Chapter 1717 - 1718: All-Out Assault
Deployment complete, move out!The Holy Mansion base was located deep in the mountains twenty kilometers north of the city’s Northern Suburb. The base covered a massive area and was divided into six sub-sections, respectively sitting in the east, south, west, north, the central control area, plus a guard post at the base entrance.
Each sub-section had two to three hundred elite fighters stationed there.
With such a layout, let alone that the Holy Mansion was already ridiculously mysterious, even if someone actually found it, trying to attack their way in would still be insanely difficult.
But in this world, there existed a mercenary group called Purgatory!
...
Right now, in the central control section of the Holy Mansion, several core figures were gathered together.
And the man sitting in the main seat of the hall had the face of someone from Yan Country, wearing a long gown with his hair coiled up, handsome and otherworldly.
Zhao Zongsheng!
Amid the slightly quiet atmosphere, Zhao Zongsheng frowned a little and finally spoke: "The operation from the night before last, and there’s still no news today. Your branch in the East Sea has completely lost contact too. What the hell is going on? You still haven’t figured it out?"
A fair-skinned middle-aged man replied, "Young Master Zhao, please be patient. Our people are already on their way to the East Sea. Before dawn, there will definitely be news!"
Zhao Zongsheng’s sword-like brows knit tighter, a very bad feeling rising in his heart.
The others all fell silent as well.
In truth, everyone knew in their hearts that the hundreds of Holy Mansion members hiding in the East Sea suddenly all going dark most likely meant the operation had failed, and they were as good as dead.
It’s just human nature—without seeing the absolute truth, you always cling to a sliver of hope.
Suddenly.
Bang bang bang!
Outside the palace, a burst of rapid, chaotic gunfire suddenly rang out.
Zhao Zongsheng and the rest all looked stunned.
Bang bang bang!
Before they could react, even more frantic and violent gunfire erupted again.
And this time, the gunshots came from all directions, and once they started, they practically refused to stop!
It was like a calm lake all of a sudden having countless boulders thrown into it, ripples exploding everywhere, peace gone in an instant!
The Holy Mansion base, which had never been discovered by anyone since its founding, turned into a merciless battlefield without any warning, in the blink of an eye!
"Everyone on guard, we’ve got hostiles, hostiles!"
An old soldier in the hall snapped out of it and shouted repeatedly, "Protect Young Master Zhao Zongsheng!"
But right at that moment.
Countless venomous snakes suddenly flooded out from every corner of the palace, surging endlessly, a horrifying sight!
...
The horn of war had already been blown.
The five Purgatory squads positioned in all directions struck like thunder almost simultaneously, like raging Dragons crossing the river, unstoppable.
At the guard post, the Purgatory squad led by Chi Lian was fearless and unmatched, savage and invincible.
Bullets swept across, flying knives splattered everywhere!
The Holy Mansion elites at the guard-post sub-section, each of them extraordinarily skilled and all world-class elites, still ultimately lost because they were caught completely off guard. In almost an instant, they were beaten into utter chaos, with practically no room to fight back!
Eastern sub-section!
Ye Xiaoying wielded a long sword, her sword shadows surging like a tide, her figure flashing like lightning. In the eastern division she was like a tiger among sheep, sweeping all before her.
Wherever she passed, corpses littered the ground!
The Purgatory members fighting alongside Ye Xiaoying all stared in shock, gripping their weapons.
"Damn, that’s a real invincible Empress right there!"
"Is there anything we can actually do for her?"
"How about we just go home? This battlefield doesn’t seem to need us at all!"
"..."
Northern sub-section!
Chiba Sakurako had a blade in each hand, completely different from her usual gentle, virtuous little-woman demeanor, transformed into a ruthless, bloodthirsty female War God. Her twin blades whirled like a spinning fan as she charged fearlessly into a hundred-man enemy formation.
Crushing!!
The Purgatory Divine Weapon troops following Chiba Sakurako were stunned as well.
"Why did boss Black Emperor have her lead us into battle? Does she need us? Does she?!"
"I wanna kill people, I wanna kill people too!"
"Sister-in-law Sakurako, show some mercy, we need the enemy’s blood to quench our thirst, at least leave us a little!"
"..."
Hearing the words "sister-in-law Sakurako," Chiba Sakurako couldn’t help but freeze, her pretty face flushing red as ripples surged in her heart, and her movements slowed for a split second because she was distracted.
And just then.
A razor-sharp Ghost Head Saber seized that instant of opening and chopped viciously toward Chiba Sakurako’s stunning head.
By the time Chiba Sakurako came back to her senses, it was already too late!
"Ahhhh, sis, I’ll protect you!!"
Just as Chiba Sakurako was about to become a ghost under the blade, a familiar figure suddenly barreled in from the side, slamming straight into the burly man with the saber and sending him flying.
The Ghost Head Saber slipped from his hand and clattered to the ground.
The small Chiba Kenichi straddled the big man’s body and, using all his strength, smashed a fist down on the guy’s forehead.
The burly man thought he was done for.
But the result...
It didn’t hurt at all!
The big man split his mouth in a wide grin, face full of mockery. "Little kid, you think you can be on a battlefield like this? Looking for death!"
The big man punched Chiba Kenichi back.
Chiba Kenichi didn’t even budge.
The big man was stunned.
What the hell?
The big man suspected he was dreaming.
This shit made no scientific sense!
The small boy sitting on top of him was clearly a snot-nosed battle-scum brat with no punching power at all, so why, when he slammed a full-strength punch into the kid’s forehead, did the kid not react in the slightest?
The big man had seen some things in his time.
He knew that for most experts in this world, offense and defense were rarely balanced, but it had never been this exaggerated!
A battle-scum with zero offensive power actually had damage resistance not inferior to many top-tier masters?
He’d never even heard of such a thing!
Bang!
Before the big man could recover, another limp punch thudded onto his forehead, accompanied by Chiba Kenichi’s incomparably grief-stricken roar: "Holy Mansion scum, I’m gonna kill you, I’m gonna avenge my father!"
Bang!
The big man punched Chiba Kenichi again.
Bang!
Chiba Kenichi punched again.
...
And so, on this little patch of battlefield, an incredibly ridiculous scene played out.
Chiba Kenichi and that vicious big man were forcibly fighting to a draw—neither could beat the other, neither could kill the other, they could only trade punches back and forth, locked in a crazy, deadlocked slugfest.
By the time all the Holy Mansion elites in the entire northern sub-section had been flattened by Chiba Sakurako alone, the two of them were still stubbornly pounding away at each other.
Chiba Sakurako raised her blades and brought them down, ending this little "war."
Looking at the bruised and swollen yet blood-boiling Chiba Kenichi, Chiba Sakurako secretly sighed.
She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
...
Southern battlefield!
Ye Lang was leading, the super hacker who spent all day playing with computers, and on this merciless, blood-soaked night, he became a true night wolf.
Western battlefield!
Led by the beast-like Iron Tower Bear Mountain, not even a storm of bullets and artillery could stop his tiger-like offensive as he crushed everything in his path!
This war spread like a prairie fire sparked by a single flame. From the moment the first gunshot rang out, all the Holy Mansion divisions were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, crazily crushed and broken by the five Purgatory squads.
