"Hiss—hiss!"

The Red-Horned Black Python, sensing a human charging at it, immediately spat its forked tongue and lashed its tail with a fierce whip, sending a gale of fierce wind sweeping toward its foe!

Jiang Li gripped the Bloodshadow Warblade, leaped, and slashed horizontally from an almost impossible angle.

"Die!"

A flash of crimson light erupted, slamming into the python's neck.

The blade's energy pierced its body like a meat grinder, the terrifying force blasting the lower half of the Red-Horned Black Python apart, sending flesh, blood, and scales flying in all directions.

With a single casual strike, Jiang Li's combat power multiplied by a full 3.2 times.

'Swoosh!'

'Swoosh!'

'Swoosh!'

At the same time, Luo Feng's Bloodshadow Warblade transformed into a series of icy afterimages, reaping the lives of the other black pythons.

"Tsk, with Jiang Li and Luo Feng around, we don't even get a chance to kill any monsters!"

By the time Chen Gu and Zhang Ke surrounded the area, all that was left for them was to collect the materials.

"We'll handle the dissection!"

Gao Feng and the Wei Brothers volunteered.

"When I used Annihilation, I felt a noticeable improvement in my body technique and speed."

"And Hong's most powerful move is his domain..."

Jiang Li sensed something in his heart, as if he'd grasped a thread, yet still came up empty.

"Done!"

Gao Feng grinned from ear to ear: "Counting this Red-Horn, we've hunted at least ten billion worth of materials this morning!"

"Let's go, heading for twenty billion!"

"Haha, twenty billion in one day!"

At that moment, the entire Fire Hammer Squad was pumped up like they'd been injected with adrenaline, resembling a band of bandits storming a village!

Meanwhile, another nine-person squad arrived at City 003, among them some 'old acquaintances' of the Fire Hammer Squad.

At the dilapidated, desolate entrance of the Carrefour Supermarket, severed limbs and broken arms splattered everywhere.

'Shing!' 'Shing!'

'Shing!' 'Shing!' 'Shing!'

Pan Ya of the Fang Squad wielded his Triangular Military Saber like a ghost, madly stabbing around a massive Fang Tiger nearly five meters long.

The Fang Tiger lunged with its claws, but couldn't land a hit on Pan Ya. Amid a series of booming crashes, the surrounding rubble and broken floorboards were sent flying.

"Haha, my body technique is already at the Subtle level. Trying to hit me?"

"Impossible!"

Pan Ya laughed heartily. As the Fang Tiger's claw came down, he sidestepped and thrust again: "Let's see how much blood you've got left to spill!"

"This Pan Ya isn't bad. A mid-level War General who's grasped the Subtle-level Body Technique..."

Walking alongside Pan Ya were three others. One white-haired elder nodded slightly: "He's worth grooming."

Suddenly.

"Hm?"

The white-haired elder sensed something amiss and turned his head.

In the distance, seven human martial artists approached, all of them unmistakably Yellow-skinned.

"It's them!"

Zhang Zehu recognized Jiang Li and the others at a glance, his expression shifting slightly: "Didn't expect to run into the Fire Hammer Squad here. What a small world of grudges!"

(End of chapter)

Chapter 35: Rat Tide, Li Wei Dies!

Jiang Li's gaze swept over the seven ahead, instinctively glancing at Luo Feng, and already guessed the gist of it.

"Guess the world really is small."

Still, it wasn't surprising. City 003 was one of the most dangerous cities in the Eurasian region—anyone who came to brave it was bound to cross paths sooner or later.

"Gao Feng!"

Just then, Pan Ya had successfully killed the Fang Tiger. One foot on the tiger's head, he twirled his Triangular Military Saber and sneered: "If you know what's good for you, get out of this area now. The Thunder Squad might just spare your lives..."

"Otherwise, don't blame us!"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you!"

"This is Senior Liu, our Thunder Squad's captain, and this is Mr. Kalon, our vice-captain!"

The "Senior Liu" that Pan Ya spoke of was precisely the white-haired elder, while that Kalon was a burly white man.

Hearing this, both men furrowed their brows slightly but said nothing.

For martial artists like them who spent years roaming the wilderness, it was normal to make enemies with other martial artists.

However, Pan Ya's blustering, fox-borrowing-tiger's-ferocity attitude rubbed them the wrong way.

"Hahaha..."

Gao Feng, Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the others burst into loud laughter, then Gao Feng's smile vanished, replaced by a look of utter contempt: "Pan Ya, I used to think that while you were vicious and ruthless, you were at least someone worth noting..."

"Now it seems you're only fit to be someone's lackey!"

"Gao Feng, you're asking for death!"

Though Pan Ya was furious, he still glanced at the white-haired elder first: "Senior Liu!"

"Your personal grudges are none of my concern!"

The white-haired elder said coldly. Hearing this, Pan Ya hesitated, his gaze falling on Jiang Li—the Blood Shadow War Sword on his back was all too familiar!

"Don't say that. If Pan Ya can't handle it, you two as captains can lend a hand when appropriate."

Seeing Pan Ya wavering, the Mixed-Blood Youth, who loved watching the chaos, chuckled: "My dad told me to gain experience. Watching martial artists fight is a way to learn too!"

Unlike monsters, this Mixed-Blood Youth wasn't afraid of humans at all.

Because both his parents were War God-level experts.

Hearing the Mixed-Blood Youth's words, Pan Ya's heart steadied. That Senior Liu and Kalon were both high-level War Generals, especially Senior Liu—he was almost at the threshold of War God.

So what if Jiang Li was a Psychic?

How long had it been since he passed the martial artist exam? At best, he was a mid-level War General!

"Gao Feng, we gave you a chance!"

With backing, the former Fang Squad members' courage swelled instantly.

"Oh? Still acting tough?"

Gao Feng, wielding his heavy hammer, wore a completely nonchalant expression: "Pan Ya, don't say I didn't warn you. If you make a move, you're dead for sure!"

All factions had clear rules: martial artists couldn't kill each other.

But they hadn't ruled out self-defense.

"Then you're the one asking for death!"

Pan Ya let out a sharp roar, brandishing his Triangular Military Spike as he charged forward.

"Jiang Li..."

Seeing Pan Ya rushing in, Gao Feng said in a low voice: "Let me settle this grudge myself!"

Most martial artists who ventured into the wilderness had a strong heart, and Gao Feng was no exception.

If Pan Ya were too strong, he'd have no choice.

But Pan Ya's strength was on par with his own, so he naturally wanted to personally avenge that gunshot wound!

"Alright."

Jiang Li nodded, then glanced at the white-haired elder and the white man Kalon beside the Mixed-Blood Youth: "I'll make sure they don't interfere."

"Thanks!"

Gao Feng's heart settled at those words. Swinging his twin hammers, he met Pan Ya head-on, and the two clashed.

'Clang! Clang! Clang!'

The Triangular Military Saber and the Black Heavy Hammer collided a dozen times in an instant. To the onlookers, it looked like two blurs locked in combat on the open ground, each strike carrying a howling gale. Wherever they fought, the ground and buildings were torn to shreds.

"Looks like the captain's improved a lot these days too!"

"Heh, Pan Ya calls this micro-level footwork? It's far worse than Luo Feng's!"

"This Pan Ya acting as a foreigner's lackey is a disgrace to us Hanxia people!"

"Captain, cripple him!"

The Fire Hammer Squad stood by, calm and composed.

Soon.

With a loud 'bang,' the figures in the field suddenly separated. Gao Feng seized the opportunity and slammed his hammer toward Pan Ya's head. The latter was sent flying over ten meters, crashing heavily to the ground and blasting a large crater.

He trembled as he stood up, blood streaming from his seven orifices.

That hammer blow from Gao Feng might not have killed Pan Ya, but it was enough to leave him severely injured.
