Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1098: Chapter 662: Battle! (Part 3)

Xiao Qi and the others cultivate their qi meridians, requiring sufficient Zhunti True Qi to flow continuously through the meridians to strengthen them.

But for Xiao Qi and the others, they aren’t really helping Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi; they worry that these two weaklings will drag their clans down on the battlefield…

The result is, after a week, Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi undergo rotations of Empowerment during the day and cultivate at night, seemingly about to break through to C-Class…

At this time, a knock is heard at the door, and Xiao Ying stands at the entrance carrying several wooden crates, waiting for Xiao Qi and the others to move the crates into the War Fortress before leaving.

Qing Chen pries open the crates, revealing a pile of ordnance inside, all of them cluster bombs transported by Kunlun from outside Whale Island, seemingly ready for a war in the Inner World.

Zard, with Little Sapling atop his head, stuffs pack after pack of cluster bombs into his body until he is reshaped back into an Ice Dumpling, grinning as he asks, “Boss, how about the title ‘Temporal Arms Dealer Zard’?”

Qing Chen responds earnestly, “It’s great.”

Zard smiles broadly.

There’s no denying it; with Zard, the mover between the Inner and Outer Worlds, Qing Chen can achieve much more.

Who says Transcendents must rely solely on melee? Isn’t it more convenient to bring cluster bombs along?

Tuan Zi looks at the bombs curiously and asks, “We shouldn’t be in any danger this time, right? Boss, didn’t you say Boss He and Boss Zheng are also here?”

Qing Chen dampens the mood, “It’s not that simple; we still face a lot of danger.”

There is still a Chen’s Field Force waiting for them over in the Inner World.

Although that Field Force’s strength has been repeatedly depleted before returning, there’s still over 6,000 personnel.

Now, those in their prime are Qing Chen, Huan Yu, Yang Xiaojun, He Jinqiu, Zheng Yuandong, Ding Dong, Gu Dong, the wild boars from Taboo Land No. 002. Zard’s arm hasn’t recovered, so he’s not at full strength.

With just their group against more than 6,000 well-armed troops, it’s quite challenging.

Keep in mind, Field Forces are integral main forces on the frontline; the whole Federation has only 32 Field Forces on land.

According to the Federal Group Army’s standard configuration, a Field Force has at least one A-Class Colonel, over a dozen B-Class and C-Class officers, and hundreds of D-Class Genetic Warriors forming special forces.

Out of 6,000 people, 600 are designated for neuron docking to control war robots, drones, and mechanical spiders.

This part is what Qing Chen worries least about; as soon as he activates his electromagnetic pulse field, no electronic mechanical force can match him in melee.

But within that Field Force, there’s still a heavy firepower unit with about 2,000 personnel.

Currently, Qing Chen’s greatest concern is that the Field Force has completed long-range firepower deployment. After crossing over, the opponent only needs to perform an ammo-based firepower cover, and their group would be vaporized instantly.

Qing Chen’s rules, be they existent or non-existent, can’t stop heavy artillery shells.

Facing a regular army in full strength—even with new support like He Jinqiu and Zheng Yuandong—they are still not completely secure.

Furthermore, the Chen Clan’s Demigod personally pursuing Shadow and Qing Chen, how could he only bring the unlucky Chen Bing, an A-Class expert?

There must be other experts from the Chen Clan within the crowd!

So, the first priority after crossing over is to relocate swiftly, relying on the Transcendents’ speed to infiltrate the Field Force, preventing the heavy firepower unit from indiscriminately attacking both sides.

The second task is to dismantle the heavy firepower unit.

Both tasks must be addressed concurrently.

Only upon completion of these tasks, eliminating the deadliest threats, can Qing Chen and the others confidently engage the Field Force experts and leverage their mighty individual strengths to break through.

At this moment, there’s a knock at the War Fortress door. Qing Chen is puzzled about who would come here now.

He goes to open the door and sees Huan Yu standing at the entrance with dark circles under his eyes…. This guy hasn’t slept for three days and nights.

Qing Chen and Huan Yu stand at the door, exchanging silent glances, both with such strong mental fortitude that they hold out for half an hour without speaking…

Finally, Huan Yu breaks the silence, “Call Zard out.”

Qing Chen turns and walks into the War Fortress, “Zard, someone’s here for you.”

Filled with cluster bombs, Zard hops to the entrance but gets stuck in the small iron gate.

He looks at Huan Yu’s dark circles, “Brother, is that your exclusive skin?”

Huan Yu, in a bad mood, takes a backpack off his back and hands it to Zard, “Bring this to the Inner World and toss it into the sky as soon as possible.”

“Oh, okay,” Zard nods.

Huan Yu glares at him, “Stop messing around with Qing Chen; if it weren’t for Xiao Yu caring if you died, I’d wish you a quick death on the battlefield directly.”

Finishing his words, Huan Yu turns and leaves.

Zard stuffs the backpack into his stomach.

Suddenly, Qing Chen is curious, “There’s something I haven’t figured out; since Huan Yu is part of the Chen Clan, won’t his involvement in Chen Clan’s actions against us have repercussions? He could be exiled from the Chen Clan and forced into hiding.”

Zard cheerfully explains, “It’s fine; the Chen Clan doesn’t know it’s him.”

Qing Chen is startled; why can’t the Chen Clan recognize such a distinctive ability that belongs to Huan Yu?

Could it be that Huan Yu never displayed such an ability within the Chen Clan family?

Wait.

Since Huan Yu is part of the Chen Clan, shouldn’t his inheritance path be the same as Chen Yu’s? Yet, Qing Chen hasn’t seen Huan Yu use the Chen Clan’s inherited abilities.

Therefore, is Huan Yu actually a dual Cultivator and Awakener?

Outside, he uses Awakener powers to conceal his identity; within the Chen Clan, he only uses his ‘artist’ status.

In this way, no one knows who the young man controlling the Yu Yan is.

Qing Chen keeps searching for relevant information in his mind… At this time, he discovers an important historical clue.

Ren Xiaosu’s wife, Yang Xiaojun, had an aunt named Yang Anjing, who died in the early stages of the Intelligent Machinery Crisis.

The history recorded by the Li Family notes that Yang Anjing could control thousands of paper cranes to kill, quite formidable.

However, after Yang Anjing’s death, no Taboo associated with her was found, and Hu’s Information Agency has kept Taboo object ACE-066 vacant, awaiting its appearance.

This situation is strange; usually, a seen Taboo object is given a number by Hu’s.

But this Taboo object belongs to a category where Hu’s hasn’t seen it yet is convinced it exists, so they directly left a number for it upfront.

Qing Chen suddenly wonders if Huan Yu’s ability to control paper folded Yu Yan might come from Yang Anjing’s Taboo object?

Countdown reaches zero.

Cross-dimensional travel.

The world plunges into darkness.

And then it returns to light.

Qing Chen breaks away from his speculation, “Yang Xiaojun, tackle the heavy firepower unit; everyone else, follow me!”

The next moment, Zard takes out the cluster bombs one by one from his body and tosses them to Yang Xiaojun, the girl soaring into the sky with the bombs, aiming to fly over the Field Force’s position to the rear.

At this point, she sees the flash of artillery fire roaring in the distance from the sky!

Not good!

Just as Qing Chen predicted, the Chen Clan’s heavy firepower unit has completed ballistic deployment and fired!

In an instant, Huan Yu angrily roars near the battlefield, “Throw!”

At that moment, Huan Yu only feels the soil beneath him abruptly transform into a giant hand, flinging him into the sky. Enraged, Huan Yu shouts, “I meant to throw that backpack, not me!”

Zard pauses, swiftly takes the backpack from his body and throws it skyward.

With a tearing sound.

Hundreds of white Yu Yan hidden in the backpack suddenly penetrate the backpack, like torrents of rain flying toward the sky, threading through the vast heavens!

Each Yu Yan accurately collides with the first wave of artillery fired by the Chen Clan troops, intercepting the shells in mid-air!
