Bang! Bang! Bang!

"kill!"

The entire ship area was in complete chaos, with gunfire, rain, and the sounds of assassination attempts ringing out.

Black Hand Lu Gang carried several rifles, firing one shot and then switching to another.

Every time he fired, a port guard in the distance was shot and killed.

Upon arriving at the complex ship area, Black Hand Lu Gang no longer needed to act as the spearhead to break through the enemy's defensive strongholds. Therefore, he instead took up his rifle and sniped the guards at various points in the ship area in the pouring rain.

With his keen insight and quick reflexes, he single-handedly became like a highly elite sniper unit, suppressing the firepower of the ship area guards and forcing them to hide behind cover, unable to raise their heads.

"Is this all you've got?" Lu Gang's smug voice pierced through the rain: "With this level of skill, you dare betray me?"

"Lay down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed."

He reloaded his gun and walked down the open street, firing as he went.

Unable to bear the humiliation, the guards in the area with the boats stood up from their bunkers in the street and aimed their guns at Lu Gang.

However, as he exerted force with his legs and rose up, the faint sound was caught by Lu Gang, the Black Hand of Mingjing.

Bang!

Before the guard could even catch a glimpse of Lu Gang, the mastermind behind the attack, he collapsed to the ground.

Lu Gang's voice quickly disappeared. He might still be in the same spot, or he might have moved to another location. In this rain, he was both the strongest and the most agile fighter, giving the ship area guards no chance at all.

Under the suppression of Black Hand Lu Gang, the soldiers in the High Wall District quickly advanced, moving closer to the large ship.

On the big ship.

Miss Panya finally realized the time was right and gave the order:

"fire."

Six light cannons and two heavy cannons fired simultaneously, creating a deafening roar.

"How is it?" she shouted, covering her ears and looking up.

He Lili on the observation deck also shouted back, "Still can't see clearly!"

"The divination result still indicates a slim chance of survival."

Li Si looked at the cracked skull on the flames and said calmly.

"Would sinking the ship stop the blood sacrifice?" Panya asked the expert beside her.

“No, the reason the large ship is used as the site of the blood sacrifice is because the ‘eye’ of the Qi is here. You can destroy the large ship, but you can’t change the feng shui of the entire Ash City.” The expert shook his head and answered coldly. This was obviously a solution they had already considered.

"In the midst of wind and rain, our plans are transparent to the enemy; rain is the feng shui master's eyes, and wind is the feng shui master's ears," the expert said briefly.

“You mean, we still have a way?” Luo You said from the side.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out from the shipyard in the distance.

Everyone saw wood chips flying and falling, and quickly looked towards the observation deck.

"ah!"

He Lili made a sound:

"He's shooting at me from a great distance. I can't see him. He's at the Bright Realm. He's a Bright Realm cultivator!"

He Lili hid behind the wooden railing of the observation deck and shouted loudly.

“Mingjing…” the expert pondered this heavy word.

It seems that Grandpa Mei Yixin and his martial uncle have failed. They originally thought that the aging Mingjing cultivator and a Qijing cultivator could take down a Qijing cultivator who had been given talismans and other items by an Extreme Realm cultivator by cooperating at the pre-arranged ambush location. However... what the Extreme Realm cultivator gave them seemed to be more than just talismans; it was a Mingjing cultivator's elixir.

“Mr. Luo You, please use your illusion magic to envelop the large ship. We will move to another location.” Miss Panya looked at the red-haired woman in a traditional Chinese dress standing to the side.

“I did that a long time ago.” Luo You crossed his arms. “But it was pointless. Mingjing can see through my illusions directly.”

“Look, over there in the sky!” a sailor shouted.

Everyone looked over.

The dark clouds gradually turned purple.

"The feng shui master has made his move, warning everyone to be careful of the rain and to fight in a sheltered environment," the expert hurriedly said.

“How are we supposed to fight this? One is at the Extreme Realm and the other at the Bright Realm.” Luo You complained, “The enemy soldiers are also empowered by the Qi Realm warriors. We can’t beat them with our high-end combat power, and we can’t beat them with our low-end combat power either.”

“We still have firepower advantage. I’ll go and re-mark the firing positions,” Panya said, standing up.

Bang!

Gunfire rang out again in the distance, and this time, a gunner fell to the ground. Everyone instinctively ducked and took cover behind cover.

"Set sail, keep maneuvering," Pan Ya said. "We can't stand still and let Lu Gang shoot at us."

Under such a rainy sky, the commander on the large ship had lost contact with the soldiers below. Relying on messengers to run and transmit messages was too slow and simply couldn't keep up with the pace of Black Hand Lu Gang's attack.

On the other hand, Lu Gang, the mastermind, personally commanded the battlefield, relying on his imposing presence, giving him a significant advantage.

Experts certainly understand this.

He took out the Qi Realm Elixir that he had previously kept, which came from Huang Yuanlong.

An aura naturally arose and surrounded him.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Luo You said, "Did you see Huang Yuanlong's appearance? There's definitely something wrong with this pill!"

The expert stared at the elixir and suddenly remembered Chen Jing, who was neither a cultivator nor a person of extraordinary abilities, and how he looked when he saw the black elixir.

...

Dao Nan hid in a house that had just been half-destroyed by artillery fire.

This was the first time in his life he had ever experienced artillery fire.

Even though he was a cultivator with physical abilities superior to ordinary people, he was still covered in dust and his ears were ringing.

He lay on the ground, squinting as he looked into the distance.

In the purple rain, Black Hand Lu Gang was advancing along the shelled street, as were his fanatical followers, who chased after him and thronged around him.

Black Hand Lu Gang raised his gun, aimed at the large ship, and fired as he walked.

Dao Nan turned to the side and saw the body of a port guard next to him. His body was buried under the rubble and he was no longer breathing.

Beside him lay a rifle.

Dao Nan held his breath and lowered his voice, but the ringing in his ears showed no signs of abating.

He gripped the gun, aiming at Lu Gang, the Black Hand, who was aiming at the large ship. Sweat beaded on his dusty face.

Dao Nan closed his eyes, then opened them again. The purple rain falling on him made him feel very uneasy, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.

...

Those fanatical soldiers from the High Wall District stormed into the last line of defense.

They carried rifles with bayonets fixed, or simply swords and shields, fighting as they moved through alleys, rooms, and rooftops.

Inside a small hut, Li Huaxing nervously gripped his sword. Although there were many people around him, they did not give him much of a sense of security. This was the first time he had ever held a sword and fought to the death with others who also wielded weapons.

Most of the soldiers around him had fled from the front lines and then regrouped here.

"kill!"

The tireless, imposing soldiers of the high-walled district roared as they charged into the area.

"kill!"

People around Li Huaxing gave similar responses.
