Chapter 376 becomes Chapter 2, under the tree, 69
The Japanese ninjas surrounding Qin Lan also noticed the actions of their vice-captain, Junpuku.
One by one, they quickly distanced themselves from Qin Lan, giving their vice-captain room to make a move, in their view.
With the help of a Chunin whose strength is close to that of a Jonin, Lord Rokujiro will surely be able to take down this terrifyingly strong woman in front of him very quickly.
However, in order to restrict Qin Lan's space of movement, when they retreated, they threw poisoned hidden weapons at Qin Lan and those around her as if they were free.
What they didn't know was that Qin Lan had been surrounded by them just because they were playing cat and mouse.
After realizing the intentions of the Japanese ninjas around her, Qin Lan lost the will to continue playing.
After all, the silly bear on the side had already been toyed with by the Japanese ninjas and was screaming in pain.
When a cat loses interest in teasing mice, it means the mice's days are numbered.
The Tang sword in his hand flashed around him in a dazzling display of blades, knocking all the hidden weapons shot by the Japanese ninjas to the ground.
Meanwhile, Liu Jiu, taking advantage of the time his subordinates had bought for him, appeared behind Qin Lan.
The samurai sword in his hand was already raised high, the target being Qin Lan's right arm holding the sword.
Seeing this, Qin Lan remained calm. Using her left leg as a fulcrum, she suddenly exerted force with her right calf, propelling her entire body around her waist. Qin Lan gripped the knife with both hands, concentrating all her strength at the tip of the blade.
He turned around and delivered a diagonal slash to Liu Jiu, who had already arrived behind him under the tree.
The slash was like a silver lightning bolt, tearing through the air and emitting a piercing screech.
Shushita Rokujiu, who was facing the knife head-on, felt a chill in his heart. It was too fast, far too fast.
As Liu Jiu approached the tree, he had already raised his katana above his head, leaving him no time to retreat and defend.
Moreover, he couldn't avoid this blow.
So Shuxia Liujiu decided to fight to the death, raising his samurai sword high above his head and slashing down at Qin Lan in front of him.
But before the knife could fall on Qin Lan, Liu Jiu under the tree felt a blur before his eyes, and the tall woman who had been in front of him had vanished without a trace.
Liu Jiu was shocked. Before he could find Qin Lan, he felt a warm sensation on his waist.
Immediately following, under the shocked gazes of Liu Jiu, the surrounding ninjas, and Shao Feng and others who had just arrived at the edge of the battlefield, the scene unfolded.
Liu Jiu's upper body slowly slid down from the waist.
"Pfft."
Liu Jiu's upper body slammed to the ground under the tree with a dull thud.
His lower body remained standing in the same spot.
"what!!!!"
Liu Jiu let out a piercing scream as he fell to the ground under the tree.
Looking at the pile of mangled remains flowing from the waist, Liu Jiu under the tree felt an aura of death enveloping him.
His hands instinctively went to the wound on his waist, but it seemed somewhat futile in the face of the huge wound.
The massive blood loss quickly made Shuxia Liujiu feel the call of death.
Qin Lan, determined to kill with a single blow, did not stop. Her figure resembled a leopard charging towards its prey at full speed, as the Tang sword in her hand drew streaks of silver light in the cold night.
In less than 10 seconds, only two Japanese ninjas remained standing on the field, the two in front of the silly bear in the distance.
The other two Japanese ninjas were taken down by Silly Bear when Qin Lan's terrifying slash stunned them.
However, the lives of these two Japanese ninjas were now on the verge of extinction.
Because they had been approached by the silly bear.
"Pah, pah."
Two watermelon-splitting sounds echoed through the woods, marking the end of the battle.
Meanwhile, Shao Feng and the others were still focused on the two legs that were standing still.
In this somewhat dark and dense forest, this scene was truly terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
Especially since their owner was lying not far from these two legs, already lifeless.
"Shao Feng, Shi Xiaodong, what brings you here?"
Qin Lan broke the eerie atmosphere with her words, bringing Shao Feng and the others back to their senses.
After regaining his senses, Shao Feng glanced around at the horrific battlefield and confirmed that the Japanese soldiers were the ones they had been fighting before replying.
"We just ran into this group of strangely dressed Japanese soldiers, and we came to check after hearing gunshots here."
"There are Japanese devils like that? Where are they? I'll go and have a go at them!"
Qin Lan's face lit up with joy; she rarely encountered a Japanese soldier who liked to use a knife.
"Ahem, these should be the people. As for whether there are any elsewhere, I don't know for now."
Seeing that Qin Lan had misunderstood him, Shao Feng immediately offered an explanation.
"Alright, then you guys clean up the battlefield, and then we'll go explore other places together and see if there are any more Japanese soldiers like that."
Qin Lan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but Shao Feng's next words gave her some inspiration.
He immediately urged Shao Feng and the others.
Anyway, she didn't care about the Japanese soldiers' equipment on the ground, nor did she need it.
Upon hearing this, Shao Feng and the others immediately sprang into action. With Qin Lan's reminder, they were extra careful when looting the corpses.
They were afraid of being injured by the poisoned hidden weapons scattered all over their bodies, as well as the hidden weapons they hadn't had time to throw.
If you were poisoned while looting a corpse, that would be a rather unjust death.
In less than 10 minutes, Shao Feng and his men had thoroughly examined all 20-plus Japanese soldiers' corpses.
Besides a dozen or so Japanese Type 10 submachine guns and dozens of samurai swords that had become serrated, there were also other weapons.
Shao Feng also found a photo of Xu Jie on Liu Jiu's body, which was under the tree that had been broken in two.
There were also a few lines of text written in Japanese script on the back of the photo.
However, none of those present understood Japanese, so Shao Feng didn't immediately know what was written on the back of the photo.
However, based on what his captain had said earlier, Shao Feng had some guesses in his mind.
He thought these strangely dressed Japanese soldiers must have come to make contact with Xu Jiejie.
But Shao Feng had no clue about the Japanese soldiers' specific objectives.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the woods ahead, breaking Shao Feng's reverie.
Upon hearing the commotion in the woods ahead, Shao Feng and the others immediately went on alert.
"Shao Feng, are you the ones standing in front of me?"
The speaker was Shi Yong, another squad leader in the special forces.
He had just heard the intense gunfire and immediately led his squad over.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Shao Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he suddenly remembered something: Shi Yong knew Japanese.
Thinking of this, Shao Feng immediately shouted towards the direction from which Shi Yong's voice came.
"It's me, Shi Yong. Come here and help me translate this."
Meanwhile, inside the council chamber, Xu Jie glanced at his wristwatch once more.
Seeing that it was almost time to meet, Xu Jie immediately stood up and spoke to Bai Xiumei, who was not far away.
"Minister, I'm going to the village entrance. The person I asked to find out information should be arriving soon."
After hearing Xu Jie's words, Bai Xiumei gave him a meaningful look before nodding in agreement.
Xu Jie felt a little guilty under Bai Xiumei's gaze and quickly walked out of the council hall.
What Xu Jie didn't notice was that when he left the council hall, Liu Qiao, who had been standing behind a pillar, had also disappeared.
