The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

  “Retreat! Retreat!”

  The commander’s body stiffened. He shouted in panic.

  He was the first one to run away. Many soldiers followed behind him.

  However, Tang Hao did not let them flee. His body flashed again, and another row of Hindustani soldiers fell.

  He continued advancing toward the commander.

  The commander trembled and his face turned pale. His limbs went weak and he fell sitting down on the ground. He tried to crawl backward with his hands and feet.

  “Protect me, you idiots! Quickly, protect me!”

  He roared. His tone of voice became more and more panicked than ever.

  Tang Hao walked toward him and activated a light shield. The bullets were blocked by the shield and dropped harmlessly to the ground.

  His jade talismans could not stop missiles, but it was all too easy to stop bullets.

  He grabbed the commander’s collar and lifted him up. “Let me ask you, where is the other Huaxia cultivator?” He asked coldly.

  “I don’t know! I don’t know anything!”

  The Hindustani commander shook his head.

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows. He narrowed his eyes and slashed his dagger across the commander’s throat.

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  The helicopters in the air fired missiles at the ground.

  Tang Hao’s expression changed. He dashed away at full speed.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Earth-shattering explosions on the ground sent many Hindustani soldiers flying.

  Once he was out of the blast radius, Tang Hao lifted his hand and an RPG appeared in his hand. He aimed it at a helicopter.

  Fwoosh!

  The rocket flew out of the barrel and hit the helicopter. The helicopter wobbled and fell toward the ground.

  Tang Hao threw away the RPG in his hand, took out another, and fired it at another helicopter.

  The tens of helicopters in the sky were brought down in a short time.

  Many soldiers were utterly terrified. They tried to run away. Tang Hao caught up to them and killed them one by one.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Ratatatat!

  The battle continued, but it was one-sided. About twenty minutes later, the final Hindustani soldier was dragged out of his tank and killed.

  What was left of the battle was a smoldering wreckage.

  Corpses littered across the plains, and the smell of gunpowder was thick in the air.

  Tang Hao sat on one of the tanks and looked around him. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no survivors. The anger in his heart subsided a little.

  However, that was not enough. He still did not know Taoist Master Qian Ji’s whereabouts, and Hindustani cultivators had not learned their lesson.

  He was already there anyway. He might as well cause as much damage as he could.

  He took out his map and focused his gaze on a military base not far away.

  “Wanna play… let’s play!” He mumbled as a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

  He hopped off the tank, rode on a jeep, and drove toward the military base.

  He arrived half an hour later and barged into the military base.

  He came out of the military base about twenty minutes later. Behind him were burning and exploding buildings. The entire military base was reduced to ruins.

  “This is only the beginning!” Tang Hao mumbled. He continued driving toward the next base.

  Another military base soon fell.

  At the end of every rampage, Tang Hao gathered all the firearms and stored them in his pocket dimension.

  There was no need to expend jade talismans against mundane soldiers. Firearms would be enough.

  Before he left, he set up explosives and blew up the military base.

  While on his rampage, Tang Hao could see fighter jets patrolling the place.

  Tang Hao learned his lesson after the initial attack. He immediately hid away whenever he sensed fighter jets drawing near. The fighter jets could not locate him.

  That was how he managed to rampage across multiple military bases undetected.

  After destroying four bases, the Hindustani soldiers learned their lesson. They immediately surrendered when they saw him.

  Tang Hao did not kill those who surrendered. He took their weapons, destroyed their vehicles, and blew up the buildings.

  Chapter 446 - The Hindustanis Are Angry

  Late in the night.

  All the lights in a command center somewhere in Hindustan were still on. Everyone inside was busy at work.

  A big screen displayed the live satellite feed.

  In the room, many Hindustani soldiers were working frantically with grim expressions on their faces.

  “We have spotted the target, General!”

  Someone stood up excitedly and reported the news to a man standing on a higher platform.

  The man was in his fifties. He was dressed in a smart military uniform adorned by many medals. His thin and sculpted face had a thick mustache.

  He immediately jumped into action. “Scramble the fleet of fighter jets from the nearby airbase. He must be stopped!” He yelled.

  “We… cannot afford to lose any more troops!

  “This is utter humiliation! Humiliation!”

  He was losing control of his temper.

  His fists were clenched tightly, and his body was shaking violently.

  Whatever happened today was a slap in the face to the Hindustan military. First, an entire mixed battalion was wiped out. Then, six military bases were destroyed. There were countless casualties, not to mention the number of lost weapons, equipment, and infrastructure.

  The cost of the destroyed helicopters, tanks, and missiles added up to an astronomical sum.

  That was a great loss! He could not comprehend the magnitude of the number!

  One person had caused all that damage. One Huaxianese!

  That was utter humiliation!

  Never had something like that happened in the country’s military history!

  They would occasionally provoke Huaxia. Sometimes they would be at a disadvantage, and sometimes they would be at an advantage, but the situation had always been manageable.

  However, the current situation was out of his control.

  What kind of a monster did Huaxia send over?

  The first missile barrage by the five fighter jets hit the target, but that guy did not die. Instead, he turned around and annihilated a battalion of soldiers.

  After that, he went on a rampage and started destroying military bases. Six bases were already up in flames.

  That was insane!

  Was Huaxia planning to start an all-out war?

  “Attack! Attack! Mobilize all jets that can fly. I want to see that guy reduced to nothing more than a wet stain on the ground. We cannot let him return to Huaxia,” he shouted maniacally.

  He turned around and yelled at the people behind him. “Where are the people from the Holy Mountain? Where are the grandmasters? Are they all dead?”

  The person behind him bowed and said fearfully, “The people from the Holy Mountain are already on their way. However, that guy is too cunning and they can’t catch him. If the cultivators manage to get their hands on him, they’ll be able to kill him for sure.”

  “Hmph! Send them his coordinates. Get them to move faster!” The general grunted angrily.

  Meanwhile, everyone was working busily in a command center in western Huaxia.

  “Another base has exploded! Oh my god, that’s the sixth one!”

  “Crazy! This is crazy!”

  They exclaimed in surprise as they watched the satellite feed on the big screen.

  They saw another military base illuminated by firelight. That was the sixth Hindustani military base destroyed.

  “What kind of a godlike person is he? That is horrific!”

  “We’ll find ourselves in a war if this goes on!”

  Some of them were awestruck,
while others were worried.

  Taoist Master Fu Yun and Mu Xintong were looking at the screen from a corner of the room.

  Mu Xintong’s mouth was slightly agape.

  Meanwhile, Taoist Master Fu Yun’s expression seemed unpleasant. His face was pale, and his forehead glistened with beads of sweat.

  “How could this be! Are all the Hindustanis useless?” He mumbled to himself.

  Mu Xintong glanced at him and saw his weird expression. “What’s wrong?” She said coldly.

  “It’s nothing! Haha! It’s really nothing. I’m just a little concerned, that’s all. It would be bad if he manages to incite the Hindustanis to start a war!”

  Taoist Master Fu Yun said as he lifted his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead.

  Mu Xintong glanced at him again, then turned her head to face the screen once more.

  Standing behind the room was a row of high-ranking military officials. The leader was the commander of the western military region.

  “He’s gone overboard!” The commander’s hands were behind him. He shook his head gently as he looked at the screen.

  He might sound angry, but he was laughing up his sleeve.

  Six of his Huaxia soldiers had been killed the day before, which angered the entire military. Now, the Hindustanis were getting a taste of their own medicine.

  ‘Revenge is sweet!’

  “The kid is doing a good job, but it’s a little too excessive!” He mumbled to himself.

  “What do we do now, Commander?” Someone behind him asked.

  “What do you mean, what do we do now? Report this to the Capital!” He said.

  The news reached the Capital very soon.

  “This is… interesting!”

  “The person’s already gone beyond our borders, and I don’t think we can contact him in the meantime. This can be troublesome! I didn’t expect that the Agency has such young talent!”

  “What do we do now?”

  “What do you mean, what do we do now? Did we send anyone over? No!”

  The meeting room fell silent.

  Everyone understood what was said, and they laughed profoundly.

  In such situations, nothing will happen if that person was not caught. It would only be an issue if he was caught!

  The western command center soon received a reply: No further action required. Deny everything if Hindustan came asking.

  …

  Boom!

  The sounds of fighter jets scrambling could be heard throughout the night.

  Tang Hao hid himself in a valley. When the jets flew away, he resurfaced again and moved toward the next target.

  When he arrived at the next military base, the Hindustani soldiers who were standing on guard were dumbfounded.

  They stared at each other for a while, then started babbling in their own language.

  “The devil is here! The devil is here!”

  After shouting agitatedly for a while, they kneeled on the ground and lifted their guns over their heads.

  The entire military base descended into action.

  However, no one dared to wield their weapons. They walked out of the building in a single file with their hands on their heads, then crouched down on the open space outside. No one put up a fight.

  Tang Hao was dumbfounded.

  He did not want to kill people who did not put up a fight.

  “Hey, can’t you show a little spine?” He said helplessly.

  The Hindustani soldiers shook their heads.

  ‘What’s a ‘spine’? Can that be eaten? My life is more important! We can’t defeat this freak anyway!’

  Tang Hao was speechless.

  ‘Whatever!’

  He went into the base and started looting their weapons. He took whatever he could, and destroyed anything that he could not.

  After that, he set up explosives at various spots in the base.

  After he got out, he detonated the explosives.

  Suddenly, he heard the sounds of many cars speeding toward him.

  There was also another peculiar sound. It sounded like metal rubbing against the ground.

  Hiss!

  There were also snake hisses.

  ‘They’re here!’ Tang Hao cursed under his breath. His expression turned grim as he looked in front of him.

  Chapter 447 - The Hindustanis Are Furious

  A convoy of jeeps sped toward the military base.

  On those jeeps were Hindustanis dressed in white clothes and turbans.

  More than forty people squeezed in six jeeps. Many of them sat on top of the vehicles. It was a peculiar sight.

  A rumbling mass followed behind them. That was the sound of countless flying snakes gathered in a single, unstoppable torrent.

  Several huge shadows lumbered behind those flying snakes. They were massive snakes that crawled on the ground at an amazing speed.

  The Hindustani soldiers outside the base were excited when they saw that. They ran toward them.

  “That wretched Huaxianese is in the base! Kill him! Quick!” They shouted as they ran.

  “O Grandmasters, unleash the fury of the snake god and punish the insolent Huaxianese!”

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that.

  ‘What? Weren’t they meek and cowering earlier? Now they’re shouting and yelling as though they’re on the winning side!’

  The jeeps stopped when they got near.

  The Hindustanis on the car hopped down and glared at Tang Hao coldly. Their chins were pointing toward the sky.

  Their gaze was filled with condescension.

  The Hindustani who seemed to be their leader walked in front of Tang Hao. He pointed at Tang Hao and said, “So, you’re the Huaxia cultivator?

  “How dare you invade into our country and kill our compatriots…

  “You have survived thus far because you have not met us. Do you think that no one in the great Hindustan can take you down?

  “We are here now! O foolish Huaxianese, prepare your last words!”

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes again. ‘Are all these Hindustanis idiots?’ He thought.

  His attitude angered the Hindustan cultivators.

  “Wargh! This Huaxia kid is too arrogant!”

  “****! ****! Kill him!”

  The Hindustanis shouted agitatedly.

  “Go, everyone! Onto him!” The leader shouted.

  The snaky torrent behind the jeeps pounced over the vehicles and swarmed toward Tang Hao.

  Snake hisses shook the earth.

  That was a horrific sight!

  Those were not normal snakes, but an ancient breed with extra thick scales like metal.

  The fangs of the snakes would easily puncture a hole in a cultivator. After that, they would devour the victim until not a single bone was left.

  However, Tang Hao was not afraid.

  He narrowed his eyes and flicked his wrists. Thirty-three jade talismans flew out and surrounded him with crackling lightning energy.

  He brandished his qi aura, and his clothes started fluttering madly.

  The crackling lightning and his qi aura illuminated the surroundings. It was an awe-inspiring sight!

  The flying snakes slowed down when they sensed his aura. Their formation was disrupted.

  The formation of thirty-three jade talismans flew outward at Tang Hao’s mental command. It spread out as a web of lightning and swallowed the swarm of flying snakes.

  After that, something that sounded like raindrops could be heard.

  The torrent of flying snakes was wiped out in an instant. They were burned and charred by the lightning, and the fragrance of snake meat lingered in the air.

  The place fell eerily silent all of a sudden.

  The grandmasters and the soldiers all froze on the spot, petrified. Their eyes and mouths were opened wide in fear.

  “Oh… Oh… Oh my god! They’re all dead! Dead!”

  A scream broke the silence.

  The Hindustani’s faces turned gh
astly pale. Not a trace of their earlier arrogance was left.

  “Oh no! He’s a freak!”

  “Quick! Run!”

  The Hindustani cultivators scrambled onto the jeeps and prepared to escape.

  Tang Hao threw out several jade talismans at the jeeps and destroyed them. After that, he caught up to the fleeing giant snakes and slaughtered them.

  “Hmm, the meat is high quality! It should be delicious when roasted. Anything that I can’t eat can be turned into fertilizer!” Tang Hao mumbled.

  The Hindustani cultivators nearly saw red when they heard that.

  ‘How dare that guy eat their precious snakes, or worse, turn them into fertilizer?

  ‘That is such a waste!

  ‘Curse that Huaxianese to hell!’

  However, they did not speak their thoughts out loud. They stood there with fearful expressions.

  “Let me ask you, where is the Huaxia cultivator you captured earlier?” Tang Hao asked the leader.

  “He’s… He’s… He’s at the Holy Mountain!” The leader spoke with a trembling voice.

  “Holy Mountain?”

  “Right, Ular Holy Mountain!”

  “How is he now?”

  “He’s….still alive!”

  Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

  He looked at the group of Hindustani cultivators and sank in thought. He beat up each one of them, then took out some rope and tied up all of them together.

  He drove a jeep from the military base and tied the other end of the rope to the back of the jeep.

  “Let’s go!”

  He stepped on the accelerator and the jeep started to move.

  The Hindustani cultivators behind the jeep were dragged along. They were battered about until their bones loosened and their faces were bruised. Occasionally, some of them yelped in pain.

  That was a pathetic sight.

  The Hindustani soldiers were shocked as they watched the jeep leave.

  Were those people the secretive and powerful grandmasters they knew?

  ‘This is horrible!’

  Just as they stood there in a daze, the military base behind them exploded and went up in flames.
