"One sword, a beheading—A Xiao didn't even have time to react!"

"He's at least a high-level Warrior General Psychic!"

In the dilapidated ruins of a civilian house, Old Han of Fang Squad was still trembling, muttering under his breath.

Even a Warrior General's neural reflexes were insta-killed—he couldn't fathom how swift Jiang Li's sword had been!

"Why is this happening?!"

Zhang Zehu's face was deathly pale too. He finally understood why Manager Wang had warned Director Li not to provoke Jiang Li!

This was a mid-level Warrior General Psychic!

"Captain, what do we do?"

"What do we do?"

Pan Ya's face darkened as he coldly stared at Zhang Zehu: "First, let's make it back to the base city alive, then we'll figure it out!"

"If we run into him again, we're all dead!"

Military district, supply base.

"Finally back at base!"

Pan Ya and his three companions practically charged through the base gates, their hanging hearts finally easing.

"Old Pan, why so ragged? Run into some big monster this time?"

Having spent years in the wilderness, the bearded officer at the supply base knew Fang Squad well: "Old Han, where are A Xiao and Dongzi?"

"Brother Hei, they're dead!"

Old Han lit a cigarette, glanced at Zhang Zehu, then took two heavy drags.

"Dead... dead?"

Brother Hei's face stiffened, eyes wide: "You didn't run into a beast tide, did you?"

"Huh? Fire Hammer Squad's back too, and Gao Feng's injured?"

Hearing this, the remaining four of Fang Squad's faces changed drastically as they whipped around to look.

Gao Feng was walking ahead with his head bandaged, the others filing into the supply base behind him.

"A4 Rest Area, Old Gao, what happened to your head?"

The gate officer handed Gao Feng a room card and asked with concern: "Did some monster advance nearby? Fang Squad lost two on their hunt too!"

"Fang Squad's back?!"

Gao Feng's temper flared instantly.

"Captain, Fang Squad's over there, A6 Rest Area!!!"

Wei Tie's roar drew the eyes of everyone in Fire Hammer Squad, and they spotted Pan Ya, Zhang Zehu, and the others talking to Brother Hei at the entrance of A6 Rest Area.

"Pan Ya, stop right there!"

Gao Feng bellowed, charging over with twin hammers in hand.

Pan Ya and his crew's hearts sank at the sight of Fire Hammer Squad, and they wanted to duck into the rest area.

But with Gao Feng's shout, the surrounding martial squads all turned to look.

That left Pan Ya's four with no choice but to stand their ground. If they fled, wouldn't that be admitting guilt?

They'd done the deed, sure, but they'd die before owning up to it!

"Gao Feng, what are you yelling about?"

Pan Ya faced Gao Feng head-on, snorting coldly: "Do you know where this is? This is a military district, a supply point for martial artists. You dare cause trouble?"

Gao Feng alone didn't scare them at all.

What Pan Ya truly feared was Jiang Li, the Psychic.

"Looking for death!"

Burning with rage, Gao Feng swung a black heavy hammer in each hand.

Pan Ya's face hardened as his hands moved with lightning speed, a triangular bayonet darting out like a ghost to clash with Gao Feng's hammer, sparks flying.

Pan Ya stood unmoved, while Gao Feng was forced back three steps.

'BEEP!'

'BEEP!'

'BEEP!'

A piercing siren blared across the entire military supply base. A twelve-man squad in combat gear swiftly surrounded them, rifles raised, as the squad leader barked:

"Everyone, stop!"

"No fighting inside the supply base, or the Guard Squad has the right to kill you!"

With the Guard Squad's arrival, even more martial artists gathered to watch.

Gao Feng knew that supply bases prohibited armed conflict—a rule jointly established by the military, the martial arts halls, and the HR Alliance. Even the War God wouldn't dare break it.

"Pan Ya, I'll pay you back for that shot sooner or later!"

Gao Feng released his heavy hammer and pointed at his own head with a cold laugh. "I've heard before that you Fang Squad are ruthless and underhanded..."

"What I didn't expect was that you'd turn that ruthlessness against other martial artist squads!"

"Not only did you try to blow my head off, you also stirred up a beast horde to surround us Fire Hammer Squad. That's cold!"

"Whoa!"

At Gao Feng's words, the surrounding martial artists burst into an uproar.

"This Fang Squad is way too vicious!"

"Could that squad that got wiped out before have been their doing?"

"Who knows? That Pan Ya from Fang Squad looks like bad news!"

"Better stay far away from them!"

"..."

Listening to the chatter, Pan Ya's face darkened. "Gao Feng, don't slander me. Our squad's sniper died in the wilderness—how could he have ambushed you?"

"If you have proof, go ahead and report it. Don't muddy the waters and stir up trouble here!"

"Pan Ya has a point, actually!"

"Their squad seems to be missing two people!"

"Fire Hammer Squad hasn't lost anyone!"

"Who knows? Maybe they got killed in return!"

"Either way, looks like Fang Squad took the bigger hit?"

"That's what you call trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!"

"Hahaha!"

"..."

"Fine. We'll see about that!"

Gao Feng shot Pan Ya a glare. Arguing with him was pointless.

Everyone knew that martial artist squads often turned on each other, and most of the time, there was no evidence. If you wanted revenge, you had to settle it privately.

Supply Base, A4 Rest Area Villa.

"Captain, don't be mad. If you think about it, we didn't lose anything..."

Chen Gu grinned. "We even snatched a Silver Moon Dire Wolf from Fang Squad!"

Hearing this, Gao Feng, still fuming, broke into a smile. "You're right. I could bash my head a few more times and still not come up with a few billion!"

"Haha!"

They exchanged laughs. Zhang Ke glanced at Jiang Li. "Besides, with Jiang Li here, wiping out Fang Squad would be a piece of cake!"

"I'm just afraid that once Jiang Ge goes back, the higher-ups will drag him off to a training camp!"

Wei Qing smirked slyly. "I just got myself a brother, and I really want to keep hanging out with you..."

"Watch out—your sister-in-law might have something to say about that!"

The Wei Brothers kept teasing without any seriousness.

"Alright, enough messing around."

Gao Feng spoke up. "We didn't spend long out there this time, but we hunted seven Beast General-level monsters in total. The Bloodthirsty Tank was the most valuable. We'll split the money evenly among the squad!"

On the way back, Fire Hammer Squad had also taken down three more Beast General monsters.

"As for the Silver Moon Dire Wolf, Jiang Li contributed the most. He gets sixty percent, Luo Feng gets thirty percent, and the remaining ten percent is split evenly among us. What do you think?"

"We have no objections!"

Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the others immediately agreed.

"Captain, I'm getting too much!"

Luo Feng refused. "Anyone could have dissected the Silver Moon Dire Wolf. Jiang Ge was the one who held off the beast horde alone!"

"Dissecting is a skill too. I sure can't do it!"

Jiang Li smiled slightly. "Captain, I'll take fifty percent. Give ten percent of that to Chen Gu—he burned through a lot of ammo providing covering fire!"

"Huh?"

Chen Gu opened his mouth, then quickly waved it off. "My bullets weren't worth much!"

"Alright, we'll do it Jiang Li's way!"
