Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

’I have to find a way to win with a surprise attack!’

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Chang’an’s mind.

”Bai, can you jam their comms system?”

Li Chang’an shouted.

”I can try, but I need time!”

Bai Lin replied.

”Buy me time! Sun Yang, cover me! Ruo Xi, Qiuyue, get ready to back me up!”

Li Chang’an shouted his orders.

”Understood!”

The squad members replied in unison, immediately moving to follow Li Chang’an’s orders.

Bai Lin went all out, attempting to jam the Black Blood Mercenaries’ comms and sever their connection.

Sun Yang hefted his Pulse Gun and opened fire, laying down a fierce barrage against the Black Blood Mercenaries. He drew their attention, providing cover for Li Chang’an’s advance.

Han Ruoxi and Shen Qiuyue stuck close behind Li Chang’an, ready to support his every move.

Li Chang’an took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening. Then, like a cheetah, he shot forward.

”Trying to run? It won’t be that easy!”

Seeing Li Chang’an’s move, Scarface instantly understood his intent. With a savage grin, he ordered the Black Blood Mercenaries to focus all their fire on Li Chang’an.

A torrent of countless bullets, shells, and Energy Beams rained down on Li Chang’an, threatening to tear him to pieces.

But Li Chang’an was too fast, his Body Technique too nimble. He moved like a phantom, weaving through the storm of gunfire, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow with every step.

His figure closed in on the Black Blood Mercenaries as fast as Lightning.

”What? How is this kid so fast!”

Scarface’s expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

He had originally thought Li Chang’an was just some kid, not worth a second thought.

But now, it was clear he had completely underestimated Li Chang’an’s strength.

’This kid... he’s a monster!’

”Stop him! Quick! Stop him!”

Scarface roared himself hoarse, commanding the Black Blood Mercenaries to stop Li Chang’an’s advance at all costs.

But it was too late.

Li Chang’an was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was upon the Black Blood Mercenaries.

The Saw Chain Sword struck like a venomous snake. With a flash of the blade, blood splattered.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Several Black Blood Mercenaries were hacked to pieces by the Saw Chain Sword before they could even react, collapsing in pools of their own blood.

Li Chang’an was a tiger among sheep, cutting a swath through the Black Blood Mercenaries. Flesh flew and screams echoed wherever his Saw Chain Sword passed.

Terrified by Li Chang’an’s ferocious assault, the Black Blood Mercenaries scrambled back, not daring to press forward again.

”Monster! He’s a monster!”

The Black Blood Mercenaries shrieked in terror, their eyes filled with fear.

”Scared now? It’s too late!”

Li Chang’an sneered, his assault growing even more ferocious. He swung his Saw Chain Sword like a whirlwind, reaping the lives of the Black Blood Mercenaries.

Han Ruoxi and Shen Qiuyue seized the opportunity to charge in, coordinating with Li Chang’an in a frenzied slaughter of the Black Blood Mercenaries.

Han Ruoxi’s Electric Superpower was devastating. Arcs of lightning shot out, paralyzing the Black Blood Mercenaries and rendering them powerless.

Shen Qiuyue’s Swordsmanship was exquisite. Her blade flashed like the Scythe of Death, harvesting the lives of the Black Blood Mercenaries.

Sun Yang’s Pulse Gun also played a crucial role. Beams of Pulse Energy shot out, destroying the Black Blood Mercenaries’ heavy weapons and alleviating the pressure on Li Chang’an and his team.

Meanwhile, Bai Lin provided long-range support from the rear. His light weapon was precise and deadly, systematically picking off the Black Blood Mercenaries’ ranged gunners and dismantling their firepower advantage.

The Insect Hunter Squad’s coordination was flawless and their combat prowess was immense. The Black Blood Mercenaries were no match for them at all.

The battle didn’t last long before the Black Blood Mercenaries completely broke. They threw down their weapons and knelt, begging for mercy.

”Don’t kill us! Please, don’t kill us! We surrender! We surrender!”

The Black Blood Mercenaries wailed and pleaded, their voices filled with Despair and terror.

Scarface had also been struck down by Li Chang’an’s sword. Grievously wounded, he lay on the ground, barely breathing.

”Surrender? Hmph. You pirates think you deserve to surrender?”

Shen Qiuyue sneered, her eyes filled with disgust.

”Miss, don’t... don’t kill me... I... I can give you lots of money... so much money...”

Scarface said weakly, trying to bribe Shen Qiuyue.

”Money? You think I’d be interested in your filthy money?”

Shen Qiuyue’s tone grew even colder. She raised her sword, its tip aimed at Scarface’s head.

”No... don’t...”

Scarface let out a wail of Despair.

”Stop!”

Li Chang’an suddenly called out, stopping Shen Qiuyue in her tracks.

Shen Qiuyue froze, turning to look at Li Chang’an with confusion in her eyes.

”Captain, why?”

”Keep him alive. He’s still useful,”

Li Chang’an said, his icy gaze fixed on Scarface.

”Pirate chief, I have some questions for you. Who built this base? And what are you doing here?”

Li Chang’an asked, his voice as cold as ice, sending a chill down the spine.

Scarface trembled, his eyes filled with terror. Not daring to try any more tricks, he hurriedly and honestly answered.

”It... it was... our boss... Blackbeard... who built it... We... we’re here... conducting... illegal trades...”

”Illegal trades? What are you trading?”

Li Chang’an pressed.

”All sorts of... contraband... weapons... drugs... people... We trade in everything...”
