The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 445 Nemesis
The Thunder and Fire Secret Medicine is a secret alchemy method that Chen Shen learned from Taoist Lingji. It was later improved upon by Chen Shen many times. Now it has long since broken away from the old mold and has become a new recipe that is ten times more powerful.

Of course, the preparation procedures of this new recipe are even more mysterious, so there is no need to say more.

The appearance of such things made Chen Shen see the dawn of true hot weapons.

However, limited by the current technological level of the Song Dynasty, it was not realistic for Chen Shen to popularize hot weapons on a large scale, especially since the iron smelting level of this era was still in the era of crucible melting and manual forging. It was impossible to produce steel that could match the new secret medicine of thunder and fire to make guns and cannons.

Only Chen Shen, relying on some broken ship materials plucked from the steel ruins of the subspace, was able to hand-make a few crude firearms, such as the [Shocking God Gun] (which is actually a simplified version of the primitive mortar, but the power of its shells is comparable to the high-powered aerial bombs of later generations) which uses the monkey version of the Thunder and Fire Pill as propellant and the new thunder and fire secret medicine as the filling agent for the blooming shells; the Explosive Arrow Pear Blossom Crossbow modeled after Zhuge Liang's Crossbow, and the Sniper Demon Crossbow modeled after the God's Arm Bow, all of which are Chen Shen's experimental developments on the application of the thunder and fire secret medicine.

However, although such weapons are powerful, they are only suitable for dealing with mortal things, including those fallen ones infected by evil spirits, but they cannot really kill the evil spirits in the subspace.

Take the present example, if the Secretary Wan Bian had not deliberately withdrawn his protection and sought death, even if Chen Shen shot him with a thousand arrows, he would not be able to hurt him at all.

The great clerk Wanbian died, and soon the third uninvited guest arrived...
Chen Shen eliminated six powerful Chaos Demons. Although they had different appearances, there were bird-man-like demons, ray-like demons, and demons riding Chaos war beasts... but without exception, they all had the unique flavor of the Wanbian system, and were more proficient in psychic spells than others. In terms of spellcasting ability, they were only slightly weaker than the expelled Grand Clerk.

Until the last one, the ninth Fallen One, appeared, Chen Shen suddenly had a sense of time and space distortion.

An armored warrior wearing a sci-fi purple-blue ceramic power armor, with a bunch of thorny steel rings on the back of his head, holding a power halberd, a bolter on his waist, and his body covered with eye decorations, rushed towards Chen Shen with heavy and swift steps.

Don't ask Chen Shen why he knows about power armor, power halberds, bolters and the like. There are quite a few wreckages of these things in the Iron Ruins, and the Machine Soul's database has also opened up a lot of data about these things to Chen Shen.

So Chen Shen was not completely ignorant of this fallen being who suddenly appeared. His original form was a modified creature called Astartes. Some of these modified creatures fell into Chaos, so they were often called fallen angels.

However, according to the database records of the Iron Ruins, these fallen angels only existed hundreds of thousands of years ago. How come they appeared now?

Although Chen Shen was somewhat surprised and suspicious, he did not dare to slack off. He picked up the sniper crossbow and shot an arrow at the armored soldier. Unexpectedly, the head-shot arrow, which was powerful enough to penetrate the golden stone, seemed to be distorted and deflected by an unknown force field before it even touched the fallen angel's armor.

Of course, Chen Shen was not surprised by this, because he had recognized the origin of the thorny steel ring behind the fallen angel's head, an ancient technological creation - the force field halo, commonly known as the iron halo.

The force field halo, or iron halo, can provide the wearer with a layer of deflection force field protection, deflecting the direction of vector impacts above the limit of power.

To be precise, the protective effect of the iron halo is also limited.

For example, it is not immune to close-range slashing by cold weapons because the vector impact of the slashing cannot trigger the deflection field; and vector attacks that exceed the load of the deflection field will also make the Iron Halo ineffective due to overload.

Not only were the arrows shot from the Demon Sniper Crossbow unable to do anything to the fallen angel, but even when Chen Shen abandoned the crossbow and used his psychic power to release lightning, he was still unable to break through the protection of the iron halo, and countless lightning bolts were deflected.

If Chen Shen tried to consume a lot of his spiritual energy, he might be able to overload the opponent's protective force field. But even if he eventually killed the fallen angel, it would not be a blessing for Chen Shen.

Especially in this environment where wolves are everywhere, a psychic who has exhausted his psychic energy is no different from fish on a chopping board. Therefore, if Chen Shen wants to kill his opponent, resorting to close combat is undoubtedly the best choice.

The fallen angel on the opposite side had the same idea. Even though it was also a psychic, in front of Chen Shen, even the powerful Grand Secretary had to seek death. It also did not think that it could be better than the Grand Secretary in terms of psychic power.

Thus, the two opponents with the same idea threw away the things that were in the way and charged at the same time with spears and halberds.

When the two sides rushed to the front, Chen Shen found that he was much shorter than the fallen angel. Of course, compared with the Bull Demon Lord, he was nothing but a dwarf compared to a giant.

Chen Shen was not surprised by this. The reason was very simple. The eight opponents before him were basically of the same size and they all crushed Chen Shen.

That is to say, Chen Shen had acquired the skills of Lord Shen Yang before. He had extraordinary physical strength, but he was able to kill countless people with his short and powerful body.

It was the same at this time. The spears and halberds collided with each other as soon as they met, but they were evenly matched.

Chen Shen held the spear in his hand and felt the opponent's indestructible power at the first blow, which was not much inferior to that of the Bull Demon Lord.

Of course, this is the power of mechanics and technology that the fallen angel unleashes with the help of the power armor on his body, which is different from the physical brute force of the Bull Demon Lord.

But for Chen Shen, this kind of opponent is more difficult to deal with than the Bull Demon Lord, because the fallen angel has power armor that is comparable to tank armor.

He poked the armor with the Liquan Spear, but it was like an iron needle piercing a steel shield, and it could not hurt it at all.

Chen Shen also tried to use all his strength, and even used his spiritual energy to stab out a decisive shot, but he didn't expect that the shot actually broke the speed of sound and was then distorted and deflected by the deflection field of the iron halo.

As a result, Chen Shen fell into a very embarrassing situation. His spear's static armor-piercing ability was insufficient. If he tried to add enough kinetic energy to it to penetrate the armor, it would trigger a deflection force field.

But the fallen angel is different. His body is covered with steel, so if he punches or kicks hard enough, it will be enough to kill Chen Shen. Not to mention the power halberd he uses, which has its own decomposition force field and is truly an indestructible weapon.

Chen Shen's only advantage at this time was that his body was more flexible than his opponent. However, no matter how agile he was, it would be useless if he could not hurt his opponent.

And this is a natural reality.

If the eight evil demons before him had not died, how could they have fully understood Chen Shen's abilities and then sent out such an opponent who was a natural nemesis of Chen Shen?
The evil demons of the Wanbian family have always treated human heroes in this way.
