Not long after Qin Shilei finished speaking, bursts of gunfire echoed from afar.
"Let's collect the supplies here first, then go watch a good show."
Qin Shilei walked out of the office and collected all the bows and arrows from the machinery factory, even taking some tools for making and repairing them.
Then, everyone followed the sound and ran westward along the road.
From a distance, they could vaguely see two groups of people fiercely exchanging fire.
Qin Shilei and his group cautiously crept into a nearby four-story building.
As they got closer, they realized that Dark Moon was currently gaining the upper hand against the Yellow Dragon Sect.
This was because most of the Yellow Dragon Sect members who had guns were killed by Qin Shilei and his group at the machinery factory.
They now only had twenty to thirty guns, while Dark Moon had forty to fifty guns, plus over a hundred crossbows.
Although the archery skills of those archers were limited, a volley of arrows was enough to suppress the Yellow Dragon Sect members so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Back and forth, the numbers on both sides dwindled.
"Sect Leader, I'll go back to the base immediately and bring all our people over. We'll crush them with sheer numbers," the burly man said indignantly.
The Yellow Dragon Sect claimed to be the number one force in the base, and of course, they had more than a hundred people.
They had simply thought that dealing with Qin Shilei wouldn't require so many, so they had called out all one hundred elites.
This was even to guard against the potential appearance of Dark Moon.
"Brainless," Cai Yuanqing glared at his subordinate and said in a deep voice, "Those are just fair-weather followers. How could they charge forward with sabers against gunfire?"
Liu Ying suggested, "Vice Sect Leader, a few of us can sneak over and throw some explosives to kill those archers."
"Good." Cai Yuanqing pondered for a moment, realizing that only he and a few other masters could break the current predicament.
Gathering the explosives from his subordinates, Cai Yuanqing and the others crept towards the enemy from various cover points.
When they were about twenty to thirty meters away, the four of them simultaneously rushed out from their cover, their figures transforming into blurs as they rapidly charged forward.
"We've been waiting for you!" Feng Yuxiu shouted loudly, "Shoot!"
Immediately, the remaining twenty to thirty gunmen and fifty to sixty archers stood up from their cover and unleashed a volley at the four rapidly approaching figures.
"Hold the line!" The burly man, whose movement was the most cumbersome, roared. Golden light erupted from his body as he prepared to withstand the bullets and arrows. He pulled the pins on several grenades and threw them.
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Ah!"
The burly man was riddled with bullets after withstanding them for less than two seconds.
"Boom!"
Although he died, the grenades he threw dispersed the enemy formation.
Meanwhile, Cai Yuanqing and the other two had darted behind the pillars of the buildings on both sides of the road as soon as the gunmen appeared. After hearing the sound of explosions, they flashed out from behind the pillars again and threw the grenades in their hands.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Another series of explosions. The remaining gunmen and archers of Dark Moon no longer dared to show their heads.
"Die!" Cai Yuanqing and the others, who had been suppressed, finally gained the upper hand and charged towards Feng Yuxiu again.
Dark Moon elites who occasionally poked their heads out to shoot couldn't aim at the rapidly moving trio, and instead were burned to ashes by the fireballs thrown by Langzi.
Dark Moon was forced to lead his left and right-hand men to confront them together.
"The show has been quite entertaining, time for me to make an appearance." Qin Shilei drew the Jinghong Sword and prepared to descend.
"I'll go with you," An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli said simultaneously.
"Okay." Qin Shilei readily agreed, then said to Zhang Qiang, who was also preparing to follow, "You're still injured, stay here with them."
Zhang Qiang, thinking of Qin Shilei's strength, nodded in agreement.
Upon reaching a nearby location, Qin Shilei first fired a rocket at the elites of the Yellow Dragon Sect.
"Boom!"
The Yellow Dragon Sect members immediately scattered and fled. The deafening roar of the artillery shell also caused Cai Yuanqing and the other five people, who were locked in combat, to temporarily separate.
Yes, only five people remained. In a short period, one of Dark Moon's men had been killed by Cai Yuanqing.
"It's you." Feng Yuxiu's expression flickered. He had thought Qin Shilei and his group were already dead, but unexpectedly, they had reappeared here.
Qin Shilei's rocket launcher, resting on his shoulder, swiveled between them: "Hall Master Feng, it seems like the fisherman is about to be eaten by a big fish."
With the rocket launcher pointed at them, everyone's muscles tensed, and their hearts pounded.
Cai Yuanqing said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qin, we have already taken your advice and left. Are you declaring an unending war with us, the Yellow Dragon Gang?"
Qin Shilei smiled indifferently, "Yes, an unending war. Do you have any objections?"
A sharp glint flashed in Cai Yuanqing's eyes, "Mr. Qin, don't court death. A mere rocket launcher won't scare me."
Qin Shilei willed it, and the rocket launcher disappeared into his ring, "I never intended to kill you with a rocket launcher."
Seeing the rocket launcher that had made them tremble disappear, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
Cai Yuanqing turned and gave Feng Yuxiu a subtle glance. Feng Yuxiu nodded slightly.
"Attack!" Cai Yuanqing shouted, lunging at Qin Shilei like a leopard.
"Go!" Feng Yuxiu turned and fled into the distance.
"Good, come on." Qin Shilei drew the Jinghong Sword and met Cai Yuanqing.
"Blazing Star!" An Qian flicked her wrist, throwing a fireball at Feng Yuxiu, then her figure moved as she pursued him.
"Thousand Vine Technique!" Zhang Xiaoli cast two vines towards Feng Yuxiu's subordinate and also drew her saber to chase after him.
As soon as Cai Yuanqing engaged Qin Shilei, he was greatly astonished. The opponent's strength and speed were far superior to his own, and not by a small margin. With a single blow, his dagger nearly flew out of his hand. Fortunately, Liu Ying's ice cones arrived just then, forcing the opponent to withdraw and block a sword strike. Langzi also ran over to assist in the encirclement.
"Be careful, don't confront him head-on," Cai Yuanqing loudly warned his subordinates. Langzi, hearing this, used a feint to try and deflect the force of Qin Shilei's sword.
"Heh heh." Qin Shilei chuckled, "I prefer to clash head-on." With a flick of his wrist, the Jinghong Sword moved along Langzi's saber, striking fiercely towards the hilt. Langzi felt a tremendous force transmit from the opponent's long sword. He could no longer grip his saber with his right hand, and with a clang, it was knocked flying. Langzi used a bridge to avoid Qin Shilei's frontal sword strike.
At this moment, Cai Yuanqing, holding his dagger, stabbed at Qin Shilei's lower back, attempting a diversionary attack. Qin Shilei sidestepped and slashed downwards, taking a piece of flesh from Langzi's left arm before intercepting Cai Yuanqing's dagger.
"Phasing!" Cai Yuanqing suddenly became ethereal and then completely vanished. Qin Shilei swung his sword in the direction he remembered the opponent to be, but struck nothing. Just then, a faint whistling sound came from the left. Qin Shilei sidestepped and slashed to the left, still missing. Suddenly, all the hair on his body stood on end, and his spiritual senses warned him frantically. The back of his head throbbed. At this moment, Langzi's fireball and Liu Ying's ice cones flew towards him rapidly from left and right.
