Chapter 206 Abandoning the City

On the streets of the city, Yan Shiyu and the man in black had been locked in a fierce battle for over a hundred rounds. Their figures clashed amidst the firelight, their sweat and blood mingling as they faced each other, panting heavily.

The fires on both sides of the street were like greedy beasts, devouring everything, and the scorching air instantly evaporated the sweat that had just been produced.

After a brief exchange, Yan Shiyu was about to launch another attack when a child's cry suddenly came from not far behind him.

The voice sounded particularly fragile in the chaotic night, yet it pierced Yan Shiyu's heart like a sharp sword.

Yan Shiyu suddenly turned around, his wide eyes burning with anger, and in an instant, he seemed to be filled with strength again.

These damned beasts didn't even spare infants in their swaddling clothes.

Just as Yan Shiyu turned around, the man in black suddenly rushed over. Upon hearing the noise, Yan Shiyu quickly turned around and held his long sword horizontally in front of him.

With a clang, the opponent's knife struck Yan Shiyu's knife heavily, causing Yan Shiyu's hands to ache and forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

After regaining his balance, Yan Shiyu's eyes flashed with intense killing intent. He licked his lips and slowly sheathed his long sword.

Almost all the civilians on both sides of the street had been killed. Corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the blood was being quickly dried and congealed. The bodies were being consumed by flames and emitted a pungent smell.

Filled with grief and anger, Yan Shiyu roared, "Without the people, let's see what you can hide with!"

After saying that, Yan Shiyu shouted, picked up his submachine gun again, and pulled the trigger without hesitation at the man in black in front of him.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunshots rang out, and bullets flew towards the man in black like a raging tide.

Dozens of bullets struck the man in black, piercing his chest, and blood splattered like cruel flowers blooming in the night sky.

After taking down the man in black, Yan Shiyu hurriedly changed a magazine. Just as he was about to deal with the shadow assassins disguised as his team members, he discovered that they had all disappeared.

He looked around, his face full of doubt, searching for every possible hiding place, but he couldn't see a single person. He frowned, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats reached Yan Shiyu's ears, and a group of team members in uniforms riding horses rushed over.

Yan Shiyu hurriedly picked up his submachine gun, and just as he was about to fire, he realized that the leader was Chen Zhennan.

Chen Zhennan rode up to Yan Shiyu's side, his eyes filled with anxiety, and hurriedly asked, "Shiyu, what happened?"

Yan Shiyu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he replied, "A large number of shadow assassins disguised as special forces have appeared in the city. These explosions and fires are their doing. Moreover, these beasts are frantically slaughtering civilians, not even sparing children."

Upon hearing this, the special forces brothers' eyes blazed with fury; their fists clenched, and their faces were filled with anger and rage.

Chen Zhennan also had a gloomy face, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he was not surprised.

“No matter what era it is, these inhuman bastards will do such outrageous things given the chance.” Chen Zhennan’s voice was deep and powerful, his eyes sharp as he scanned everything around him.

Chen Zhennan stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, his eyes burning with fury.

These innocent lives were cruelly taken by the Shadow Assassin. The veins on his clenched fists bulged, revealing his anger and grief.

"Everyone, listen up!" Chen Zhennan's voice pierced through the surrounding noise, his figure appearing exceptionally resolute in the firelight. "Split into two teams and wipe out all the disguised Shadow Assassins in the city!"

At Chen Zhennan's command, he and Yan Shiyu each led a team, quickly splitting up to search like cheetahs.

However, as time passed, Chen Zhennan and Yan Shiyu still found nothing.

Chen Zhennan frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Just then, a group of angry people carrying all sorts of weapons rushed out from the other end of the street.

At the head of the group of people was a young man who was not yet thirty years old. He was shirtless and held a huge machete in his hand. His muscles were particularly defined in the firelight.

When he saw Chen Zhennan's special forces team, his eyes widened instantly, filled with hatred.

"That's him! He's Chen Zhennan, the emperor of Dawu! Kill him and avenge him!"

The young man's roar was like a raging fire, instantly igniting the anger of the people behind him. They responded one after another, raising their weapons and rushing towards Chen Zhennan like a tidal wave.

Chen Zhennan was taken aback at first, but then he understood what was going on. The people must have thought that the Shadow Assassins who were causing trouble were members of the Special Forces.

Chen Zhennan reined in his horse, preparing to turn it around and leave, when his two teammates suddenly opened fire. A series of shots rang out, killing the five civilians at the forefront. The remaining civilians stopped in their tracks, their morale instantly shattered.

"stop!"

Chen Zhennan's shout was like a bolt from the blue, echoing throughout the entire street.

He suddenly pulled on the reins, startling his mount, which reared up on its forelegs and neighed.

Chen Zhennan's eyes were sharp as knives as he stared intently at the two team members who had opened fire, his eyes burning with rage.

"From now on, no one is allowed to fire without my order. The Japanese devils kill people, are you no different from animals?"

Faced with the slightly hesitant looks from the two teammates, Chen Zhennan's expression grew increasingly serious, like a majestic mountain standing firm and unmoving in the wind and snow.

Look here!

Chen Zhennan suddenly pointed at the innocent person lying in a pool of blood, the pain in his eyes hard to conceal.

"Whose blood is this? It's the blood of our compatriots! They are all children of our Great Yan, and the weapons in your hands are for protecting them!"

The two team members looked troubled, a hint of confusion in their eyes, and explained, "But these rioters want to kill you, this..."

Chen Zhennan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "From now on, you are not allowed to point your guns at the people, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the two team members immediately lowered their heads: "Understood, Your Majesty."

Looking at the crowd of people who had been deceived by the Shadow Assassins, Chen Zhennan sighed deeply, his heart filled with complex emotions.

"Take these civilians with us, and we'll continue searching for survivors." Chen Zhennan's voice carried a hint of weariness.

His orders were quickly relayed, and the special forces soldiers immediately sprang into action, helping the panicked civilians and guiding them away from the fire to safety.

"Your Majesty, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, what should we do?" a special forces soldier asked anxiously, his face blackened and white by the smoke.

Chen Zhennan looked around at the buildings engulfed in flames, fearing that the entire Beirong City would be reduced to ashes.

"Abandon the city! Organize the people to leave the city to escape the fire and ensure their safety!"
