“Interesting!”
“So interesting! !”
At the top of the mountain peak.
Looking at the mess, as if the lakeshore had been bombarded by missiles one after another.
Mr. Shen grinned from ear to ear, dancing with exaggerated laughter.
Although from beginning to end, the attacker who fought with Zhao Zhenfeng only revealed a pair of thick arms engraved with deep blue patterns.
But Mr. Shen could be 100% certain.
The opponent was the powerful Faceless Man he had noticed before.
Mr. Shen was very interested in the identity of this Faceless Man.
And the other party had the ability to hide, maybe…
Thinking about it,
Mr. Shen looked at the gradually calming lake and the official personnel around him who had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the battle.
By now, five minutes had passed.
Neither Zhao Zhenfeng nor the attacker appeared.
His restless heart couldn’t hold back any longer.
His eyes flashed with cunning, and at the same time, he pressed the intercom beside his ear. “You guys, charge…”
Whoosh!
Mr. Shen took a lunge forward, pointing ahead, assuming a charging posture.
“Charge!!!!”
The words fell.
Shadows flickered in the woods.
On the lakeshore. Splash!
“Heyah!”
Gasping for breath, Wang He, who had just recovered from the aftermath of the battle, could only support himself on the ground with both hands, barely holding up his body.
Most of his clothes were shattered, revealing blood-stained skin covered with wounds.
Fresh blood seeped from his injuries; mixed with the dust and rainwater on his body, Wang He looked miserable.
The reason he had fallen to this state was only because he didn’t run far enough when Chen Sheng and Zhao Zhenfeng were fighting.
After he rested a while, Wang He felt his strength slightly improving.
Trembling legs propped up his body, Wang He slowly stood up from the ground.
He felt unbearable pain emanating from every part of his body.
He looked around.
The lakeshore ground on this side had long been messed up.
Large chunks of stone jumbled together, and the surface was densely covered with deep, bottomless cracks.
From time to time, people could be seen struggling to stand up behind the rocks.
They were Wu’an Bureau personnel who had also been caught in the aftermath.
These people were not as badly injured as Wang He because they were wearing protective gear and were far enough away from the battlefield.
“Prioritize treating the wounded and remain vigilant.”
“Immediately draw personnel from the surrounding areas to call back-
Now that Zhao Zhenfeng had disappeared, someone had to take charge of the situation.
Standing on a broken stone, Wang He directed the actions of the people around him.
Every time his gaze swept across the center of the battlefield, where Zhao
Zhenfeng and Chen Sheng had fought, a look of fear flashed across his face.
If the terrain on the outskirts of the lakeshore was destroyed,
The terrain in the center of the battlefield was completely changed.
A huge pit, almost 100 meters in diameter and seven or eight meters deep, appeared on the lakeshore, creating a forcible opening in the lake.
Surrounding lake water poured in, filling nearly half of it.
Witnessing such terrifying power, Wang He had only seen it in novels before.
It made him wonder if he was dreaming.
Regrettably,
The pain in his body and the fatigue filling his mind repeatedly reminded him,
This was the real world.
It was just more fantastical.
Now,
The surface of the lake had returned to calm.
Wang He didn’t know the specific situation of Zhao Zhenfeng and the attackers. But thinking of Zhao Zhenfeng’s previous instructions,
Wang He immediately looked worriedly at the surrounding woods, which were also in disarray.
Behind those broken, collapsed trees was endless darkness.
Even though there was no abnormality in his line of sight,
In Wang He’s eyes, it seemed as if there were enemies lurking in the darkness, constantly watching them, looking for the opportunity to swarm over and tear them to shreds.
With that thought,
Wang He shuddered.
He looked around at the armed personnel who were continuously treating the wounded and guarding the surroundings. “Everyone, be ready at any timeBefore he could finish,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As if to confirm Wang He’s suspicions,
The breaking air sound pierced through the rain curtain and went straight into his ears.
Whoosh!
Wang He’s face was filled with horror as he looked around.
Both near and far,
Several figures rushed out of the darkness deep in the woods towards them.
He could clearly see that these enemies’ faces all wore masks.
Sheep-faced and monkey-faced.
Apparently,
Seeing Zhao Zhenfeng not reappearing for a long time, the Holy Sect decided to launch a second charge.
“Enemy attack!
Without hesitation,
Wang He’s shouting instantly cut through the rain curtain and echoed in the sky above the lake.
Zhao Zhenfeng had anticipated the Holy Sect’s second attack.
Previously,
Zhao Zhenfeng had planned to pretend to enter the lake while having the
personnel on various sides on standby to lure tne HOIY sect’s people and Wipe them out in one fell swoop, so as not to leave any troubles.
However, he didn’t expect Chen Sheng to suddenly appear and catch him off guard.
Wang He didn’t know how Zhao Zhenfeng was doing.
But since the Holy Sect had charged, he could only do his best to intercept them while praying for Zhao Zhenfeng to appear safe and sound.
At this moment,
As Wang He gave the order,
Gunshots immediately rang out in the rain.
Armored personnel immediately fired bullets from their rifles at the rapidly approaching Holy Sect people.
Each team now had at least four people working together.
When two of them changed their ammunition, the other two threw their concussion grenades at the distance to delay the enemy’s approach while quickly filling the firepower gap.
Such a response would be effective against weaker Holy Sect members like the monkey-faced ones.
But against powerful martial artists like the sheep-faced and monkey-faced ones, the effectiveness was minimal.
After the first wave of attack.
Only a small number of monkey-faced men fell to the ground with bullets.
As for the sheep-faced men, they had already approached the ranks of the armed personnel in an instant.
It looked like they were about to slaughter them all.
Bang!
At this moment, a huge body descended from above.
It was Wang He, who had barely activated his breathing state.
Facing these powerful martial artists, the only ones that could slightly hinder them were the martial artists from the Martial Arts Association. Even though he knew that he was no match for the enemy, escaping was not part of Wang He’s code of conduct.
He had to block them even if he could not!
“Ridiculous.”
Looking at Wang He who didn’t launch an attack immediately but took on a defensive posture, a sneer flashed across the eyes of the sheep-faced man who had broken into the formation.
Swish!
The sheep-faced man’s arm shot out like lightning, piercing through the rain curtain and striking Wang He’s right rib.
But what he didn’t expect was,
in the face of his own attack, Wang He didn’t dodge or avoid it, but instead closed in.
Bang!
A fist landed solidly on Wang He’s ribs.
He let out a muffled groan, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged in an instant.
But his movements didn’t stop.
Two thick arms reached out and grabbed the sheep-faced man.
While the enemy was still unresponsive, Wang He quickly tightened his arms and lifted the sheep-faced man into midair.
“Idiot!”
The sheep-faced man, furious, couldn’t help but laugh.
With the difference in strength between them, it would only take an instant for him to break free.
And by doing this,
Wang He had put himself in mortal danger.
Without any hesitation, his fingers turned into claws and grabbed toward Wang He’s back.
Plop!
In front of the sheep-faced man’s iron-like fingers, Wang He’s defenses were as good as nothing.
Without encountering any resistance, his fingers pierced through his skin and headed straight for Wang He’s heart.
If this grabbed hold,
even if Wang He was a martial artist and had perfected his breathing technique, he would undoubtedly die.
But Wang He didn’t let go because of this.
“Fire! !!!! ”
He roared with ferocity, every single vein on his face bulging.
And the armed personnel around him.
Had already prepared.
At the same moment as Wang He’s voice rang out.
Bang bang bang! !
A series of gunshots sounded almost simultaneously.
The hand that was about to grab Wang He’s heart suddenly paused.
Warm blood covered Wang He’s face, and a large part of it rushed into his mouth.
The smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, making his stomach churn.
However, joy quickly surfaced on Wang He’s face.
Enduring the pain, he pulled the hand that was embedded in his back out.
With a casual swing.
With a plop.
The sheep-faced…no, the headless corpse fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere.
Standing in place,
Wang He could only feel his mind getting dizzy, and his vision gradually darkening.
He shook his head, knowing that now was not the time to lose consciousness.
There were still many enemies to be dealt with.
However, just as Wang He thought so, the moment he took a step, his body stumbled.
With a thump.
His huge body fell to the ground.
Fresh blood kept pouring from his back.
The wound was so large that Wang He couldn’t even use his muscles to block it.
He couldn’t even maintain the operation of his breathing state, and his body could only gradually shrink.
“Heh–”
His breathing became more and more labored.
Wang He slowly lifted his head and looked forward.
Through his blurry vision, he could see black figures rushing out of the woods and rapidly approaching.
The situation was becoming more and more critical.
He wanted to stand up, but his body seemed to have completely disconnected from his brain and didn’t obey his commands.
In the end, his body fell to the ground.
Wang He’s vision was completely plunged into darkness. But just before his consciousness fell completely into darknesss plashing he seemed to faintly hear the sound of water splashing not far away.
When Zhao Zhenfeng emerged from the water again, his face was extremely gloomy.
He didn’t catch the attacker.
Once the enemy entered the water, they disappeared without a trace.
After investigating, Zhao Zhenfeng realized that it wasn’t that the attacker had disappeared, but that they had moved incredibly fast underwater, and like they had a clear target, they swam straight towards the deep end.
Zhao Zhenfeng was only a moment late in entering the water, and the attacker had already swum to a depth of more than ten meters.
Just as Zhao Zhenfeng was relentlessly pursuing them, determined to not let go of the attackerhe heard noises coming from the shore.
Left with no choice,
Zhao Zhenfeng had to go back to the shore to deal with the Holy Sect first, then look for the attacker in the Sealed Land.
At this moment, his sharp eyes penetrated the rain curtain and looked around.
He saw the struggling Wu’an Bureau and Martial Arts Association members, and in the distance on the ground, the unconscious Wang He. Zhao Zhenfeng furrowed his brows and showed an impatient expression.
At this moment, he deeply realized how right the principle of the Power Sect valuing strength was.
These weaklings were useless in any task.
They only dragged down the footsteps of the strong..
