They had also used poison against other warriors before. But usually it was for reasons like snatching monster corpses and similar gains. This time, however, they actually made a direct move like this.
“Dongzi, help me aim at Luo Feng. Put a bullet in his head and help me vent this anger,” Zhang Zehu gritted his teeth and said.
“Do it!” Tiger Fang team captain ordered.
“Yes, captain.”
The two firearm users no longer hesitated. They had survived life and death battles for a long time, and had killed both people and monsters far too many times.
“Hmph, Luo Feng.” Zhang Zehu stood at the edge of the balcony, looking at the Fire Hammer Squad that had just successfully killed the twin tailed tiger cat, a cold smile appearing on his face. “You dare touch my money, I will take your life. Go regret it in hell.”
Two sniper rifles were already set up.
The two gunners lay behind the rifles, both choosing special high power armour piercing rounds. They began aiming and adjusting angles. In just a moment, both of them nodded slightly to the Tiger Fang captain, indicating they were ready.
“Whoosh!” The captain waved his hand.
The two men pulled the triggers at the same time.
Bang!
Bang!
Two dull blasts rang out. Two bullets tore through the air and shot towards the Fire Hammer Squad, who were dissecting the twin tailed tiger cat and collecting materials. The sound was loud, but the bullets travelled several times faster than the speed of sound. The Fire Hammer Squad had not even heard the gunshots before the bullets arrived.
“The tendon in the tail of the tiger cat monster is worth a lot,” Luo Feng said as his Blood Shadow battle blade sliced open the tail and pulled out the transparent tendon. He looked at Wei Tie and smiled. “Brother Tie really lives up to his name. That collision from the twin tailed tiger cat just now made you spit blood. You scared me for a moment. Looks like you are fine after all.”
“You are stupid. If I do not spit blood, do you think I should just hold it in? That would cause even worse internal injury,” Wei Tie laughed and cursed.
“Alright, hurry up and collect everything,” Chen Gu said with a smile as well.
The Fire Hammer Squad was in a good mood. Captain Gao Feng was squatting beside the corpse, performing the dissection. Among all monster corpses, the twin tailed tiger cat was one of the hardest to dissect.
“Luo Feng has brought luck to our team. On the first day, we already killed two commander level monsters,” Gao Feng said while working.
“Haha, captain, you should reward me for that. I was the one who strongly insisted on recruiting Luo Feng,” Chen Gu said jokingly.
Everyone was relaxed and cheerful.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng suddenly felt as if his tail was on fire. His eyes widened instantly. With his reflexes, which allowed him to dodge rubber bullets in neural reaction tests, he immediately identified the incoming blurred shadow in the air as a bullet.
Its speed was more than ten times faster than the rubber bullets in the reaction test. He did not even have time to shout a warning.
Extreme tension caused a surge of adrenaline in his body. His heartbeat shot up to an alarming level. His whole body hair stood on end, nerves stretched to an unprecedented limit. Even his spiritual force from deep in his sea of consciousness instinctively spread throughout his body.
A life and death crisis.
Human survival instinct pushed Luo Feng’s body and spirit to their peak in an instant.
Bang.
The armour piercing bullet tore through the air, aimed at Luo Feng’s head.
Almost instinctively, Luo Feng swung the Blood Shadow battle blade that he had just used to cut the tiger cat’s tail. His full strength erupted to the limit. At the same time, from his waist and hips, after releasing one force, a second burst of force unexpectedly erupted again in an instant.
It flowed naturally. In the face of life and death danger, when his body and spirit reached their peak, his body naturally produced a second burst of force.
Nine Layer Thunder Blade, first layer.
It succeeded just like that.
The Blood Shadow blade’s speed instantly surged.
“Accelerate.” Luo Feng’s spiritual force instinctively acted on the blade, increasing its speed further.
“Slow down.”
His spiritual force also acted on the incoming bullet without hesitation, reducing its speed from nearly four times the speed of sound to about the speed of sound. With a clang, the Blood Shadow blade struck the armour piercing bullet directly.
The tip of the bullet dented, and it was deflected away.
Bang.
Another bullet, however, was fired at Captain Gao Feng’s head. According to Tiger Fang team’s plan, Zhang Zehu wanted Luo Feng killed, but the strongest member of Fire Hammer Squad was Gao Feng. So these two bullets were prepared for Luo Feng and Gao Feng respectively.
Gao Feng, who was crouched beside the twin tailed tiger cat corpse, had his back turned to the direction of the bullet and did not see it at all.
With a sudden force while cutting the corpse, Gao Feng’s body shifted slightly. That movement caused the bullet aimed at his head to miss, just as he was about to comment on the toughness of the monster’s skin.
Whoosh.
The high speed armour piercing bullet brushed past his ear, the strong airflow causing his ear to bleed.
Bang.
The bullet then struck Zhang Ke, who was beside him, in the shoulder. The shot, powerful enough to shatter the armour of a low level commander beast, instantly crushed his shoulder muscles and bones. His entire right arm was blown away, blood spraying everywhere like a fountain.
“Ah!” Zhang Ke screamed in pain.
“Sniper bullet!”
Gao Feng stared at the blood spraying from Zhang Ke’s severed arm, some of it even splashing onto his face. His eyes turned red and he roared, “Enemy attack!”
“Which bastard is it!” Wei Tie and Wei Qing also shouted angrily.
At the same time as their rage, the Fire Hammer Squad immediately moved. No one dared to stay in place under sniper fire. Gao Feng had only narrowly avoided death because his movement while cutting the corpse caused the bullet to miss his head.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Four more gunshots rang out.
“There!” Gao Feng and Luo Feng and the others all stared in the direction of the shots with bloodshot eyes.
On a distant rooftop, several shadows flashed and disappeared.
“It is the Tiger Fang Squad!” Gao Feng gritted his teeth. “Tiger Fang!”
Luo Feng had not seen it clearly. The distance was too far, and the Tiger Fang Squad vanished too quickly. Only Gao Feng, whose physical ability was close to intermediate warlord level, could clearly make them out.
“The Tiger Fang Squad? Zhang Zehu’s Tiger Fang Squad?” Luo Feng’s anger surged. He had previously investigated Zhang Zehu and knew he was part of that team. “They actually want to kill me?”
A cold feeling spread through him.
Luo Feng truly realised that warriors were not peaceful among themselves.
“Zhang Ke!”
“Old Zhang!”
Everyone rushed over. Luo Feng also went to Zhang Ke’s side. Zhang Ke lay on the ground, face pale, his right shoulder completely shattered, his arm gone. His combat suit was also torn. The power of that shot was terrifying. Chen Gu hurried to stop the bleeding.
“It was me. Zhang Ke, you took that shot for me,” Gao Feng said, covering his ear.
“Brother Zhang.” Luo Feng clenched his fists, eyes red.
Zhang Ke and Chen Gu had been the ones who brought him into the Fire Hammer Squad.
“Not good!” Gao Feng’s expression changed. “Run!”
Just now, Tiger Fang Squad had fired six bullets. Two targeted Luo Feng and Gao Feng, and the other four were aimed at surrounding monster groups. At this moment, roars of monsters could be heard all around.
The squad immediately understood why those extra four shots had been fired.
“So vicious.”
“They want to wipe us all out.”
“Run!”
Wei Qing carried the heavily bleeding Zhang Ke on his back, and the group immediately fled.
Boom, boom, boom.
A large group of iron fur wild boars appeared ahead, charging like an earthquake. Before they could change direction, even more violent shaking came from behind.
An even larger beast tide approached, including horned boars and lion hound beasts. More than a thousand monsters in total.
“Big trouble.”
Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
“Climb the wall!” Gao Feng ordered.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
They quickly climbed over a broken wall, but the enraged monsters, now associating humans with the attack, charged forward in fury. The wall collapsed instantly under the impact of dozens of horned boars.
The Fire Hammer Squad looked back and turned pale.
“Brothers, this time it is life or death. Run for your lives. Survive however you can. If we stay together, we all die,” Gao Feng shouted with red eyes. “That damn Tiger Fang Squad. If I survive, I will make them pay in blood.”
“Split up and run!” Wei Tie and Wei Qing said through gritted teeth.
Even warlord level experts could only flee in the face of over a thousand monsters.
“Tiger Fang Squad, Zhang Zehu!” Luo Feng felt a surge of rage. He suspected this attack was because he had forced Zhang Zehu to lose a huge amount of money last time, possibly one hundred million. “Was this because of me? Because of me, did Brother Zhang end up like this?”
Guilt and killing intent rose in him.
“Zhang Zehu! Tiger Fang Squad!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned red.
“Captain, Brother Chen.” Luo Feng shouted.
His roar made Gao Feng, Wei brothers, and Chen Gu all look at him in shock.
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and said, “Follow me. All of us can get out of here alive.”
With a whoosh, several flying knives at Luo Feng’s waist rose into the air, hovering and circling around him.
