Jiang Li swung his blade, and a terrifying thunderclap erupted, obliterating the surrounding vegetation.

Countless bolts of lightning struck out at an inconceivable speed.

"Ptoo!"

"Ptoo!"

Jiang Li clearly heard the sound of the Ironhide Boar's bones shattering. The next second, a horrific arc of electricity slammed into it, instantly turning it into a roasted piglet.

"Looks like I underestimated the physical defense of a Warrior General-level monster."

Jiang Li had just unleashed nearly eighty percent of the Magnetic Storm Light Blade's power, and it was barely enough to instantly kill a monster of the same rank.

That was even worse than he'd expected.

But the others, watching this scene, were all amazed.

"Freak!"

"Monster!"

"Abnormal!"

Gao Feng and the Wei Brothers all sucked in a sharp breath.

"Captain, didn't I tell you? Jiang Li has mastered a secret technique!"

Chen Gu raised an eyebrow, smugly saying, "I didn't expect it to be the Ninefold Thunder Blade, but the destructive power is terrifying."

If it had been any other secret technique, they wouldn't have been so shocked.

But only Annihilation and Ninefold Thunder Blade—even War God-level experts couldn't necessarily get started with them.

It had nothing to do with strength; it was purely about comprehension!

"Jiang Li only joined the Limit Martial Arts Hall two weeks ago, and he's already gotten started with the Ninefold Thunder Blade?"

Zhang Ke exclaimed in amazement, "That's simply unbelievable!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the group shifted again.

That's right.

Only after joining the Martial Arts Hall, the military, or the HR Alliance did one have a chance to learn the two ultimate secret manuals.

In other words!

Jiang Li had comprehended the Ninefold Thunder Blade in just two weeks?

This...

It was like a fairy tale!

Chapter 21: War God Yang Hui, A Big Fish

"Captain, the person I recommended isn't bad, right?" Chen Gu still hadn't realized the issue.

Gao Feng glanced at Jiang Li, who was sheathing his blade, and rubbed his temples. "He's not bad, but I feel like the Fire Hammer Squad might be holding Jiang Li back..."

!!!

Soon.

Luo Feng had also taken down the Sawtooth Dog.

"Captain."

Luo Feng ran over from a distance. "This Sawtooth..."

"You killed it, so it's naturally yours!"

Gao Feng smiled. "Jiang Li, the most valuable part of the Ironhide Boar is its hide, but you've already destroyed it..."

"Ah? Did I overdo it?"

"Still, how much is this thing worth?"

Jiang Li asked curiously.

"If you sell this hide to the Martial Arts Hall, it should be worth a million Hanxia Currency, and you'd also get a few hundred contribution points. If you sell it to the underground alliance, it should be worth two million."

Zhang Ke said with a laugh. "Things like the Sawtooth Dog's teeth are much cheaper, probably only around ten thousand or so."

Only materials from Beast General monsters were valuable.

And the key materials from 'Lord-level monsters' were even more astronomical.

As for Beast Soldier-level monsters, they were very cheap.

After all, Beast Soldier-level monsters could be dealt with using thermal weapons. With good thermal weapons, even non-martial artists could hunt them.

Just as Jiang Li and the others were heading to the next supply station.

At the Jiangnan Guild Hall.

"Special Envoy."

"Wu Tong is online, you can connect with him anytime."

Zhou Zhengyong, the president of the Jiangnan Guild Hall, was personally meeting a special envoy from headquarters: War God Yang Hui.

Yang Hui nodded and activated the projection device.

Soon.

A three-dimensional holographic projection connected, and Wu Tong, far away in Yangzhou City, appeared in the projection room in virtual form. Aside from a faint halo around him, he looked almost identical to a real person.

"Wu Tong pays respects to the president and the special envoy!"

Wu Tong gave a slight bow.

"Iron Hand has already told you why I called you here, hasn't he?"

Yang Hui got straight to the point and ordered, "Tell me everything about that Jiang Li, word for word."

"Yes, sir!"

Wu Tong nodded respectfully, then recounted Jiang Li's affairs in full detail.

On the other side.

After several battles, the Fire Hammer Squad had quietly approached the vicinity of County 0201.

"Jiang Li, Luo Feng, we've been walking along the highway these past few days, sticking to desolate areas."

As they walked, Chen Gu lowered his voice and said, "Most monsters live inside cities. The denser the buildings in a district, the more dangerous it is!"

"Understood!"

In the long war between humans and monsters, while humans kept advancing, so did the monsters.

Most intelligent monsters understood one truth: in open, desolate wilderness, they were vulnerable to 'sneak attacks' from long-range human thermal weapons.

But in dense urban areas, with ruined buildings everywhere and cover at every turn, humans had no choice but to engage in street fighting.

"Our target this time is an Iron Armored Bull!"

Gao Feng waved everyone over and said in a low voice, "The county ahead is the Iron Armored Bull's lair. Its leader should be C-rank, equivalent to a high-level Warrior General."

"And the Iron Armored Bull's lair has a massive number of them. We'll circle around!"

"Chen Gu, don't fire yet. We have to kill it in one strike. If the Iron Armored Bull calls its companions, we'll be in trouble."

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone responded.

The danger levels of suburbs, counties, and urban districts varied. Some urban areas might even harbor Lord-level monsters, which even War Gods would find difficult to handle.

Following an abandoned road into the county, the seven members of the Fire Hammer Squad advanced cautiously.

"Let's go. Head for the rooftop first."

"Everyone be careful. There might be monsters hiding inside the building!"

Before Gao Feng's words had even faded.

"Roar!"

A Tiger Mastiff Dog suddenly pounced from the corner of the stairwell.

'Swish!' 'Swish!'

The Wei Brothers moved almost identically, each with one blade, carving out a 'cross' shape as they directly slew the Beast Soldier-level Tiger Mastiff Dog.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

But the burst of blood scent immediately drew all the Tiger Mastiff Dogs from the entire floor.

Chen Gu glanced at the dozens of Tiger Mastiff Dogs and said gloomily, "Looks like we've poked a hornet's nest of Tiger Mastiff Dogs."

"All Beast Soldier-level. No guns. The six of us will finish this fight quickly!"

Gao Feng didn't hesitate. He swung his twin hammers and charged straight in.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Luo Feng held a shield in one hand and swung the Bloodshadow Warblade with the other.

After several days of fighting, he had also touched the threshold of the Warrior General level, and his blade technique grew more and more proficient.

The Wei brothers coordinated with each other with extreme tacit understanding. As their forms wove together, almost every strike took down a Tiger Mastiff Dog.

Pfft!

Jiang Li and Zhang Ke stepped forward, their Bloodshadow Warblades carrying an unstoppable momentum, one strike per kill.

Soon.

The Beast Soldier-level Tiger Mastiff Dogs were all cleared out, and the seven of them charged straight up to the rooftop.
