Chapter 192. Six Groups Wiped Out in Five Minutes? You Must Be Cheating
“Instructor Qin, look. In such a short time, another group has been eliminated. Now there are only three groups left. And it has been exactly five minutes.”
The instructor from the Second Military District pointed at the red markers on the satellite map, his face full of disbelief.
The other eight instructors were all equally stunned. None of them could understand it.
“How could they possibly eliminate six groups in just five minutes?”
“Judging from their movements, Jiang Yichen’s team must have split up. And each time, they almost instantly teleported to the next group’s location. A hundred-kilometer Spatial Jump…”
“No way. This can’t even be described as genius anymore. This is downright monstrous!”
“And not just that. Every time they used Spatial Jump, they arrived precisely at another group’s landing point, like they had radar installed.”
“……”
As Qin Feng listened to the instructors’ astonished exclamations, delight appeared in his eyes.
Before the exercise, he had not given Jiang Yichen’s team any tracking devices, nor had he allowed them to use Teleportation Talismans to travel.
In other words, without any external tools or equipment assisting them,
they had relied entirely on their own strength to eliminate six groups in five minutes!
Qin Feng stared at the satellite map in amazement. Jiang Yichen and the others’ strength had far exceeded his expectations.
It was even more astonishing than the best-case scenario Commander Xu had described.
With this level of power, they should have more than enough ability to protect themselves in the Guankou Ruins. He could finally report back with confidence.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face.
Especially as he listened to the gasps of admiration from the instructors around him, he could not help feeling pleased.
As Jiang Yichen’s instructor, being able to say in the future that Jiang Yichen had been a soldier he personally trained would be a tremendous source of pride.
“Instructor Qin, stop hiding it from us. Did you secretly give Jiang Yichen’s team some information? Their hits are too precise. This is way too strange.”
Qin Feng shook his head. “No. If you want to know, wait until the exercise is over and ask them yourselves. It won’t take long anyway.”
The instructors nodded slightly at that.
Earlier, they had assumed Jiang Yichen’s team would need at least an hour. Who would have thought they would eliminate most of the groups in only five minutes?
That really was a slap in the face.
They were so strong it was hard to comprehend. Talents like these were likely to become the next successors to the Martial God in the future.
“Report!”
Just as the instructors were marveling, a special operations soldier hurried to the doorway.
“Come in,” Qin Feng said.
“The Fifth Military District group has triggered an emergency distress signal. They reported encountering assassins, and one of the recruits is in critical condition. They are requesting rescue!”
Assassins!?
Qin Feng and the others widened their eyes in shock. Who would dare arrange assassins inside a border military district?
“Hurry! Arrange rescue immediately!” Qin Feng ordered at once.
“Yes, sir!”
……
Two minutes earlier, in the southern part of the Eastern Great Desert.
“Jiang Feng, attack from the flank. I’ll take them head-on.”
Chu Xingchen formed sword qi into blades and looked at the members of the Fifth Military District group with calm, determined eyes before casually slashing forward.
His sword qi condensed into ten thousand transparent longswords, hovering in the air.
“Man, no one gets to order me around.” Jiang Feng stubbornly shot back, but he still moved to the side and unleashed his Dominating Domain!
The instant his comprehension spread out, aside from Instructor Ye, who was leading the group and was not fully suppressed, all the other recruits were rendered unable to move.
“Damn, Fifth Realm! He’s that strong?”
“How the hell are we supposed to fight this? We’re only in the Fourth Realm! With that kind of realm suppression, there’s no way we can win.”
“Then should we surrender?”
“Don’t panic. Instructor Ye is at the peak of the Fifth Realm. Against two Fifth-Realm opponents, he should still be able to fight!”
“……”
The Fifth Military District group all turned to look at Instructor Ye. He slowly stepped forward, swept his gaze over Chu Xingchen and Jiang Feng, and nodded in approval.
“Not bad. No wonder even Commander Xu recognizes you as geniuses. Then let me have a taste of your abilities.”
Instructor Ye released the aura of the peak of the Fifth Realm and slowly raised both hands. In an instant, wind and sand filled the sky.
The swirling sand gathered in the wind and condensed into countless humanoid sand soldiers.
“This is my martial talent, All Things Become Soldiers. Let’s see whether you can withstand it.”
“Go!”
With a wave of Instructor Ye’s hand, the ancient soldiers clad in sand raised their weapons and charged forward.
As more and more of them formed, the sandstorm billowed up like thousands of troops and horses charging across the battlefield!
Chu Xingchen and Jiang Feng exchanged a glance. After nodding to each other, Chu Xingchen raised his sword fingers and spoke in a deep voice.
“Rise, Myriad Swords!”
The ten thousand longswords of sword qi suspended in the air let out waves of sword cries, their momentum no less imposing than the sand army’s vast charge.
“Fall!”
Chu Xingchen pressed his palm downward, and the longswords rained down like drops of water. The army of sand, like a thousand cavalry and ten thousand soldiers, was pierced through by the myriad swords and could not advance even a single step.
“So you’re also at the peak of the Fifth Realm! Truly, the younger generation is to be feared!” Instructor Ye sighed in admiration, excitement appearing on his face.
Having met worthy opponents, he naturally wanted to fight them properly.
Instructor Ye gathered the sand soldiers once more, but Chu Xingchen stood there with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “Instructor Ye, your group has already been eliminated.”
Hm?
At those words, Instructor Ye immediately turned around, only to see that at some point Jiang Feng had already removed every member of the group’s exercise wristband.
“……” Instructor Ye’s mouth twitched. You sly bastard.
He let out a sigh. “Fine, you win. If there’s a chance in the future, let’s spar properly.”
Chu Xingchen nodded, walked over to Jiang Feng, and held out his fist. “Nice teamwork.”
Jiang Feng looked at the fist with his cold, sharp eyes. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and he also stretched out his fist and bumped it against Chu Xingchen’s.
“You too. You’re very strong. I approve.”
“Let’s go. We still have one more group left. I’ll let that man know that I won’t hold him back!” Jiang Feng’s eyes were resolute.
Chu Xingchen could not help smiling. What a stubborn person.
But just as Jiang Feng was about to turn around, Chu Xingchen’s gaze suddenly stopped on the sand beneath his feet. He activated his Demonic Eyes to take a closer look—
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a black figure shot out of the sand. Under the dazzling sunlight, a dagger reflected a sharp glint as it stabbed straight toward Jiang Feng’s heart.
Both Chu Xingchen and Jiang Feng were shaken. That speed was too fast for the naked eye to catch.
“Get out of the way!”
Sword qi surged wildly from Chu Xingchen as he shoved Jiang Feng in front of him away, while he himself tried his best to dodge.
But the time was too short, and the enemy’s strength was far beyond his own.
Thud!
The dagger stabbed into Chu Xingchen’s left shoulder, and his clothes were instantly stained bright red.
Chu Xingchen was sent flying several meters and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Feng’s eyes went blank as he turned to look at Chu Xingchen lying there.
“I missed!”
The assassin codenamed Earthfiend realized he had attacked the wrong target. Without the slightest hesitation, he sank back into the sand and fled.
For an assassin, once a single strike failed, the element of surprise was already lost. There was no need to stay any longer.
Besides, someone was hunting him down as well…
Bang!
Earthfiend had only just burrowed into the sand when he suddenly felt someone grab his head with terrifying force!
“This is bad!”
With one violent yank, he was dragged back out, and a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before his eyes.
“Little rat, I found you.”
Medusa spoke coldly, and under Earthfiend’s terrified gaze, she tightened her grip.
Smack!
Earthfiend’s head was crushed outright, blood splattering everywhere.
Medusa touched the warm blood on her face with a finger, a look of disgust appearing on her face.
“What filthy blood.”
After dealing with Earthfiend, Medusa used the power of her divine soul to send information to her master.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng weakly crawled to Chu Xingchen’s side. The dagger was lodged in Chu Xingchen’s left shoulder, and it was not a fatal wound.
But the blood flowing from the wound was turning black at a visible speed.
The veins beneath Chu Xingchen’s skin had also taken on an inky color.
The dagger was poisoned!
Jiang Feng hurriedly pulled out the dagger and pressed several acupoints on Chu Xingchen’s body. For the first time, he was truly panicking.
“Man, I told you before. Without my permission, you do not have the right to die!”
Cough, cough…
Black blood spilled from the corner of Chu Xingchen’s lips. His vision was beginning to blur, and in a hoarse voice, he said, “Back in the Snakefolk Cave, you saved me without caring about your own life. This time, I’m repaying you.”
Repaying me?
Jiang Feng stood there frozen like a statue.
