Xu Shanyang gave the order.
The cannons fired.
Their target was the location where Chen Fan and the others were.
Whoosh whoosh…
One by one, the cannonballs exploded.
They surged out with exaggerated ferocity.
At this very moment, three to four white trails of smoke appeared in the air.
It was terrifying.
Chen Fan and the others had never anticipated a surprise attack, no matter how meticulously they planned.
In a moment, the ground around them erupted, splattering dirt everywhere…
The air was filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder.
The instant the cannonballs fell, Chen Fan had already noticed the signs.
He immediately pulled An Ye to his side, protecting her, and the two hid behind a small dirt mound.
The event unfolded too quickly, giving them no chance to react.
An Ye, her face dark, roared, "Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
"This…"
They were actually being attacked by cannonballs.
If it weren't happening, they would never have dared to imagine it!
An Ye's face was contorted with displeasure.
At the same time, an unprecedented killing intent surged within him!
Chen Fan was relatively calm, saying faintly, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. It seems we have someone behind us!"
An Ye, annoyed, exclaimed, "They actually used such a scale of firearms. Damn it, no martial ethics!"
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Chen Fan replied, "Survive first!"
An Ye stood frozen on the spot upon hearing this, unable to speak.
His face was tight with anger.
Of the more than ten elders before, three to five had failed to dodge and were blown to pieces, their limbs severed.
They let out pig-like screams.
"Ahhh!"
"My arm, my leg, how could this happen?"
"Why!"
"Damn it, who did this!"
"Damn your mother, show your face if you have the guts, you bastard!"
"I'll be damned!"
Three or four elders yelled and cursed without regard for the consequences…
Their eyes seemed to want to devour people.
They were so furious!
At this moment, Wang Feng and Daoist Heiya also hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered.
And to be caught completely off guard by firearms!
It was infuriating!
Daoist Heiya was fortunate to have dodged quickly; otherwise, he might have also become half a person.
The thought of it sent shivers down his spine. Taking a deep breath, he also buried himself behind the small dirt mound.
"Damn it, who the hell did this!"
"Ahhh… I'm going to die!"
Xu Shanyang and his men watched from afar. Feeling it wasn't enough, he ordered his subordinates to bombard them again.
His subordinates cooperated perfectly and continued to bombard fiercely.
In a short while, another wave of cannonballs rained down, thoroughly plowing through the area where Chen Fan and the others had been.
One could imagine how audacious it was!
In a moment, the area was so bombarded that nothing was visible, only billowing white smoke!
Xu Shanyang watched, a manic smile on his face, extremely pleased. He chuckled, "What mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole behind? This is it!"
"Haha!"
"This martial artist probably never imagined I'd be waiting for them in the rear!"
"Boss, you're amazing!" His subordinates laughed, flattering Xu Shanyang.
He said softly, "Brothers, let's bomb them one more time, then we'll make our move!"
"Haha, no problem!"
With that, they bombarded them fiercely one last time, and then revealed themselves.
They surrounded the area where Chen Fan and the others were with all due speed.
Each of them yelled, their faces beaming with triumphant smiles…
