a step and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the eighth-grade Crimson-tailed Beast.

With a flick of his right hand, Gongbu Qiuye produced a slender rapier and thrust it toward the eighth-rank red-tailed beast.

The sounds of "poof poof poof poof" rang out immediately, and hundreds of bloody holes instantly appeared on the body of the eighth-grade red-tailed beast!

The repeated injuries drove this eighth-rank red-tailed beast into a frenzy, and it began its final, desperate counterattack.

But upon seeing this, Gongbu Qiuye immediately withdrew and retreated, putting away his rapier and taking out a longbow from his storage ring.

Gongbu Qiuye pulled the contribution, and his true energy instantly condensed into a green arrow. The moment he released his finger, this arrow of true energy shot out, shattering the protective true energy of the eighth-grade red-tailed beast and piercing its skull.

Thus, the eighth-rank Crimson-tailed Beast died, utterly and completely dead.

The mangled corpse of the eighth-rank Crimson-tailed Beast swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground with a thud, motionless.

Moreover, the death of the eighth-grade red-tailed beast caused great panic among the red-tailed beasts here. However, instead of fleeing, they all rushed towards Gongbu Qiuye.

Gonbu Qiuye had no interest in fighting these low-grade red-tailed beasts and immediately teleported away from the area.

What followed was a barrage of explosive bullets!

A dense barrage of explosive bullets rained down from the sky, along with spirit stone grenades.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

All the Red-tailed Beasts died; not a single one survived.

Chen He and Jiang Wei led a hundred martial arts guards and two hundred infantry soldiers to clean up the battlefield and count the corpses of the Crimson Tail Beasts.

Ye Feng, Luo Lin, Gongbu Qiuye, Xu Pingan, and Zijing all came to Luo Qing's side.

"Ancestor, I've disappointed you." Luo Qing's expression was somber, and her voice lacked confidence.

This Spirit Machine was created by Luo Qing herself. She brought it here happily, wanting to help Ye Feng and also to show off her new weapon to him.

Two consecutive shots failed to kill the eighth-grade Crimson-tailed Beast; they only injured it. In the end, it was only when Gongbu Qiuye, a peak-level expert of the Tree Spirit Clan in the Divine Travel Realm, personally intervened that the eighth-grade Crimson-tailed Beast was finally killed.

So now Luo Qing felt ashamed, with a sense of disappointment that she had prepared for a long time to make a name for herself but in the end had not been able to use her skills.

Ye Feng chuckled and patted Luo Qing's head, then pointed at the smart device and asked, "Qing'er, did you build this?"

“Yes.” Luo Qing nodded vigorously.

The night breeze asked again, "What is this?"

Luo Qing answered without hesitation, "I call it the Wave Cannon."

"Wave Cannon?" Night Wind revealed an expression of great interest.

Luo Qing immediately began to explain to Ye Feng in detail, telling him about the main components of the Lingji machine.

This machine can be roughly divided into three parts.

The first part is the spirit artifact supply device.

The spirit weapon supply device also serves as the base for the wave cannon. It is a large, square iron block containing five hundred artificial spirit stones.

Once the spiritual mechanism is activated, these five hundred artificial spirit stones will supply the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within them to the next part of the mechanism, namely the second part—the fluctuation conversion array.

The Fluctuation Conversion Array is not a single array, but a composite array formed by nesting more than a dozen arrays.

Among them are the Spirit Storage Array, which receives and temporarily stores the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the Stabilization Array, which stabilizes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the Fluctuation Array, which endows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with fluctuating characteristics; and the Powerful Suppression Array, which compresses and gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth endowed with fluctuating characteristics.

It can be said that the second part—the wave conversion array—is the central hub of this wave cannon.

The third part is this long cannon barrel, which is as thick as an arm.

The barrel part is quite simple; to put it bluntly, it's just an enlarged version of the barrel of a fully automatic explosive rifle.

Ye Feng took a closer look and discovered that the cannon barrel also had helical rifling.

"Ancestor, my inspiration comes from the fully automatic explosive rifle, and also from a universal martial art—"

Luo Qing had barely gotten to this point when Zijing interrupted, "Hadouken, right?"

"How did you know?" Luo Qing stared at Zijing with wide eyes, full of curiosity.

Zijing said irritably, "You've already named this machine 'Wave Cannon,' how can I not associate it with 'Wave Fist'?"

"Oh, I see. So it was because my name was too straightforward." Luo Qing suddenly realized.

Even without Luo Qing's explanation, Ye Feng knew what the Hadouken was.

The Hadouken is a universal martial art that does not possess any specific attribute. Anyone who practices any core technique can learn and master this martial art.

However, precisely because of this, the power of the Hadouken is not very strong; it is a kind of useless technique that everyone knows but almost no one uses in actual combat.

However, the Hadouken has a very obvious advantage: it has no upper limit!

The stronger a martial artist is, the stronger their Hadouken will be. Unlike other martial arts techniques, which have a natural upper limit, the power of a martial art will not increase no matter how much a martial artist's level improves, or it will reach a threshold and then cannot be improved further.

"The Hadouken is arguably the simplest martial art, and it has no upper limit to its power. Therefore, I think this martial art works very well with spiritual energy. As long as the spiritual energy is supplied with enough spiritual energy, it can create a Hadouken with any power."

"So I built this machine based on this design idea... but there are still some serious problems."

Luo Qing sighed as she finished speaking.

The Spirit Machine created by Luo Qing has two very obvious flaws.

The first drawback is that it's difficult to aim.

When Luo Qing used the Wave Cannon to attack the eighth-grade Crimson-tailed Beast, the first wave cannon shot missed the target, and although the second wave cannon shot barely hit the target, it did not hit a vital spot.

In the end, it was only through the personal intervention of Gongbu Qiuye that the eighth-rank Crimson-tailed Beast was finally killed.

The second drawback is its poor battery life.

Such a large wave cannon, it couldn't even last after firing just two shots, which is undoubtedly fatal!
