Chapter 223: Within Seven Steps, the Saber is Fast

Chen Jie crouched low and carefully returned to his previous position.

Next,

he raised his head and carefully surveyed the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi ahead.

According to the map instructions previously given by Fatty Wang Hou, Chen Jie quickly confirmed the firepower configuration of one of the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi.

Around the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi was a row of Guan Dao pipelines.

The outer structure was built of Gang Jing Hun Ning Tu, extremely solid; even with a bomb, it would be difficult to blast open in one go.

The Passage into the Liao Wang Ta was only the Lou Ti below.

However,

below the Lou Ti were two patrolling guards wearing camouflage uniforms, armed to the teeth.

They looked like elites who had experienced blood battles, with stern faces.

The two guards responsible for patrolling did not even have time to make a sound.

The two seemed not to care much about patrolling, appearing somewhat lax, gathering together to smoke and chat.

Seeing one of them fallen on the ground, both suddenly failed to react and were completely stunned.

Hiss—!

The patrolling guard who had originally been preparing to fire and prepare to scream.

Feeling the cold killing intent at his throat, his hand uncontrollably loosened, not daring to make any rash move.

Ba Te understood Chen Jie's meaning and nodded.

The two were like ghosts at the stairway entrance.

This was inside the Shan Gu wall.

The surroundings were heavily guarded, always very safe and quiet, never disturbed by anyone.

So,

inside the Liao Wang Ta, even without watching the monitors, one could look down from a height and observe the movements around.

Their bodies trembled, and with a thud they slid to the ground.

The Du Nu in Ba Te's hand had always been aimed at the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi upstairs.

At this moment,

Chen Jie's figure was like transforming into a leopard, suddenly lunging forward.

That's right,

blood spurted out, soundlessly, and they just died like that.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Jie arrived at the stairway entrance.

The Qi Family Saber in his hand swept across, drawing a deadly arc.

At this time,

since it was completely dark at this time, no human figures could be seen around at all.

However,

fierce, decisive, bloodthirsty and ruthless!

The blade light flashed, like a poison snake emerging from its cave, fleeting in an instant.

At that very moment, the sharp Qi Family Saber pressed against his throat.

Swish—!

The blade edge emitted a sharp chill, stopping instantly less than one centimeter from his throat.

Obviously,

they had never encountered such a thing, and suddenly felt a bit dumbfounded.

From another direction, two patrolling guards happened to arrive at the stairway entrance.

Pfft—!

One stab, without any obstruction, directly penetrated through one person's throat.

The other person beside him was completely scared silly at this moment.

Since this was the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi, two meters higher than the wall.

He pointed at the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi ahead and raised one finger toward Ba Te.

He widened his eyes, gripped the Assault Rifle in his hand tightly, and was just about to raise it and pull the trigger.

Once someone opened the door of the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi, then the Jinu would unhesitatingly penetrate the other person's head.

To save his life, this patrolling guard quickly released the Assault Rifle in his hand, raised both hands, and remained silent.

Under the dim light, he turned his head and gestured to Ba Te.

With the speed of thunder too fast to cover one's ears, this unlucky patrolling guard never understood what had happened from beginning to end.

A moment later, Chen Jie and Ba Te met up.

In an instant, the Qi Family Saber in Chen Jie's hand struck out instantly.

Especially at this moment, the terrifying killing intent emanating from Chen Jie's body made his mind go completely blank.

Swish—swish—!

The two soon crept from the corner of the Shan Gu toward the stairway entrance.

Just as they were stunned, the saber in Chen Jie's hand was swung out once again.

The fierce killing intent turned into saber light like thunder, instantly piercing one person's throat.

"Go up to the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi, knock on the door!"

Chen Jie said without nonsense, in an ice-cold tone.

Hiss—!

The patrol guard's back was soaked in cold sweat; sensing the killing intent Chen Jie was emitting at this moment, he couldn't help but shudder, nearly pissing himself.

However,

He had no way to make any sound; he could only nod his head, indicating he would comply.

Because right now the blade in Chen Jie's hand was pressing against his throat, while his other hand, Claws, like the talons of a five-clawed golden dragon, clamped onto the vital point of his neck spine in an instant.

He believed that as long as he dared make any rash move.

Even if the blade didn't slit his throat, the Claws could snap his neck in an instant.

So, obeying was the best choice; if things went wrong he might still keep his life.

These patrol guards had come to the mountain valley deep in the dense forest and signed a Contract, not allowed to leave for several years.

They were generally very poor, extremely short on money, or had offended enemies outside and were being hunted down, which was why they willingly ran into the mountain valley deep in the dense forest to serve as patrol guards.

Although these people signed a Contract, they were very afraid of death!

If they weren't afraid of death, how could they possibly hole up in the valley like serving a prison sentence?

The patrol guard before him was exactly this kind of person; don't look at his fierce and evil appearance, holding an Assault Rifle, seemingly ferocious to the extreme.

But,

When his life was threatened, with a blade pointed at his throat.

In an instant, he became like a deflated ball, obedient to a fault, just short of kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

A moment later, he brought Chen Jie and Ba Te, the two of them, up the Stairs, directly arriving at the Door of the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi.

Ding-dong!

Under Chen Jie's coercion, this patrol guard didn't dare resist in the slightest; he properly pressed the doorbell.

The person inside the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi peered out through the peephole.

Seeing this patrol guard under the doorway light, he felt a bit strange.

What's the situation?

How would a patrol person suddenly come to the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi?

Due to everyone having stayed in the valley for a long time, they were all quite familiar with each other.

Click—!

The person inside didn't think much and directly opened the electronic Door of the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi.

As the electronic Door opened, Chen Jie didn't speak a word of nonsense.

He suddenly exerted force with his hand, crushing the neck of this patrol guard who was just about to resist, killing him with One Move Kill.

Originally he had thought that since the other party was so obedient and compliant, now that he had opened the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi's Door, sparing his life wouldn't matter.

But unexpectedly,

As the Door opened, this guy actually instantly erupted in resistance!

Isn't this courting death?

Bang—!

One Claw crushed the patrol guard's cervical spinal cord; Chen Jie kicked out with one leg, destroying the electronic Door's mechanism.

At this time,

The several people inside the monitoring room instantly Stunned.

What situation is this?

They hadn't yet had time to react.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

In a split second, Crossbow bolts came whistling at them.

They were inside the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi of the watchtower; the guns they carried were all hung on the wall, and they simply couldn't take them down in time.

At this moment,

A powerful sense of crisis let them know someone had attacked the valley's watchtower.

However,

They simply didn't have time to make any reaction; the Crossbow bolts penetrated their foreheads, instantly piercing through their heads.

The guy who had just opened the electronic Door was even more unlucky; at the moment he still hadn't reacted.

Blade Light flashed; he only felt himself fly up, seeing his own neck, head separated from body.

From the opening of the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi's Door to continuously killing everyone, the movements were clean and neat, done in one smooth flow, taking less than five seconds total.

Next,

The two entered the Liao Wang Ta Jian Kong Shi; Chen Jie couldn't help but praise Ba Te: "Impressive! Didn't expect your Crossbow to be this accurate!"

Just now when Chen Jie kicked and destroyed the electronic Door's mechanism and killed the door-opener.

Ba Te instantly locked onto the positions of the others inside the monitoring room; the Crossbow bolts were triggered at the same time.

Every Crossbow bolt was not Wasted; they Instant Kill five people in an instant.

Have To Say,

Ba Te's use of the Crossbow has reached perfection; even with Chen Jie's Reaction Speed, he felt Shock.

Of Course, the Crossbow's triggering only has ultra-high efficiency against people with Reaction Speed below 0.15 seconds.

Once Reaction Speed exceeds 0.15 seconds, both Crossbow bolts and close-range Bullets have very little chance of hitting.

Because their crisis sensing ability is Very Strong, they can dodge in advance.

With Chen Jie's Reaction Speed within 0.1 seconds, Ba Te's Crossbow poses no threat to him.

However, from Ba Te's skill it can be seen.

These 'Ruthless People' brought out from inside the 'Wa State Concentration Camp' each had their own former glory.

It's just that each of them excelled at different things—some were masters of tracking, some masters of assassination, some masters of spear technique!

Someone like Ba Te who mastered the crossbow was not common.

If on the boxing ring, perhaps their combat power would be quite limited.

But as long as they found a way that suited them, their combat power was extremely terrifying.

Judging by Ba Te's current state, his efficiency in assassinating with the crossbow was higher than Chen Jie's.

Hearing Chen Jie's praise, Ba Te couldn't help but grin and say:

"Dragon Head, I used to be a hunter; I've practiced with the crossbow since I was six years old."

"Although during my time inside the 'Wa State Concentration Camp' I didn't use the crossbow, my feel for it has never gone rusty."

"As long as I have the crossbow in hand, I feel like I've gained an extra life."

"But if we're talking about assassination methods, with my crossbow, I'm afraid I still can't compare to that kid Shen Yan."

"Shen Yan's flying knife technique—that's truly terrifying. He can launch seven flying knives at once; within ten meters, my crossbow isn't faster than him."

It was clear Ba Te was very wary of Shen Yan.

Hearing this, Chen Jie suddenly burst out laughing and nodded at Ba Te, saying:

"Looks like inside the 'Wa State Concentration Camp' there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons!"

"In our 'Qinglong Society' (Company)'s Twelve Halls, every one of you has a trump card!"

"Letting you serve as the Persons in Charge of the Twelve Halls was the most correct choice I ever made."

After hearing this, Ba Te also smiled on his face.

"Dragon Head, my crossbow amounts to nothing? Qilin is the terrifying one—what's fearsome about him isn't his fist technique, but his saber technique!"

"Although his saber, compared to you, Dragon Head, still has some gap."

"But in close-quarters combat, I'm afraid Shen Yan, Li Chengze, and I would all find it hard to subdue Qilin!"

"If he goes berserk, plus his desperate state, our Twelve Halls would need at least four or more to take him down."

Remembering Qilin's desperate state, Chen Jie suddenly laughed heartily and said:

"Haha—alright, don't talk about Qilin behind his back. This guy is like a bull; if he heard what you just said, he might want to spar with several of you."

Qilin's personality was very violent, and he couldn't stand still.

Whenever he had free time, he liked to find people to spar with.

At first, he still liked to find Chen Jie to spar with.

However,

After being beaten badly by Chen Jie a few times, he no longer dared to act rashly.

With Qilin's current martial arts level, in front of Chen Jie, he was practically asking for a beating.

So,

Qilin could only find the Twelve Halls to spar with, making everyone in the Twelve Halls afraid when they saw Qilin.

Half an hour later—!

All four watchtower monitoring rooms around the entire wall were cleared.

Next,

Chen Jie took out his dedicated walkie-talkie, tuned the channel, and shouted:

"Watchtower monitoring rooms cleared. Everyone gather at the east entrance of the wall in the valley. Safe, you may enter!"

Inside the 'Yuanchou Base' in the valley, without the four watchtower monitoring rooms watching, it was like a beast losing its eyes.

Moreover,

For years, this place had always been quiet, rarely visited by people.

So everyone here, regarding patrol and guard duty, felt very lax in their hearts.

When the people outside received Chen Jie's order,

Everyone in the Qinglong Society came out from the hidden place after passing through the minefield before, bringing the fat man Wang Hou toward the valley.

In less than half an hour,

Everyone had gathered at the location Chen Jie designated earlier.

The fat man Wang Hou had rested for so long, recovering his physical strength and condition.

"Fat man, the perimeter is cleared. What do we do next?"

This attack on the 'Yuanchou Base' was led by the fat man Wang Hou.

Exhale—!

The fat man took a deep breath and took out a map.

He pointed to the building in the very center of the map and said:

"This is the center of the entire valley, also called 'Yuan Hou Cheng Bao'!"

"On the surface it looks like a simple building, but underground there are five levels, and the inside is very spacious."

"Each level is as big as a soccer field; when it was built back then, it cost over a hundred million Mei Yuan."

"The perimeter is all reinforced concrete; even missiles would have a hard time blowing open the entire 'Yuan Hou Cheng Bao'."

"Starting from the first floor above, many people are stationed inside!"

"Down at the second and third floors are offices, the core area of the Money House."

"The fourth and fifth floors are the residences of office personnel."

"On the side of 'Yuan Hou Cheng Bao' there is a helipad for parking helicopters, able to park three helicopters at the same time."

"..."

The fat man kept introducing.

Qilin, hearing this, suddenly said in surprise: "Five levels underground? A space as big as a football field——?"

The fat man took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"That's right. This place was originally planned to build the most solid fortress, to become the 'Yuanchou' Base, and the facilities inside are very advanced."

"As for the Person in Charge here, at this time, he should be in the residence on the fourth or fifth level."

"But which room that bastard specifically lives in? I've been gone for years——I don't know now."

Qilin chuckled, staring at the fat man Wang Hou, and said meaningfully:

"Fat man, this place was built by you, right? I just don't understand, how could someone as cautious as you have his old nest taken over?"

The fat man Wang Hou sighed helplessly and replied:

"Actually, since we've already come here, telling you all doesn't matter."

"This place is called the 'Yuanchou' Base, originally planned to build the top 'Money House' in Southeast Asia."

"I have an elder brother named Wang Yuan, my real elder brother, I am Wang Hou, so this place is called 'Yuanchou'!"

"Everything in Southeast Asia was started by me, he was always on Hong Kong Island before."

"Later he followed me to Southeast Asia, I never expected that for money, he actually betrayed me!"

"He is my real brother, do you understand, who could have thought, my own real brother, actually wants to put me to death."

"Fortunately, a brother I once saved finally blocked a bullet for me and saved my life, otherwise I wouldn't have had any chance to live to the 'Wa State Concentration Camp'!"

"I swore that as long as I live, one day I will return here."

"Forget it! Don't mention these, the time is about right, we should take full control of this place first!"
