People cherish their lives, and Zhang Ren was no exception. The reason he had been following Ye Huan for so long, even accompanying him to explore Northern Liang City, was because he recognized Ye Huan's potential and considered his own future. However, if he were to die just like that, it would be too unfair. In a moment of desperation, his voice rose several octaves.
Fortunately, this was what startled Ye Huan awake. His strength came entirely from the Summoning Book. Instead of wasting time thinking of ideas in his mind, it was better to see what could be used from the Summoning Book.
He quickly summoned the 2012 Arms Compendium and flipped to pages thirteen and fourteen, as those were the only pages containing items he had never used before.
On page thirteen of the 2012 Arms Compendium, a shotgun was depicted clearly, with a small note beside it stating "Remington M870 Shotgun."
Thinking that this item might not be very useful at the moment, Ye Huan flipped to the next page. However, when he saw the Riot Shield on page fourteen, he shook his head in frustration and flipped back quickly to page twelve.
Fixating on the C4 plastic explosives illustrated on page twelve, a plan suddenly formed in Ye Huan's mind. He thought to himself, Gong Weiqi likes to use tricks; why can't I use one this time?
After considering the feasibility of this plan, Ye Huan made up his mind and immediately began to act. He summoned several C4 explosives and secured them at his waist. Then he summoned the Riot Shield and laboriously tossed it to Zhang Ren while saying, "Zhang Ren, let's go. Carry this thing and take me to the entrance of the lord's mansion..."
With that, Ye Huan dashed out of the courtyard. Seeing this, Zhang Ren hurriedly held the Riot Shield over his head and chased after him, leaving Weiyang behind to hide for now.
Under Zhang Ren's cover, with the Riot Shield occasionally taking hits from Fire Stones overhead, Ye Huan and Zhang Ren quickly reached the inner side of the lord's mansion entrance. They made a small hole in the wall, and Ye Huan set a one-hour timer on the C4 explosives before sticking them into the hole.
Fearing that fire might ignite the C4 and cause an explosion, Ye Huan shamelessly pulled out his small dagger and urinated around where he placed the C4 to block any not-so-strong flames. After all, when the lord's mansion was built, precautions were taken against fire attacks by enemies; thus, isolation zones were specifically set up. Who would have thought that this time it would benefit Ye Huan and his companions?
Following this method, Ye Huan placed C4 explosives in trees, corridors, and flowerpots—anywhere where flames would struggle to catch fire—before returning with Zhang Ren to sit down exhausted in the courtyard of the lord's mansion.
Meanwhile, Weiyang was curious and couldn't help but ask them both, "What were you two doing?"
"It's a secret. Just stay here; don't go anywhere else. Just wait for the show!" Ye Huan replied without caring about the small fire still burning in the courtyard. He leaned back against the wall and even closed his eyes for a short nap.
Noticing Ye Huan's confidence and that what they had done outside was still a 'secret,' Weiyang's curiosity was piqued even more. She turned to Zhang Ren as if waiting for him to explain.
Noticing Weiyang's curious expression, Zhang Ren wanted to reveal the secret, but since he didn't know what it was, he could only give a vague explanation. Mimicking Ye Huan, he curled up in the corner and stopped paying attention to Weiyang.
This lack of explanation only fueled Weiyang's curiosity further. He was itching to go out and see for himself, but as soon as he thought about Ye Huan's deadly weapons, he hesitated and pulled his leg back, scratching his head anxiously.
As time passed, thick black smoke began to envelop the Lord's Mansion from the burning vegetation. Outside, Gong Weiqi, having faced no resistance from Ye Huan and the others, decided it was time to send a small squad of soldiers into the mansion.
However, since less than an hour had passed, there was no way for the C4 to have exploded yet. After the squad of soldiers wandered around inside the mansion and then exited, Gong Weiqi finally felt relieved. He waved his hand and dispatched several hundred martial artists along with two thousand soldiers to enter through both main gates of the mansion, intending to thoroughly search for Ye Huan and capture him and his companions.
While the plan was good in theory, once these soldiers entered the mansion and gradually approached the central courtyard, Ye Huan, who had been taking a short nap, noticed their arrival. A smile crept onto his face as he summoned three M60 machine guns and handed one each to Weiyang and Zhang Ren. Leaning against the wall, they began a new round of gunfire that prevented the soldiers from getting anywhere near the courtyard. However, when it came to throwing M67 fragmentation grenades, Ye Huan dared not do so for fear of accidentally triggering the C4 too soon.
On the other hand, when it came to flashbangs, Ye Huan had no qualms about tossing them around like they were free. Often before one would even light up, another would explode in a dazzling flash that forced the martial artists to shut their eyes, buying valuable time for Ye Huan and his companions.
Five minutes later, with no fewer than two hundred bodies lying at the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Huan and his group found themselves in an increasingly difficult situation. Countless martial artists and soldiers had scaled the surrounding walls of the courtyard, forcing Ye Huan and his companions into a tight circle where even flashbangs were thrown at their feet.
After throwing who knows how many flashbangs, finally, the one-hour timer set for the C4 reached its end!
Boom!
The continuous sound of explosions echoed through the air. Both Ye Huan and the soldiers remaining in the courtyard shuddered as a shockwave forced them all to take a step back. Even the ground of the Lord's Mansion trembled slightly; a section of the courtyard wall was completely blown apart. Looking through this destroyed section of wall revealed that outside there was no longer any trace of a complete building—only ruins remained! Bodies were strewn everywhere; some were even flung against the courtyard walls, hanging grotesquely as blood dripped down in bright red streams. In many places where C4 had been placed, deep craters over a meter wide had formed.
Seeing this scene outside, Ye Huan couldn't help but elbow Zhang Ren, whispering nervously, "How many blocks of C4 did I just set off?"
"Is that what it's called? Not too many—maybe just a few dozen!"
Having learned another weapon's name, Zhang Ren replied while still focused on those professionals in the courtyard, completely unaware that his words nearly sent Ye Huan into shock.
When placing the C4 earlier, Ye Huan had been so focused on not missing any corners that he hadn't realized he had set dozens of blocks within such a short time. The power of it all was staggering...
Meanwhile, fifty meters away from the Lord's Mansion, Gong Weiqi couldn't remember how many times he had widened his eyes in disbelief. After hearing that explosion, even he felt the shockwave from such a distance. It was easy to imagine what fate had befallen those soldiers he had sent in; while two thousand soldiers were manageable—only about one-tenth of Northern Liang City's forces—the martial artists represented nearly all of Northern Liang City's elite! Even members of the Break Emperor Squad were among them!
If we consider the mages previously shot dead by Ye Huan and the other three with a Gatling gun, to put it bluntly, there is absolutely no chance for Northern Liang City to find a group of Professionals available for an offensive! The thought of this made Gong Weiqi's eyes widen in fury, and his handsome face was shrouded in dark clouds; his expression was one of pain that seemed worse than losing his parents.
After all, Gong Weiqi was a general stationed in Northern Liang City. With so many of his subordinates killed by Ye Huan, how could he explain this to the Lord of Northern Liang City? Moreover, he had sent the Break Emperor Squad to Sky Star City to assassinate Ye Huan. If this were to be investigated, Gong Weiqi truly did not know what excuse he could offer.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Blinded by rage, Gong Weiqi had already decided to personally enter the so-called "Lord's Mansion," which was no longer a proper lord's residence, to kill Ye Huan. However, as soon as he took a step forward, he recalled the explosion that had just occurred. Instantly, he calmed down and stood there, pondering strategies in his mind.
Soon, Gong Weiqi made a decision. Since so many had already died, losing a few more wouldn’t matter; it would be better to kill Ye Huan first, after all, that was his original goal.
He called over two subordinates nearby and was about to instruct them to send more soldiers to eliminate Ye Huan when suddenly the sound of an engine reached his ears. Shocked, he turned around and saw a military Hummer speeding toward him across the already cratered ground of the Lord's Mansion, with a long string of unknown objects trailing behind it.
Gong Weiqi widened his eyes. As he noticed that two objects about the size of grenades fell from the tail of the Military Hummer onto the ground, he felt something was off. Before he could even close his eyes, a dazzling white light erupted, instantly causing pain in his eyes.
Flashbangs! A whole long string of flashbangs!
This tactic had actually been conceived by Ye Huan while resting after setting up C4. Compared to M67 fragmentation grenades that required safety pins to be removed, flashbangs with just a ring design were clearly easier to activate. After the C4 exploded, Weiyang and Zhang Ren quickly dealt with everyone inside the Lord's Mansion while Ye Huan tore apart the upper half of his clothing into strips and summoned a large number of flashbangs—over a hundred in total.
Afterward, the three tied all the ring pulls from the flashbangs onto the strips and attached them to the Military Hummer summoned by Ye Huan. With Weiyang driving the military Hummer, they planned to escape from this area first.
With each flashbang dragging along the ground like firecrackers, two would inevitably detach from their rings and fall off, emitting blinding white light. At this point, Gong Weiqi was helpless; after all, he didn’t have anti-glare glasses and could barely keep his eyes open. How could he possibly find time to stop Ye Huan? As for those soldiers—there was no need to say more; once they closed their eyes, they never opened them again…
As they drew closer and closer, just as Ye Huan's military Hummer was about to crash into Gong Weiqi, suddenly a shadow flashed by—a figure appeared like a ghost right in front of the military Hummer! Behind the old man in black robes shone a golden character for "Palace," embroidered in gold thread that reflected dazzling sunlight…
