Although Lu An's palm was fast, it was not very powerful. The two of them were pushed back less than ten feet and stopped. They did not suffer any injuries.
However, the result of the battle was obvious. They had lost.
Although the two of them were still holding swords in their hands, they no longer had any intention of continuing the battle. If Lu An had a weapon in his hand just now, he would not have simply pushed the two of them away. He would have killed them directly. They also knew their own limits, so they put away their weapons and saluted Lu An.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Deputy Battalion Commander!"
Lu An nodded slightly, turned to look at Nie Han and Xu Zhu, and said, "Is this enough?"
In the distance, Nie Han and Xu Zhu had the exact same expression as everyone else. The two of them were dumbfounded. Lu An's actions just now didn't seem to be anything special. It didn't even seem to be too flashy. However, he had actually forced the two of them to retreat so easily. This level of strength was simply incomprehensible.
From the beginning to the end, Lu An did not change anything except for a little snow falling off his head and coat. Even the footprints on the soles of his feet did not change. Finally, everyone watched as Lu An walked out of the circle and breathed a sigh of relief.
After the battle just now, no one dared to doubt Lu An's strength anymore.
Lu An did not stay for long. Instead, he returned to the house to continue cultivating. However, in the evening, someone suddenly knocked on his door. When Lu An opened it, he found that it was a soldier.
"Deputy Battalion Commander, the two Battalion Commanders have asked for you!" The soldier said respectfully.
Lu An was startled. He did not know what was going on, but he still said, "Got it."
Lu An put on his coat and went straight to the core of the Celestial Master Battalion. Soon, he found out where the meeting was. When he walked to the door, he found that the two Battalion Commanders were inside.
Not only the two Battalion Commanders, but many Level Four Celestial Masters were also inside. When everyone saw Lu An arrive, they all stood up. Nie Han and Xu Zhu did the same. They greeted him and said, "You're here. Take a seat!"
Lu An sat down and looked at the two of them in confusion. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Yes." Xu Zhu nodded. His voice was grave as he said, "Orders have just come from above. They say that there will be provisions passing through 150 kilometers north of the mountains. These provisions are for the enemy's garrison. There is a huge amount of provisions, and it seems to be enough for the entire winter. They want us to send people to destroy them."
Lu An was stunned. Even someone like him, who knew nothing about marching, knew the importance of food. If there was no food, the Taoist Master might be able to be self-sufficient. But if there were 150,000 enemy soldiers, there was probably no way. If it was light, the army would retreat. If it was heavy, they would all starve to death.
"However, since the provisions are so important, there must be many powerful Heavenly Masters watching over them. Therefore, we must be careful and not be careless. "Nie Han said.
"That's right." Xu Zhu nodded and said seriously, "Right now, there are only 11 Celestial Masters in our Celestial Master Camp. We can't leave no one to guard our home. Leave five people here, and the remaining six will go on missions. However, the success rate of this mission is not high. It is very likely that we will not be able to return. I respect everyone's opinion. Who wants to go? Raise your hand! "
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other. At this point in their cultivation, no one wanted to throw their lives away. For a moment, no one spoke. They all lowered their heads.
"I'll go." Lu An said softly.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Lu An. Lu An's expression was calm. There was no grief or indignation. He just said softly, "I can go."
After hearing Lu An's words, Nie Han frowned and quickly said, "How can you do that? You're the Deputy City Lord …"
"It's okay. I know what I'm doing." Lu An interrupted him and said.
Seeing Lu An say this, Nie Han could only shut his mouth. However, although Lu An had opened his mouth, no one dared to speak again. Just as Xu Zhu was about to say some words of encouragement, two people suddenly opened their mouths at the same time.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone was stunned and looked over. The people who spoke were none other than Chu Zhizhen and Song Yuan.
Chu Zhizhen and Song Yuan looked at each other and smiled. They then turned to the two Battalion Commanders and said, "The two of us will go. With such an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, how can we miss it!"
When everyone heard the words of the two, they couldn't help but lower their heads in shame. Nie Han couldn't help but say, "To be able to meet the two of you is a great blessing in my life!"
"Haha, Battalion Commander Nie is too kind!" Chu Zhizhen laughed and said, "The two of us don't know how to lead an army to fight. We can only use brute force. As long as we can do something for the country, we can do anything! "
Song Yuan nodded vigorously. She then looked at Lu An and said, "Moreover, with the Deputy Battalion Commander leading the two of us, the two of us feel very relieved."
Lu An was stunned and smiled at the two of them. However, after the two of them spoke, no one spoke. Nie Han took a deep breath and said, "How about the Chu couple, Lu An, and I, the four of us go? It's also good to leave more people here to prevent the enemy from creating a diversion. Moreover, even if we all die, the power here won't be affected too much. "
Xu Zhu was stunned and quickly said, "How can that be? Brother Nie just came here not long ago. How can we let you do this kind of mission? Of course it's me …"
"Brother Xu doesn't need to say more. It's just right that I go." Nie Han smiled and said, "If I die, brother Xu can still take charge of the situation here. Moreover, if you send two people, we will also send two people. It's just right. It's settled! "
Nie Han looked at the Chu couple and Lu An and said, "Everyone go back and prepare. We will set off in a moment. We must arrive before midnight."
"Yes!" The three of them said in unison.

In the dark night, four figures flew through the snow.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and the vast grassland was dark. Even the snow in front of them was black. The four of them moved forward very quickly. At this time, they were very close to their destination.
Along the way, the four of them were focused on rushing. No one spoke. Finally, they arrived at their destination before midnight. They saw the official road in front of them. It was the place where the supplies had to pass. The four of them immediately stopped a mile away and dug a hole in the snow. They hid inside and waited for the enemy to arrive.
"What should we do when we fight?" Chu Zhizhen looked at Nie Han and asked.
Nie Han frowned slightly. What was going to happen next was no joke. The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation. However, the four of them had never practiced cooperation. He was of the earth attribute, the Chu couple were of the metal attribute, and Lu An was of the ice attribute. It was very difficult to cooperate.
"Our goal is to destroy the supplies, not to fight to the death with them." Nie Han looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice, "We just need to find a way to destroy the supplies. When the time comes, I will bury the supplies deep underground. You guys do your best to destroy them. There's no need to fight. As long as we destroy most of the supplies, we will immediately retreat! "
"Okay!" The Chu couple nodded.
"In that case, we will split into four. The supplies that can support a hundred and fifty thousand people must be very long. We will split up so that we can deal with them as quickly as possible! " Nie Han's expression was serious as he continued, "And even if we fight with the enemy Heavenly Masters, we must fight within the range of the supplies. Understand?"
"Understood!" The three of them said.
Nie Han nodded slightly. He stuck his head out of the deep hole and looked at the official road in the distance. Because the night was dark, they could only see the situation on the official road from such a distance. Looking at the empty official road, Nie Han took a deep breath. In the depths of winter, even the air was so cold that it made people shiver.
Finally, at midnight, Lu An's eyes suddenly focused. He immediately stood up and looked outside. The other three were stunned. They also quickly stood up and looked outside.
However, the four of them did not see anyone. It was pitch black all around. There was no movement at all.
"What's wrong?" Nie Han looked at Lu An and asked. If it was anyone else who was startled in such a tense environment, he would probably have scolded them.
"They're here." Lu An's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice.
The three of them were stunned again. They looked in the direction Lu An was looking, but they still saw nothing.
Strange. Was there something wrong with their eyes? Or was Lu An hallucinating?
After the three of them repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their eyes, they turned to ask Lu An. However, just as the three of them were about to turn their heads, Nie Han's body suddenly trembled. His eyes widened as he quickly said, "There are black shadows!"
The Chu couple was stunned. They quickly turned to look at the official road!
Indeed, far away on the official road, black shadows gradually appeared in the dark night!
