Jiang Li's gaze swept over the seven people in front of him, and he subconsciously glanced at Luo Feng, already guessing what was happening.
It seems this world is really small.
But it wasn't surprising. After all, City 003 was one of the most dangerous cities in the Eurasian region. Anyone who came here to make a name for themselves would eventually meet.
"Gao Feng!"
At this moment, Pan Ya had also successfully killed a fanged tiger. He stepped on the tiger's head, twirling his Triangular Bayonet, and sneered, "If you're smart, get out of this area, and we, the Thunder Squad, might spare your lives…"
"Otherwise, don't blame us!"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys!"
"This is Senior Liu, the captain of our Thunder Squad, and this is Mr. Kalon, our deputy captain!"
The Senior Liu Pan Ya mentioned was the white-haired old man, and Kalon was a burly white man.
Hearing this, both of them frowned slightly, but said nothing.
For martial artists like them, who often roamed the wilderness, it was normal to have grudges with other martial artists.
However, they didn't like Pan Ya's act of using others to intimidate.
"Hahaha..."
Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke immediately burst into laughter. Then, Gao Feng's smile vanished, replaced by an extremely disdainful expression: "Pan Ya, I used to think that although you were insidious and ruthless, you were at least someone..."
"Now it seems, you're only fit to be someone's lackey!"
"Gao Feng, you're asking for death!"
Even though Pan Ya was furious, he still glanced at the white-haired old man first: "Senior Liu!"
"I won't interfere with your personal grudges!"
The white-haired old man had a cold expression. Hearing this, Pan Ya hesitated, his gaze involuntarily falling on Jiang Li. He was all too familiar with the Blood Shadow Battle Sword on Jiang Li's back!
"Don't say that. If Pan Ya is at a disadvantage, as captains, you can still offer some assistance!"
Seeing Pan Ya wavering, the mixed-blood youth, who enjoyed watching the excitement, laughed: "My dad told me to accumulate experience. Watching martial artists fight can also help me learn something!"
Compared to monsters, this mixed-blood youth wasn't afraid of humans at all.
Because his parents were both God of War level powerhouses.
Hearing the mixed-blood youth's words, Pan Ya immediately felt reassured. Senior Liu and Kalon were both Advanced War Generals, especially Senior Liu, who was almost at the threshold of a God of War.
Even if Jiang Li was a Spiritualist, so what?
He'd only passed the warrior assessment not long ago. At most, he was an Intermediate War General!
"Gao Feng, I gave you a chance!"
With someone backing them, the few remaining members of the original Tiger Fang Squad instantly became emboldened.
"Oh ho, you're still arrogant, aren't you?"
Gao Feng held his Heavy Hammer, but he acted as if he didn't care: "Pan Ya, don't say I didn't warn you. If you dare to make a move, you're dead for sure!"
All factions clearly stipulated that warriors could not kill each other.
But there was no rule against self-defense.
"Then you're asking for death!"
Pan Ya immediately roared, brandishing his Triangular Bayonet and charging forward.
"Jiang Li..."
Seeing Pan Ya rush forward, Gao Feng quietly requested, "Let me take care of this revenge!"
Most martial artists who came to the wilderness had a strong desire to become stronger, and Gao Feng was no exception.
If Pan Ya was too strong, then he really wouldn't have a choice.
But since Pan Ya's strength was on par with his, he naturally wanted to personally avenge that shot!
"Alright."
Jiang Li nodded, then glanced at the white-haired old man and the white man, Kalon, beside the mixed-blood youth, saying, "I'll make sure they can't interfere!"
"Thank you!"
Gao Feng's heart settled upon hearing this. He brandished his heavy hammers and charged forward, engaging Pan Ya in battle.
Clash! Clash!
The Triangular Bayonet and the black Heavy Hammer collided a dozen times in an instant. Everyone watched, seeing only two blurs of motion locked in combat on the open ground. Every strike generated howling gusts of wind, tearing the ground and buildings to shreds wherever they fought.
"Looks like the Captain's improved quite a bit these days!"
"Heh heh, Pan Ya's footwork dares to call itself Subtle Level? It's far inferior to Luo Feng's!"
"Pan Ya is a disgrace to us Hanxia people, being a lackey for foreigners!"
"Captain, cripple him!"
The Fire Hammer Squad members were all calm and collected.
Soon.
Just then, there was a loud "bang." The figures in the arena separated, and Gao Feng seized the opportunity. He swung his hammer towards Pan Ya's head. The latter was sent flying more than ten meters, slamming heavily into the ground and creating a large crater.
Pan Ya struggled to his feet, his body trembling, blood flowing from his orifices.
Although Gao Feng's strike wouldn't kill Pan Ya, it was enough to severely injure him.
"Stop!"
Seeing Gao Feng leap forward, the white-haired old man shouted, preparing to intervene.
"Sizzle!"
A Blood Shadow Battle Sword, like a streak of crimson light, instantly pierced through the air and hovered in front of the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man was immediately stunned!
The other members of the Thunder Squad were also trembling. Everyone stared in disbelief at the direction from which the crimson light had come.
Jiang Li's expression was impassive as he said softly, "Don't move, or you'll die…"
"S-Spiritualist?"
Kalon, the white man, stared fixedly at the Blood Shadow Battle Sword hovering in front of the white-haired elder. He was terrified. "So fast! At least an Intermediate War General-level Spiritualist!"
It was common for Spiritualists to be one or two levels higher than ordinary warriors. The swiftness of Jiang Li's Blood Shadow Battle Sword, which even Advanced War Generals couldn't react to, proved that his strength was superior to theirs.
As for a God of War?
Given Jiang Li's youthful appearance, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.
After all, someone of his age, if they were a God of War, would have already become famous throughout the world.
"I won't move!"
The white-haired old man slowly raised his hands, as if surrendering. "But I advise you not to make a move!"
"Otherwise, all of you will die!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Jiang Li knew the mixed-blood youth's identity very well.
His father was Li Yao, a God of War nicknamed Vulture, and his mother was Winina, one of the twelve major families of the HR Alliance, also a God of War-level powerhouse.
This background would be untouchable to other martial artists.
But for Jiang Li, it was nothing.
However, Jiang Li had no intention of killing them. As long as Li Wei didn't push his luck, he wouldn't kill anyone.
And at this moment.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Terrifying hoofbeats suddenly came from afar, causing the ground beneath them to tremble. Following this, a series of low growls echoed out.
"Not good, it's a beast horde!"
"They must have attracted them with their fighting!"
Almost instantly, everyone present turned to look in the direction of the sound. They saw a vast, black mass of monsters surging forward like a torrent of steel. Each monster was only thirty to forty centimeters in size, slightly larger than a human hand.
But this black torrent, composed of these small monsters, was like a bulldozer; buildings collapsed and monsters died wherever it passed.
At a glance, it was endless, with no end in sight.
"What's going on!!!"
The mixed-race youth, Li Wei, shrieked in terror, his face ashen.
Even when facing Jiang Li's Blood Shadow Battle Sword, he had remained calm. After all, his father was Li Yao. As long as it wasn't someone beyond the God of War, they would give his father some face!
But this swarm of black monsters wouldn't care whether his father was Li Yao or Li Gang!
"What is this?"
"A Rat Tide!"
Luo Feng was instantly startled. A Rat Tide, also known as a Rat Disaster. Even a God of War-level expert would be doomed if surrounded by an endless Rat Tide.
"Protect the young master, Tiger Fang Squad, hold the rear!"
The white-haired old man also roared urgently, "Run!"
"It's a Rat Tide, run!"
The rest of the Tiger Fang Squad didn't care about the white-haired old man anymore. Holding the rear? Even the God of War would be wiped out holding the rear!
