Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Just then, Xiaohuan came in with food.

"Your Highness, please eat something." Xiaohuan said as she put the food beside the bed.

Zhang Ling nodded, took the food and began to eat slowly.

"Xiao Huan, do you know how to use the power of 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'?" Zhang Ling asked.

Xiao Huan shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but I heard that only people with special blood can use the power of the 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'."

Special blood? Zhang Ling's heart moved. Could it be that he also possessed this special blood?

He recalled some of the changes that had taken place in his body since he crossed over to this world.

His strength and speed are much greater than before, and he also has a special ability - the ability to sense the danger around him.

Could it be that all this is due to the influence of the "Tears of the Moon Goddess"?

The more Zhang Ling thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He decided to find an opportunity to study the "Tears of the Moon Goddess" carefully.

After finishing his meal, Zhang Ling felt that he had regained some strength.

He asked Xiaohuan to help him get out of bed, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.

The scenery of the palace is still as magnificent as ever, but it is filled with an atmosphere of oppression and solemnity.

He knew that the usurper would not let him go, and he had to become strong as soon as possible to protect himself and those around him.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?" Xiaohuan asked.

Zhang Ling turned to look at her and said, "I'm thinking about how to get revenge."

Xiaohuan's eyes flashed with worry, and she said, "Your Highness, the road to revenge is full of dangers, you must be careful."

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "I know, I will be careful."

A determined light flashed in his eyes. He knew that the road to revenge was long and difficult, but he would not give up. He would try every possible means to make those who hurt him pay the price!

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling frowned and asked.

Xiaohuan walked to the door, opened it, and saw a guard running in in a panic.

"Your Highness, this is bad! The usurper has sent people to attack the palace!"

Zhang Ling's face changed. He knew that this day had finally come...

After Zhang Ling and Xiao Huan returned to the palace, they did not see the peace they had expected. A strange atmosphere filled the palace, the guards were nervous and hurried, and the palace maids were silent.

"What's going on? What happened in the palace?" Zhang Ling grabbed a guard and asked.

The guard stammered, "Your Highness, since you and Miss Xiaohuan left, strange things have been happening in the palace..."

"Strange? What's strange?" Zhang Ling asked.

"That's it...that's it..." The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally said it out loud, "The palace...is haunted!"

"Haunted?" Zhang Ling and Xiaohuan looked at each other and saw confusion and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Zhang Ling said in a deep voice: "Take me to see it."

The guards took Zhang Ling and Xiaohuan to a remote palace.

The palace gate was closed and covered with talismans, and an eerie atmosphere emanated from inside.

"This is it, Your Highness." The guard pointed at the palace and said, "Since you left, strange noises have often been heard here, and some people have seen...ghosts..."

Zhang Ling walked to the palace door, reached out and pushed it, but found that the door did not move at all.

"It looks like it's locked." Zhang Ling said, "Open the door."

The guards looked at each other and no one dared to step forward.

"What? Are you scared?" Zhang Ling snorted coldly, "A bunch of cowards!"

Seeing this, Xiao Huan quickly said, "Your Highness, let me do it."

Xiaohuan took the key from the guard and opened the palace door tremblingly.

"Squeak-"

With a sharp friction sound, the palace door slowly opened, and a cold wind blew in, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Zhang Ling and Xiaohuan walked into the palace and saw it was in a mess, with signs of fighting everywhere and some broken limbs scattered on the ground.

"Ah——" Xiaohuan screamed and hid behind Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling suppressed the fear in his heart and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, he found a pool of black liquid in the corner of the wall, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

He squatted down, took a closer look, and found that the liquid was still moving.

"What is this?" Zhang Ling wondered and reached out to touch the liquid.

"Your Highness! Be careful!" Xiaohuan exclaimed and grabbed Zhang Ling's hand.

At this moment, the pool of liquid suddenly moved and rushed towards Zhang Ling!

Zhang Ling reacted quickly and dodged immediately.

The liquid hit nothing and fell on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound, and actually corroded a big hole in the ground!

"What the hell is this?" Zhang Ling was shocked. He quickly drew his sword and looked at the pool of liquid vigilantly.

The liquid squirmed on the ground for a while, and then slowly condensed into a human shape.

The human figure was completely black, without any facial features, only a pair of blood-red eyes that emitted an evil light.

"Hehe... Tears of the Moon Goddess... Do you think you can really control it?" The black shadow laughed coldly, and the sound was exactly the same as the one heard in the ruins of the Moon Temple before.

Zhang Ling's heart sank. He knew that he was in trouble.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked sternly.

"Who am I? Haha..." The black shadow laughed coldly, "I am your... nightmare!"

After the black shadow finished speaking, he pounced towards Zhang Ling!

Zhang Ling swung his sword to block, but found that his sword could not hurt the black shadow at all.

The black shadow was extremely fast and powerful, and Zhang Ling was no match for it.

After a few rounds, Zhang Ling was beaten back step by step and suffered multiple injuries.

"Your Highness!" Xiaohuan exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but was pushed away by Zhang Ling.

"Hurry up! Go find help!" Zhang Ling yelled.

Xiaohuan knew that she would only be a burden if she stayed here, so she ran out of the palace in tears.

Zhang Ling faced the powerful black shadow alone, and he knew that he might be in great danger today.

The shadow pressed closer and closer, and a cold voice echoed in the palace: "The Tears of the Moon Goddess... are mine... You... can't take them away!"

Zhang Ling’s physical strength was almost exhausted, but he did not give up resistance. He waved the sword in his hand and attacked the black shadow again and again.

However, his attacks had no effect on the shadow at all.

A hint of mockery flashed in the black shadow's eyes, and it stretched out its hand and grabbed Zhang Ling's sword.

"Click——"

With a crisp sound, Zhang Ling's sword was broken by the black shadow!

Zhang Ling was filled with despair, he knew he was no longer able to resist.

The black shadow slowly raised his hand, ready to give Zhang Ling a fatal blow.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped the black shadow!

"what--"

The black shadow let out a shrill scream, and its body began to tremble violently, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing.

The golden light dissipated, and an old man in Taoist robes appeared in front of Zhang Ling.

"Thank you for saving my life!" Zhang Ling quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, it's just a small favor."

"May I ask your name, senior?" Zhang Ling asked.

"My name is Tianjizi." said the old man.

"It turns out to be Senior Tianjizi!" Zhang Ling was excited. He knew that Tianjizi was a hermit with great magical powers. He didn't expect to meet him here.

"The Tears of the Moon Goddess in your hand is not a good thing." Tianjizi said, looking at the gem in Zhang Ling's hand.

Zhang Ling was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean by this, Senior?"

Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Xu Erniu scratched his head and stopped asking questions. Whatever the battalion commander said was the truth, and he just had to follow his orders.

Zhang Ling led the dozen or so remaining soldiers, crouched down, and moved towards the designated location under the cover of night.

The location chosen by Zhang Ling was a natural rock crack, which was hidden enough, and according to the bird's-eye view, it could just avoid the shock wave of the gas explosion.

"Be careful, don't step on the landmines!" Zhang Ling cursed in a low voice.

The terrain of Cangyunling is complex, and there are Japanese mines everywhere. If you are not careful, you can lose your life.

The soldiers advanced cautiously, afraid of making any noise.

Finally, they arrived at the designated location.

Zhang Ling set up the only remaining mortar and carefully adjusted the angle and range.

Guided by the bird's-eye view, he needed to accurately fire the shells at the weak points of the hillside.

"Battalion Commander, get ready!" Xu Erniu whispered on the side.

"Okay!" Zhang Ling took a deep breath and lit the fuse.

"boom!"

The first shell whizzed out, cut through the night sky, and landed accurately at the target location.

The mountain shook violently and debris flew everywhere.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the second shell also hit the target accurately.

A huge crack appeared on the hillside and a pungent smell filled the air.

"It's done!" Zhang Ling was delighted.

He knew it was a sign of a gas leak.

Next, all you have to do is wait for the explosion.

Zhang Ling led the soldiers to evacuate quickly and hid in the cracks of the rocks.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.

Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard, and the entire Cangyun Ridge seemed to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shock wave swept over, uprooting the surrounding trees and causing the soil to fly.

Zhang Ling and others hid in the cracks of the rocks, feeling the shaking of the earth, and their hearts were filled with shock.

The explosion lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding.

When everything calmed down, Zhang Ling climbed out of the rock crack and looked around. He saw that the original position of the Sakata Regiment had become a ruin.

There were ruins everywhere, smoke and a mess.

The bodies of the devils were lying all over the ground, it was a horrible sight.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burning.

Zhang Ling knew that the Sakata Unit was completely finished.

"Battalion Commander, we won!" Xu Erniu shouted excitedly.

The other soldiers also cheered.

With their only four remaining artillery shells, they completed a seemingly impossible mission, annihilated the Sakata Regiment, and avenged Commander Cheng and their fallen comrades.

Zhang Ling looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with emotion.

He came to this world, experienced so much, and finally achieved his first goal.

Next, he will continue to work hard to complete more tasks, change the fate of the 772nd Regiment, and change the fate of China's War of Resistance.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do next?" Xu Erniu asked.

Zhang Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the independent regiment and report the situation to the brigade commander first."
