"Captain, look! There's another squad!"

The sniper lying in ambush suddenly spoke up. "Looks like the Fire Hammer Squad!"

"What!"

At the same time.

The Fire Hammer Squad launched their assault on the Silver Moon Dire Wolf. Chen Gu fired two shots first, grazing the corner of the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's eye.

After being hit, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf quickly ducked into a nearby alley.

Clearly.

Its intelligence was enough to judge the weakness of human firearms.

In the crisscrossing maze of alleys, heavy sniper rifles were hard to bring to bear!

"Too fast, we can't catch up!"

Gao Feng, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing had just charged into the alley when they saw the Silver Moon Dire Wolf vanish around a distant corner like a bolt of lightning.

Luo Feng dashed in from the left alley but couldn't catch it either.

"Is that even supersonic?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Li and Zhang Ke rushed in from the right alley. In the blink of an eye, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf had turned into a streak of silver light and disappeared.

"Captain, this alley is shaped like a tian character. Your directions can box it in!"

At that moment.

Chen Gu, searching for the best sniping position, spotted the terrain advantage.

"Good!"

Gao Feng received the notice and immediately called everyone to encircle it, eventually forcing the Silver Moon Dire Wolf into the middle of the alley.

"Owooo!"

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf looked around, finding all four routes blocked, and stood still on the spot.

Nearly three meters tall, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf let out a hoarse howl. A faint blood-red light flickered in its eyes, and in an instant, energy flooded its fur, turning it from a dull gray-white to a dazzling silver-white!

Suddenly, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf became blindingly bright, the most striking feature being the tuft of blood-red fur on its forehead!

"Everyone be careful, it's about to fight to the death!"

As Gao Feng stepped closer, he warned cautiously, "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Zhang Ke, approach slowly. Jiang Li and I will test how badly it's hurt first!"

"Luo Feng, you're on support!"

Before Gao Feng's words even faded.

'Whoosh!'

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf turned into a streak of silver light, closing in on Gao Feng in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!"

Gao Feng, aside from being a bit slower, was otherwise up to the standard of a mid-level War General. He nearly instinctively swung his twin hammers forward.

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf was blasted back over ten meters, while Gao Feng couldn't stop himself from stumbling back six or seven steps.

"Its strength is around mid-level Beast General!"

Gao Feng immediately judged that the Silver Moon Dire Wolf was badly wounded, able to use at most half its power.

"Owooo!"

Failing in one strike, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf immediately switched directions to break out, and this time, it chose Jiang Li and Zhang Ke's side.

In a flash, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf streaked over as a beam of light.

"Jiang Li, watch out!"

Gao Feng shouted in alarm.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Jiang Li, but the Silver Moon Dire Wolf was simply too fast. Even his own neural reaction speed could only manage an instinctive swing!

"It... doesn't seem fast?"

The moment the Silver Moon Dire Wolf turned its head, Jiang Li's spiritual power spread out instantly.

Within the range of his spiritual power, everything became crystal clear, including every detail of the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's pounce.

"Sword, come!"

Jiang Li called out softly, forming a sword seal with his hand. The Blood Shadow War Sword on his back immediately responded, leaping from its sheath.

However, to keep a low profile, he didn't send the sword flying out.

Instead, he gripped the hilt in his right hand and thrust it into the void at a predicted spot.

Pfft!

At that very instant, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf suddenly realized that the human before it had perfectly anticipated the exact position of its pounce. It sensed the danger immediately.

But!

Jiang Li's sword strike was exceptionally sharp, infused with the intent of Taiji Sword, collapsing the surface at a single point with lethal force.

"Aoow!"

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf let out a miserable howl as Jiang Li's spear forcibly pierced through its skull!

Blood gushed out with a splash, and its pupils quickly lost their luster.

"Thud!"

The massive corpse of the Silver Moon Dire Wolf crashed heavily to the ground, the sound making everyone's hearts tremble.

"Haah! Haah! I can't believe we actually took down a Silver Moon Dire Wolf!"

"We're rich, this haul is huge!"

"Jiang Li, that Silver Moon Dire Wolf was so fast I couldn't even track it, and you still landed a one-hit kill—awesome!"

The Wei brothers and Zhang Ke were buzzing with excitement, but they noticed Jiang Li wasn't as thrilled as expected. "Jiang Li, what's wrong?"

"There's someone on the building across from us!"

Jiang Li glanced toward the position where the Fang Squad was lying in ambush. "Looks like we just stole someone else's prey!"

Chapter 25: Sword Flight, Kill!

"Damn it, damn it!"

Pan Ya of the Fang Squad watched the Silver Moon Dire Wolf get pierced through the brow by Jiang Li's sword, veins bulging with rage.

"Captain, should we kill them?"

Zhang Zehu spoke urgently. "That Luo Feng screwed me out of eighty million, and now the Fire Hammer Squad steals our Silver Moon Dire Wolf!"

"Kill them?!"

The other members of the Fang Squad were slightly startled.

Martial artists robbing and killing in the wilderness wasn't unheard of, but the loose ends had to be tied up cleanly, or the judgment awaiting them would be far worse.

"A high-level beast general-grade Silver Moon Dire Wolf is worth no less than seven hundred million!"

Pan Ya sneered coldly. "It's worth the move!"

"Captain, the one who killed the Silver Moon Dire Wolf has a serious background. Manager Wang once mentioned we shouldn't provoke him!"

The one-eyed man recalled going with Zhang Zehu to the Limit Guild Hall and frowned as he tried to advise.

"A Xiao, this is the wilderness. If someone dies, who would know it was us?"

Zhang Zehu's face twisted with malice.

"Mountain Tiger's right. A Xiao, A Dong, you two take out the one who killed the Silver Moon Dire Wolf and Gao Feng with sniper rifles first, then sweep the nearby monster horde!"

Pan Ya's eyes were cold as he laid out the plan. "We're far enough away that the monsters, after being attacked, won't easily find us—they'll just vent their fury on them!"

"And all we have to do is wait for the prey to come to us!"

Zhang Zehu cackled. "Even if the monsters don't finish them off, once they're exhausted, we'll put a bullet in them!"

"Good plan! If they choose to run, they'll lead a bunch of monsters away, and the job of butchering the Silver Moon Dire Wolf falls to us!"

The sniper A Dong let out a weird laugh as he and A Xiao simultaneously adjusted their rifle sights, aiming at Jiang Li and Gao Feng.

"Kill!"

The Fang Squad leader Pan Ya gave a low command.

Bang!

Bang!

Two heavy, forceful thuds rang out as two armor-piercing rounds tore through the air in an instant, shooting toward the Fire Hammer Squad at the end of the alley.

The sound was loud, but the bullets traveled several times faster than sound—by the time the group heard the noise, the rounds were already upon them!

"Hm?"

Just as Jiang Li warned the others that someone was lying in ambush on the building across, the gunfire erupted.

In that instant, Jiang Li's pupils sharply contracted.

The moment the bullets entered the range of his mental perception, he had already seen through their trajectory. His body flickered, and one armor-piercing round grazed past him.

It was a good thing his mental strength was formidable and his reaction speed nearly flawless.

Otherwise, with the velocity of those armor-piercing rounds, dodging them would have been far from easy.

Bang!
