"Hah! Hah!"
The stench of the monster filled the air. Because the Silvermoon Savage Wolf's corpse was in the middle of the alley, monsters were swarming in from all directions.
At this moment, Luo Feng's gaze was resolute as he controlled the six flying knives to dissect the Silvermoon Savage Wolf's corpse.
"Bang!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Chen Gu, having taken the high ground, laid down a barrage of fire on a street, bullets flying like they were free.
"Jiang Li, Luo Feng, the alley isn't wide, the monsters can't all rush in at once. I'll suppress one alley for you!"
Chen Gu's voice came through the communicator.
"Awoo! Awoo!"
Before Jiang Li could respond, a dozen Unicorn Wolves on the other side charged forward fiercely. Jiang Li's eyes turned cold, and with the Bloodshadow Battleblade in hand, the blade's light pulsed. He moved like a white bolt of lightning, instantly meeting the attack.
"Magnetic Storm Flowing Blade!"
Jiang Li swung the crimson blade, creating a red arc that swept across the space.
"Awoo-woo-woo!"
Ten-odd Unicorn Wolves could only let out a miserable cry before being beheaded, their bodies cleaved in two by Jiang Li mid-air.
At the same time.
'Buzz!'
The Bloodshadow Battle Sword on Jiang Li's back emitted a low hum, instantly transforming into a streak of blood-red light that flashed past Luo Feng's head, shooting towards the alley on the left.
A flying sword!
In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the heads of six Tiger Mastiffs that were pouncing towards Luo Feng!
Blood and brains splattered everywhere.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Under the shrill roars of the beasts, the monsters behind them became even more bloodthirsty and frenzied, continuously swarming in.
"Then let's see how my Adamantine Body holds up!"
Jiang Li looked at the dozens of Tusked Wild Boars charging towards him, several of which were at the initial Beast General level. Killing intent welled up in his eyes, and his qi and blood began to surge.
The next moment.
A gleam of lapis lazuli light flashed across Jiang Li's body again, this time, even stronger than before.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Tusked Wild Boars slammed into Jiang Li, producing terrifying sounds.
But Jiang Li didn't budge an inch, instead, a look of excitement appeared on his face, a bloodthirsty grin forming on his lips.
"Die!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gathering all his qi and blood into his fists, Jiang Li's punches moved like shadows, obliterating the dozens of Tusked Wild Boars charging at him. The buildings on either side collapsed as well.
In an instant, the alley was buried under rubble, but blood gushed forth like a spring, constantly flowing from the ruins.
Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, and the Wei Brothers, who had joined up with Chen Gu, heard the enormous roar. They couldn't help but look back. Although they didn't see the whole process, they were still shocked by the result!
"Jiang Li is too strong!"
"Absolutely terrifying!"
"Mentalists are truly freaks!"
"How many monsters will be enough for him to kill?!"
"..."
They knew Mentalists were formidable, but they hadn't expected this level of freakishness!
"Buzz!"
The hilt of the blade vibrated. Jiang Li switched from using his fists to his blade, executing a horizontal sweep. The blade's light moved like a stream of light, too fast for the naked eye to follow.
Anything within fifty meters of them was either sliced apart or had their heads pierced by the flying sword, creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
"Jiang Li, it's done!"
It took Luo Feng a full five minutes to take care of the Silvermoon Savage Wolf.
"Let's go! East!"
Jiang Li didn't hesitate. Even with his strength, he would eventually tire facing an endless stream of monsters.
As soon as he spoke.
Jiang Li leaped, and the Bloodshadow Battle Sword immediately circled his feet.
Luo Feng also controlled his shield, leaping up as well. The two of them quickly sped eastward.
Night fell, and the silver moon shone brightly.
Under the moonlight, within the dilapidated county.
Two figures moved like dragons, swiftly traversing the ruined area, flying towards the thirteenth-floor rooftop.
The other five members of the Firehammer Squad were resting there.
"They're here!"
"Yeah, no injuries, right!"
The Firehammer Squad members, holding binoculars, watched Jiang Li and Luo Feng fly over and immediately went to meet them.
"Nope, we got the materials!"
Luo Feng laughed, patting his bulging backpack. "Finally, it wasn't a wasted effort!"
"Awesome!"
"Amazing!"
"Jiang Li, from now on, we brothers will call you our big bro!"
The members of the Firehammer Squad all gave thumbs up, exclaiming in admiration.
One person facing hundreds, even nearly a thousand monsters! Regardless of strength, just this courage was something they couldn't compare to.
"It's a pity that four from the Tigerfang Squad got away!"
Although Jiang Li could manipulate the Bloodshadow Battle Sword to swiftly attack and kill, the range of his mental power was always limited. And Pan Ya and the others reacted swiftly; with the explosive speed of a Warlord, they immediately escaped the range of Jiang Li's mental power.
"Tigerfang Squad!"
Mentioning the Tigerfang Squad, Gao Feng couldn't help but touch his bandaged head, grinding his teeth. "Next time we meet them, they'll get a taste of my Dual Wind Hammers' power!"
He'd trained with the hammers for years, and this was the first time he'd hit himself!
Speaking of which.
Gao Feng solemnly clasped his hands towards Jiang Li, expressing his gratitude. "Jiang Li, I won't say thank you. I, Gao Feng, owe you my life!"
"Captain, you're being too serious!"
Jiang Li steadied Gao Feng's hands, smiling. "I'm also a member of the Firehammer Squad."
"Haha!"
Chen Gu laughed heartily. "My Chen Gu's got good eyes. Mentalists are so rare, and I found two of them at once!"
Wei Tie and Wei Qing were also beaming with joy. "Mentalists! Our Firehammer Squad suddenly has two of them!"
"Hehe, I bet the Tigerfang Squad is scared witless right now. Offending a Mentalist... they probably don't even know how to spell 'death'!"
Zhang Ke let out a strange laugh. "Rumor has it, a Mentalist's mental power is one or two levels higher than their physical strength!"
"So, Luo Feng, that means you're equivalent to an Intermediate Warlord now!"
"Jiang Li, you..."
"War God?!"
All the warriors knew how terrifying Mentalists were! At the same level, they absolutely crushed other warriors! No matter how exquisite your swordsmanship, knife techniques, or spear skills were, a Mentalist could control objects to fly, retreat to a distance, and launch remote attacks. Below a War God, it was almost impossible to counter.
And.
The speed at which a Mentalist controlled objects to fly was more than twice as fast as the speed of a warrior of the same level.
Even with a significant level difference, a Mentalist could still escape using their speed.
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Jiang Li shook his head.
In terms of pure attack power, with the inner force he could unleash through the Yin Yang Mixed Yuan Taiji Technique, combined with the Adamantine Lapis Lazuli Technique and other martial arts, he could reach the level of a War God. But what War God didn't have secret techniques?
Moreover, his speed and nerve reaction, as well as his overall velocity, were not yet at the War God level.
Just having strength wasn't enough to compete with a War God.
"Hehe, no matter what, Jiang Li alone can sweep through the entire Tigerfang Squad!"
Chen Gu grinned, "They'll probably regret ambushing us for the rest of their lives!"
"Indeed!"
"Right, Captain, Zhang, Chen, Tie, Qing, I hope everyone can keep this a secret, and not reveal our secret!"
Luo Feng thought it over and over, then requested, "I didn't want to worry you all before, but once a Mentalist is exposed, I'm afraid our peaceful lives won't be able to continue!"
"That's true, but if the higher-ups of the martial arts gym know you're Mentalists, they'll definitely focus on nurturing you!"
Chen Gu pondered for a moment, then said.
It would be best if they could stay in the Firehammer Squad, but as Mentalists, if they could receive the full support of the martial arts gym, their future achievements would certainly be greater.
This was a trade-off.
"Mm, Chen Gu is right."
Gao Feng nodded, then smiled, "However, as teammates, we naturally won't reveal it. The choice is yours!"
"We guarantee we won't breathe a word!"
Wei Tie and Wei Qing made a zipping-the-mouth gesture.
A Mentalist is a trump card; keeping it hidden makes it a secret weapon.
"It's just... the secret of Jiang Li being a Mentalist is probably impossible to hide!"
Zhang Ke glanced at Jiang Li's Bloodshadow Battle Sword subconsciously. Now he finally understood; Jiang Li carrying a sword wasn't just for show!
That was truly a sword for killing!
