Battalion Commander Xu pulled out two grenades and threw them towards the bandit leader's side. Taking advantage of the bombing sounds coming from the bandits' side, they quickly retreated to a safe place, found cover, and began firing in their direction.

The bandits quickly retaliated, and a fierce gunfight ensued.

After fighting for more than 20 minutes, Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe also led their men down the mountain.

Hearing the commotion, Commander Zhao's side also began to move up the mountain to encircle the enemy.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Battalion Commander Xu grabbed the leader by the collar and pressed a gun against his head. "Tell your men to drop their weapons!"

The leader sneered, "Kid, you think you can win by capturing me?"

No sooner had they finished speaking than a group of bandits emerged from another secret passage and surrounded them. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and Cheng Ying and her companions were now attacked from both sides.

Upon seeing the situation, Cheng Ying immediately greeted Yu Jianshe, who was standing to the side, and instantly teleported behind the group of bandits who had emerged from the secret passage.

Cheng Ying raised her hands and activated her lightning-based supernatural power. Immediately, streaks of purple lightning ripped through the sky and shot straight towards the heads of the bandits.

The bandits didn't even have time to escape before they were all hacked to pieces, which intimidated the bandits on the other side.

Unexpectedly, the other side had such extraordinary abilities and combat power. Even the leader who had been captured by Battalion Commander Xu was terrified.

Cheng Ying quickly shouted, "I know that many of you brothers were forced to come to the mountains to become bandits. If any of you brothers are willing to surrender, we will forgive and forget your past mistakes!"

Many of the bandits were tempted, as they had indeed been forced to come here, but they dared not act rashly and were all waiting for the first person to take the plunge.

Cheng Ying said again, "I'm only giving you one chance. Come out now and I'll guarantee your safety. I'll count to three, and anyone who's willing can run this way."

Cheng Ying's actions shocked everyone. They all knew that the feat of striking the bandit with lightning was Cheng Ying's doing. Her fighting prowess inspired some people, since such opportunities were rare, so they might as well give it a shot.

Soon, one person ran out, then two people ran out, and then more people followed suit. Those who were observing the situation saw that the people who ran out were all safe, so they joined them!

At this moment, the leader of the gang, seeing this scene, was furious. Soon, the bandits who had initially been in a favorable position lost nearly a third of their men!

During this time, some bandits also fired shots at those who ran away, but strangely, the bullets did not hit those people, as if the bullets hit a membrane.

Of course, this was all Cheng Ying's doing. The moment those people ran over, she placed a layer of lightning on them to prevent them from being harmed.

When no one came to surrender anymore, Cheng Ying became ruthless.

She shouted, "Very well, since the rest of them are unwilling, we won't force them. Comrades, give them a good beating!"

As soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, Battalion Commander Xu, Yu Jianshe, and others immediately opened fire on the bandits.

The two sides started fighting again. Yu Jianshe took the opportunity to use his wind-type ability, and a series of wind blades swept towards the bandits!

Immediately, screams erupted from the bandits' side, some even being cleaved in two before they could even utter a scream.

The remaining bandits, after being repeatedly attacked, lost their previous arrogance. They ran away and hid whenever they could, and soon showed signs of defeat.

Half an hour later, even though the bandits had a large number of men, they were quickly dealt with.

At this moment, no one noticed the sinister look in the eyes of the leader, who was paralyzed with fear.

After the battle, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded.

While Cheng Ying was discussing follow-up matters with Battalion Commander Xu, she suddenly heard a scream.

It turned out that a lowly soldier discovered that the leader, who had been lying on the ground, was gone.

Everyone immediately became alert and began searching everywhere.

Meanwhile, the leader had quietly circled around to the rear of the group, where the newly captured supplies and weapons were stored.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he pulled a bomb from his pocket. This was his last trump card, originally intended for self-preservation in a critical moment, but now he intended to drag everyone down with him.

Just as he was about to detonate the bomb, Cheng Ying keenly sensed something was wrong, teleported behind him, and kicked the bomb away.

The bomb exploded in mid-air, but fortunately no innocent casualties were caused.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. "Whew!" That was really close.
