Two realms! I have a Soul Refining Banner

Chapter 49: Total Annihilation! Despair in Jiangdong

what--!

The piercing screams tore through the deathly silence of the hall, rising and falling, filled with bone-chilling fear.

The Wa State Allied Army soldiers, though having experienced the ravages of war, have hands stained with blood.

but,

At this moment, everyone was stiff and pale.

They had never seen such a bizarre sight before.

A comrade-in-arms who usually trained side by side suddenly collapsed to the ground, a hideous hole appearing out of nowhere on his forehead.

Red and white substances gushed out, leaving no chance to resist.

this moment,

All the Wa State Allied Army soldiers were completely terrified, their minds blank.

They nearly dropped their automatic rifles, their blood seemed to freeze, and only a chill ran deep into their bones remained.

boom!

A sharp gunshot shattered the chaos!

Liu Jiangdong suddenly drew his pistol from his waist and roared angrily at the front:

"Shut the hell up, all of you!"

He suppressed his unease, his voice hoarse yet authoritative:

"Three men per group, back to back forming a triangular formation! Fire at the first sign of life!"

"It's all just a charade! A complete smokescreen!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers grasped at straws and instantly calmed down.

Liu Jiangdong is their backbone!

The group immediately obeyed the order, holding up their assault rifles and standing back to back.

The group quickly formed a tight triangular formation, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily, their fingers gripping the triggers.

The lobby on the first floor was deathly silent.

Everyone held their breath, cautiously observing the stairwell leading to the second floor, fearing that the eerie black shadow would reappear.

Waaah—!

A biting wind suddenly swept in, carrying a sinister aura that chilled everyone to the bone.

A deadly terror filled the air.

"What the hell is that? Get your ass out here!"

Enraged, Liu Jiangdong suddenly pulled the trigger.

boom!

The bullet whistled out, but only left a deep bullet hole in the wall.

"If you're going to have a fair and square competition, what kind of skill is it to resort to underhanded tactics?"

He roared, his tone fierce but his inner fear barely concealed.

As soon as he finished speaking,

The surroundings fell silent instantly, with only the soldiers' heavy, rapid breathing and heartbeats remaining.

The eerie silence was more suffocating than a raging storm.

At this time,

A trusted aide cautiously leaned close to Liu Jiangdong's ear and whispered in a trembling voice:

"General! This situation is too strange. Should we retreat to the camp and make further plans?"

"Shut up!"

Liu Jiangdong suddenly turned around and shouted, his eyes fierce.

immediately,

He pointed his pistol at the hall entrance, his tone forceful but unable to conceal his panic:

"Just concentrate your forces and block the main gate!"

"Blow up the gate! I refuse to believe he can withstand so many guns and high-explosive bombs!"

The Wa State Allied Army consisted of more than 100 people, who were divided into three groups.

The vanguard of fifteen men was wiped out after charging the second floor!

The second group of over thirty men charged forward, but were also wiped out instantly, with not a single one able to send a message.

Now, only about sixty people remain in the lobby on the first floor, including Liu Jiangdong.

this moment,

Everyone wore expressions of fear, and morale plummeted.

Without hesitation, the commanders immediately took out high-explosive bombs, arranged them properly, and detonated them suddenly.

boom--!

The violent explosion was deafening, and the shockwave slammed into the door.

The "Eight Desolations Annihilation Formation" set up by Chen Jie was torn open by the shockwave of the bomb.

Light streamed in from outside, but it did nothing to dispel the gloom and fear in the hall.

Liu Jiangdong then led the group to slowly retreat towards the door.

He verbally reprimanded everyone for not retreating, but his actions were decisive.

in fact,

He had long harbored the intention to retire, but was unwilling to say so openly due to his position.

The group slowed their pace, maintaining their triangular formation and standing back-to-back in vigilance.

Everyone held their guns and kept a close watch on their surroundings, taking each step with extreme caution.

Judging from their composure in the face of danger, it is clear that they are indeed the elite troops that Liu Jiangdong has invested heavily in building.

Even when trapped in dire straits, they maintained basic discipline and vigilance.

"Damn it, what is that?"

"A shadow! I see a shadow, but it's moving too fast; I can't see its trajectory!"

"Why is the door that was just blown open back into darkness? Where's the light?"

"This is bizarre! Absolutely bizarre—!"

Anxious shouts rose and fell, and the tightly knit military formation began to crumble.

Some people were trembling all over, some had unfocused eyes, and fear once again enveloped the entire scene.

Liu Jiangdong's face was ashen, and he growled through gritted teeth:

"Damn it, you dare to play tricks on me? I'll tear you to pieces when I catch you!"

Before the words were even finished, wailing—!

A chilling howl sounded again.

A dark shadow flashed past overhead, as fast as a ghost, instantly passing over the heads of the two elite soldiers.

"Help me! Help me—!"

The two soldiers let out piercing howls, filled with despair, their bodies convulsing violently.

Boom!

While everyone was in shock and confusion, Liu Jiangdong reacted quickly and immediately raised his gun and fired.

The bullet struck precisely where the shadowy figure had passed.

His marksmanship was professionally trained; although not as good as that of top elite soldiers, it was still sharp and accurate.

unfortunately,

The Soul Refining Banner's main soul has no physical form; it is the power of condensed divine soul.

Ordinary bullets without the power to enhance them cannot harm the main soul in the slightest; they can only miss.

The two soldiers were swept over by the main spirit and collapsed to the ground before they could struggle.

Their eyes were wide open, their faces filled with extreme fear.

The living soul was instantly devoured, leaving behind only a cold corpse.

Da da—da da—!

The other soldiers woke up and started firing wildly in the direction the dark figure had appeared.

A hail of bullets rained down, the gunfire deafening, the walls riddled with holes, and debris flying everywhere.

They tried to mask their fear with the barrage of gunfire, frantically pulling the trigger.

this moment,

Everyone wanted to empty their magazines and smash that eerie black shadow.

But after one round of shooting.

Magazine empty!

Only then did they realize that they had not posed any threat to the shadow in the sky at all, and all they could hear were their companions' mournful screams.

"Don't shoot, it's me!"

"Ah! Please, please let me go, I want to go home!"

"My leg! My leg is broken—! Help!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the hall, chilling to the bone, mixed with desperate pleas, sending shivers down one's spine.

In the chaos, the soldiers misjudged their target!

Many were hit by bullets from their own men and lay struggling in pools of blood.

quickly,

The screams gradually subsided, and the surroundings grew increasingly quiet, a deathly stillness that was suffocating.

When a sliver of light returned to the hall, everyone was shocked to find more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly at the bottom of the second-floor staircase.

One can imagine the despair and resentment in the hearts of those soldiers who were accidentally killed by their comrades.

They did not die at the hands of the enemy, but fell to the guns of their comrades.

now,

The hall remained gloomy, with a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

The shadowy figure in the darkness seemed poised to reappear at any moment and devour everyone.

Several Wa State Allied Army soldiers, seeing the corpses of their comrades scattered on the ground, suffered a complete mental breakdown.

They could no longer bear the fear and lost their minds.

"I want to leave! I can't take it anymore, I have to leave—!"

A soldier suddenly ripped off his military cap and threw it on the ground.

Ignoring military regulations and warnings, he charged like a madman toward the blown-open gate, carrying an assault rifle.

But he hadn't even rushed out the door half a step.

Whoosh-!

A sharp red light flashed, and a blood-red blade slashed through the darkness, precisely grazing his neck, so fast that its trajectory was invisible.

Gurgle—!

The head rolled off with a thud, tumbling over the ground for more than ten meters before coming to rest right at the front gate.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the door, filled with a desperate desire to escape, but he could no longer utter a sound.

The headless body fell straight to the ground!

Warm, fresh blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground at the doorway red, and the pungent smell of blood grew even stronger.
