Chapter 1373: Chapter 1366: Tunnel Ambush

"I have a question," Cheng Ziang said.

"Speak!" Yunji nodded.

"Have you ever used such tactics before?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"No," Yunji answered, "that passage was meant for the residents of the city to escape, not for attacking the city. It’s just that this time the Dongsheng army attacked, we were well prepared, and the residents of Big South East Peace had all been evacuated. So we sealed off the tunnel to prevent the Dongsheng army from discovering it."

"Pretty self-aware," Cheng Ziang said in Chinese to Hu Daoke, it was unclear whether he was being sarcastic. Finally, he looked at Yunji and asked, "So, I suppose this thing can only be used once?"

"Yes, I hope it’s the first and last time," Yunji gently nodded in confirmation, answering indifferently.

Leaving the tent, the two were on their way back when Cheng Ziang elbowed Hu Daoke and blinked, asking, "Old Hu, got any ideas?"

"What kind of ideas?" Hu Daoke was taken aback.

"To go in!" Cheng Ziang gestured with a twinkle in his eye.

"The boss said we shouldn’t get involved in the battle..." Hu Daoke said, although he couldn’t help feeling a bit tempted.

"Is whatever Luo’er says always right? He’s not at the front lines right now, what’s there to be afraid of?" Cheng Ziang said.

"But you’re the Deputy Captain..." Hu Daoke spoke somewhat speechlessly.

"Is that all you know about me now, that I’m the Deputy Captain?" Seeing Hu Daoke’s reaction, Cheng Ziang dropped his gestures, looking at him displeased.

"But, just the three of us, is that enough?" Hu Daoke took a deep breath, his heart rate starting to accelerate.

"You’re wrong; it’s four of us, and two are skilled hands," Cheng Ziang said, motioning to him, "Look, Feng is a cultivator, and I have Liseya as a safety net. Plus, we have Yuanzi weapons, so we should be able to put up a fight, right?"

"Hiss..." Hearing his suggestion, Hu Daoke’s face flushed red, and finally pointing at him, he said, "If something goes wrong, you can’t say I stirred this up."

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’ll cover for you!" Cheng Ziang patted his chest and said.

The two cheerfully returned to where they were staying, and upon meeting Feng who was bored and daydreaming, they explained the situation to her, and she too became excited.

Although Feng had Kyushu heritage, she did not identify as a Kyushu person but rather continued to consider herself a person of the Western Continent. Especially after joining the Advance Team, she saw herself as a member of the team, distinct from the others.

Because of this, she felt no emotion regarding the joys and sorrows of the Kyushu people. As long as they were her enemies, she showed no mercy.

The tunnel had been cleaned out, and the attack was set for the evening of the seventh day. Yunji had her hesitations about Cheng Ziang and his team’s request to join the battle, but in the end, she agreed to their request.

Deep down, she always believed that these Western Continent people should be able to exercise greater advantages, rather than just be known for their empty talk every day. Although Linglan repeatedly emphasized trying not to let Western Continent people participate in the battle, it was just a suggestion, not a prohibition, so in principle, it was permissible for Western Continent people to help the Demon Clan fight.

Taking advantage of the preparation time, Cheng Ziang and his two companions began to study the map of Big South East Peace’s city and volunteered to take part in the Decapitation Action, intending to kill all the commanding officers of the defending army, thereby disintegrating the resistance within the city.

The plan set, on the evening of the seventh day, the Demon Clan’s firepower became intensely concentrated as they attacked the city. A large number of Fragmentation Grenades flew over the city walls and exploded within, causing continuous explosions in the city, with gunpowder smoke filling the air over the entire city.

At this moment, the Demon Clan army had already dismantled the inner walls and installed bombs on the outer walls, preparing to blow open the wall directly. The dense bombardment outside the city was to cover this explosion operation.

Since the operation was conducted at night, the participants were mostly from the Demon Clan, to avoid friendly fire incidents. Moreover, they tied very obvious red arm bands on their arms, serving as devices to distinguish friend from foe.

With a roar, the tunnel was filled with dust, and once the dust settled, the Demon Clan Assault Team slowly approached the entrance and found that a large hole had been blasted open. The tunnel’s entrance was located in the courtyard of a house, and the outer wall was also the courtyard’s boundary wall.

After completing the blasting, Cheng Ziang and his people, along with a group of Demon Clan soldiers, went straight for the Chief mansion of the defending army. At this time, the bombardment points of the Demon Clan’s artillery had primarily shifted to the city walls, partly to draw the attention of the defenders and partly to avoid injuring their own people.

Big South Dongan City was very large, and the streets were exceptionally wide, almost comparable to the main roads of first and second-tier cities on Earth. Cheng Ziang and two others proceeded quickly with their weapons, and soon, they encountered a Patrol Team of more than twenty people.

Without thinking, the three of them raised their weapons and fired, the continuous roar of their automatic weapons rang out, and the near Patrol Team was instantly covered by the Yuanzi Group, shattered into pieces in a gruesome scene.

Without considering the power, the Yuanzi weapons were too bloody, something that the research department had not anticipated during testing. As long as it hit the body, wherever it hit, there would be blood stains everywhere.

The Demon Clan soldiers following them stared dumbfounded at the sight, the three people from Western Continent just stood there and fired, annihilating the twenty-odd Patrol Team instantly, such terrifying combat power instilled a sense of fear towards these three from Western Continent.

After eliminating these defenders, the group continued their advance. It seemed that the gunfire had attracted more defending troops; just after turning a few street corners, they found themselves completely surrounded.

"Well, we just need to finish off these people, and no one will know we’ve infiltrated," facing the thick encirclement, Cheng Ziang appeared exceptionally excited, putting down his rifle and drawing his long saber.

"Brother, stay cool, you just need to shoot, leave this kind of thing to Little Fengye," Hu Daoke pressed on his shoulder.

Feng did not turn back, but upon hearing their words, she emotionlessly holstered her pistol and drew the long saber from her back.

At this point, the defending archers began to shoot at them, and the group hurriedly sought nearby cover, but Feng already started to make her move.

Without a General to keep her in check, she, an expert of the Royal Dao, unleashed her full potential; these defenders couldn’t hope to stop her advance.

They tried to distance themselves from Feng but were quickly met by her sword qi attacks, suffering heavy casualties and loss of life. Learning from this, the defenders swarmed forward, not expecting that this young lady was also a master of the Sword Skill, wielding her Kedal metal long sabre able to cut through iron as if it were mud, she forcefully slaughtered these heavily armored defenders like cutting down flowers in a stream.

One must understand that Feng was the junior of the Sword Saint of Western Continent, so her Sword Skill also showed the influence of Sword Saint Yalunte, which was relying on agile movements and exquisite swordplay to dodge enemy attacks and strike at their vulnerabilities.

Although she wielded a long sabre, her most used move was actually the thrust. Paired with the sharpness of the Kedal metal blade, she could pierce wherever she desired, and the thick armor could not stop her sharp edge.

After a bout of combat, these defenders realized that letting this young girl get close actually caused them greater losses, but since she was an expert of the Royal Dao, they couldn’t distance themselves from her. Under such conflicting feelings, the defenders had no choice but to face her, trying to use their numerical advantage to bog her down.

Seeing Feng surrounded by the defending troops, Hu Daoke anxiously set up his machine gun, but was immediately restrained by Cheng Ziang, "Are you crazy? Yuanzi guns are made especially for Cultivators, do you want to kill Feng?"

"What should we do, then? Feng is in danger," Hu Daoke asked anxiously.

"Shoot elsewhere, cover her fight, and prevent her from being hit by stray arrows," Cheng Ziang pointed in a direction casually.

Hu Daoke set up the light machine gun and had just fired two shots when he heard Cheng Ziang beside him draw his long sabre with a clang, charging towards Feng.

"Damn it, you’re the crazy one, hell!" Hu Daoke couldn’t catch him, cursing furiously.

Cheng Ziang, holding his sabre and running towards Feng, thought the best way to deal with these enemies was to rush forward and help alleviate her pressure. He also wanted to test how effective his painstaking Cultivation truly was.
