Chapter 338 – Hua s.h.i.+ VS Pang De
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
Although the escort soldiers managed to freeze Pang De's troops, their bullets were not infinite . After a few seconds, they ran out of ammo .
Because these soldiers only trained about shooting and reloading to save bullet cost, they lacked real combat experiences in a gunfight and a real battle . As a result, they panicked and forgot to reload their ammunition .
Five hundreds of Pang De fell from the sudden gunfire, and five hundred men were critically injured . However, the other four thousand were still unharmed!
Four thousand men charged at the panicking escorts, planning to end their lives and capture Hua s.h.i.+ .
"Reload your guns and get a hold of yourself!"
Hua s.h.i.+ bellowed and resummoned her spirits, using them to barrage magic arrows at the oncoming soldiers .
Rain of light arrows dropped on the charging men, but they were not destructive enough to stop the wave of humans . After bracing three hundred bolts, the surviving soldiers reached Hua s.h.i.+ and her escorts .
"Tsk!"
Hua s.h.i.+ pulled out her pistol and fired at the nearest soldiers while her two souls drew their swords and protected Hua s.h.i.+'s real body .
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
The remaining escort soldiers managed to reload their guns and continued firing, but Pang De and ambus.h.i.+ng soldiers had already reached them .
*SWUA*
Screams from Hua s.h.i.+'s escort troops mixed in with the contact sounds of iron .
*SWUA*
*SWUA*
*BANG*
Now, for every one bullet fired, two escorts were killed . The favor of the battle s.h.i.+fted toward Pang De's side in an instant .
"Don't ever think that I can't fight!"
Hua s.h.i.+ roared and her spirits became more violent . They stopped protecting her real body and charged at the enemies, trying to save as many escort soldiers as possible .
Unfortunately, her attempt was fruitless . The battle lasted for less than ten minutes, and Hua s.h.i.+ was surrounded by a thousand soldiers .
Around her, corpses of Pang De's men laid around as Hua s.h.i.+ stood firm by herself . As for the rest of her escort soldiers, they did not make it .
On the other hand, Pang De lost 2,000 soldiers while another 1,500 men were injured from the short fight .
In Pang De's mind, this was his significant loss, but he accomplished his task nonetheless .
"Surrender, you are the only one left . "
Hua s.h.i.+ glared at Pang De with hatred . Because of her anger, her memory about Tong and Li Feihong's words in the clan chat foiled her mood further .
When someone had a negative thought, that person began to doubt everybody else . Hua s.h.i.+ also suffered the same syndrome of self-hatred and blind anger .
As she was about to bellow [Never], her steel ring on her left ring finger reflected the sunlight to her eyes .
It was the engagement ring that Tong and the local blacksmith forged it for her during their free times . She remembered that Tong went to several blacksmiths to learn about tinkering and steel forgery himself . It took him two months to craft two rings for Friday and Hua s.h.i.+ each .
"Tong … Min'er . "
As Hua s.h.i.+ thought of her daughter and her husband, she regained her conscience, logical thinking, and her sanity .
Looking around, it appeared that her fate had already been sealed . Had Hua s.h.i.+ fought with Pang De, she would not come out unharmed as she was not a melee-battle oriented reincarnator .
Hua s.h.i.+ was still a nurse with a bit of power to protect herself!
"I'll surrender, but none of you have the right to lay a hand on me . "
Pang De snorted, "A woman has no right to deny men's orders . Not only you will be our captive, but you will also pay for our dead soldiers with your body!"
The face of Hua s.h.i.+ twitched . It seemed that if she surrendered, she would be ravished by thousand of soldiers . As a result, Hua s.h.i.+ changed her mind!
"If you go too far, you'll die . You're just a rookie with a bit of power . You aren't my match if we fight . "
"Try it . I want to see how I die . "
Hua s.h.i.+ snickered . She may not excel in melee combat, but she had many trump cards, just like Tong .
"I've warned you, but you didn't listen . I tried to surrender, but you didn't accept it . Blame yourself for overestimating your abilities . "
Hua s.h.i.+ activated her inventory, dropping barrels of crude oil . The two spirits rushed in and destroyed the barrel, flooding the black oil around herself .
Because of the sudden move, Pang De and all soldiers could not withdraw on time . Their feet stood on the flooded ground of black liquid .
Pang De knew about the property of this lamp oil . He stared at Hua s.h.i.+ in shock .
"You're crazy! You'll die, too!"
"No, I'll live, but you all will die! Now, I'll ask you this . Will you surrender to me, or all of you will be burned to death . "
"You wrench!"
In desperation, Pang De attempted to rush Hua s.h.i.+, but he slipped and fell on the swamp of crude oil, face first .
Hua s.h.i.+ took off her oil-soaked sandals while her two spirits carried her up to the sky .
The crowd of soldiers stared at Hua s.h.i.+ in disbelief . As none of them had seen anyone flying, seeing Hua s.h.i.+ and her spirits standing in mid-air shocked them .
"A-A-A G.o.ddess!?"
"T-That's a real immortal!?"
"That guy is flying!"
None of them paid attention to the crude oil anymore .
While she was at it, she scanned through her inventory to find something to ignite a fire . Unfortunately, she only had spare bullets and pistols from Tong .
"Oh well . I doubt I can ignite a fire with this . "
Hua s.h.i.+ looked down and aimed her gun at an iron armor of a dead soldier .
"Bye-Bye! Morons . "
*BANG*
The bullet hit the iron plate, creating sparks of flame . As the small particles of fire landed on the crude oil, a chain reaction occurred .
*BOOM*
The sea of fire exploded, cooking everyone below alive .
Sounds of screams and burning flesh resonated throughout the field . On the other hand, Hua s.h.i.+'s souls carried Hua s.h.i.+'s body away from the fire in a hurry as her clothes also caught fire .
Although Hua s.h.i.+ also suffered burning injuries from the sudden flame explosion, she simply stripped off her burning clothes and commanded her spirits to take her away from this battlefield .
As flew for only 20 meters, a fire arrow came from within the sea of flame .
The arrow carried the aura force of a one-wing angel . It penetrated the undefended Hua s.h.i.+'s neck!
*PU*
Pang De, who was getting cooked alive, had fired his last arrow at Hua s.h.i.+ .
Seeing that his arrow hit the target, Pang De grinned .
"I'll see you in h.e.l.l, wrench!"
That was the last word of this famous general who had squired against Guan Yu in history . He collapsed into the sea of flame as his body turned into a dark charcoaled body .
Hua s.h.i.+'s body also lost strength as the arrow cut her spinal cord in her neck . Fortunately, her spirits carried her further away from the fire sea and placed her down on the clean gra.s.s area .
Blood seeped out from the wound even though Hua s.h.i.+ had not taken out the arrow . Hua s.h.i.+ could not talk or move now, but her brain was still functioning .
'I'm glad I came here prepared . Thanks for thinking of me, Tong . Regen!'
Her neck flowed in white light, and the arrow ejected from her neck . The wound closed as all of her burning injuries healed .
This was Hua s.h.i.+'s preparation before the journey!
During these peaceful years, Tong forced Hua s.h.i.+ to copy his skills by using dual-cultivation . Since most of Tong system cheats were supporting type skills, Hua s.h.i.+ did not miss copying the precious [Immortal Yang Vein] .
Although she did not need those infinite yang seeds, having an instant self-healing ability was ensuring .
As Hua s.h.i.+ was exhausted from the battle, she lied on the gra.s.sland while she reported her battle result in the clan chat .
Hua s.h.i.+: "I almost die, but I killed Pang De . "
Hua s.h.i.+: "I'm tired, though . (T_T)"
There were comments and praises from Tong and Li Feihong, but Hua s.h.i.+ did not care at this point . She was glad that she survived a calamity by herself for once . It was an exhilarating and thrilling, just like how she survived a collapsed building and killed a psychopath in her previous life .
When Hua s.h.i.+ gathered a bit of her strength, she changed her clothes and returned to Wan City . As she was alone at the moment, it would be eye-catching if a young woman like her traveled to the north without guards or escorts .
'I'll hire a thousand mercenaries this time . Wait, I have to adjust my look into a eunuch or a man . A lone girl in a party of wild mercenaries is like offering myself to be raped . '
Hua s.h.i.+ mumbled as she blamed Tong for sending her here on an errand .
.
Before Hua s.h.i.+ and Pang De battled inside Wan's territory, Sun Jian's spies had detected the movement of Xiongnu in Wan .
Huang Gai, who had been tasked to monitored Wan City, sent his spy report in the clan chat .
Huang Gai: "Xiongnu is crossing the mountain and bypa.s.sing Li County . The number is around 5,000 men . "
Sun Jian: "I'll send Fang over there . Keep protecting our flanks . "
Huang Gai: "Understood! None of them will pa.s.s through here!"
.
Sun Fang, who also read the clan chat, sighed in boredom and regret . From the looks of it, he had to fly back to Wan and dropped a carpet bomb to help General Huang Gai .
Sun Fang: "Father, I'll be going . I'll take Li Jing with me . "
Sun Jian: "Good luck . When you're done, stay with your uncle . "
Sun Fang: "Okay . "
Sun Fang gazed at Li Jing beside him .
"Let's go, wifey . "
"Yeah, I want to chase that otherworlder too . "
"I doubt we'll run into her . "
"Well, maybe we won't . But at least, we can hope . "
