My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"A backup plan?"

Xu Yuehua was slightly taken aback, and then looked around, noticing the more than one hundred soldiers stationed around the area.

Can……

People from the martial arts world gather here.

Moreover, very few of those who were able to obtain the Hidden Edge Token and come to Longhu Mountain were mediocre.

If a conflict really breaks out, ordinary soldiers and armored personnel will probably have a hard time gaining an advantage.

Xu Yuehua frowned slightly. Just as she looked away, she suddenly noticed several items covered by a black cloth.

These things have wheels underneath, and the ruts are deep in the mud; they look heavy.

What is that?

Heavy crossbow?

Although this object is quite powerful, it is extremely slow to operate.

It won't be that easy to injure a skilled martial arts master with agile movements!

"hehe!"

As Xu Yuehua pondered inwardly, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the people who had stepped forward, a smile appearing on his face: "It seems there are quite a few people who oppose me!"

"But right now you're all mixed up together, it's hard to tell the difference!"

"How about this? Do any of you who oppose me dare to step forward and stand in my position?!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai took the initiative to walk down from the open space and retreat to the side.

This action left many people around looking on with puzzled expressions.

Is Jiang Xiaobai planning to gather all those who oppose him together?

What's the purpose?

Could it be that Jiang Xiaobai intends to suppress them all at once?

Yu Shangwu also didn't understand, but he still stayed close to Jiang Xiaobai in case someone suddenly attacked.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

At this moment, Li Jingxing sneered and walked over first.

"King Xing!"

Li Jingfeng, being somewhat more composed, couldn't help but speak up upon seeing Li Jingxing's reaction.

Yes, he always felt that something was strange about this.

"Don't worry, big brother!"

Li Jingxing smiled faintly: "I'd like to see what tricks Jiang Xiaobai can pull here!"

After hearing this, Li Jingfeng hesitated for a moment, but eventually took Li Jingren and went up as well.

After the three men stood in front, Li Jingxing's cold voice rang out again: "Gentlemen, does someone who doesn't even know martial arts dare to preside over the Dragon-Tiger Fight?"

"What qualifications does he have to be the commander of the vanguard?!"

"That's right, a battle between a dragon and a tiger is a matter for the martial arts world. Why should a son of an official interfere?"

"If you want to be a Vanguard Envoy, you should at least demonstrate convincing strength!"

As a chorus of agreement rang out, those who had stepped forward earlier began to walk toward Li Jingxing's location.

As more and more people voiced their opposition, Li Jingxing's smile grew even wider.

At this moment, Li Jingxing suddenly noticed the Northern Yu delegation not far away and immediately said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, aren't you coming over?"

"No!"

As Helian Zhaoyue shook her head in refusal, she glanced at the soldiers and armored soldiers stationed around her.

Upon seeing this, Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed.

Suddenly, the soldiers and armored vehicles began to move, and several heavy objects covered in black cloth silently adjusted their direction.

Beneath the black cloth, the thick, long outline pointed to the area where Li Jingxing and the others were located!

hiss!

Helian Zhaoyue gasped.

Helian Mingchuan naturally noticed it as well, and a slight sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Li Jingxing didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them; instead, he looked at the remaining martial arts practitioners.

"Those of you who haven't stepped forward, are you really planning to support Jiang Xiaobai and become the vanguard commander?"

As soon as those words were spoken, another dozen or so people walked over.

In a short time, those who opposed Jiang Xiaobai had already made up a third of the audience.

Among the remaining people, some wanted to avoid trouble, while others were there to watch the spectacle.

Of course, there are also people who disdain to stand there.

Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, did not urge him and waited patiently.

Seeing that no one was moving, Jiang Xiaobai turned his head and waved to Zhang Xinnian: "Come on, Xinnian, go and bring me a cannon!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian grinned and excitedly waved to the soldiers behind him.

The clattering sound of the wheel axles filled the air.

Several soldiers worked together to push a cannon to Jiang Xiaobai's side.

Wow!

As Zhang Xinnian raised his hand and pulled, the black cloth fell down, revealing the thick, dark cannon barrel to everyone.

"Um?"

Everyone present looked over.

The thick iron cylinder with wooden wheels looked really strange.

What is this?

"So, this must be your son-in-law's backup plan, right?"

Beside Xu Yuehua, the middle-aged woman curiously examined the cannon, her expression even more puzzled: "But, can such a lump of iron really intimidate so many people?"

Xu Yuehua didn't speak because she couldn't understand it either.

At this moment, atop the mountain, Chen Songhan looked down and frowned as well.

"Sect Leader Chu!"

Chen Songhan turned his head to look at the woman in the white dress beside him and asked, "Do you know what that is?"

"I don't know!"

The woman in the white dress gently shook her head, her cool gaze falling on the dark cannon barrel: "This is the first time I've seen one like this either!"

That's right, although she often went to the Jiang family's house at night.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a thing, and for a moment, a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Huo Zhezi!"

At this moment, Zhang Xinnian took out a tinderbox from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai took it with a bright smile, and as he bent down, he brought the tinder close to his face.

呲......

As sparks flew, the slender tinder quickly ignited.

Li Jingxing frowned, about to ask Jiang Xiaobai what kind of mystery he was playing, when a deafening explosion suddenly erupted.

boom!

Flames erupted from the cannon muzzle, and the shell, carrying terrifying force, shot through the air.

next moment.

With a loud bang, the smooth stone wall above Li Jingxing and the others suddenly shattered.

Soil mixed with gravel flew everywhere, and a deep pit appeared above.

"Gulp!"

He Changgeng, standing in the crowd, swallowed hard.

He knows this thing... way too well!

After all, he had been bombarded once at Tianfeng Restaurant.

At the summit, Chen Songhan felt a terrifying tremor beneath his feet, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Looking at the deep pit and then at the cannons below the mountain, Chen Songhan was speechless for a long time.

For the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on the calm face of the woman in the white dress.

What kind of organization is this?

It was actually able to unleash such terrifying power!

Amidst horrified gazes, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the deep pit in the stone wall, a helpless expression on his face.

"Oops, sorry, I missed!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and pointed at Li Jingxing and the others, whose faces were pale: "Come on, soldiers, listen to my command! All cannons, aim them at them!"

"Hmph, I refuse to believe that so many cannons could all miss their mark!?"

"yes!"

More than a hundred soldiers responded in unison.

Amidst the heavy clicking sounds, cannons simultaneously adjusted their directions.

Immediately afterwards, all the black cloths covering it were neatly lifted.

A row of dark cannon muzzles was now revealed, all pointed in the direction of the opponents...
