bong!!!
A rocket launcher exploded at the doorway, and for the first time, Ling Feng personally experienced what it meant to have the earth shake and mountains tremble. Countless glass shards rained down on Ling Feng and Leng Feng.
Da da da!!!
The sound of gunfire erupted again.
"Quick, hide!" Leng Feng shouted. Lying by the door had a high probability of being hit by bullets. He grabbed Ling Feng and pulled him to hide behind the nearby cash register.
After scanning the shop and confirming that only innocent people were present and there was no other danger, he let out a sigh of relief and said to everyone inside in English.
"We need to get to the Chinese Embassy."
Upon hearing "Embassy," the boss immediately said excitedly, "To the Embassy, they'll take us in, we're Chinese."
Hearing this, Ling Feng and Leng Feng looked at him speechlessly. Just yesterday, someone claimed he was no longer Chinese.
As soon as they stepped out, Leng Feng spotted a person wearing a clown mask, aiming a rocket launcher at their location.
"Get down!" Leng Feng quickly pushed the boss and the little boy down with his hands, narrowly dodging the projectile.
Ling Feng watched the projectile fly past his eyes and explode against a stone house not far away.
"Let's go!"
Ling Feng followed closely behind Leng Feng, darting through a hail of bullets. He desperately wanted to pull out an AK and fire at the surrounding enemies, but the moment he raised his gun, all the muzzles would instantly turn towards him.
Although the true energy within him was enough to conjure several protective talismans, it was still too early in the conflict, and expending his true energy here was not worth it.
Whether it was a matter of luck or not, they somehow ended up near the area of engagement. Ling Feng and the others quickly dodged to the side, observing the intense exchange of firepower between the warring factions.
However, it was clear that the Red Scarf Army's firepower was overwhelming, keeping the government forces pinned down.
Bang bang bang!
A large-caliber cannon of the Red Scarf Army mercilessly reaped lives, with a single shot capable of blowing off a person's arm.
Whoosh!
Rumble!
Support for the government forces finally arrived. A soldier fired a rocket launcher, destroying a passenger vehicle. As he aimed at another vehicle and pulled the trigger, a bullet struck his arm, which was holding the rocket launcher.
The aim wavered, and the rocket launcher flew towards Ling Feng and Leng Feng.
Seeing this, Leng Feng quickly grabbed a mattress that only had springs left, intending to block it. Ling Feng couldn't believe Leng Feng could block a rocket launcher with such an object; if it failed, they would all die.
He quickly stepped forward, a trace of true energy covering his palm. Facing the incoming rocket launcher, he swung his arm, and the surrounding airflow followed his movement.
"Tai Chi! Four ounces deflect a thousand pounds! Borrowing force to strike!"
Under Ling Feng's control of qi, the rocket launcher was forcefully redirected away from them and towards the Red Scarf Army.
Rumble!
The rocket launcher exploded with a deafening roar, killing several Red Scarf Army soldiers.
Leng Feng stared at this miraculous scene, utterly stunned. Was this something a human could do?
Upon witnessing Ling Feng's maneuver, the Black Kid excitedly shouted, "Chinese kung fu!"
"Let's go!" Ling Feng retracted his technique and quickly shouted to Leng Feng and the others. He had learned this Tai Chi Bagua Palm from the library of True Monarch Xiayue Zhuyang. If mastered, he could even overcome hardness with softness without relying on true energy.
This move was effective against smaller projectiles like rocket launchers, but it wouldn't work for artillery shells; they were too large to redirect.
"Yes, let's go quickly. We're not far from the Embassy now," the boss said. He had been keeping his head down and hadn't witnessed Ling Feng's display. Seeing that they were safe, he urged them on.
"Keep up!" Leng Feng didn't ask any questions. He grabbed the little boy and the boss and ran, urging Ling Feng to follow.
The group resumed their escape. Upon reaching an open area, they found themselves surrounded by government troops, allowing them a brief respite.
As they saw soldiers signaling people to board a bus for evacuation, a rocket launcher suddenly flew in from a distance, hitting the bus. Flames erupted, and the simultaneous explosion of the bus and the rocket launcher created a massive shockwave!
Ling Feng and the others, still tens of meters away, were caught in the blast and thrown to the ground amidst a cloud of dust.
Ling Feng and the others got up from the ground, seeing many people who had been knocked down by the shockwave. Those closer had even been killed or severely injured by the residual blast.
Simultaneously, a large number of government soldiers protecting the area were killed by the rebels' rocket launcher.
"Let's go," Leng Feng urged. Until they reached the Embassy, everywhere else was dangerous. Lingering for even a second meant an increased risk.
Ling Feng and the others pressed on. Along the way, Leng Feng saw someone trapped in a vehicle and rushed over to help, pulling them out and carrying them on his shoulder as they continued to run.
Ling Feng deeply admired Leng Feng's spirit. In such a dangerous situation, to still be willing to rescue others, there were likely few people besides soldiers who would do so.
Da da da!!!
The Red Scarf Army was catching up, their AKs mowing down person after person. The road ahead was blocked by vehicles, making further progress impossible. They couldn't possibly vault over them; if they dared to try, bullets would likely find them in the next second.
Ling Feng and the others could only take cover behind the vehicles to avoid being hit by bullets.
"Dogs! Damn you!" The Red Scarf Army was fighting with great fervor, firing at the vehicles while closing in.
"We'll go together in a moment. Even if we die, we'll take a few of them with us."
Leng Feng coldly glanced at the approaching enemies, then at Ling Feng. He pulled a combat knife from his pocket, preparing to fight them hand-to-hand if they got too close.
Ling Feng looked at Leng Feng and took out two fully loaded AKs from his backpack grid, handing one to Leng Feng.
Leng Feng was stunned upon seeing the gun Ling Feng offered him.
"A gun? Where did you get it?"
"Never mind where I got it, prepare to attack!" The moment Ling Feng touched the gun, he felt an unfamiliar familiarity with it. He vaguely understood how to fire, aim, and control the recoil.
Leng Feng nodded, took the AK, and began to look for an opportunity. Ling Feng remained motionless. Under the enemy's suppressing fire, if he were to pop his head up now, he would likely be dead before he could even fire a shot.
Click, click, click…
The sound of empty magazines echoed. Ling Feng and Leng Feng exchanged a look, then simultaneously rose, raised their guns, and began to fire.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The AKs in Ling Feng and Leng Feng's hands spewed fire, bullets flying from the barrels and striking the Red Scarf Army soldiers.
The Red Scarf Army soldiers, in the process of reloading, were filled with fear. How could they have imagined that Ling Feng and Leng Feng would have guns? Bullets tore through their chests.
Of the four Red Scarf Army soldiers pursuing them, three were shot dead by Leng Feng, and one was shot dead by Ling Feng.
Just as Ling Feng and Leng Feng began to relax, the sound of footsteps echoed from behind. Their hearts tightened, and they simultaneously turned and raised their guns to aim.
"Drop your weapons!" Several fully armed Chinese soldiers, wielding Type 95 assault rifles, pointed them at the duo and sternly shouted.
"We're friendly! We're friendly! Don't shoot!"
Seeing that they were soldiers from his own country, Leng Feng's face lit up with joy. While shouting that they were friendly, he dropped the AK. Ling Feng, seeing this, pretended to put his gun down and tossed it under the vehicle, but in reality, he had already put the AK back into his backpack grid.
Hearing Leng Feng speaking Chinese, the Chinese soldiers paused and carefully examined both Leng Feng and Ling Feng. After confirming they were indeed Chinese, they quickly said, "Hurry into the Embassy. It's very dangerous outside."
Under the guidance of the Chinese soldiers, Ling Feng and the others were escorted into the Chinese Embassy.
Soon, Ling Feng and the others were settled. Originally, Ling Feng's Unbounded Sword was to be confiscated, but Ling Feng vehemently refused. The Embassy staff found it difficult to take it by force, so they could only tell him to be careful and allowed him to keep the Unbounded Sword.
In a corner of the Chinese Embassy, Ling Feng was heartily eating a bowl of boxed rice. Food tasted exceptionally good after a battle. He felt like he could eat several more bowls, but evidently, there wouldn't be that much food available for him.
Currently, there were many Chinese people in the Embassy, and the available food would only be enough for everyone to have one meal.
"Ling Feng, you're here."
Leng Feng, with the Black Kid, carrying bowls of boxed rice, arrived in front of Ling Feng and casually sat down beside him.
"Leng Feng, you probably want to ask about my identity and why I could deflect the rocket launcher, right?" Ling Feng asked, swallowing a mouthful of rice and turning to Leng Feng.
"Yes." Leng Feng nodded. The scene he witnessed today was simply too incredible, completely shattering his worldview.
"Kung fu! Absolutely Chinese kung fu!" Tunbu exclaimed excitedly, holding up his rice bowl.
"My identity is simple; I am merely a traveler passing through. As for the move I used to deflect the rocket launcher this morning, it is indeed Chinese kung fu, called Tai Chi Bagua Palm," Ling Feng said with a serious expression, spouting nonsense.
