Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 438 Sweeping Away the Enemy's Den, Dominating the Region

In the past six months, the highest-ranking commander of the Siamese army in charge of the advance into the Golden Triangle has been replaced twice due to repeated operational errors.

The current commander is known for his cautious approach. Although he hasn't achieved any particularly outstanding results, he hasn't been overtaken by the enemy.

He didn't go to the front lines in person, but he stayed in Chiang Mai Province, which shows his courage and composure.

Today, however, he sat in his office staring at the documents that had just been delivered, his face filled with an indescribable complex expression.

"Is the source of this document reliable? The ambassador sent from North America actually agrees with Xuan Kingdom's opinion?"

"Wasn't there a rumor a while ago that they wanted to win us over to resist the plan proposed by the Xuan Kingdom?!"

Such instructions generally require both paper and electronic documents.

The staff officer immediately said, "We have communicated and verified with Bangkok through multiple channels, including the internet and telephone, and we have reached a consensus on the content of the document. There are absolutely no problems."

The commander scratched his graying hair in frustration, then suddenly stood up, his knee knocking the chair behind him quite a distance away.

"We're here trying to choose sides, but these two seem to be in agreement—are they messing with us?!"

The staff officer, somewhat dissatisfied, asked, "Then how should we respond?"

"What else can we reply? Of course, we'll obey orders!"

The commander glared at him. "You know whether you've taken bribes before. I'm usually very tolerant of everyone, but you need to see the situation clearly. Those two families have actually joined forces to push this event forward."

"At this point, there's no room for any underhanded tactics. Go all out and complete the mission without any compromise!"

The staff officer's heart skipped a beat, and he saluted, saying, "Yes, sir!"

Similar scenarios have occurred in more than one place.

After suffering defeats in battle and stagnating for a full six months, the situation remained unresolved.

The armies of the three neighboring countries agreed on a time to join forces and advance into the heart of the Golden Triangle.

There has been no rain recently, but it's always cloudy.

Smoke billowed into the sky, almost touching the dark clouds.

Amidst the mountains, the sounds of artillery bombardment and the gunfire of combat troops clashing back and forth between positions were incessant.

Fires, both accidental and intentional, were everywhere. Armed militants on the outskirts of the city had abandoned their original homes and were moving through the rainforest.

The bullet pierced through the banana leaf and exploded into blooming blood on the human body.

"How could this be?"

The leader of this so-called protection group, thinking that his drug manufacturing plant had probably been taken over, had bloodshot eyes filled with resentment.

"I just finished making a batch of ice, and those bastards got it all for free. What's wrong with them? How come their numbers and firepower are so fierce this time?"

"And what about Master Mengchai?!"

Suddenly, a colorful beetle the size of a human face fell down from the jungle.

The group of armed men stared in horror at the beetle's back, at the human-face-like markings.

A black arrow pierced the beetle's body; the human face was contorting, screaming, and then collapsing.

"The ancestors of the Ba people were the sixteen shamans, and Wu Xian moved the ancient mountains for the sake of the ruler..."

The head of the security force vaguely heard a language he didn't recognize and his expression faltered for a moment.

When he came to his senses, all the guards around him had been impaled on the ground, trees, and rocks by black arrows.

That's right, there was actually an arrow that could pierce through a human body and then embed itself in rock, reaching a depth of six or seven centimeters.

Zheng Jing crouched on a horizontal branch of a large tree, shot an arrow at the head of the guard regiment, and then turned and ran among the tall tree canopy.

He was more agile than a monkey, weaving through the canopy of trees and quickly returning to the location of the drug manufacturing plant.

The Siamese soldiers guarding the area saw him jump down and immediately saluted.

They didn't know the man's exact identity, but he was someone sent down from above to help.

Moreover, according to the customs of Siam, such a mysterious and powerful person who can kill a sorcerer must be an even more powerful sorcerer, and therefore deserves respect.

The officer guarding the area changed his expression slightly when he saw him.

"Besides cooperating in operations, I also have another task: to supervise you in taking inventory of all the equipment and raw materials here, transporting them back, and disposing of them in a unified manner."

As Zheng Jing finished speaking, he casually plucked a leaf from the tree and tapped it onto the bowstring.

stretch!!

The officer only noticed a flash of green leaves and turned around to look.

A poisonous snake was hanging on the wall, cut in half by green leaves.

The Siamese officer forced a smile: "Of course, it's our duty."

The camera on Zheng Jing's chest faithfully recorded everything.

All the practitioners who accepted the mission at the Baosheng Temple market wore such cameras, not only to record the mission process, but also to facilitate calling for help.

The direction the Siamese soldiers were responsible for searching was somewhat manageable.

On the other side in Bagan, they encountered very strong resistance, and the sorcerers who followed the army there were also in great danger.

In the streets and towns of the city and countryside, armed men turned around and ambushed and attacked these soldiers.

Among these people, some were as fierce as tigers and leopards, and more agile than antelopes. They could leap from walls, tumble and bound, and even when they ran out of ammunition, they could easily snatch weapons from the enemy.

To ordinary soldiers, these men were like ghosts, appearing and disappearing as soon as the enemy turned a corner, and they would be shot in the back.

Fortunately, the command center, which oversees the entire operation via video, has already sent reinforcements.

An armed man, who had been injected with a lot of spiritual blood, was charging forward excitedly, his face still smeared with paint, when suddenly the sky darkened. A three-meter-tall armored figure fell down and, before the man could fire, grabbed his right arm.

The armed man, who was at least 1.9 meters tall, was thrown out like a rag doll and crashed into his comrade.

Both men suffered broken bones and crashed against the wall, falling silent.

boom! !

The black and white armor suddenly tilted its head, a spark bursting from its shoulder, and the deformed bullet bounced off the armor.

The sniper on the distant rooftop cursed upon seeing this and was about to move when a bullet pierced through the concrete railing, leaving a large hole in his torso.

The holes in the cement still retain the high temperatures generated when the bullets passed through, emitting wisps of blue smoke.

On the street, the black-and-white armored figure held a long, heavy sniper rifle in one hand, the same weapon he had been carrying on his back.

Chen Taozhi's commando team was short-handed; originally, only five armored soldiers were sent here to provide support.

But after capturing a few people and extracting information, more people came to the area.

Yun Gu stood on the rooftop of the city's tallest building, gazing at the entire battlefield.

With the addition of the black and white armor, the militants' counterattack was quickly defeated, and the soldiers regrouped and advanced rapidly.

"They have already plowed their courtyards and swept their gates!"

Yun Gu exclaimed, "To plow the court and sweep away the cave, this is the true power of 'plowing the court and sweeping away the cave'!"

He jumped off the rooftop, landed outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, smashed through the glass, and went inside.

Many things in the top-floor room had been ransacked, but the safe in the corner seemed to have remained unopened.

Yun Gu flicked out a wisp of wind, and after the safe was impacted, it immediately revealed a dense array of purple runes.

The talisman even covered the entire wall where the safe was located, thus reinforcing it.

"As expected of Sahon's methods."

Yun Gu stepped forward, then pressed his palm against the safe, drawing it in with his palm and pulling it outward.

He immediately tore down the door of the safe, revealing the stone tablet inside.

"found it."

Yun Gu spoke to the camera on his chest.

On the other side of the camera signal, Chu Tianshu also saw the safe and the other half of the stone tablet.

He sat in the Baosheng Hall to oversee the overall situation.

Sun Buyuan was also beside him, and seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The matter of the Cave Heaven Ruins can finally be resolved."

As soon as Sun Buyuan relaxed, he couldn't help but twist his neck and pound his shoulder with his hand.

"That's strange. I didn't participate in any combat missions this time, so why do I feel so tired?"

Hearing this, Chu Tianshu smiled.

Although Dr. Sun did not participate in any combat missions, the success of the Baosheng Temple market and the rapid spread of its reputation were inseparable from his expertise.

However, identification is by no means an easy task.

Not only do you need to have that knowledge in your mind, but you also need to be able to immediately make connections when you see the actual object.

During this period, Dr. Sun worked only ten hours a day.

However, the mental and physical exertion required is probably comparable to working twenty hours a day.

"Although the market will continue, there's no need to rush the appraisal process in the future."

Chu Tianshu said, "Even if no one has been selected in China to take over yet, Dr. Sun, you can rest more."

Sun Buyuan nodded, and with that nod, he did indeed feel a little sleepy.

However, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

Sun Buyuan looked up and said softly, "After so many cloudy days, it's finally going to rain."

Chu Tianshu rubbed the Taixu Heavenly Eye in his hand and looked outside.

"Rain is bad for marching, but it's also good, it washes away the smoke of battle."

He left his seat, walked to the entrance of the main hall, and took a deep breath.

"The air will be much fresher after this rain."

Sun Buyuan suddenly said, "The Audit Bureau's attitude is clearly that they feel that cooperation with Sahong is a pipe dream, so they simply want to find a way to deepen cooperation with our Special Arrest Division. Their stance is indeed flexible."

"But that's not bad either. At this point, is it appropriate to release the evidence from that Bangkok reporter?"

Chu Tianshu was pondering the cultivation technique when reminded by him, and nodded, "Okay."

"Everyone's body cameras have captured a lot of evidence, which will be released gradually. I will ask the person in charge of publicity to help arrange the order."

The old forensic doctor stretched, his expression becoming more relaxed.

This is how it should be; the Way is not far from man, and the law does not wrong man.

The truth is sometimes powerless, not because of the truth itself, but because the dust is too thick.

Fortunately, this rain has brought relief from the dust.
