“How about… we skip this battle? Mao Mountain is enough! We don’t have to go and be their burden!”
“Yes, yes! We’re peaceful people! Mao Mountain will take care of it. It’s none of our business!” The elderly heavenly masters said.
“No! General Bai said that if we don’t send two hundred people, he will order a missile strike and raze Dragon Tiger Mountain to the ground! Also, Spiritual Master Tang said that if we don’t go, we can’t stay in Huaxia anymore!”
“Then… let’s go!”
The elderly heavenly masters said reluctantly.
The other heavenly masters either pretended to be sick or ran away. It took them a lot of effort to gather the required crowd.
All of them looked sick and listless.
When the news reached the cultivation families, they all had different reactions. Eventually, they gathered enough people and went to South Beach.
Tang Hao also boarded the plane and flew to South Beach.
When he got off the plane at the airport, he saw a military vehicle waiting outside. After boarding the vehicle, he was directly taken to a naval base.
After getting off the vehicle, Tang Hao met General Bai and many people from the Agency.
His eyes instantly fell on a beautiful figure.
She was wearing a military uniform and looked valiant. That was none other than Mu Xintong.
She looked over as well. Her indifferent gaze sparkled.
Try as she might, she could not calm down.
After all, the two of them had shared intimate contact.
Tang Hao smiled at her.
Her pretty face stiffened, and she averted her gaze.
Tang Hao instantly felt awkward. He went to greet General Bai and the others. After that, he was invited into the battle command center, where they discussed the battle plan.
Not long after, the Taoist masters, the heavenly masters, and the cultivation families arrived in batches.
Almost all of Huaxia’s cultivation world was gathered!
Chapter 714 - Sensational News
The news shook the entire Nanyang cultivation world.
The Huaxia cultivation world had declared war on them!
Moreover, it was a battle to the death! They would not stop until either side was wiped out!
For a time, many of the Nanyang shamans panicked.
Before this, they would not be afraid of Huaxia at all. In fact, they even looked down on Huaxia. However, Huaxia was no longer the same as before.
The existence of the Dragon made everyone extremely fearful.
However, most of the shamans were filled with indignation.
They had a grudge against Huaxia to begin with. In the past two years, many shamans had lost their lives in China. Earlier, Grandmaster Toto and a hundred of his men were killed by Mao Mountain.
Because of that matter, they had many arguments with Mao Mountain.
After that, Operation Witch Hunter had killed many of their people.
It was that hatred that drove them to hunt down the people from the Agency.
To them, the Huaxianese cultivators were terrifying on their home turf. However, if any of them dared to step into Nanyang, the shamans would kill them. Even if the Dragon came, they would have a way to deal with him.
The Nanyang cultivation world also had their masters from the previous generation!
Now that Huaxia had declared war on them and wanted to destroy the Nanyang cultivation world, they would not take it lying down.
“The Huaxianese have gone overboard! How can we allow them to destroy us?”
“We have to unite and resist until the end. Show Huaxia how powerful we are!”
The entire Nanyang cultivation world was in an uproar.
United against a common enemy, they vowed to fight until the bitter end.
All over the Nanyang, figures in black suits, felt hats, and black suitcases appeared. They took boats from all directions, converging on an island somewhere in Nanyang.
That was Grandmaster Mulla’s territory, the most sacred location in the Nanyang cultivation world.
On the island, the people built forts, set up machine gun turrets, and laid mines, turning the island into a military fortress.
The shamans landed on the island and prepared for war.
Spine-chilling howls could be heard on the island every day and night. It was already a somber scene even before the battle.
The news spread across the entire world. Many people were shocked.
It had only been a month and a half since the last sensational event in Huaxia. They were still catching their breath when news broke out again.
From that moment on, everyone’s gazes turned to Nanyang.
Huaxia against Nanyang!
The clash between the two cultivation worlds would definitely be an earth-shaking battle!
Although Huaxia was big, Nanyang was not a pushover. Their most powerful figures were definitely alive and slumbering somewhere in Nanyang.
They talked about who would win and who would lose.
Meanwhile, in the naval base in South Beach, everyone was nervously preparing for battle.
Meetings were held over and over again.
“All the cultivators of Nanyang have gathered on this island. There are about five hundred of them. It is said that those old fellows from the previous generation have been found and awakened.
“Around the island, the navies of the various countries in Nanyang have also gathered…
“This time, we are crossing beyond the borders of Huaxia. Once we cross the border, we will not have the support of the military. Moreover, we can not admit our identity.
“Our opponents this time are not only the Nanyang shamans but also the navies of various countries.
“If we encounter them, there is no need for formalities. Engage them and fight!
“This time, we will select five hundred cultivators and board modified fishing vessels…
During the battle meeting, Tang Hao was busy making jade talismans, especially those that could help the wielder travel underwater. He also made many other types of jade talismans to enhance the fishing vessels.
That morning, the order to assemble was given.
“Kill the Nanyang whelps!”
The Taoist masters rushed out of the dormitory. They were all dressed like fishermen, but they carried peach wood swords on their backs and yellow cloth bags on their waists.
The bags were full of talismans, both yellow paper and jade.
Their fighting spirit was high, and they were extremely excited.
Behind them was Dragon Tiger Mountain. Each of the heavenly masters was carrying a black briefcase, and they looked listless as if they were forced to go.
After that, there were people from the various cultivation families.
After they had gathered and did a roll call, General Bai went up to give a speech, and they began to board the fishing vessels.
“I wish you all a triumphant return!”
The fishing vessels started to move. The people from the Agency stood by the shore and saluted in unison.
Tang Hao stood at the bow of the boat.
His blood was boiling with patriotism.
He stood still and returned the salute.
There were a total of ten large fishing vessels. They slowly departed from the port.
After leaving the port, the fishing boat accelerated and sailed into the vast ocean.
…
Night fell.
A few coast guard boats were patrolling in a certain area of Nanyang.
The coast guards’ eyes would occasionally sweep across the ocean. They were on high alert.
However, there was no movement at all, and nothing was happening on the radar.
Gradually, they started to relax.
Many people took out their cigarettes, lit them up, and started smoking.
“Hah! That must be fake news, right? How dare the Huaxianese brazenly cross the bo
rder? This is too ridiculous!”
“Who knows! It’s an order from above, so we’re just following orders!”
“Right, what’s going on? Why do I feel like the atmosphere is a bit off lately?”
“I’m not too sure either, but something major is about to happen. Haven’t you heard? The navies of all countries are acting strangely!”
They discussed as they smoked.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the cockpit.
“There’s an unknown target incoming! Oh my god! It’s too fast! What is it?”
The people on the deck were shocked. They lifted their heads and looked forward.
When they looked closely, they were stunned.
Large boats were rushing over on the surface of the sea. They were traveling at an unbelievably fast speed.
They were clearly fishing vessels!
How could they move so quickly? That was a joke!
They eventually came to their senses. They shouted to alert the others, raised their guns, and fired in that direction.
Ratatat!
The sound of gunshots cut through the night sky.
“Stop! Stop!”
They shouted sternly over the loudspeakers.
However, it did not have any effect at all. Instead, the fishing vessels moved even faster.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the bow of the ship in front of them. He raised his hand gently in their direction.
The coast guards were stunned. Who was that?
They sneered mockingly. How dare that person stand on the bow unguarded? He must have a death wish!
“Fire!”
They raised their guns and fired again.
However, at this moment, that person pushed out his palm gently. The surface of the sea suddenly exploded, setting off huge waves that crashed down on them.
“F*ck!”
They were dumbstruck, and their faces turned extremely pale.
Boom!
The huge waves came crashing down, capsizing the ships.
“Full speed ahead!”
At the bow of the ship, Tang Hao withdrew his hand and shouted coldly.
The speed of the fishing vessel under his feet increased sharply, and it sped away like lightning.
Chapter 715 - First Wave of Attack
“They’re here! The Huaxianese are here!”
Somewhere in Nanyang, a battle command center burst into activity.
The spacious command center was filled with people in all sorts of military uniforms.
Military officers from several countries had gathered at the joint command center for the battle.
“Hmph! The Huaxianese have the guts to come! Do they think that Nanyang is a pushover?” A general thumped the table and stood up angrily.
The existence of cultivators was essential to every country and region, but now, Huaxia wanted to destroy their cultivation world. They could not bear to see that happen.
“Attack! All fighter jets, scramble! Blow them up to bits! I want this to be a one-way trip for them!
“All warships, gather and intercept!
“Destroy them at all costs!”
He punched the table and roared.
Soon, the warships set off one by one.
On each warship were a few figures in black clothes and felt hats.
In the air bases, the pilots also received the order to scramble. They filed out and rushed to the jets.
At the same time, the various military bases sounded the alarm of an enemy attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky lit up with flames.
The Nanyang shamans stationed at the base engaged in a fierce battle with the attackers.
However, the opponents were too strong, throwing talismans as though they were free. After the first wave of bombardment, most of the Nanyang shamans at the base were dead.
Following that, the attackers rushed toward the runway and launched another wave of bombardment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The runway was instantly filled with potholes, and no aircraft could take off or land there.
All of this happened very quickly. Before the pilots could react, the runway was gone.
“Haha! No one uses those old-fashioned aircraft anymore!”
Before the attackers left, they did not forget to mock the pilots, which made them very angry.
‘Dammit! It’s one thing for you to destroy my runway, but do you have to mock my aircraft? How despicable!’
They gritted their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
The same situation happened in the other air bases. None of the aircraft in Nanyang could take off.
When the news reached the command center, everyone was dumbfounded.
‘How could this be?’ They were all in disbelief.
They had considered the possibility that the opponent would attack the air bases. After all, fighter jets were the biggest deterrent for cultivators. For that reason, they had stationed shamans at every air base.
Moreover, they had increased the defense of every air base.
Even if the Huaxianese cultivators attacked some of the air bases, there should have been more air bases from which the aircraft could take off.
However, all the runways were destroyed, and not a single jet could fly!
How was that possible?
All the generals’ expressions became extremely unsightly. If the jets could not fly, it was like losing an arm in a fight.
“F*ck those Huaxianese people!”
They cursed angrily, feeling extremely vexed.
“Don’t worry. We still have many warships. We can definitely kill them!”
They tried to comfort themselves.
The news caused a commotion when it reached the fleet of warships.
The original plan was to bombard the attackers with fierce firepower from both the air and the sea. However, they did not expect that their air force would be crippled so early in the battle.
“Load up the ammunition. Once we find the enemy, immediately open fire!”
The warships started to get busy. Everyone got to their positions.
All the warships gathered together, lined up in a row, and moved forward.
Suddenly, the radar detected something.
“They’re coming! They’re coming!”
“Open fire immediately!”
In the next moment, missiles shot up into the sky with trails of thick smoke and flames.
A dozen warships fired a volley of missiles at the same time. It was an awe-inspiring scene.
On the fishing vessel, Tang Hao stood at the bow and shouted, “Throw!”
In an instant, countless rays of light shot up into the sky from behind him. They were jade talismans.
The jade talismans interweaved into a dense net. The missiles immediately exploded when they struck the jade talismans. None of them could get through.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The night sky was once again illuminated by flames.
The Nanyang side cheered. They thought that they had hit the target. However, when they looked again, they saw that the fishing vessels were unscathed and continued to rush over.
The vessels were moving so fast, as though they had booster rockets.
‘What the hell?’ The Nanyang side wanted to curse.
‘Are the boats rocket-powered?
‘How could the missiles fail to destroy those shabby little boats?’
“Fire!” The captains roared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another volley of missiles rose into the sky.
“Throw!”
Tang Hao shouted again, and another wave of jade talismans was thrown, once again blocking the volley of missiles.
The Nanyangese were starting to be terrified.
‘Two volleys of missiles have no effect on them? Are those Huaxianese monsters?’
“Fire! Fire!”
They started to panic when they saw that the fishing
vessels were getting closer and closer. They would be no match for the cultivators once they got close!
However, before they could fire the next volley of missiles, their opponents arrived.
From the fishing vessels, figures flew out and landed on the warships.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!” “Ahh!”
In a single exchange, many Nanyang soldiers fell.
The shamans were also killed in an instant.
“We won’t kill you if you surrender!”
The attackers roared and rushed into the cockpit. They were dressed like fishermen, but they carried an imposing presence.
Many soldiers tried to fight back, but they were all killed.
Soon, no one dared to resist anymore.
“Don’t… Don’t kill me! I surrender!”
They raised their hands and surrendered.
In just a few minutes, all the warships had fallen.
“Hey, hey! How’s the situation? Quickly report!”
Everyone in the command center was anxious.
Just now, the warships had encountered the Huaxianese, and an intense battle had broken out. After that, they lost contact, and none of the warships responded.
They had a bad premonition, but they could not believe it.
That was a dozen warships! Moreover, there were shamans stationed there. How could they be wiped out in a matter of minutes?
“We’re getting a reply!” Suddenly, one of the military liaisons exclaimed.
“Quick! Put them on the line!” The generals anxiously shouted.
“Hello!”
A male voice could be heard speaking casually from the other end.
Everyone was stunned. Who was he?
He was speaking in the Nanyang language, but he clearly had a foreign accent.
Immediately after that, they were all shocked.
He was Huaxianese!
Those warships were really taken over!
“Oh my god! How could that be?”
The people in the command center tore their hair and cried out.
“Huaxianese! This is an act of war!” The commander roared.
“What? Huaxianese? Where? We’re not Huaxianese!” Tang Hao said.
Then, he turned to ask the Taoist masters around him. “Are you Huaxianese?”
“No! No! No! We are not Huaxianese!”
The Taoist masters shook their heads and spoke in all kinds of languages — English, Hindi, German, even the languages of the African tribes.
