The sky was dim, and a light rain began to fall over the Southern Xiongnu Empire Capital. The citizens of the royal city hurriedly rushed home, unaware that within the seemingly impenetrable palace, chaos was unfolding.
As Ye Huan opened the doors to no less than twenty prison cells in succession, many prisoners held in the Heavenly Prison rushed out. Among them was even one with the strength of a Ninth-Level Practitioner. They followed Zhang Ren, who was driving a Type 99 main battle tank, charging towards the prison doorway, engaging in battle with the experts from the palace who had arrived shortly after.
If it weren't for the overwhelming number of soldiers outside who had locked down the entire entrance to the Heavenly Prison, Zhang Ren and his companions would have surely escaped by now!
There was no time to pay attention to what was happening at the entrance. After releasing another prisoner, Ye Huan began to feel anxious.
An hour had already passed. Who knew where that old man had gone? If he were to return now, not only would he fail to rescue anyone, but Ye Huan's own life might also be in jeopardy!
'No, this can't continue!'
Thinking this over, Ye Huan quickly made a decision. Grabbing his M4A1 assault rifle, he rushed towards the remaining cells, determined to break open their locks regardless of who was inside.
In a short while, most of the prisoners had been freed and instinctively formed a new force rushing towards the exit, eager to escape this dark place. However, as Ye Huan looked at the few remaining cells on the Palace Terrain Map, he still couldn't find Liu Ruyan and her companions. A bead of sweat formed on his forehead.
After opening a few more cells and releasing their occupants, Ye Huan gradually realized something was off. Since news of his intent to rescue his family had spread throughout the Southern Xiongnu Empire, how could the Sovereign possibly keep anyone locked up in the Heavenly Prison waiting for him to come?
"Damn it, if I had known, I would have charged out directly."
Cursing under his breath, Ye Huan's actions did not cease. In the blink of an eye, he destroyed two more cell doors, clearly planning to use these prisoners to create chaos and make his escape from the Heavenly Prison while searching for his family amidst the confusion.
Seeing that there were still dozens of cells left, at the end of one corridor appeared a group of soldiers clad in Southern Xiongnu Imperial Standard Armor. The leader seemed to be a martial artist of considerable rank...
In the Heavenly Prison of the Southern Xiongnu Empire, there were indeed guards present. Besides a group stationed at the entrance, there were about a hundred Regular Soldiers and several Seventh Level Warriors inside the Heavenly Prison. However, under normal circumstances, they were all busy playing Pai Gow in the innermost part of the prison.
No one had ever imagined that someone would dare to wreak havoc inside the Heavenly Prison within the palace. It wasn't until Ye Huan was nearing the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison that they discovered his presence, and in a hurry, they attempted to capture him.
Having suspected that there would be soldiers stationed in the Heavenly Prison, Ye Huan was not surprised by their arrival. Calmly, he raised his M4A1 assault rifle and aimed the 40mm single-shot Grenade Launcher beneath it at the approaching guards. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger…
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed through the air as a grenade shot out from the 40mm single-shot Grenade Launcher, leaving a trail of smoke behind. The strong gust of wind generated by its flight extinguished all the lit candles on the walls, and it crashed into the first Seventh Level Warrior.
Rumbling…
The sound of collapsing walls from the explosion reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly Prison. The first Seventh Level Warrior was blown away, and even those soldiers behind him were blocked by the fallen debris.
Without further delay, after quickly opening all remaining cell doors, Ye Huan dashed toward the main entrance of the Heavenly Prison, soon arriving near its entrance.
After observing carefully for a moment, Ye Huan noticed that the tank driven by Zhang Ren was parked beside the corridor of the Heavenly Prison. This struck him as somewhat odd, but with prisoners and palace experts engaged in chaotic combat all around, he dared not approach too closely and could only cautiously move to the rear of the Type 99 main battle tank.
Once he reached the back of the Type 99 tank and realized no one was paying attention to him, Ye Huan quickly climbed onto it. He knocked on the tank's hatch and called out Zhang Ren's name. The hatch opened, and Ye Huan hurriedly squeezed inside, asking Zhang Ren: “Why are you parked here? What’s going on?”
“I want to rush out too,” said Zhang Ren, his face filled with despair. He stood up from his position at the sighting scope and gestured for Ye Huan to take a look.
Wiping away sweat from his forehead due to intense movement, Ye Huan didn’t hesitate to sit down at the sighting scope position and looked outside the prison cells…
Through the scope, he saw countless soldiers from the Southern Xiongnu Empire densely packed outside the cell doors—at least over a thousand of them—all holding large shields. Each shield measured about one and a half meters long and sixty centimeters wide. What amazed Ye Huan even more was that these shields were connected by clasps around their edges, forming an impenetrable wall!
So many soldiers, forming a bronze wall with their shields, it was no wonder that Zhang Ren had stopped here. If they really charged in, even something as tough as the Type 99 main battle tank could be halted.
“Zhang Ren, you drive, and I'll load the shells. Let’s break through!” Ye Huan said with a frown, deciding to use the turret of the Type 99 to clear a path.
Hearing Ye Huan's command, Zhang Ren quickly made his way to the driver's seat of the tank. Once seated, he seemed to remember something and turned to Ye Huan, asking, “Ye Huan, what about your family?”
Family? If Ye Huan had found his family, how could he not have brought them along?
Shaking his head in frustration, Ye Huan loaded a shell into the cannon and swiftly returned to the sight. He adjusted the turret's position and range until he could clearly see below the bronze wall through the scope. Then he moved beside the tank and pressed the launch button, shouting at Zhang Ren, “Charge!”
Boom!
A strong recoil hit them, causing the entire tank to seem to slide back a bit. Yet in that moment, Zhang Ren pulled the control lever and activated the Type 99 main battle tank.
In the distance, the shell fired from the Type 99 accurately struck the position Ye Huan had aimed for, blasting a massive hole in that so-called bronze wall and sending soldiers flying.
As if anticipating this situation, more soldiers from the Southern Xiongnu Empire who were unharmed quickly removed the damaged shields from the bronze wall and replaced them with new ones.
Just after they had reassembled the bronze wall, a loud rumble echoed as Ye Huan and Zhang Ren drove the Type 99 straight into it. The tank slammed heavily against the shield-formed bronze wall with a tremendous crash. The wall visibly recoiled under the impact, deforming where it met the cannon.
However, as they watched the shielded bronze wall retreat three meters back, more soldiers surged forward from behind it, stepping over those who had been crushed in the earlier impact to engage in a struggle against the Type 99 main battle tank.
It was true what they said: numbers equate to strength. These soldiers managed to push back another full meter despite suffering many casualties in the process, completely halting the advance of the Type 99 main battle tank.
“Is this really possible?”
Shocked, Ye Huan stood up abruptly, clearly seeing everything happening outside through the scope. He flipped open the 2012 Arms Compendium, quickly turning to page twenty. There it was, unmistakably another Grenade, the only difference from the Flashbang being the small print beside it: 'Incendiary Grenade'...
Summoning four or five incendiary grenades in quick succession, Ye Huan took advantage of the fact that many of the palace's experts had not yet arrived, and those who had were engaged in battle with the Prisoners. He opened the top cover and tossed the incendiary grenades out.
A series of crisp sounds rang out as the grenades landed on the Ground. After pulling the pin, the white phosphorus inside ignited rapidly, and even the light rain falling from the sky could not extinguish it. The flames spread quickly, engulfing many ordinary soldiers. In no time, the fire had expanded, turning the entrance of Heavenly Prison into a sea of flames.
As they attempted to reverse the tank a short distance, Ye Huan and Zhang Ren were just about to maneuver in another direction when a loud shout forced them to halt.
“Ninth Level Water Magic, Heavenly Water Descends!”
With that shout, a sky-blue ice 'dragon' quietly appeared in the air. Over ten meters long, it coiled in mid-air and slowly opened its mouth. Countless water arrows shot forth from its mouth as if a heavy rain had begun, extinguishing the flames entirely.
At this moment, Ye Huan and Zhang Ren exchanged glances, completely unaware that their tank had stalled.
‘Ninth-Level Mage…’
A vision of a mage flashed in Ye Huan's mind. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly moved to the tank's scope. Peering through it, he soon locked onto an elderly man standing at a distance. Like Huaxia Nation's Court Mage, this elder was also clad in a Crimson Robe and held a Crystal Staff. He looked coldly toward their position; it was clear that his strength was formidable—definitely a Ninth-Level Mage.
Just as Ye Huan was carefully observing this mage, the mage began to move again. His lips moved as he started chanting, evidently preparing for some large-scale magic.
Having seen every detail of the mage's actions, Ye Huan knew without question that he was targeting them. He couldn't help but shout loudly to Zhang Ren, “Zhang Ren, we need to get out of here fast!”
