Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Misjudgment

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Jiaxi Family’s main force continued to bombard the defensive formation with cannon fire, and more and more cracks appeared on the Xuanwu Stone Statue.

"Black Python, how much longer must we keep bombarding?" asked a few other leaders, growing impatient. "Our cannonballs are almost used up."

"Based on my understanding of the Feng Shui Array, it shouldn’t take too long," Black Python said. "I think it should be enough. Let’s wait until all cannonballs are fired."

The others had no choice; they certainly couldn’t sacrifice the lives of their men by sending them in blindly, so they followed Black Python’s orders.

"Leader, we can’t just sit and wait for death!" suggested one of the subordinates. "Let’s fight our way out!"

"Yang Yu has ordered that unless the formation is broken, we must not go out," Rena said with a grave expression, still placing her trust in Yang Yu. "Hang in there a little longer..."

Boom!

With a violent shake, the Xuanwu Stone Statue burst, and the great array was broken!

"Just perfect!" Black Python was overjoyed, and with a grand wave of his hand, he ordered, "Kill them all!"

Nearly eight hundred mercenaries surged toward Qingye Town, and Rena’s expression changed drastically: "Retreat!"

Rena’s main force pulled back into the town and dispersed in all directions.

Since the enemy’s cannonballs were most likely also nearly expended, a large-scale bombardment was not possible. As for urban guerrilla warfare, it would maximally weaken the numerical advantage of the enemy – it was their only option.

"Let’s retreat to the very back of the town," Tu Sha suggested, pushing Chou Hongfei’s wheelchair to a clearing at the rear of the town, where the injured squad members and the businesspeople and merchants from Xia had already been arranged to stay.

This area at the back of the town was backed by a cliff with no routes for retreat, and their only protection was Tu Sha.

Tu Sha stood at the breach of this clearing. Though his figure was frail, the powerful aura he emitted made people feel as if he embodied the spirit of "one man holds the pass against ten thousand".

Tu Sha could have left on his own, but instead, he chose to stay behind to protect everyone.

Thinking of how they had previously considered handing Tu Sha over in exchange for their own safety, the crowd felt a wave of shame.

Chou Hongfei was right; they were a bunch of selfish bastards!

Qingye Town entered guerrilla warfare mode. Due to the ruins scattered all over the town, hiding was easy. Occasionally, a sniper shot would kill a mercenary from the Jiaxi Family.

However, as soon as snipers revealed their position, they were met with a barrage of gunfire, and then blood would spill out from the ruins.

This was the advantage of having more troops. With little difference in firepower, the Rena Mercenary Corps stood no chance against the sheer numbers of the enemy.

What they could only rely on was for some good news to come quickly from Yang Yu!

Inside the Jiaxi Family premises in Sant City,

Yang Yu and Vitas’ nine swordsmen were still engaged in a fierce battle, neither side gaining the upper hand.

However, Yang Yu had been cut several times, droplets of his blood scattered sporadically on the ground.

Seeing this, Jiaxi breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems Yang Yu isn’t as formidable as they say. After all, he can’t even get past Vitas."

The old Wizard beside him had a solemn expression: "Family Head, don’t forget, this guy is a wizard just like me. I always feel he has some special techniques he hasn’t used yet. You better call back all your men from the various cities as soon as possible!"

"I just conquered this region; there are other forces in each city opposing us. It’s not easy to call back all my men. Otherwise, all our efforts during this time would be wasted," Jiaxi retorted with a snort. "I’ve worked hard to become the overlord of this land without a master; how can I give up so easily?"

The old Wizard shook his head, still unable to relax: "Family Head, compared to your life, everything else is trivial..."

"Shut up! It’s not your place to lecture me!" Jiaxi’s face darkened as he halted the old wizard, "Mr. Rousey, just do what you are supposed to do. Don’t meddle in other matters!"

"Yes, Family Head," Old Rousey sighed and said no more, exiting Jiaxi’s room.

Jiaxi continued to watch the confrontation with a smug smile on his face, "This Sword Formation has been passed down for hundreds of years, it was the secret technique of the King’s Guard."

"Vitas and the other eight have all undergone gene modification, and their strength far surpasses that of the former King’s Guard. The nine of them working together and this kid from Xia Country might as well say goodbye to his life! What’s going on?"

The smile disappeared from Jiaxi’s face, replaced with disbelief, "What kind of move is this kid using?"

"It’s time! Blood sacrifice!" Yang Yu slashed his own arm with the sword, and his blood instantly merged into the blade, making the Heavenly Punishment Sword flash with dazzling red light.

The next moment, the bloodstains on the ground and the red light of the sword became one, enveloping Yang Yu within.

The simultaneous strikes from the nine Swordsmen were blocked by this layer of red light, unable to advance a single bit!

"Break!" With a shout from Yang Yu, eight sword shadows erupted from the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand, shooting out together with the sword itself!

Clang!

Vitas blocked the attack with his sword, but his body, along with his sword, was sent flying, blood spraying out: "Puh—"

The other eight weren’t so fortunate; the eight sword shadows pierced through their hearts without resistance, killing them instantly.

Vitas forcefully knocked the Heavenly Punishment Sword aside, but Yang Yu quickly followed up, reclaimed the Heavenly Punishment Sword, and stabbed toward Vitas again.

"Moon Flower!" Vitas bellowed as he sent his curved sword whirling out.

In an instant, the spinning curved sword multiplied into countless sword images, akin to a cascade of falling leaves and flowers, dazzling the eyes!

Clang clang clang clang...

In just one second, a succession of dense metallic collisions rang out along with numerous sword glints and shadows.

When the sword glints and shadows dispersed, Yang Yu had already appeared in front of Vitas, running him through the heart with a sword!

Vitas looked at his own chest in disbelief.

He was the top bodyguard of the Jiaxi Family, so strong, with modified genes, and eight others joining forces with him. How could he still end up dying at the hands of this young man?

As if understanding Vitas’ astonished gaze, Yang Yu said indifferently, "You’re just not strong enough."

Splurt!

Yang Yu withdrew his sword, and Jiaxi collapsed to the ground, meeting his bitter end!

Without any delay, Yang Yu continued to charge further inside.

Although there were still some bodyguards blocking the way, those ordinary guards were no longer able to stop Yang Yu.

Whirr whirr whirr...

The sound of a helicopter taking off came from behind the villa; Yang Yu hurried forward, but was stopped by Old Rousey, "You won’t harm our Family Head!"

Yang Yu couldn’t understand the local language. He only knew that this old man was obstructing him, so it was time for him to die.

"Out of my way!" Yang Yu growled, swinging his sword at Old Rousey!
