Chapter 26: Battle at Datai Temple

Chapter 26: Battle at Datai Temple

At Datai Temple, a chaotic battle broke out.

Jiang He knew that the Great Shaman had the ability to be alert, and that his captain had discovered the four of them before, so he simply put away the stealth badge and stuffed it into his clothes.

"Haha, the little thief surrenders!"

Baturu, with a wild attitude, came towards them with a huge machete in his hand. He looked strong and powerful, with muscles piled up like a hill. He walked like a bear, leaving a trail of footprints.

"clang!"

The huge machete was coming down on his head. Jiang He raised his gun with both hands and used the close-combat gun "Overlord Lifting the Tripod" to block it. Sparks flew from the sword and gun. He suddenly kicked out with his leg. This kick was so fierce and fast that it did not give the other person a chance to react. His toes were like a poisonous snake, choosing the person to bite. He even used the close-combat technique recorded in the Mountain Spear Technique - the sleeve kick.

The ancients wore wide robes that covered their limbs to conceal their attacks. Their sleeves and feet were extremely strong. When they attacked, dragons and snakes rose from the ground, and there was murderous intent. They would go straight to the vitals, vicious and cruel.

Baturu saw this and moved sideways, his knife following his movement. The cold and shining blade swept towards the enemy's gun-holding hand, creating a string of sparks.

At the same time, Jiang He bent his calf straight outward, bursting out with astonishing speed again, fiercely hitting the side of the enemy's knee. A crisp sound of bone breaking suddenly rang out beside the two of them.

This kick, which was alternating between real and fake, made Baturu's entire calf appear at a strange angle, and the powerful force of the Ming Jin forced him to kneel on one knee.

The huge machete lost its power and posture. Jiang He pushed the gun with both hands and struck the enemy's head horizontally.

The sounds of shouting and killing filled the ears all around, and four spears came at the same time.

Jiang He loosened his left hand, and the Changhen Spear was like a broken bowstring, instantly releasing a powerful force. With one sweep, all the spears broke into pieces, and the weight of three thousand pounds was swung out. The four green soldiers in front of him were like rag dolls, and were swept away directly, their bones shattered into mud.

More than a dozen grappling hooks specially designed to deal with martial arts masters attacked.

This kind of hook is covered with barbs. Once it pierces the flesh, it will cause unbearable pain. If it is pulled out forcibly, there will be blood everywhere. With the cooperation of more than a dozen people, even a giant bear in the mountains outside the Great Wall can't move forward or backward.

Jiang He's hands flew, the gun shadows were everywhere, and he stirred up layers of energy, shaking off all the grappling hooks. He decisively activated Garuda Mode 3, and his pure green heart pumped blood faster, which greatly improved his speed and reaction.

Then, Jiang He jumped up as lightly as a swallow, dodging an arrow shot from the dark, and at the same time kicked five times in a row, each time faster and harder than the previous one.

The heads of the two elite soldiers in full armor in front of him were broken.

His figure landed on the ground and rushed into the battle formation. Jiang He raised his gun and swept across, like a truck constantly crashing through. Suddenly, an open space was cleared around him. Twelve soldiers gathered on the left and right were killed in an instant, with corpses flying everywhere and blood spilling like rain.

And at the moment he raised his waist, a Baturu jumped high and stabbed down with his barbed sword, like a mountain pressing down on his head.

Jiang He quickly turned over, with his sword digging into the ground for about a foot. Before he could get up, another Baturu swung his spear and stabbed the target's throat.

Jiang He activated Garuda Mode 1, raised Pure Green Defense at his throat, and forcibly broke the opponent's gun barrel, then stabbed out with his gun, blasting the Baturu's forehead.

Two tribal warriors died one after another. Instead of being afraid, the green soldiers became angry because of the tragic deaths of their comrades.

Spears and swords attacked from all directions. Jiang He kept moving to ensure his own living space. He stabbed out with the spear repeatedly, and each strike could easily penetrate the enemy's white armor and flesh.

The only remaining Baturu held the machete tightly in both hands, and the blade danced wildly three feet in front of him. He changed the tough and simple fighting methods of the Qingbing army, and stuck to the gun like a piece of mud.

Jiang He took three steps back to avoid the relentless attack, and with the last step he stepped on the ground and flew forward. After the distance was widened, he regained the space to accumulate momentum. The Changhen Spear released an unparalleled impact force, first smashing the sword, and then piercing Baturu's heart. The remaining force was like a thunderclap, and blood splattered and flew into the air.

Before dying, the tribal warrior held the gun tightly. In just a blink of an eye, the flash of swords and sabers fell on someone, and a hidden arrow shot through the gap between the armor and the scales. Although he was not wearing armor, it left a half-inch deep blood groove on his shoulder and arm.

This is a hidden arrow from the Great Shaman, containing a strange curse.

A chill came over him, and Jiang He cancelled the Garuda mode three. He couldn't take off his armor now, so he could only endure the slight dizziness in his mind. He raised his hand and shook it, and Baturu in front of him was torn to pieces. He drew out the Changhen Spear and fired seven times in a row, and seven green soldiers' eyebrows burst immediately.

Jiang He pushed forward, the shadow of the gun was unstoppable. After walking half a mile, corpses were piled on both sides of the road, like a man-made dam, and blood gathered and flowed like a canal.

Under the Eight Treasures Pagoda, Tieduo's eyes were bright. His personal guards had suffered two hundred casualties so far, but he raised his soldiers like his own sons and used them like mud. After entering the Pass and sweeping through many battles in Jiangbei, the death of soldiers was now just a number to him.

"With the help of this land dragon, we could have saved thousands of lives in the attack on the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was the first to reach the city, behead the general, and capture the flag. Shaman, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

The Great Shaman replied: "There is no such person."

Tieduo was silent, tapping the folding fan in his hand. If he could find out this man's background, threaten him with his relatives, friends, wife and family, and then promise him high position, generous salary, real power and honors, he thought he would have a chance to make the other party work for him. Unfortunately, the reality did not go as he wished.

In just a few seconds, Tieduo's eyes became murderous.

"Then we must make him die here. Let's dispatch the Futu Camp."

"Here."

A black eagle flew out from the great shaman's hand drum. The Futu Camp had only 500 people, but was better than the elite Daji Camp. The 500 soldiers were all armored and were well-deserved heavy cavalry. Even Tieduo, who had the greatest military achievements among all the kings, could barely gather 500 people.

If the number exceeds a thousand, the regent far away in the old capital will immediately order the heavy cavalry to be recalled, regardless of whether Tieduo and himself are blood brothers.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Jiang He advanced a full mile, and on the player panel, the number of green soldiers killed exceeded five hundred.

The outstanding offensive power granted by the Changhen Spear, the strong defense of the rhinoceros armor and scale armor, plus the continuous recovery of physical strength by the Pure Green Heart, together constitute a killing machine.

After shooting the young soldier in front of him to death, Jiang He suddenly looked up and heard the dull sound of horse hooves, which was becoming more and more frequent at a terrifying speed, and the ground was shaking continuously.

The green soldiers in front suddenly retreated to both sides at a certain moment, and then a surging black wave appeared. The long charge line blocked the left and right, and the five hundred heavy cavalry, all holding three-meter-six spears, rushed forward.

Jiang He rushed forward a dozen steps and killed two heavy cavalrymen with his close-range spear Sky Bird Spreading Wings, killing both the man and the horse. However, the heavy cavalryman next to him had already arrived with his spear. The tip of the spear hit his armor, and the kinetic energy was concentrated and released at one point. The force instantly penetrated two layers of defense and broke his ribs.

"Not good."

Jiang He flew backwards for dozens of meters. In a trance, he seemed to see cars coming towards him. People in the driver's seat stuck their guns out of the windows. The explosive force was so sharp that it could easily pierce through steel plates.

“But there is a difference between the two.”

This offensive had flaws. After all, war horses were not dead creatures and had their own fears. Soldiers often covered the horses' eyes with cloth strips during desperate charges. After the large-scale use of artillery, the operation of plugging their ears was also added.

Jiang He landed on the ground and took a few steps backward. The curse and severe pain in his body attacked his sanity. He raised his hand forward and decisively released four gas shocks.

In an instant, the shock wave erupted like a tsunami, and the invisible torrent swept the ground, overturning dozens of armored horses. The strong heat radiation made the horses neigh wildly. They had no time to move forward, and they were frightened and instinctively avoided the source of damage. The horses knelt on the ground, and the heavy cavalry fell. The weight of the armor made them fall particularly heavily.
