Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

A violent explosion resounded outside the passage.

The massive shockwave rushed directly into the underground hall through the narrow passage.

The half-meter-thick lead-core iron door was twisted and deformed by the directional blast.

The heavy iron door snapped off its hinges and crashed onto the dusty cement floor with a deafening thud.

The entire hall was instantly filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and the thick dust completely blocked the beams of all the flashlights.

Chen Yang held Shen Man tightly behind the door of the dark room.

He forcefully covered Shen Man's ears with his palms, pressing her head firmly against his strong chest to block out most of the explosive echo.

Shen Man could clearly feel the steady and powerful heartbeat in Chen Yang's chest.

The sense of security she had never experienced before stirred up a strange feeling in her heart in this dark underground space.

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Gang, unable to hold it in, inhaled a puff of dust and coughed lightly twice.

Chen Yang slapped the metal wall of the darkroom with his backhand, making a very soft warning sound.

"Stop it. If you want to die, go out and die yourself. Don't drag us both down with you."

Zhao Gang quickly covered his mouth tightly, his face turning purple from holding it in, and dared not make a sound.

The sound of synchronized tactical footsteps could be heard outside the hall.

A dozen or so men in black, wearing gas masks and carrying automatic rifles with infrared night vision scopes, walked into the hall, stepping on the gravel.

The leader was a tall foreign man with a cross-shaped scar near his eye. His name was Jack, and he was the captain of the squad.

He made a tactical hand signal.

A dozen or so red laser beams immediately swept back and forth in the hall, searching for any surviving targets.

"Captain, we haven't seen anyone alive. There are signs of destruction everywhere."

One of the team members with a gun lowered his voice and reported in English.

Jack walked up to the corpses of the two mutated dogs whose necks had been snapped by Chen Yang.

He crouched down and pinched the monster's broken jawbone with his tactical gloved hand, his face turning grim.

"Killed instantly; his neck was completely crushed."

"The opponent is a close-combat expert. This strength is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. Everyone, be on your guard."

Jack stood up, his gaze sweeping over the smashed wooden crates before finally settling on the direction of the dark room.

"Go check out that small room over there."

"Don't miss any corner. If you find any living creature, shoot it immediately. Don't leave any survivors."

Two men in black immediately drew their guns and crept toward the dark room from the left and right.

In a dark room.

Li Qiang had already disengaged the safety on his sidearm, and his palms were sweaty.

Chen Yang reached out a hand and pressed down on the barrel of his gun.

He whispered the next tactical instructions in a voice that only four people could hear.

"Leave these two little Karamis to me. None of you should fire a shot. If you fire here, the muzzle flash will make the other side an easy target."

Shen Man tugged at his clothes in his arms and looked up at him.

"Don't be reckless. They're carrying specially made armor-piercing rounds. Do you think your Tai Chi can stop bullets?"

Chen Yang looked down at those watery eyes.

In this dark and gloomy environment, Shen Man's somewhat worried yet proud appearance was incredibly alluring.

"What, Commander Shen, are you feeling sorry for me?"

"If I can't stop the bullets and die here, will you cry for me for days?"

Enraged, Shen Man reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard.

"Go to hell! Who cares about you? I'm just afraid that if you die, we won't be able to get out."

Chen Yang gasped in pain.

"The most vicious heart is that of a woman! You just stay here and behave yourself, and I'll show you how to get revenge for you."

The footsteps of the two men in black had reached the door of the dark room.

A red laser sight swept along the crack in the door and into the floor of the darkroom.

In those fractions of a second when the metal door was kicked open.

Chen Yang made a move.

He glided across the ground like a black bat, without making a sound, and glided directly to the door of the dark room.

The man in black walking in front hadn't yet seen what was happening inside the dark room.

I felt a pair of icy hands grab my wrist as I held the gun.

Chen Yang twisted downwards in the process.

The black-clad man's arm bones cracked with a crisp sound, and the automatic rifle in his hand fell to the ground.

Chen Yang caught the rifle steadily with his other hand, and without even looking, he slammed the butt of the rifle backward, hitting the black-clad man behind him squarely in the chin.

The man didn't even utter a sound before all his teeth were smashed, and he fell backward.

The man in black in front was about to speak up to warn them.

Chen Yang directly pointed a finger at his acupoint for speech, and then slapped the back of his neck with a palm.

The two of them instantly collapsed to the ground, the whole process taking less than two seconds, swift and decisive.

The hall was too dusty, and Jack couldn't see what was happening at the entrance to the darkroom at all, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Number three, number four, report the situation."

Jack growled into the communicator.

There was no response from the headphones except for a hissing sound.

Jack immediately raised his hand in a defensive stance.

"Enemy attack, 2 o'clock position, open fire at will!"

Ten automatic rifles simultaneously spat out long tongues of fire towards the dark room.

A dense hail of bullets struck the corrugated iron walls of the darkroom, sending up a series of dazzling sparks.

Chen Yang was not even standing at the door of the dark room.

The instant he knocked the two men unconscious, he used his "Dragon Steps" to circle around to the flank of the group, taking advantage of the wooden crates scattered throughout the hall.

"Are you foreigners all blind? What are you doing pointing at the wall?"

Chen Yang's lazy voice rang out from the left corner of the hall.

Jack turned his gun around and unleashed a flurry of fire in the direction the sound was coming from.

The bullets riddled several old, abandoned generators with holes, and oil spilled all over the ground.

"They're over there, let's outflank them!"

The four black-clad team members quickly split into two groups and moved to surround the place where Chen Yang had spoken.

They had just reached the oil-leaking generator.

Chen Yang appeared as if he had crawled out of the ground, suddenly appearing on the load-bearing iron frame above their heads.

"I'm here, what are you looking at?"

Chen Yang crossed his arms and looked at the four bewildered men in black below with a smile.

The four men simultaneously raised their guns, ready to fire.

Chen Yang jumped down from the shelf.

During his descent, he twisted his waist strangely in mid-air, directly avoiding the trajectories of the four bullets.

He placed his feet on the shoulders of two of the men and used the momentum to push down.

The pure Yang internal energy flowed down the soles of their feet and into the Jianjing acupoints of the two men.

The two men felt a numbness in half of their bodies and fell to their knees with a thud, unable to even hold their guns.

Chen Yang took advantage of the momentum and did a backflip.

The moment he landed, he lightly brushed his hands across the wrists of the other two men who were holding guns.

Both rifles flew out of their hands.

Chen Yang grabbed the two men by the collar and slammed them together.

Two heads wearing gas masks collided solidly, and the two people rolled their eyes and passed out.

All of this happened too fast.

Those gun-wielding experts were like slow-witted old people in front of Chen Yang, a close-combat martial arts master.

Jack gasped in shock. He ripped off his gas mask, revealing his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

"Damn it, we've run into tough guys. Switch to armor-piercing incendiary rounds and level this place!"

Upon hearing the order, the remaining Black Feather team members in the hall immediately frantically pulled out specially made red magazines from their ammunition pouches and replaced them.

If this type of armor-piercing incendiary bomb were to detonate in a confined underground environment, it would cause indiscriminate area-of-effect damage.

Li Qiang saw it clearly in the dark room, and his legs trembled with fear.

"Advisor Chen, stop playing around. They're going to use incendiary bombs. If this drags on any longer, we'll all be burned to ashes."

Chen Yang stood still without even flinching. He patted non-existent dust off his hands and sighed.

"You guys who do fieldwork really lack mental fortitude; you're not calm at all."

"Since they want to play with fire, I'll perform a magic trick and teach them what it means to play with fire and get burned."

As they were talking, one of the Black Feather team members had already raised his gun and aimed it at Chen Yang.

"Go to hell!"
