Who would have known that Meng Shan would fly into a rage, grab a wagon stacked on top, and hurl it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his chest was also poked over a dozen times by the spears and halberds of the Dafeng Army, but no one could pierce his heavy armor. Immediately after, Meng Shan yanked the wagon in front of him aside and charged in! He Lingchuan was raising his hand to fire his crossbow at the time and didn't see that display of destructive brute force, but he happened to be blocking Meng Shan’s path and thus bore the brunt of the impact, getting sent flying like a cannonball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What sent him flying was a giant shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shields were generally within two to three feet in height, but because of Meng Shan’s physique, this custom-made giant shield exceeded four feet and weighed over one hundred and fifty catties; it was made of ebony mixed with yellow essence copper, with a Baxia painted on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This weapon was painstakingly crafted not just for defense; with the support of Meng Shan’s immense strength, it was used entirely as a heavy weapon. Now, with a giant axe in one hand and a heavy shield in the other, he was killing with great momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was willing to easily test his edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this warrior clearing the way, the Baling people quickly squeezed in through the gap in the wagon formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before you think about shooting at Meng Shan, you’d better think it through,\" a soldier said suddenly from a few feet away before He Lingchuan could act. \"At least not here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man had been struck by a critical blade on his thigh, deep to the artery, but fortunately, his \"descendants' root\" was saved. A Luo had already treated it for him, so he couldn't move easily and now had to hide behind the wagon, firing cold arrows toward the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan took one look and secretly thought this guy was truly cunning; his hiding spot was extremely wretched, his whole body completely blocked by the wagon, making it hard for enemies at a height to deal with him, yet he could shoot upward through the gap between two boards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His accuracy was much better than He Lingchuan’s; he hit his mark every two shots, and there were always enemies falling down with screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This greatly relieved the combat pressure on the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of person’s combat power might not be particularly outstanding, but they had unique insights into survival skills. After all, once a battle is over, having one's life means having everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So He Lingchuan rolled his eyes and said to him, \"Think it through, help me load two more crossbows!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a single-handed crossbow by this man’s feet; hearing this, he helped load two bolts and tossed them over. \"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He Lingchuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan strapped one crossbow to his back, held another in his hand, and struggled to stand up: \"We have to use our backup plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the medicine he took, he suspected he wouldn't be able to move at all; this was truly good medicine, he would have to find a way to get some after waking from this dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Hu Min.\" This man bowed to him. \"Brave warrior, if you fall forward, we will follow behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, quickly moved toward the second wagon formation, and shouted: \"Scatter the money, what are you waiting for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of people were stationed behind the second wagon formation, using the wagons as sandbags and lying on the roofs to shoot arrows. At He Lingchuan’s shout, several squads realized it was time and grabbed the things behind them to throw forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, what they threw out were all gold, silver, and jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clatter, gold coins, silver coins, pearls, and agate balls jumped and rolled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this sight, He Lingchuan remembered a game he played a long time ago; what was that skill called again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh? Who threw a gold toilet out too? The Baling people thought hidden weapons were coming, but when they looked closely, they saw nothing but gold glittering everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth moves the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is gold on the ground, what is your reaction? Of course, you bend down to pick it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baling soldiers who broke through the wagon formation subconsciously went to pick up the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the sky falls, others will hold it up; only money in the pocket is secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These common soldiers came to the Panlong Wasteland to risk their lives; in the end, it was either because they committed crimes, were serving their time, or were short on money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the residents of the Panlong Wasteland, they could still return to their country, so this gold and silver were too useful to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Baling people in such chaos, why would the Dafeng Army be polite? They swung their blades and hacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Meng Shan, everyone took the initiative to avoid him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers felt they couldn't handle such a thorny problem, so of course, they had to leave it to their leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So although Meng Shan was charging around, except for unlucky fellows like He Lingchuan, he really hadn't crippled many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also successfully attracted the attention of Commander Xiao, who sheathed his blade, switched to a long spear, and roared again: \"Don't panic, the enemy's fortune is declining, perform well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminded by him, everyone looked carefully and sure enough, the light on the Baling soldiers had dimmed, far from as bright as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was already a gap in morale between the two sides, and once it widened, it became even more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on? Why did the opponent’s morale suddenly drop? This question was only understood by He Lingchuan when he carefully scrutinized Meng Shan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green light on this burly man suddenly became bright and vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he was using the State Decree to reallocate fortune and had allocated more to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he took more, the other soldiers naturally had less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an allocation was understandable; Meng Shan bore the task of forcefully charging the wagon formation and breaking through the Dafeng Army’s defensive line, so naturally, the stronger his power, the better, so he could concentrate his efforts on one point, and he had indeed accomplished it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his next target was the second wagon formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Shan was about to charge over, but Commander Xiao had already arrived and entangled him on the spot with a long spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Shan protected his two vital points—his neck and eyes—and unleashed a flurry of slashes at Commander Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from that far away, He Lingchuan could hear the whistling wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were Commander Xiao, he probably wouldn't be able to stand steady if hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, facing an opponent with such astonishing strength, Commander Xiao had no intention of clashing head-on. Either dodging or deflecting, the spear tip burst with cold light, stabbing more than a dozen times like a violent storm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This martial art was truly astonishing. Even though He Lingchuan stared without blinking, he felt dazzled and couldn't keep up with the speed of his strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long spear stabbed out afterimages, and the most terrifying thing was that every strike hit the same point, stabbing at the joint of Meng Shan’s rear knee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was covered in heavy armor, the joints must be relatively weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Shan’s body tilted, he let out a cry of pain, and suddenly raised his heavy shield, slamming it heavily into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud \"boom,\" the ground within a ten-zhang radius centered on him shook like a magnitude seven or eight earthquake; both the enemy and our side, who were fighting, were caught off guard and fell together, while things on the ground jumped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the shockwave was released, Commander Xiao bore the brunt and couldn't stand steady, retreating three big steps in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Shan took the opportunity to swing his axe; with three \"clang\" sounds, Commander Xiao reacted quickly, blocking all three strikes with his long spear, but he himself was also knocked more than two zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at Meng Shan as tall and big and wearing heavy armor; he was actually not clumsy at all, and the speed of his axe was shockingly fast. He Lingchuan saw a faint glow on his axe and guessed that this weapon had the effect of lightening the body or increasing agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a fierce warrior and a strong weapon can complement each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Shan was about to pursue, when an arrow \"whooshed\" toward his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man raised his axe, and the arrow was blocked by the broad surface of the axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1496,"2026-06-20T02:23:30.219Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0a34d124ce16dacea03206bbdca0769741e7af24af46bda3be25752ab6f018a2","after-the-immortals-disappeared-chapter-95","after-the-immortals-disappeared-chapter-93",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-immortals-disappeared-cover.jpg"]
