Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"Resistance is impossible, surrender is not an option, run!"

The sound came from near and then receded into the distance, quickly becoming indistinct.

Sha Po Lang stood there, somewhat bewildered.

He belatedly realized that his good brother Beidou had run away. Now, he had to face these Chinese people alone.

This is truly a dilemma where one can neither advance nor retreat.

"Heroes, spare my life! I was blind to your greatness before. Please give me a chance to make amends. I know a lot of information about Japan. My survival will bring you more value." At this moment, Sha Po Lang chose to submit in order to save his life.

He had indeed thought about dying a spectacular death.

But his best friend abandoned him.

This situation chilled Sha Po Lang to the bone. He also felt it wasn't worth dying like this. Better to live a wretched life than die; living is always better than dying. If you die, you have nothing; if you live, there's still hope. This was merely a delaying tactic to survive temporarily, part of the plan. Only by surviving could he provide intelligence to the Sakura Kingdom!
He had already come up with a reason for himself.

Giving in is for the sake of contributing more to Japan.

I'll become a spy and secretly transmit intelligence about these Chinese people.

Thinking about it this way, he felt much better and accepted his surrender. However, no matter what, Sha Po Lang was still very afraid; he didn't know what his fate would be.

Is it useful to back down?
If you back down, will others necessarily accept it?
Now, all Sha Po Lang cares about is surviving; he doesn't care about anything else. As long as he can survive, anything is negotiable, even giving up his dignity is no problem.

Just live.

There is still hope.

"Yes, this person is definitely more valuable to us if he survives."

"Then let him live for now. If you behave well, I might choose to let you live as well. However, you will lose your freedom in the future," Lin Beichen said casually.

He was speaking to his own people, and also to Sha Po Lang in front of him.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.

The current Sha Po Lang may have indeed done some things he shouldn't have.

But what good would killing him do? Killing him would still cause problems with the dragon vein.

The dragon vein mentioned here does not only refer to the dragon vein in Longhu Mountain.

There are also dragon veins in other places.

Therefore, keeping him is of great use.

He definitely knows more information than the people present.

People from Japan always know more than outsiders.

"What do you think?"

Of course, Lin Beichen still needs to respect other people's opinions.

He then asked a question, and the others expressed their understanding and agreement.

The main reason is that Lin Beichen had already established his authority from the beginning, and no one else dared to contradict him.

"Thank you very much."

"I, Sha Polang, will definitely follow your lead."

"From now on, I will be my master's dog. If my master tells me to go east, I will never go west; if my master tells me to go north, I will never go south. In short, I will do whatever my master says. I will go through fire and water without hesitation. My existence is solely to serve my master."

Sha Po Lang was really going all out to survive.

That's something that gives me goosebumps.

Lin Beichen, after all, was a man who had seen a lot of things and was not disgusted.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. I know you want to live. I didn't say I was going to kill you. As long as you cooperate with me and make enough contributions in the following operations, I can decide to let you live and give you a respectable identity in China."

He didn't make empty promises to Sha Po Lang.

The Sha Po Lang in front of us is no fool either.

Making empty promises is of no use to him.

The man in front of him, Sha Po Lang, just wanted a chance to live.

If he reveals all the information because of his concerns, he will die.

If someone is worried about dying once they've lost their usefulness, then Sha Po Lang might hold back a trump card.

Whether Sha Po Lang lives or dies is not important to Lin Beichen.

The fact that the other party is alive can actually provide more information.

In this situation, it would be better to let him live, but at the same time, it should be done willingly.

It was precisely because of Lin Beichen's sincerity that Sha Po Lang chose to submit.

If Lin Beichen is the kind of person who discards someone after they've served their purpose, then Sha Po Lang will only feign compliance.

Similarly, Sha Po Lang knew that Lin Beichen was not someone to be easily fooled. If he harbored any intention to cheat or deceive, his ultimate fate would definitely not be good. So it was best to be honest.

"Haha, luckily I ran fast."

Beidou couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If he hadn't run fast, he probably would be in grave danger right now.

If we don't run, we're doomed; if we run, we have a chance of survival.

For example, in the current situation, Beidou has not seen anyone lying in ambush nearby.

He had been overthinking things. Those people from Longhu Mountain were far too naive; he had overestimated them. If he had known from the beginning that things would be like this, he really would have taken Sha Po Lang with him.

But if we really go together, those other people will definitely catch up.

Only by leaving one person behind to buy time can there be any hope of escape.

Good brothers are those you're willing to sacrifice for in crucial moments.

Even in a situation where defeat is inevitable, facing an enemy does not mean there is no chance of survival.

It doesn't matter if you can't outrun the enemy, as long as you can outrun your teammates.

"Brother, I'm really sorry. When I get back, I'll take good care of your wife, children, and elderly parents." The relationship between Beidou and Sha Polang goes without saying.

The fact that the two can cooperate so closely speaks volumes.

At this moment, Beidou felt somewhat indebted.

That's why he was able to say something like, "I will take care of your wife."

But before he could gloat for long, he noticed the atmosphere around him had become unusually oppressive. Then, he saw many people from Longhu Mountain dressed in yellow Taoist robes appear around him. Among them was a woman with her hands and feet bound; he recognized this woman.

Isn't this his contact person?
Isn't this the Dawn Moon?

Seeing that Li Mingyue was now under control, he knew everything. It seemed that Longhu Mountain had indeed discovered their operation and caught them red-handed.

I can only blame myself for being too greedy before.

If I had chosen to retreat when I received the message earlier, things wouldn't be like this now.

It can only be said that they brought this upon themselves.

But in fact, they were just one step away from success.

Ultimately, it can only be said that bad luck struck. On Chinese soil, caution is always necessary. Rashness and greed are unacceptable. Beidou also regrets its previous decisions.

However, it's too late to regret it.

"Gentlemen, please give me a chance to live. I am a good person."

With a thud, Beidou knelt down. He didn't want to die; he believed there was still hope for him to be saved.

Raising both hands high above the head is to show that one has no malicious intent.

It's a pity he wasn't as lucky as Sha Po Lang.

The birdsong he spoke was completely incomprehensible to the people of Longhu Mountain.

The people of Longhu Mountain only know that the person in front of them is the culprit who destroyed the dragon vein of Longhu Mountain.

Moreover, several of their predecessors from Longhu Mountain died near the dragon vein of Longhu Mountain.

What an irony! And they held their elders in such high esteem. To die so inexplicably, their bodies left to rot in the wilderness—how could they possibly bear it?

"kill him."

"Kill him," someone said.

Immediately afterwards, people began to respond.

“This beast…kill him! Avenge our martial uncle! These beasts killed our martial uncle and our master…” Many children born and raised in Longhu Mountain grew up there. They considered Longhu Mountain their home, and their martial uncle and master became their family.

Once a teacher, always a father.

The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.

My uncle-master could tolerate it, but my aunt-master couldn't.

That's the current situation; nobody can swallow this insult.

"Waaaaah, my master died so tragically! Master, you're gone, how can your disciple live?" Men don't easily shed tears, but only when they are truly heartbroken. Some people started crying as they thought about it, but after only a few sobs, their grief hadn't lasted long before the crying stopped abruptly.

"You son of a bitch, am I your master? Are you just hoping I die?!" Having such a filial son and grandson is truly his blessing. Dongfang Tianya was almost speechless.

He never expected his disciple to be so honest and straightforward.

At this point, Dongfang Tianya was already planning to clean house.

Can an apprentice like this still be trained?

"Master, I know I was wrong, sob sob sob."

The child was pleasantly surprised to discover that his master was not dead.

At the same time, he knew he had said the wrong thing, and many people around him were amused and annoyed by his antics.

That's incredibly filial piety.

The oppressive atmosphere was somewhat relieved.

But Beidou still felt scared; something seemed wrong.
The people at Longhu Mountain were both crying and laughing, which really frightened him.

Do I still have a chance to survive?

Honestly, Beidou also believes that he doesn't deserve to have survived.

He had killed quite a few people from Longhu Mountain, and he could tell from their expressions of crying and laughing. It must be a mixture of sadness and anger; he was probably doomed.

"I still have value to you, give me a chance."

Beidou, clinging to its last glimmer of hope, uttered these words.

However, his expression soon became subtle.

Only now is he beginning to realize that something is wrong.

These Chinese people seemed unable to understand what he was saying.

Doesn't that mean my pleas for mercy were useless?
The Chinese people in front of him had no idea what he had just said. In that case, he was likely doomed; it seemed there was no chance of recovery.

In fact it is.

You still want to live? That's utterly ridiculous.

They don't even look at what outrageous things they've done.

To still want to beg for mercy at a time like this shows a complete lack of self-awareness.

"Beat him to death!"

"Kill him."

"We must get revenge!!!"

The faces of the crowd gradually became distorted and terrifying.

The disciples of Longhu Mountain were all filled with anger and hatred, their eyes seeming capable of tearing people to pieces.

"I must take revenge."

“For my master, for my uncle, I absolutely cannot let him live.”

As the last word "death" was uttered, everyone could no longer suppress their killing intent and rushed towards Beidou, who had already given up resistance and was kneeling on the ground.

It's not that BeiDou doesn't want to resist.

In such circumstances, resistance is utterly futile.

Resisting might lead to a more painful death, while not resisting might allow for a slightly more peaceful passing.

The Beidou system of the past may indeed have embodied some of the spirit of Bushido.

Anyone can spout flowery words before they've truly faced death.

But once you truly experience the suffocating feeling before death, you won't have so many thoughts. For him, death might be a relief compared to the process of waiting for it. What followed was truly horrific; Beidou died a very tragic death.

However, no one noticed.

The overall structure of Longhu Mountain has changed.

Perhaps due to the covert manipulation by the Japanese, a faint trace of bloodlust has been added to the dragon vein's energy at Longhu Mountain. However, judging from the current situation, this doesn't seem to have caused any significant impact.

The stench of blood seemed to only intensify the murderous intent of the people from Longhu Mountain.

That's why they were so brutal just now.

In the past, even if they harbored hatred, they wouldn't have been so cruel.

Compared to such cruel methods, they have always preferred to solve problems cleanly and efficiently.

Compared to Beidou's tragic end, Sha Polang's situation was somewhat better. At this point, he had officially reached an agreement with Lin Beichen. The other Longhu Mountain disciples, however, stared at Sha Polang with scrutinizing eyes, harboring no goodwill towards him.

In their eyes, this guy might have been stained with the blood of Longhu Mountain disciples.

Faced with such hostile gazes from the crowd, Sha Po Lang hurriedly explained:
"I didn't kill any of your people from Longhu Mountain; it was my companions who did it. My main task was to destroy the dragon vein, but as you saw, you arrived before I succeeded." At this moment, Sha Po Lang tried his best to excuse his previous actions.

In fact, the dragon vein has already been affected.

But he certainly won't admit it.

He also pinned all the blame for the murder on Beidou.

He didn't lay a hand on anyone, and even if he did, he would never admit it.

Anyway, Beidou is dead.

He's the only one there now.

In this situation, he naturally said whatever he wanted.

Moreover, Beidou is dead, which makes it impossible to prove what Sha Po Lang did. All they need to do is put the blame on Beidou.

"If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have discovered these problems. This is a huge hidden danger for Longhu Mountain, and it has already caused considerable casualties."

"So, this person is yours to handle. I have no objections." (End of Chapter)
