In 1964, after numerous developments, the United States began to design the M163 20mm six-barrel Vulcan anti-aircraft gun, which was officially finalized in 1965 and entered service in August 1968. It was equipped in the mechanized infantry divisions and armored divisions of the U.S. Army as part of mixed air defense artillery battalions, used in conjunction with the Stinger missile system. Its primary role was to protect frontline troops against low-flying aircraft and armed helicopters, while also being capable of engaging light armored ground targets. It became a true representation of the Vulcan cannon and retained the name of the old-style multi-barreled weapon from the eighteenth century: Gatling.
Due to the weight and recoil of the Gatling gun, it was typically mounted on armored vehicles or used in manned turrets. Aside from some movies, Ye Huan had never heard of a Gatling gun being operated by an individual. Therefore, he was curious whether Bai Yulin would elevate this high-rate-of-fire, high firepower density weapon to new heights, allowing it to shine in this world.
It seemed that Bai Yulin sensed Ye Huan's unusual gaze. He turned his head just in time to meet Ye Huan's eyes and immediately noticed the fervor for arms reflected deep within them. Since he had never seen Ye Huan display such an expression before, it sent shivers down Bai Yulin's spine. He couldn't help but say to Ye Huan, "Can you not look at me like that? I'm not ready to use it yet!"
"Come on, you're a grown man! Why are you afraid of being looked at? Just get on with it, no more talking."
Rolling his eyes at Bai Yulin, Ye Huan could hardly wait to witness the true power of the Vulcan cannon. Bai Yulin did not disappoint him; as if trying to escape from Ye Huan's side, he soared into the air.
"Who goes there? State your name!"
Having seen what happened when Ye Huan faced Song Zhong, none of the Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators wanted to end up like Song Zhong—getting shot without even knowing their opponent's name. They hurriedly halted their advance and collectively questioned Bai Yulin, learning from experience.
In contrast, Bai Yulin had already learned a great deal about combat from Ye Huan. He wasn't foolish enough to reveal his real name to a group of people he didn't know at all. Thus, upon hearing the Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators' words, Bai Yulin retrieved the Vulcan cannon he had received from Ye Huan from the unique storage space of his Tenth-Level Beast. After flipping the switch, he gripped the handle tightly and exclaimed a curse: "I am your master!"
"Impudent!" "Bold!" "Seeking death?!"
Upon hearing Bai Yulin's words, nearly all the Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators were enraged. However, just as they were about to hurl insults back at him, a series of grinding sounds emerged as Bai Yulin's Gatling gun slowly began to rotate. This sight left many Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators who had never seen a Gatling gun before speechless, their mouths agape as they stared at what was in Bai Yulin's hands.
Creak... Creak... Creak... Creak...
As the six barrels of the Gatling Gun spun faster and faster, the cultivators of the Heavenly Dragon Sect fell into a deathly silence, each one stunned. Just then, a loud bang echoed, and a dazzling flash of fire erupted from the muzzle of the Gatling Gun. A bullet, the size of a flying knife, pierced through the head of an ordinary Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivator, shattering his skull and sending his body flying two meters away due to the force of the Fire God Cannon.
"Wow... is this Fire God Cannon really that terrifying?"
No matter how he looked at it, Bai Yulin's Gatling Gun seemed far more powerful than the one Ye Huan usually used. As Ye Huan took out a Military Telescope and saw the headless corpse, he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. A hint of doubt crept into his mind about Bai Yulin's modified Fire God Cannon Gatling. He wondered if it had fundamentally changed in nature. If that were true, he would have to carefully inspect every type of Arms he summoned next time; there might be some extraordinary weapon hidden among them.
Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat...
The crisp sound broke Ye Huan's train of thought. He looked up and his mouth dropped open in shock. In the brief moment he had been pondering, the cultivators of the Heavenly Dragon Sect had realized the terror of the Gatling Gun and were all rushing towards Bai Yulin, trying to force him to stop attacking. Unfortunately for them, Bai Yulin was not a sitting duck. When faced with their attacks, he swiftly dodged aside. However, this movement only highlighted the true power of the Gatling Gun.
In the past, when Ye Huan used a Gatling Gun, he could only fix it in one place to unleash a barrage on his enemies. But Bai Yulin was different; while evading attacks from Celestial Dragon Sect disciples, he continued to tilt the Gatling Gun and fire at them. To put it bluntly, unless Bai Yulin was injured and forced to stop using it, this Gatling Gun summoned from the 2012 Arms Compendium would become an unstoppable weapon as long as there were no overheating issues. This was evident from how the Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators fell like raindrops under Bai Yulin's assault.
"Damn it! If I had known this Fire God Cannon was so powerful, I would have kept it for myself..."
Swallowing hard, Ye Huan stared at each Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivator plummeting from the sky for quite some time before regaining his composure. Regret filled his heart; he cursed himself for not realizing such a great item was in his Spatial Ring while letting Bai Yulin steal the spotlight.
Just as Ye Huan felt envious and resentful, Song Zhong, one of Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, also witnessed Bai Yulin slaughtering Celestial Dragon Sect disciples. All eyes turned toward Bai Yulin's Gatling Gun. After a long pause, Song Zhong could no longer contain himself and said to those around him, "You all saw that too; that man must be relying on that thing in his hand to stop our Celestial Dragon Sect disciples. What do you think? Is anyone interested in that weapon?"
"Of course I'm interested! Let me give it a try!"
A voice rang out from behind Song Zhong as a towering figure nearly three meters tall stepped forward from among Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors. Clad in black attire that accentuated his massive build, he carried an enormous weapon on his back—a double-headed axe nearly eight feet long. The axe head alone covered an area of about one square meter; just being struck by it would likely turn someone into pulp.
"Hey there, Mighty Bull! This is my first time seeing you take the initiative to fight! That's fine; since you're interested, I won't compete with you."
A lazy voice belonging to Ghost Blade sounded from the right side of Song Zhong. Having already drawn the Ghost Head Dagger, Ghost Blade slowly sheathed his weapon upon noticing the giant man’s entrance. The other members of the Ten Protectors also abandoned their thoughts of engaging in battle, indicating that this Mighty Bull truly had some impressive skills.
“Great! It’s perfect for you to take the stage, Mighty Bull!”
With a slight smile, Song Zhong, although disregarded by the members of the Ten Protectors, was enthusiastically cheering for Mighty Bull as if he were the one going into battle.
Ignoring Song Zhong entirely, Mighty Bull had little interest in him. What truly caught his attention was the Gatling Gun in Bai Yulin's hands. As a three-meter-tall 'giant', aside from the Double-Headed Axe specially crafted for him by Gu Long, this was the first time he had seen a weapon he could actually use. If he could seize it, Mighty Bull believed his status among Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors would rise even higher. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Despite his unimpressive name, Mighty Bull was quite clever and made his way toward Bai Yulin step by step, buying time for the Celestial Dragon Sect Disciples to retreat.
“??”
Bai Yulin was startled when he suddenly spotted this towering figure of a man who stood three meters tall. He halted his continuous fire with the Gatling Gun and looked warily at Mighty Bull. In Bai Yulin's experience, aside from some transformed magical beasts, he had never seen a human with such an imposing physique. Glancing at the oversized Double-Headed Axe behind Mighty Bull, Bai Yulin wondered if even in his Holy Dragon form, he would be able to withstand a blow from that axe…
