Chapter 807: Chapter 807
Before entering the Trojan World, Dantai Zongqi had already stained his hands with the lives of over a dozen people and had long adapted to various brutal realities. He felt no pressure in teaching Liu Gang a lesson, and with a single blow from the back of his curved knife, he knocked out five of Liu Gang’s yellow teeth and left his mouth swollen.
Liu Gang fell to the ground, covering his mouth. He wanted to shout, but the cold look in Dantai’s eyes made him feel a chill run through his body. He was so scared that he didn’t dare to make a peep and quietly moved aside.
"Wait, leave the soul shards behind," Dantai said, pressing the curved knife against Liu Gang’s neck. Even though the value of these shards had greatly decreased, he would gather more whenever he had the chance.
Tang Zheng ignored Dantai’s outburst and turned his attention to Gu Xueqi in front of him, her girlish fragrance still lingering on his lips.
"Don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to make Mei Jueye suffer more," said Gu Xueqi as she clarified and frowned, feeling that she had acted rashly. It was her first kiss after all, but the memory of being killed by Mei Jueye made her lose control and desire to inflict a lasting wound on him.
"A cunning belle who is tough on herself," Tang Zheng did not pursue the matter further. He signaled to everyone that it was time to leave the lobby when he saw Chu Baichuan carrying Ai Yixin in a panic rushing in.
"Tang Zheng, the entire city is filled with Demonic Shadow Cavalry, probably numbering in the tens of thousands," Ai Yixin struggled to get down, but Chu Baichuan didn’t agree. His protective clothing was torn and bloodstained, and he was gasping for breath, exhausted to his core. In order to meet up with Tang Zheng, he had fought his way out of tight encirclement, almost exhausting his life energy.
Sure enough, even a strong man like Chu Baichuan couldn’t keep going and felt his legs give out. He stumbled and fell to the ground. To protect Ai Yixin and collect enough soul shards, he had been pushing himself without rest for days, exhausting too much of his stamina. This was why Ai Yixin insisted on meeting up with Tang Zheng—the couple was close to their limits.
Li Xinlan and Yu Manli ran over to help them. This was a minor issue, no need to bother Tang Zheng with it.
"Fanfan, take out a month’s supply of food and water," Tang Zheng looked at Kita-jima Miki and warned, "Just hide in the aquarium. I think this disaster will be over soon."
"Who are you, really?" Miki sensed the undertone of Tang Zheng’s words hinting at departure, and recalling the photograph her grandmother had given her, she couldn’t help but ask.
"Tang Zheng. Also, do not mention to your grandmother that you have seen me," Tang Zheng finished speaking and no longer concerned himself with Miki. He led the way to the main entrance. The group quickly followed; falling behind now would mean certain death.
"Don’t ; you’ll die," Lu Fan said as he carried Cheng Cheng onto the Giant Spider Mount, warning the policewoman who hadn’t given up hope. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveIＦire.net
As Tang Zheng reached the main entrance, he saw over three hundred Sengoku period warriors clad in red armor, charging past on their fine horses. They had samurai swords at their waists and held yari spears three meters long. Their backs carried Bronze Cannons, and they exuded a lethal aura, clearly ready for the battlefield. Their backs were adorned with banners featuring family emblems that fluttered vigorously in the summer wind due to the rapid charge, manifesting an imposing presence.
Over three hundred cavalry, with an aura that was magnificent and resounding, where they passed, no birds or beasts dared to stay.
"It’s Takeda Shingen’s Kai Cavalry," said Gu Xueqi, standing on the threshold with squinted eyes, sizing up the monsters and quickly calculating how to kill them fastest. As a high school student, Gu Xiaohua had read a wide variety of books, covering a broad range of topics.
"The Tiger of Kai? That’s bad, this guy seems to have the title of the number one general of the Warring States, tough to deal with." Lu Fan gripped the Pepper Grinder, frowning. Since entering Trojan World, Little Lolita had taken a liking to famous generals, so she had read quite a few war-related books.
Tang Zheng hadn’t taken these cavalrymen seriously yet, but continuous explosive fighting had caused severe life energy depletion, and he was feeling somewhat tired. If not for his enhanced body being relatively robust, he would have collapsed from exhaustion by now.
Before the group could come up with a strategy, a scout cavalry spotted them and immediately raised the alarm, summoning the main force to come and attack them.
"Quick, kill the five horn-bearing cavalrymen, don’t let them send messages," Dantai Xiu, having just finished patching up Liu Gang, ran over and quickly spotted the enemies, and immediately raised his rifle to shoot at them.
As soon as Dantai Xiu finished speaking, Tang Zheng had already raised the Demon Slaying Holy Flame, fired three shots in succession, and blew off one’s head. The other Conquerors reacted quickly as well, but their weapons were too lousy; the spiritual power bullets that hit the cavalry armor were repelled, causing minimal damage.
The Hammer Squad from Zhongzhou lacked spiritual power equipment and was at a disadvantage in this magic scene.
Woo, woo, the melodious and deep sound of horns echoed through the streets, traveling far distances.
"Move quickly." Dantai Xiu fired as he ran towards the cars; it was not wise to stay here for long.
"Everyone, get back to the car you came in," Tang Zheng saw a group of Newbies following him and hurriedly dispersed them. He shot the Golden Deer Projectile, killing two horn-bearers, but it was already too late.
Over three hundred cavalry charged, and the momentum was massive. They took down the Bronze Cannon and fired at the survivors, thousands of lead bullet projectiles whistling in, smashing the aquarium’s glass doors, hitting the cement ground, ricocheting wildly with a piercing shriek.
Liu Gang was quite unlucky, having been roughed up by Dantai Zongqi, he didn’t dare to get close to the Team. Hearing their cries to escape, he panicked, afraid of being left behind, and hurried out, just to run into the volley of shots.
"No!" As the storm of bullets whizzed towards him, Liu Gang raised his arms in horror, but they were of no use at all. Some bullets hit him and were momentarily blocked by the Primary Protective Clothing, still piercing into his body. This did not kill him instantly, but as he watched his body becoming a bloody mess, he knew he wouldn’t survive. It would have been better to die in one go than to suffer .
"Save, save me!" Liu Gang rolled several times before struggling to climb up. He looked towards Li Hongda, whom he had been cooperating with for a few days. However, Li didn’t even glance at him as he hurriedly scrambled into the car.
The Conquerors had seen too much death and would absolutely not delay time for a useless Newbie like Liu Gang. Moreover, they wished for Liu Gang to attract some of the firepower for the entire team.
Tang Zheng was the first to rush to the car, but he didn’t get in. He pulled out his longbow and activated his Hundred-shot Skill. Speckled arrows rained down furiously, flipping over a third of the cavalry and sending dust flying into the air.
The engines of the six cars roared, but since Tang Zheng hadn’t gotten in, none dared to leave.
"Let’s go." Tang Zheng shot another arrow, ran a few steps, leaped into the carriage, bullets came whizzing again, clinking against the body of the car.
Crash, crash, the glass window shattered, but the car had also charged onto the highway.
Tang Zheng lay on top of Lu Fan and Cheng Cheng, shielding them from the bullets. Then he tossed the longbow to Li Xinlan, entrusting her to fend off the enemy. He really didn’t want to move at all.
The policewoman ran to the second floor of the aquarium, crouching behind a balcony, showing only her eyes, as she watched Tang Zheng leave with an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart. She felt she would never figure out the identity of that Chinese man in her lifetime.
A dozen or so cavalrymen separated from the group, running to Liu Gang’s side as he was climbing. They circled around him, the horse hooves occasionally trampling over his body.
"Get away, all of you get away," Liu Gang cried, his face streaming with tears, in a mixture of shock and rage. His heart felt like it was about to stop beating when a sudden intense pain shot up from his legs, causing him to scream out loud.
The horse hooves continuously trampled over Liu Gang, breaking several of his bones.
A few cavalrymen poked at him with their yari, finally piercing Liu Gang’s body. Then, dragging him along, they chased after the main group.
Liu Gang screamed miserably, leaving a trail of fresh blood behind him, as several of the cavalrymen crowded around, repeatedly stabbing their yari into his body.
A hundred meters later, Liu Gang died; his body, torn and tattered by the road surface, his face a blurred mess of blood and flesh, with scraps of broken flesh scattered everywhere.
One of the cavalry chopped off his head, stuck it on a yari, and raised it in pursuit of Tang Zheng’s group.
Witnessing this scene, Li Hongda, Song Huiqiao, and the others shook uncontrollably with fear. It was all too unsettling.
The radar screen showed no hints, but the fleet had already run into several groups of cavalry. In less than ten minutes, more than three thousand had gathered behind them. The horse hooves thundered against the ground like rolling thunderbolts, and the faces of the newbies changed.
Tang Zheng wanted to get up and fight but was stopped by Li Xinlan.
"You rest, give me the Gatling machine gun." After dodging a volley, Li Xinlan passed the East Sea Road’s First Bow to Lu Fan, smashed the broken glass of the rear window, set up the Gatling machine gun that Tang Zheng had given her and began to fire at the vanguard cavalry.
Hot bullet casings covered the entire car floor in an instant, scattering all around.
The space inside the car was too confined for shooting with a longbow. Frustrated, Lu Fan pouted and could only vent her anger with the Pepper Grinder, but realizing the firepower was too weak, she started using the Gauss sniper rifle.
Though the cavalrymen kept getting killed and falling to the ground, the Trojan Squad still couldn’t suppress them, and more kept coming.
"Where do you think you’re escaping to?" Dantai shouted with a megaphone towards Tang Zheng who was leading the way. The Silver Trojan indeed had a wicked taste, not selling communication equipment, surely to increase the difficulty for the ’toys.’
Pang Meiqin’s driving skills were undisputedly outstanding. No one could keep up with her, and if not for Tang Zheng telling her to hold steady, she would have left this crowd far behind.
"Just let the car carrying the Students’ Union fall to the back," Tang Zheng glanced over and saw that Yu Manli was quite smart, and Dantai was very cooperative. They always blocked the car carrying the Students’ Union, not letting them overtake. Ai Yixin and Chu Baichuan’s cars were in third place, knowing this was others looking out for them, their hearts swelled with gratitude.
Although the cavalry’s Bronze Cannons were slow to reload, they fired in an orderly manner. The car that lagged behind naturally became the primary target. It took seventy percent of the attacks, and within five minutes, it was riddled with holes, the car body deformed. A bunch of people ducked their heads, sticking to their seats, shouting continuously to vent the panic inside.
"What do you think?" Tang Zheng wanted to hear Dantai’s opinion. They had met briefly and hadn’t had time to exchange ideas, but there was no time left. The Trojan Squad hadn’t shaken off the cavalry, and a new crisis had arrived, with the Silver Trojan issuing new notifications.
