infodatos Chapter 48 Ambush
Chapter 48 Ambush
The area is crisscrossed by waterways and dotted with numerous islands.
The harbor that Sanada Ken'ei chose was a bay formed by a concave mountain near the water, covered with reeds, making it easy to hide people and horses.
The Zhang family's pleasure boat would turn right after passing through a waterway about 70 or 80 meters wide in front of the bay.
Across the river is a small island covered with trees.
At that time, Sumitomo Shingen, the junior Onmyoji adjutant, will ambush in the reeds along the riverbank, offering sacrifices and activating a fog that can cover an area of about 100 meters.
Liu Fulong led three fast boats and hid about 40 to 50 meters behind a bend in the river.
Two light machine guns and more than sixty guns from the Fulong Gang opened fire after the pleasure boat turned the bend.
At that time, the pleasure boat was shrouded in fog, and the members of the Fulong Gang could not be seen at all. It would be strange if they were not panicked in the face of a storm of bullets.
These were all used to mislead the enemy; the real killing move was Sanada Takehide himself.
He would hide behind the rocks on the small island across the river, waiting for the sound of machine gun fire before rushing onto the rocks and jumping onto the pleasure boat.
As long as there is no headwind, as a high-level swordsman who cultivates the secret techniques of the Eastern wind system, he can easily jump 30 to 50 meters with the help of the wind, and even 60 to 70 meters if there is a tailwind.
The sword energy it unleashes can reach about thirty meters.
Together, these two abilities allow him to attack enemies at a distance of 60 to 90 meters.
In other words, he could strike the men on the pleasure boat with his sword energy while he was halfway up the river.
In addition, he carried a piece of driftwood with him, which allowed him to use the river surface for leverage and jump another twenty meters.
Therefore, Sanada Ken'ei could easily jump onto the pleasure boat, and then he could kill all the people on board with just a few strokes.
The bullets fired by ordinary magic guns could not penetrate his dual protection of qi and magic weapon.
Moreover, once he activates his inner energy, it distorts the enemy's senses, making it difficult for them to aim at him.
He could unleash a blade of energy over the river in just one second, or leap onto the pleasure boat in about two seconds.
Once they get close, that young man, even if he's at the peak of the Spirit Realm, will die.
That guy is definitely not at the "Divine Will" level, otherwise none of the special cultural relics team would have survived yesterday.
In fact, Sanada Ken'ei felt that the "ruthless" person who was around twenty years old should not have even reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm.
One reason is that it is almost impossible for someone of such a young age to reach the later stages of spiritual development given the current concentration of spiritual energy in the world.
One reason is that even the most skilled experts in the later stages of the Lingji realm would not leave any survivors in the special cultural relics team.
"Ruthless" should be a spiritual cultivator in the early stages with special spiritual power, and possess top-notch magical artifacts.
In addition, Sanada Ken'ei brought two groups of 22 submachine gunners with him. These gunmen were responsible for protecting the Onmyoji adjutant Sumitomo Shingen, and could also support Liu Fulong and his men.
Even if "Ruthless" can wield magical weapons, those weapons will not be able to withstand the close-range barrage of twenty-two submachine guns.
As for monitoring the movements of the pleasure boats, that was a specialty of the Fulong Gang. They had many eyes and ears on the Five Lakes and a unique set of flag signals for transmitting information.
Sanada Ken'ei went through the battle plan in his mind and felt there were no problems, so he returned to his lair with Liu Fulong.
It was a little after 4 a.m. the next day.
Dong Guanfei entered the spatial cabin again to cultivate the secret techniques of the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon essences.
This time he only used three portions of the "Great Essence Divine Pill", so there was no need to use universal points to eliminate the pill poison.
The training ended about one hundred minutes later.
If he cultivates like this one more time, the two spiritual techniques will be within reach of igniting the second spiritual node.
He will light it up at the same time after the body's transformation is complete.
According to the "Secret Methods of the Beast Clan", when two secret methods with mutually reinforcing or mutually restraining attributes are practiced simultaneously, new secret method characteristics may be triggered when they break through at the same time.
At that time, the physical transformation can take place simultaneously.
He himself discovered that although both secret methods strengthened the body as a whole, they emphasized different parts of the body.
The Vermilion Bird Secret Technique focuses on strengthening the limbs, shoulders, and back, while the Azure Dragon Secret Technique focuses on strengthening the head, waist, and abdomen.
Therefore, his strength should improve significantly again in seven or eight days.
The only regret is that the growth rate of general points is not fast enough.
The frequency and number of general points that Qian Huibao and Zhang Wanxin can contribute are both decreasing.
The second time the system task was triggered was 24 hours after the first time, and the third time yesterday was 48 hours after the second time.
He estimated that the fourth time would be 72 or 96 hours after the third, which would be three or four days later.
Therefore, his immediate priority is to find more witches so as not to waste the time during the mission refresh period.
In addition, the new witch should also be able to give him talents or items.
Under normal circumstances, the Bund was a melting pot of all sorts of people, so there should have been a relatively large number of witches there.
Dong Guanfei's initial plan is to return to the Zhujiawan Police Station to investigate and settle scores with the enemies behind both of his spiritual techniques only after he has cultivated the fourth or even fifth spiritual nodes in both of them.
At that time, he will once again possess two or three spiritual secret techniques, reaching the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. His spiritual power will be equivalent to that of others at the late stage of the Spiritual Realm, enabling him to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale to unleash water and fire secret techniques.
The Demon Spear is merely an external path; secret techniques and realms are the true essence.
Moreover, the power of the Demon Spear has its limits, and it is difficult to threaten experts above the "True Intent" or "Divine Intent" levels.
Therefore, the magic spear was merely his primary means of combat before he truly matured.
Before that, those lackeys can be dealt with, such as good brothers Zhang Fugui, Yanmen, Quemen, and Jinqianbang.
After thinking it over, Dong Guanfei went downstairs to have breakfast.
Around 8 a.m., the group boarded the "Fairy" and sailed out of the pier as planned.
In addition to the sailors, there were thirty-six guards on board, under the command of Qian Tianming, who was in the late stage of True Strength.
Soon after, a telegram was sent from Xianhu Town to Liu Fulong's home.
Sanada Takehide was very pleased after reading the telegram.
Lieutenant Sumitomo Shingen was also in a good mood. "Captain, the weather is perfect today. There's a thick fog over the Five Lakes. The fog will easily cover an area of one or two hundred meters."
Sanada Takehide nodded.
Foggy weather can make the fog even more concealed, making it difficult to guard against.
"Master Liu, when do you think they'll arrive?"
"Normally it only takes about two and a half hours, so it would be best if we went to set up the ambush an hour later."
"good!"
......
At this moment, Dong Guanfei stood at the bow of the boat, admiring the misty lake and mountain scenery.
This waterway is extremely busy, with passenger and cargo ships coming and going in a constant stream.
Cargo ships are typically loaded with grain, cloth, silk, and tea.
Passenger ships include sailboats and pleasure boats, with passenger capacities ranging from a dozen to thirty or forty people.
Nearly twenty pleasure boats were moored at the Xianhu Town Wharf.
The private pleasure boats of wealthy merchants all had kitchens where dishes were prepared on board, and the cabin lounges offered entertainment such as mahjong, music, opera, and banquets.
The "Fairy" has a first cabin, a middle cabin, and a suite, offering all kinds of entertainment.
Next, Dong Guanfei had a set of solid wood tables and chairs placed at the bow of the ship. Four revolvers and two rifles were placed on two of the chairs. Then he sat down and drank tea.
