Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 796: 479, kill ten people in one step

Enemy raid.

The A-Class Floating ship’s formidable life-sign detection could not err. While it was unclear who was orchestrating the ambush, since it targeted Li Changqing, it must have carried the force enough to kill an A-Class expert.

Lao Shijiu commanded the ground soldiers to swiftly enter combat readiness.

It must be said that Lao Shijiu was seasoned in security work across various environments.

He not only utilized the force at his disposal but also keenly noticed two metal storm units on the farmhouse’s roof, taking control of this advantageous terrain in advance.

“Floating ship, call the Qing Shan Air Fortress immediately!”

The Qing Shan Ship’s speed was inevitably slower than the A-Class Floating ship.

But for Lao Shijiu, all he needed was to hold this position, and once the Qing Shan Ship arrived, all the ground annoyances would be obliterated.

Even a demigod would have to avoid the Qing Shan Ship’s sharpness.

However, just as everyone was tense, Lao Shijiu turned and was suddenly startled to see his own boss hadn’t moved, but instead squatted by the grave pit they had just abandoned.

The grave, which should have been filled, was left open because of the enemy’s arrival, so the soil was not yet covered.

Li Changqing personally crouched down, bit by bit pushing the dug-up soil back into the pit.

Lao Shijiu spoke through the communication channel, “Boss, you don’t need to do this dirty work. We can bury it after the fight is over.”

Li Changqing calmly replied, “It’s fine.”

The soil was cold.

Li Changqing could imagine how painful it was for Qing Chen to dig this huge grave.

Moreover, the enemy was severely injured, and digging was definitely more labor-intensive than burying.

The more Li Changqing thought about it, the more furious he became.

Lao Shijiu asked, “Boss, you need to come command the fight.”

“There’s nothing to command, just kill them all.”

If not for these ambushers, Li Changqing could have continued her pursuit of Qing Chen’s whereabouts quickly, but their arrival had slowed her pace and might even cost her the chance to rescue Qing Chen.

Just then, as she finished speaking.

Suddenly, from the distant ground, matrix-style missiles shot up into the sky, targeting the elevating Floating ship.

But before reaching the Floating ship, they were all intercepted by the ship-mounted close-defense cannons.

Li Changqing sneered and said through the communication channel, “Those capable of hiding infantry matrix vehicles here and avoiding infrared, life signs, thermal imaging must be skilled. I almost know which family it is. I didn’t expect the Chen Clan, silent for so long, to also grow restless.”

In fact, this force hidden in the wilderness could never be found flawed; if evidence were needed, no one could use these troops to accuse the Chen Clan.

But at Li Changqing’s level, actions no longer needed evidence, only logic.

Modernized forces from Deer Island and Jindai had never been to this location. Small groups infiltrating could never carry heavy weapons, so it had to be the Chen Clan.

The Li Family, Qing’s Family had the capability, but no insider would dare act at this critical juncture.

She and Shadow put up an appearance of total dominion, just to make clear to the factions within Li’s and Qing’s Families that now was not the time to step forward. To act differently would be to court disaster.

However, since it was the Chen Clan that made the move, things were bound to be more complicated.

Li Changqing said through the communication channel, “After a round of firepower coverage by the Floating ship, immediately climb to a safe altitude and do not come closer.”

Lao Shijiu was anxious, “Boss, the Floating ship is our guarantee of safety. Their firepower suppression from the sky will keep you safe. Don’t fear the loss of one A-Class Floating ship; your life is far more important! Also, what they are now doing is to force the Floating ship to an altitude where it can’t support the ground operations. They couldn’t possibly deploy more heavy modernized forces here.”

This area was at the intersection between Li’s Military Region and Qing’s Military Region. The Chen Clan could only penetrate here through gaps in satellite monitoring,

Li Changqing shook her head, “There’s no need for unnecessary casualties. This is an order, execute it.”

Plus, as long as the ground remained within the firing range of the Floating ship, how could all the hidden enemies possibly jump out?

The next moment, as the Floating ship climbed in altitude, intelligence came in, “New life signs detected at 2 o’clock and 7 o’clock directions.”

Lao Shijiu was about to say something, but then saw his own boss heading toward the 2 o’clock direction.

Li Changqing walked faster and faster, a small green jade sword suddenly whizzed out, its sharp and shrill sound like a cannonball striking overhead.

The green jade sword had become more solid.

In the Hu’s Information Agency’s cultivation tradition, every powerhouse could nurture several Heart Swords, this was the first one Li Changqing had nurtured to completion.

Suddenly, Lao Shijiu felt his boss’s murderous intent was very heavy today.

Li Changqing said, “You don’t need to come over, stay put and stand by, this is an order.”

…

…

The 2 o’clock direction was a field, the area thick with heavy snow.

As the Floating ship was forced to climb by heavy firepower, the moment Li Changqing drew near, the snow stirred.

Dozens of assassins clad in snow-white ghillie suits suddenly stood up, and right behind them sprang up thirty-two pure white War Robots.

Li Changqing sneered, “To kill me, you’ve really spared no expense. Just because I killed your Family Head’s nephew in City 19, or was it, actually not his nephew, but his illegitimate child?”

The dozens of assassins and thirty-two war robots quickly closed in on Li Changqing.

At this moment, Li Changqing was out of the protective circle of soldiers nearby and without the protection of Aerial Fortress, now was the best time to kill her.

Before this, Li Changqing had either been under the protection of Garrison Forces in city No. 19 or under the mighty Qing Shan Air Fortress.

The opportunity now was too rare.

The assassins had lain in ambush here, originally undecided about making a move, but when they realized that the Qing Shan Air Fortress had not arrived, they finally made up their minds!

In an instant, a fleeting green jade small sword suddenly pierced through the skull of an assassin as Li Changqing continued, “I have really been much more benevolent lately. If it were any other time and I found out you wanted to kill me, I might have let you live, sit down and talk things over, aiming for peace. But this time, you chose the wrong moment.”

Li Changqing still vividly remembered the moment in the street when she almost thought she was going to die, the sound of the sniper rifle like a death knell.

She also vividly remembered how Qing Chen, in order to continue providing her with fire support, stayed in the high building even though he knew enemies would approach the sniper point.

Now, Qing Chen was still suffering yet someone jumped out to block her path to save him.

They all had to die.

At that moment, the thirty-two war robots had already formed a semi-circular defensive formation, only to see the palms at the front ends of their mechanical arms suddenly turned into laser emitters, completely covering all possible directions Li Changqing might move to with their intersecting range.

When facing an A-Class powerhouse, aiming is useless, only fire coverage could match them.

Standing alone against them, Li Changqing showed no signs of nervousness.

There on the deserted snowfield, the woman, dressed in the black uniform of the Federation Army, stood like a lone black piece bravely fighting on a chessboard.

Inavoidable.

The tactics of these thirty-two war robots, perfected by many over decades, were specifically designed for executing A-Class experts on the battlefield.

Li Changqing alone couldn’t possibly avoid the intersecting lasers.

But just as the war robots were about to fire, another white figure suddenly burst out from the snowy ground.

A white raincoat, a black long knife.

The sharp long knife moved as flexibly as a bird, and the war robots’ alloy components were fitted together tightly, but the long knife weaved through the metal gaps.

It was like a butcher skillfully slicing through a cow’s muscles, bones, and tendons with his cleaver.

This scene seemed very complex but occurred in just an instant.

In just a moment, the white figure had darted between the war robots.

It seemed as though he made only one cut, yet also as if he made countless cuts.

When he crossed paths with the war robots, ten of the war robots were completely dismantled, covering just the area where Li Changqing was.

It was as if… a group of war robots suddenly fired, but deliberately missed the target, Li Changqing.

That was the ‘Observer’s’ most exquisite swordplay, killing ten in one move.

Zheng Yuandong, the highest-priced assassin of the Federation, the most famous ‘Observer’.

The next moment, three more green jade small swords swept across the battlefield.

Looking up into the sky, the floating ship had already opened its rear cargo bay doors unbeknownst to them.

A young man in a gray suit and black turtleneck stood there on the edge of the hatch, his eyes tightly closed.

Amidst the turbulence of the floating ship, he stood firmly unmoved.

His feet, like magnets, clung tightly to the floor of the floating ship.

In the midst of breaths, three green jade small swords shuttled past in the snow-covered fields, like the most practiced sickles in the hands of a farmer, harvesting lives.

Not only that, but one of the green jade small swords had already reached the area where the Chen Clan had stationed heavy artillery.

Standing above the sky, He Jinqiu’s coat fluttered in the high-altitude winds, his eyes closed, killing like a god.

The effective range that he controlled with his green jade small sword was even more outrageous than the modern weapons carried by the floating ships!

This was the most talented Executive Director of Hu’s Information Agency’s younger generation, also one of the few who could nurture four Heart Swords before turning thirty.

In the Outer World, He Jinqiu had always hidden his skills.

Since the founder, Hu Shuo, passed away, no one at the Hu’s Information Agency had been able to recreate the brilliant era of the twenty-four green jade smallswords.

But some say, if anyone could recreate that era, it would definitely be He Jinqiu.

Li Changqing calmly watched all this, with three powerhouses joining forces, whoever stood in their way was bound to die.

From the beginning, she knew the path to save Qing Chen would not be uneventful, simply because it involved too many people’s nerves, and this Federation never lacked those who would take advantage of chaos.

So, as soon as she got the news, she approached the leaders of both Kunlun and Kyushu, asking them to join in the rescue.

Fortunately, both agreed without hesitation upon hearing the news.

Li Changqing looked at Zheng Yuandong and said, “Thank you.”

Zheng Yuandong held his Black Knife obliquely and after a second of thought said, “Strictly speaking, Qing Chen is one of Kunlun’s people, you don’t have to thank me.”

Li Changqing was momentarily stunned. When had Qing Chen joined Kunlun? She controlled so many Time Travelers, yet she was not aware of this.
