Chapter 443: Annihilate the Nine Clans
This battle caused some minor damage to the Long Chi Troop, but the injuries were not severe, with only five members sustaining serious wounds. Under these circumstances, these five were certainly unable to continue in the subsequent battles.
Jin Gang withdrew their qualification to compete, and soon a helicopter flew in, taking the five away.
Now, the Long Chi Troop still had thirteen members remaining, but they were still a formidable team.
The central control room.
The Grand Marshals from the ten military regions were currently sitting in front of the big screen.
The screen continually flashed updates on various units. When the Long Chi Troop first encountered the Dragon Soul Unit, aside from Cheng Dongliang, the other nine Military Governors didn't have high hopes for Long Chi.
After all, Long Chi's performance last year was very poor, and its overall strength was not as good as other units. It was impossible to improve much in just one year.
However, when Long Chi won the first battle with an almost overwhelming advantage, the atmosphere in the control room suddenly became somewhat subtle.
The Grand Marshal of Dragon Soul's face turned ashen, angered that his subordinates were wiped out without any resistance, and he resentfully glared at the nonchalant Cheng Dongliang, saying, "It's just good luck. But luck alone can't last very long."
Cheng Dongliang ignored him. Some people are just willfully blind; if they're convinced you're trash, even when you show extraordinary strength, they still won't change their original opinion.
Time would prove that today's Long Chi was different from the past.
When Long Chi faced Long Ren, a mocking smile appeared in the eyes of these Military Governors; it was ridicule.
Dragon Soul's own strength wasn't that great, and their defeat to Long Chi was somewhat acceptable to the crowd. But Long Ren was not a unit Long Chi could compare with.
The Military Governor of Long Ren even feigned regret when speaking to Cheng Dongliang, saying, "I'm truly sorry, to think you've met our unit. It looks like Long Chi's journey in the military region competition ends here."
Yet reality always turned out to be more absurd. When they saw Long Chi discovering Long Ren in advance and making prior deployments, an ominous feeling rose within them.
The Military Governor of Long Ren became even more solemn, silently fixating on the screen.
Long Chi's strategic allocation and personnel deployment were so perfect that even those critical Military Governors had to admit it.
With such a perfect deployment and the tacit cooperation of many, Long Ren's defeat, even with firearms, seemed to be expected.
Cheng Dongliang vividly remembered the rage that washed over the elderly visage of the Military Governor of Long Ren when Long Chi wiped out Long Ren without any casualties.
"A bunch of trash!" the Long Ren Military Governor cursed furiously as he harshly flung his sleeve.
Cheng Dongliang smiled without saying a word, while the other Military Governors experienced a subtle shift in their mindset.
One victory might be considered luck, but consecutive victories, especially with such minimal casualties, couldn't be explained by luck alone.
Particularly, the young instructor of Long Chi, whose moves were sharp, managing to one-shot the instructors of both Dragon Soul and Long Ren.
Such methods, such strength, were not something ordinary people possessed.
At this moment, several Military Governors finally began to take Long Chi seriously. They knew that in this military region competition, apart from Dragon Group, there was another unit, Long Chi, that required special attention.
Perhaps because of Long Chi's impressive performance in the previous two rounds, when the members of Long Chi discovered a scout from the Canglang Unit, the heart of the Canglang Military Governor couldn't help but skip a beat.
Even though he had a lot of confidence in Canglang, facing this year's extraordinarily strong Long Chi, he still had some worries.
When the scene shifted to Canglang Unit and Cheng Yiyi appeared on the big screen, the pupils of these Military Governors all contracted slightly.
"Isn't this girl..."
The Canglang Military Governor looked at Cheng Dongliang and asked, "How did your daughter end up in my unit?"
Cheng Dongliang's face twitched, and he said irritably, "That's your unit, why are you asking me?"
The Military Governor of the Canglang Unit was left speechless by the rebuke, coughed, and said, "It's nothing. Our Canglang is still very secure, I just hope you don't hold any grudges when we take out Long Chi later. Tsk tsk, your own daughter taking out your own troops, that's really something..."
"Hmph!" Cheng Dongliang ignored him, but he felt somewhat helpless in his heart. His daughter truly was a rebellious spirit who would not be tamed.
As the scene changed, Cheng Yiyi and Ye Chu arrived on the other side of the dune, and the drone continued to record from another direction.
Ye Chu began to make advances on Cheng Yiyi, who struggled furiously. All of this was clearly displayed on the big screen before the eyes of these Military Governors.
Rage and fury erupted from Cheng Dongliang's body in an instant, shattering all the teacups on the table.
The Military Governors knew that Cheng Dongliang was angry, and they didn't know what to say. They only looked sympathetically at the Military Governor of the Canglang Unit, after all, Ye Chu was one of his men.
Cheng Dongliang, with a low voice that betrayed his towering rage, declared, "If my daughter sustains even the slightest injury, I will annihilate his entire clan!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, the Military Governor of the Canglang Unit frowned and said, "I will send someone to handle it."
No sooner had he spoken than the scene changed again, and Feng Longwei, with a group of men, arrived swiftly and successfully rescued Cheng Yiyi.
Seeing this, the Military Governor of the Canglang Unit breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Dongliang's expression also softened significantly.
"What a piece of trash, meddling in that boy's personal affair during the military district competition, making me lose face in front of them all," cursed the Military Governor of the Canglang Unit in anger. If Ye Chu were in front of him at that moment, he would have been slapped to death already.
Immediately following, the Canglang and Long Chi units met head-on.
Feng Longwei and his small team headed towards the Long Chi encirclement, a sight that made even the ten Military Governors a bit nervous.
In terms of strength, Long Chi was certainly superior, but in terms of tactics, the two sides were well matched. The biggest variable was the Long Chi instructor.
Long Chi took the initiative to attack, while Canglang responded calmly. Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
A soldier from the Canglang Unit, referred to as "Wood", took out an opponent with a single shot, and then the other side opened fire.
But just as that shot rang out, Li Xiaoyao's ghostly figure appeared.
When the Military Governors heard the panicked cries of the Canglang Unit's members shouting out Li Xiaoyao's name, they were momentarily stunned before quickly remembering.
This man was the very same Li Xiaoyao who had killed Li Shisan, wasn't he?
Realizing Li Xiaoyao's identity, the faces of the Military Governors changed drastically, and they felt a bitter taste in their hearts.
They hadn't imagined that Cheng Dongliang could muster the ability to summon such a formidable ally.
...
Ye Chu, holding Blood Rose, escaped the range of Li Xiaoyao's mental influence but didn't dare to relax and kept sprinting forward.
Around dusk, Ye Chu suddenly saw a group of figures ahead. Upon closer inspection, he was overjoyed.
It was Feng Longwei!
"It seems even the heavens want to help me," Ye Chu thought as he quickly ran over. Feng Longwei heard the noise and looked over, slightly stunned to see Ye Chu and Blood Rose appearing from nowhere.

"Where are the others?" Ye Chu glanced around and noticed that there were only seven people following Feng Longwei, which made him frown and feel somewhat displeased.
