"Run!"
Gao Feng leaped away, quickly regrouping with Firehammer Squad and fleeing as fast as they could.
In a single instant, the Rat Tide surged past Pan Ya's position, tearing him to shreds, leaving only a skeleton.
"Quick, west! Get across the bridge first!"
Even Jiang Li didn't dare underestimate the Rat Tide. Firehammer Squad quickly dashed across a river channel. Jiang Li swung his Bloodshadow Battleblade, and a crimson light slashed down, causing the entire bridge to collapse with a loud boom.
Even so, it only bought them a little time.
"Damn it, how come there's a Rat Tide here in City 003!"
Chen Gu, who was the most heavily equipped, cursed as he looked at the black mass behind them, both running and jumping. "We always have bad luck whenever we meet Tiger Fang Squad!"
"There won't be a next time. I saw Pan Ya get gnawed into a skeleton!"
"That guy Zhang Zehu too!"
The Wei Brothers looked back, seeing that a broken bridge had created a barrier, increasing the distance between them and the Rat Tide. They breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's better over on Sector 003, the Rat Tide there is only a small-scale one."
After Firehammer Squad escaped the danger, Gao Feng exhaled a breath of air, saying, "If this was in a plain, a Rat Tide would be at least Level 3!"
"There was a Level 3 Rat Tide in the Northern Military District before, even War God Lu Gang was killed!"
"Phew!"
Everyone was still in shock. Pan Ya's strength wasn't weaker than theirs, yet in a blink of an eye, he was reduced to a skeleton.
"Monsters are our true enemies!"
Luo Feng's eyes narrowed, clenching his fist. "Yet human martial artists are still fighting amongst themselves. At this rate, humanity's future is in jeopardy!"
"Don't be so pessimistic, Luo Feng. People like Pan Ya are in the minority!"
Chen Gu comforted him. "Besides, don't we still have Jiang Li and you? Humanity's future still holds a lot of promise, haha!"
"Look, it's that Thunder Squad!"
Wei Tie shouted. The Thunder Squad from earlier was also fleeing towards them. However, the original seven-person team was now down to only three!
"There's also a… Two-Headed Tiger Eagle in the sky?"
Gao Feng's pupils shrank as he exclaimed, "Could that be a monster lord?"
Everyone looked and saw the white-haired old man had already lost an arm, and the white man, Kalon, was also covered in wounds. The two senior war gods were taking turns protecting the mixed-race youth, fighting desperately to fend off each attack from the Two-Headed Tiger Eagle, while simultaneously retreating.
"It's them!"
The white-haired elder also spotted Jiang Li and the others, as if grasping at his last lifeline. "Firehammer Squad, come and help! Kill this beast, and the materials are yours!"
"Heh, even now, still putting on airs!"
Chen Gu set up his heavy sniper rifle, taking a clearer look through the optical sight, and sneered, "Captain, should we help?"
Although the Two-Headed Tiger Eagle might be a lord-level monster, the fact that the white-haired elder and Kalon could hold out for so long meant they were no match for Jiang Li.
If he fired a single shot, he would instantly draw the Two-Headed Tiger Eagle's fury.
"Jiang Li…"
Gao Feng didn't dare decide for Jiang Li and asked, "We'll listen to you!"
And before he could finish speaking.
Suddenly.
"Huh?"
Everyone abruptly saw a human figure, moving at an incredible speed, leaving behind a trail of illusory afterimages. The long blade in his hand flashed out in the direction of his movement, creating a bizarre, blood-red blade light in mid-air.
Clang!
The blade light flashed, slicing directly across the Two-Headed Tiger Eagle's neck. Its two massive heads immediately flew off, and foul-smelling blood gushed out like a fountain.
Boom!
The Two-Headed Tiger Eagle's body plummeted straight down from the sky, landing on the ground. It twitched a few times before becoming still.
Those shadows finally coalesced.
One strike to kill a Two-Headed Tiger Eagle, seemingly a lord-level beast?!
"Too monstrous!"
"This must be a War God!"
"Uncle Kitahara!"
Upon seeing who it was, the mixed-race youth immediately ran over, expressing his gratitude.
"Mr. Kitahara."
The white-haired elder and the white man, Kalon, endured their injuries and respectfully bowed to the battle god in thanks.
"Li Wei, you don't need to thank me. It was your father who received your distress signal and knew I was in 003..."
"If it wasn't for the reward your father offered, which I couldn't refuse, I wouldn't have revealed myself for you!"
This Mr. Kitahara spoke with a cold expression, using extremely clumsy Chinese: "You can pretend you didn't see me, or else don't blame me for being merciless with my blade."
"Then them..."
The mixed-race youth suddenly had his eyes gleaming, and he looked at the Firehammer Squad in the distance with ill intentions.
At this moment...
Kitahara Tsuyoshi glanced over, and the members of the Firehammer Squad felt a chill in their hearts for no reason. Only Jiang Li had clearly heard their conversation.
"Little devils?!"
"Kitahara Tsuyoshi?"
"You go first, quickly!"
From their conversation, Jiang Li instantly understood that they were going to silence him!
The little devils had always been entangled in conflicts with the Hanxia Nation.
However, in the Great Nirvana Era, the little devils suffered a devastating blow…
And the Hanxia Nation had vast territory and a large population, with countless martial artists emerging. The blow they suffered was much smaller.
Furthermore, the world's strongest person, 'Hong', was from Hanxia. The second strongest, 'Thunder God', also had half Hanxia blood. Even though they held a transcendent position, they would definitely favor the Hanxia Nation at heart.
Therefore, Hanxia Nation was undoubtedly the strongest nation now.
Even after many years, Hanxia Nation's attitude towards the little devils remained consistent, forbidding them from entering Hanxia's territory.
"Brother Jiang…"
While the others were still puzzled, Gao Feng made a decisive decision: "Listen to Jiang Li, let's go!"
"Kitahara, that guy's name is Kitahara. Damn it, that war god is a Jap!"
"Hurry!"
"Notify the martial arts hall!"
Luo Feng and the others understood that this wasn't the time to be showing off their loyalty; staying would only be a burden to Jiang Li.
Almost simultaneously.
Kitahara Tsuyoshi moved. His figure flashed violently, instantly breaking the sound barrier.
"Serves you right for not saving this young master!"
Li Wei sneered as he watched Kitahara Tsuyoshi's figure flicker, leaving afterimages. He looked at the scattered Firehammer Squad as if they were already dead.
"Watching a genius fall is a very interesting thing!"
Kalon, the white man, also revealed a cruel grin.
The white-haired old man sighed softly, "Such a young Mentalist, gone just like that. What a pity."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Li, in his white combat suit, did something completely different from the rest of the Firehammer Squad.
Rather than fleeing, he held his Bloodshadow Battleblade. His mental power instantly spread, and with a sudden flash, he charged toward Kitahara Tsuyoshi like a bolt of white lightning.
"Magnetic Storm Flowing Blade!"
Jiang Li's speed was no less than Kitahara Tsuyoshi's.
The blade's light flashed. The Bloodshadow Battleblade was like a streak of crimson meteor, colliding violently with Kitahara Tsuyoshi's Draw-Sword Strike in a flash of lightning.
Clang!
A loud clang of metal on metal resounded. Kitahara Tsuyoshi was directly knocked back six or seven meters, and roared, "Baka!"
In contrast, Jiang Li gracefully descended from mid-air, only taking a single step back.
Although Kitahara Tsuyoshi was a mid-level War God, he was at a complete disadvantage compared to the current Jiang Li.
You must know...
Even a Mentalist at the low-level War God level had physical qualities comparable to a high-level War God.
And after Jiang Li's recent enhancement through the Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method, he was even stronger than an initial-stage battle-god Mentalist!
Seeing this scene, Li Wei and the other two immediately changed their expressions.
"He, he, he's also a battle-god?"
Kalon, the white man, sounded like a duck whose neck was being squeezed, almost choking out the words.
"Impossible!"
Li Wei's eyes widened: "How old is he!"
"It's over, we're in big trouble this time!"
The white-haired old man was frightened, and pulled at Li Wei, urging him: "Young master, we have to run quickly!"
"Me, the child of two great war gods, am actually inferior to a nobody?!"
Li Wei, the spoiled second-generation rich kid, hadn't truly grasped the danger. "I want to watch him die!!!"
It was understandable. He had been pampered since childhood. Facing a youth who looked to be around his age, yet was more than twice as strong as him? His inherent arrogance instantly shattered, replaced by a crippling inferiority complex!
"Uncle Kitahara, he's a Mentalist!"
The white-haired elder didn't even have time to cover Li Wei's mouth, and could only curse internally, what an idiot! Who didn't know he was a Mentalist?
But the white-haired elder and the Caucasian Kalon dared not remind Kitahara Tsuyoshi at this moment.
Why? Because this was a war god-level Mentalist!
Not to mention, whether Jiang Li was a match for Kitahara Tsuyoshi…
They were certain of one thing: Kitahara Tsuyoshi absolutely couldn't kill Jiang Li!
There were only two possibilities for killing a God of War-level Mentalist alone...
Either the attacker was also a Mentalist, or the attacker was a being beyond the God of War level.
The reasoning was simple! If Jiang Li couldn't win, he could always run! To offend a God of War-level Mentalist? Even Li Yao, his father, might not dare!
Clang!
Kitahara Tsuyoshi, who had just blocked another heavy blow from Jiang Li with his blade, heard Li Wei's words, and his expression instantly changed: "Nani?"
"Looking for death!"
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. The Bloodshadow Battleblade behind him instantly transformed into a crimson red light, instantly shattering space and slashing across Li Wei's neck.
A fine head flew off, and blood gushed out from the wound like a burst water pipe! He didn't know until his death why Jiang Li dared to kill him!
