38: Chapter 38 Battle Against Bandits!

"Everyone, stay in the vehicles immediately!!!"

"Machine guns, ready!!"

"Sniper rifles, ready!!!"

"Combat drones, take off and engage the enemy!!!"

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly issued several orders over the intercom, and a series of "Received" responses came back rapidly.

Everyone present, whether Cultivator or Mortal, appeared extremely nervous, except for Su Fan.

Although they were well-equipped with armored combat vehicles, four combat drones, several machine guns, sniper rifles, automatic rifles, assault rifles, pistols, grenades, and so on, they were, after all, facing a bandit group with two Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they didn't really have much chance of winning.

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Fan, "Su Fan, come with me..."

Then, she looked at Chen Qian: "Chen Qian, you are responsible for protecting the workers and Wang Hao."

After speaking, she took her sword and walked toward the direction where the bandits were descending the mountain without looking back.

Her figure in uniform appeared slightly slender in the wind, yet so valiant; her tall posture evoked an inexplicable sense of admiration in those who watched her.

"As expected of the woman who could become the Section Chief of the 13th Security Section at the Qi Refining Layer 7, she is truly a heroine among women!"

Wang Hao, with half his body wrapped in bandages, supported by Chen Qian, gazed at Qin Xiaoxiao's retreating back and exclaimed sincerely.

Chen Qian punched him with a tearful voice: "What time do you think it is? How do you still have the mood to say such things..."

"Ouch! Ouch! You have to believe in Section Chief Qin and Junior Brother Su. Besides, look at how well-equipped we are; don't be so nervous. It's just two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators..."

Wang Hao said this to Chen Qian, not knowing if he was feigning calmness or genuinely believed they could win.

At this moment, Su Fan caught up with Qin Xiaoxiao. Qin Xiaoxiao whispered in front of him: "The Foundation Establishment Realm is truly very strong, and I suspect this bandit team is Huang Lang and his gang. I didn't expect them to actually have two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators. Su Fan, I didn't expect to encounter such a sudden situation. What I'm about to say, you must remember carefully; this is an order..."

"Go ahead, Section Chief Qin, I will remember it." Su Fan said in a calm tone.

"Good..."

Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said with a grave expression: "In this battle, I might die. I need you to protect the remaining people no matter what—Chen Qian, Wang Hao, all the special forces soldiers, and the workers..."

"I will try my best to take both Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators down with me... If I die, this team will be under your command. You must..."

At this point, Qin Xiaoxiao's voice was choked with sobs: "...you must lead them out alive."

"Rest assured, you won't die."

Before Su Fan could finish, Qin Xiaoxiao turned back and looked directly at him, her face tear-stained: "Now is not the time for jokes... Do you think our weapons can deal with two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators?"

"Don't be afraid, with me here, you won't die."

Su Fan patted her shoulder, comforting her.

With a slight sound from her epaulet, for a fleeting moment, Qin Xiaoxiao felt as if Su Fan were truly strong enough to resolve the current crisis. But after coming to her senses, she reddened her eyes, bit her lip, and shook her head...

Sigh, that was just a fantasy.

She had seen Su Fan's combat strength; at most, it was around Qi Refining Layer 5, and he was simply no match for the Foundation Establishment Realm...

"Section Chief Qin, the drones are deployed and in position. Shall we launch the attack?"

The sound came from the intercom on her waist.

Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed the intercom and suddenly shouted: "Can you stop asking for instructions at a time like this!! Attack!!!"

"Yes!!!"

Soon, the four combat drones were the first to encounter the group of bandits rushing down the mountain. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the propellers spun, and simultaneously, a large number of particle beam weapons were fired!

"Ugh!"

"Ah!"

The few bandits rushing at the very front were killed instantly.

"Damn it, not good! It's combat drones!!"

Huang Lang was flying in the sky on a skateboard. He turned his head to look at the square-faced man standing on a Flying Sword: "Old Liu... how do we deal with them?"

"Hit the propellers!"

The square-faced man said, and then, channeling his Spiritual Qi, he fired several flashing white Spells from his hand, all of which struck the propellers of the combat drones...

Two of the combat drones immediately crashed and exploded.

Boom!

Flames shot up into the sky.

Seeing the drones destroyed so easily, Huang Lang chuckled, followed suit, fired two Spells, and quickly destroyed the other two combat drones as well.

Then he laughed loudly: "As expected of Deputy Director Liu, you know so much!"

The square-faced man, "Deputy Director Liu," remained expressionless and noncommittal.

But he felt suspicious in his heart. This drone tactic was clearly something he had created, so the personnel of this convoy... could they all be from the Justice Bureau of the Ninth Safe Zone?

"Charge!!! Brothers!!!"

"Kill all the dogs from the Justice Bureau!!!"

At Huang Lang's order, the twenty-plus bandits, seeing a piece of fat meat right in front of them, sprinted the final five hundred meters at full speed!!

"All combat teams, please pay attention!! Open fire for me!!!"

In an instant!

Ta ta ta!!!

Ta ta ta ta ta!!!

Machine guns, assault rifles, automatic rifles, and the sound of sniper rifles following a beat behind, all rang out at once!!!

"Spiritual Qi protection!!! Block it for me!!!"

Above the sky, a pale yellow barrier of Qi covered Huang Lang's body, much like a Golden Bell Shield, forcefully withstanding all the bullets...

The bullets hit the barrier as if they were hitting a steel plate; they couldn't penetrate it at all.

As for the square-faced man, he flipped his palm, and white Qi condensed on it. In an instant, it seemed as if the surrounding air currents were stirred up, all converging into his hand in a vortex shape...

"Break... for me!!!"

With a deep shout, the square-faced man pushed out his palm...

Those bullets that were flying toward him, in an instant, all seemed to freeze in the air, and then fell down with a clatter...

Seeing this scene, all the combat soldiers on the convoy's side were dumbfounded, to the point that they forgot to continue shooting...

Are Foundation Establishment Realm experts this terrifying!?

Modern combat weapons actually cannot harm them in the slightest?

Can they only surrender and wait for death?

They shifted their gaze to Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Fan, but soon felt despair again. Those two in the sky were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, capable of controlling objects to fly, but these two were only at the Qi Refining Realm; they were simply no match for them...

It's over, it's over, what should they do now!?

Just as everyone was at their wits' end, Huang Lang and the square-faced man had already flown directly above the convoy.

Huang Lang stood on his skateboard, stabilized his body, looked down with contempt, and shouted downward with a voice carrying a hint of Spiritual Qi pressure: "You dogs of the Justice Bureau, I am Huang Lang. Don't you keep saying you want to bring me to justice? Never mind that you don't have any Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators here; even if you had eight or ten, what would I have to fear?"

"You dogs, if you want to die quickly, tell the truth: which celebrity or rich person are you escorting in the vehicle??"

"You bastards, Spiritual Qi has already revived, and you are still protecting them, acting as their dogs. Today, I, Huang Lang, will act on behalf of the heavens and kill you all!!!"

Down below, Qin Xiaoxiao drew her sword, staring fixedly at the two people in the sky, assuming a combat stance. Her gaze was incredibly resolute, and she said in a deep voice: "Ninth Safe Zone, Justice Bureau, 13th Security Section, Section Chief, ID number 008755, Qin Xiaoxiao..."

"Today... I am willing to die!!!"
