“The tendon from the tail of the Tiger Cat Monster is quite valuable,” Luo Feng said, as his Blood Shadow Blade sliced open the tail of the Tiger Cat Monster, extracting the transparent tendon. He looked at Wei Tie beside him and smiled, “Iron Brother, you truly live up to your name. When the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat rammed you earlier, you were hit so hard you spat blood, which startled me. But now it seems like you’re fine!”
“You idiot, if I didn’t spit blood, do you expect me to endure it? That would cause even more damage!” Wei Tie laughed and scolded.
“Alright, everyone, hurry up and collect,” Chen Gu said with a smile.
The six members of the Fire Hammer Squad were in high spirits. Squad Leader Gao Feng was crouched beside the corpse of the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat, performing a dissection. Naturally, dissecting the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat’s corpse was the most difficult.
“Luo Feng has brought us luck,” Gao Feng said while dissecting, “On our first day, we’ve already taken down two Commander-level monsters.”
“Haha, Captain, you should reward me. It was I who insisted on bringing Luo Feng into the squad,” Chen Gu joked.
Everyone was in a cheerful mood.
“Huh?”
Luo Feng felt as if his tail had caught fire. His eyes instantly widened in shock. With the reaction ability that had allowed him to dodge numerous rubber bullets in the ‘Neural Reaction Test,’ he instinctively determined that the blurred shadow ahead, which caused the air to tremble, was a bullet!
Its speed was more than ten times faster than the rubber bullets in the Neural Reaction Test. Luo Feng had no time to shout a warning.
The extreme tension caused his body to instantly produce a large amount of adrenaline. His heartbeat skyrocketed to an astonishing speed. Every hair on his body stood on end, and his nerves were stretched to an unprecedented limit! Even the mental energy deep within his consciousness automatically spread rapidly throughout his body!
A life-or-death crisis!
Driven by the human instinct for survival, Luo Feng’s body and mind instantly reached their peak!
“Thud!”
The armor-piercing bullet tore through the air, heading straight for Luo Feng’s head.
The Blood Shadow Blade in Luo Feng’s hand instinctively slashed downward with all his might, severing the Tiger Cat’s tail in one fluid motion. What’s more, even after delivering such a devastating blow, the core of his power—his waist and hips—still retained enough explosive energy to instantly unleash a second strike!
It came naturally! In the face of life-or-death danger, at the moment when both his mind and body reached their peak, Luo Feng’s body naturally unleashed the second force.
Nine Heavens Thunder Blade—First Layer!
He had succeeded!
The speed of the Blood Shadow Blade instantly surged!
“Accelerate!” His mental energy instinctively acted on the blade, further increasing its speed!
“Decelerate!”
Without hesitation, his mental energy also acted directly on the rapidly approaching armor-piercing bullet. The bullet’s speed almost instantly dropped from four times the speed of sound to just one time the speed of sound. With a “clang,” Luo Feng’s Blood Shadow Blade struck the armor-piercing bullet directly.
The tip of the bullet was dented, and the entire round was deflected away.
“Boom!”
Another armor-piercing bullet headed toward the squad leader, Gao Feng. According to Zhang Zehu’s plan for the Tiger Fang Squad, the order was to kill Luo Feng, and since Gao Feng was the strongest member of the Fire Hammer Squad, these two bullets were respectively aimed at Luo Feng and Gao Feng!
Crouched beside the corpse of the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat, Gao Feng had his back to the direction from which the bullet came and had no idea the armor-piercing round was approaching.
“Thud!” Gao Feng suddenly applied more force with his dagger, slicing through the hide of the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat. This sudden exertion caused his body to shift slightly, causing the bullet aimed at his head to miss. Just as he was about to comment on the toughness of the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat’s hide—
“Whoosh!”
The high-speed armor-piercing bullet flew past Gao Feng’s ear, the powerful rotating airflow causing the skin on his ear to bleed instantly.
“Boom!”
The armor-piercing bullet struck Zhang Ke’s shoulder, right beside Gao Feng. The shot, powerful enough to shatter the scales of a low-level Commander monster, instantly reduced the muscles and bones in Zhang Ke’s shoulder to dust. With a bang, his right arm was blown completely off, and blood spurted out like water, spraying everywhere—”Pshhh!” streams of blood gushed forth!
“Ahh!” Zhang Ke cried out in pain.
“Sniper bullet!”
Gao Feng looked at the blood spurting from Zhang Ke’s severed arm, even splashing onto his own face. This sight made Gao Feng’s eyes turn red with fury. He roared, “Enemy attack!”
“Who the hell is it!” Wei Tie and Wei Qing also shouted furiously.
While shouting in anger, almost all members of the Fire Hammer Squad quickly moved. No one dared to stay in place under the aim of a sniper. Earlier, Squad Leader Gao Feng had narrowly avoided the bullet by shifting his body slightly as he forcefully sliced through the hide.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Four consecutive gunshots rang out!
“There!” Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and everyone else glared red-eyed in the direction of the gunfire.
On a distant rooftop, several shadows flickered and disappeared.
“It’s the Tiger Fang Squad!” Gao Feng gritted his teeth, “Tiger Fang!!!”
Luo Feng couldn’t see clearly… from such a distance, and the Tiger Fang Squad had vanished instantly. To see them clearly would require astonishing eyesight! A warrior’s hearing and vision improve alongside their physical strength. Among the six members of the Fire Hammer Squad, only Squad Leader Gao Feng’s physical strength was close to that of a mid-level warrior.
Only he had seen clearly.
“Tiger Fang Squad? The Tiger Fang Squad that Zhang Zehu belongs to?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. He had previously looked up some information on Zhang Zehu and knew that Zhang was a member of the Tiger Fang Squad. “They actually want to kill me?”
Cold realization dawned on Luo Feng. He truly felt that between warriors, it wasn’t always peaceful and harmonious.
“Zhang Ke!”
“Old Zhang!”
Everyone rushed over, and Luo Feng also ran to Zhang Ke’s side. Zhang Ke was lying on the ground, his face pale. His right shoulder had been completely shattered by the armor-piercing bullet, his right arm long gone. Even his combat suit had begun to show small tears. The power of that shot was truly immense. Zhang Ke’s face was pale, and beside him, Chen Gu was hurriedly trying to stop the bleeding.
“It’s my fault, Zhang Ke. You took the bullet meant for me!” Gao Feng held his ear.
“Brother Zhang.” Luo Feng clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage.
It was Zhang Ge and Chen Ge who had originally brought him into the Fire Hammer Squad.
“Damn it!” Gao Feng’s face changed dramatically, “Run!”
Just now, the Tiger Fang Squad had fired a total of six bullets. Two were aimed at Luo Feng and Gao Feng, while the other four were aimed at the surrounding monster herd. At this moment, the growls of the monsters began to rise from around them, and everyone in the Fire Hammer Squad immediately understood why the Tiger Fang Squad had fired those extra four shots.
“How cunning.”
“They want to kill all of us.”
“Run!”
Wei Qing quickly picked up the heavily bleeding Zhang Ke, and the group immediately fled.
“Boom! Boom!!” Ahead on the street, a large number of Iron-Furred Wild Boars appeared. Each of these boars was massive in size, and hundreds of them thundered forward together, creating a sensation like an earthquake. The members of the Fire Hammer Squad were shocked. Just as they were about to change direction, a violent rumbling sound also came from behind them.
An even more astonishing number of monsters were running toward them. This herd not only included the Unicorn Wild Boars but also more Lion Mastiff Beasts. Combined, the herds numbered over a thousand.
“This is a big problem.”
The faces of everyone in the Fire Hammer Squad changed dramatically!
“Climb the wall!” Gao Feng ordered.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The Fire Hammer Squad quickly scaled the broken wall. At this moment, the monsters, enraged by being attacked by four sniper bullets, only knew that such a treacherous and terrifying projectile was something only humans possessed! When they saw those few humans climbing the wall, they almost unanimously—
“Boom! Boom!!” The Unicorn Wild Boars lowered their heads and charged at the wall, which had stood for decades but now crumbled almost instantly under the impact. More than a thousand densely packed monsters charged forward.
The Fire Hammer Squad looked back and couldn’t help but change expressions.
“Brothers, this time we’re in a life-or-death situation. Run for your lives! If anyone survives, it’s a miracle. If we stay together, we’re all doomed!” While running, Squad Leader Gao Feng shouted with red eyes, “Damn the Tiger Fang Squad! If I survive this, I’ll make them pay for their blood debt!!!”
“Everyone, scatter and run!” Wei Tie and Wei Qing also gritted their teeth.
Faced with an attack from a monster herd numbering over a thousand, even a warrior at the Commander level could only flee in panic.
“Tiger Fang Squad, Zhang Zehu!” Luo Feng felt in his heart that the reason the other side had acted might be because of him, as he had previously forced Zhang Zehu to spend 100 million credits, “The Tiger Fang Squad wouldn’t attack without reason. Could it be because of me… because of me that Brother Zhang is like this?”
A surge of guilt and murderous intent rose in Luo Feng’s heart!!!
“Zhang Zehu! Tiger Fang Squad!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned red.
“Captain, Brother Chen.” Luo Feng suddenly roared.
This roar startled Squad Leader Gao Feng, the Wei brothers, and Chen Gu, who all looked at Luo Feng in astonishment. They saw Luo Feng clenching his teeth and growling, “Follow me! We will all survive and leave this place!!!” With a whooshing sound, the throwing knives strapped to Luo Feng’s thighs instantly rose, circling and hovering around him.
