The Little Demonic Cultivator in the Courtyard: Borrowing 100,000 Japanese Pirates to Heal

Xu Jiande emerged from behind the sandbags and, with a single slash, took down the two Japanese soldiers changing shifts.

Two more streams of warmth flowed into his dantian.

Xu Jiande squatted down and continued looting the body. He stripped it of grenades, bullets, and bayonets.

He had more and more grenades hanging on his waist; he counted them and found he had more than fifteen.

enough.

His waist was full of grenades, and they made a slight metallic sound as he walked.

He disposed of all the weapons of the five Japanese soldiers, collecting all their rifles.

Xu Jiande found a secluded corner to sit down, closed his eyes, and began circulating his demonic energy.

The heat in his dantian circulated slowly along his meridians, gradually digesting the life force of the five Japanese soldiers he had just absorbed.

The physical fatigue is receding, replaced by a saturated, ready-to-go sense of power.

Qi and blood are compressed and fused in the dantian, becoming pure energy that spreads through the blood vessels to the limbs and bones.

The muscles were trembling slightly, the urge to explode after the strength had been saturated.

The demonic energy circulated three times, and the body returned to its peak condition.

Xu Jiande opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and stretched his wrists and shoulders.

A series of subtle clicking sounds emanated from all the joints in his body, and the power within his muscles seemed like a locked spring.

You can pop out at any time.

Xu Jiande walked back along the alley until he reached a point quite far from the mysterious courtyard.

This location was one he had scouted beforehand; it was about 700 to 800 meters away from the courtyard house, separated by alleys and residential houses. Crucially, there was a bend in the road here, so the Japanese machine guns couldn't hit it.

He picked up a Type 38 rifle, pointed the muzzle at the sentry post he had previously cleared, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of a gunshot rang out in the quiet night, like a firecracker going off.

Gunshots echoed through the empty streets, bouncing off the walls on either side and carrying into the distance in waves.

After firing the first shot, he fired the second and the third.

He kept changing positions while firing, running a few steps after each shot, then moving to a different spot to fire another shot.

Soon, the nearby Japanese soldiers were alerted.

Whistles sounded from all directions, urgent and sharp, followed by the chaotic sound of leather boots on the bluestone slabs, mixed with shouts in the Japanese language and the clanging of metal as rifle bolts were pulled.

Several beams of flashlight flickered in the darkness, sweeping across the walls and the ground, illuminating the debris in the alley with intermittent light.

The footsteps grew increasingly dense, surging in from several surrounding alleys and converging on the direction from which the gunshots rang out.

Soon, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the alley to the north, at least seven or eight of them.

The first few carried rifles, followed by a machine gunner carrying a Type 96 machine gun.

As they ran, they fired in the direction of the gunfire. Bullets whizzed past Xu Jiande's head, hitting the wall behind him and sending up fragments of brick.

Xu Jiande grinned in the darkness.

He continued firing as he retreated, the muzzle flash of his rifle flickering in the darkness as he ran and shot.

One person can deliver the firepower of three or four people.

Unable to determine the exact number of Xu Jiande's men, the Japanese began to disperse and advanced from three directions simultaneously, firing as they went, attempting to encircle Xu Jiande.

At this moment, a group rushed out from the alley to the north, another group surged out from the east, and footsteps could be heard from the west.

The only direction where there was no movement was the direction of that mysterious courtyard house.

Xu Jiande became even more certain of his judgment: there was definitely something wrong with this place.

The Japanese didn't send anyone to rush from this side, probably because there was some important person on that side, or they had set some kind of trap.

Xu Jiande continued firing and continued running.

Bullets flew past him, hitting the brick wall and sending sparks flying. One even grazed his ear, the sharp whistling sound making his eardrums ache.

But he didn't stop; he ran even faster than before.

Only then did he take a grenade from his waist, pull the fuse, and throw it at the few Japanese soldiers chasing him the closest.

boom!

The grenade exploded in the darkness.

A flash of light, and the shockwave kicked up rubble and dust from the ground. Screams came from the center of the explosion, and several more Japanese soldiers were killed.

Xu Jiande didn't stop; he kept running and changing positions.

Once the number of people gathered in a certain alley was about right, at least a dozen Japanese soldiers poured out of that alley.

Xu Jiande removed the grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it again.

This time, the target was the location where the Japanese machine gunners were.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The grenade landed precisely at the machine gunner's feet, and with a deafening roar, the machine gun fell silent. The shockwave, along with the two assistant gunners beside him, knocked them to the ground.

What followed was a cat-and-mouse game in the alley.

Xu Jiande moved back and forth between the alleys, firing his gun and throwing grenades, shooting and running away, then shooting again.

He had plenty of ammunition, with more than a dozen grenades hanging from his waist and several captured rifles strapped to his back.

The Japanese soldiers surrounded him from three directions, but they could never pinpoint his exact location. Every time they thought they had him cornered, they rushed in only to find that he had already escaped by climbing over the wall.

In total, the grenades he threw killed no fewer than twenty Japanese soldiers.

Adding to the five we took down at the sentry post, tonight's results are quite impressive. But we're running low on grenades.

Only three pills remained on my waist.

Xu Jiande leaned against the wall, catching his breath. Sweat streamed down his forehead, mingling with gunpowder smoke and dust, leaving dark streaks on his face.

He listened to the increasingly dense footsteps and shouts around him, and quickly calculated in his mind.

There are only two options now.

Either evacuate immediately, or escape by scaling the wall before the encirclement is completely closed.

Either loot the corpses, rush to the group of Japanese soldiers who were just killed, steal their grenades and ammunition, and keep shooting.

Xu Jiande chose the second option.

He took a deep breath, removed the last three grenades, pulled the pins, and threw them eastward.

Three grenades exploded almost simultaneously, three loud bangs echoing through the alley, flames and black smoke shooting into the air, and shrapnel flying through the narrow lane.

A gap was blown open in the Japanese encirclement, and screams of agony filled the air.

The momentum of the pursuit was abruptly interrupted for a moment.

In that instant, Xu Jiande made his move.

His figure shot out from behind the wall like an arrow, vaulted over the nearest wall, and landed in the alley on the other side.

Several Japanese soldiers lay scattered in the alley, having been shot down by him with a grenade.

He crouched down and quickly searched the corpses, taking grenades off one by one and hanging them on his waist. He then picked up a Type 96 machine gun next to a machine gunner who had been killed in an explosion.

Xu Jiande, carrying a machine gun, climbed over the wall, propped the machine gun on the ground, aimed the muzzle at the advancing Japanese soldiers in the alley, and pulled the trigger.

The gunfire was rapid and intense, with bullets sweeping back and forth in the darkness like a chain of fire.

The machine gun spewed out a long tongue of fire, and bullets swept towards the Japanese soldiers on the other side like a deluge.

Xu Jiande channeled demonic energy into his arms, and the recoil was nothing to him; he kept the gun barrel firmly in his hand.

The Japanese soldiers on the other side were caught off guard by the sudden machine gun fire and couldn't lift their heads; several were swept down on the spot.

When he ran out of machine gun ammo, he immediately replaced the magazine and continued firing.

Now the Japanese troops are completely unable to advance.

They could only lie on the ground and fire back randomly. Of course, they also wanted to climb over the wall, but the wall was too high and they couldn't get over it.

After firing the machine gun for about seven or eight minutes, Xu Jiande felt the barrel getting hot, and knew that if he continued firing, it would be ruined.

Just then, the machine gun ran out of bullets.

Xu Jiande threw the machine gun on the ground, grabbed a grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw two more grenades in the direction of the Japanese soldiers.

Then, under the cover of the grenade explosion, he climbed over another wall behind him and jumped down.

This time he didn't linger in the fight.

The wall was over three meters high, making it very difficult for the Japanese soldiers to scale. If they didn't run and charge at close range, they definitely wouldn't have made it through.

The Japanese had no idea where Xu Jiande was.

Xu Jiande then quickly headed towards the courtyard house.

The Japanese soldiers were secretly pleased to see that the machine guns had finally fallen silent, but they still did not advance quickly. Instead, they proceeded more cautiously and slowly.

At that moment, the sound of a grenade exploding suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

Xu Jiande threw five grenades in one go from a distance of 300 meters.

He has now reached the second level of Qi Refining, and his strength is much greater than before. He can easily throw grenades three hundred meters away.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosions almost came one after another, and flames rose one after another in the night sky, illuminating the outline of the courtyard house in and out of the darkness for a moment.

Screams and incoherent shouts came from the courtyard, followed by the muffled thud of a building collapsing.

The machine guns roared again in the courtyard.

There were even machine guns inside, and rifle shots were heard.

Moreover, the other side even had a sniper.
