The hermit who entered the room felt severe pain all over his body, became limp and numb, and instantly lost the ability to resist.

The chaos in the tent was silent and rapid, but the hermits outside the tent who had not yet entered the tent could keenly smell the danger.

"Oh no! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Someone shouted loudly, and panic was instantly ignited.

The remaining hermits were terrified and turned around to flee. Just as they walked out of the room, a burst of gunfire rang out and the fleeing people fell to the ground one after another.

Gu Ze and Chen Liangxian also joined the battle in time. They formed an efficient cross-fire network, which instantly disrupted the hermit's fleeing formation.

Some of the hermits who were shot died on the spot, while some were luckier but had already lost their combat effectiveness.

As the gunshots continued to ring out, all the winners present showed expressions of horror.

They all lost their fighting spirit, and now the only thing they wanted was to escape...

Seeing that some people had escaped from the tent where the medical team was stationed, Zhou Shen led the soldiers to provide support.

"Surround them, don't let them escape!"

Following Zhou Shen's order, a group of generals began to suppress the enemy with firepower.

More hermits fell.

Their leader saw that something was wrong, he looked around calmly and locked his sights on Zhou Shen.

He was quite confident in his own strength. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. The person who gave the order on the opposite side was obviously the commander.

As long as he is captured, there will be no need to worry about the Xia Men in front of him not giving up these unknown powerful magical weapons.

Yes, in his opinion, these are magical instruments.

It is something more powerful than the magic sword provided by his master.

He dodged the gunfire, quickly approached Zhou Shen, and delivered a fierce palm strike.

However, things did not turn out as he expected.

Zhou Shen faced the palm strike and took it head on.

Two extremely powerful internal forces collided with each other!

The dull thunder-like sound distorted the air!

The violent air wave exploded with the two of them as the center, sweeping up the dust and grass debris on the ground to form a small impact ring!

Thump thump thump…

The two were forced to retreat repeatedly by the huge recoil force, and their feet sank deeply into the mud!

The hermit leader only felt his arms go numb, his blood boiling, and he was horrified.

"How could this person's internal energy be so strong?! Besides the renowned Commander Chen, how could there be someone else in Xia Country who could..."

This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment.

Before he could steady himself, and before he could even use his power again, Zhou Shen was knocked back, his feet unstable, and his wrist raised!

The muzzle of the gun was suddenly pointed at the hermit leader in the smoke and dust raised by the retreat!

"boom!"

This shot was too close and too fast!

It’s so fast that it exceeds the limit of human body’s reaction!

"Uh……!"

The hermit leader felt as if an invisible force was piercing his chest.

He stumbled, lowered his head, and looked at his chest in disbelief.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with unspeakable fear and the deepest unwillingness.

He thought he was invincible. Even if the opponent was at the same level as him, he would not be able to die. At least he would have no problem escaping.

"You...you...are also...at the Venerable Realm...No...Impossible...Xia Country...How could it be..."

With a muffled groan, his body suddenly stiffened, his eyes staring at the gun in Zhou Shen's hand, and then he fell heavily to the ground, completely dead.

With the reinforcements led by Zhou Shen joining the battlefield, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

The chaos was quickly brought under control and the battle was nearing its end.

The firelight in the camp illuminated the messy ground and the bodies of hermits lying all over the place. The members of the medical team were finally safe.

When the last charred spark in the distant granary area was completely covered by the soldiers with wet soil, it announced that the long and tragic night was finally over.

The air was filled with a lingering smell of burning and a strong smell of blood, mixed with the scent of damp earth, making it suffocating.

Xie Xiaogang leaned against a partially collapsed wall that was charred by the fire, breathing heavily.

His body was covered in cigarette ash and blood from someone unknown. There was a cut on his arm, which he had simply bandaged tightly with a piece of cloth.

He looked up and around, and saw that most of the granary area had been reduced to scorched earth.

Where grain was once piled high, all that remained were broken walls, charred marks like giant scars, and scattered grains that had been distorted beyond recognition by smoke and fire.

Looking at this shocking scene, Xie Xiaogang frowned and rubbed his fingers unconsciously in the rough cracks of the broken wall.

"Report to the Captain!" A soldier who was also exhausted and had traces of smoke on his face ran over quickly and reported with a fist clasp.

"The group of Japanese who fled in the direction of General Zhou were all executed on the spot by the general and his men! However..."

The soldier's voice paused, a look of solemnity appearing on his face.

"There's a river to the west of our granary. The leader, the Wolie people... he jumped into the river and escaped."

Jumping into the river to escape means huge variables!

"Immediately dispatch more personnel and conduct a thorough search of all possible landing points upstream and downstream along the riverbank! We cannot allow him to escape!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldier's expression changed, and he turned around and left quickly to convey the order.

After Zhou Yunxi finished dealing with the affairs on the other side, he hurried to the granary.

Looking at the devastation before him, a layer of grief and indignation instantly appeared on his face.

"These heartless thieves! The hopes of so many soldiers and civilians for the entire year... burned to ashes! I will not be a human being until I avenge this!"

Xie Xiaogang dragged his tired and heavy feet to Zhou Yunxi, his face full of worry.

"General, most of the food supplies have been burned. The military situation is urgent and the food shortage is huge!

This concerns the food rations of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the rear…Should His Royal Highness and Sister be informed of this matter immediately? Please make a decision?"

"No!" Zhou Yunxi shook his head decisively without any hesitation.

"At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife are experiencing a breakthrough in their cultivation. We must not disturb them.

Although food and grass are tight, fortunately a small number of people have survived and should be able to hold on for more than a month!

All matters will be discussed after His Highness and Madam finish their training."

The Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan and his wife Wang Xinyao they mentioned had no idea that the grain in Yundu City had been burned.

They are now in their own space.

Wang Xinyao was in the spiritual spring water, feeling the cool spring water surrounding her body, as if all the pores in her body were open at this moment.

She closed her eyes and let herself completely immerse in the wonderful feeling, enjoying this moment of peace and relaxation.

After a while, Wang Xinyao slowly opened her eyes and stood up from the spiritual spring water.

She shook her hair gently, and water droplets splashed out, forming a beautiful arc.

Wang Xinyao took out a golden pill from her arms and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted in her mouth and turned into a powerful spiritual energy that quickly spread throughout her body.

This spiritual power rushed and flowed through her meridians. Wherever it passed, the originally blocked meridians were cleared, and the spiritual power flowed freely in her body.

As the spiritual power continued to flow, Wang Xinyao's aura became stronger and stronger.

“Venerable Realm… I finally broke through to the Venerable Realm!”

He felt the spiritual power in his body, which was an unprecedented powerful feeling.

Just as she was immersed in the joy of the breakthrough, the Phoenix Jade hanging around her neck suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

The shadow of a phoenix flew out from the jade and began to dance in the air.

Wang Xinyao looked at the phoenix shadow in surprise. Its feathers looked lifelike, just like a real phoenix.

Immediately afterwards, lines of golden characters appeared on the phoenix shadow, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Is this... the first half of 'Phoenix Secret'?" Wang Xinyao stared at the words in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

She had seen the legend of "Phoenix Secret" on the ancient relics in Zhao Haoxuan's spiritual jade.

This is an extremely powerful martial art, but it has always been just a legend. Unexpectedly, it actually appeared in front of her today.

Wang Xinyao didn't hesitate at all and immediately began to practice following the phoenix's shadow.

Her movements are light and agile, and every move is like a dancing phoenix, full of power and beauty.

As she continued to practice, she found that the moves of the "Phoenix Technique" were more sophisticated than all the moves she had learned before.

Each move contains endless variations and power.

She was completely immersed in the practice of this technique and forgot the passage of time.

When you feel tired, swallow a golden pill to restore your strength; when you feel thirsty, drink a sip of spiritual spring water to replenish your water.

No one knew how long it had passed, but when she finally learned all the moves in the "Phoenix Sutra", the phoenix shadow slowly flew back into the Phoenix Jade, and the light gradually faded.
