Chapter 1374: Chapter 1367: Resolving the Battle

He had just charged forward when he met two riflemen face-to-face, who, without thinking, thrust their rifles at him.

Faced with the sudden attack, Cheng Ziang dodged instinctively, and trusting his own weapon, he tried swinging his sword upward.

Clang Clang!!

With two crisp metallic sounds, he chopped through both rifles. Facing this, the two riflemen’s eyes widened in confusion.

It was well known that their rifles were not ordinary, made entirely of refined iron. Yet, in front of this enemy, it only took one slash to cut them through, which told volumes about the power of his weapon.

As a result, the riflemen didn’t think twice; they threw down the rifle butts and turned to run. Facing this conclusion, Cheng Ziang appeared rather speechless but allowed them to leave.

Meanwhile, Feng grew fiercer in battle. The soldiers surrounding her neither dared to close in nor back off; they could only helplessly risk their lives stalling. If it hadn’t been for the presence of her comrades, Feng would have probably used her ultimate move to clear the field.

She wasn’t unable to shake off these attackers; her leaping ability was strong, enhanced by super mobility equipment—it wouldn’t have been a problem for her to take off straight into the air, let alone leap high.

Her attacks incorporated the unique gun fighting skill created by Yalunte. Holding a sword in one hand, she occasionally drew her Yuanzi handgun with the other to shoot at clusters of enemies. Since her teammates lacked Inner Cores, she could fire without reservation, only needing to watch out for her own safety.

At the same time, on another front, Hu Daoke also began to show his might. Setting up a light machine gun, he fired indiscriminately at the most crowded enemy area. His machine gun, like a grenade launcher, continually exploded in the crowd, splattering blood and sending flesh flying.

Soon, he had cleared all the nearby enemies. The efficiency and lethal power were so great that even the Demon Clan soldiers following them were astounded, their jaws dropping.

Cheng Ziang was skilled with his sword, profoundly adept. Unlike Feng, who preferred slashing, thus his style was named sword technique, and Feng’s was called sword skill.

He was more accustomed to using throwing knives, but the soldiers’ heavy armor left no room for him to exhibit his skills; he had to slowly hack away with his sword.

After the fierce battle, the Dongsheng soldiers surrounding Feng abandoned over twenty bodies in their hasty retreat. Along with those killed by Hu Daoke and Cheng Ziang, the Dongsheng army lost around fifty men in total.

After the battle, the group assembled. Hu Daoke came up to Cheng Ziang and kicked him, his teeth clenched, "You’re quite capable, huh? How about it, is your achievement splendid?"

"Why are you mad? I didn’t get hurt..." Cheng Ziang, knowing he was at fault, smiled more as he spoke.

"This is not over; I’ll tell the boss when we get back!" Hu Daoke pointed at him aggressively.

"Are you a child to always tattle?" Cheng Ziang scratched his itchy scalp; if Luo’er found out about this, he definitely couldn’t escape a scolding.

"You better think of a way to make me forget all this, or else..." Seeing his expression, Hu Daoke seemed to soften a bit but was still huffy as he crossed his arms.

"So, you’re essentially asking me to bribe you, right? Fine, fine, fine, when we return, you’ll be the boss, alright?" Cheng Ziang shook his head helplessly.

The longer he knew Hu Daoke, the more he understood him. Clearly, Hu Daoke had been genuinely worried and angry, which was why he felt guilty.

Although they often bickered and teased each other for fun, they did care for each other. Although Hu Daoke’s care wasn’t always obvious, even someone as rough as Cheng Ziang could distinctly feel his concern.

As for Feng, it wasn’t that Cheng Ziang and Hu Daoke didn’t care about her, but they simply weren’t qualified to. Feng was too strong; unless she encountered a group of generals, there was no need for them to worry about her safety; she was simply not going to be in trouble.

After completing the battle, Feng sheathed her sword with a graceful gesture. Her Kedal metallic longsword, after wiping off the blood, didn’t have even a scratch on it—it looked as brand new as if it had just come off the production line.

Using the torch dropped by a Dongsheng soldier, Cheng Ziang saw a few droplets of blood on Feng’s innocent face, but she herself hadn’t noticed.

He subconsciously reached out to wipe them off, and Feng tilted her head, her eyes widening as she looked at him. She was curious about what he was doing but she didn’t flinch.

Touching Feng’s cheek, Cheng Ziang realized how soft a girl’s skin could be. Feng’s face was small, and her bangs made it appear even smaller. Her usual shoulder-length hair gave her a distinctively spirited and valiant appearance.

"Stop taking advantage of the situation, hurry up and find someone!" Hu Daoke slapped the back of his hand, speaking irritably.

"When did Feng become my sister?" Cheng Ziang paused, then asked.

"Well, she’s my sister then, just get lost!" Hu Daoke said.

"Hehehe..." Cheng Ziang didn’t know why, but hearing those words, his tense face inexplicably relaxed, and he couldn’t help but laugh happily.

"What are you laughing at?" Hearing his laughter, Hu Daoke widened his eyes and asked.

"Nothing, let’s go, let’s find someone!" Cheng Ziang shrugged his shoulders, not directly answering his question.

Having handled the patrol team, the group advanced. Big South East Peace City was indeed huge; it didn’t feel that way just looking at the map, but actually walking it, it was a long journey.

Along the way, they encountered two groups of Dongsheng army patrols. Although they fought and overcame them, they lost two men and three were wounded.

After about an hour of struggle, the whole of Big South East Peace City was in chaos. The Demon Clan army continuously entered from secret tunnels, cut off the roads between the city walls and the garrisons, preventing the Dongsheng army from aiding the walls. They were also vigorously fighting the guards on the walls, trying to open the city gates quickly.

As the battle expanded, the Demon Clan army deployed line infantry to enter through the tunnels into the city, forming firing lines on key traffic routes.

They were lucky and quickly cut off a Dongsheng army team. After three volleys, the Dongsheng army abandoned over two hundred corpses and the rest fled in disarray.

As the Demon Clan army continued to pour into the city, the scales of victory were already largely tilted in favor of the Demon Clan. If the gates could be opened and the outside forces could be let in, the city’s fall was only a matter of time.

However, even so, the Dongsheng army’s resistance was still very strong. Realizing the city gates could not be held, they began to contract their forces, planning to use the city’s buildings to defend and engage the Demon Clan in street combat.

The only resolution to this situation was Cheng Ziang and his group, who had infiltrated the city to decapitate the enemy general. If they succeeded, the Dongsheng army would lose unified command and fall into disarray, allowing the Demon Clan to conquer them one by one.

Turning a street corner, the group finally arrived at a street marked on the map as possibly being the general’s mansion, where the Dongsheng army had fully blocked access, making entry challenging.

"Damn, so many people, are we going to fight our way in?" Looking at the flickering lights in the distance, Hu Daoke, far from being scared, was unusually excited.

"Hmm..." Cheng Ziang pondered for a moment, then turned to Feng and said, "Feng, find a way to sneak in and directly decapitate them; we’ll create a distraction outside to support your action."

"Understood!" Feng nodded without hesitation.

"Hey, wait, you’re letting Little Fengye go in alone with just a gun, what if she encounters a general?" Hu Daoke asked anxiously.

"I’ll be fine," Feng said firmly, shaking her head and looking at him with her large eyes as if to reassure him.

"If she runs into danger, I will go in to save her," Cheng Ziang said seriously.

"Wait..." Seeing their determination, Hu Daoke sighed, then called out to Feng who was about to turn away, pulling out two flashbangs from his pocket and placing them in her hands, "Take these, these are the last two I have, you know how to use them, right?"
