Victory Is Everything

Terrifying speed, terrifying power!

At this moment, the Snake's attack speed had reached an unprecedented peak—the speed of sound!

The Snake, having revealed its final trump card, was incredibly powerful, even strong enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao that the Snake had encountered on the world battlefield ten years ago!

Facing such a terrifying monster, the morale of the remaining Fighters instantly collapsed like snowflakes. Even Liu Zhengde's expression turned ashen. His rapid loading and reloading, as well as his counter-attack, were affected, slowing him down by a beat.

This is bad!

A thought flashed through his mind. Before Liu Zhengde could even consider his next move, a gunshot rang out. An attack that wasn't blocked in time instantly created bloody holes in both his hands, and even knocked the gun from his grasp.

"Ah hahaha!!! Ah hahaha!!! You lost, damn it!!! You lost!" Having achieved his goal and secured victory, Edward no longer bothered to load his custom-made pistol. Instead, he laughed maniacally, "I told you I'd make you pay, make you pay for your arrogance!"

"Edward..."

As a Fighter, Liu Zhengde could control his wrist to stop the bleeding and even maintain sufficient combat power with the injury.

But what was the point?

Damage was damage. Since Liu Zhengde was only evenly matched with Edward when he was unharmed, how could he possibly contend with Edward after being injured?

Undoubtedly, Liu Zhengde had lost!

And how could the Snake, which looked like a monster, along with the Tiger and the Ox, who had maintained their composure throughout, be resisted by these remnants?

"Looking at that expression on your face now, that's the expression!" Ever since that brutal defeat ten years ago, Edward, who had always presented himself as cold and ruthless, had his persona completely shatter. He laughed maniacally, tears even streaming from his eyes, "It's a hundred times more satisfying than ejaculating!"

"The people over there have also been captured. What are you going to do next? Are you going to kneel and beg me for mercy? Are you going to crawl and lick my shoes? Maybe I'll let some of your family go?"

"You lunatic!" The smell of blood in the air reached his nostrils. Liu Zhengde wiped his hand on his pants pocket, feeling the final safeguard, and his heart settled.

Liu Zhengde hadn't expected things to escalate to this point, but his many years in the military had ensured he always had a last resort.

A path called mutual destruction!

As a battle-hardened veteran, Liu Zhengde never believed that pleading or warnings would make an enemy spare him.

The only thing that could maintain his dignity was an equivalent threat!

But a question, an event, interrupted his next plan—

"What are you laughing at? Clown?"

A sharp cold light flashed, and head and body were instantly separated.

The moment Edward completely let his guard down, Liu Tian arrived on the battlefield.

"Does your own death make you this happy? Unknown sir."

Just as Liu Zhengde's momentary lapse caused his defeat, Edward's momentary lapse also led to his downfall. However, unlike Liu Zhengde, whom he had deliberately spared, Liu Tian, who didn't know him, had no such patience.

"Wh... what..." A sound came from his throat. The head floating in mid-air seemed to muster its last strength to say something, but how could it speak without a trachea?

Until all signs of life completely disappeared, Edward never managed to utter his last words...

"Nephew? Why are you here?" Liu Zhengde asked. "How are things over there?"

"I've killed all the enemies, so I came to take a look."

Continuously using phantom clones to change his position and avoid being locked onto by the Snake, Liu Tian replied, "I didn't expect to see such a big surprise when I arrived—there are still Fighters in this world who relax their vigilance before a battle is over?"

"Also? You, the one calling yourself the Snake, are you human or ghost?"

Changing positions several times in an instant, but unable to find a good opportunity to strike, Liu Tian felt a subtle threat no matter where he attacked from.

Having little interest in a fight where they were evenly matched, or even where he was at a disadvantage, and with many restrictions, Liu Tian tentatively asked, "Excuse me, gentlemen? Look, your boss is dead. You don't seem like particularly loyal followers. How about we just call it a day?"

"I estimate the army will be here soon. In a head-on confrontation, you can't possibly withstand artillery barrages, can you?"

"I didn't expect Edward, who planned everything, to fall here. Life is truly unpredictable. What do you think? Should we continue fighting? Those cannon fodder definitely won't be able to stop them. We should have less than twenty minutes to retreat."

"Do you know where Edward's money is hidden? He hasn't paid us the full amount yet. Never mind, since he's dead, the remaining commission is gone. Let's go."

The Tiger and the Ox, who seemed to have not wanted to fight much from the beginning and had been slacking off, decided their next course of action during their conversation. Before anyone could process this news, they retreated and left through the gate.

"They... they really left?"

It could only be said that they were decisive. Once they decided to leave, they no longer concealed their movements and departed at high speed. Before long, they were out of Liu Tian's range of perception.

Liu Tian, who hadn't expected his casual remark to actually work, was a little bewildered. "Then it's just you left. You pervert named Snake, how about you commit suicide?"

"Heh, why don't you let me leave too, sweetie?" Although the Tiger and the Ox had left, the Snake showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he chuckled, "Do you want to spend a pleasant night with me?"

"I just can't let a pervert who's been coveting me live."

Although he wasn't entirely sure if the Tiger and the Ox had truly left, time was on his side. Secondly, since they were already out of his range of perception, it was obvious that they, who hadn't practiced any stealth-based martial arts, would find it difficult to launch a surprise attack. Liu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Tian confidently replied to the Snake's question.

"It seems you've got me cornered?" The Snake's head, as if lacking a neck, rotated 360 degrees, following Liu Tian's movements. "You think you'll definitely win?"

"Of course, do you think I could possibly lose?" Liu Tian suddenly shouted, "Second Uncle, fire!"

Following Liu Tian's shout, Liu Zhengde, who had been prepared during Liu Tian's standoff with the Snake, emptied his magazine in 0.1 seconds.

Although the Snake's constant movement prevented the bullets from hitting a single spot and breaking its defenses, it still created an opportunity for Liu Tian.

Monkey Sword Stacked · Heavenly Martial Killing Dao · Heart Severing Path!

The Heart Severing Path was originally a secret technique that focused on seizing openings and delivering a fatal blow. Using the sharp treasure blade gifted by that unknown kind person, Liu Tian left ten deep gashes on the snake's body in just an instant.

It was obvious that with the help of Liu Zhengde, who was able to intervene in this battle, and by maintaining his own composure, the arrogant snake would have had no chance of victory without the help of the tiger and the ox.

"You, you, you! You win unfairly, you win unfairly!" the snake cried out, "Tiger, Ox, I hate you. Edward, why did you have to die so trivially?"

"Idiot!" Liu Tian, with no sense of being a part of a group attack, commented, "In this world—victory is everything!"

"And battle is about the strong preying on the weak!"

"Snake, now, die for me!"
