The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

The power of bloodlust burned like flames.

"It really works!" Zhou Ming exclaimed with delight.

Unexpectedly, the incomplete version of the alien created using the Blood Fiend Talisman could also be used as material for the Blood Fiend Demon Blade.

"However, only limbs severed while the demonic soldier is alive can be used. Otherwise, the moment the demonic soldier dies, it will plunder all the essence of the body and return it to the Blood Fiend Talisman," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

A moment later, the snow-white Blood Fiend Blade appeared before their eyes, and the second batch of half-dead Japanese soldiers were also brought over.

Enveloped in the power of bloodlust, the second forging process began, and the second Bloodlust Demon Blade was forged using the same method.

As dawn broke, the gunfire ceased.

Zhou Ming stood before a blood-red pattern, and a leg bone was continuously being refined into the Blood Fiend Demon Blade.

"This is the twentieth Blood Fiend Demon Blade. Adding the one we had before, that's 21, enough to synthesize another Blood Soul Blade." Zhou Ming slowly exhaled, looking at the dimly lit surroundings.

Not long after the battle began in the latter half of the night, the Japanese soldiers in the rear had already fled, and then half of the Japanese soldiers under Zhou, the driver of the command post, also fled.

There are almost no living Japanese soldiers left on this position.

"Kamo Shinroku, notify all the Blood Demon soldiers that they can begin refining the corpses. Also, check if any are still feigning death." Zhou Ming looked at Kamo Shinroku in the distance and gave the order directly.

Chapter 72 The Imminent Fall of Luodian

Zhou Ming also joined the search; these corpses could not be wasted and had to be disposed of before dawn.

Otherwise, when the bombers came, many corpses would be blown to pieces.

Before long, it was fully light.

"Buzz!"

"Why is there so little?" Zhou Ming looked at the distant sky, somewhat puzzled.

This time there were only three planes, which is far too few.

"Everyone, take cover in the trenches." After giving the order, Zhou Ming took cover in the trenches himself, frowning slightly as he watched the approaching bombers.

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Nomura Jiichi immediately spotted the six bloody figures flying towards him.

"Hmph! Still not giving up?" Nomura Jiichi pointed a finger, and arrows of energy flew out.

"Bang bang bang!" The Blood Eagles were all shot to pieces.

As long as it's not low altitude, Nomura Niichi isn't afraid at all.

Nomura Jiichi suddenly reached out and rubbed his left shoulder, recalling that encounter.

“That move shouldn’t be able to be used continuously, otherwise I wouldn’t have had a chance to escape,” Nomura Jiichi said.

Looking down at the position below, Nomura Jiichi's eyes quickly locked onto Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming's keen intuition immediately caught on, and he adjusted his gaze to lock onto the plane that Nomura Jiichi was sitting on, his blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Is he really 19? How can such a young guy have such terrifying strength?" Nomura Jiichi's jealousy burned like a raging fire.

Even without considering his explosive state of a blue-red blood dragon, this brat is no match for Nomura Jiichi.

But this guy is only 19 years old. Now, thinking back on the boast he made earlier, Nomura Jiichi suddenly felt a toothache.

"Is he destined to be a celestial being, or am I destined to be a celestial being?" Nomura Jiichi wondered.

Below, Zhou Ming crouched in the trench, looking at the plane that had flown away again with a puzzled expression.

"Not bombing? What are these little devils up to?"

"Investigate?" Wang Wen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Ming's heart stirred, and the power of bloodlust surged within him, causing six blood eagles to soar into the air.

It spread outwards, surveying the entire battlefield.

On the other side of Luodian, Japanese heavy artillery was constantly bombarding the entire front line. The National Army had been forced into the town, and the defenses outside the town had all been captured.

A large Japanese battalion appeared in the distance to Zhou Ming's right, setting up camp without any sign of attack.

"Insufficient manpower?" Zhou Ming suddenly said, a thought flashing through his mind.

Wang Wen, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "The Japanese are short-staffed?"

"Hmm! But it should be temporary, and only in Luodian." Zhou Ming said as he recalled.

Although the Japanese invasion was premeditated, the start of the war was hasty and sudden, leaving insufficient time for troop mobilization.

After multiple troop reinforcements, the number eventually reached over 22.

"That's good too, it means the Japanese devils we killed had an effect," Wang Wen said with a smile.

Zhou Ming looked toward the other side of Luodian, where the sounds of gunfire continued to rang out.

“Everyone has been fighting hard for two days. Let’s take this opportunity to rest and then go after the Japanese tonight.” Wang Wen said, glancing at the exhausted Ranger and Electromagnetic Cannon.

“Okay, I also need to improve my strength.” Zhou Ming nodded and said.

With Zhou Ming's order, both the Ranger and the Electromagnetic Cannon breathed a sigh of relief.

The 37 surviving vampire soldiers were divided into two teams to take turns resting.

The remaining 114 Blood Demon Soldiers remained on guard; Zhou Ming didn't treat them like human beings.

Zhou Ming sat cross-legged, his mind entering his body. Within the blood river, 49 soul bloods flickered with light, 12 of which contained triangular runes.

Thirty-two blood-fiend talismans floated on the blood river, drifting with the current.

Exhaling, Zhou Ming opened his eyes, surrounded by 21 Blood Fiend Demon Blades.

With seven Blood Fiend Demon Blades forming a group, Zhou Ming began the fusion and advancement process.

After an unknown amount of time, three blood-red scythes floated in front of Zhou Ming.

The crimson light began to merge, and the second advancement began.

Once the fusion was complete, the second Blood Soul Demon Blade appeared before them.

While Zhou Ming completed his second Blood Soul Demon Blade, He Mao and his group's strength immediately increased.

Blood flowed from Kamo Shinroku's body, refining into numerous Blood Fiend Demon Blades, which were eventually combined into a Blood Fiend Scythe.

The original crimson soul appeared in his hand, and the Blood Fiend Scythe flew beside him.

It's not that my actual strength has reached its peak and can't grow any further; it's just that I've consumed too much blood and need some time to recover.

The other Japanese aliens, who were already powerful, also made breakthroughs.

“37 Blood Demon Soldiers, three of them are at the fourth rank, 13 at the third rank, and 21 at the second rank. After another battle, if there are any more at the second rank, let them go to their deaths.” Zhou Ming glanced at the Blood Demon Soldiers and thought to himself.

Just then, a fragrant aroma wafted over.

Zhou Ming looked over, smiled, and said, "Brother Wen, your skills are still the best. You can make these broken canned goods smell so good."

"What are you saying? This is meat, after all. How can it not be delicious?" Wang Wen said while fiddling with the pickled vegetables and luncheon meat in the simple iron pot.

“That’s not necessarily true.” Zhou Ming sat down next to him.

The food was ready in no time. After cooking all night and all morning, Zhou Ming, despite being an extraordinary person, was starving and immediately began to wolf down the food.

Suddenly, Zhou Ming frowned and looked at Luo Dian.

"What's wrong?" Wang Wen swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.

"The Japanese have entered Luodian," Zhou Ming said in a deep voice.

"Should we go and help?" Wang Wen asked, putting down his chopsticks.

"How can we provide support? We can barely hold onto even a small position, how can we defend the entire front? We can't do things we're not good at," Zhou Ming said very calmly.

"We can't let the success at night blind us. We risked our lives during the day to hold onto each small position, even if it meant sacrificing the lives of the Japanese devils." Zhou Ming pointed to the small position outside Luodian they had previously held and said.

"But at night, a few hundred of us can take down a position that has thousands of men, so like I said, wait until night."

Wang Wen glanced at Luodian, where the gunfire and artillery fire were growing increasingly intense, nodded, and continued eating.

Zhou Ming was not cold-hearted; he simply knew how to maximize his effectiveness and inflict greater damage on the Japanese.

Suddenly, some noisy sounds arose from a distance.

The wandering swordsman quickly ran over and whispered to Zhou Ming, "Boss, a battalion commander over there is asking us to go to Luo's shop to provide support."

"Tell him we suffered heavy losses last night and need to rest. We'll continue our attack on the Japanese tonight," Zhou Ming said, then continued eating.

"Boss, I've already told him all this, but that guy doesn't want to leave. He's making a huge scene, and we almost had to shoot him," the Ranger said cautiously, head bowed.

"Bring him over!" Zhou Ming paused for a moment, then said while eating.

Chapter 73: The Gradually Revealed Intelligence

A battalion commander, his face covered in dust and radiating anger, rushed over and shouted, "Zhou Ming! Do you know how important Luodian is? What exactly are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ming looked over expressionlessly, his eyes radiating coldness, which made the battalion commander freeze in place, unable to utter a single word.

Without using any abilities, just standing there, Zhou Ming exudes immense pressure.

His murderous aura and killing intent grew stronger with each battle and slaughter.

"See these little devils? Although I don't treat them like human beings, do you know how to maximize their benefits?" Zhou Ming didn't answer, but instead pointed to the Blood Demon Soldiers and said.

"During the day, they were at their limit if they could take on two Japanese soldiers with a machine gun."

Low-level Qi is useless against bullets. Being able to trade one for two shows complete fearlessness, especially with the added boost from Blood Fiend power.

"But at night, each of them could kill at least five Japanese soldiers."

“But Luodian is about to be captured, and here…” the battalion commander said through gritted teeth.

“I know this place is important, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take it back once it’s been occupied. It’s not exactly an easy place to defend or attack,” Zhou Ming interrupted.

"The choice between day and night is more important than the position itself, and the same applies to your legion."

The battalion commander certainly knew this, after all, he was the one who led the team to retake the lost positions bit by bit every night.

"The 19th Army's reinforcements are arriving soon. If we can hold out until the afternoon, we can defend Luodian."

Zhou Ming frowned deeply. The difference in their thoughts actually stemmed from the difference in their physical abilities.
