532 Three Battlefields Prelude (1/2)
= 6 Hours after Li Feihong had arrived to help Diaochan fighting against Gan Ji =
*VHOOM*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*VHOOM*
Li Feihong opened his portals and ambushed Gan Ji, assisting Medusa. He also brought more spare weapons for her since Gan Ji's skill could destroy their weaponry with a light touch.
His battle tactic was simple – Open a few gates, shoot Gan Ji, and close the gates.
Unfortunately, it wasn't effective.
”Hahaha! Liu Bei, your incompetency and cowardice precede the rumor! You aren't a combatant in your timeline, and you aren't a proper fighter in this life. You can't kill me with those tiny peas without showing yourself!!”
Gan Ji deflected all bullets with ease.
Currently, Li Feihong's tactic was too slow for any 8-wing immortal as the portal skill always released a sci-fi sound, which warned Gan Ji about the skill activation.
It was like a telephone punch that alerted his opponent before the attack could hit.
As such, Li Feihong could do nothing against Gan Ji but distracting him from Medusa.
*SWUA*
Medusa managed to land a hit on Gan Ji's back with her sword. The wound was deep enough that she could see Gan Ji's white bones.
Being in danger, Gan Ji absorbed more souls and replenished his lifespan. Then, he rushed into the crowd of zombies and skeleton soldiers.
Medusa chased after the injured old man, but Gan Ji's clone appeared again.
”DIE!!”
The clone activated the remote soul detonation skill.
Li Feihong opened a portal and pulled Medusa into his dimension.
The clone self-detonated. But Medusa was already out of range as she was in Li Feihong's dimension.
After the explosion ended, five more portals opened 100 meters away, and Medusa exited from one of the gates. As for the other four, Li Feihong's detached souls pointed their rifles at Gan Ji's real body.
”HAHAHA!! TOO LATE!!”
Gan Ji had already activated Sun Fang's self-healing skill and recovered from the previous injury. He dodged and blocked Li Feihong's bullets again while hiding among the undead crowd.
”TSK!”
Li Feihong got annoyed that he wanted to jump out of his dimension gate and fight Gan Ji himself, but Medusa reminded him.
”Don't get agitated. He's provoking you, so he can cripple you first. Be patient and continue pressuring him. He will run out of lifespan eventually.”
Li Feihong grumbled and continued battling in this endless dogfight where the losing side would run out of lifespan first.

= Meanwhile =
Sun Shangxiang didn't waste time. She sent down a forced march order and had this unit rush east. Everyone had to bring their own food, and they had to last about a week.
Lu Meng ended up becoming a temporary logistic officer as he had to arrange supply transportation for this sudden mobilization so that these 10,000 soldiers wouldn't starve after 7 days.
The forced march under Sun Shangxiang wasn't as harsh as Jia Xu's since she didn't have them walk 60 kilometers with loaded bags on their back. She only allowed them to walk 20km a day to save their stamina and condition.
5 Days of marching was smooth before she detected a commotion on the 6th day. A large group of peasants on the distance was approaching them.
Sun Shangxiang, Huang Gai, and Lu Meng rushed at the fleeing peasants to investigate.
”Who are you people?” Lu Meng asked the people, ”Why are you grouping up here?”
A female elder staggered forward while several men supported her. She knelt on the ground and plead for their safety.
”Sir, a monster army is chasing us! Please help us!”
Lu Meng and Huang Gai immediately helped them up and asked about the monster army's location.
”Where is this army?”
”Sir, they're coming from Guangling direction. The immortals are also fighting over there!”
Sun Shangxiang's face changed when she heard that immortals were fighting in that direction.
Currently, Li Feihong and Diaochan were risking their lives to contain Gan Ji for everyone.
Liu Yang had recovered from her injury. She was currently staying behind to stabilize her foundation and protect the main forces from unforeseen circumstances. Yet, a few days ago, she visited Sun Shangxiang and warned her that Diaochan and Li Feihong were fighting Gan Ji in this area.
'This must be them.'
