As long as he knew Chen Shenggang’s abilities, Yue Zhong could then make the appropriate measures. Chen Shenggang would then not be a threat to him.
Chen Shenggang stood up and responded loudly: “Yes! I can manipulate the ground!! Please observe!”
Chen Shenggang’s pupils shrunk, as he activated his [Ground Manipulation] skill, and a 3m spike shot out from the ground. He then bellowed, as 6 consecutive small spikes shot out from the ground.
Yue Zhong observed Chen Shenggang’s display, and his heart turned cold.
The skill of this Chen Shenggang was truly tyrannical, if he was a little less cowardly, and had charged towards the IFV while releasing this skill, the IFV would have been overturned. It might even have been penetrated by the ground spikes.
Chen Shenggang lowered his head and bowed, with an honest look: “Leader! This is my ability! It has a limited range, and can only create such sharp spikes within a 100m. If it’s beyond a 100m, then I would need more time, to create spikes with enough threatening power!”
Chen Shenggang’s ability was not weak, but his courage was truly too small, the moment he saw Luo Kui being blasted apart, he had lost all will to fight. After that, he had seen how casually Yue Zhong and Bai Xiaosheng slaughtered those experts from the Heaven Sect, and had not dared to risk anything. He just hid behind a cover, and acted as a normal disciple, and surrendered.
If it wasn’t for Zhen Yeyang discovering him, Chen Shenggang had wanted to pose as a captive, before finding an opportunity to escape. Although he did not dare to fight against Yue Zhong and his troops, he had confidence in escaping. He had the [Ground Manipulation] ability, no cell could contain him. Unless it was those specially constructed cells that were meant to counter his ability, which would mean that his ability was useless.
Yue Zhong stared at Chen Shenggang and asked slowly: “Are these all the reinforcements sent?”
Chen Shenggang nodded as he bowed: “Responding to Leader! There’s only us!”
Yue Zhong’s gaze was like a knife that pierced into Chen Shenggang’s heart: “You guys must have set off from Peaceful Heart Town right!”
“Yes!!” Chen Shenggang looked at Zhen Yeyang beside Yue Zhong, and did not dare life, and directly responded.
Yue Zhong continued asking: “How many troops are at Peaceful Heart Town?”
Chen Shenggang replied with full honesty: “There’s only a Law Protector, 7 Altar Lords, 50 zealots and about 170 normal disciples there. In Peaceful Heart Town, there are about 20 rifles, 25 handguns, and the remaining weapons are all obsolete melee weapons!”
Yue Zhong stared at Chen Shenggang coldly: “Bring us to Peaceful Heart Town! After we take it down, I’ll raise you to become a platoon commander!”
Chen Shenggang did not dare reject as he responded soundly: “Yes! Leader!!”
Peaceful Heart Town was different from Mahogany Town, and was one of the actual headquarters of the Heaven Sect, and was only about 20km away from the central base in Long An Province. There were 2 Elders stationed there, and over a 1000 disciples as their force, and could respond to any situation in the nearby towns, at the same time, they could send reinforcements back to the main base if need be.
The force of a hundred people soon came to Peaceful Heart Town.
“Who is it?” The disciple stationed at the entrance saw this 100-strong troop, his heart became wary, as he raised his gun and questioned.
Chen Shenggang came out from the crowd and stared at the disciple coldly: “You can’t even recognize me? By using your gun against me, are you thinking of flouting the rules?”
“Oh, it’s Elder Chen!!! Your subordinate didn’t know it’s the return of Elder Chen, if this small one had offended you, please do not take it to heart!!” The disciple had turned ashen, and immediately threw himself to the ground!
The 4 disciples at the gate immediately kneeled and called out loudly: “Long live Elder Chen!!”
Chen Shenggang threw a haughty gaze as he commanded: “Go bring Law Protector Ning as well as the 7 Altar Lords, and the heavenly troops to gather at the Green Garden! I have something to tell them! I’ll get others to stand guard here. Go!”
