Bright Sword: Starting from Obtaining the Equipment Slot

Five Japanese soldiers, their yellow uniforms askew, rifles dangling from their waists, their faces flushed with alcohol, their eyes lewd and cruel.

"Pretty girls! Pretty girls, get to work!" The leading Japanese squad leader, reeking of alcohol, scurried around the theater with his beady eyes.

The audience members stood up, heads bowed, and walked out. These days, who doesn't know the Japanese devils' character? If you can't afford to mess with them, you can only hide.

The Japanese soldiers' eyes were immediately fixed on the stage.

The actors on stage were terrified, and the actresses were especially pale-faced, huddled together in a ball.

"Hehe, pretty girl, don't run away!" A Japanese soldier lewdly pounced on her and reached out to grab her.

The actress screamed and dodged backward, while the Japanese soldiers chased after her, emitting lewd laughter that was nauseating to hear.

Another Japanese soldier captured the young man, who trembled with fear and cried out, "Sir! I'm a man! I'm a man!"

The Japanese soldier paused for a moment, then released his grip.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese squad leader next to him walked over, looked Qian Dan up and down, and grinned with a perverted smile: "A man? Even better! I prefer men!"

He suddenly hugged Qian Dan and leaned in to kiss him.

Qian Dan struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all.

Upon seeing this, a Japanese soldier nearby raised his gun, pointed it at the ceiling, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!!!"

The gunshot startled everyone in the theater.

The audience could no longer contain themselves and rushed out like madmen. The actors also panicked and ran backstage.

Just then, a male actor suddenly rushed out, stood in front of the female actor, pointed at the Japanese soldiers, and roared, "Beasts! You bunch of beasts! I'll fight you to the death!"

The Japanese squad leader was stunned for a moment, then sneered and smashed the male actor on the head with the butt of his rifle.

"Bang!"

The male actor screamed, blood splattered, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Duan Peng's eyes instantly turned red!

He suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, ready to rush forward and fight to the death.

But before making a move, he subconsciously glanced at Wei Dayong.

Wei Dayong had already stood up, his eyes were cold, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

He glanced at Duan Peng, then at the tragic scene on the stage, and gritted his teeth, uttering a few words: "Ma Feng! Zheng Dali!"

The two men immediately stood up: "Battalion Commander!"

"Take advantage of the chaos to go to the Zhou family and pick them up! Meet at the North Gate in half an hour!"

"Yes!" The two exchanged a glance and quickly disappeared into the chaotic crowd.

Two plainclothes officers outside the Zhou residence heard the gunshots coming from the theater and ran over. Seeing the Japanese soldiers committing atrocities inside, they not only did not stop them, but instead, together with their two companions who had come in earlier, they stood guard at the entrance of the theater to prevent anyone from running out to report the crime.

Wei Dayong's lips curled into a cold smile.

He flexed his wrists, and the bones crackled like popping beans.

With the support of the two pieces of equipment, the 20% increase in physical attributes made him feel like he was bursting with explosive power, as if he could shatter a city wall with a single punch!

Not to mention the "become stronger with every breath" skill that is constantly and subtly enhancing your abilities.

"Make your move!" Wei Dayong roared, his voice booming like thunder.

Duan Peng rushed towards the stage in an instant.

He moved nimbly through the chaotic crowd and quickly caught up with the Japanese soldier chasing the actress.

Wei Dayong's gaze swept across the opera stage and landed on the three bags of millet on the table next to him.

He bent down, grabbed a bag of millet with one hand, and his arm muscles bulged and veins popped out!

"Go to hell!!!"

He threw the bag of millet like a cannonball, and with a whistling sound, it hit a Japanese soldier squarely on the back of the head!

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled thud, the Japanese soldier's head was smashed like a watermelon by a heavy hammer, and he fell straight down without even uttering a sound!

Without stopping, Wei Dayong grabbed the second bag of millet and threw it violently again!

"Whoosh—Bang!!!"

The second Japanese soldier was also hit on the back of the head, his head tilted to one side, and he fell limply to the ground!

The third bag of millet, Wei Dayong aimed at the Japanese soldier who was standing aside watching the commotion!

"Not even for buying soy sauce! You're eating my whole bag!!!"

The bag of millet, carrying immense force, slammed into the Japanese soldier's face!

"Awooo—!"

The Japanese soldier screamed in agony as his nose was smashed to pieces, blood gushing out. He staggered back a few steps and collapsed to the ground.

Duan Peng had already rushed up behind the Japanese soldier who was chasing the actress.

He grabbed the Japanese soldier's shoulder and pulled him backward sharply, causing the soldier to lose his balance and fall heavily to the ground.

Duan Peng seized the rifle and slammed it down hard on the Japanese soldier's chest!

"Snap!!!"

The sound of ribs breaking was clearly audible. The Japanese soldier screamed, twitched a few times on the ground, and then lay still.

Wei Dayong walked to the table, grabbed the table legs with both hands, and suddenly exerted force!

"Snap!!!"

He forcefully ripped the table legs off, sending wood chips flying everywhere!

He picked up a table leg and swung his arm out like an iron whip!

"Whoosh!!!"

The table leg whistled through the air and slammed precisely into the chest of a plainclothes officer!

"puff--!"

The plainclothes officer screamed, his chest caved in, and he flew backward, crashing into the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot!

Wei Dayong swung the second table leg again!

"Whoosh!!!"

This time, the table leg smashed into the temple of the second plainclothes officer!

"Snap!!!"

Before the plainclothes officer could even scream, his head shattered like a rotten watermelon, and his body collapsed limply to the ground!

The third table leg!

"Whoosh!!!"

The table leg slammed hard into the abdomen of the third plainclothes officer!

"puff--!"

The plainclothes officer screamed as his abdomen was smashed open, his intestines spilling out. He clutched his stomach and convulsed in agony on the ground before dying shortly afterward.

The fourth table leg!

"Whoosh!!!"

This table leg, carrying immense force, pierced directly into the chest of the fourth plainclothes officer!

"Pfft!!!"

The table leg pierced through the plainclothes officer's chest and emerged from his back, drawing out a spray of blood!

The plainclothes officer's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he tried to scream but couldn't make a sound. His body twitched a few times and then went completely still!

The four plainclothes officers didn't even have time to react before Wei Dayong smashed them to death with a table leg!

The theater fell silent instantly, with only the terrified breathing of the Japanese squad leader remaining.

Three people were killed by the millet bag, and Duan Peng knocked down one. Now, only the Japanese squad leader is left!

The Japanese squad leader was terrified when he saw the corpses all over the ground and turned to run away.

"Trying to run? Don't you like tough guys? Am I tough enough?" Wei Dayong roared, his voice like thunder.

He rushed forward and kicked the Japanese squad leader in the knee!

"Snap!!!"

With his kneecap shattered by the kick, the Japanese squad leader screamed and fell to his knees.

Wei Dayong stepped forward, raised his foot, and stomped on his neck!

"Go to hell!!!"

He exerted force suddenly!

"Snap!!!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the Japanese squad leader's neck was snapped under his foot. His head lolled to one side, his eyes wide open, filled with fear and resentment. His body twitched a few times and then went completely still!

The entire battle lasted less than a minute!

Wei Dayong stood in the center of the opera stage, exuding a terrifying aura, like a god of death returned from hell!

Duan Peng walked to his side, looked at the Japanese corpses scattered on the ground, and his face showed shock and admiration. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Brother Wei, you are truly a savior sent from heaven, like a god among men!"

Wei Dayong sneered and remained silent.

He walked over to the injured actor, knelt down to examine him, and said, "It's just a superficial wound; he won't die. You guys hurry up and get out of the city before the Japanese soldiers react!"

The Peking Opera actors nodded in agreement, helped the male actor, and hurriedly ran towards the back door.

Wei Dayong walked to the door, dragged the four plainclothes corpses to the door, and arranged them in a guard position, pretending that they were still alive.

Then, he began confiscating the weapons of the plainclothes officers and the Japanese soldiers.

He handed a pistol to Duan Peng: "Take this for self-defense."

Duan Peng took the pistol, gripped it tightly in his hand, and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Brother Wei!"

Wei Dayong hid the remaining weapons somewhere and said to Duan Peng, "Let's go to the North Gate!"

The two quickly left the theater and ran towards the north gate.

Meanwhile, Ma Feng and Zheng Dali had already arrived at the Zhou family's courtyard.

Ma Feng gently knocked on the door, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law, Mr. Zhou Wenxu sent us to pick you and the child up," Ma Feng said in a low voice.

The door opened, and a woman in her thirties stood in the doorway, her face showing wariness and unease. Behind her, a girl of about twelve or thirteen clung tightly to her legs, her eyes filled with fear.

"Who are you? Where is my husband?" Su Wanqing asked.

"Sister-in-law, there's no time to explain! Mr. Zhou is safe now. He sent us to pick you up and take you out of the city! This is a token!" Ma Feng said as he took out the token that Zhou Wenxu had given them before he left.

Upon seeing the token, Su Wanqing relaxed somewhat. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at her daughter and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go!"

Ma Feng and Zheng Dali helped Su Wanqing pack her valuables, and then quickly left the Zhou family courtyard with Zhou Nian, running towards the north gate.

On the way, Zhou Nian whispered to her mother, "Mom, does Dad not want us anymore?"

Su Wanqing hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes slightly red: "No, Niannian. Didn't he send Uncle to pick us up? We'll see Daddy soon!"

Soon, they arrived at the North Gate.

Wei Dayong and Duan Peng were already waiting there.

Ma Feng quickly introduced Su Wanqing: "This is our battalion commander, and Mr. Zhou is currently working for him!"

Upon seeing Wei Dayong, Su Wanqing quickly stepped forward: "Battalion Commander Wei, thank you!"

"Don't mention it," Wei Dayong said. "Get out of the city quickly!"

Taking advantage of the city gate guards' inattention, the group mingled with the crowd leaving the city and quietly left Heyuan County.

Not long after leaving the city, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

Wei Dayong looked back and saw a group of Japanese soldiers chasing after them!
