In the safe house within the cave, Qing Chen lay on a stone bed: "You guys go fight, I need to rest for a bit."
Dayu was a little unhappy: "Wait, don't sleep just yet, do you think you can sleep now?"
Qing Chen weakly said: "During the 7 days of my return, I haven't had a single day off. I've been making battle plans, climbing mountains, and fighting. I'm still injured, what's wrong with me sleeping for a bit?"
Dayu said in a huff: "You made the plan, you told me to attack the Chen Family forces, and now I'm busy while you go off to sleep?"
Qing Chen rolled over, waving his hand: "Unlimited firepower is so much fun, as long as Chen Yu doesn't make a move, it's not difficult for you at all. Elder, please help me get him to the exit, I'm exhausted. You must help Fire Pit buy some time, please."
Actually, Qing Chen wasn't lying, he was indeed exhausted.
After the brief elation of his A-Class promotion, he felt overwhelming fatigue he couldn't resist.
Dayu looked at Qing Chen's haggard appearance, thinking about how the other party had even given him a Forbidden Artifact, so he didn't say anything else.
Thinking about this made him feel awkward.
Since receiving Qing Chen's gift, his voice has become lower."What if Chen Yu appears?" Chen Jiazhang asked.
As a result, Qing Chen didn't answer.
The Elder checked his right wrist pulse, startled: "What did you experience in the Outer World? He actually passed out?"
Dayu was also stunned: "Faking it!"
The Elder shook his head: "Faking a faint is quite in line with a Knight's style. But his pulse can't lie, he really passed out. Did you experience combat in the Outer World? Logically, after eating the divine beef, he should have recovered in seven days."
"There was a group of A-Class in the Inner World who wanted to surround him, and he ended up demolishing their headquarters and killing two," Dayu calmly said. Although he didn't want to admit this was Qing Chen's accomplishment, he also didn't want to lie or conceal it.
At this time, Chen Jiazhang, looking at Dayu's arrogant expression, suddenly asked: "Is it because your father took him as a disciple, so you have the idea of comparing yourself to him?"
Dayu coldly looked over: "What's it got to do with you, old geezer?"
Chen Jiazhang: ""
Seeing that Chen Jiazhang and Dayu were about to fight again, he quickly pulled Qin Yiyi and Dayu away from the safe house. After all, Dayu was the key to buying time for Fire Pit, he couldn't let the grievances between Chen Jiazhang and Dayu affect the overall situation.
Qin Yiyi reluctantly said: "I want to stay and take care of him!"
The Elder tightly held her wrist: "Little ancestor, I'm not at ease if you stay, you have to come with me."
Everyone came to the entrance of Cave 4, which was behind a waterfall, hidden like a Water Curtain Cave.
Outside the cave was the sound of rushing water. Inside the cave, Dayu drew out 24 scrolls one by one from the palm of his right hand.
He took a deep breath and crushed one by one his trump cards, which he had painstakingly painted for countless years.
Nine God Women, nine Demon-Subduing Arhats, and six Li Shutongs appeared in the cave.
The Elder looked at the six Li Shutongs, feeling his cavities ache.
He curiously asked: "Why did you paint so many of the same God Women and Demon-Subduing Arhats? Don't Chen Family painters like to paint different ones?"
Dayu glanced at him and said: "Paintings are used for combat, painting the same character naturally allows for proficiency, and the painting efficiency will also be higher. God Women are used for anti-air, Demon-Subduing Arhats are used for ground combat, it's enough. Chen Family painters take a long time to create a painting. If we talk about combat efficiency, specializing in a few characters is the most reasonable. I'm not like other Chen Family painters, they're too pretentious. They kill people with paintings, and at the same time say they are pursuing art."
The Elder was even more puzzled: "God Women for anti-air, Arhats for ground, then what are the Li Shutongs for?"
Dayu glanced at him again: "To frighten the enemy away at critical moments."
The Elder was stunned. He imagined himself fighting, and suddenly a Li Shutong jumps out and punches him, it's indeed quite frightening, much more frightening than the God Women and Demon-Subduing Arhats.
After all, God Women and Arhats are mythological figures, you know they're not real, you just need to measure their combat power based on the painter's level.
Suddenly, a Li Shutong popping out is different, that's a living Demi-God.
At this time, Zard exclaimed from the side: "Nine God Women and Demon-Subduing Arhats, why don't you combine them into three-star God Women and three-star Demon-Subduing Arhats, that would be even more powerful! More health, higher attack!"
Dayu: "???"
Are you playing Teamfight Tactics here?!
What the heck is combining nine ordinary God Women into one three-star God Woman!
Dayu ignored them, instantly dispatching all the gods and Buddhas and Li Shutongs, and dividing them into six groups.
Each group of four, with six Li Shutongs as group leaders, respectively leading the team to search the Forbidden Zone.
This time, it wasn't the Chen Family army hunting them, but he was hunting the army!
With the Chen Family painters' trump cards, there is naturally the confidence to take on thousands of enemies.
Zard carefully wrapped all the fragments of the paintings in the Restorative Shroud, slowly waiting for the time: "So we just need to sit here? Big brother, can you paint me next time? I'm pretty good too."
Dayu sat cross-legged behind the waterfall with his eyes closed: "I'll paint you when you become a Demi-God."
In Forbidden Zone 008, a 1500-person regiment was ordered to cross here.
The Chen Family reinforcements had arrived. Chen Yu not only wanted the cave base, but also wanted the upcoming Chen Family main field army to pass through and directly plunder Fire Pit.
After all, the Fire Pit Elder was trapped here, Chen Yu only needed to suppress those people in Forbidden Zone 008.
The Chen Family army had reorganized the rules of the Forbidden Zone, and they were marching rapidly.
However, they had only been here for six hours when a commotion suddenly came from the back of the team.
The front troops turned around and saw two Demon-Subduing Arhats and a God Woman appearing behind them. Under the leadership of Li Shutong, they began to slaughter the Chen Family soldiers mercilessly.
These A-Class paintings were invulnerable to swords and spears. As long as they weren't hit by single-soldier heavy firepower, as long as they weren't targeted by hundreds of people at the same time, they were almost like immortal incarnations.
At first, the Chen Family painters hidden in the army were shocked. How come Li Shutong is leading their paintings of gods and Buddhas to kill people?!
But he quickly reacted. This wasn't the real Li Shutong, it was Chen Ningzhi's brat helping Fire Pit!
The Chen Family painter coldly commanded in the team: "It's just four A-Class paintings, just abandon the soldiers entangled by them, and use single-soldier cloud burst bombs to blast them!"
The commander was stunned: "There are still hundreds of soldiers around them. If we launch cloud burst bombs, everyone will die."
The Chen Family painter gave him a cold look: "Is it not worth exchanging the lives of a hundred people for four A-Class paintings? You're the commander, you should understand what the most correct choice is. If you don't deal with it decisively now, more of your subordinates will die."
Actually, the commander also knew that abandoning the pawns to save the king was the correct choice. If these paintings of gods and Buddhas couldn't be dealt with, in just five minutes, his casualties would reach terrifying numbers.
However, for some reason, the commander felt uneasy listening to the painter's tone.
The commander tried to make one last attempt: "Can you use your paintings to kill them?"
The Chen Family painter gave him a cold glance: "Do you know how precious A-Class paintings are? Don't let me take action for something that can be solved by ordinary soldiers."
The Chen Family painters held a special position in the army.
They had no rank and no official position, but they were the backbone of the team, controlling the troops in a similar way to "military supervisors."
The painter's orders had to be obeyed.
The commander gritted his teeth and gave orders to the troops: "Abandon those soldiers, immediately isolate a safe zone, don't care about the casualties of your comrades, directly cover them with firepower!"
As he spoke, single-soldier missiles were launched one after another, forcefully destroying a Li Shutong, a God Woman, and two Arhats on the spot.
The military Chen Family painter sneered: "Chen Ningzhi's brat seems to lack combat experience, using his paintings so crudely, giving us a chance to focus fire. He has talent, but he can't use it, what a pity."
However, at this moment, another Li Shutong appeared from the 11 o'clock direction. This time, he brought two God Women and a Demon-Subduing Arhat.
These four paintings of gods and Buddhas charged forward, powerful and unstoppable, not caring whether they were being focused on.
In just five minutes, more than two hundred Chen Family soldiers were mercilessly slaughtered by them.
Gene Soldiers rushed up to stop them, only to be killed in one round.
The Chen Family painter was a bit dumbfounded now. These painters usually take months to create a painting, only Chen Yu can do it slightly faster.
Therefore, they are very cautious in using their paintings, wishing they could split a God Woman into two to use.
As a result, Chen Ningzhi's brat used eight at once like they cost nothing?
The Chen Family painter coldly said: "Use the same tactic, blast them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't pay any attention to the commander, but picked up the satellite phone and connected to Chen Yu's Class A Airship: "Boss, Chen Ningzhi's kid has made a move, eight A-Class paintings at once."
Inside the Class A Airship, Chen Yu was still coloring Huo Shen Zhu Rong. He calmly asked: "Can't you handle him?"
The Chen Family painter was stunned: "I can handle him, just letting you know."
Chen Yu calmly said: "The Chen Family painters are starting to help outsiders, this person can't be left. Now in the family, the family head has someone secretly supporting him, even wanting him to become a Demi-God and replace me, you should know what you need to do. Don't be too stingy with your paintings, find him, kill him."
Chen Yu's operation had four points of interest: the first was to obtain the secret to becoming a god, the second was to kill the potential threats within the family, the third was to kill the next leader of Knight, to cut off this lineage and avenge Shadow's injury, and the fourth was to encircle and kill Fire Pit's high-level combat power, paving the way for the next step of flattening Fire Pit.
Chen Yu even felt lucky, fate had gathered his current enemies together.
Very good.
Chen Yu in the Airship remained calm as he painted. After thinking for a moment, he opened the communication channel of the air force: "Other painters need to hurry up, before the arrival of the Zhutian Air Fortress, you need to complete the new paintings. Qing Chen has the ability to create electromagnetic pulses, drones can't detect the cave, so you need to rely on you."
On another Class B Airship, five painters were spreading canvases in the ship's compartment. They were not painting gods and Buddhas, but Five Bats Entering the Gate, which was also often used for reconnaissance within the Chen Family.
They didn't need to paint meticulously, the task of these bats wasn't combat, but exploring the underground caves.
On the battlefield, the Chen Family painter hung up the phone, watching another wave of Dayu's paintings being destroyed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Search in the direction they came from, there must be other cave exits in this Forbidden Zone, find it... how did it come again?!"
The Chen Family painter stared dumbfounded as another Li Shutong led a group to attack. Before he could react, another Li Shutong led a group from another direction.
It wasn't over yet.
After the first team of Dayu's paintings encountered the Chen Family troops, all the scattered Dayu paintings in the Forbidden Zone gathered towards this place.
Moreover, these paintings charged in wildly, without any exquisite multi-line operations.
It's not that Dayu doesn't cherish his paintings. In normal combat, he would be very careful and cautious, and then break down the paintings into individual combat units, instead of charging in teams like now.
But the problem is that Dayu has never fought such a luxurious battle.
Using 24 paintings at once, in the eyes of other painters, it's like he doesn't intend to continue living.
So, Dayu hadn't controlled so many paintings before, he couldn't operate them well, he could only be reckless.
Let alone him, even Qing Chen couldn't control 24 paintings simultaneously to complete exquisite combat. Even Shendai Yunluo, known for their ultimate operation skills, only used six Shikigami.
The current situation is that the Chen Family painters in the army are mocking Dayu's lack of method, while Dayu is mocking the other party's poverty.
To be honest, with an hour-long cooldown for unlimited firepower, there's no need to use any brains at all, just push forward.
The only thing to watch out for is not to be found.
At this moment, the Chen Family painter among the soldiers was shocked: "That brat has gone crazy, using 24 paintings at once, that's all his belongings, right?"
Calculating a painting's creation time at three months, just these 24 paintings would take several years!
"This brat, for Fire Pit, actually wasted several years of his youth at once, is Fire Pit bewitching his soul? Quickly request reinforcements!" The Chen Family painter was anxious.
All this meant that ordinary soldiers couldn't stop Dayu, he had to make a move!
The Chen Family painter recalled Chen Yu's calm tone, painfully took out six paintings from the backpack beside him, and grinned: "Do you think you're the only one with paintings?!"
As he spoke, he crushed all six paintings, and six gods and Buddhas rushed out under his control, entangled with the paintings led by Li Shutong.
However, the moment he made his move.
All of Dayu's paintings stopped tangling with the soldiers. More than ten God Women, Demon-Subduing Arhats, and Li Shutongs stood side by side, forcefully surrounding the Chen Family painter's six gods and Buddhas.
Dayu's fighting style wasn't methodical either, it was like high school students fighting in a brawl, all rushing in!
One of the Li Shutongs even used the "Wang Ba Quan" (a set of clumsy punches), his arms waving wildly.
The six arms of the Demon-Subduing Arhats also moved like spinning wheels.
The Chen Family painter's six paintings were squeezed together, their heads were pounded relentlessly.
This fighting style was a bit crude, but Dayu had a lot of paintings. In just a few minutes, he squeezed the Chen Family painter's gods and Buddhas together and gave them a beating.
At this moment, the Chen Family painter saw Li Shutong's white martial arts uniform, and his brain hurt!
Why are there so many Li Shutongs?!
He tried to control the gods and Buddhas under his command to resist, but six couldn't beat sixteen.
Moreover, while those Li Shutongs and Demon-Subduing Arhats were beating the six gods and Buddhas, they also took the opportunity to take out nearby Chen Family soldiers. The Demon-Subduing Arhats' clubs were like they cost nothing, smashing directly into the crowd.
This thing was like a kinetic energy cannonball, one blow could kill more than ten soldiers.
The Chen Family painter roared to the commander: "Use firepower coverage, blow them all away directly!"
The commander immediately ordered, and for a moment, cannons roared, forcefully covering both the Chen Family painter and Dayu's paintings.
Although the Chen Family painter felt distressed, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He grinned: "Use all the mechanical dogs, use all the drones, find out where he's hiding! Observe the traces in the woods, I want to know where these paintings came from!"
In less than half an hour, only more than three hundred people were left in his field army.
It was utterly disastrous.
But the Chen Family painter didn't care. He sneered: "This brat's paintings should be used up, it seems no one has taught him that a painter's trump cards cannot be easily revealed. Does he think he's Chen Black Tortoise, using up his lifetime's accumulation of paintings in one go? Naive, stupid!"
Moreover, what the Chen Family painter despised most was Dayu's recklessness.
He thought to himself, if he were controlling twenty-four paintings, he would definitely control them more skillfully, at least he wouldn't use Wang Ba Quan!
The commander whispered beside him: "We only have more than three hundred people left, should we ask for support first?"
The Chen Family painter pondered. He had lost six paintings to barely finish the battle. If he called for reinforcements now, wouldn't the peaches be picked by others?
His expression was uncertain.
However, the commander whispered: "In the Forbidden Zone, there's not only Chen Yu, but also the Earth Element Awakener, the Fire Pit Elder, Qing Chen..."
The Chen Family painter remembered this, and quickly said: "Quickly report to the higher-ups, we have completely annihilated Chen Yu's twenty-four paintings, and are currently searching for the whereabouts of the other party, let the field army move closer. Remember, be sure to make the achievements clear."
Soon, the Chen Family army found traces: broken branches and shrubs in the woods.
The Chen Family troops followed the clues, and a soldier urgently needed to relieve himself, so he went to the bushes to urinate.
As he was shaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw six Li Shutongs looking at him expressionlessly.
The soldier's body immediately trembled. Before he could shout, a God Woman behind him used a red silk scarf to gag his mouth.
At this time, with the increased number of God Women and Li Shutongs, they didn't look like high and mighty gods, but more like bandits robbing houses.
The Chen Family painter hid in the team, and he whispered to the commander: "Chen Yu's paintings are probably used up, if there is a battle later, you protect me and attack Qing Chen and Fire Pit Elder. If this succeeds, my position in the family will definitely be improved, and I will not forget you at that time... What the hell?!"
The Chen Family painter looked at the six Li Shutongs that appeared again, and was completely dumbfounded!
The Chen Family painter looked around: "Is this over yet? How can he have so many paintings!"
Even if you really spent ten years painting so many paintings, you can't use them like this!
Chen Yu, where are your principles and bottom line as a Chen Family painter?!
