Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Five – First Battle (2/2)

Wei Ran hurriedly sent an order to not pursue. Their mission was to safely reach the camp, not to kill enemies. However, when he noticed some scattered xiuzhe that had been watching from far away, he guessed that those were scouts from other factions.

This battle should have intimidated many people, he pondered inside.

The enemy had completely fled in a short while Wei Ran ordered some xiuzhe to clean up the spoils, and everyone else landed to set up camp. The xiuzhe that had just come out of battle all had excited expressions lingering on their faces, but they still meticulously completed their orders.

All the platoon leaders all released a breath of relief. This kind of battle was just a minor matter to them, but they had still been worried about the new members under their command. In total, no major incidents had occurred, but combat had exposed many problems.

Some squads had not performed to their training standards when they had sent out the gigantic sword energy in the fight, and almost were not able to penetrate the ranks of the enemy. If they could not penetrate the ranks, and were bogged down in the enemy formation, the enemy would immediately have swarmed and torn them to pieces. These platoon leaders still felt fear when they thought of it.

Wei Ran did not interfere with the platoon leaders lecturing the xiuzhe who had made mistakes. He silently patrolled the camp.

A while later, the xiuzhe that finished cleaning up returned. The spoils of victory were given to the vice division later who would give them to Lil’ Miss when they returned, and then divided according to contributions.

Wei Cheng Bin gaped. The swiftness in which the battle had finished with had surpassed his imagination. When he heard the platoon leaders swear at their subordinations, he couldn’t believe it. Was this not enough? Such crisp and clean combat, such strong subordinates, then why were they being sworn at?

He was not skilled at battle, but that did not mean he did not have good eyes. He could generally see the traces of the skill of a troop. In his view, this completely unfamiliar and unique troop was the strongest that he had ever seen without exception.

They were too demanding! Wei Cheng Bin was unable to understand.

This victory was great motivation to the xiuzhe who were being transported. Their anticipation towards their destination rose. In the chaotic Little Mountain Jie, martial strength was the most effective guarantee of survival.

Nan Sheng Village.

He Xiang looked at the fake smiles on the faces in front of him. His temple throbbed. The negotiations were more difficult than he had imaged. These factions seemed to have reached a certain agreement in secret, their positions were at a strange consensus. Even the leaders that he had a good relationship with before had reversed their attitudes and remained silent.

He knew that these people just wanted to bargain, but for him who wanted to show his accomplishments, his abilities would only be displayed if he could push the price to the bottom. There were more than a few that were scheming after his position. He did not want to give them an opportunity.

He smiled, not showing his thoughts. “Everyone is tired today, let’s take a rest. This one has prepared a banquet especially for this, please, everyone come attend.”

The leaders exchanged looks with each other, rose, and said they were tired and wanted to rest.

He Xiang did not force them, smiling as he sent them out the door. When the last leader left, his dark expression could not be disguised any longer.

He needed a way to divide them, he thought inside. Just as he turned to leave, he coincidentally caught the mirth in the eyes of one of the other elders and his mood instantly became even more terrible.

———

“Is everyone sure of their target?” Xie Shan asked as he looked at everyone.

Everyone nodded.

Lei Peng rumbled, “Motherf***er, laozi even had to watch him as he went to the bathroom, it really is unlucky.”

Everyone laughed lightly. To guarantee they would succeed with one blow, everyone had rehearsed before. They had divided the ten targets among them.

“We will move in two hours,” Xie Shan did not waste words. All fifteen people had their own techniques. He might have the highest cultivation, but he did not dare to posture. Fortunately, everyone was rule-abiding and did not need him to nag.

Fifteen people silently spread out in all directions.

Lei Peng’s target was a guy skilled in dan­-making. Even though ling materials were now in short supply in Little Mountain Jie, but some businesses still had some in stock. Due to this, this person had found a pretty good job. Consequently, when he had received the jade scroll, he had weighed his options, and decided to stay with his current employer. Especially since his current employer was good to him and the jade scroll was of unknown origins. He was not willing to take the risk.

For some reason, he felt the willies today as though something was going to happen.

This caused him to be unable to focus. Every time he had this feeling, there never was anything good.

He raised his head to look at the sky. The clouds were very low in the air, dense and suffocating.

“Medicine Master He, the owner is calling you.” The busboy hurriedly rushed over.

“Oh, I’m going now.” He refocused and hurriedly moved. There was probably another job for him to do.

He had just passed through into the backyard when he suddenly felt pain at the back of his head. His vision darkened, and he did not know anything else.

Lei Peng held him with one hand and looked around. Looking around to see if he had alarmed any other people, he grinned silently before disappearing into the air.

However, not everyone had the same good fortune as him. For example, Nian Lu.

———

Nian Lu looked with panic at his target. A female xiu skilled with livestock. She was presently teaching the other people how to put together feed for ling beasts. These apprentices were extremely respectful and listened carefully.

The time to act had arrived!

Seeing that the target would definitely not be leaving soon, Nian Lu gritted his teeth, and decided to move.

His figure was like a ghost that appeared behind the female xiu. His hand gently chopped, his left hand raising and grasping. The unconscious female xiu was on his back.

His movements were clean and crisp.

Only when he had disappeared through the door did the apprentices finally react, yelling in fear.

The guards of the store were instantly alerted and flew into the air.

The same situation, at the same time, occurred at different places in Nan Sheng Village.

Nan Sheng Village instantly became a mess!

One problem of posting a translation before it is complete is that terms can be modified and changed but people get used to the terms already in use and there are a lot of chapters that are posted already. Making an announcement that a term has changed and then doing nothing about the posted chapters annoys me and I feel it is irresponsible of me because changing terms leads to reader confusion. Editing and keeping terms consistent is a hard task so please go thank WanderingGummiOfDoom even if you might not read the revised chapters because he is amazing at keeping object names and other things consistent from the earlier chapters to these present ones.

Also, the humongous sword energy is about 66 meters which is bigger than the wingspan of a Boeing 777. Imagine that charging at you.
