Combined Attack

Zhang Xuezhou belatedly realized that every move Emperor Jing made was correct.

During the transfer of imperial power, Emperor Jing eliminated the Prince of Liang, the new emperor's biggest rival.

However, this transition was not handled well when the power changed hands in the Western Capital City Sequence Committee.

Limited by the rules of modern society, the infighting within the Sequence Committee, and insufficient control over local forces, the Scarlet Alliance State overlooked several uncontrollable big fish.

Joe Zhang is one of them.

When the enemy saw an opportunity to enter Western Capital City and seize power, the resulting deaths and injuries were unbearable for many.

Having not experienced the bloodshed and fire of decades ago, many members of the Sequence Committee are not as capable as their fathers, but apart from a few like Zuo Jin who ruined their health, many have room for improvement.

Perhaps these people will step into the Sixth Sequence at some point, thus becoming the true bulwark capable of fighting on the front lines.

While Western Capital City was hunting down ferocious insects and beasts to prevent widespread bloodshed, other cities in the province were plotting to overthrow the Sequence Committee.

Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath, completely unaware of how things had developed to this point in just over ten days.

He strode a few steps atop the Jianing Palace, and as he crouched down, he couldn't help but glance at the distant view.

Besides Song Bu'er and others who were skilled in spear fighting, the Zuo Household brothers, who had been stuck in the Third Sequence for many years, were obviously also quite good at spear fighting.

The occasional sniper shots proved that the battle was still ongoing.

Although he didn't know how well the Zuo Household brothers fared, Zhang Xuezhou at least saw Zuo Quan firing his gun.

He took a deep breath, and then fired another bullet.

When Zhou Rihui's frantic roar reached them, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel powerless to continue shooting.

Not only did Zhang Qiaoen block his bullets, but she was also able to keep an eye on her surroundings during the fierce fight, using a grab and throw to shield Zhou Rihui in front of her.

A shot landed on Zhou Rihui, causing him to bend over in extreme pain. Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that it was not easy to shoot Zhang Qiaoen from a distance, which explained why Song Bu'er had a headache dealing with this kind of opponent.

"When fortune is at its peak, it declines greatly. My repeated misses are a sign of this decline, and those who hit their own side are even more unlucky!"

If it weren't for the fact that the person fighting ahead was someone like Zhou Rihui, a master of Black Armor Combat Technique, Zhang Xuezhou's spear strike would have been enough to seriously injure or even kill him, and the subsequent battle would have been one-sided.

"Stop the fighting!"

After a few seconds of thought, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to activate the Ceasefire Technique, and then leaped forward continuously above the main hall.

Occasionally, the Crane Soaring can make him float and fall.

His figure was eye-catching but not overly conspicuous.

With the clearance granted, hundreds of special forces personnel, armed with guns and various other weapons, also rushed to the scene.

Some people put out the fire, some charged forward, and others closely followed Zhu Shengnan and her group who were charging in from the front.

Even high- Sequence Holder couldn't defeat Zhang Qiaoen, so these special task force members who hadn't even reached the Third Sequence were clearly useless. Their only purpose was to risk their lives for a chance to kill the enemy.

Superhuman strength, scaling walls and rooftops, explosive punches, unerring marksmanship, mastery of traps and hidden weapons...

Many of these abilities seem impressive to the average person, and are even the most valuable skills of sequencers, relied upon by many Sequence Holder. However, these abilities are completely useless in this situation.

"My father went to Qinmeng. As long as he knows we're dead, he'll definitely come back for you!"

In just about a minute, Zhou Rihui, who still had most of his energy left, had two bloody grooves slashed across his face by the ring-pommel broadsword, and the knife wounds on his body were almost to the bone.

Even Zhou Yueyan, who was protecting Ren Yisheng, could only utter harsh words.

"Snort!"

Zhou Yueyan's only response was a cold snort.

Zhang Qiaoen had previously avoided fighting Zhou Xin because he was inferior to him. When he entered the Twilight Mansion, Zhou Xin was the first person he wanted to deal with. Little did he expect that the Sequence Committee would send Zhou Xin to Qin Meng instead.

This is completely inconsistent with their information.

Zhang Qiaoen felt that she was in a terrible state of mind at that moment.

He engaged in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat with Zhou Rihui, who fought recklessly and without any strategy, making it nearly impossible for Zhou Rihui to wield his ring-pommel broadsword effectively.

But Zhang Qiaoen never focused her attention entirely on Zhou Rihui.

He was more focused on the middle-aged man behind Zhou Yueyan, who was constantly shifting positions with a cane, wary of the man suddenly becoming intimidating.

Zhang Qiaoen also diverted some of her attention to the sniper in the distance.

He clearly distinguished the primary and secondary roles among the many people he dealt with.

At this moment, Zhang Qiaoen was stalling for time. As long as the old friends who entered the Twilight Mansion could get things done, everything he was facing would no longer be a problem.

Two of these people are in the Sixth Sequence, and six are in the Fifth Sequence. Once they deal with the old people in the Twilight Mansion, they will surely crush this group of weak and useless Sequence Committee members when they return.

Once these major concerns are removed, everything Zhang Qiaoen faces will stabilize.

As for Zhou Xin, it would be a bit slow for the other party to receive the message, and Zhang Qiaoen would prepare dozens or even hundreds of rockets for Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin had never dared to conduct a forceful investigation in Linjing City before, and Zhang Qiaoen did not believe that the other party would dare to face all of this alone after losing power.

He clashed with Zhou Rihui's iron fist several times with the hilt of his sword, then swung his ring-pommel sword in a backhand motion, the tip of the blade flashing white light as it sliced across Zhou Rihui's ashen face once more.

The knife strike that could have severed Jiang Chao's head only left a bloody groove on Zhou Rihui's face, revealing his teeth.

Without any pain or expression, Zhou Rihui thrust his knee into Zhang Qiaoen's abdomen with a dull thud.

The immense force struck, causing Zhang Qiaoen's internal organs to churn violently.

"Damn gunman!"

Zhang Qiaoen was wearing a hundred-pound iron shirt. Once this weight was removed, Zhou Rihui's punches and kicks would be too fast to hit her, making it difficult for him to risk his life for injury.

However, Zhang Qiaoen also fears that top shooters might find an opening. Her limbs and head are extremely flexible parts, and her large body makes it difficult to dodge during a fierce battle.

If the opponent manages to land a fatal blow on Zhou Rihui, they could potentially snipe him again.

"Pooh!"

One Zhou Hui relentlessly pursued her, another gunman was impossible to defend against, and yet another Ren Yisheng was watching intently, trying to regain his footing and intimidate her with his fighting skills. Unfortunately, Zhang Qiaoen was unable to quickly resolve any of these situations and could only wait.

"A bunch of blind fools! This is no place for you to join the fun!"

As his gaze swept over the swarming task force members in the distance, Zhang Qiaoen reached for his knife in the back of his hand. Without even aiming, the throwing knife on his back had already transformed into a streak of light and flown out.

Zhang Qiaoen couldn't lock onto Ren Yisheng, nor could he kill the gunman, nor could he kill Zhou Yueyan with a single blow, but killing a bunch of henchmen was no problem for him.

This strike was not only to kill, but also to establish authority, to prevent these weak task force members from causing trouble.

A flash of white light streaked past, and four headless bodies collapsed in the chaos, prompting a group of special task force members to shout in alarm, with some also yelling in panic. The people who rushed into the old mansion were thrown into disarray.

"We're at your deterrent range, let's take him down together!"

Just as Zhang Qiaoen calmed down a little, she heard Ren Yisheng nose was bleeding, shout loudly.

This made his heart tighten.

Just as Zhang Qiaoen realized he had overlooked something, his vision blurred, and a feeling of being stared at from the depths of hell washed over him.

The flames rose rapidly, as if to incinerate his body completely.

This is a deterrent effect that is completely different from what I've experienced before.

Zhang Qiaoen felt a chill in his heart. As he tried to regain his senses and barely sense his physical body, he bit his tongue to wake up. He saw Zhou Rihui, who was fighting like a madman, with his mouth wide open, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth, biting down on his neck.
