Flying on Swords, Kill!

"Captain, look! There are people from another squad!"

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

"What?!"

Meanwhile.

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

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

Clearly,

its intelligence was enough to recognize the drawbacks of human firearms.

In the crisscrossing alleys, heavy sniper rifles were hard to use effectively!

"It's too fast! We can't catch up!"

Gao Feng and the Wei Brothers had just charged into the alley when they saw the Silver Moon Dire Wolf flash like lightning, turn at the far end, and disappear.

Luo Feng dashed through the alley on the left, but he couldn't catch up either.

"Is it moving at the speed of sound?"

Jiang Li and Zhang Ke charged through the alley on the right. In the blink of an eye, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf turned into a silver streak of light and vanished again.

"Captain, these alleys form a grid. Your positions are perfect for surrounding it!"

Just then,

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

"Good!"

After receiving the update, Gao Feng immediately called everyone to surround the wolf. In the end, they drove the Silver Moon Dire Wolf into the middle of the alleys.

"Awooo!"

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf looked in every direction. Seeing all four routes blocked, it stood still.

Nearly three meters tall, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf let out a hoarse howl. A faint blood-red gleam flickered in its eyes, and energy surged through its fur, turning it from grayish white to silvery white in an instant!

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf now shone brilliantly. Most striking of all was the tuft of blood-red fur on its forehead!

"Everyone, be careful. It's going to fight to the death!"

Gao Feng approached step by step, warning them to stay alert. "Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Zhang Ke, close in slowly. Jiang Li and I will test how badly it's hurt first!"

"Luo Feng, cover us!"

Gao Feng hadn't even finished speaking when—

Whoosh!

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf became a silver streak of light and was in front of Gao Feng in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!"

Aside from being a little slower, Gao Feng was at the standard of an Intermediate War General in every other respect. Almost instinctively, he swung both hammers at the wolf.

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf was blasted back more than ten meters, while Gao Feng staggered back six or seven steps.

"Its strength is around that of an Intermediate Beast General!"

Gao Feng immediately realized that the Silver Moon Dire Wolf was badly injured and could bring out, at most, half its strength.

"Awooo!"

After its attack failed, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf immediately changed direction and tried to break through. This time, it went for Jiang Li and Zhang Ke.

In an instant, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf turned into a streak of light and shot toward them.

"Jiang Li, watch out!"

Gao Feng cried out.

It wasn't that he doubted Jiang Li. The Silver Moon Dire Wolf was simply too fast. Even Gao Feng's reflexes were only quick enough to let him swing his hammers on instinct!

"It doesn't seem that fast?"

The instant the Silver Moon Dire Wolf turned its head, Jiang Li spread his spiritual power over the area.

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

"Come, sword!"

Jiang Li gave a quiet command and formed a sword seal with his hand. The Blood Shadow War Sword on his back sprang from its sheath.

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

Instead, he held his right hand as if gripping the hilt and thrust toward a spot in the air where he predicted the wolf would be.

Pfft!

At that instant, the Silver Moon Dire Wolf realized that the human before it had pinpointed exactly where it would strike. It sensed danger at once.

But—

Jiang Li's sword thrust was too sharp, infused with Tai Chi Sword Intent. The force concentrated at a single point, carrying a murderous edge.

"Awooo!"

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

Blood gushed out, and its eyes quickly lost their light.

Thud!

The Silver Moon Dire Wolf's massive corpse crashed to the ground, making everyone's hearts jump.

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

"We struck it rich! This is a fortune!"

"Jiang Li, that wolf was so fast I could barely see it, and you still killed it in one strike. You're incredible!"

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

"There are people in the building across from us!"

Jiang Li glanced toward the spot where the Fang Squad was hiding. "Looks like we took someone else's prize!"

Chapter 25: Flying on Swords, Kill!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Pan Ya of the Fang Squad watched Jiang Li pierce the Silver Moon Dire Wolf through the forehead with a single sword thrust, his veins bulging with rage.

"Captain, should we kill them?"

Zhang Zehu urged. "That Luo Feng cost me eighty million, and now the Fire Hammer Squad has stolen our Silver Moon Dire Wolf!"

"Kill them?!"

The other members of the Fang Squad were taken aback.

Warriors killing and looting in the Wilderness Zone wasn't unheard of, but they had to cover their tracks completely. Otherwise, the punishment awaiting them would be even more terrifying.

"An Advanced Beast General-level Silver Moon Dire Wolf is worth at least seven hundred million!"

Pan Ya sneered. "It's worth killing for!"

"Captain, the man who killed the Silver Moon Dire Wolf has powerful connections. Manager Wang once warned us not to provoke him!"

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

"A Xiao, this is the Wilderness Zone. If they die, who'll know we did it?"

Zhang Zehu's face twisted with malice.

"Mountain Tiger is right. A Xiao, A Dong, take out the one who killed the Silver Moon Dire Wolf and Gao Feng with your sniper rifles, then fire into the nearby monster horde!"

Pan Ya's gaze turned cold as he laid out the plan. "We're far away. After the monsters nearby are attacked, they'll have a hard time finding us. They'll just take their anger out on the others!"

"All we need to do is wait for them to come to us!"

Zhang Zehu gave a sinister laugh. "Even if the monsters don't kill them, we can finish them off with another shot once they're exhausted!"

"Great plan! If they run, they'll lead away a large horde of monsters, leaving us with the job of carving up the Silver Moon Dire Wolf!"

The sniper A Dong chuckled wickedly. He and A Xiao turned their rifles and aimed at Jiang Li and Gao Feng.

"Kill!"

Fang Squad captain Pan Ya gave the order in a low voice.

Bang!

Bang!

Two heavy, muffled shots rang out. Two armor-piercing rounds tore through the air and shot toward the Fire Hammer Squad at one end of the alley.

The shots were loud, but bullets traveled several times faster than sound. By the time anyone heard them, the bullets had already arrived!

"Hm?"

Just as Jiang Li warned the others that someone was lying in wait in the building across from them, a sudden burst of gunfire rang out.

At that instant, Jiang Li's eyes narrowed.

The moment the bullets entered the range of his spiritual power, he detected them. He abruptly shifted aside, and an armor-piercing round grazed past him.

Fortunately, his spiritual power was strong, and his reflexes were nearly at the Perfect Level.

Otherwise, with an armor-piercing round moving that fast, dodging it would have been difficult.

Bang!
