Breaking Through

Quan Tiehua was running at full speed. The servitor skull in front was also quickly guiding the way. He needed to find a passage that would allow all his brothers to break through quickly.

Before, when he was installing these remaining melta bombs in all the deck compartments below the bridge, his intention was to blast through the enemies in the bridge and send them falling to the lowest level of the entire ship.

But who could have imagined that such a variable would suddenly appear? These Greater Daemons had emerged without any sacrifice.

As he weaved and turned, the servitor skull flying ahead also gradually slowed down. Clearly, he had reached his chosen location, and the auspex hanging from his waist began to emit a faint beeping alarm.

With a sudden stop, he held a Bolter in one hand and the auspex in the other, looking at the swarms of red dots displayed on the screen.

As a specialized auspex, after modification, it could directly pinpoint enemies within a 100-meter radius. This included some Chaos Astartes.

Quan Tiehua hung the auspex back on his waist and took down the bolter pistol from his belt to check its ammunition.

Next, he checked the Bolter in his hand and the various weapons, ammunition, and Power Armour on his body.

Because what followed would be a brutal battle for him.

He took one last look at the progress bar in his mind, which had reached 99%, and then kicked off, charging forward rapidly.

In one hand, he held a Bolter, with every other round loaded with a Kraken penetrator round.

He loaded all the Kraken penetrator rounds he had onto the Bolter. He intended to break through the encirclement ahead with his own strength.

His Magnetic Boots, running at high speed, echoed through the entire corridor with a heavy thudding sound.

The Noise Marines, with their greatly enhanced senses, heard this faint sound from a great distance. They were originally reveling in the emotional pleasure brought by slaughtering loyal Astartes.

But they hadn't expected another unknown creature to disturb them from behind.

One of the Noise Marines at the rear turned around in annoyance. But what greeted him was a flashbang smoke grenade.

It hit his helmet directly, only a few centimeters from his eyes. The intense flash instantly blinded the Noise Marine, whose senses were already fully enhanced.

This sudden turn of events also instantly interrupted the other Noise Marines who were still immersed in their pleasure.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang--

The Noise Marines reacted extremely quickly, turning their Sonic Blasters towards the rear and unleashing a barrage of fire.

But as they fired the first shot, continuous bolter fire tore through the smoke like world-destroying meteors, shattering their helmets and piercing their skulls.

In an instant, several Noise Marines lay lifeless on the ground.

The Crimson Angel Chapter members, who had all retreated into the bridge, immediately noticed the weakened point where the firepower had ceased.

"Break through here!" Chapter Master Affos, supported by several Apothecaries, shouted loudly to the brothers still fighting around him.

Upon receiving the order, the despair that had filled them was immediately lifted as they witnessed this scene.

They all shouted in unison, "For the Emperor!" Those brothers who were closer immediately raised their Bolters and launched a fierce assault towards the Noise Marines firing at them from the passage.

Their swift reaction allowed the members still holding boarding shields to charge to the front, covering the entire corridor as they advanced rapidly.

Veteran warriors clad in Terminator Armour formed the rear of the formation, engaging the surrounding Chaos Daemons.

Quan Tiehua, seeing the panicked Noise Marines, did not hesitate. He drew the Combat Dagger from his belt and charged through the smoke like a demon.

Due to his excessive speed, the thick smoke behind him formed an invisible, trailing cape.

He switched his Bolter rifle to a bolter pistol and fired continuously at the Noise Marines more than ten meters away.

The speed at which an Astartes runs is like a high-speed tank. Even if new recruits lack some speed, their pace is still unstoppable.

After taking the sonic attack from a Noise Marine head-on with his thick shoulder pauldron, he suppressed the negative emotions and the discomfort caused by his internal organs vibrating. He then closed the distance, assuming a leaping attack posture.

This move successfully deceived the remaining few Noise Marines. He then abruptly pulled his body down. His Bolter followed swiftly, and with a turn, he pressed it against a Noise Marine's jaw and fired continuously, blowing off half of the evil skull.

The other Noise Marines reacted and began to concentrate their fire on his position. However, due to the disadvantage of Sonic Blasters in close combat, although their power was greatly amplified in the confined space, the required charge-up time for firing became a fatal flaw.

They unhesitatingly switched their weapons to Bolters one after another and began to concentrate fire on the corpse that was about to fall.

Quan Tiehua, however, directly pulled the body of the falling Noise Marine to use as a shield. Enduring the concentrated fire, he quickly charged towards a nearby Noise Marine.

The firepower followed closely, but he didn't attack. Instead, as he got close, he suddenly kicked the corpse he was holding towards the Noise Marine.

Then, with a turn, he pounced like a hungry wolf towards another Noise Marine on the other side.

A feint.

The other Noise Marines reacted quickly and hastily adjusted their aim. However, Quan Tiehua had already reached the side of that Noise Marine. He thrust his dagger towards its neck, but the Noise Marine merely turned sideways, and the dagger lodged into its hard shoulder blade.

The Noise Marine then retaliated with a powerful shoulder charge. The spikes on its shoulder pauldron instantly pierced Quan Tiehua's Power Armour on his arm.

Intense pain surged through him, followed closely by the Doom Siren on the Noise Marine's power pack, which had been ready for a while.

A fierce sonic attack instantly arrived. Within one second of being hit by the sonic attack, the goggles of Quan Tiehua's helmet exploded, and blood flowed inside.

Taking this attack head-on was not easy. All of Quan Tiehua's internal organs were vibrating and resonating. Blood flowed from his seven orifices like a lively little snake.

But he still held on, gritting his teeth, and quickly adjusted the position of the bolter pistol in his hand, emptying the magazine directly into its vulnerable abdomen.

The terrifying bolter fire at close range turned the Noise Marine's waist and abdomen into minced meat, and its entire lower body collapsed to the ground.

The upper body was then held in Quan Tiehua's hand like a shield.

Although the sonic attack lasted for a considerable time, it still caused some damage to Quan Tiehua.
