"Then let's see if this body of mine can take it!"
Jiang Li watched the dozens of Tusked Wild Boars charging toward him, several of which had reached Junior Beast General level. The killing intent in his eyes grew stronger, and the blood energy throughout his body began to surge.
The next moment.
A flash of glass-like light flickered across Jiang Li's body once more, this time even stronger than before.
Clang clang clang!
The Tusked Wild Boars slammed into Jiang Li's body, producing a terrifying sound.
But Jiang Li stood completely still, a hint of excitement creeping onto his face as the corner of his mouth curled into a bloodthirsty grin.
"Time to die!"
Boom boom boom!
All the blood energy in his body converged into his fists. Jiang Li's punches flew like shadows, blasting apart the dozens of Tusked Wild Boars charging toward him, while the buildings on both sides collapsed along with them.
In an instant, the alley was buried under rubble and debris, but blood gushed like a spring, continuously seeping out from the ruins.
Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, and the Wei Brothers, who had regrouped with Chen Gu, heard the massive explosion and couldn't help turning back to look. Though they couldn't see the whole process, just witnessing the result made them gasp sharply.
"Is Jiang Li really this strong?!"
"This is terrifying!"
"Psychics really are all freaks!"
"How many monsters does it take to satisfy him?!"
"..."
They had always known Psychics were abnormal, but they never imagined this level of abnormality.
"Hmm!"
The sword handle vibrated. Jiang Li switched from fists to blade, sweeping out in an arc. The blade light was like flowing radiance, too fast for the naked eye to track.
Every monster within fifty meters was either cleaved apart by the sweep or had its head pierced through by flying swords. In an instant, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
"Brother Jiang, I'm done!"
It took a full five minutes before Luo Feng finished skinning the Silver Moon Dire Wolf.
"Let's move! Head east!"
Jiang Li didn't hesitate for a moment. No matter how strong his combat power was, even he would run out of steam against an endless tide of monsters.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Jiang Li leaped, and the Blood Shadow War Sword instantly flew beneath his feet.
Luo Feng also controlled his shield, jumping aboard, and the two quickly sped off toward the east.
Night fell, and the silver moon washed the world clean.
Under the moonlight, in the ruined county town.
Two figures moved like swimming dragons, swiftly weaving through the devastated industrial park and flying toward the rooftop of the thirteen-story building.
The other five members of the Fire Hammer Squad were resting there.
"They're here!"
"Good, nobody's hurt, right?"
The Fire Hammer Squad members raised their binoculars, spotted Jiang Li and Luo Feng flying over, and immediately went to meet them.
"No, we got the materials!"
Luo Feng smiled and patted his bulging backpack. "At least it wasn't all for nothing!"
"Amazing!"
"Freaking awesome!"
"Jiang Li, from now on, we're calling you big brother too!"
The Fire Hammer Squad members each gave a thumbs-up, exclaiming in admiration.
Facing hundreds or even nearly a thousand monsters alone!
Forget about strength—just that kind of guts alone was something none of them could match.
"Too bad four of the Fang Squad got away."
Though Jiang Li could control the Blood Shadow War Sword for swift, deadly strikes, his psychic range was still limited. Pan Ya and the others reacted quickly, and with a War General's explosive speed, they instantly escaped Jiang Li's psychic detection range.
"Fang Squad!"
At the mention of Fang Squad, Gao Feng couldn't help touching his bandaged head and gritted his teeth. "Next time we meet, I'll make them taste the power of my Double Wind Hammer!"
After years of practicing with hammers, this was the first time he'd smashed his own head!
As he spoke.
Gao Feng solemnly cupped his hands toward Jiang Li in gratitude. "Jiang Li, no need for words. I, Gao Feng, owe you my life."
"Captain, you're being too serious!"
Jiang Li steadied Gao Feng's hand, smiling. "I'm a member of the Fire Hammer Squad too."
"Haha!"
Chen Gu laughed heartily. "My eye for talent is still sharp—Psychics are so rare, and I found two at once!"
Wei Tie and Wei Qing were also beaming. "Psychics! Our Fire Hammer Squad has two of them now!"
"Heh, I bet the Fang Squad is scared out of their wits right now. Offending a Psychic—they don't even know how to spell 'death'!"
Zhang Ke let out a strange laugh. "Rumor has it that a Psychic's mental power is one or two levels above their physical ability!"
"Looking at it that way, Luo Feng's strength is equivalent to a mid-level War General now!"
"Jiang Li, you're..."
"A War God?!"
Every warrior knew how terrifying a Psychic was!
At the same rank, they absolutely crushed other warriors!
No matter how exquisite your sword technique, blade art, or spear skill, a Psychic could control objects to fly, retreat to a distance, and attack remotely. Below the War God level, it was almost unbeatable.
What's more.
A Psychic's flight speed with controlled objects was more than double that of a warrior at the same rank.
Even if the rank gap was large, a Psychic could rely on speed to escape.
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Jiang Li shook his head.
In terms of pure attack power, the inner force he unleashed with the 'Yin-Yang Chaos Taiji Art,' combined with the Diamond Glass Divine Art and other techniques, could reach the level of a War God. But which War God didn't have secret skills?
Besides, in speed, neural reaction, and agility, he hadn't reached War God standards.
Strength alone couldn't beat a War God.
"Heh, no matter what, Jiang Li alone could wipe out the entire Fang Squad!"
Chen Gu grinned. "They'll probably regret ambushing us for the rest of their lives!"
"Exactly!"
"Right, Captain, Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, Brother Tie, Brother Qing—I hope you all can keep this as secret as possible and not reveal our secret!"
Luo Feng thought it over and finally made his request. "I didn't want everyone to worry before, but once a Psychic is exposed, our peaceful life might not last!"
"That's true, but if the higher-ups at the martial arts hall find out you're Psychics, they'll definitely invest in training you!"
Chen Gu said after some deliberation.
It would be best for them to stay in the Fire Hammer Squad, but as Psychics, if they received the martial arts hall's full support, their future achievements would surely be greater.
It was a trade-off.
"Mm, Chen Gu's right."
Gao Feng nodded and smiled. "But as squadmates, we naturally won't reveal it. How you choose is up to you!"
"We swear to keep our mouths shut!"
Wei Tie and Wei Qing made a zipping gesture over their lips.
A Psychic was a trump card—hidden, it was a true ace in the hole.
"It's just that Jiang Li's secret as a Psychic probably can't be hidden anymore!"
Zhang Ke glanced subconsciously at Jiang Li's Blood Shadow War Sword. Now he finally understood—Jiang Li carrying a sword wasn't for show!
It was truly a killing sword!
(Chapter End)
Chapter 27: Encountering the Fang Squad Again
"I don't mind."
Jiang Li smiled. "My wife doesn't really like me coming to the wilderness area anyway. If I could go to the Special Training Camp, she'd probably be happier."
Gao Feng: "..."
Chen Gu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
After the Fire Hammer Squad's excitement died down, they began planning their return route.
Under the starry sky, in the desolate wilderness, some rejoiced, and naturally, some grieved!
"They're dead! A-Xiao and A-Dong are both dead!"
