"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 n 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 rcenaries 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 bombardnt was not possible. As for urban guerrilla warfare, it would maximally weaken the nurical 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 mbers and the businesspeople and rchants 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 sha.
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 rcenary from the Jiaxi Family.
However, as soon as snipers revealed their position, they were t 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 rcenary Corps stood no chance against the sheer numbers of the enemy.
What they could only rely on was for so good news to co quickly from Yang Yu!
Inside the Jiaxi Family premises in Sant City,
Yang Yu and Vitas’ nine swordsn were still engaged in a fierce battle, neither side gaining the upper hand.
However, Yang Yu had been cut several tis, 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 . I always feel he has so special techniques he hasn’t used yet. You better call back all your n 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 n. Otherwise, all our efforts during this ti would be wasted," Jiaxi retorted with a snort. "I’ve worked hard to beco 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 !" Jiaxi’s face darkened as he halted the old wizard, "Mr. Rousey, just do what you are supposed to do. Don’t ddle 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 forr 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 ti! Blood sacrifice!" Yang Yu slashed his own arm with the sword, and his blood instantly rged into the blade, making the Heavenly Punishnt Sword flash with dazzling red light.
The next mont, the bloodstains on the ground and the red light of the sword beca one, enveloping Yang Yu within.
The simultaneous strikes from the nine Swordsn 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 Punishnt 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 Punishnt Sword aside, but Yang Yu quickly followed up, reclaid the Heavenly Punishnt 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 tallic collisions rang out along with nurous 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, eting his bitter end!
Without any delay, Yang Yu continued to charge further inside.
Although there were still so 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 ca 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 ti for him to die.
"Out of my way!" Yang Yu growled, swinging his sword at Old Rousey!
