"Missed!"
Wang Ji glared fiercely in the direction behind him. The shot had somehow missed, clearly catching the attacker completely by surprise. The attacker flew into a rage and quickly fired several more shots.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Now that Wang Ji was prepared, the firearm was a joke to him. Even without using his Spiritual Force, his physical abilities meant he had nothing to fear from guns. They couldn't hit him at all! And even if they did, his S-Class Combat Suit could keep him from suffering serious injuries.
He'd simply overreacted before. Caught off guard by a high-powered sniper rifle, Wang Ji had been genuinely frightened. Now, though, fury surged through him!
"Bang, bang, bang..." Three sniper rounds swerved strangely in midair from 200 meters away and struck the open ground ten meters away!
"What's going on? Is this some kind of joke?" The opposing squad stared at one another, aghast.
"Whoosh!" Several flying daggers floated in front of Wang Ji.
"A Spiritual Force user!" the other squad cried out in terror!
Spiritual Force users were the very embodiment of envy—and fear!
Conventional weapons were completely useless against them, and their attacks were strange and unpredictable. Spiritual Force users had always been invincible among those of the same level. Most importantly, they could fly!
"Come out!" Wang Ji roared furiously.
Ahead, a squad took up defensive positions and reluctantly emerged from the forest. They stood a full 300 meters away from Wang Ji.
"We have no intention of making an enemy of you! That Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is our prey. We sprayed it with tracking agent!" the opposing squad leader hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" Wang Ji sneered. "Then what do you call this?"
Several bullet casings floated in front of Wang Ji.
The opposing squad leader forced out an awkward smile. "Friend, it was a misunderstanding! A complete misunderstanding! We were trying to shoot the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf! Yes, that's right—we were shooting the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf!"
"Yeah! It really was a misunderstanding!..."
As Wang Ji's expression grew colder, their voices gradually faded.
One of the opposing squad members spoke up indignantly. "Spiritual Force users are strong, but there's only one of him! We have four War Generals! Captain, so what if he's a Spiritual Force user?"
The opposing squad leader nodded and addressed Wang Ji. "Friend, this was all a misunderstanding! I'll decide on behalf of the squad—we can split the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf evenly. How about it?"
Wang Ji's expression remained icy. "How about no?"
"You..." The opposing squad was furious, too. "You may be a Spiritual Force user, but ultimately, it comes down to strength! You're going too far, friend!"
"Whimper..."
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was worthy of its rank as a peak-level Beast General. It was terrifyingly intelligent, too. While Wang Ji and the other squad faced off, it tucked its tail between its legs and tried to sneak away.
"Whoosh!" Wang Ji unleashed his full power. His perfected footwork and astonishing speed carried him forward as his Spiritual Force directed two 9-Series Flying Daggers straight into the wound on the wolf's belly. At the same time, the Heavy Mountain Sword in his hand turned into a hazy streak of blue light.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." In less than ten seconds, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf collapsed, twitching.
The opposing squad was thoroughly shaken. Wang Ji's speed had been almost supersonic! His incredible footwork and sharp swordsmanship proved he was no ordinary War General. He was a top-tier War General, an expert even among the high-level War Generals!
Seeing Wang Ji turn his fierce gaze toward them, the squad leader said, "Friend, this really was a misunderstanding! We turned on our cameras. Warriors aren't allowed to kill one another!"
At Wang Ji's look of disbelief, the squad leader gritted his teeth. "We can compensate you!"
"Thud!" A backpack full of monster materials landed on the ground in front of them.
"Friend! These materials are worth 200 million. They're everything we've collected!"
"Oh?" Wang Ji gave him a faintly amused look. "Not enough."
The squad leader clenched his teeth. "I'll transfer another 100 million to you! That's all we can offer, friend! Otherwise, we'll call it quits!"
"Fine!" Wang Ji nodded.
"Warrior account: 52347*****2217."
The other side made the transfer. Then they looked astonished. "Wang Ji! Are you that genius from the Limit Martial Hall, Wang Ji?"
"Hm?" Wang Ji glared at them.
"Ding-dong! Tiger Fang has transferred 100 million Huaxia Currency to you!" Wang Ji stared back in surprise. "Tiger Fang? You're the Tiger Fang Squad?"
What a coincidence. Wang Ji smiled. Wasn't this the squad that had a grudge against Luo Feng? Could the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf he'd just killed have been the prey that Luo Feng and his team were supposed to claim in the original story?
The other side looked tense. "Friend... We agreed to call it even! You can't come after us over this later!"
Wang Ji smiled, but there was a chill in it. "I was planning to wait until you left and then hunt you down. Who knew you'd be the Tiger Fang Squad? I've heard so much about you!"
The squad leader trembled. "We... Do we know each other?"
Wang Ji smiled. "Since you're the Tiger Fang Squad, I'll let you live." Wang Ji still didn't want to disrupt City Lord Luo's growth too much. The Tiger Fang Squad, after all, had been one of Luo Feng's first important stepping stones.
Before the opposing squad could feel relieved, Wang Ji's flying dagger shot out and instantly took the sniper's life.
"You..." The Tiger Fang Squad immediately raised their swords and blades, taking up defensive positions. "You broke your word!"
Wang Ji smiled. "He shot at me with a sniper rifle. I only killed him. That's pretty merciful, isn't it?" Then he waved them away. "You can go!"
Wang Ji's smile sent a chill through them. They couldn't tell which of his words he'd meant. But standing there facing off against him was a serious test of their nerves.
Facing Wang Ji, the Tiger Fang Squad slowly backed away. They cautiously retreated a full kilometer, then turned and ran.
A short while later, in a safe little building, Zhang Zehu slammed his fist into the ground. "This is humiliating!"
The Tiger Fang Squad's captain glared, too. "It really is humiliating! That Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was nearly dead by the time we finished wearing it down. It was worth hundreds of millions! We even had to pay another 300 million on top of that! That's at least three months of our income!"
"I heard... Night Fire Squad has a grudge against this Wang Ji," a lean, wiry squad member said.
"Night Fire? Night Fire Squad is quite a bit stronger than us. How about we..."
"Let's do it! Skinny Monkey, contact Night Fire!"
"Should we tell them how strong this guy is? He's a pretty famous genius over at the Limit Martial Hall. Last time I heard, he was almost a mid-level War General, even though he was only a Junior War General. What idiot came up with that bogus report?"
"No need! Just tell them we happened to see Wang Ji in County 0201. Don't say another word!" the Tiger Fang Squad's captain said slyly.
"Got it!"
Once they'd made their decision, they immediately got to work.
Wang Ji returned to the Base City with a full haul.
He'd collected a great deal this time, and it was worth a lot, so he brought it straight back to the Base City to sell.
HR Alliance, 36th floor, VIP customer room.
"Mr. Wang, we meet again! This time, our supervisor is personally handling your reception. This is our Supervisor Yu!"
"Hello, hello!" Supervisor Yu greeted him with great enthusiasm. When he heard Wang Ji say that this batch of materials was worth over a billion, he had rushed over in person.
Wang Ji dumped the materials he'd gotten from the Tiger Fang Squad onto the table. Supervisor Yu carefully inspected them. "Mr. Wang, these materials are worth about 190 million at market price. I'll make the decision and offer you 200 million. How does that sound?"
Wang Ji nodded, then handed over the Silver Wolf materials as well.
"Hiss... Silver Wolves! Wolf-type monsters are incredibly strong! Two of them! High-level Beast Generals!" Supervisor Yu solemnly examined them with his instruments. After a long while, he finally said enthusiastically, "They're in excellent condition! Two high-level Beast Generals, at 180 million each. For the other two, I'll offer 90 million for the lot. That makes 450 million total. How does that sound?"
Wang Ji looked up. "Too low."
"Mr. Wang, you have to understand, some Primary Lord-level monster materials only fetch 500 or 600 million. This is already... All right, all right! Since we've done business so many times, I'll offer you a flat 470 million!"
"550 million!"
"Impossible!"
In the end, they settled on 500 million.
"Thud!" The last backpack landed on the table. Supervisor Yu's heart skipped a beat. "There's more!"
The value kept getting higher with each batch. Could this time's materials be...
Supervisor Yu opened the backpack. A wolf pelt shimmering with silver light came into view. The aura of menace clinging to it still hadn't faded, as if it had solidified.
"This is... This is a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf! My god! A hunter—a hunter who took down a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf!"
Half an hour later, Wang Ji left with 1.5 billion. "Now I'm rich!"
