Chapter 170: Assault! Assault! Assault!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Nearly a hundred P308 opened fire at the same time. There were over a hundred terrorists, and a dozen of them immediately toppled to the ground, their heads blossoming with blood.
The terrorists finally recovered from their shock. The AK-47s in their hands, which possessed enormous piercing power and a caliber of seven point six 2/39 millimeters, began to spray out fatal bullets.
Qin Fen held the Barret M82A1 in his hands. At this moment, it began to let out its unique furious roar. Its bullet severed the bodies of two enemies. Only when the bullet penetrated a person’s body did it stop its advancement of destructive power.
Fresh blood floated in the air along with bullets in the tunnel, turning the passageway into a bloody mess.
A terrorist stood next to his comrade who had his body severed in half from bullets. These terrorists couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air. The recruits they faced didn’t bring heavy weapons like artillery, but was there a major difference between this sniper rifle and artillery?
Gunfire, the screams of bullets, and the sound of bullets colliding into bulletproof vests became the only musical theme in this entire battlefield.
As members of the terrorist side began to fall, members of the recruits’ side began to fall as well from the attacks.
It was just that the recruit’s side lacked the manpower to reinforce themselves. Their team was that of nearly a hundred people. Every time one of the terrorists fell, another one of them would jump out from the stone building and continue maintaining their superiority of over a hundred guns opening fire at the same time.
“Du Peng.”
Qin Fen gave a cold shout on the battlefield. His eyes swept toward the cavern tunnel on the lower right side. There was an extremely narrow passageway there. Even though he didn’t know if they could get behind the enemy with this passageway, at least Du Peng could use this passageway to climb to the tunnel where the grenade had exploded.
Du Peng followed Qin Fen’s eyes and saw what he was looking at. He immediately understood Qin Fen’s intentions. He looked back at Qin Fen, somewhat not believing. If such a risky task could be achieved, the one who would gain the most meritorious credit would not be Qin Fen but the brave Du Peng who would enter within.
Du Peng had always felt complicated emotions toward Qin Fen. This man, who always considered Du Peng a friend, never spoke maliciously toward Du Peng.
As a friend, Du Peng didn’t know how he should regard Qin Fen’s behavior.
“Du Peng.”
Qin Fen’s gun rang out with another roar. At the same time, lights from the corner of his eyes swept down to his own leg.
Du Peng’s suddenly felt as if his chest was blocked up or something. Qin Fen’s move, in such a situation, was far too dangerous.
“Hurry up!” Qin Fen’s voice turned very strict.
Du Peng’s squatted on the ground, taking the risk to move closer to Qin Fen. The Phaseless Water Bird Art infused his left leg as he stomped toward Qin Fen. In the same moments, the large rifle in Qin Fen’s hand was propped up against the ground. The Flood Fist’s Soaring Cannon made his footsteps stomp toward Du Peng’s left foot.
In the instant the two feet collided, Du Peng only felt the sensation of the sole of his foot stepping on a cannon. He turned into an artillery shell in this very moment, one that was shot out by a large caliber cannon. His military uniform screamed without end as it rubbed in the air in friction. Even the scattered weeds on the ground swayed back and forth from this, and Du Peng traversed nearly twenty meters in an instant.
The powerful impact of falling to the ground wasn’t completely dispersed. Du Peng simply borrowed the momentum to roll a couple dozen times on the ground before all the momentum was completely used up. The movement technique that was the Dance of the Flying Swallow turned his entire self into a dancing swan. Though his power wasn’t as fierce as Qin Fen’s kick just now, his speed was in no way inferior.
The vast zone had a length of fifteen meters. Du Peng had already traversed thirty meters with his jump and roll.
The terrorists were given a fright by their cooperation. The two possessed a strength that was far too great. A dozen AK-47s pointed at Du Peng, who was performing very difficult military evasive maneuvers.
Qin Fen lifted his gun once more and fired at a terrorist who was just about to lock onto Du Peng. As the bullet flew out of the barrel of his gun, Qin Fen looked up. Three bullets from a round of burst fire nearly scraped against his forehead, flying past. The rotations of the bullets caused streams of a to not only tear the skin of his scalp, but also sever quite a few of the hairs from his head.
Scarlet Scorpion was unable to kill Qin Fen with his three bullets of burst fire. He gaped slightly with his mouth in shock. The reason why he hadn’t gone shooting at the sniper was because he was scared that the sniper possessed the intuition of a professional and top-class sniper and could detect the moment he was locked on by the enemy. This was why Scarlet Scorpion deliberately chose a moment to fire his gun when the sniper was distracted and saving someone. He never thought that his burst fire, which should’ve been in the back, would miss his target!
Bam bam bam…
Four or five bullets from AK-47s collided into the bulletproof vest on Qin Fen’s chest. He borrowed the force of impact to do a roll, and he heaved his sniper rifle and shot out, not even using his scope to take aim.
This time Qin Fen’s target was not an enemy but the chimney of the stone building on top of the second floor. The stone shattered from the bullet like a buried explosive. Stone fragments filled the entire sky, splattering everywhere without end. The forces of the fragments were in no way inferior to that of real bullets.
Nearly a dozen terrorists had no other option but to stop shooting. They first had to get out of the way of the flying rocks.
“Wuyi!”
The instant Du Peng flew out, Du Zhanpeng’s eyes flashed with an energetic glow never before seen. This was not the glow of arrogance, of looking down from up above. Du Zhanpeng understood extremely well about what Du Peng was doing.
Xing Wuyi did not answer, but rather he copied Qin Fen’s body in leaning back and facing up. Though he did not have the recoil force like Qin Fen’s soaring cannon, Du Zhanpeng’s Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary was just as domineering. The two let out their respective forces, causing him to fly at the same high speed toward Qin Fen’s location.
“Qin Fen!”
Du Zhanpeng’s body was in the middle of the air, as if he were an incarnation of a fierce tiger. He let out a roar from his throat. “Send me off with that move!”
It was the Soaring Cannon versus the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary!
The instant their feet collided together, the ground beneath Qin Fen’s body suddenly caved in several centimeters. The surrounding recruits felt as if there was an earthquake happening beneath their feet. Du Zhanpeng yelled out, and his military boots, incapable of enduring the enormous explosive power of slaughter, simply turned to ashes.
The collision of two explosively powerful forces caused Du Zhanpeng to traverse over two dozen meters. The moment his feet landed onto the ground, he borrowed the inertia to unleash the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary once again. He traversed yet over another dozen meters, attracting the firepower of a dozen or so terrorists once again.
The two people’s high-speed movement instantly drew the gunfire from nearly thirty guns. The recruits firepower once again held the upper hand, immediately blowing the brains out of a dozen or so terrorists.
Du Peng had just arrived at the entrance of the passageway when he heard the screaming wind from the friction between clothes and the air. He turned around and saw that it was Du Zhanpeng giving rapid chase. Du Peng was in no situation to think too much about things. He unleashed the Dance of the Flying Swallow with full force, rushing down the tiny path.
The two faded away from the intense battle one after another. Scarlet Scorpion’s expression immediately turned dark. The strength of those two people was likely greater than that of the other recruits, aside from that monstrous sniper. The ten terrorists he left behind might not be able to beat these two recruits.
“You guys continue. I am going to eliminate those two little devils.”
With the body flicker, Scarlet Scorpion returned to the stone building.
Qin Fen saw the money atop the building suddenly fly. He yelled into his microphone. “Lin Ling, change guns!”
The few recruits who heard Qin Fen yell were all stunned. Lin Ling had never demonstrated strength in using a sniper rifle during training. Why did Qin Fen want to swap guns now?
Without any response whatsoever, Lin Ling’s entire body became like a rabbit on the battlefield. She dodged and left nimbly in the space between the two sides. She executed every military evasive maneuver perfectly like a scene out of a textbook in a computer.
“I leave this to you.”
“Scarlet Scorpion must be killed at the utmost speed. Kill from the back, and be quick about it!” Lin Ling spoke the longest she had ever spoken since they started training.
Qin Fen revealed a gaze of admiration. The reason why he didn’t go just now was because Scarlet Scorpion was still here and the enemies’ militaristic heart wouldn’t be swayed at all. As long as Scarlet Scorpion was eliminated and a sweep of gunfire came from behind, the scales of victory would completely taut in their favor.
Without the help of the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary, Qin Fen raised the P308 and used the Flood Fist’s Soaring Cannon with every step. The powerful recoil force was in no way inferior to the speed that Du Peng and Du Zhanpeng displayed before.
The terrorists had already let two people escape. Letting a third person escape would increase the chances of the hostage being rescued. Another dozen of guns aimed at Qin Fen, and one of them instantly gave Qin Fen the sensation of being locked on.
On the brink of crisis, Qin Fen twisted his body in the air. The P308 in his hand was the first part of his body to make a move. Three bullets appeared in a triangular formation, locking onto the brains of the terrorist.
As the bullets rang out, Qin Fen turned around to fiercely glare at Lin Ling. One should give guns full of ammo! There were only a total of six bullets in this gun, and Qin Fen had used up three.
Bang….
The Barret M82A1 sniper rifle rang forth once again. Its bullet pierced three terrorists once more
Bang….
The Barret M82A1 sniper rifle rang out yet again. The bullet was like an enormous Calvary sword the ancient battlefield, leaving across. Two more terrorists were chopped in half. The last terrorist died from being penetrated by the bullet.
Bang….
The Barret M82A1 shot out three times in total, eliminating nine terrorists.
The terrorists stood at the top of the roof, having lost their leader—Scarlet Scorpion—for time being. All felt their legs go a bit weak. If the first gunshot that killed three people could be said to be blind luck, the second gunshot that killed three people could be said to be good luck, then what of the third?
The computational abilities of this female sniper rifle were far more terrifying than the man before her! She quickly calculated the positions where everyone stood in a glance, then she chose gun trajectories that would earn her the best yields.
The tunnel on the terrorists’ side wasn’t long. It appeared to be around five hundred meters. Du Peng held the initial advantage, his speed having superiority over that of Du Zhanpeng. He was the first to see the light of dawn as he charged out of the tunnel.
“Halt! Du Peng, I’m telling you to halt! Do you hear me!”
Du Zhanpeng’s two eyes were as wide as saucers. The veins on his neck pulsated. His voice wasn’t that of lofty arrogance but rather brimming with the taste of an order.
Du Peng turned his head to glance at Du Zhanpeng. Ever since he grew to understand things, this man always plundered everything of Du Peng’s. When Du Peng faced this man who always was composed and set up on high, he felt that this man must know what it means to fail.
“RAHHH!”
Du Zhanpeng suddenly roared out of nowhere. His body was quickly covered with a layer of yellow and black stripes. His muscles, originally quite muscular, suddenly squirmed and transformed at high speeds. He only had one foot with the military boots on it, and this foot, too, heavily trod the ground, shattering it. At the same time, the tyrannical twisting and weaving force completely lacerated the boot to smithereens.
Biochemical beast! Qin Fen, who was following behind Du Zhanpeng, saw this scene and thought of the two times he had encountered biochemical beasts in the past. It was just that Du Zhanpeng’s biochemical beast was clearly not at the level one evolution but the materialization fusion stage of the level two fusion.
Qin Fen didn’t feel any shock when it came to Du Zhanpeng possessing a biochemical beast; he was a child from a military family after all. However, to be able to reach the materialization fusion stage of the level two fusion at such a young age was something that truly made him a bit surprised.
This was the peak of four-star strength with the materialization fusion of level two fusion. Du Zhanpeng’s strength immediately erupted to the standard strength of the six-star level. Qin Fen’s experience from his encounter with the biochemical beast user Sajjad back in the day gave Qin Fen the confidence that Du Zhanpeng would be the winner.
Du Peng felt that the person behind him had his aura suddenly exploded like that of a fierce tiger. He turned around and discovered that Du Zhanpeng was actually using a biochemical beast.
In a mere flash, Du Peng felt as if his lungs were filled with fury that was incapable of being vented. The Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art is yours! The biochemical beast is yours! The Du Family is yours! Everything is yours! However, today, I will absolutely not give you the meritorious service for rescuing this scientist.
When fury rises to one’s limits, one would often have the chance of making a breakthrough. Though Du Peng didn’t have a breakthrough, his strength instantly increased quite a bit because of his fury. In the instant that the Du Zhanpeng was about to overtake him, he took the initiative to charge out the tunnel.
Ratatata…
The burst fire of an AK-47 rang out in this very instant from a place not far from the outside of the tunnel. Du Zhanpeng finally overtook Du Peng at this very moment. The Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary’s two claws ferociously pressed on Du Peng’s back. The military uniform, which was of excellent quality, was incapable of enduring the might of Du Zhanpeng’s two palms. The sound of cloth ripping rang in the air, and countless pieces of cloth flew into the sky. Du Peng’s entire body was like a shotput thrown into the air. He flew a dozen meters before heavily landing on to the ground. He then slid another dozen meters of distance.
“Motherfucker! I would have shot his throat to pieces just now.” Very dissatisfied, Scarlet Scorpion looked at Du Zhanpeng, who walked out of the tunnel with the face of killing intent. This was already the second time he had made a mistake in shooting.
“You’re the motherfucker! You nearly killed this boss’s human cauldron.”
Du Zhanpeng gnashed his teeth in anger, and his eyes were a bit red. He hadn’t completely unleashed all the power of his biochemical beast just now, but in this very moment, the power unleashed grew bit by bit because of his fury.
Qin Fen executed a couple Soaring Cannon’s in a row before he finally rushed out of the tunnel’s entrance. The P308 in his hands shot out three bullets in burst fire toward Scarlet Scorpion without the slightest hesitation.
The three bullets struck upon a rock, creating several crushed fragments. All year-round, Scarlet Scorpion was situated in situations where he was in the middle of being encircled and attacked. It naturally wouldn’t be easy to hit him.
The gun in Du Zhanpeng’s hands quickly followed up in firing. This soldier, who was utilizing a biochemical beast, far surpassed his normal abilities regardless and speed or reaction. Even Qin Fen was unable to calculate a plan capable of a hundred percent evasion during such circumstances.
“Scorpion!”
A hint of a dense air exuded from Scarlet Scorpion’s body. The bullets struck upon the surface of rock once again. He, who was Caucasian, had his skin suddenly turn scarlet red. The signs of anthropologists even appeared on the surface of his skin. He, who had just been at the five-star meteor level, reached the standard six-star in this instant.
“Sure enough, he too possesses a biochemical beast.”
Qin Fen and Du Zhanpeng weren’t really that shocked.
Even Sajjad, who possessed a bonus reward on the Federation’s bounty list for terrorists, had a biochemical beast that he could use. There was no wonder that Scarlet Scorpion would have one as well, for he had a bonus bounty that exceeded a hundred thousand dollars.
“Out of bullets, are you?” Scarlet Scorpion had a face that looked like a boiled crab. It carried a faint smile. “Youngsters are youngsters in the end. You guys are planning to kill people and seize their guns, right?”
Qin Fen saw Du Zhanpeng’s ear twitch for a second. He knew that Du Zhanpeng the gun was out of ammunition. The P308 in his hand suddenly shook, and the entire gun fell apart to pieces. However, the blade that was tied to the gun was grasped by his hand. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art arts infused into his right hand and arm in an instant. The highly dense cotton weave of his military uniform was incapable of enduring the wear and tear from the endless fighting. The threads ripped, completely bursting apart.
Scarlet Scorpion suddenly felt as if the coldness of the sun had brought a streak of light to fly at him. He turned his head in haste, and as the military blade flew past him, Du Zhanpeng’s Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary was about to engage in slaughter before him.
Du Zhanpeng didn’t have Qin Fen’s skill in dismantling a P308 with just a shake of his wrist. He instantly treated the firearm in his hand as an ancient battlefield generals crescent blade. He cleaved down from up above his head.
Scarlet Scorpion had just evaded a flying blade when he ran into the P308 that was smashing down. His two hands raised up in haste, bringing his AK-47 forward like a rod to block the stock of the P308 that could smash rock.
Bang….
The two weapons clashed together, immediately turning into a chaotic pile of components that flew all over the skies.
Qin Fen didn’t hesitate at all. His rights legs fell to shake the earth along with his left leg. At the same time, his left arm shifted to his chest. His right arm moved vertically up in a cannon fist from the inside of his left, striking with the soaring cannon that he used to rampage the battle network.
Scarlet Scorpion felt the earth shake, and he knew that the power of Qin Fen’s move would be in no way weak. His body moved back in retreat, and his two hands and a foot were placed on the ground. Only a single leg was raised up high from behind, and this leg fiercely smashed toward Qin Fen’s fist.
With this exchange of fist and foot, Scarlet Scorpion moved like a scorpion. His hands and feet were used to bounce back again and again. Qin Fen’s arm was flung back, and the weeds on the ground bent to touched the ground from the winds generated by his fist. Qin Fen forcefully stopped his fist right at their stems.
Qin Fen gently moved the joints of his five fingers around. His fist had touched Scarlet Scorpion’s foot for a mere instant, yet it was as if the enemy’s true energy had been injected into his fist like a needle injecting poison. Furthermore, the enemy’s true energy quickly spread like a poison. If he hadn’t borrowed the momentum of his flung arm, he probably wouldn’t have been able to instantly eliminate this bizarre true energy.
Scarlet Scorpion saw that Qin Fen’s five fingers were instantly able to bend and extend and movement. A hint of disbelief and shock could be seen in his eyes. Even a five-star meteor level expert might not be able to dispel his poison scorpion true energy as easy as this.
“What a bizarre neo martial art.” Qin Fen gently warmed up his palm. He puffed up his chest and walked over to Scarlet Scorpion, not preparing any defenses at all.
What’s this? Scarlet Scorpion didn’t have the time to think about what Qin Fen wanted to do. His body stuck close to the ground, and his two hands and two legs suddenly pressed down and back. He sprung out, as if he were a compressed spring. The right leg behind his body was sticking up high. Qin Fen even had a blurry sensation that what came smashing down was no human leg but an enormous scorpion tail.
Qin Fen treaded with the sole of his foot, performing a sudden turn. This spurred his waist to twist to the side. His body faintly gathered together, and the most Orthodox move of the Shaolin Arhat Fist appeared once more—the Dragon Guard!
Scarlet Scorpion never expected that his opponent would actually utilize the Dragon Guard of the fitness exercise of fist forms in this life or death slaughter. Furthermore, his opponent’s body was truly akin to a dragon entering the clouds to cover its body. The piercing needle of the scorpion could only pierce the air where it to continue on. Scarlet Scorpion turned his hand at the last moment to grab at Qin Fen’s lower body.
A vile move? Qin Fen saw this vile move of Scarlet Scorpion’s, which carried sinisterness but not a hint of true vileness, and his face revealed a smile of delight.
