Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

Chapter 481 Is there movement ahead?

Qin Cang's heartbeat didn't accelerate; instead, he remained calm. The enemies before him were merely obstacles impeding their progress. If they could be quickly eliminated, they could continue their advance. At this moment, he understood that the most important thing wasn't to engage the enemy for too long, but to quickly find their weak points and launch a counterattack.

He took a deep breath and suddenly raised his voice: "Concentrate your firepower and suppress them!"

"Yes!" The team members responded quickly and began to concentrate their strength, forcing the enemies to retreat one by one.

However, just when the situation was easing slightly, the sudden changes on the battlefield made Qin Cang alert again.

"There's an ambush!" Qin Cang turned abruptly, a sharp glint in his eyes. The moment he turned back, several figures suddenly appeared from the distant bushes, approaching like ghosts. Their speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to react.

"Damn it!" Qin Cang cursed softly, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart. He realized that the enemy's ambush this time was far more complicated than he had expected.

"Fight with all your strength!" he ordered loudly.

The battle instantly descended into chaos. The team members fought fiercely with the enemy, their swords clashing and the sounds of flesh and blood colliding. The air was filled with the smell of rust, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating.

An unspoken anxiety welled up in Liu San's heart. He had already sensed the complexity of this surprise attack. The enemy's strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. There must be a more sinister plan behind it. If they continued to be delayed, this battle might develop into a protracted and fierce battle, and their advantage would no longer be obvious.

He looked up in Qin Cang's direction and found that he remained calm, his eyes sharp as a knife, directing every detail of the battle. Liu San's mind moved, and then he made a quick decision and rushed towards Qin Cang.

"Sir," Liu San whispered, "the enemy is deeply ambushed. We shouldn't drag this out any longer. If we continue to engage them, we might find ourselves in even greater trouble. I suggest we temporarily evacuate this area and adjust our tactics."

Qin Cang's gaze instantly focused, clearly aware of Liu San's alertness. He remained silent for a moment, his eyes still scanning everything on the battlefield.

"Retreat?" He repeated softly, his eyes becoming even colder. "No, such an evacuation is too risky. The enemy has already established a blockade. If we retreat, we will only fall into their trap."

"Then what should we do?" A hint of anxiety flashed in Liu San's eyes.

"Continue to suppress, approach the enemy's command center, and disrupt their command." Qin Cang's voice was as cold as the wind. "If they think we can be delayed, they will expose more flaws."

Liu San frowned slightly, his uneasiness growing, but he nodded firmly. "Understood."

Qin Cang quickly adjusted his tactics, commanding his team to change their formation and concentrate their forces to attack the enemy's weak points. Every sword strike, every slash, was extremely threatening and carried a fierce momentum. On the battlefield, the enemy's position wavered slightly, and cracks began to appear.

However, the enemy didn't seem ready to give up easily. The battle intensified, and the power confrontation between the two sides became extremely fierce. Qin Cang observed everything calmly, every move like a precise calculation, and no mistakes were allowed.

The battle continued, the air thick with the smell of blood and gunpowder. The enemy pounced on them like a ferocious beast, but Qin Cang and his team members reacted without hesitation, repelling them head-on. However, as time went on, the enemy's numbers and offensive power seemed to grow more intense. Every break in the battle was a great test of their will and physical strength.

Qin Cang's eyes remained as sharp as a hawk's, never letting up for a moment. Every time he swung his sword, his mind wasn't solely on the enemy before him, but on every detail of the battlefield, every potential shift. He knew that if he didn't make a quick decision, the situation might slip out of control. The enemy's ambush grew increasingly rigorous, clearly harboring more hidden plans.

Yet, at this moment, a subtle feeling quietly rose from the depths of his heart. Qin Cang frowned, turned his head sharply, and scanned his surroundings. That feeling didn't come from the enemy, but from his own keen awareness of his surroundings. Although the surroundings were still in chaos and the sounds of fighting continued, he vaguely sensed that something seemed unusual somewhere ahead.

"Liu San." Qin Cang called out in a low voice, his eyes still fixed on the battlefield, "Watch out ahead."

Liu San's eyes narrowed, and he instantly understood what Qin Cang meant. He nodded slightly, but couldn't help but wonder, "Are there any new enemies ahead?" He didn't answer immediately, but continued to watch the battle closely, his eyes flickering with alertness.

Qin Cang's gaze pierced the chaotic battlefield, locking onto a distant patch of woods. A vague premonition rose within him. As the enemy drew closer, his gaze grew more focused, like a cheetah lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce on its prey.

Just then, an unusual sound suddenly emanated from the front of the group. It was footsteps, soft yet distinct. In the night, the surrounding trees and grass were particularly sensitive to the wind and the din of battle, but the footsteps were remarkably clear.

"Stop!" Qin Cang suddenly shouted, interrupting the team members' movements. He listened intently to the movement ahead. It was someone walking, not fast, but steady and powerful, and it didn't seem like the enemy's footsteps.

Liu San was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his fighting stance. He turned to Qin Cang and whispered, "Is there any movement up ahead?"

Qin Cang didn't answer. He took a deep breath, his gaze still fixed on the distance. He slowly waved his hand, signaling the team to stop. The entire team seemed frozen in time. Aside from the sounds of breathing and the distant roar of battle, a deep silence fell. Qin Cang's eyes were fixed on the woods ahead, his face solemn.

"Enemy?" Liu San frowned, his eyes still alert, but he was also a little confused. This area had never seen any unexpected enemies, not even those lurking in the woods.

"No." Qin Cang finally spoke in a low and solemn voice, "This is not an enemy."

"What is that?" Liu San was shocked and reacted almost immediately, his eyes became serious.

Qin Cang didn't answer immediately, but instead walked slowly forward, his steps steady, as if unaffected by the outside world. He passed through the dense bushes, gradually approaching the source of the footsteps. Liu San didn't hesitate and followed closely behind. The team members also quickly mobilized, ready to respond to any emergency.
