Chapter 409 The Punch in Fire
Late at night, August 7.
In the darkest night before dawn, while everyone was wondering what would happen when the Snowdance Corps entered Eastern Europe, the capital of Wulan State, Recchi City, had been plunged into chaos that had never been seen in decades.
A large number of elites of the Jiang family of South Arica were stationed here.
So the strongest experts of the Snowdance Corps also appeared here.
No one expected Zhongzhou State to move so quickly and without warning.
A few hours ago, Eastern Europe remained a depressing backwater, with only occasional waves. And with the arrival of the Snowdance Corps, the wind did not rise, and the clouds did not surge. In the calm without wind and waves, a sudden downpour of rain ca in a flash. Sudden, violent, fierce, and ruthless. Revenge ca so quickly and without warning.
The list of higher-ups of the Snowdance Corps was no secret to the dark forces.
Therefore, as soon as the Snowdance Corps appeared in Ey, so major forces in Eastern Europe had already noticed that there were several heavyweights missing in the Snowdance Corps.
But Li Tianlan appeared before everyone.
So no one would think much about it.
Thus, when everyone thought sothing was amiss but couldn’t say what was wrong, the fiercest revenge of the Snowdance Corps against the Jiang family of South Arica directly started in Recchi City.
Li Tianlan was moving.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud were moving.
Yin and Yang Sword Master and Phantom Sword Master were moving as well.
The Jiang family of South Arica was also moving in a military base east of Recchi City.
Nearly 800 elite troops from the Jiang family of South Arica were stationed in east, west, north, and south of Recchi City. Three directions were attacked tonight. After receiving the distress signal from the resort in the west of the city, without hesitation, Jiang Siyu from the Jiang family of South Arica, the man at the wheel in the west of the city, began to gather hands, ready to rescue.
Jiang Siyu was in his forties. He had no code na or reputation in the Dark World. But as a master cultivated by the Jiang family of South Arica, his status in the family was not at all low. In terms of blood relationship, he was the cousin of Patriarch Jiang Qiansong of the Jiang family. His relationship with Jiang Qiansong was closer than that between Jiang Qiannian and Jiang Qiansong. He was a genuine lineal descendant.
This ti, the Jiang family of South Arica entered Eastern Europe with nearly two thousand elites. It was a vanguard unit that opened up the situation in Eastern Europe. If Jiang Qiannian was a well-deserved top leader of this unit, Jiang Siyu was the second in command of this vanguard unit.
His strength was diocre among the Half-step Invincible Realm experts. But he was definitely a guy who was hard to deal with. His fighting ability was not outstanding, but he was an expert in defense.
That was why Jiang Siyu still dared to support his n in the west of the city when he knew that the raiders were Cool Breeze, Drifting Cloud, Yin and Yang Sword Master, and Phantom Sword Master from Zhongzhou State.
Of course, he was no match for the four, even in defense.
But at the mont, the 200 n who were stationed with him at the military base in the eastern part of the city were the most elite ones that the Jiang family of South Arica had put in Eastern Europe this ti. With such a lineup, even if he could not win, he could at least buy so ti, facing the four from Zhongzhou State.
Recchi City was the ho base of the Rekvia family.
The cooperation between Rekvia and the Jiang family of South Arica had always been close, so at this ti, Recchi City could also be regarded as the ho base of the Jiang family of South Arica.
The city in chaos was now like a net.
The Jiang family of South Arica stood at the top of the net and could see the big picture clearly.
The two Highnesses of Sigh City had left.
Commander Li Tianlan of the Snowdance Corps pinned down Jiang Qiannian recklessly.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud.
Yin and Yang Sword Master and Phantom Sword Master.
Two top assassins who were no less formidable than Half-step Invincible Realm experts, plus two Half-step Invincible Realm Sword Masters of Mount Shu, Zhongzhou State, were massacring other elite troops of the Jiang family of South Arica stationed in Recchi City.
Everything was clear.
Jiang Siyu knew the strength of Jiang Qiannian well.
In this year’s ranking of Holy List, Jiang Qiannian ranked fifth. With his strength, if he tried his best to kill a young man in the Invincible Realm, he would do it all without taking up to 20 minutes.
The distance between the east of the city and the west of the city was a little closer than the distance between the west of the city and Jiang Qiannian’s location, about ten minutes’ journey.
In other words, as long as his n could hold up the four experts from Zhongzhou State for half an hour, Jiang Qiannian, who killed Li Tianlan, would rush to the west of the city.
At that ti, the four experts of Zhongzhou Snowdance Corps would face the prowess of the Jiang family of South Arica!
Jiang Siyu organized his thoughts, and his smile was a bit distorted during the assembly of elites of the Jiang family of South Arica.
The Snowdance Corps acted decisively and ruthlessly.
The revenge ca quickly.
First ca Sigh City, then the Snowdance Corps. The two consecutive slaps were crisp and loud.
But it didn’t end there.
If the commander and the two deputy commanders of the Snowdance Corps died tonight, who would be smacked in the face?
Considering all the possible variables, he suddenly said, “Sobody, go and fetch General Kreso.”
Kreso was the supre officer of this military base nad Flyer. As an old general in his fifties, he beca firr as he grew old and was the trusted subordinate of the Rekvia family. Although Wulan State was the second-largest country in Europe after Snow Country, its military was in relative disarray, notably the setting of so sensitive departnts, which made people feel neither fish nor fowl.
The military base nad Flyer was stationed in the suburbs of the capital. Its duties were similar to those of the security forces of Zhongzhou State, but its responsibilities on the surface were sowhat ambiguous. But anyway, the military base had the most elite troops of Wulan State stationed in it. Tonight, if Jiang Siyu could team up with Flyer, the military was strong enough to crush most of the uncertainties.
Since the Snowdance Corps only targeted the Jiang family of South Arica, it would be difficult for Wulan State to dispatch troops.
But General Kreso was the trusted subordinate of the Rekvia family. In a country where the Army Headquarters was full of inside stories, as long as General Kreso nodded, the army in this military base could rush into every corner of Recchi City as quickly as possible.
Jiang Siyu didn’t have to send for General Kreso at all.
Before Jiang Siyu’s man left his sight, an old general in a military uniform with gray hair had already strode over.
The Jiang family of South Arica was directly stationed in the military base of Wulan State, which was enough to explain the intimacy between the Jiang family of South Arica and the Rekvia family. At this point, the Jiang family of South Arica was attacked. Of course, the Rekvia family had no reason to remain silent.
Therefore, in view of the fact that the Rekvia family had just deposited two million euros in his account, the old general, who had less than two years left in office, faced Jiang Siyu and ca straight to the point. “Mr. Jiang, if the Jiang family needs help, the Flyer is willing to provide military support.”
Military support and fire support were sotis two concepts.
At least, in this case, they were different concepts.
At a ti when the threat was not great enough to threaten the survival of his country, no general dared to issue an order to bombard his capital. Even if the general wanted to go crazy, the two million euros that Rekvia had just deposited into his account was not enough to support his madness. So the military support he provided was, at best, manpower support.
“That’s great.”
Jiang Siyu smiled happily. His appearance was ordinary, and his eyes were a little small. When he smiled, his eyes almost narrowed into slits. But faint sharpness was revealed from his squinted eyes. He looked at the old general in a military uniform and said softly, “It’s just your clothes...”
“This is our land. Our soldiers have the right to wear military uniforms.”
General Kreso’s expression was serious and majestic. “At present, a group of thugs has brought a very great threat to the security of Recchi City. Mr. Schenker of the Rekvia family believes that our army should appear at this point. That will increase public confidence.”
It was undoubtedly a load of nonsense that sounded interesting but actually didn’t make any sense. However, Jiang Siyu listened with great interest. When the old general finished speaking, he finally couldn’t help laughing and even gave a military salute of Wulan State. “I admire the bravery of your military. It’s sothing that many governnts lack.”
The elites of the Jiang family of South Arica had been assembled.
More than a dozen military trucks rumbled over. In the night, the lights of trucks were on, and the bright beams passed through the darkness, illuminating the deepest night before dawn.
“That’s my job,” General Kreso said calmly and then waved his hand.
...
The elites of the Jiang family of South Arica and those in the Flyer began to move at the sa ti. Swift and vigorous, they rushed into the trucks one by one.
The old general made an invitation gesture.
Jiang Siyu shrugged and followed him to the truck at the forefront.
The general drove in person.
The March of Charge of Wulan State sounded inside the base. More than a dozen trucks full of combatants roared out of the base in the night to the sound of the passionate music.
Money was power.
The euro in particular.
This power inspired General Kreso’s infinite lofty sentints. In the roars of engines, he seed to think of the many eventful years of his military career. His face was solemn and serious. The truck was galloping forward at his command.
And it then turned left.
Outside the base was a narrow, flat path with a pronounced slope.
Although it was not suitable for such a road to be built outside a military base, it did have extraordinary military significance.
Under the leadership of the old general, more than a dozen trucks swooped all the way down, getting faster and faster. Seen from a distance, they looked like a group of mad oxen rushing down the hillside in the night.
The further down the trucks went, the steeper the slope.
The light illuminated the flat road in the distance.
Inside the truck, high-spirited and vigorous, the general was telling Jiang Siyu heroic deeds of his military career.
Wulan State had the second-largest territory in Europe after Snow Country, but in history, it had continuously been turbulent. The chaotic financial order and the breaking-in of military and political systems had problems that were not fatal but could not be ignored. In a sense, the Rekvia family, based in Wulan State, was ranked as one of the top four influential families in Eastern Europe, but it was not a top influential family in Europe. It had sothing to do with the overall environnt of Wulan State.
In such a country where even the establishnt of the Special Warfare System had been controversial, the power and responsibilities of soldiers, especially senior ones, were sowhat vague. Kreso was an old general, so he had a lot of rits and achievents to show off.
Jiang Siyu listened to him with respect and occasionally chid in. But his mind was already sketching out plans after tonight.
The two Highnesses of Sigh City had left.
They were caught off guard by Li Tianlan tonight, but when they reacted to that, there was little chance that they would fail with their strength.
Did that an that the Jiang family of South Arica could restart their plan to plot against Samsara Palace three years ago?
Today’s Samsara Palace had shrunk a lot compared to the one three years ago, but Li Tianlan’s status was also extraordinary. If they controlled Li Tianlan, Qin Weibai would be the possession of the Jiang family, and the remaining power of Samsara Palace would also join in. Moreover, they could retrieve the Legend of Qin—the murderous weapon that they lost three years ago, possess the Blue Sky Underworld, and indirectly influence Zhongzhou State...
In the dim car, Jiang Siyu’s pupils gradually glowed.
Kreso drove, and Jiang Siyu sat.
One was looking back.
The other was looking ahead.
In a trance, a thin figure seed to appear in the path that was coming to an end.
The truck was tall.
The figure was thin and dried-up. Standing in the middle of the road alone, the figure was like a blade of grass.
Jiang Siyu glanced at it at random and was about to ignore it when he realized that there really was a man standing there.
He suddenly focused his eyes on it.
In his sight, it seed to be an old man, with pale white, scarce hair. He was bent over. It was a humble gesture, but as the truck swooped down, he tilted his head slightly and frowned.
Indescribable fierceness and fury overwheld them in the twinkling of an eye, and for a mont, it almost filled the whole car.
The truck rolled over.
Jiang Siyu saw the old man’s face.
A face that was a little old but very strange.
Jiang Siyu frowned.
“Crunch!”
Before he could speak, the brake screeched.
The trail had a steep slope. With the braking capacity of a truck, such braking was a disaster. But Kreso didn’t seem to realize it. He stared at the old man in the middle of the road, and his pupils enlarged. His face, which had turned ruddy due to his lofty sentints, gradually lost its luster and beca pale and then ghastly pale.
The speeding truck barely ca to a stop within twenty ters of the old man. The glaring light shone on the old man’s face.
But the trucks behind crashed together one after another because the brakes were too slow to react. The lights trembled in the collisions, dull bangs were heard, and General Kreso’s body began to tremble.
“#%... &&&* ...*”
The general opened his mouth, but he only uttered so very vague and ambiguous syllables. His face was extrely complicated, but in the end, it turned into pure fear.
At this mont, the old general suddenly rembered an oriental term.
Karma.
He felt like he was being punished.
Just five minutes ago, he was sitting in a truck and talking to Jiang Siyu about his great achievents many years ago. In his bragging, he ntioned the Arctic Ocean Command of Zhongzhou State. He spoke of how he prevailed over all dissenting views and even went to war with Zhongzhou State to defeat the Li family that was very influential at that ti when the Arctic Ocean Command planned to station troops in Wulan State.
Jiang Siyu did not refute this, although he knew very well that the reason why the Arctic Ocean Command did not establish a garrison base in Wulan State was entirely because of the opposition of Snow Country and many European powers, which had nothing to do with Wulan State.
...
But Kreso was happy.
When he bragged about this, he had no idea that he would et, a few minutes later, the man who had led the armies of Zhongzhou State into Wulan State.
More than 20 years ago, when the Arctic Ocean Command was established, the two Highnesses of the Li family, who were very influential in Zhongzhou State at the ti, went to Eastern Europe.
That ant the confrontations between the Li family and the major forces as well as the various powers in Europe. There were wars and gas in such clashes. In the battle of that year, in addition to the two Highnesses of the Li family, there were also so equally outstanding figures.
The one who appeared before him at this ti could barely be regarded as one of the protagonists who laid the foundation of the Arctic Ocean Command.
He had set out from Ey with 600 elite of the Li family. In one day and one night, along the way, he had passed through the borders of three countries, repelled the resistance of several superpowers, covered the distance of hundreds of kiloters, and directly rushed into Wulan State!
When countless experts in the Fire-flaming Realm, Thunder-shocking Realm, and even Half-step Invincible Realm turned into a bloody rain in front of him, the 600 elite was like an irresistible wildfire that could sweep through almost the entire Wulan State.
At that ti, General Kreso was still very young, and the person in front of him was also very young.
After a lapse of many years, seeing that person again, General Kreso almost thought he was hallucinating for a mont.
That face had changed a little bit, getting older and more worn out, and his body was no longer upright. But when the killing intent rose on him, the familiar feeling overwheld General Kreso. Everything seed to have happened yesterday.
The old man who blocked the entire road in front of the vehicle alone frowned and looked at the motorcade before him. He didn’t have any familiar feelings or emotions about all this in front of him.
The killing intent kept rising on him, growing stronger.
His spirits seed to have peaked in an instant.
Kreso shuddered violently. Instinctively, he almost crawled out of the truck and ran back.
The high volu driven by the Thunder-shocking Realm expert rang through the night sky, and the command was simple and straightforward. “The Flyer, retreat! Retreat!!!”
The shrill voice spread through the darkness.
In the chaos, the old man seed to take a step forward.
He still did not recognize the old general who was prominent in Wulan State. When he ca to the city again, he did not have the feeling of revisiting the old haunt.
He didn’t like it back then.
Eastern Europe was too cold to be a habitat of mortals. He took a deep breath and seed to sll the ice.
Now that he ca here again, he did not like it either, and he was not used to it.
He had been in the desert all these years.
The desert was too hot.
And it was too cold in Eastern Europe.
Neither of them was a good place.
There were flas in the old man’s hands.
The orange-red flas were extrely warm and dispelled the chill.
As the flas rose, the color gradually changed to faint blue and then turned into dazzling white again.
No matter how the color turned, the flas never changed.
“The Flyer, retreat, retreat!!! That’s Fire Man!”
The old general’s hoarse growl kept echoing.
Jiang Siyu frowned. He found the address Fire Man sowhat familiar, but he couldn’t rember it. However, he had no intention of showing rcy to the guy who dared to block his way.
...
If Li Tianlan were controlled, the Jiang family of South Arica would regain a very bright future.
Jiang Siyu was sure to win.
At that mont, he would drive over whoever was in front of him.
Jiang Siyu’s face twisted for a mont, and he jumped directly from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat.
Infinite violent lightning surged beside him and then rushed out of the vehicle.
The air twisted and moved forward due to the lightning.
“Boom!”
Under the trendous force, the truck at the forefront suddenly flew wholly.
The trendous force drove all the more than ten trucks. The trucks were like mad cows, swooped down the old man desperately.
Fire Man?
Whoever he was, he must die.
The color of the flas in Fire Man’s hands changed from pale white to orange.
Countless trucks were lifted by the lightning and crashed down violently, like boulders in the darkness with appalling montum.
The distance between the two sides was twenty ters. So the trucks ca almost instantly.
Fifteen ters.
Fire Man raised his hand.
Ten ters.
The fire blazed in Fire Man’s single hand.
Five ters.
The killing intent in Jiang Siyu’s eyes completely burst forth.
In his sight, the short old man lowered his body again and hit a punch on the ground.
“Boom!”
Under the deep night, the darkness within several hundred ters disappeared instantly.
The entire military base shook like never before.
The existence of night had lost its aning.
Flare.
There were flas everywhere.
The flas filled the ground as well as the air and soared into the sky.
The imnse raging flas rose like a tsunami, and the flat path was completely lifted under this punch.
The whole road flew up. Everything—the sand, rocks, and trees, beca raging flas that were condensed to the extre.
The raging flas surged like stormy waves.
One truck after another swooped down, swept away by the punch, exploded in the air, and turned into fireballs.
A large number of corpses burned in the flas for a mont. In the scorching heat, all the flesh and bones were burned to ashes.
The ashes were flying in the night, hazy.
The trucks disappeared.
A large number of elites and troops also completely disappeared.
With Fire Man as the center, the entire road had disappeared without a trace. A giant pit with a circumference of several hundred ters and a depth of tens of ters lay across Fire Man and the military base, becoming an impassable chasm.
The flare began to fade under the night sky.
The night reappeared in the sky.
The fire was blazing at the base, the burning ashes were flying in the sky, and the dense grayish white was like mist.
Fire Man stood in front of the fire, looking at the light ahead with a calm face.
The flas blazed and seed to burn forever.
It was a punch he had kept for years.
A punch at his peak.
An appalling punch!
