The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1557 - 1556: Gunner

With just one word from Tang Rao, Fang Jinxiu quickly gathered the people to the frontline.The experience summarized on Blue Star many years ago, coupled with the occasional acting before, the team led by Fang Jinxiu could now compete with the team led by Tang Rao.

No, with the weapons at hand, Fang Jinxiu was confident that her side had an advantage over Tang Rao's.

"This is my years of hard work, please review them, my dear husband."

Fang Jinxiu rarely called Tang Rao "husband," a term only used on Blue Star. Tang Rao didn't mind it, but he hadn't heard it for years and couldn't quite react to the term anymore.

"Tang Rao, are you going to review your troops or not? Aren't you afraid that the Qin Family will defeat you completely later?"

Seeing Tang Rao standing there like a fool, Fang Jinxiu poked Tang Rao's elbow, bringing him back to reality, no longer immersed in the soft and sweet words from Fang Jinxiu.

"I'm always confident in the troops you've trained; the upcoming battle is real. Why don't I review them directly in the battle? Let's save the Purple Crystal weapons where we can."

Tang Rao was financially tight, and Purple Crystal wasn't something that came easily. It's better to save where possible.

Fang Jinxiu saw Tang Rao's firm resolve and didn't argue, as when Tang Rao was in charge, Fang Jinxiu had to listen, and when Tang Rao was her husband, Fang Jinxiu had to listen even more. In this family, it was Tang Rao who had always made the decisions.

The Qin elder arrived fiercely and faster than Tang Rao anticipated.

Wang Han married into the Kao Shan Sect, unaware that the sect had an unusual team. That seemingly ordinary Fang Jinxiu was actually a leading figure of the sect.

The strange items the soldiers held completely piqued her curiosity.

"Tang Rao, what are these things? Do you intend to use them to fight against the enemy?"

The black guns, with dark tubes that obscure the other end, this tiny thing said to kill, who could believe it?

"Not to fight against the enemy, but to seize the initiative to kill. Just watch."

Tang Rao never thought he needed to reach the peak of the late Divine God stage to sit as the main deity. He had lived in the twenty-first century, which meant he already knew the importance of unity and strategic maneuvers. If one path doesn't work for one person, wouldn't gathering a group and taking another path be more powerful?

Wang Han was confused, and there was already movement outside.

The Qin elder and Tang Rao had similar strength. Tang Rao progressed several times, whereas the elder didn't progress at all, yet he constantly claimed to seek revenge for Qin Qing against Tang Rao. Tang Rao decided to let the Qin elder see if he could gain an advantage in front of many subordinates without taking action personally.

"Open the city gates, drive him away, push him far and then kill him. Remember, I still say the same: not a single building in Zijing City should be damaged."

Opening the gates, setting up formations, firing, and launching—all actions were completed in one go. The Qin elder thought Tang Rao was surrendering when opening the gates but didn't expect to see no signs of surrender, only plenty of bullets. These things didn't kill him but made him wary, forcing him to retreat over a hundred meters.

The first batch of bullets lacked strong power, only enough to handle mid-level Divine Power, fatal to the mid-divine level, but not so to the divine level.

The Qin elder realized this truth only after retreating over a hundred meters, but he had already lost face, as people saw him being forced back by those suddenly charging from Zijing City.

"Elder Qin, you can bother me, revenge isn't out of the question. But I hate fighting in my Zijing City. If the flowers, grass, and buildings are smashed, I'll be unhappy, making you regret too. Got it?"

The two teams were at the forefront, and when they intercepted Elder Qin, they suddenly split into two, opening a path for Tang Rao. Tang Rao, walking out from the middle, spoke dominantly to Elder Qin.

To the elder, Tang Rao was just lucky, just cheeky.

Even facing death, he dared to be arrogant to protect Zijing City. The more Tang Rao cared about the city, the more the elder wanted to destroy it, even Tang Rao's life.

"Give me back my granddaughter Qin Qing's life!"

With so many people watching, the elder approached righteously. With all these eyes on him, he needed a reason.

"Do I need to say what your granddaughter did? Her suicide process plays over and over in Illusion City, with people pointing out that you were behind the schemes. Aren't you as a grandfather too irresponsible?"

The grandfather instructs his granddaughter, instructs her to kill her son-in-law. When the son-in-law discovers her foul deeds, instead of covering them up, the elder wants to retaliate against Tang Rao, claiming revenge for Qin Qing while seeking to continue his plot or driven by ancestral affection, with only himself knowing the truth.

"Don't try to fool the public with your lies. Seeing you have more people, you forced her to say those things and to slander me. This is all your conspiracy, no matter what you say, I won't believe it!"

The elder could stand here, proving he was determined to repay this grievance!

"Prepare the cannon!"

Tang Rao stepped aside, speaking to Elder Qin only to delay time, allowing the cannoneers enough time to prepare. Hearing an almost inaudible signal, Tang Rao knew it was the perfect moment for them to act.

"Elder, congratulations on being the first in the Divine Realm to enjoy the cannon I worked hard to develop. This time it's free; do you want to try?"

Tang Rao merely symbolically sought Elder Qin's opinion, otherwise he wouldn't have made a gesture to fire during the question.

A handgun can be controlled, bullets categorized, and the power controlled within a certain range. But cannons are different, Fang Jinxiu's goal for developing cannons was to maximize their effect, ideally killing late Divine Gods in one shot, which was best.

Among the gunners, Cha Xiangzi took the lead, he had begged Fang Jinxiu for this task multiple times, finally succeeding, unwilling to let his ungraceful posture deprive him of being a gunner.

"Boss, a successful gunner must do more than just small tasks. I have strong physical resilience; you'll be assured if the firing is entrusted to me, right?"
