I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 526 - : 526. Purge
Chapter 526: 526. Purge
At that moment in An Zhou State City, “General Ozaki,” upon receiving the news of the enemy engagement at the front, immediately summoned his elite troops for support.
He also signaled to the ambushed allied forces, readying to encircle the enemy.
As a high-ranking general of Izumo, he naturally knew that the Yi Dynasty Army wasn’t easy to deal with, especially now that they had lost control of the seas.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
Therefore, General Ozaki deployed heavy forces on both banks of the Cheongcheon River to fiercely battle the enemy while also setting up an ambush in “Jiechuan City” to the east, intending to annihilate the Yi Dynasty Army with encirclement tactics.
In less than half an hour, the general had arranged everything and then, slinging his family’s heirloom katana to his waist, he was ready to strike out with the “Military Police.”
The “Military Police” numbered nearly a hundred, the elite of the Izumo army, all of whom were Martial Artists at the Organ Refining Realm or above.
...
Their movements were naturally swift. Yet no sooner had they stepped out of the military headquarters than they received the latest battle report: The enemy had already crossed the “Cheongcheon River” and was advancing towards An Zhou where they were located!
General Ozaki was stunned on the spot: ???
He had just received the news of engaging the enemy half an hour ago, how did they suddenly…
After repeated confirmations through the field telephone, only then did he believe this was true!
From daze to fury, True Qi surged out of General Ozaki’s body, and with a raise of his hand, he threw a punch!
A towering ancient pine was broken in half at its trunk, flung dozens of meters away and crashed into the ground, stirring up a mess.
“Damn it! Even 10,000 pigs couldn’t all die in half an hour!”
He had set up two defensive lines totaling more than ten thousand men to halt the enemy, and yet he had not even stepped out of his own doorstep, and the enemy had already come to attack!
The Military Police said nothing, quietly awaiting their general, who was at the Innate Realm, to vent his emotions.
Ozaki didn’t keep everyone waiting too long, taking a deep breath he ordered:
“Set up defensive fortifications within An Zhou City, entangle with the opponents on every street, in every building.
The commander will soon send reinforcements; we only need to buy time. Let those Goryeo troops rush forward and exhaust them… ”
He swiftly gave a few orders, and the surrounding junior officers bowed and shouted “Yes!” before going off to prepare.
But at this time, a pair of eyes in the sky had already fixed their gaze on this place.
Yu Yanmei, having sensed and tracked the great disturbance from Ozaki’s venting when he smashed the tree, arrived just in time.
She patted Ping An’s head and leaped down from high above.
With her arms extended behind her, she took a diving posture much like a Spiritual Sparrowhawk, plummeting rapidly.
At a distance of 1 kilometer, General Ozaki’s body tensed, and he abruptly looked up towards the enemy descending from the sky!
“When adversaries meet on a narrow road, the brave wins,” facing the assault of an enemy of the same rank, fleeing in panic and exposing oneself was the most foolish act.
Ozaki knew this well and immediately took hold of the katana hilt, assuming the pose for an “Iai Slash.”
He calmed his mind with his breath while gathering strength, and then shouted “Soaring Dragon Slash!”
The military-coated general suddenly drew his sword from the scabbard, a saber light like a silk ribbon left a striking white trace in the air!
The high-ranking officers of Izumo often came from illustrious families, and their katanas, having been refined by the Innate True Qi of countless generations, had become divine weapons, with increased might by one-third when launching techniques.
Facing this textbook Iai Slash, Yu Yanmei activated her “Star Plucking Body” at the moment of imminent collision.
Her long and graceful legs kicked fiercely; True Qi blasted out in an explosion, providing overwhelming thrust like a fighter jet’s engine.
A ring of white air blast burst around Yu Yanmei, reaching the speed of sound!
Although it lasted for barely a second, it was enough.
The two passed by each other in the blink of an eye, Yu Yanmei’s legs plowed a 10-meter-long trench into the ground before she finally stopped.
She had a deep wound on her shoulder that reached the bone, but such an injury was nothing to someone at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm; her muscles and bones twisted and knitted back together in the next second, without a drop of blood spilled.
Meanwhile, Ozaki’s face bore a look of disbelief and unwillingness, a fine crack appearing on his forehead, growing increasingly obvious and then extending to his philtrum, eventually splitting his head into two like a cleaved watermelon.
With the brain destroyed, even someone at the Golden Body Realm would die, let alone the Innate Realm.
At that moment, since Yu Yanmei made her appearance, a total of 5 seconds had passed.
She casually took out a gold brick and bit into it.
The surrounding military police finally reacted, drawing their blades and firearms, and with a strange cry, they prepared to besiege her!
Some even called for the guards to push forward heavy cannons and Gatling guns.
These elite soldiers all understood that if they scattered in the face of an opponent whose realm was far beyond their own, they would truly be finished.
Their endurance and speed, their reactions, were not on the same level; they wouldn’t be able to escape if pursued, but perhaps there was a chance of survival in a desperate fight while outnumbering the enemy.
Unfortunately, they thought too much; the next second, Ping An descended from the sky, first slaughtering two with its claws, then with a fierce flap of its wings, four more were sent flying, blood spraying in the air.
The crowd could only unleash their firepower on Ping An, but even a 75mm infantry cannon only caused pain, instead provoking its violent nature.
Yu Yanmei wouldn’t just stand by and watch, she flashed into the battle with the blink of an eye.
For a moment, the division’s station was filled with shouts, gunfire, and blazing flames that shot into the sky.
Within minutes, the noise gradually subsided.
By the time Shi Rongchun arrived with 100 mechas, the division’s station had been flattened.
Seeing the graceful figure riding away on the Spiritual Sparrowhawk, everyone bowed their fists in salute.
Shi Rongchun gave the order, “Return to your units, cleanse the entire city.”
All these mechas were “company commanders.”
A company consisted of 200 people, each having 20 warriors clad in Battle Armor, with the rest being ordinary Auxiliary Army.
Now that the Izumo could no longer organize a systemic resistance, the company commanders began leading their men to exterminate the remnants and take full control of An Zhou State City.
~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, Fu Fangsheng’s division had already routed the encircling Izumo forces.
Most of his subordinates were former members of the Boxer Rebellion, with a large number of high-realm martial artists, and his own division had 100 mechas.
In one encounter, they had the Izumo people doubting their life choices, and capitalizing on the momentum, they captured “Jiechuan City.”
This was a small city with a population of 200,000; Fu Fangsheng left the task of clearing out the remaining enemies to his subordinates and did not take action himself.
Clad in his mecha, he occasionally struck strange poses, as if pondering something.
After a while, a monk wearing a mecha approached and lifted his faceplate to reveal his shaved head, saying, “Amitabha, there’s nothing more to do on our side, Shi Rongchun’s side is also finished—it’s a complete victory for us.”
“The Izumo people are no match at all.”
Fu Fangsheng displayed an expression of expectation and then shook his arms, with a whooshing of strong wind:
“Monk, I think when it comes to close combat in mechas, it’s necessary to have a set of martial arts that matches.”
“Indeed, broad and overwhelming movements, strong and forceful techniques are all suitable. For example, the Big Tombstone Hand, Iron Thread Fist, and the like.”
The monk nodded in agreement, as some enemies had previously gotten close, making the Gatling Gun less agile at such a short range.
After exchanging ideas for a while, a few ordinary Auxiliary Army personnel came over carrying ammunition boxes to resupply the mechas.
Fu Fangsheng suddenly asked, “Monk, since you do not accept official titles, I will request the Imperial Court to bestow the reward on your temple instead.”
“Amitabha, I am not concerned with such matters, do as you please,” replied the monk.
“Then…” Fu Fangsheng continued, “San Duo and I… we caused quite some trouble for our families in the past. Now that we’ve achieved merit and shared benefits with the clan, it feels like I’ve made amends. But I still feel bad for dragging you, a monk, into battle.”
The monk brought his mecha’s steel fists together in prayer and chanted a Buddhist mantra:
“Exorcising demons and eradicating evil is the duty of a monk. The former great powers, and now the Izumo people, are all demons. To me, this too is a form of cultivation; do not be concerned.”
Seeing his friend’s dignified appearance, Fu Fangsheng’s heart felt at ease.
“Let’s go and see how San Duo is doing.”
