Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Bullets rained down on the windows.

This is to prevent himself from escaping through the window.

Unfortunately, those soldiers never expected this.

They had already escaped from the roof when they launched the attack.

The so-called encirclement is a joke in the face of advance warning and absolute speed.

Chapter 118 Destroying the Azure Dragon

Beside the Wanhua Tower.

It is separated by several courtyards and more than ten houses.

In a two-courtyard house, the main hall has high, upturned eaves on the second floor, and a spacious pavilion...

Dozens of courtesans in the courtyard trembled with fear.

Under the shouts of the musician and the guards, his eyes were filled with confusion.

On one side of the courtyard, there were many chests and boxes, covered with silk umbrellas...

Clearly, some valuable goods that had been reserved by important figures in the Wan Hua Lou had already been moved here in advance.

Abdullah, the right wing lieutenant of the inner city, stood on high ground with an excellent view.

He held a pair of binoculars in his hand, his deep-set eagle eyes revealing a sinister and ruthless nature.

He sneered, "Everyone says that this Nezha, the Third Prince, is incredibly audacious and ruthless, and no one can control him. Now it seems he's nothing special."

"The general's plans are flawless, and he thinks of things that no one before him has thought of. He is truly admirable."

Beforehand, I never expected that this person's martial arts skills would actually be this powerful.

The three renowned masters, five headmen, and two highly skilled individuals from the Great Snow Mountain of Wanhualou failed to pose a significant threat to him.

It is truly awe-inspiring and lamentable that they were defeated in one fell swoop.

Only you, General, prepared a second wave of attack, setting up a formidable trap to catch them like turtles in a jar.

A middle-aged man with a rat-like mustache, dressed as an official, fawned over Abda, saying, "The only thing I don't understand is why the general deployed his troops two streets away instead of surrounding them beforehand."

This would cause a slight delay in activation, which isn't as convenient.

"Hehe, doing things conveniently for oneself is also doing things conveniently for others. That's the clever idea behind General Abda's strategy." A military officer next to him glanced at Abda's expression and explained with a smile.

When we set up the ambush, we did consider placing our troops in the surrounding residential areas.

After reviewing it, the general declared it inappropriate. As it turned out, his earlier concerns were not unfounded.

Li Xin was able to break through the army's encirclement multiple times not because he was truly unafraid of the army formation, but because no one could get close to him.

Looking at the two encounters, one can see the difference.

This person has extremely keen senses; he can detect movements from a great distance.

If they get too close, they will be detected before they can even attack, and will turn and flee.

Even if they had overwhelming power and turned to attack, no matter how many soldiers they had, they couldn't possibly surround and kill him.

Now that the ambush is far away, the sudden attack will be completely unexpected, leaving him with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

Abda nodded, a hint of smugness in his expression, and laughed, "That's right, this formation surrounds us on all sides, with arrows clearing the way and muskets providing cover."

Then, armored warriors charged forward, undeterred by death... coming in a ferocious, overwhelming attack like two dragons emerging from the water. Even if he had wings, he would still be doomed.

He had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly, the official with the rat-whisker beside him exclaimed in surprise, "What is that?"

"not good."

"It's actually possible?"

"After all the calculations, we realized that the area was sealed off on all sides, but we never expected that we would overlook the possibility of a route through the air."

Following the direction the official with the rat-whisker pointed, the people in the pavilion were all dumbfounded.

Amidst the flames, a figure soared into the sky.

The roof tiles were broken, and wood chips were flying everywhere.

The man soared through the air like an eagle, lightly touching the eaves and walls with his toes, and had already covered ten zhang in the air.

Several leaps and bounds came rushing in.

In just a few breaths, the figure drew closer and closer, and one could even hear the sound of the wind whistling through the air as the figure's clothes fluttered.

Looking through the rain.

That red dress was as striking as fresh blood.

How did he know about this place?

"Who is it? Who is tipping us off?"

A great commotion erupted in the attic.

Abda, who was usually so composed, now had a hint of panic in his eyes.

Directing an attack from a distance is one thing, but actually facing your opponent head-on is quite another.

In particular, he had previously used binoculars to observe Li Xin's actions from a distance.

I also witnessed the methods of this wicked god who liked to send out "Yama's Decree".

So many martial arts masters, even when surrounded, couldn't withstand his three or two moves.

Regardless of the means used—whether it's a conspiracy, a sneak attack, begging for mercy, or feigning death.

In his eyes, none of it mattered.

So now, his whereabouts have been discovered, and he has been targeted for murder.

Is there any way they can escape?

"Prepare for the enemy!"

Abda had no idea what to do and could only shout and scream.

At the same time, he drew his long sword from his waist.

"I must say, your plan was quite ruthless. In order to catch me off guard, you actually wanted so many people to perish in the fire."

Although it's said that one shouldn't be merciful in command of an army, this is dealing with one's own people! How could you be so ruthless? You truly don't treat people like human beings.

Li Xin's figure flickered and flashed, and he had already leaped onto the pavilion.

His gaze swept around and settled on Abda.

"You're too vicious, I don't like you at all, so I'm not going to waste my breath on you."

The words had barely left his mouth.

He suddenly thrust out his spear.

A loud shriek erupted.

They were still three zhang away.

With a single shot, the man followed the gun, the cold light already reaching Abda's throat.

"The Guard General".

"Come on."

Four or five men shouted in unison, brandishing knives and guns, and charged forward.

puff……

Before the group could even reach Abda, they were already in front of him.

Everyone heard a soft tearing sound.

Turning his head, he saw that the imposing general had only raised his long sword to his chest and abdomen when a large hole was already pierced through his throat, and blood spurted out like an arrow.

He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body.

His eyes were wide open, staring at the sky, and his body slowly fell backward.

"General."

Amidst the roars of the crowd, Li Xin sneered, "You're nothing but a chicken and a dog, utterly pathetic."

After saying that, he swung his gun and charged straight ahead.

The gun was fired, making a series of hissing sounds.

Within a few breaths, there was no one left standing on the attic.

Li Xin jumped downstairs and entered the courtyard.

"Those who act as accomplices to evil deserve to die."

Amidst the terrified gazes of the guards and soldiers, the carnage was left strewn across the ground.

"Hongxiu, come here."

Li Xin shouted loudly and casually threw out a signal arrow.

With a whoosh, a stream of fire shot into the sky.

He dragged his spear backwards, leaped out of the courtyard, and rushed into the misty rain.

What followed was a repeat of the collapse of the army the previous day.

He then proceeded from left to right and from right to left, killing all the officers and commanders.

The two long lines of soldiers collapsed even faster than the Han army.

The only thing that surprised Li Xin was that these people ran like rabbits.

More than ten people caught fire because they were running so fast that they put their torches and kerosene together.

That's kind of funny.

"With an army like this, with such quality, how can they fight a war? How can they possibly stop foreigners?"

Although he felt bad that everything was his own doing, Li Xin still felt uneasy.

No wonder foreigners look down on them.

Even he himself felt extremely ashamed.

Allowing this regime to continue is irresponsible to the millions of people.

“To bully the common people is like being a wolf or a tiger… But when it comes to fighting a tough battle, it’s like being a tiger in fear of the enemy.”

Li Xin returned after fighting his way through the area.

The Wan Hua Lou finally caught fire.

The sound of wailing echoed through the long street from inside the building.

Chapter 119 Breaking Through the Might, Borrowing a Knife

More and more people gradually gathered around to watch.

Dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people...

At first glance, it was a dense mass of surging heads.

I watched from a distance, without getting close.

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Some people sighed.

Some people wept bitterly.
