Chapter 204-1: Assault

Yang Chen’s words were like throwing oil into a dying fire, it immediately made Abbess Yun Miao’s unsettled fury to reignite!

“Looks like you will not learn your lesson until you see your imminent death!” Abbess Yun Miao clenched her teeth, and once again broad out her long sword. She was about to pounce at Yang Chen.

But before Abbess Yun Miao could make her move, Hui Lin Who was behind her tugged on her robe, and softly said, “Master, don’t be like this. Let’s just ignore him for now and focus on finishing the mission first.”

Abbess Yun Miao’s fire was extinguished in an instant. She relaxed and sheathed her sword, then smiled towards Hui Lin, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let’s move to the other tents to stay away from this stinking man.”

“Okay.” Hui Lin obediently stood up and walked towards the exit with Abbess Yun Miao while holding her elbow.

When they were about to exit, Hui Lin covertly turned her head around and stuck her tongue out at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen was prepared for another round of fleeing all over, but he didn’t expect that one sentence from the young nun was more effective than a million tonnes of ice at extinguishing the old nun’s anger. This made him smile bitterly.

After the nuns left the tent, Leaf who was just in the tent a while ago once again returned. Seeing Yang Chen depressed, she smiled and said, “Big Brother Yang, don’t look down on Miss Hui Lin. She’s the disciple Abbess Yun Miao cares the most about, and at such a young age, she has already mastered eighty percent of Abbess Yun Miao’s swordplay. She’s considered a future pillar of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, even Big Brother Sky Dragon doesn’t dare underestimate Miss Hui Lin.”

“No wonder she dotes on her so much, and even brought her along in a situation like this.” Yang Chen nodded in understanding. He originally wondered whether this young nun would be a burden, but he was now made aware that she was actually pretty strong.

Leaf giggled and said, “Miss Hui Lin became the disciple of Abbess Yun Miao when she was very young. She never leaves Abbess Yun Miao’s side, and spends most of her time cultivating in Shushan. She only began exploring the secular world two years ago, Abbess Yun Miao is very worried that she’ll get bullied, which is why she’s being watched so closely. Big Brother Yang, if you are really interested, you’ll have to pass the obstacle named Abbess Yun Miao.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen felt rather vexed. He knew that the old nun wasn’t easy to get along with, but once he thought about it he realized that something was wrong, since when did he say that he wanted to pick up that young nun!?

“Hey umm, Leaf, you seem to misunderstand something. Does your Big Brother Yang, I look like the kind of playboy who falls for every pretty girl that passes by? I just wanted to show more care towards her because that young lady appears so tender like a pure-white tofu, and is also cute and innocent. I don’t have such vile thoughts.” Yang Chen righteously said.

“Really?” Leaf’s disbelief was written all over her face.

Yang Chen was greatly angered. Do you mean it’s possible that it isn’t real!? Adding all my lovers up, I don’t even have ten of them!

*Smack!*

Yang Chen’s large palm smacked onto Leaf’s well-developed buttock, it had an exquisite texture.

“Oww!” Leaf shyly dodged to a side, “Why did you hit me, Big Brother Yang!?”

“Well it’s your own fault for being disobedient. You first lied to me, and you now doubt my noble and pure character!?” Yang Chen handed over the empty cup to Leaf, and left the army tent with big strides.

Leaf stood in there in a daze. A while later, a smile of joy surfaced on her lips. Getting hit by Yang Chen had actually made her relieved, for this meant that Yang Chen did not hold a grudge against her.

When dawn came, it was finally crunch time for those in the canyon.

The targets, High Lama Dan Zeng and the four others remained in the Coiling Dragon Temple without any movement. It almost seemed as if they didn’t plan to leave.

The combat plan for the morning accepted no delays. Everyone finished their preparations, and the tents were shifted to the canyon’s entrance, along with all equipment.

Under Broken Blade’s command, Cannon led the soldiers chosen from the borders who were fully armed, and began heading downwards to the ancient Coiling Dragon Temple.

Night Wolf had already taken up a prone position on the top of the canyon. From there, he had a full view of Coiling Dragon Temple’s surroundings, and was able to confirm that there were no anomalies.

At the entrance of the canyon, the other soldiers from the border army had already created a blockade. Abbess Yun Miao led Nun Hui Lin, along with Tsunami and Leaf who were in charge of coordinating and communications. They were all situated at the newly erected tent, and had all kinds of instruments and monitors.

Due to the terrain, armored vehicles couldn’t arrive in time. There was a helicopter for them to use, but it didn’t have much use in a battle like this as it was weak against attacks. Therefore, sending soldiers into battle became extremely important in this situation.

Yang Chen was in the tent as well. From the monitors, he watched as Cannon led a team to surround the Coiling Dragon Temple.

Cannon threw several smoke grenades, creating smoke of various colors to fill the screen.

Intense shooting sounds echoed in the canyon. Cannon who wielded a heavy machine gun and a big bag of ammunition swept the area to make sure that High Lama Dan Zeng and the others didn’t lay any traps.

Chapter 204-2: Assault

“Headquarters, surroundings are safe, over!”

Tsunami received Cannon’s message, then radioed Broken Blade who led the rest of the assault team, “Broken Blade, there are no traps in the surrounding, over!”

“Roger.” Broken Blade signaled the others with his eyes, then with a wave of his hand, he, Squall, Bigfoot and Sky Dragon charged towards the back of the temple.

They didn’t wear camouflage uniforms or carry high-tech equipment or machine guns like Cannon. They just wore tight and lightweight combat clothes.

They weren’t like Yang Chen who could ignore hails of bullets, but as the best of the best, ordinary guns were useless against them. This is because when a bullet is fired, the amount of time it takes for the bullet to fly to them was enough for them to evade it. In a small scale fight, firearms were a far cry from close combat weapons in terms of effectiveness.

The entire Coiling Dragon Temple was surrounded in smoke, while Cannon commanded the soldiers to continuously fire at the surroundings to seal off the area.

When Broken Blade led Sky Dragon and the others entered the temple, Cannon had the soldiers withdraw further away from the Coiling Dragon Temple and monitored the situation.

“They are turtling inside, be careful of traps.” Said Cannon while charging into the temple’s main entrance.

Broken Blade waved his hand, and the others stuck closely behind him.

In the tent at the canyon’s entrance, Leaf took off her earphones as she couldn’t see what happened in the temple. She asked Tsunami, “Is there still no news regarding Blue Storm?”

“Nope, there have been no news from headquarters at all. Previously, Captain Broken Blade was contacting with headquarters directly. If there’s any news, Captain Broken Blade would know first.”

“Could it be that Blue Storm’s people decided not to come because it’s too dangerous?” Leaf asked with a frown.

Tsunami had no answer, so he shook his head to express that he didn’t know.

By the entrance of the tent, Yang Chen kept trying to light up his cigarette, but due to the high altitude they were on, the lighter had difficulty lighting up. It took him a good while to light up his cigarette.

He blew a breath of smoke with pleasure, then sighed and said, “In my opinion, there’s no point keeping watch here. How about we go into the temple and take a look instead?”

“No can do, we can only control the situation on the outside by staying here. In the event that Blue Storm comes, we absolutely have to stop them from joining up with High Lama Dan Zeng and the others right here.” Tsunami said with a straight face.

Yang Chen sneered, “Is that something you can control? If Blue Storm wants to break in, they’d either come in by airdrop or an armed helicopter, can you stop them?”

“Stopping them is your mission, Sir Pluto!” Tsunami stubbornly replied.

Yang Chen tapped away the cigarette ash, “My mission? Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. But don’t you guys find it weird that High Lama Dan Zeng chose to stay in that Coiling Dragon Temple instead of escaping during the night?”

“They were frightened by us and didn’t dare to make reckless moves. Their only choice was to wait for reinforcement.” Abbess Yun Miao suddenly said.

“Those are just conjectures you guys arrived at.” Yang Chen helplessly smiled, “The only reason why you guys don’t dare to use powerful arms is because the Vairocana Dharma Body is more valuable than their lives and mustn’t receive any damage. They definitely know this as well. If I were them, being in a situation where I’m this close to the border, I’d rather make use of the protection the Vairocana Dharma Body offers and rush towards the border at night instead. Even if you guys could intercept them, you still wouldn’t wantonly make a move. This would be much better for them than waiting in the temple for you guys to catch them.

Abbess Yun Miao coldly snorted, “Utter bullshit. The moment they leave the temple, a sniper would take the opportunity to kill them. Furthermore, since they have contacted Blue Storm, they’d think that it’s safer to wait for them to arrive.”

“Oh Abbess……” Yang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, “Perhaps you haven’t been in a war and haven’t shot a gun, so you don’t know how it’s like to be a sniper. Many calculations and parameters have to be taken for a sniper to take a proper shot.

Night Wolf didn’t bring anyone to assist with the calculations. Purely with him alone, the chances of hitting the lamas who have deep cultivation levels is very low, especially when they are on guard. Besides, Night Wolf also has to take into account that he mustn’t damage the Vairocana Dharma Body.

As for the reinforcements, that makes even less sense. Before I came, all you guys could do was trap them in the temple, could it be that they didn’t know you guys can bring in reinforcements as well? Even if they chose not to wait for Blue Storm’s people, the situation wouldn’t change by much.”

After hearing his words, their expressions changed into one of deep thought. When looking at this way, the choices of the five lamas was indeed strange. Especially when they still haven’t made a move up till now.

The young nun Hui Lin on the other hand looked at them with curiosity. She didn’t seem to understand what was going on,

“Sir Pluto’s analysis does make sense, but the plan has already been executed, we mustn’t casually make adjustments.” Tsunami said with furrowed brows.

Suddenly, the image on the monitors shook and turned into complete darkness!

Everyone was stunned by this, Leaf immediately began tapping on the keyboard at lightning speeds, but nothing changed. Her expression darkened, and she said, “This is bad, a powerful electromagnetic interference has cut off all communications!”
