Chapter 9 Two Armor-Piercing Shells
……
Two days later, the Firehammer Squad entered the outskirts of County-level City No. 0201.
The city is dilapidated, and the buildings are crumbling.
There are more monsters on the streets, and it's more dangerous.
Gao Feng stopped near an abandoned commercial street.
There are signs of cat-like monster activity ahead.
Chen Gu squatted down and looked at the scratches on the ground.
"There's more than one."
Zhang Ke whispered, "Cat demons are fast, and their claws, teeth, and tail tendons are valuable. If we had a Beast General-level one, we'd have a big haul today."
Luo Feng's mental power quietly unfolded.
Soon, he detected an aura that was significantly stronger than that of a beast soldier.
From the shadows of the building, a long, slender tiger-cat monster with wagging tails slowly emerged.
Its stripes are deeper than those of a regular ocelot, and its two tails swirl gently like steel whips.
Gao Feng's eyes lit up.
"Beginner Beast General level, Twin-tailed Tiger Cat."
Luo Feng gripped his battle sword tightly.
This is the real prey that can repay the principal.
The two-tailed tiger cat is extremely fast.
Its appearance changed the atmosphere of the entire street.
Gao Feng let out a low shout.
"As usual, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will cover the flanks, Zhang Ke will watch the rear, Chen Gu will set up his gun, and Luo Feng should not advance rashly."
"Yes."
The Firehammer squad scattered instantly.
The two-tailed tiger cat seemed to sense danger, crouching low and hissing softly from its throat.
In the next instant, it transformed into a gray-black shadow and pounced straight at Wei Qing on his flank.
Wei Qing raised his shield.
clang!
The two-tailed tiger-cat's sharp claws sparked as they slashed at the shield.
Wei Tie cut in from the side, his curved blade aimed at the neck of the two-tailed tiger cat.
But the two-tailed tiger cat twisted its body, and its two tails, like two steel whips, lashed out at Wei Tie's wrist and throat at the same time.
"Be careful!"
Zhang Ke pointed his spear, forcing the two-tailed tiger cat's tail to deflect by an inch.
The high wind has already arrived.
The two hammers came crashing down.
boom!
The two-tailed ocelot was forced back several meters, its claws leaving deep marks on the ground.
Luo Feng did not rush to reveal his mental power.
He stood to the side and slightly behind, his Blood Shadow Battle Blade hanging down slightly, his eyes fixed on every exertion of the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat.
Zhou Yan said, "Gao Feng is the main attacker, the Wei brothers are the distraction, Zhang Ke is the backup, and Chen Gu is the ranged suppressor. The Fire Hammer team is coordinating well."
Luo Feng said, "I can tell."
"Then why aren't you making a move?"
"Wait until it reveals a weakness."
Zhou Yan smiled.
"Great. The client is finally not a novice debtor who only looks at valuations anymore."
The battle lasted for several minutes.
The two-tailed tiger cat is extremely fast, but Gao Feng is too strong.
Every time it tried to charge forward, it was forced back by Gao Feng's heavy hammer.
Wei Tie and Wei Qing were like two cold knives, constantly compressing its space to dodge.
Finally, the two-tailed tiger cat was struck in the front paw by Gao Feng's hammer.
Click.
The sound of bones cracking rang out.
The two-tailed tiger cat tilted its body.
At that very moment, Luo Feng moved.
He only took half a step.
But the person had already cut to the side and rear of the two-tailed tiger cat.
The mental power gently supported the center of gravity.
The first layer of the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade's power surged within his body.
The Blood Shadow Blade was so fast that it was reduced to a mere line.
puff!
The blade sliced into the side of the twin-tailed tiger cat's neck, following the angle of imbalance created by Gao Feng's earlier smash, and ripped open half of its throat.
The two-tailed tiger-cat roared mournfully and struggled frantically.
Gao Feng seized the opportunity and brought down the double hammers again.
boom!
The two-tailed tiger-cat's skull shattered, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
The streets quieted down.
Chen Gu, holding a machine gun, whistled.
"pretty."
Gao Feng glanced at Luo Feng.
"The timing is excellent."
Wei Tie nodded.
"That was a precise strike."
Luo Feng sheathed his sword.
The ledger lights up.
[A beginner-level Beast General-level Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat has been defeated.]
[Estimated value of materials for a beginner-level Beast General-grade Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat: 1000 million Chinese Yuan.]
[After allocation, it is estimated that approximately RMB 160 million to 200 million will be credited to customer repayments.]
Luo Feng looked at the last line.
"There are far fewer squads after the assignments."
"Nonsense," Zhou Yan said. "This is team prey, not something you can solo. If you want the full reward, go solo next time."
Luo Feng did not refute.
Gao Feng crouched down and began to process the two-tailed tiger cat's carcass.
Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing were on alert.
Zhang Ke helped turn the body over, while Luo Feng was responsible for cutting open the tail and taking the tail tendons.
The tail tendons of the two-tailed ocelot are almost translucent, tough yet flexible.
As soon as Luo Feng cut open a section, Zhou Yan's voice suddenly changed.
No more laziness.
No more jokes.
Like a knife, it suddenly loomed over Luo Feng's mind.
"Luo Feng".
"Sign the contract."
Luo Feng stopped what he was doing.
"What?"
A light gold panel popped up directly.
[Crisis Early Warning Loan]
[Loan details: Ballistic warning in the next 1.8 seconds.]
[Loan Details: Dangerous ballistic markings.]
[Loan details: Premature activation of bodily responses.]
[New principal: 3000 million Huaxia Coins.]
[Should a contract be signed?]
Luo Feng did not ask why.
Zhou Yan's tone only proves one thing.
People will die.
"sign."
[Crisis warning loan agreement completed.]
The next moment, the world seemed to slow down.
In Luo Feng's field of vision, two pale golden trajectories extended from the direction of the tall buildings in the distance.
One line pointed directly at his head.
The other line points directly to the back of Gao Feng's head.
If Gao Feng cuts the corpse using the original movements, the body will just sway away.
The bullet would graze Gao Feng and then fly towards the location of Zhang Ke's right arm.
Zhang Ke's arm will break.
Luo Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Zhou Yan spoke very quickly.
"The original reaction rate was insufficient."
"Apply for a joint loan."
A second loan page pops up.
[Nine-Layer Thunder Blade Pre-Battle Loan]
[Loan Details: Permanent mastery of the second and third levels of the Ninefold Thunder Blade technique.]
[Loan Details: 28% of the funds will be used for stable output.]
[Loan details: Experience in intercepting bullets with a blade.]
[New principal: 2 million Huaxia Coins.]
Repayment methods: Monster materials, captured equipment, cash, and treasure resources.
[Should a contract be signed?]
No gunshots were heard yet.
The bullets are already on their way.
Luo Feng uttered only one word.
"sign."
[The Nine-Layer Thunder Blade pre-battle loan agreement has been signed.]
boom!
The power delivery routes of the second and third levels of the Ninefold Thunder Blade seemed to be forcibly branded into the body.
This is not a deduction.
This is not the beginning.
Rather, it means complete mastery.
How muscles tremble.
How do bones bear weight?
How a blade can explode in an extremely short instant.
With the first level already mastered, the three levels of power are now completely integrated.
There were no gunshots.
Only two ballistic trajectories were observed approaching in the warning.
Luo Feng made the first move.
The first armor-piercing projectile was aimed at his forehead.
Luo Feng did not take the hit head-on.
His feet shifted half a foot to the side under the power of his mental energy.
The armor-piercing bullet grazed almost to his ear and struck the wall behind him.
boom!
Large pieces of rubble were blown off the wall.
At the same instant, the second armor-piercing shell was already behind Gao Feng.
Gao Feng was still squatting beside the corpse of the two-tailed tiger cat, his dagger about to cut open the fur.
He had no idea the bullets had arrived.
Luo Feng's Blood Shadow Battle Blade slashed out diagonally.
The third layer of lightning blades erupted.
The mental energy was simultaneously applied to the blade, making the blade so fast that it left a blurry afterimage.
Clang!
The blade did not strike the bullet head-on, but instead grazed the side of the bullet.
The trajectory of the armor-piercing projectile was forcibly deflected.
It swept past Gao Feng's ear a foot away and then flew off, grazing Zhang Ke's arm guard.
