Chapter 605: Chapter 601: Concentrated Fire

Tang Luo pointed at the encirclement and explained the operation to the two of them: “When Mi Hu and his men enter the encircle, the martial ancestor squads hidden at these four points will launch an attack.”

“What you need to do is to find the target and fire upon them under the cover of the golden shockwave when Mi Hu and his men are resisting the attack.”

Only plans that are simple can be implemented. Tang Luo’s ambush plan deeply embodied this principle. It was simple, direct, and brutally effective.

The vast snowfall provided the best cover for the ambush. This was not only for Mi Hu’s team but also for the Tang Clan’s team.

“Who is the target of the concentrated attack?” Tang Yi asked solemnly. Due to the high consumption of spiritual power by the Extreme Mang Finger, the recovery times of each of the Martial Ancestors in the Tang Clan are not the same. And as the opponents who best understand the Tang Clan, the Mi Clan will definitely counterattack immediately after withstanding a round of Extreme Mang attack.

They would have only one chance for concentrated attack, after which the encircling ring would be broken, and it would be difficult to find the opportunity for another concentrated attack. This is because once they fall into face-to-face combat, a martial artist in the Fierce Realm would have their full senses activated to the maximum. The body would react reflexively to avoid any action that would pose a threat to him. Let alone that each person in the Mi Clan holds a piece of Xuanji Jade clamped inside their spirit armor, they could simply disappear into thin air by injecting spiritual power into it. It’s easy to cause severe injuries, but killing is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Fierce Realm martial artists have abundant blood and Qi. Vital parts such as the heart and the spine are no longer fatal spots for them. It is said that Grandmasters who can spirit qualify their bodies even possess the ability to resurrect. Even if their bodies get shattered, they can recreate new lives relying on the power of their spirit.

The top-level Fierce Realm martial artists are not that exaggerated, but even if their hearts get shattered, as long as they can use the Xuanji Jade to escape and get some life-saving spiritual medicine, they can wait for clan help.

Therefore, the target for the first round of concentrated attack is particularly crucial. If the wrong target is selected resulting in not killing but only injuring them, it is no different from failure.

The Tang Clan’s Extreme Sharp Finger Force is more suitable for concentrating fire than the Mi Clan’s Divine Wood attack. Therefore, the Tang Clan’s usual practice is to fire three or four Extreme Mang at the same person’s vital parts, in hopes of killing them in one shot. Unless they are ambushing an inexperienced Fierce Realm martial artist, there’s no way a top-level martial ancestor like Mi Hu could be successfully concentrated on. Even though Tang Yi was asking Tang Luo who to focus fire on, he had already had a plan in mind and was just waiting to propose it.

Unexpectedly, Tang Luo had already set the plan early on, and this target even left the two of them dumbfounded.

“This concentration of fire is somewhat different from before,” Tang Luo explained to the two who looked rather flabbergasted. “You are not to take their vital parts as targets for severe injuries but mainly aim at their shoulders and hips. Your firing position will vary with the different targets.”

“Isn’t this nonsense?” Tang Yi frowned after hearing Tang Luo’s explanation about listenting fire. “Indeed, these parts are easy targets, but even if we blow off both arms and legs, they can still recover fully as long as they return to the Mi Clan’s medicine hall for recuperation. Look at Mi Jing! Didn’t he lose an arm before the battle of Jiang Lin and now he’s still fighting at the front line?”

The straightforward commander of Shenwu Army didn’t give Tang Luo any face and spoke out his plan directly: “In my opinion, the target of concentrated fire can be anyone except for Mi Hu. With the Extreme Mang proficiency possessed by the five of us, we will certainly kill someone with a concentrated attack. Killing one martial ancestor is an enormous weakening of the Mi Clan!”

Tang Hongjun was not as brash as Tang Yi. Even though Tang Luo looked young, all his decisions were made with thorough consideration. Although the concentrated fire request was eccentric, he didn’t speak against it. He was surprised when Tang Yi spoke out directly and even proposed a plan.

Although he agreed with Tang Yi’s view, out of respect for Tang Luo, he opened his mouth and started to berate Tang Yi: “Commander Yi, I have said it before, even if Chief Luo is only standing in for the guard chief, he is still your superior. What do you mean by pressurizing him like this? Even if you have any suggestions, you should wait until Chief Luo has finished explaining. Now, apologize to Chief Luo!”

All things said, even though the guard chief cannot control the commander of the martial hall, there should be some respect for the superior. As the commander of the Shenwu Army, Tang Yi was used to straight talk. Only after he was scolded by Tang Hongjun did he realize that he was being unreasonable. He quickly apologized to Tang Luo: “Sorry, Chief Luo, I am a rough man, please don’t take it to heart.”

After making an apology unrepentantly, Tang Yi continued: “But we really can’t concentrate fire like that. Chief Luo may think that one must hold the Xuanji Jade to activate it. In fact, now when we two clans’ Martial Ancestors go into battle, we at least carry two pieces of Xuanji Jade, one in our pocket and one clamped inside the armor. They can be activated simply by injecting spiritual power. If Chief Luo thinks that by breaking their arms we can keep them here, then you’re mistaken.”

While apologizing, Tang Yi still insisted on his judgment. After all, battle is this commander’s specialty, and in his eyes, Tang Luo, although very talented, seemed inexperienced because of his young age.

What professionals hate most is being led by laymen, so he was eager to put forward his plan. But Tang Luo’s plan could not be altered.

He could afford to ignore Tang Yi’s rudeness, but he could not let a subordinate who did not obey orders onto the battlefield. Therefore, facing Tang Yi’s apology, Tang Luo simply said: “I designed this ambush operation. If Commander Yi wants to participate, he must follow my rules. If that is not possible, there’s no need for Commander Yi’s presence. Please return to Xiangyun Valley and recuperate!”

The two of them were just extras. He had already decided on the details of the ambush. He could indeed kill a Martial Ancestor of the Mi Clan if he achieved success in one stroke, but the remaining people would definitely find an opportunity to activate the Xuanji Jade and escape.

To the Mi Clan, which now possessed seven major clans, the death of a martial ancestor would not be a significant weakening.

But if he could weaken all six top-level Martial Ancestors, then the Mi Clan would really be seriously injured. Therefore, from the beginning of arranging this ambush, he was thinking of how to achieve this goal.

After much consideration, he realized that only an ambush by corresponding top-level Martial Ancestors could work against these slippery top-level Martial Ancestors, so he not only invited the Great Elder Tang Siyuan but also brought out his master, Tang Hongtao.

With the attacker holding the advantage over the one being attacked, plus the advantage of ambush, Tang Luo was ninety percent confident about this ambush operation. The remaining ten percent was just a matter of how many they could kill. The invitation to Second Elder Tang Hongjun and Shenwu Army Commander Tang Yi was a happy coincidence and simply an added bonus.

If a butcher shop lacks a butcher, can they still slaughter pigs with fur? Therefore, Tang Luo was particularly stern. If they obeyed they could join the ambush, if not they should go back and nurse their injuries. Otherwise, it might drag them down then who knows when there’d be such an opportunity again.
