Chapter 1500 Those Budding Thoughts Behind the Scenes (Part 1)
An invasion has spread across China!
From the very beginning of the incident, the entire Northeast fell! The already dead dynasty was put on as a puppet, the flames of war broke out from Shanhaiguan, and the situation in North China was in imminent danger!
As time continued to turn, the Ancheng Incident brought an end to the ongoing civil war! However, using the pretext of a missing soldier, a full-scale war officially broke out!
But starting with the largest battle, Shanghai fell, Beijing and Tianjin were lost, and Jiangsu and Shandong were completely lost!
As the core of the war in Europe deteriorated, international relations shifted dramatically, and logistical support was cut off, prominent figures openly defected amidst isolation and lack of support, and renowned generals died heroically in battle.
Nearly a decade of war ravaged half of China, plunging this land into its darkest and most difficult period!
To uphold the backbone of the nation, a massive battle involving hundreds of regiments was launched in the north.
Against this turbulent backdrop of history...
A grand scheme unfolds, bringing together a multitude of powerful figures!
A top-secret telegram from the north, a liaison officer hidden in the concession, military police spread throughout the city, a thrilling secret rendezvous in a dance hall, and simultaneous actions by operatives working behind enemy lines.
Penicillin traded on the black market for gold bars, intelligence on transport routes stolen by undercover agents, and spies who have caught wind of the trail and are tracking down the suspects.
When the final nighttime operation to seize the gunpowder depot commenced, a fierce gunfight ensued on the docks, comrades entrusted intelligence to each other in the dark alleys, every second was spent transferring supplies, and the last telegram was sent.
A train carrying military supplies and intelligence is heading north!
This undercurrent, unfolding on a crucial thread behind the main battlefield in this crisis-stricken land, has finally reached its climax.
Standing on the outskirts of the city in the darkness, a figure watched the train roar northward into the night, and then, at that very moment...
A shadow darted swiftly through the darkness! A chilling killing intent drew near in an instant, amidst the howling night wind.
A jet-black blade appeared out of nowhere, slicing through the night and piercing towards his back!
Keng!
But in response to this illogical attack, the ground beneath the figure lit up, and as the light shield deflected the black blade, it revealed a gaunt, ninja-like man.
The moment the sneak attack was exposed, the opponent exploded in smoke, and three clones simultaneously merged into the darkness, followed by a rain of black darts, sharp kunai, and throat-slitting daggers.
Three deadly attacks, hidden in the darkness, simultaneously struck the youth!
Surrounded and attacked with unparalleled ease, the figure's protective barrier continuously blocked various attacks. Then, as the onslaught reached its peak, the figure took a step forward.
The light array beneath his feet spun and rose, expanding in an instant to sweep away all attacks. Then, in a flash, he appeared directly in front of one of the three figures.
Then, a smile appeared on his lips as something appeared in his hand.
The gaunt man's eyes widened, and in an instant, he was stabbed back more than ten meters away!
He coughed up blood at the corner of his mouth and looked sharply at the thing that had pierced him. It was a long mace with a jade-blue hue, but it felt more like a jade ruler than a mace.
The one holding it at this moment is a very young man.
The handsome young man, with a tall and straight figure, holding a jade ruler, was dressed in a white, elegant robe of unknown dynasty, like a refined and otherworldly nobleman from a story.
After covering the retreat of his comrades, he tore off the disguise, took down all the spies, and then looked at their mastermind, a gaunt man belonging to a secret unit of the Special Higher Police, who used his abilities to assassinate, steal secrets, and sabotage.
The young man in white chuckled softly, his smile devoid of warmth.
"Got you."
Having remained hidden throughout the operation, their appearance in this final scene wasn't merely to prevent the enemy from catching the train, but to eliminate them outright.
The moment those words were spoken, the dynamics of the chaser and the chased instantly shifted!
His expression turned solemn at this moment. He had already sensed the young man's strength from the previous exchange. As a fellow B-level opponent, his opponent was likely a mid-level or even high-level one.
But the gaunt man showed no intention of running away. Instead, he slowly straightened up, his gaze sinister.
"Arrogant! You think you can keep me here like this?"
He didn't say much to those words, and upon hearing their foreign accent, the young man in white simply chuckled with an air of nonchalance.
"Let me teach you a principle first: on our land of China, we must speak our Chinese language."
Sensing the underlying contempt in his words, the gaunt man narrowed his eyes with a cold glint, and spoke with a sinister air, concealing some kind of scheme:
"Hmph, but you've got one thing wrong. This is territory we've occupied."
He watched the young man, his voice low and filled with murderous intent.
"You're the one who'll get caught!"
Then, in that very instant, in the darkness not far behind him,
A glamorous woman dressed like a courtesan, a silent old man wielding a katana like a samurai, and a tall, burly man carrying a mechanical musket.
And at the very back stood a cold, aloof man dressed in hunting robes, resembling an Onmyoji.
Four figures appeared simultaneously at that moment!
Having received the contact from the gaunt man, and anticipating this situation, the highest-ranking, aloof man resembling an Onmyoji, upon arriving, spoke coldly:
"Attack!" With that command, the deadly trap was set in motion!
He was the first of the five to make a move. He held a paper figure between his fingers and recited a decree. Surging magical energy transformed it into a giant white tiger shikigami, which pounced on the youth with a deafening roar.
The next second, the beautiful courtesan attacked to one side with her alluring voice, while the samurai-like old man flashed to the other side and drew his sword for a quick attack!
boom!
As the tall, muscular man behind him unleashed a barrage of bullets from his mechanical musket, the gaunt man once again split into three and disappeared into the darkness, ready to launch the deadliest sneak attack at any moment!
Two are lower-rank B-level, two are mid-rank B-level, and the strongest Onmyoji can even reach upper-rank B-level.
Five B-rank enemies attacked simultaneously! The tide turned in an instant, the situation becoming incredibly dangerous, but they didn't despair despite the barrage of attacks.
On the outskirts of the city, where the night wind howled with murderous intent, a figure, amidst the fluttering of robes, exuded an ethereal and unrestrained grace.
The young man in white simply raised his jade ruler and uttered a deep, clear shout:
"Array up."
The next second, a dazzling array of light, several meters high, rose up beneath his feet!
As the light shimmered, the young man transformed into a feather, gracefully drifting backward through the air to evade the fastest Iaijutsu.
At the same time, a chilling blade flashed, leaving a mark where he had been standing, and the ripples of light blocked the sniper's shot.
With a stroke of his jade ruler, a beam of light, as if precisely measured, lit up in response!
"The Five Elements, Fire Snake!"
The raging flames transformed into a lithe fire serpent, and the scorching heatwave forcefully repelled the courtesan, scattering all the black darts that were being fired.
At this moment, the enormous white tiger phantom leaped into the air with a powerful kick, roaring with a ferocious aura.
The white-robed youth used his jade ruler to solidify a light barrier as solid as glass, blocking the blood-red tiger's mouth!
"A clumsy and unorthodox approach."
Looking at the shikigami transformed from the paper figure, and thinking of his elders who were proficient in talismans, the white-robed youth let out a soft sigh and swung his jade ruler.
A complex and intricate array of countless interwoven rays of light materialized and unfolded above his head!
"Light Array - Star-Attracting Cone!"
As a cone of light, entirely composed of blazing white light, condensed from within, it pierced through the White Tiger's forehead with a blinding brilliance, delivering a decisive blow.
After the original paper figure was shattered, it fell directly into a deep pit in the desolate wilderness at night!
Upon realizing that the young man was stronger than they had anticipated, all five of them felt a chill run down their spines, summoning an even stronger shikigami and sheathing their sharp katanas once more.
The mechanical muskets opened fire again, and they launched an even fiercer attack!
A colossal shikigami roared and charged, its sharp katana cleaving the ground, and mesmerizing sonic blades shot forth… all sorts of forces clashed violently with the light of various array formations.
In the dead of night on the outskirts of the city, the fierce battle that would culminate in the final act of this incident continued!
Although the white-robed youth was strong, the combined attack of five B-rank fighters was still superior. It was clear that all they needed to do was watch out for the opponent's strongest light cone formation continuously attacking.
As the battle intensified, the young man in white, caught in the siege, could no longer attend to all the attacks.
A lone tree cannot support a forest; the situation is extremely precarious!
Then, finally seizing an opportunity, the gaunt man, who had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly struck like a venomous snake that had been waiting for a long time!
"go to hell!"
however--
Clang!
The jade ruler deftly blocked the short knife, just as effortlessly as it had at the beginning.
"Guess why I gave you time to contact them?"
I can't finish writing this, I'll just post half of it for now.
