Traveling Through the Heavens: Intercepting Duan Yu at the Beginning

“Swish…Pah…”

"boom!"

"Da da da... bang..."

Before Marshal Long could stand firmly, he heard the sound of artillery fire coming from all around him. He subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist, but found nothing.

"What's going on? Where's my gun?"

He was horrified. There were no guns on the battlefield. This was just waiting to die.

"No, why is my marshal's uniform gone too?"

Suddenly, he looked down at his attire. His original marshal uniform had long disappeared, replaced by a gown that couldn't be more ordinary.

"Fellow countryman, hurry up and don't stay here."

"The Japs have already entered the city. Hurry and leave through the south gate."

A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform that Marshal Long had never seen before and holding a Mauser pistol in his hand suddenly appeared in front of him and spoke to him anxiously.

"Who are you? Where am I? What devil?"

Marshal Long was bewildered. He had no idea what was going on.

"My fellow countrymen, the Japanese invaders have opened our country's borders, and now the land of China is devastated. We are the ones who have let you down."

"Hurry up and leave. The farther the better. We will stop them at all costs. Let's go!"

As soon as the middle-aged man in military uniform finished speaking, a bullet pierced his head, and bright red, warm blood splashed all over Marshal Long's face.

"This... is dead?"

Marshal Long stared blankly at the middle-aged man lying in front of him, feeling inexplicably touched.

It's not that he has never killed anyone, nor is it the first time he has seen a dead person. As a general with military power, killing is just the norm.

But in the past, he had ordered the killings and even killed people with his own hands, but this time, someone stood in front of him and died to save him.

Marshal Long didn't know why he felt so deeply touched, and the situation at the scene was not enough to make him think about these things.

In the distance, an army holding plaster flags was marching through the broken city gate and rushing into the city. They killed anyone they saw and set fire to any house they saw.

In just a moment, the originally prosperous city turned into a hellish scene.

"Fellow countryman, let's go!"

Another soldier in military uniform rushed to Marshal Long. Without saying a word, he pulled Marshal Long up and fled into the distance.

In this way, Marshal Long was dragged along in a daze for a long time. He saw people around him falling one after another. He saw that wherever the plaster flag passed, the towns were all turned into ruins.

He also saw young girls being brutally raped and killed, and their bodies being tortured, while the boys were disemboweled, beheaded, and their bodies thrown into the wilderness.

Looking at what the Plaster Country's army did, Marshal Long's eyes couldn't stop trembling. He naturally knew where this army came from. After all, he had contact with them on a regular basis. However, he didn't expect that this group of people were just beasts in human skin.

Finally, after seeing someone fall in front of him again, Marshal Long exploded!

Chapter 118: Whether it happens depends on you

"Fuck you, you bastards, I'm going to kill you!"

Looking at the soldiers lying on the ground, Marshal Long suddenly picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground, aimed at a Japanese soldier who was laughing triumphantly in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a handful of blood exploded on the opponent's head.

Killing a Japanese soldier was not the end, but just the beginning. In the following days, Marshal Long joined the army to resist the Japanese soldiers, wandering around the battlefield every day, reaping the lives of one Japanese soldier after another.

However, the power disparity between the two sides was too great. On that day, Marshal Long's army was out of ammunition and food.

More than a dozen soldiers were surrounded on a high slope by thousands of Japanese soldiers, and each of them only had a dozen bullets left.

The enemy, on the other hand, was driving tanks and artillery, and with just one order, they could completely blow up this not-so-high hillside.

"Hahaha, I never thought this would be my ending."

"Brothers, are you afraid?"

Marshal Long laughed loudly towards the sky, but his laughter was full of bitterness and unwillingness.

"Squad leader, we are not afraid. They are just the Japanese. Even if we die, we will stop their invasion!"

A young soldier whose arm was blown off and whose blood was constantly flowing out of the bandage straightened his chest and spoke loudly.

This is a young soldier, only sixteen years old, but he has been fighting on the battlefield for three years.

He originally had two older brothers, but they had died long ago. As for his parents, they had already been tragically killed by the Japanese.

"Well, well done, this is a real Chinese man!"

"Brothers, behind us is our home. Perhaps our families have already died in the battle, but behind us, there are still thousands and thousands of families that need our protection."

"Tell me, can you just watch these beasts continue to wreak havoc on our land?"

"No!" more than a dozen soldiers shouted in unison.

"In that case, let us fight this final battle together. Even if we shed our last drop of blood, we must not let them look down on us."

"Brothers, follow me!"

After saying that, Marshal Long took the lead and rushed down the hillside. He kept pulling the trigger on the worn-out gun in his hand, and each bullet, carrying his full anger, shot at the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the hillside.

Marshal Long fought to the point of madness. His comrades fell one by one, and in the end he was the only one left. However, he still did not slow down his charge in the slightest.

When he ran out of bullets, he drew the big knife behind him and chopped down the Japanese soldier in front of him.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter whether I live or not, I just want you to die!"

The big knife, which was already full of gaps, chopped into the body of the Japanese soldier and then got stuck in the bones. He wanted to snatch the gun from the other party, but a bullet hit him in the middle of his eyebrows.

"It's really frustrating that I can only kill so few people..."

Marshal Long fell heavily to the ground, his hand tightly gripping the big knife, never letting go until his death.

The feeling of dizziness came again, and Marshal Long's consciousness returned to reality. He did not move for a long time.

"So this is the scene that the formation illusion allowed them to see."

"The bandits invaded, and the country was destroyed. Facing an enemy with advanced weapons, we could only use outdated firearms or even cold weapons to kill them."

"A scene like this... is so despairing!"

Marshal Long murmured to himself that the scene in the illusion was too despairing and there was no hope of victory at all.

"Come out, it seems you have gained a lot in the illusion!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Marshal Long slowly turned his head and looked at the familiar face beside him, and his eyes finally showed some spirit.

It was not until then that he realized that although a long time had passed in the illusion, only three minutes had passed in reality.

"Brother Chen, are those things in the illusion real?"

"Our country will be destroyed like this by the invaders, and our compatriots will be tortured and become their playthings for wanton bullying."

"Can we...can we see hope?"

Marshal Long's lips trembled. He couldn't accept what happened in the illusion.

Chen Fei showed an inexplicable smile on his face: "Who knows!"

"Whether these things will happen or not does not depend on me, but on you and this country!"

"If those in power in this country are ignorant and corrupt, and the people are suffering, and can only rely on other countries for everything, then this day will come sooner or later."

"On the contrary, if the person in power is a wise and powerful person, and every citizen is as brave as a dragon, then people from other countries will never dare to bully us."

"What do you think of the current people in power? How are the people doing?"

Chen Fei looked at Marshal Long with a smile on his face. He did not tell him that this was something that would actually happen in the future. Even if he did not explain some things clearly, the other party should be able to think them through.

Marshal Long fell into silence again. Every word and sentence of Chen Fei seemed to hit his heart heavily, echoing for a long time.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, he naturally knew how corrupt the people at the top were and how miserable the people below them lived.

Once upon a time, he pretended not to see it, or said that as long as he lived a comfortable life, other people's life and death had nothing to do with him.

But it’s different now. If these things in the illusion really happen in the future, then he will have no choice but to take responsibility.

If not for others, then for his son's future, he must create a peaceful and prosperous world.

"I understand, Brother Chen, thank you very much!"

Marshal Long took a few steps back and then bowed straight to Fade Chen.

This bow was to thank Chen Fei for awakening him from his ridiculous past, and more importantly, to thank Chen Fei for his selflessness and for bringing out the power of the powerful ancient martial arts army.

Only when the army is strong can it better protect the people and the country.

"Practice well. Although you are a little old, as long as you practice diligently, you will be much stronger than ordinary people. When you really go to the battlefield in the future, you will have more self-protection capabilities."

Fade Chen patted Marshal Long on the shoulder, then turned and left.

In the following days, Chen Fei taught these people to practice ancient martial arts every day. For someone who possessed more than 90% of the martial arts secrets in the entire Tianlong world, it was not difficult to find a few martial arts to practice.

He did not give any overly advanced skills, but even if it was just second-rate martial arts, it was enough for these people to practice.

The remaining ninety-three soldiers are all relatively young, mostly around twenty years old. Although they have passed the best age for cultivation, as long as they practice diligently, they will eventually achieve something.

As for Marshal Long, he was the oldest and practiced the slowest. Fade Chen had no choice but to use up his true energy to cleanse his meridians and blood vessels so that he could practice more efficiently.

In this way, Chen Fei stayed in the Marshal's Mansion for a full half month, and only left after these people's cultivation was on the right track.

(Today is Qingming Festival. I would like to pay tribute to the martyrs with this chapter!)

Chapter 119: Strange phenomena in heaven and earth, chaos is about to begin

After the affairs of the Marshal's Mansion came to an end, Chen Fei returned to Renjia Town and lived a life of reading and cultivating his character every day, or occasionally going to the charity cemetery to discuss philosophy with his uncle. He seemed to have quite a leisurely life.

I thought that days like this could last for a long time, but unexpectedly something strange happened.

That night, Chen Fei and his friends were gathering together to eat and drink. What was rare was that Taoist Simu happened to be passing by while driving a corpse, and the group of five people sat down together to eat.

At the dinner table, Taoist Simu hesitated for a moment, but still warned Fade Chen to be careful of his senior brother Shi Jian.

Ever since Fade Chen crippled Shi Shaojian's arm, Shi Shaojian has been living in depression every day, and his strength has declined instead of improved.

Seeing his son become like this, Shi Jian's anger was obvious. The disciples of Maoshan had seen Shi Jian with a murderous expression on his face more than once.

Shi Jian knew who he wanted to kill, and it was no one else but Chen Fei, the culprit.

Perhaps, Jiu Shu, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, the three accomplices, are also within the scope of Shi Jian's hatred.

Taoist Simu was close to Uncle Jiu, so naturally he didn't want to see them being killed by Shi Jian without any preparation.

Chen Fei appreciated the kindness of Taoist Simu. Although Shi Shaojian's disability was caused by him, if the other party really wanted to deal with him, Chen Fei would not surrender. He was not the kind of pedantic saintly bitch!

Just as everyone was toasting each other, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky!

The bright moon that originally illuminated the earth suddenly turned blood red, and an aura of disaster filled the air between heaven and earth.

In the mountains and forests, birds and beasts cried in the middle of the night. Countless birds flapped their wings and rushed into the sky, their cries full of panic.

"what happened?"

Qiu Sheng and Wencai were stunned and confused. They were not well-trained and had no idea what this strange phenomenon in the sky and earth meant.

"The sky is filled with murderous intent, the stars are shifting and fighting, this vicious aura is truly terrifying."

Uncle Jiu's face showed horror. This strange scene in the world frightened him so much that his expression changed drastically.

"Brother, could it be that some peerless evil creature has appeared?"

Taoist Simu took a sip of wine with trembling hands. The strange phenomenon that happened that day actually scared these two Taoist masters.

"At that moment, I felt an extremely uncomfortable aura. This aura was extremely sinister and evil, and it was absolutely a murderous thing."

"But I don't know whether this was caused by a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!"

Chen Fei soared into the sky, frowned and observed for a long time, and finally landed on the ground with nothing.

"Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there will be a major upheaval."

"I'm afraid that the Dao sect has already started gathering people to discuss this matter in the middle of the night."
