Reversing Falsehood and Preserving Truth: All Gods and Gods Are in My Hands

"Zhao Lei!"

Su Wan's scream pierced the ringing in her ears after the rocket explosion, tearing through the smoke and dust with a sob. Before the scorching blast had even dissipated, she rushed recklessly toward the figure half-hidden by rubble at the foot of the cliff.

The vertical lines of insight in Chen Mo's eyes trembled violently, and his temples throbbed.

He forcibly suppressed his instinct to rush towards Zhao Lei, his gaze sweeping like a hawk over the area behind the shattered stone gate—amidst the swirling smoke and dust, a wide passage was faintly visible, several dark figures flashed rapidly behind alloy cover, muzzle flashes rose and fell in the dim light, and further away, a thick aura of illusion and blood mingled and surged, exuding an unsettling ferocity.

"Whoosh whoosh-!"

A dense hail of bullets poured out like a torrent, striking the tunnel walls and floor, sending up countless fragments of rock and sparks, the clatter of spent cartridge cases hitting the ground a continuous chorus. The enemy gave them no chance to breathe, clearly intending to wipe them out completely.

"Defend! Retreat to the flank behind the rocks!" Chen Mo's roar was filled with unwavering determination. At this moment, any hesitation would turn everyone into sitting ducks.

Almost the instant he opened his mouth, Han Bingshuo had already moved like a ghost, blocking the way in front of everyone. The old man's white hair danced wildly in the air currents created by the bullets, but his eyes were as cold as ancient ice. Without any extra gestures, he lightly stepped forward with his right foot, fully activating the Eternal Freeze Great Dao of the 5th-Star Transformation Realm.

"Crackling sound—"

Centered on his landing point, a wave of icy blue light rapidly spread across the ground. The ground, the rock walls, and even the dust suspended in the air froze the moment they touched the wave, solidifying into a three-inch-thick ice wall at the edge of the stone gate. The ice patterns flowed like ancient runes, gleaming with a cold, hard luster, exuding a pressure of absolute power. Bullets struck this suddenly rising ice wall, producing dull thuds and scattering ice shards everywhere.

At the same time, he made a fist with his right hand, and five three-foot-long ice spears condensed out of thin air. The spear tips gleamed with a cold blue light and shot towards the back of the stone gate like meteors with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ice spear struck the cover, exploding into a shower of ice spikes that momentarily halted the enemy's firepower.

The two Watchers didn't hesitate either, braving stray bullets to rush to Su Wan's side. The three of them worked together to drag Zhao Lei, who was half-buried in the rubble, behind a huge protruding rock. Chen Mo followed closely behind, crouching down behind the rock, his observation lines spinning rapidly, trying to see through the smoke and dust to get a clearer picture of the situation.

Zhao Lei's condition was terrible, but strangely—he didn't die.

Zhao Lei's clothes were charred and torn at the chest, revealing burn marks on his exposed skin. Dark red blood kept oozing from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained defiant, and his hoarse voice carried a fierce edge: "You son of a bitch...you dared to scheme against me!"

"This... to withstand a rocket attack... an ordinary person would have died three times already..." A Watcher stared at Zhao Lei's wound and couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Chen Mo stared at him, his eyes discerning a certain indescribable anomaly in the vertical lines.

Zhao Lei's body showed no trace of any Dao inheritance, yet his life energy structure was exceptionally resilient. Damage that should have been fatal was forcibly "locked" in localized areas by him in an almost brute force. He was previously immune to the devouring of ethereal spirits, and now he could even withstand the close-range explosion of a rocket. This special physique far exceeded common sense, yet no reasonable explanation could be found.

But now is not the time to study this.

Han Bingshuo maintained the ice wall, but Chen Mo could "see" that the old man's aura was slowly fading.

The permafrost highway already suffers immense losses in non-icy environments, and the continuous, concentrated firepower only exacerbates the situation. And the enemy—

"They are adjusting their formation."

Chen Mo lowered his voice, observing the vertical lines piercing through the ice wall and smoke, clearly capturing the energy flow behind the stone door. "There are at least fifteen of them. Guns are prohibited in China. Where did they get so many firearms?!"

Just then, Chen Mo's perception suddenly caught an extremely faint sound of rocks rubbing together. His pupils contracted sharply, and he looked behind him abruptly. "Above! There's something above the rock wall..."

Before the words were finished, the rock wall not far behind them suddenly collapsed with a roar, and rubble tumbled down like a waterfall. Several armed men in black slid down the ropes, their guns pointed at the ground below, forming a pincer movement with the enemies rushing out from behind the stone gate. The dense barrage of gun barrels compressed everyone's space to dodge to the extreme.

"Oh no, I'm doomed!"

A watchman, his face ashen, observed that the resistance of ordinary people seemed utterly futile in the face of the combined firepower of firepower from both sides.

Even more deadly, one of the men in black descending from above was carrying a dark green man-portable rocket launcher on his shoulder. The muzzle gleamed coldly in the dim light, slowly turning towards their direction.

Chen Mo was no longer able to think about what kind of mysterious organization it was, daring to use such a dense array of heavy weapons in the heart of Shennong Mountain, completely disregarding China's control system.

His brain was working at an unprecedented speed, frantically analyzing every detail: the thickness of the rock, the enemy's position, the strength of Senior Han's ice wall... and the structure of the rock wall above!

"Senior Han!"

Chen Mo shouted sharply, his voice filled with a do-or-die determination, "Three meters to the upper left, break through the rock face!"

Han Bingshuo didn't even turn around. The instant Chen Mo spoke, he maintained the ice wall with his left hand, and pointed his right hand, fingers together like a sword, in mid-air.

"laugh--"

A thin, hair-like icy blue beam shot out, precisely hitting the location Chen Mo had indicated. It was not a traditional attack, but the essence of the Eternal Freeze Path—a point-to-surface piercing of cold, instantly freezing the moisture and structure inside the rock strata.

At the same time, the man in black carrying the rocket launcher pulled the trigger.

The muzzle flashes, and time seems to stretch out.

Chen Mo could clearly see the blazing white flames that shot out as the rocket left the launch tube, he could see Su Wan looking up in despair, her fingertips flashing with a psychic silver light but powerless to do anything, he could see Zhao Lei struggling to sit up but only coughing up more blood, he could see Han Bingshuo's tense profile...

And Senior Han—

The instant the rocket was launched, Han Bingshuo withdrew most of the power maintaining the ice wall in front of him. The ice wall thinned and cracked at a visible speed. But all his spirit and all the power of the Great Dao gathered in the five fingers of his right hand at this moment.

His loosely clenched fingers suddenly tightened.

"Crack—Boom!!!"

The rock wall above, where it had been pierced by the power of eternal freezing, had its internal structure completely brittle under the extreme low temperature, and under the guidance of his Great Dao power—it finally collapsed.

Huge rocks rained down, covering the area where the enemies were rappelling down above and blocking the trajectory of the rockets.

"BOOM—!!!"

The rocket struck a falling boulder and exploded in mid-air. The fireball expanded, scattering fragments, but most of the force was absorbed by the rock. However, the shockwave from the explosion still swept through the entire space; Chen Mo felt a sharp pain in his eardrums as the blast slammed him against the rock wall.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and pebbles rained down.

As his vision cleared slightly, Chen Mo struggled to get up and quickly scanned the vertical lines.

The enemies rappelling down from above were struck and buried by collapsing rocks, their fate unknown. But the enemies behind the stone door seized the moment when Han Bingshuo's defenses were vulnerable—

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ice wall shattered completely. Bullets whistled through the air.

Han Bingshuo groaned, a burst of blood erupting from his shoulder, but he did not retreat at all. Instead, he took a step forward and pressed his hands down.

Centered on him, the temperature within a ten-meter radius plummeted. Thick frost instantly condensed on the ground, rock walls, and even on the surface of bullets flying through the air. The bullets' speed decreased drastically, their trajectories distorted, and they finally fell helplessly to the ground.

But this move had almost exhausted most of his remaining energy. Han Bingshuo's face was ashen, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he swayed slightly, clearly at his limit.

And what's worse is—

Chen Mo turned to look back at the way they had come, his heart sinking to the bottom. The explosion and landslide had completely buried the passage they had come from, and the mountains of boulders blocked all escape routes. The rock structure was severely damaged, making it impossible to dig through in a short time under these conditions.

Our escape route is cut off.
