Chapter 895: Chapter 895
The Vampire Curved Knife, SS level, resembles a pirate’s curved saber from the Age of Sail, with a slender arc blade, an all-black body, and vampire carvings imprinted on it. On the hilt is a pair of demon wings. It has the ability to break demonic forces and spiritual beings, dealing double damage to spirit-type monsters, and has a 5% chance to inflict a lethal one-hit kill on the wounded. It also possesses a mass killing skill called the Vampire’s Kiss, which launches a multitude of self-destructing bats that bomb targets and carry a curse, doubling the amount of potion required to heal the wound.
Landeck knew that trying to kill Tang Zheng with one strike wasn’t realistic, so he aimed at his arm that was stripped of Hellfire. To sever his arm first, even if he wore the S-Class Firefly, the opponent couldn’t withstand it, after all, this was the limited edition weapon he had bought with a lot of points and materials.
But the result was unexpected, as the curved knife only scratched Tang Zheng’s protective clothing, leaving only a shallow wound.
A fierce look flashed in Landeck’s eyes, and he raised his estimation of Tang Zheng once more. The kid definitely had the resilience of a cockroach, but he wasn’t worried, as the gap between him and Tang Zheng was too great under Hero Mode.
Boom, Landeck’s movements were so fast Tang Zheng couldn’t even defend himself in time and was sent flying again. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelFire.net
The Heavenly Eye hovering in the sky like a sovereign once again gathered energy and launched a light beam, hitting Tang Zheng. However, it still couldn’t tear through his defense.
"No, this guy is wearing the SS-Level Tyrannosaurus!" Realizing the extent of Tang Zheng’s endurance from the blows he sustained, Lena reacted and shouted.
"SS-Level or not, die!" Landeck, though moving stiffly under gravity suppression, was still slightly faster than Tang Zheng, so he acted with impunity.
The general smashed Sara’s puppet within a minute and rushed towards Lena. Along with his clone, he pressured her to prevent her from comfortably operating Heavenly Eye for sneak attacks. As for Sara who got scared before the fight began, the Oz State Eagle was enough. If that woman didn’t slack off, she’d really be tricky to handle.
Clang, as Landeck lunged, Tang Zheng suddenly drew Yukihiro Maru and stabbed it into his chest. The power armor was directly churned up, and amidst the harsh metal clash, a cut was made.
Although Landeck only lost a bit of blood, the sight of his destroyed Hellfire filled him with rage, and he couldn’t help but take a cold breath inwardly. How many SS-Level equipments did this kid have!
Whoosh, Landeck didn’t dare to delay, fearing other unexpected developments. He went all out with his firepower, and the number of shields around him surged. Once again, he darted out in six directions, but this time all were rhombus-shaped, flying towards Tang Zheng. Then they surrounded him and blasted out Thunderbolt Lightning.
It was frustrating for Lena, who saw her insect nest blown up by Tang Zheng’s bombs, and the bugs, which seemed to have gone crazy, started to pour out. At least tens of thousands of them flocked this way, also restraining her movements, as she had to ensure the battlefield remained clean, otherwise Tang Zheng might escape in the chaos.
That was the vexation of the advantaged side.
After nearly two minutes of levitating, the Heavenly Eye was bound to be discovered. Lena was worried about reinforcements for Tang Zheng arriving; after all, the past few days of skirmishes showed they held Tang Zheng in high esteem. So, she went with full firepower.
A white ring of light appeared above Heavenly Eye, suddenly brightened up, and a beam of light shot out. Then it began cutting irregularly around the battlefield, exploding in the swarm of insects, as broken bodies burst and fell like rain.
Sizzle, sizzle, two more light beams shot out, cutting incessantly, blasting against the buildings, slicing through them as if cutting tofu, effortlessly.
In just ten seconds, more than three thousand Bug Eggs were cleared. Lena knew her ability’s weakness too well; she was sharp at mass killing, but much weaker in one-on-one fights.
When she turned back to Tang Zheng and Landeck, she was shocked. Though the Chinese man was bloodied, with all his Hellfire shattered, Landeck wasn’t in a much better state either, as his power armor was also wrecked.
"Damn hybrid!" Landeck punched Tang Zheng into the cement ground, feeling the blood flowing into his eyes, he was furious. To be injured by a third-order was too embarrassing. He realized if Tang Zheng hadn’t been distracted by dealing with Sara and Lena, he might not have been able to beat him.
A moment of distraction and Lena was struck by the warhammer, tumbling out like a broken sack.
"You guys put in some effort, will you? You can’t kill a third-order for so long, are you eating shit?!" Sara was angry, but the next moment her face showed shock.
In an instant, a large number of cavalry clad in red heavy armor appeared in sight, each holding a Yari and with a Bronze Cannon on their back, starting a cavalry charge, horse hooves pounding the earth with thunderous momentum.
"This is definitely an SS-Class Item!" Tang Zheng used the opportunity to get thrown again to take out Gunpei and summon the Kai Cavalry. He had tried it before; under Landeck’s attacks, there was no chance of escaping, so he could only hope for his teammates now. He also thought about going into Hero Mode, but it wasn’t so easy to activate.
Sizzle, sizzle, Heavenly Eye began attacking the Kai Cavalry, but their numbers were not small. Even though a batch was blasted to death, they still swept through.
Lena, under the hit from the general and his clone, also had problems with her Hellfire. Even though she wanted to fly away from the ground to dodge, the general clung to her tightly, while the Oz State Eagle roamed the skies, continuously shooting fireballs, pinning the three of them to the ground.
The commotion from the battle between Tang Zheng and the three German Conquerors was too great, causing half the city to tremble. Seen from a distance, buildings kept collapsing.
"What’s happening? An earthquake?" Lu Fan took out his telescope and scanned the area, only to spot the giant Heavenly Eye floating in the sky. Although it was partly obscured by tall buildings, its domineering posture as it struck with beams of light was unmistakable.
"Trouble, my uncle has met a formidable opponent. We need to hurry over and provide support." Lu Fan and his group were originally attacking a nest inside a building, but upon seeing the battle thousands of meters away, they immediately became agitated and turned to leave.
Li Xinlan’s face was grim as she followed behind.
"How can you be so sure that it’s Tang Zheng? Isn’t that too presumptuous? If it’s a battle between enemies and we rashly enter, might we be affected?" Although the adversary seemed powerful, Zuo Yi still had to be responsible for his soldiers.
"I just know. Besides my uncle, who else could create such a spectacle?" Lu Fan didn’t want to analyze further, his face tense with urgency, eager to get there as soon as possible.
"Stop the chatter, anyone who doesn’t want to go can stay behind," Li Xinlan wouldn’t force these newbies; her heart was also in turmoil.
"I didn’t say I was afraid of dying," Zuo Yi grumbled, wanting to explain, but the others had already run ahead. Sister Hong hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed; after all, without the team, she had nowhere else to go.
"Squad Leader Zuo, I believe Tang Zheng is not reckless. Faced with such a level of battle, even if it’s not him, he would still go to watch it. Plus, we can hide and observe the situation first," Shen Qingshuang hypothesized Tang Zheng’s actions based on his usual behavior.
Shen Qingshuang gave chase, looking up at the Heavenly Eye in the sky and pondering deeply, then revealing a bitter smile. She realized that she couldn’t influence a battle of this level, but with nowhere to retreat to, leaving Tang Zheng and the others would mean becoming estranged with the core of the team, just as with Yu Manli and Ruan Feifei. Shen Qingshuang could see that the team’s core didn’t welcome them.
"Squad Leader Zuo, you have nowhere else to go," Shen Qingshuang saw Zuo Yi still asking his subordinates about their course of action and immediately became anxious. This guy couldn’t distinguish between primary and secondary issues. Those soldiers were most likely not going to make it back, cruel as it may sound. In such times, one could only rely on themselves, learning to keep a low profile and read people’s moods.
"What’s going on over there? The fight seems intense?" Yu Manli shaded her eyes with her hand and looked into the distance. Ruan Feifei’s Thunderbolt Lightning was super powerful, and with her and Xu Liangmao playing meat shield, they had completed collecting Bug Eggs, which is why they were idle and unconcerned about the rest of the team, including the two flight attendants and ten soldiers—who they couldn’t care less about and didn’t want to expend their energy on.
"Stop gossiping, let’s hurry up and find the insect nest," Xu Liangmao was miserable, even at such a time, he couldn’t shake off his good guy persona, wanting to help the ten soldiers get Bug Eggs.
"Nobody but Tang Zheng could make such a racket; let’s go help him," Yu Manli exchanged a look with Ruan Feifei. They were only trying to stall time by deceiving the miserable man, and of course, take a look in case they could reap some benefits.
"What? Then let’s go!" Xu Liangmao was shocked but took it seriously. For the sake of Tang Zheng, he was willing to do anything. He took out the sports car that Lu Fan had given her, jumped in, and urged them to hurry.
Ruan Feifei and Yu Manli had no choice but to comply. Otherwise, letting Xu Liangmao give a bad report would jeopardize their situation. In reality, Yu Manli was wealthy and influential, had tried to approach Xu Liangmao privately, offering not only money but women to tempt him. Unfortunately, this fellow from the same period was blind to temptation, pushing her away with something about how Tang Zheng was his benefactor.
Xu Liangmao was honest, but that didn’t mean he was stupid.
"Idiot. No wonder his wife cheated on him." Yu Manli was frustrated to have to deal with someone like him, where it’s difficult to make a move.
The ten soldiers were dissatisfied but powerless to resist. Without the Conquerors, they had only death to look forward to, and the two flight attendants were no different, being ushered onto another sports car.
"Sister Meiqin, there’s quite a commotion over there. Could it be Tang Zheng?" Jing Xiang tugged at Pang Meiqin and pointed into the distance. In the timid office worker’s heart, except for the explosively powerful Tang Zheng, no one else could act so boldly.
"Let me check." Pang Meiqin was too far away to see clearly and spent a minute scurrying onto the rooftop of a building.
"It must be Tang Zheng, and he might even be in danger," Pang Meiqin saw the Heavenly Eye, endlessly shooting beams, bombarding the surroundings.
"What are we waiting for then? Let’s go help our big brother!" Yao Feng shouted and rushed down the stairs. The kid was injured, but not severely.
Rarely hesitant, Pang Meiqin had already run down, with Jing Xiang right behind her. Xu Biyun, usually silent, was the most decisive at this time, her unwavering figure standing as the best proof.
"What exactly did Tang Zheng do?" Gu Xueqi followed behind, somewhat amazed. Even a selfish woman like Pang Meiqin wanted to help him, not to mention Xu Biyun and Jing Xiang. Hearing that he might be in danger, they rushed to his support, clearly having received much kindness from Tang Zheng.
At this moment, the Conquerors all rushed to support Tang Zheng without regrets because he was their beloved Group Leader, the one who had granted them numerous favors!
At this moment, they were all eager to repay their Group Leader to the fullest of their abilities! (To be continued. If you work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
