A Shift in the Frontline Clash
Whether the entrance to the Jianing Hall has any effect depends solely on word-of-mouth marketing.
Jiang Feng felt great after trying it, and Zhen Mei also felt it was fantastic.
This gradually attracted others to come, including Zhu Shengnan, who was known for her fierce fighting.
There's a reason why so many young people in Western Capital City fight so hard: as long as they survive, it will be a badge of honor for them to join the Sequence Committee future.
As long as they meet the requirements, their achievements are enough to support them for a long time.
Besides the mandatory requirement, this is also the reason why everyone is working so hard.
If they get a head in such an operation, that's their proof of honor.
"Thirteen corpses. Can we get up now?" Ren Yisheng asked in a low voice.
"I feel like there aren't any more snipers around, but it seems like there's no need for us to get up!"
The Jianing Palace was not the center of the battlefield, nor was it a key location for the fighting, but as more people were drawn to it, the number of corpses on the ground also increased.
The presence of two fake corpses and thirteen real corpses scattered around the area fueled intense fighting.
The fact that there were few people around the Jianing Hall cast a shadow over the area.
But this shadow is directed at the rioters.
A total of eight people came for help, including Jiang Feng and Zhu Shengnan who brought several opponents with them.
The truly important person to arrive was Jiang Chao, who was also Jiang Feng's father.
Monitoring communications during frontline combat is extremely difficult, and the fighting in frontline areas is even more dangerous, as firearms, grenades, and genetically engineered weapons can all be deadly.
Without Chang Kong Yinghao, Chang Kong Yinglian, and Luo Hui, the Sequence Committee of Western Capital City is without its Sixth Sequence Member, making it difficult for even Zhou Rihui to compete.
Jiang Chao knew that the current Sequence Committee in Western Capital City was of varying quality, but he did not expect to be defeated in the confrontation.
Zhou Rihui failed to stabilize the situation, as did Zhou Yueyan. The one who truly posed a threat was Song Bu'er, who was skilled in manufacturing firearms and sniping.
If Song Bu'er hadn't possessed a certain degree of deterrent power, they would have collapsed even faster.
But Song Bu'er is human, not a god. Especially since a skilled sniper needs to remain hidden, he cannot possibly take care of others.
This also plunged the Sequence Committee into chaos and conflict on all sides.
The rioters were unable to storm the Old Age Mansion to restrain Chang Kongluo and other senior Sequence Holder, but Zhou Yueyan and the others were also unable to open the Old Age Mansion to invite Chang Kongluo and the others out.
Even though Chang Kongluo and the others knew that a fierce battle was taking place outside, they were still unable to break into the main structure of the house, which was designed to be heavily guarded.
Some of the houses inhabited by elderly Sequence Holder can even withstand rocket attacks.
The scene was chaotic, and it was in this chaos that Jiang Chao encountered his opponent, Zhang Li, Fifth Sequence individual.
Zhang Li is a very ordinary name.
But as long as it's associated with Zhang Qiaoen's son, this otherwise ordinary name gains a powerful aura.
This is a master who is quite different from the second generation of the powerful Lineage in Western Capital City. In fact, Zhang Li's strength is even higher than Jiang Chao's.
Zhang Li, true to his name, is skilled in the ever-evolving and developing Giant Ape Force. A single punch from him is like a steel hammer, capable of denting even a steel plate.
Moreover, Zhang Li is not an ordinary high- Sequence Holder. He is extremely skilled in ancient martial arts combat, Gene Fighting Technique have been integrated into his martial arts, resulting in extremely powerful lethality.
If you can use less force, your opponent won't use more force either; Zhang Li's punches didn't cause any damage to the buildings.
But when his punch landed on Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao's armored body was almost bent over, and his chest frame cracked to the point of near breakage.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Chao saw the text flashing on the communicator hanging on his waist, as well as the desperate escape.
For Jiang Chao, Jiang Feng's message became his only lifeline.
Within the Sequence Committee, very few people can withstand the tension.
Zhou Rihui's reckless actions and subsequent setbacks further narrowed the pool of people who could restrain Zhang Li.
If everyone else is preoccupied with their own problems, Jiang Chao has nowhere to turn for help.
He pressed his hand to the fracture in his chest, clinging to life as he charged forward amidst the chaotic clash.
"No one can save you!"
Zhang Li's steady, cold voice was like a hypnotic incantation.
Apart from a handful of people, Zhang Li doesn't have many rivals at the Fifth Sequence level.
Of course, there aren't many people at this sequence level. Even in Western Capital City, where sequence masters gather, there are only about forty people who belong to the Fifth Sequence. Among these people, there are many who have gone out and many who have gone to Qinmeng.
This makes Zhang Li have few rivals.
The injury suffered by Zhou Rihui further exacerbated this situation.
According to Zhang Li and his team's intelligence, as long as they can contain and guard the Elderly Mansion, trapping these Elderly Sequence Holder inside and preventing them from leaving, their team will surely win and replace the current Sequence Committee.
The potential profits were far greater than they could have imagined.
Zhang Li even believed that if it weren't for Western Capital City's control over the entire country, his father, Zhang Qiaoen, would certainly be at the same level as Zhou Xin, and his strength wouldn't be limited to the Fifth Sequence.
The reason for this is that the interest groups and the Sequence Committee in Western Capital City control the most advanced and cutting-edge technologies, while their local areas are second to none, which has created an imbalance.
However, Western Capital City made a foolish move in its attempt to prevent risks in its old age.
If Zhang Li hadn't failed to find the device to subdue the rioting elderly at the Old Age Mansion, he was certain that Zhang Qiaoen would have ruthlessly suppressed and killed the numerous Sequence Holder in the Old Age Mansion, thus preventing future troubles.
"Father's inside mansion has terrible information, but we'll find out how to enter the Twilight Mansion normally sooner or later. Of course, it doesn't matter if we can't find it; not every area of the Twilight Mansion can withstand rocket artillery!"
There are indeed many ways to kill someone.
Especially when targeting these fixed individuals, there are countless ways to eliminate them.
The only requirement is that Zhang Li and others need to take over the authority to govern Western Capital City.
The timeframe isn't too far off.
When the strength of individual humans increases rapidly, the overthrow of power no longer requires countless lives lost in repeated battles, but rather falls under the same decapitation strategy.
Whether the subordinates are obedient or not is not important. If they are disobedient, you can simply replace them with a new batch until you have obedient people. Everything is just like in the British Alliance State.
The deterrent power of strong individual armed forces is beyond the imagination of people outside this era. As long as it does not cause a large number of people to be displaced, the lower classes will not care who the higher-ups are, and all aspects will continue to operate normally.
Without Luo Zhong, the imperial court continued to operate under Sequence Committee.
Without this term of the Sequence Committee, there is still their Southwest Region replacement operation.
The world never stops turning without anyone, not even the most important emperor.
Zhang Li moved with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, as if he were running swiftly through the wind.
His claws were like hooks. He reached out and grabbed at Jiang Chao, who was fleeing for his life, and forcibly tore off a piece of blood-stained flesh.
The intense pain caused Jiang Chao to let out a roar like a beast before its death.
The fist, clad in blue armor, came swinging wildly. Zhang Li snorted coldly, his right hand gleaming slightly white, and he threw a punch in return.
With the combined force of the triple punch and the Giant Ape Force, Zhang Li was certain that no one Fifth Sequence the Scarlet Alliance State had a stronger punch than him, and even Zhou Rihui could only withstand it and could not retaliate.
The violent impacts did not break Jiang Chao's hand bones as Zhang Li had imagined.
Using the force of his punch, Jiang Chao's body was sent flying like a cannonball.
How far can a snake with a severed tail run?
Jiang Chao's behavior of fleeing even at great personal cost was seen by Zhang Li as a desperate act of panic at the end of his rope.
Killing such an opponent even made him feel somewhat ashamed.
He felt that it would be more comfortable to quickly kill the opponent and find other people sooner.
He sprinted and leaped out of the corridor, then somersaulted and jumped out of the area.
As he looked up, the sight of the Jianing Palace came into view, and the sight of more than ten corpses lying in the courtyard outside the palace made him frown slightly.
He watched Jiang Chao stagger and fall to the ground, running for his life. He glanced around for a few seconds, then reached out and grabbed a metal trash can placed to the side.
He waved his hand, and the trash can flew towards Jiang Chao.
The sound of a thud echoed as Jiang Chao landed, but no one came to his aid, which eased Zhang Li's brow.
He took a few steps and threw a punch at Jiang Chao, who was lying on the ground.
But in an instant, Zhang Li felt a blur before his eyes, and Zhang Qiaoen, wielding a long sword, stood right in front of him.
"Li'er, come and have a go!"
Zhang Qiaoen reached out and picked up the knife; the blade gleamed coldly.
Zhang Li felt that this was the scene from last night, but in a daze, he also felt that it was some words Zhang Qiaoen said before leaving that made him have the lingering thought of storming Western Capital City. The real him was still fighting with Zhang Qiaoen.
"Father, please forgive me!"
Zhang Li responded with a fist salute as always, quickly assuming a stance for sparring.
He reached out and pulled, but Zhang Qiaoen had already slashed down with her sword.
As the blade struck, Zhang Li felt an excruciating pain. He saw that Zhang Qiaoen's blade had pierced his own heart, almost tearing it out.
In his hazy vision, he saw again the Jianing Palace he had been longing for, and the corpses scattered everywhere.
"You bastard, you've finally fallen into Master Jiang's hands!"
A furious voice rang out, and Zhang Li swayed his heavy body. He opened his mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the blood-red world before him, Zhang Li couldn't believe what was happening to him.
