149: Chapter 149 What is Tactics? This is Tactics
The dozens of massive tentacles made of rock came too fast, too suddenly!
The Students from Heisen Military Academy hadn't even had time to make any effective reaction before they were fiercely swiped away by those rock tentacles filled with the power of the earth!
"Ah—!"
"Pfft!"
For a moment, screams, the sound of shattering bones, and the sound of vomiting blood rose one after another!
Their originally disciplined battle formation, filled with professional competence, was instantly shattered into pieces!
"Hold steady! Everyone hold steady for me!"
That scar-faced captain, forcibly suppressing the churning blood in his chest, let out a hoarse roar!
He couldn't figure it out no matter what!
How did the opponent discover them?
And how was it possible to set such a terrifying trap from three kilometers away?
This simply didn't make sense!
However, before he could figure all of this out.
Another, even more terrifying nightmare descended!
Crackle—!
A thick, incomparably massive spear of thunder, flashing with silver-white electric light, descended like divine punishment from the nine heavens!
Carrying a terrifying might capable of destroying everything!
It fell from the sky!
With absolute precision, it slammed into their already chaotic team!
It was Lei Qian!
He, too, had been instructed by Wang Pingan to lie in ambush in another perfect attack position beforehand!
Boom—!!!
A deafening explosion roared out!
The violent power of thunder, like a bursting dam, instantly swept through the hundred-meter radius area!
Those few unlucky Students from Heisen Military Academy who happened to be at the center of the explosion didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly electrocuted into charred remains by that terrifying thunderous power!
"No—!"
Watching his own team members die so miserably, the scar-faced captain's eyes turned red instantly!
He let out a beast-like roar filled with grief and indignation!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, gather to me! Form the 'Heisen Battle Formation'!"
He tried to regroup and counterattack.
But how could Wang Pingan possibly give him that chance?
Just the moment his voice fell.
A spear gleam that was fast to the extreme, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, appeared like a meteor cutting through the dark night!
It appeared silently behind him!
It was Lin Zhan!
He was like a top-tier assassin lurking in the darkness!
He seized the opening revealed by the scar-faced captain because he was distracted by commanding the team!
"Not good!"
Alarm bells rang wildly in the heart of the scar-faced captain!
Without thinking, he poured all his blood essence into his back, trying to withstand this fatal blow head-on!
However, Lin Zhan's spear was simply too fast, too tricky!
Pfft!
A muffled sound of a sharp blade entering flesh!
That black long spear, carrying an unstoppable, tragic killing intent!
Easily pierced through the scar-faced captain's protective aura!
Then, it pierced fiercely through his back and into his heart!
"Urgh..."
The scar-faced captain's body shuddered violently!
He looked down at the cold spear tip that had pierced through his chest.
In those eyes filled with unwillingness and disbelief, his vitality was rapidly fading away.
Even until his death, he couldn't understand.
Why his elite team, known for jungle warfare and anti-ambush capabilities, would be completely wiped out in such a nearly "humiliating" way.
They hadn't even seen the faces of the enemy.
Following the death of their captain.
The dozen or so remaining survivors from Heisen Military Academy completely collapsed!
Their psychological defenses were completely shattered under this series of textbook-perfect ambushes!
"Devils... they are devils!"
"Run! Run quickly!"
They frantically threw away the weapons in their hands and fled in all directions like headless flies!
However.
A true, one-sided slaughter had only just begun.
Streaks of silver sword light, filled with eeriness and ruthlessness, appeared like the fangs of vipers lighting up in the dark night!
They appeared silently on the path that the fleeing Students had to take!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Every time a streak of sword light lit up, it was inevitably accompanied by the withering of a life.
It was Qin Wushuang!
He was like an elegant and cold dancer of death!
In this perfect "hunting ground" created for him by Wang Pingan, he was freely releasing his long-suppressed killing intent!
The entire process from the triggering of the trap to the end of the battle.
Did not exceed... three minutes.
When the last Student from Heisen Military Academy also fell under Qin Wushuang's ruthless sword.
The entire jungle returned to that deathly silence.
Only a thick, nauseating smell of blood remained in the air.
"This... is over?"
The team members from Xuanyuan University, who had only been "watching the show" behind Wang Pingan from beginning to end.
Were all dumbfounded, looking at the scene before them that resembled a shura field.
Their brains were completely blank.
They felt like they were dreaming.
A bloody and... exciting dream.
This is what is called a true "dimensional reduction strike"!
They looked at the lazy youth who hadn't even bothered to lift a finger from beginning to end.
Their eyes were filled with unprecedented worship!
This was their captain!
A devil who could toy with war in the palm of his hand!
"Clean up the battlefield."
Wang Pingan's voice sounded leisurely.
Breaking this deathly silence.
"Scavenge all the 'life crystal cores' from their bodies for me."
"Don't miss a single one."
"Yes! Captain!"
All the team members woke up as if from a dream!
They all acted as if they had been pumped full of adrenaline, rushing forward like madmen!
Starting to scavenge for "spoils of war" on this battlefield "strewn with corpses"!
But Wang Pingan did not move.
He just looked up at the sky.
His [Eye of Truth] penetrated the layers of dense tree canopies.
He "saw".
High above at tens of thousands of meters.
A small, invisible drone that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye was quietly hovering there.
Clearly recording everything that had just happened.
And on the other end of that drone.
In the huge monitoring room of the Central Sacred Hall.
The Star River Emperor was quietly watching the huge holographic screen in front of him.
The screen displayed the entire process of the "textbook-level" ambush battle that Wang Pingan and his team had just fought.
On his face, which was always dignified and calm as an ancient well.
At this moment, a rare smile finally appeared.
"This little guy from Xuanyuan University..."
"A bit interesting."
