"Armstrong Spiral Accelerating Jet Armstrong Cannon?"
The name was quite a mouthful, but Ning Rongrong still managed to repeat it word for word, flawlessly.
This time, it was Su Xiaoqi who was stunned. He had once asked Zhu Zhuqing to recite the full name in front of him, but she always missed either the "Spiral" in the middle or the "Accelerating" part.
"Don't tell me... Ning Rongrong is actually a natural-born comedian, just delayed by her soul master career?"
Su Xiaoqi made a mental note to test her with a few jokes later. But right now, the top priority was to fire a shot at Dai Mubai.
Handing a lighter to Ning Rongrong, Su Xiaoqi explained how to use it."Rongrong, wait for my signal. Only fire when I tell you to."
Even Su Xiaoqi found the idea of lighting a cannon with a basic lighter a little absurd, but Sakata Gintoki had sworn on his life that in their world, the Armstrong Spiral Accelerating Jet Armstrong Cannon operated exactly this way.
Ning Rongrong nodded excitedly and walked over to the ignition mechanism, taking a deep breath as she awaited Su Xiaoqi's command.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoqi adjusted the cannon's angle. According to Sakata Gintoki, this authentic Armstrong Spiral Accelerating Jet Armstrong Cannon could blow up a house as easily as relieving oneself. Its effective range was roughly 3,000 meters.
Originally, Su Xiaoqi wanted to use modern firearms from his own world. After all, anyone familiar with Sakata Gintoki knew his "products" were not exactly known for reliability. But Gintoki had been so enthusiastic and so confident that Su Xiaoqi finally gave in.
Right now, four members of Shrek Academy were already within range. Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai walked up front, while Oscar and Ma Hongjun followed behind.
To improve the accuracy, Su Xiaoqi decided to wait until they moved a little closer before ordering the shot.
It didn't take long. Su Xiaoqi noticed Ma Hongjun suddenly clutching his stomach and heading into the forest. Oscar followed soon after.
"Rongrong, now! Fire!"
Hearing the command, the nervous Ning Rongrong pressed the lighter's button—but it took three tries before the flame finally caught and ignited the fuse.
The fuse was lit successfully, but…
After waiting for what felt like an eternity without hearing a sound, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask:"Su Xiaoqi, why isn't it doing anything? This isn't what you said it would do."
"Damn that white-haired idiot! I never should've trusted him!"
Su Xiaoqi was on the verge of exploding with rage. He wanted nothing more than to find that damned white-haired guy and ask what he meant by "as easy as drinking water and peeing." Right now, it was like the cannon had a blocked urethra. Nothing was coming out. Where the hell was the power?
Thankfully, Su Xiaoqi had prepared a backup plan. Just as he was about to pull a sniper rifle from the group chat's red packet, the Armstrong Spiral Accelerating Jet Armstrong Cannon suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Holy—!"
"Ahh!"
The unexpected recoil knocked both Su Xiaoqi and Ning Rongrong flat on their backs.
On the other side, Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai, startled by the blast, saw something rapidly flying toward them.
"Mubai, watch out!"
Zhao Wuji shoved Dai Mubai aside and instantly activated his Martial Soul True Body, swinging his massive bear paw to intercept the incoming object.
"Boom—!"
The instant his bear paw collided with the cannon shell, a thunderous explosion erupted in the forest. Flames shot skyward, illuminating the pitch-black night.
Su Xiaoqi looked down at Ning Rongrong, who had landed on top of him, and urgently said,"Rongrong, get off me—I need to check the situation."
"Oh… okay."Reluctantly, Ning Rongrong climbed off him. She had actually found the moment kind of… comfortable.
But when the two of them stood up and looked at the firestorm in the distance, their mouths both formed perfect "O"s.
Su Xiaoqi felt cheated—again."Is this the firepower that supposedly just 'destroys a house'? Seriously?"
Ning Rongrong, however, was completely awestruck by the cannon's power. Suddenly, her beloved handgun felt utterly unappealing. She wanted a cannon now.
While Ning Rongrong fantasized about showing off the cannon to her father, Su Xiaoqi said,"We can't see clearly from here. Let's loop around to the front and check it out."
Before leaving, Su Xiaoqi fired a ki blast and destroyed the Armstrong Spiral Accelerating Jet Armstrong Cannon. He swore to never use that temperamental thing again.
"Nooo!"Ning Rongrong let out a heart-wrenching wail as she looked at the shattered remains. Her beloved Armstrong Spiral Accelerating Jet Armstrong Cannon was gone just like that.
Su Xiaoqi gave her a deadpan look as she scrambled to gather the fragments."What are you doing? If you don't move, I'm leaving you behind."
Ning Rongrong angrily threw the pieces aside and stomped over to Su Xiaoqi."Su Xiaoqi, I hate you. I'm telling Zhuqing everything later!"
"What's this girl's problem now…"Su Xiaoqi rolled his eyes as he watched her storm ahead of him.
As they neared the explosion site, they began to hear moans coming from within the burning wreckage.
"Dai Mubai's still alive after that? You've got to be kidding me."
Just as Su Xiaoqi was wondering how he might go finish the job, three figures emerged from the flames.
"Holy crap… that's Dai Mubai? And those severed limbs in Ma Hongjun's hands—are those Zhao Wuji's?"
Beside him, Ning Rongrong caught sight of the scene and instantly vomited. The brutal imagery made even the bloodiest gunfights she'd seen seem tame in comparison.
Su Xiaoqi looked at what remained of Dai Mubai and figured maybe letting him live wasn't a bad idea after all. His once-glorious blond hair was gone, half his face was disfigured, his body was badly burned, and he had only one arm left.
As for Zhao Wuji?
Judging by how Oscar and Ma Hongjun were crying their hearts out, what was left of him likely amounted to nothing more than one arm and a pair of stubby legs.
Su Xiaoqi sent a message to Zhu Zhuqing, letting her know everything was handled and that he was on his way to meet her. Then he turned to Ning Rongrong and asked,"Done puking? If you're good, let's go find Zhuqing. The next act is about to begin."
Ning Rongrong snapped,"Su Xiaoqi, could you please show some sympathy for a poor, delicate girl like me? I—blegh…"
Su Xiaoqi sighed at her pitiful state, gently patted her back, and handed her a bottle of water."Alright, alright. Since you're such a mess, I'll give you another cannon to play with next time, how's that?"
