The Sichuan soldiers stared at the mushroom cloud, their eyes reddening and their fists clenched tightly.

"You damned ancient Shu people, you will all die a horrible death!"

"Alien scum, if I don't wipe you all out, I'll be unworthy of being a son of Sichuan!"

"ah......"

Everyone was seething with anger, wishing they could raze the entire Sanxingdui to the ground.

The division commanders quickly calmed down and began adjusting their plans...

An hour later.

Xiaoman hid in the shadows and was invisible, so even the mantis monster didn't sense her.

"Why are these people acting so suspiciously?" He frowned slightly, thinking, "This road leads to the temporary command post at the front. Could it be... could it be that they intend to harm the command post?"

Thinking of these things, his aura became very unstable. The mantis monster, which was walking at the back, suddenly turned around and scanned his surroundings warily.

He wasn't sure if anyone was nearby, but his years of living in hiding made him even more cautious.

His eyes shimmered with a blue halo.

Soon, their gaze settled on Xiaoman's hiding place.

Xiaoman quickly increased the invisibility effect to its maximum and even used some of her aura to simulate the surrounding atmosphere.

"What are you standing there for? Follow me!" shouted a man from ancient Shu.

A look of doubt flashed in the mantis monster's eyes, but it could only follow.

Once they were out of sight, Xiaoman gradually deactivated her stealth and typed a message: Enemies are heading towards the command post!

The communications officer who received the message immediately relayed it to higher command.

Suddenly, a large number of troops appeared near the temporary command post...

Qiao Zan was unaware of these things. As he led his men through the shadows, a very bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, a barrage of heavy firepower came crashing down.

"Go back immediately!"

Li Tianyi charged out from the right flank, furiously brandishing his weapon, yelling, "You bastards, you think you can just leave after coming here? Brothers, kill these sons of bitches! Kill them!"

The gunfire intensified, and more and more ancient Shu people fell.

"General, we'll cover you, hurry!" said Qiao Zan's confidant.

He shook his head with a wry smile, "We've come this far, there's nothing left to hide. Let's unleash our strongest fighting power and charge in!"

"yes!"

Several ancient Shu people pierced the mantis monster's body directly, chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

The mantis monster's power is rapidly disappearing.

Seconds later, the group discarded the mantis monster, which had already turned into a dried-up corpse, and their bodies were filled with terrifying power.

"kill!"

They advanced under heavy artillery fire, bullets being deflected the moment they got close.

"How do we fight this?" asked the Sichuan soldiers at the front.

"Concentrate your firepower! I don't believe they can keep deflecting bullets forever!"

"yes!"

The combined fire of the group, while unable to harm them, slowed their advance.

"Keep them occupied like this!" Li Tianyi looked at the 40 Firefighters. "Fire with all ranged weapons and bombard one point!"

40mm guns, mortars, and other artillery were all firing at a single point of reference.

The shockwave from the explosion actually injured one of the ancient Shu people.

"Attack all areas using this method!" Li Tianyi issued the order.

More intense firepower fell upon the enemy ranks, and the two ancient Shu people were already blown to pieces, but they still continued to advance.

"Keep the heavy firepower going, wipe out the enemy's vanguard!"

Whoosh!

ah......

Three ancient Shu people fell, and those behind them immediately took their place.

Qiao Zan was in the middle of this group of people.

Li Tianyi also saw him, immediately abandoned command, grabbed Po Jun and rushed out of the trench.

At the same time, Xiaoman, who had been following closely behind, leaped up rapidly and thrust her Fish Intestine Sword straight at Qiao Zan's heart.

He reacted extremely quickly, barely dodging the attack, but his arm was slashed with a long gash.

"Give me your life!" Li Tianyi was less than fifty meters away from them, and he unleashed a series of powerful sword strikes.

His trusted aides immediately blocked the attack, shielding Qiao Zan behind them.

Xiaoman sneered inwardly and increased her attack speed, forcing Qiao Zan to dodge continuously.

Without realizing it, he had distanced himself from his subordinates.

Suddenly, without warning, Li Tianyi dropped to the ground, and a volley of rockets landed in the enemy ranks.

Explosions continued.

Many ancient Shu people were blown away, leaving fewer than twenty survivors, all of whom were injured.

"Sniper, take the shot!" Luo Feiyu ordered.

The special operations battalion and the sharpshooters in several military regions all used Barrett rifles, and the bullets were also changed to armor-piercing rounds.

Bang, bang!

A dozen or so people from Sichuan and Chongqing were shot in the head and died instantly.

Xiaoman launched a series of attacks, her Fish Intestine Sword moving with lightning speed. "Why don't you offer your neck and slit it yourself? When will you?"

"You think you can kill me so easily? Not so simple!" A crackling sound emanated from Qiao Zan's body, and his aura became extremely strange. "Die!"

The long sword hummed as a blade of light several meters long descended rapidly.

Xiaoman dared not confront him directly and quickly retreated.

Qiao Zan pursued relentlessly, slightly changing the direction of his longsword and slashing straight at the neck.

This attack was so fast that it was almost impossible to dodge.

Suddenly, Po Jun appeared and blocked the attack.

Xiaoman immediately rolled forward, slashing horizontally with the Fish Intestine Sword, and blue blood splattered.

"I really underestimated you newcomers!" Qiao Zan forced Li Tianyi back with a single strike, then quickly formed hand seals, and his wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This gesture reminded Xiaoman of the Japanese devils. "No wonder the Japanese devils had this move in their ninjutsu. It turns out it was you who left it behind!"

Qiao Zan looked completely bewildered.

Li Tianyi seized the opportunity and wielded the Po Jun sword with all his might.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Qiao Zan was enraged as several more long cuts appeared on his body. He gripped his long sword with both hands and unleashed a blade of light several meters wide.

Wherever it went, it even cut openings in the ground.

"Get back!"

Xiaoman retreated rapidly.

The blade's speed was too fast to dodge. The residual force struck his back, leaving a long gash that was deep enough to expose the bone.

"Xiaoman!" Upon seeing Xiaoman covered in blood, Li Tian's anger surged, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Raging Dragon Shakes the Heavens!"

A ferocious blood dragon charged towards Qiao Zan.

hold head high!

Qiao Zan, as expected of the strongest commander of the vanguard, easily dodged the attack and charged towards Xiao Man.

Li Tianyi's blood and qi were surging violently, and he had no ability to unleash a second strike.

In the midst of the crisis, Rowling rushed over from a short distance away, picked up Xiaoman, and jumped into the trench.

"Cover! Cover!"

A dozen men immediately stood up from the trenches and began firing wildly.

Although the bullets did not harm Qiao Zan, they enraged him, and he charged recklessly into the trench.

The two soldiers grabbed him the moment he got close.

The others also rushed up.

More than a dozen people held him tightly, refusing to let go no matter how he attacked.

The dying soldier slowly pulled the fuse.

Boom! Rumble!

The explosions continued, and the surrounding area was shrouded in intense flames, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Qiao Zan, completely blackened, slowly turned around.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking had barely been heard when blood began gushing from his seven orifices.

"Even if I die, I'll take you all with me!" Qiao Zan, holding his last breath, rushed towards the command post.

Li Tianyi was the first to react, rushing at full speed to intercept, shouting: "Focus fire! Focus fire!"

The soldiers immediately locked onto Qiao Zan, and bullets rained down like locusts.

Suddenly, a green aura appeared on his body, and bullets hitting it caused only ripples, as if striking a lake.
