“Charge! They have no energy left!”
“Kill them!”
“Kill kill kill!”
Crazy violent roars, rang throughout the streets, when the crowd of martial artists charged in from the ends of the streets, everyone viewing the battle in the city was aghast.
A crazy decision!
Everyone was shocked by the sight before their eyes, as well as by the decision of Gu An Xiong and the Great Clan Elder, Tang Tian and Ling Xu just killed the Hua brothers, this meant that with this battle, both of them entered top fifty of the Humble Forest Planet. Under such circumstances, both families actually launched an attack, were they not afraid of Tang Tian and Ling Xu turning the tables on them?
As long as one of them awoke, they would be done for.
But everyone could not help but admire the two, to be able to be so decisive and mad alone was a feat.
The martial artists swarming in, rushed and sprinted towards the location of Gu Xue and company, the ground rumbled noisily, the whole of Black Mountain City was shaking.
Da Wei’s speed was extremely fast, he and a few other experts of similar capabilities charged right in front, they were like the spearheads of the crowd. The wind howled in their ears, each of them executing their light body technique to its maximum, flying past walls, stepping on rooftops, advancing together!
Each shadow was like an arrow piercing through the sky.
Da Wei’s fear had long disappeared into thin air, the crowd’s craziness affected him as well, that’s right, this was their only chance! Everyone in the surroundings was like a wild beast, the roars and howls of the last battle, converged into an amazing energy.
He believed that this energy could tear through anything!
A battle to fame, so what? To be able to kill the Hua brothers, so what? You guys have no chance!
Suddenly, a bronze figure appeared in his vision.
That was……
His pupils constricted, a mechanical weapon!
Although this was his first time seeing the actual stuff, he was still able to recognise it at once. This roughly 2 m tall bronze tiger armour before his eyes, was a legendary mechanical weapon!
A mechanical martial artist?
Da Wei was a little surprised, could it be that there was a mechanical martial artist hidden among these people? Da Wei was most adept at stabbing, for such martial artists like him, any kind of mechanics were their natural enemies, their research in this area, was just below the machine engineers. The mechanical weapon before his eyes, he instantly recognised it, the typical Southern Cross Army style.
Very realistic! Seemed really realistic!
The dignified and solemn tiger, the joints filled with pricks, the razor sharp curved tiger claws……
Even though they were far apart, he was still very amazed. Regardless of the body structure, or model, including some intricate patterns, were very realistic, he had seen numerous imitations, but not one could achieve such standard as the one before his eyes.
However, Da Wei was not alarmed. The standard of the machine engineers decided the standard of the mechanical weapon, and the standard of the mechanical weapon decided the standard of the mechanical martial artist. The standard of machine engineers nowadays was just normal, and mechanical martial artist was an even more unpopular occupation, thus the standard could be imagined.
“Hong Guang, I’ll leave that mechanical martial artist to you! The others cover for him!” Da Wei raised his voice, even though the opponent’s abilities should not be too high, right now timing was more important than anything else, ending it quickly was the key.
“Okay!” A boorish man replied, his hands holding a long-handed pumpkin hammer. Mechanic martial artists were most afraid of being outnumbered, because mechanical weapons were usually not very durable.
The distance was closing between the two parties.
That mechanical martial artist was still indifferent, motionless, and Da Wei was suspicious, was that a showpiece?
But then, he did not hesitate, and shouted, “Everybody charge!”
Numerous martial artist bolted up, and drew a few arcs, pouncing on the mechanical martial artist from all directions.
The cold glare crossed in the sky, howls came from everywhere, as though he were surrounded by a net, the mechanical martial artist had nowhere to escape!
Suddenly, the mechanical martial artist on the ground raised his head.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Bing looked at those figures pouncing over, he did not feel any fear, instead, he felt dazed.
How long had it been since he was last on a battlefield?
He already could not remember, not knowing since when, the leader found that he had skills in grooming recruits, and transferred him to be an instructor. Oh, wrong, there was a time when they lost badly, and had insufficient replacement soldiers, the leader felt that there was a need to open up a recruit training camp. After that none of those bastards were willing, and then, Bing became the instructor of the recruit training camp.
Since then, he had never gone to the battlefront.
Those bastards always boasted, to let him stay at the back safely, and leave the frontline matters to them. Initially he was still worried, those bastards were not trustable, but then he realised, they did quite a good job, so he felt at ease, and groomed recruits wholeheartedly.
He became more and more outstanding, everyone complimented him, after the camp added a few more instructors, he became the chief instructor.
However, the feeling of a battlefield… … he had never forgotten!
The period when he was following the leader around fighting battles, he never forgot!
He did not expect, after so many years, he would step onto a battlefield once more…… Hmm, okay…… Actually just a small-scale fight……. However, it was still counted as a battle of some sorts right……
If leader and the rest were still around, how great it would be…… hmm, you guys would definitely be fighting internally to decide who goes first, yes, definitely!
The corner of Bing’s mouth subconsciously drew up into a warm smile.
Those speedily advancing enemies in his vision, were as though empty air in his eyes.
Leader, I will battle properly, and not disgrace our army!
Although you guys won’t be able to see it, although the army’s flag no longer flies in the sky, although there is no longer any defense, although the glory we created together has been annihilated in history……
Even the name of Southern Cross Army, was slowly forgotten, what a pity……
Since only I am still alive……
Then let me protect its glory, let me remove the dust accumulated on the name for a thousand years!
Let me wake up the world’s deepest feeling for this name
— Fear!
Southern Cross Army, onward!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The eye of the bronze tiger seemed to flash, Da Wei’s heart tightened suddenly for no reason, he subconsciously blurted, “Careful!”
The Saber-toothed Tiger suddenly vanished.
Almost instantly, it appeared behind Hong Guang.
Poof!
The razor sharp tiger claws were not obstructed, and sank into Hong Guang’s chest, then the Saber-toothed Tiger vanished once again!
A bright spurt of blood splattered from Hong Guang’s chest without warning.
Spurt spurt!
Another two spurts of blood splattered from two bodies.
The bronze figure was too fast to be caught by the naked eye, in the blink of an eye, three experts lost their lives, the others did not even get to see clearly how their companions died.
Piak, the heavy Saber-toothed Tiger landed lightly, as if the feet were heavily padded.
The moment the Saber-toothed Tiger landed, the three bodies fell to the ground like sandbags, creating a cloud of dust, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.
Da Wei’s face turned white, the three who died were elites of the two families. The opponent could actually easily kill all three at once under their combined attack!
How formidable…… even the soldiers in Southern Cross Army Era, would not be able to execute such scary moves right?!
Since when, was there such a formidable mechanical martial artist?
This fellow…… who exactly was he?
A pity, Bing did not give them any time to ponder, in almost an instant, the Saber-toothed Tiger vanished once again.
Elbow strike! Fist punch! Knee kick!
A very simple attacking technique, with no fanciful stunts, but it had an extraordinary lethality. Da Wei personally witnessed a martial artist, who was clearly blocking the fist of the Saber-toothed Tiger, yet the bronze fist effortlessly broke the arm of this martial artist, and penetrated his body!
Da Wei’s face had no trace of blood left at that moment.
Such a scene, was no longer terrifying, but truly brutal.
The Saber-toothed Tiger was like an emotionless killing machine, no one could defend against it, every time they attacked, they would lose their lives. No matter whether you hid, or how you blocked, before this Saber-toothed Tiger, everything was futile. He emotionlessly took many lives, and no one could receive his attack.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all the attackers just now were left with him alone.
Da Wei’s limbs went ice cold, he shuddered, and with a face of terror, he had no courage to resist and counterattack.
Would the next one be him……
Boom!
Numerous roaring and bellowing figures flooded in and charged towards the cold Saber-toothed Tiger. The exceeding numbers and deafening roars, made the colour return to Da Wei’s pale face.
No matter how formidable the opponent is, he is still alone!
One person, no matter how formidable, would not be able to defend against so many people……
As long as he charged over…… it would be victory!
Suddenly, Da Wei was shocked, in his eyes, the Saber-toothed Tiger did not escape, did not dodge, but crouched low and faced the crowd with its bronze arms spread wide open like wings.
He…… what was he thinking?
A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his mind, was he preparing to block everyone by himself?
Haha, impossible, definitely impossible!
Da Wei felt that his idea was too ridiculous, seemed like he had been scared out of his wits by this fellow just now.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
“Ah Bing, this area, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Ah, leader, just me alone?”
“No choice, we have too many casualties. Don’t worry, your area here won’t be the main attacking point, you just have to endure for twenty minutes, and I’ll be back. How’s that? If you can’t I’ll change someone else.”
“I’ll try……”
“Try my foot, it’s final then, if you die, we’ll offer you incense!”
“Leader, incense is very expensive, at the moment the army is very poor……”
……
The messy, full of holes, defense line, that smoky grand figure, and his own wrecked-beyond-recognition mechanical weapon……
Suddenly, memories flooded Bing’s head, that was his last battle, after that battle, he went to form the recruit training camp.
How similar……
The corner of Bing’s mouth slightly curled up, his waist lowered, slightly crouched, his body leaned forward, both his arms spread open like wings.
It has been a long while since I last used this technique…… no idea if I have become rusty……
Leader, if it is not accurate, do not scold me……
After smiling, Bing’s expression became cold, and charged out.
