The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Li Xiao carefully hid the piece of yellow agarwood in a locker in the supermarket before closing the lid of the agarwood box.

He quickly collected all the spoils, including the trucks, into the space supermarket, and then headed towards the dilapidated temple.

"Mother, I'm back!"

Inside the dilapidated temple, Wang Xia's face was filled with worry. The sounds of gunfire and artillery outside had all reached the temple, undoubtedly causing great anxiety for Li Xiao's family.

Seeing Li Xiao return safely, everyone's faces showed joy.

"Mother, a group of Japanese soldiers did come outside. They were all driving trucks, and it seemed they were transporting something. Later, a group of guerrillas came and fought with the Japanese soldiers. After the guerrillas wiped out the Japanese soldiers, they took the supplies away!"

After listening to Li Xiao's explanation, Wang Xia finally felt relieved.

It was already noon. Li Xiao took out some more food from his spatial storage, and after everyone had filled their stomachs, they continued on their way.

They were already quite close to the south gate of the city. About an hour later, Li Xiao pulled the cart to Yongding Gate in the south of the city.

Because many refugees fled here during this period, the city gates were inspected very strictly.

The group of puppet troops and Japanese soldiers conducted strict checks on all civilians entering the city.

Standing at a distance, Li Xiao noticed that a merchant with a horse-drawn carriage had its curtains lifted by a group of puppet soldiers, who then dragged two women out of the carriage.

The two women appeared to be a mother and daughter; the mother was about thirty years old, and the girl looked to be only a teenager.

At that moment, two Japanese soldiers saw that the mother and daughter seemed quite attractive, so they ran over with lewd smiles.

The driver had been knocked to the ground by the butt of a puppet soldier's rifle, while a well-dressed middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was crying and kneeling on the ground, pleading with the puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers for mercy.

The puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers guarding the gate paid no attention to this. Two puppet soldiers kept shouting at the middle-aged man, while the two Japanese soldiers walked towards the mother and daughter.

At this moment, Li Xiao was about 800 meters away from the city gate. Although the distance was far, with his abnormal eyesight, he could see clearly what was happening on the other side of the city gate.

He sighed and then pulled the cart behind some ruins.

"Mother, please wait here for a while. It seems something has happened at the city gate. Let's go in later!"

"Okay, then we'll wait a bit."

Wang Xia now regards her eldest son as her pillar of support, and she will not object to any of his opinions.

"Xiaofeng, wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

"Yes, I will definitely protect Mother and my sister!"

Li Xiao touched Li Feng's hair, and then disappeared into the ruins.

He arrived at a small hill about 500 meters away from the ruins, and then took out one of the most accurate sniper rifles in later generations—the Swiss SSG3000.

This sniper rifle is manufactured by SIG Sauer and has earned a good reputation for its high quality, safety, and accuracy, making it commonly used by law enforcement agencies in Europe and the United States.

Li Xiao aimed his gun at the city gate. At that moment, the two Japanese soldiers were tearing at the clothes of the mother and daughter with a sinister smile. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two gunshots rang out very close together. Li Xiao, on a small earthen mound about 1050 meters from the city gate, accurately sniped the two Japanese soldiers.

His two shots completely threw Yongding Gate into chaos. Squads of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops rushed down from the city wall, then raised their rifles and pulled the triggers in all directions.

Li Xiao didn't care at all. Putting everything else aside, given his current distance, even if the Japanese soldiers ran out of bullets, they wouldn't be able to hit him.

His sniper rifle spewed out angry flames, calling out the names of the Japanese soldiers one by one.

"Click~"

When he ran out of bullets, Li Xiao reloaded a full magazine and continued firing at the fleeing soldiers who had begun to scatter.

Every single one of his bullets eventually found its rightful owner; not a single bullet was wasted.

In the end, the Japanese soldiers fled completely, leaving only a dozen or so corpses lying on the ground.

Then the Japanese soldiers drove the puppet troops out of the city.

These puppet troops naturally didn't want to come out and die, but the Japanese soldiers behind them had already set up machine guns and aimed them at them, so these traitorous dogs had no choice but to run towards Li Xiao with their guns trembling.

These puppet troops were somewhat well-trained; they all began to move in a serpentine pattern to reduce the chances of being hit by bullets.

However, this was of no use to Li Xiao, whose high-precision sniper rifle remained unerring.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

Each of the puppet soldiers was shot between the eyebrows, and more than a dozen corpses have already been left behind.

Because the bullets fired by Li Xiao's sniper rifle had such strong kinetic energy, the heads of the puppet soldiers who were hit by the bullets were blown off, and their white brain matter was splattered everywhere.

This horrific scene terrified the group of puppet soldiers, who screamed and fled in all directions.

Under the terrifying shadow of death, the group of puppet soldiers completely collapsed!

Just then, an explosion seemed to come from inside the city, and the Japanese soldiers holding machine guns on the city wall all fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Plop, plop, plop~"

With each dull thud as bodies fell from a height, the Japanese soldiers all died, their brains splattered.

Li Xiao knew that his group of super soldiers had arrived.

His men, each armed with an MP5 submachine gun and carrying five high-explosive grenades, began to slaughter the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops inside the city gate!

In just one minute, the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops guarding Yongding Gate were all annihilated.

Li Xiao had already run back to the ruins, and he pulled the cart and ran wildly toward the city gate.

In just two minutes, he pulled the cart through the city gate. As he passed the carriage, he shouted to the middle-aged man, "Hurry up and run into the city!"

After shouting, he disappeared into the chaotic crowd without looking back.

The middle-aged man was also stunned by the sudden battle and pulled his wife and daughter to lie down under the carriage.

Startled awake by Li Xiao's shout, he scrambled up from under the carriage, immediately had his wife and daughters board the carriage, and told the driver to hurry and drive towards the city.

This battle took place outside Beijing. Even if Japanese reinforcements arrived, they would likely assume it was the work of the guerrillas outside the city, so they would definitely strengthen their blockade of the area outside the city.

Li Xiao, however, did the opposite, dragging his family directly into the city of Beijing.

After completing their mission, Li Xiao's group of men vanished without a trace, like raindrops disappearing into a lake.

Fifteen minutes later, a Japanese company that had come to provide support finally arrived at Yongdingmen in a truck.
