Longzang

Chapter 625 Six-Drive Combat Vehicle
Wei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the Wu Clan archer formation engulfed in flames not far away. Each cannonball fired was incredibly precise, targeting the most numerous enemy units. This wasn't due to the gunners' exceptional skill, but rather the result of Wei Yuan's divine guidance from the air.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Yuan commanded the infantry and artillery to fire more than a dozen rounds of shells, killing and wounding three to four thousand archers, while only three people on Qingming's side died from arrow wounds.

Lei Dong was furious. He never expected Wei Yuan to have so many cannons and to bombard them so fiercely.

He launched a midnight raid on Cui Yu and even destroyed Cui Yu's ammunition trucks. As a result, after Cui Yu retreated to a suitable defensive position and waited for reinforcements, he had only five or six cannons left and a little over twenty shells.

Left with no other option, Cui Yu could only wait until the Wu tribe army was close enough and their troop density was sufficient before firing one or two cannon shots. Therefore, Lei Dong and the other You Wu believed that the cannons were special magical artifacts that appeared only occasionally.

It wasn't until he encountered Wei Yuan, whose artillery shells rained down like they were free, that Lei Dong truly experienced what it felt like to be overwhelmed by firepower.

Enraged, he personally drew his bow and shot an arrow like lightning, instantly destroying an infantry cannon and blowing away the two guards and several gunners.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Dong saw a wisp of gray mist, so faint it was almost imperceptible, floating in the air and drifting towards him, which made him even more furious!

He's already tainted by karma after killing just these few people? It can only mean that these people are all carrying great fortune. Wei Yuan arranged for him to kill these people who carry great fortune first, clearly intending to use karma to harm him and hinder his path of cultivation!

However, after his initial rage, Lei Dong calmed down and gave Wei Yuan a cold laugh. Was he, Lei Dong, so easily tricked? With a flick of his demonic blade, he absorbed the wisp of karmic energy, then fired another arrow, blasting apart another infantry cannon!

After firing several arrows in succession, killing a hundred gunners and more than twenty powerful sorcerers, Lei Dong's mood calmed down a little.

At this moment, the silver-haired priestess suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Those old geezers have indeed come."

Eagle-headed Witch replied, "I'll go and meet the Great Wilderness Sun again to see if his witchcraft has improved."

The Eagle Witch took off first, followed by the Silver-haired Witch and the Flying Serpent, each seeking out their old rivals to engage in a great battle in the heavens.

The Serpent-bodied Witch is enormous and moves the slowest. When its body is fully extended, it is over thirty feet long, soaring upwards like a dragon!
Suddenly, a red shadow flashed across the sky.

The agonizing screams of the serpentine sorcerer echoed across the land. A half-zhang-long tail tip detached from its body and fell to the ground, its blood splattering in the air like a rain of blood.

Compared to the snake's body, which is tens of feet long, this half-zhang tail tip seems insignificant, but it has a highly venomous tail hook that is usually hidden inside. It will suddenly pop out during a fierce battle, making it impossible to guard against.

Now that its tail hook had been severed, the Witch was in so much pain that it almost fell from the sky. It dared not linger any longer and turned to fly into the depths of the Witch Domain.

That faint red hue vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.

Lei Dong was both shocked and furious, and shouted, "It's that despicable human again! On the day of the Great Wilderness, you colluded with the human race and betrayed the Witch Domain. I'm going to report you to the City of Heaven!"

A booming voice echoed from high above: "Nonsense! These humans..."

Before Da Huangzhi could speak, Tianyu suddenly shouted, "These humans are all bodyguards and thugs I hired. They have to be wherever I am, and they'll fight whoever I tell them to fight! Now, I, the richest man in the Eastern Wilderness, don't like you. Men, wipe out those low-blooded scum over there!"

Wei Yuan replied expressionlessly, "Yes, sir!"

Tianyu shouted loudly, "Speak louder, I can't hear you!!"

Wei Yuan gave Tianyu a cold glare, and Tianyu's aura immediately shrank.

In the air, Da Huang Zhi Ri took a moment to react, then laughed loudly, "Right, right! These humans are all thugs in my tribe. What, you Lei Ze have a problem with that? If you're so capable, hire some yourself! I'm not going to waste my breath on you, little brat. I still have to go pluck some eagle feathers!"

The group of ghost shamans went off to fight each other, while the extremely eerie red-clad assassin never appeared again. A new ghost shaman appeared in the Desolate Ancestor tribe, but instead of joining the fray, he went to aid in the battle from beyond the heavens.

Lei Dong was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it. Since he had been given the power of destiny, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Even the high and mighty You Wu had to treat him with respect, otherwise he would surely bring trouble upon himself.

Those peers who ostracized him in his early years, even those who merely gave him the cold shoulder, are now buried beneath the altar, transformed into materials for the blood pool. Those women he once loved but who showed him no interest in him are now all brought into his harem, whether they liked it or not.

One of the priestesses was a fiercely independent woman. Lei Dong had to go to great lengths, using various threats from her relatives, to finally win her over. He then placed her husband in the harem, specifically to guard her palace and keep watch. Lei Dong's harem was protected by powerful ancient spells, making it impossible to act secretly behind his back unless he intentionally allowed it.

After just over a year of smooth sailing, Lei Dong had almost forgotten what life was like before he gained the fortune.

His cultivation was also aided by numerous fortuitous encounters. The old sorcerers of the tribe generously shared their knowledge, and the food they provided was even better than that of the Celestials. In just two years, he advanced to the Blood Witch Perfection Realm, just one step away from advancing to the Nether Witch Realm.

Establishing a kingdom in the Netherworld would require a considerable amount of time, demanding both opportunity and strength. Therefore, Lei Dong hadn't yet advanced to the Netherworld Witch level. However, at this crucial juncture, Wei Yuan delivered himself to his doorstep. Lei Dong was furious on one hand, and on the other hand, his gaze towards Wei Yuan grew increasingly envious.

Although he had only been the chosen one for two years, he had already developed a personality that was self-centered and that he believed everything belonged to him.

Lei Dong knew in his heart that if he obtained Wei Yuan's fortune and offered it to heaven and earth, heaven and earth would be overjoyed. Perhaps some sorcerer would find an ancient method and directly transfer his kingdom to him.

At this moment, Lei Ze's army, except for the rear guard, had all mobilized, with 10,000 cavalry on each of the left and right flanks charging fiercely towards Wei Yuan. However, the more Lei Dong looked at the situation, the more awkward he felt. His right flank seemed to have too many troops, while his left flank seemed somewhat weak.

But once the army is mobilized, it is difficult to turn back. Lei Dong did not have the superb ability to command a large army as if it were his own arm, so he could only let the troops proceed according to the original plan.

Wei Yuan was not worried at all about his seemingly weak left flank. With a thought, the right flank cavalry slowly moved forward, and with a roar, three chariots took the lead and charged forward.

The lizard knights were stunned when they saw the three iron boxes, and then charged towards the chariot.

A robust lizard knight, wielding a long lance, charged at full speed and slammed into the chariot from the side! With a loud crash, the knight was thrown off the lizard's back, over the chariot, and crashed to the ground on the other side, his bones broken and tendons snapped.

One after another, the lizard riders rammed into the chariot at full speed, but their lances and swords were completely unable to damage the chariot's armor, which was as thick as a hand.

The cannons on the chariot fired frantically, but there were too many lizard riders around. A dozen were blown away, and dozens more remained behind.

Each venomous lizard weighed several thousand kilograms. When they rammed into the chariots at full speed, the chariots would pause briefly, and the cultivators inside were subjected to excruciating shock. Under the relentless impact of the lizards, all three chariots came to a stop, and then they were swarmed with witch warriors, who attempted to drag the human cultivators out.

At that moment, several fiery clouds appeared out of nowhere in the sky, showering down large amounts of flames. The chariots were unaffected by the fire, but the witch knights were engulfed in flames, one by one burned to ashes, turning into fire witches, and falling to the ground screaming in agony.

Wei Yuan then made his move, annihilating hundreds of witch knights and clearing the area around the chariot. Afterwards, the large contingent of dragon-winged iron cavalry glowed with a hazy light, their strength and stamina increasing, and began their charge.

The mere three thousand iron cavalry were enough to shake the earth, and many of the witch knights showed signs of panic. They were unfamiliar with chariots, but they were well aware of the fighting power of human knights who were fully encased in iron armor.

Before the two cavalry forces even made contact, the Dragonwing Knights raised their muskets and unleashed a volley of fire at each other. Their muskets were now equipped with newly developed shotgun shells, each shot producing a cloud of iron pellets.

Many lizard riders were caught off guard and struck by the iron pellets. These pellets could only leave small wounds on them, but for some reason, many of the riders who were hit fell directly off their mounts, rolling and screaming in agony.

The formation of the Poison Lizard Knights was thrown into chaos. Wei Yuan led the Dragon Wing Iron Cavalry directly into the middle and broke through the Witch Clan's cavalry formation in the blink of an eye, leaving behind hundreds of Witch Knight corpses.

The dragon-winged cavalry turned and unleashed another volley of shrapnel, instantly felling five or six hundred more lizard knights. Wei Yuan did not hesitate, leading his cavalry to once again break through the witch army's formation and return to their original positions.

After two rounds of attacks, Lei Zejun's entire left flank began to collapse. Fortunately, all three tanks were now immobilized, allowing Lei Dong to salvage some face.

At that moment, cannonballs suddenly rained down from the shamanic cavalry formation, blasting groups of knights who were just about to assemble into formation, sending them flying and their horses tumbling. Then, a deafening roar of laughter erupted, drowning out the shouts and screams of battle, even suppressing the sounds of infantry cannons.
"Hahahaha! Today, the Desolate Ancestor Tribe has unleashed a massacre, and I, Tianyu, will surely annihilate that inferior shaman who stole my fortune!"

With a roar, a special chariot charged out from Wei Yuan's formation. This chariot was noticeably larger than the others, and its armor was incredibly thick.

The chariot had no tracks; instead, there were three powerful shamans on each side, their thick legs exposed. These twelve thick legs, covered in shamanic tendrils, moved with incredible speed, carrying the chariot weighing tens of thousands of kilograms with the agility of the wind, even more so than Wei Yuan's Dragon Wing Heavy Cavalry.

Tianyu sat in the turret's original turret position. His lower body hadn't fully grown out yet, fitting perfectly into the turret's spot. At this moment, he gripped the infantry gun with his right hand and loaded ammunition with his left, his movements as swift as the wind, leaving behind afterimages.

With the enhancement of Tianyu's physical body, the rate of fire of his infantry and artillery was incredibly fast, making the surrounding area a hunting target for several miles. Any great shaman in Lei Ze who dared to show his face would be bombarded by a barrage of shells and forced to flee in disarray.

Xu Wenwu was at the rear of the chariot. At this moment, he was using his own Dao foundation to enhance the chariot's performance, while handing cannonballs to Tianyu. He was panting heavily, but Tianyu still thought he was too slow.

"Hey, just one shot away from getting that little brat away! Old Xu, what's wrong with you? Didn't you eat breakfast?! Give it your all, I'll get two pretty witches to give you a massage later!"

This chariot's firepower was so intense that even the great shamans had to flee in terror wherever it went, and the other shamanic troops were no match for it. In the blink of an eye, the entire Thunder Swamp army formation was thrown into chaos, showing signs of disarray.

Tianyu felt that he had never experienced such a triumphant moment in his life. The feeling of fighting his way through thousands of troops was simply wonderful, more exhilarating than fighting eighteen little witches together.

He was full of vigor and looked around, but couldn't find a worthy opponent. So he chuckled and turned to Xu Wenwu, saying, "Old Xu, according to your world's terminology, this is a six-wheel drive, right?"
