Courtyard Houses: Longevity Since the War of Resistance

The city of Su was liberated at 4:26 PM, and I arrived in Nanshi at 4:50 PM.

Thank you, little Japanese devils, for sending us this big airplane. I have no way to repay you, so I can only send more Japanese devils underground to keep you company.

Suzhou didn't have an airport in the era before I traveled back in time, but my buddy had a private plane. As you can see from the battle in Suzhou, airplanes are incredibly lethal to infantry. But for the battles to come, I don't want to use airplanes, let alone guns, grenades, or other firearms.

Nanshi, a place that evokes unforgettable pain for all Chinese people, is the site of the tragedy of the winter of 1937, where 300,000 innocent souls still weep in the Yangtze River.

I'm back this year, I'm here today, and I'm going to make those Japanese devils die one by one under my blade, with my own hands!!! At close range!!!

Since I acquired the art of sword nurturing, I have carried a large sword on my back. The blade is thick and heavy, with a ring on the back. It is a simplified version of the Snow Drinking Sword, and when I swing it, it sounds like a tiger roaring.

Today is the day to draw our swords.

The plane landed in an abandoned field outside Nanshi. I stood on the edge of the field, looking at the outline of Nanshi in the distance, and brought up the system panel.

well.

This is exactly what I need. I don't want the citizens of Nanshi to witness the impending carnage. It's not that I'm afraid they'll be scared, but that I'm afraid they'll see me as a monster like the Japanese devils.

At 5:11:04, I'm on the move. 5114, I want you dead! (A little pun)

A snap of the fingers, an explosion. The god of deception, activated.

Invisible ripples spread out from me, like pebbles thrown into stagnant water, spreading across the entire South City. The 300,000 residents of South City were completely unaware that they were in a reality I had woven. It was an ordinary evening, with Japanese soldiers on patrol, the streets deserted, the twilight gentle, and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys.

But the Japanese soldiers on the city wall saw a completely different scene.

The citizens of Nanshi have disappeared; there is no one else in the entire Nanshi except for the Japanese soldiers.

it is good.

The curtain rises, and it's time for the main character to take the stage.

I strode towards the city gate, the broadsword on my back humming in its sheath. Five hundred meters from the gate, the sentries on the city wall spotted me.

"Who?!"

I didn't stop. Seeing that I didn't stop, the Japanese opened fire. A pale golden light covered my whole body, and the bullets rang out as they hit it. It was the Golden Light Mantra!

There was a moment of silence on the city wall, then an uproar ensued.

"This person is not afraid of guns."

Why is there golden light emanating from him?

"He's not human!!!"

I was now only 100 meters from the city gate. I took a deep breath, expanded my chest, and roared with all my might: "Matsu-i-Ishi-gen, I'm here to take your dog's life!"

The sound was like thunder. The Japanese soldiers on the city wall, who were closest to the sound, covered their ears, blood welling in their palms. They had gone deaf.

The Buddhist lion roars! Even the fierce Vajra will kill the Japanese devils in Nanshi!

From a distance of fifty meters, raise both hands vertically and place them on your face, palms facing your face.

"Solar Fist"

A light ten, a hundred, a thousand times brighter than a searchlight exploded from behind. It wasn't ordinary light; it was as if a piece of the sun had been torn off and smashed to the ground, as if daylight had been resurrected, as if vision had been put to death.

The screams of the Japanese soldiers on the city wall rose and fell. Some threw down their guns and covered their eyes, some fell off the city wall, and some bumped around like headless flies.

After becoming deaf, they went blind.

I want to torture them, to ravage them, and to use every means to make them know that the crimes they have committed are unforgivable. Today, there are no prisoners in Nanshi.

Bend forward, gather strength. Step back with your right foot, bend your left leg slightly, and your whole body resembles a fully drawn bow.

Stomp on the ground!

A crater was blasted open in the ground, sending dirt and debris flying. A figure shot out like a cannonball, tracing an almost straight trajectory through the air, heading straight for the city gate.

In mid-air, raise your right leg, bend your knee, and then...

"Tathagata Divine Feet!!!"

The entire section of the city wall collapsed, and the Japanese soldiers were reduced to dust.

He landed, stepped on the ruins, dusted off his trousers, entered the city, snapped his fingers, and the city wall was restored to its original state.

The revenge begins.
