Beihai City, Beiguankou.
Commander Jin, in charge of city defense, stood on the city gate tower, gazing through binoculars. His expression gradually turned grim, and finally, he showed a look of panic.
Through the binoculars’ view.
In the distance, a vast expanse of armored vehicles, armed off-road vehicles, and troop carriers stretched as far as the eye could see, an astonishing number. The army was estimated to be at least fifty to sixty thousand strong.
“Damn it, this is too strange.”
Commander Jin lowered the binoculars, his trembling hand dropping the cigarette butt. He yelled at the communications officer, “Continue contacting the other side. We must confirm their identity!”
“Reporting, Division Commander, we’ve been requesting communication all along, but the other side simply isn’t responding to us.”
“This is uncanny!”
Commander Jin was genuinely nervous. The defenders at Beiguankou numbered less than thirty thousand. The opposing force was nearly sixty thousand, all fully armed mechanized infantry, and they refused to communicate. What were they planning?
Inside Sihai Manor.
The two battlefields were still fiercely engaged.
On the east side, after three rounds of continuous concentrated attacks, over a thousand elite troops from the Chu family’s special forces retreated again. The defensive capabilities of Lei Guoan’s guards were simply too formidable.
More importantly.
The combat power of the Asura Gate was terrifyingly fierce!
Jiang Xiaoyao alone dared to contend with over a hundred people. Her dozen or so subordinates, using only swords, had already slain no less than two hundred of the special forces.
What kind of strength was this?
This was monstrous strength!
“Officer, should we continue the attack?”
A company commander shouted to a regimental commander.
“Damn it, it’s like fighting ghosts!”
The regimental commander in charge of the operation cursed furiously, “I’ve never found it this difficult fighting against regular troops. Are all the people from the Asura Gate perverts? Don’t they fear death?”
“Regimental Commander, not only do the people from the Asura Gate not fear death, they are downright lunatics. They charge into our ranks with swords, slashing at anyone they see. Our guns are useless against them.”
“Launch one more assault.”
The regimental commander roared his order.
Just then, the front lines suddenly erupted into chaos. First, there were shouts, followed by screams, and many soldiers were running back.
“What’s going on?”
The regimental commander asked in astonishment.
“Report—”
A communications soldier rushed over, panting heavily, and reported, “Reporting, Regimental Commander, the people from the Asura Gate are charging! Their offensive is too fierce, and our men simply cannot hold them back.”
“They dare to launch a frontal assault?”
“Yes, they’ve truly gone mad!”
“How many people are there?”
“Three people!”
“What did you say?”
The regimental commander’s eyes widened, and he yelled in exasperation, “Only three people dare to charge my elite troops? Damn it, surround them! We must chop them to pieces.”
“Yes!”
The communications soldier immediately relayed the order.
At this moment, the front lines of the Chu family army’s special forces had already devolved into utter chaos. A large number of fleeing soldiers were running back, their movements extremely dishevelled, like a pack of stray dogs.
“Too terrifying!”
“Damn it, that woman is a pervert.”
“Can’t fight them, let’s run…”
The soldiers of the special forces were inherently of high caliber, but when they encountered Jiang Xiaoyao, they were like mice facing a cat. Not only were they unable to attack, but none dared to even approach.
Amidst the chaotic fleeing troops.
Jiang Xiaoyao, her Hanfu stained with blood, along with Jasmine and Old Vine, three people with three swords, were chasing hundreds of regular soldiers. The scene was incredibly surreal?!
“Jasmine, Old Vine, focus on disruption. Continue your assault while ensuring your safety. If you can’t cut through, at least instill terror in them.”
“Yes!”
Jasmine and Old Vine shouted in unison.
In the blink of an eye, the not-so-young couple split into two paths, one to the left and one to the right, like two fierce tigers, they plunged into the fleeing crowd.
A burst of bullets flew towards Jiang Xiaoyao.
She easily dodged them.
“You dare to shoot at me from the shadows?”
A flash of crimson figure, and Jiang Xiaoyao gracefully lunged towards a soldier. She didn’t even draw her sword, but simply raised her left hand and swiped at the soldier’s head.
*Slap!*
*Pfft—*
First, there was a crisp crack.
Then, a burst of bloody mist erupted.
The Chu family special forces soldier who failed to shoot her from the shadows had his head blown off, yes, with a single slap from a woman, a person’s head was sent flying.
The head landed in the crowd.
And was instinctively grabbed by another soldier.
“Oh my god, aahhh!”
After a moment of stunned silence, the soldier holding the head hurled it into the sky with a flick of his wrist, then turned and fled, his cries hoarse.
“Die for me!”
Jiang Xiaoyao suddenly accelerated, like a swift wind.
With a horizontal slash.
The fleeing soldier was cut in half!
*Swish, swish, swish…*
Jiang Xiaoyao continued her relentless assault, delivering over a dozen more strikes. A dozen fleeing soldiers were cut down, blood mist filled the air, and the scene was terrifying, completely shattering the morale of the Chu family army.
“It’s a ghost!”
“Oh god, don’t kill me.”
“Help!”
With piercing screams, gunfire erupted sporadically within the special forces. By this point, no one cared if they hit their own men. They fired at any red figure they saw.
Amidst the chaotic fleeing soldiers.
Jiang Xiaoyao floated gracefully.
Her overall demeanor did not exude killing intent, but her speed and killing techniques were perversely terrifying. Anyone who got close to her was almost certainly doomed.
Under a barrage of indiscriminate gunfire.
Jiang Xiaoyao remained completely unharmed.
However, a large number of her own men fell.
The thousand-strong special forces brigade was thoroughly routed by Jiang Xiaoyao and her two companions. This demonstrated that the Asura Gate’s status as the number one sect in Beihai City was by no means an empty reputation.
Jiang Xiaoyao, when she didn’t act, was one thing.
But when she acted, it was earth-shattering!
Behind the fleeing troops, the regimental commander completely broke down. He simply couldn't comprehend how his over a thousand regular troops had been beaten into such a pathetic state. Did none of them dare to attack?
“No retreats! Anyone who retreats, I’ll shoot them.”
The regimental commander roared, raising his pistol.
“Go to hell!”
“The Chu family are traitors.”
“The Chu family are collaborators.”
“Brothers, stop sacrificing yourselves.”
“That’s right, it’s not worth it!”
The guards surrounding the regimental commander collectively chose to mutiny. Instead of following their commander to control the fleeing soldiers, they raised their weapons and aimed them at their superior.
“What are you doing?”
The regimental commander yelled in disbelief.
“Division Commander, we don’t want to rebel.”
“That’s right, I don’t want to be a traitor.”
Two commanding officers led the cry.
“Damn it, I’ll shoot you!”
*Tuk tuk tuk!*
*Tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk…*
Before the regimental commander could fire, the guards collectively opened fire. String after string of bullets were fired at their regimental commander at close range, instantly riddling him with holes!
“The Regimental Commander is dead!”
“Run!!!”
“I won’t be a traitor.”
After personally killing their superior, some company-level officers led a large-scale retreat. Some were simply terrified, while others genuinely did not want to be traitors.
Throughout history, traitors have never met a good end!
Western Battlefield.
With the addition of Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke, Chu Nantian’s army was also experiencing a widespread collapse. The unidentified soldiers and generals led by the bearded man once again launched a counter-charge against the Chu family army.
“Charge in and save the Commander!”
Amidst the chaotic crowd, Chu Nantian, who had been made to look like a ghost by Tang Keke, issued his ferocious command. He held a machine gun, ready to shoot any of his subordinates who faltered.
At this moment.
Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke ran to the back entrance.
“Brother Xiao.”
“Good day, Brother Xiao.”
“Brother Xiao is here.”
A large group of young hooligans greeted them respectfully.
“Where is Young Master Leng?”
“Here!”
With a call from Ye Zixiao, the toughest guy from the Big North Gate rushed over. He gave Ye Zixiao a proper salute and shouted, “Brother, please give me my combat mission.”
“Don’t call me Brother, call me Commander.”
“Huh? What!”
“Young Master Leng, I now declare that you and your men are officially incorporated into the Dragon Country’s First Civilian Protective Army. I now appoint you as the Commander of the First Independent Regiment, concurrently as Chief of Staff.”
“Huh?!!!”
Young Master Leng was completely stunned.
