The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

Dressed in black, Aoi Furukawa swung his sword, and the Japanese man who was about to draw his gun froze, falling to the ground with his head rolling off, splattering blood everywhere.

A red light emanated from Furukawa Aoto's body, completely enveloping it.

The power of bloodlust surged and boiled slightly, beginning to extract and devour the life force of this body.

It took the same amount of time as the Origin Talisman to refine the Blood Fiend Talisman, 11 minutes, to extract all the life force and blood energy from this person.

With his bloodthirsty power surging and noticeably increasing, Furukawa Aoto wasted no time and turned to rush towards his next target.

Such a large movement naturally alerted the monitoring personnel.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Gunshots rang out.

The entire Hongkou district seemed to come alive instantly, with squads of military police appearing in various locations.

Judging from this, they have stationed personnel in various locations in Hongkou, so that they can quickly form an encirclement if something happens.

"Unfortunately, I saw it all clearly!" Zhou Ming sneered inwardly and immediately gave the order.

The Bloodhounds, who had been hiding in the distance, immediately sprang into action, constantly slipping through walls, and quickly located the two teams.

He picked up the dog's paw and wrote several large words on the ground: "Master commands, follow me."

Tianmu nodded, his massive staff covered in dense bloodthirsty power, and slammed it down.

"Bang!" The floor tile shattered into pieces, especially the area with the writing, which turned into powder and was completely unrecognizable.

Led by the Bloodhound, the group then weaved through the weak points or gaps in the encirclement and quickly escaped.

Watching helplessly as the men in black escaped the encirclement, the military police captain who organized the operation was so anxious that he started cursing.

"Bastard, coward, trash who only attacks civilians..."

At this moment, the adjutant beside him said somewhat uncertainly, "Why do those two look so much like Amaki-kun and Furukawa Aoto?"

Chapter 24 Attacking Hongkou

"Impossible!" the military police captain retorted instinctively.

He just submitted the reports of these two people's sacrifice yesterday. If they are still alive, wouldn't that be a dereliction of duty on his part?

In the distance, Zhou Ming watched the Japanese military police captain, who was cursing angrily, through binoculars, and sneered inwardly.

"Don't rush, I'll target your scattered soldiers tomorrow. Let's see if you're still jumping up and down then," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

Zhou Ming couldn't hear their conversation, but he had his own plan in mind.

Tenki and Furukawa Aoto were the people in charge of the supernatural beings in Hongkou. With their accident, there are no real masters here for a while.

Although the Japanese military and government had some trained individuals, the number of truly skilled practitioners was actually not large due to a lack of genuinely advanced techniques and geniuses.

More often, it exists within folk schools of thought, which differ from those in the military.

The army benefited from industrial development, and having already overcome its fear of being a superior nation after the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Qing Dynasty once, it had long since shaken off the fear of being called the Celestial Empire.

The cultivation world is completely different. The major sects are still very powerful. Although there are various internal conflicts, those Japanese sects know that if the entire sect invades China, it will definitely provoke a united resistance from these sects.

The next day, Zhou Ming looked at the HK district across the street through binoculars, his face very gloomy.

On the rooftops of some key intersections, makeshift fortifications made of sandbags are being set up, with machine guns mounted on them.

"This time, there will probably be casualties!" Zhou Ming thought to himself.

This time, Zhou Ming directly arranged for Tianmu and others to take action ahead of time, setting out at around 9 o'clock instead of 11 o'clock.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The frenzied roar of machine guns erupted, and the moment this heavy weaponry was heard in Shanghai, it stirred up an already tense situation.

Troops in many parts of Shanghai were urgently assembled to find out what was going on.

"Two died, that's not bad," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

The flames of the essence lamp within his body burned fiercely, refining the two returning blood-fiend talismans.

It contains a large amount of bloodthirsty energy, which is being frantically burned and purified.

The originally enormous power was quickly reduced to only a fraction of its original strength, which then slowly merged into Zhou Ming's primordial talisman.

The bloodthirsty power rippled slightly, but under Zhou Ming's strong control, it did not cause much of a commotion, especially since Wang Wen and the others were nearby.

"Their bloodthirsty power has increased by one and a half layers. These guys are really fast at increasing their cultivation after absorbing it." Zhou Ming was slightly alarmed.

Without the purification of the Essence Lamp, such a surge of impurities would cause Zhou Ming's Qi to erupt at any moment, and he would be in danger of losing control of his Qi and blood, going into qi deviation, and dying suddenly almost every day.

"Luckily I'm cheating, otherwise I'd die eight times over in a minute," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

As time went by, one or two people would die every night, and Zhou Ming's bloodthirsty power grew stronger and stronger.

Zhou Ming stopped his actions when only five of the 15 Blood Demon Soldiers remained.

Zhou Ming was so engrossed in improving his strength and figuring out how to get the Blood Demon Soldiers to kill more people that he didn't pay much attention to the outside world.

August 13th arrived, and the war officially began!

"I am Wei Zhigao, the regimental commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 264th Brigade of the 88th Army. According to the instructions from higher command, the four of you will be cooperating with our side in the next operation." A bearded officer handed the transfer order to Ding Chu after reading it.

Ding Chu reached out and took the transfer order, opened it and saw that it did indeed have the team leader's signature, then handed it to the other three.

"Tell me! What do you need us to do?" Ding Chu asked.

"My orders from the commander are to storm the Marine Corps headquarters in Hongkou from here and assemble with the other units there." Commander Wei stood by the window, looking at Hongkou in the distance.

The rooftops on both sides of the road were covered with machine gun positions, and some even had mortars mounted on them.

"Some of these locations would suffer heavy damage if attacked head-on, and we need your help to eliminate them," Commander Wei said, pointing out the window.

Zhou Ming's Blood Eagle flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters, its two eyes gleaming as it watched everything below.

"Boom boom boom!" The sound of artillery shells rang out continuously, and these were the sounds from the other roads.

At this moment, Zhou Ming followed behind Wang Wen, while Wang Wu and Ding Chu, as a pair, attacked from the rooftop.

Wang Wu rode on a white horse, a long spear in his hand, leaping and running across rooftops of varying heights, charging into one position after another, killing a machine gunner with a single thrust.

With a backhand swing, the remaining henchmen were also killed.

"Bastard!" A curse suddenly came from afar, accompanied by a chilling force.

Suddenly, a big-headed ghost wielding a stick and a flying barbarian with only a head appeared.

The blue-headed ghost wielding the stick charged straight at Wang Wu, who had transformed into Zhao Yun.

Another red head, the size of a water vat, opened its huge mouth, spewing out thick smoke and sparks, and charged towards Ding Chu.

"Whoosh!" Ding Chu slashed with his sword, the sharp sword energy splitting the big head in two, but it regenerated like a phantom in the next moment.

Ding Chu frowned deeply.

Amidst the hail of bullets below, Zhou Ming hid behind Wang Wen, fiddling with fireballs in his hands.

"Damn it!" Commander Wei cursed angrily, and immediately looked at Zhou Ming and the other man.

With Wang Wu and Ding Chu holding them back, the machine guns and mortars on the rooftop were largely ineffective, resulting in minimal casualties for his team.

Now that they've been tied down, casualties have increased dramatically.

"Hurry up and make your move, you two!" the guard commander said impatiently.

Zhou Ming glanced at the guy, then threw the fireball in his hand.

"Boom!" The fist-sized fireball suddenly expanded, and raging flames erupted.

It instantly transformed into a fireball the size of a small car, shaped like a skull.

"Kakaka!"

The Flame Skull kept smacking its mouth as it flew into the air and set its sights on the machine gun positions on the rooftops.

The two machine gun positions closest to the target watched this scene in horror. Without thinking, they turned their guns and aimed them at the Flame Skull.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless; the bullet went straight through the flames, and the skull flew straight into it.

"Boom!" An explosion, like a bomb, erupted at a camp.

The Flame Skull looks huge, but it's actually in a dispersed state, designed to ignore bullets.

Although the power will be greater after compression, the large amount of condensed Qi can easily be disrupted by the bullet and explode prematurely.

It's better to be in this state, where you can ignore bullets and hit the target 100% of the time.

"Brother Wen, how was it? My move was designed to ignore these machine guns," Zhou Ming said, continuing to rub the Flame Skull.

"He's incredibly accurate, but a bit slow," Wang Wen said, standing protectively beside Zhou Ming.

"I'll try to speed things up as much as possible," Zhou Ming nodded and said.

There's a limit to how fast he can go right now, because Zhou Ming only has two spirit orbs.

"Boom!" Another fiery skull swelled up and flew out.

One by one, the machine gun positions were taken out, and the entire regimental headquarters began to advance.

"Damn it! There are just too many skilled Chinese people." The Onmyoji hiding in the shadows couldn't help but curse angrily.

Next, the protagonist's mindset will change due to the cruelty of war, and he will use his abilities without any restraint.

Chapter 25 Preparing for a strong attack

"Found you!" a voice suddenly rang out.

The Onmyoji's heart skipped a beat, and the next moment, a bright light flashed.

Bloodstains appeared on his forehead, and the next moment, he was split in two, with blood and fluids flowing all over the ground.

Ding Chu coldly flicked his knife. He had somehow already discovered the Onmyoji's hiding place. Taking advantage of the fact that the Onmyoji's attention was drawn to Zhou Ming, he launched a surprise attack and killed him.

With the death of the Onmyoji, Ding Chu and the other two also joined in the dismantling of the stronghold.

Zhou Ming stood behind, watching the two ghosts slowly disappear, and thought to himself, "What a pity. I wonder what those two things were made of?"

It didn't look like a primitive spirit or ghost; those two things disappeared as soon as the Onmyoji died.

Continue the advance; the final target is 2121 North Sichuan Road, the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, the enemy's command center.
