Da da da!
In the humid jungle, the sound of gunfire suddenly rose again.
This time, the battlefield suddenly shifted, with Qi Tianlong facing off against four opponents alone.
"Four? How come there are four more people?" Qi Tianlong felt a slight surprise, but it vanished in an instant.
He took a few strides, his body hunched over, and ran quickly toward the back.
"I've already hit the first man in black. Even if he's not dead, he's lost his fighting ability. I just need to deal with the next three." Qi Tianlong quickly recalled the scene in his mind, and was quite certain that his shot had hit the man in black's vital area.
This is his confidence; he believes in his judgment.
"You all turn around!" Qi Tianlong shouted as he ran, then turned around in an instant.
He crouched down, holding the gun, and the bullets in his hand shot outwards.
"Watch out, get out of the way!" the venomous snake shouted, then hid behind a tree trunk.
"That's a grandmaster, you two be careful," Viper warned. Hearing the gunshots fade, he strode out and continued chasing after Qi Tianlong.
"Understood." The two black-clad mercenaries positioned themselves to the left and right of the venomous snake.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Mu Shanhai was constantly paying attention to the movements ahead. Upon hearing Qi Tianlong's roar, he quickly said to Mu Shiyu and the other person.
"You guys go quickly, I'll protect you from behind," Mu Shanhai said solemnly to Mu Shiyu, raising his pistol.
Although he wasn't someone who used guns regularly, he did practice when he had time. While he wasn't as skilled as the others, at this moment, he was the only man among them.
As a father, Mu Shanhai had a responsibility to protect the two of them as they left.
Mu Shiyu took Jiang Xian'er's hand and ran quickly backward.
Their location has been exposed, and it's safe to say that without Qi Tianlong's interference, the venomous snakes would have caught up with them very quickly.
Their continued presence here would only cause Qi Tianlong more trouble.
"Tianlong, be careful!" Mu Shanhai shouted to Qi Tianlong, then glanced in the direction of the poisonous snake and followed closely behind Mu Shiyu and the other person.
The humid heat of the jungle took its toll on the group's bodies. They lacked sufficient water and food to sustain their escape.
Jiang Xian'er is gradually falling behind Mu Shiyu's pace.
"I...I think I can't go on." Jiang Xian'er gasped for breath, feeling as if her throat was on fire and parched.
At the same time, she felt that her legs had lost all strength, and she was now maintaining this pace purely out of her body's instinct.
"Can't you do it anymore? Hang in there a little longer. I know your physical strength has dropped to its limit, but if you just keep going, you can definitely do it." Mu Shiyu held Jiang Xian'er's hand and encouraged her.
Although Mu Shiyu said that, her own physical strength was also rapidly declining.
They've been fleeing through the jungle all night since last night. Even a grown man couldn't last that long, let alone two girls.
She was just a little better than Jiang Xian'er.
I know I will persevere. Jiang Xian'er's eyes were filled with determination.
Although the journey has been short, the experiences along the way have transformed Jiang Xian'er.
The pampered nature she had in the small town has been gradually worn away, replaced by a Jiang Xian'er with an incredibly determined heart, as steadfast as her Fairy Peak.
Mu Shiyu nodded emphatically to Jiang Xian'er, then took Jiang Xian'er's hand again and started running forward.
As the two people were running, they both thought of the same person.
"Sister Shiyu, I believe he will definitely come back."
Mu Shiyu, who was running ahead, did not reply, but simply nodded firmly.
Behind them, Mu Shanhai maintained a distance of more than 20 meters from the two.
He knew he was very important, but in front of his daughter, everything else seemed insignificant.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Qi Tianlong couldn't defeat the enemy, but rather that he was preventing any unforeseen circumstances.
If, if the enemy catches up, all they want is him, and his daughter can be guaranteed to be safe.
"This is the only thing I can do," Mu Shanhai thought to himself, gazing at Mu Shiyu in the distance.
On the other side, Qi Tianlong was trying his best to keep the three of them at bay.
When he turned around to look, he noticed that one of the mercenaries was chasing after Mu Shanhai.
Qi Tianlong quickly changed his position, using the surrounding trees to constantly cover himself.
"Number Six, on your left, watch out!" Viper shouted, then raised his gun and aimed at Qi Tianlong's position.
Da da da!
The machine gun in his hand instantly suppressed the firepower.
However, Qi Tianlong's lightning-fast speed, combined with the cover of the surrounding tree trunks, allowed him to effectively evade the venomous snake's suppression.
"Damn it, it actually dodged it!" Viper cursed angrily through gritted teeth.
Number Six heard the sound of the venomous snake, turned his head and saw that Qi Tianlong's figure had already reached him.
His expression changed; he hadn't expected this at all.
As if by reflex, he raised his gun and suddenly pulled the trigger in Qi Tianlong's direction.
"Aaaaaah!" Number Six yelled, pulling his gun down at his waist.
He knew the terror of facing a grandmaster, so he could only use this method to force Qi Tianlong to be suppressed by his powerful firepower and wait for Viper and Number Fifteen to return to the rescue.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Once the number six handheld machine gun had its right finger pressed the trigger, it never stopped firing.
Qi Tianlong rolled over and lay on the ground, then covered his entire body.
"Huh? He's gone?" Number Six frowned. Qi Tianlong had vanished right before his eyes, as if he had never disappeared at all.
Number Six, hidden behind the mask, was constantly drooling. The Grandmaster's powerful aura made him dare not relax in the slightest.
But Qi Tianlong's sudden disappearance made him extremely nervous.
The viper strode forward, followed closely by Number Fifteen.
"Number Six, where is he?" Viper shouted when he heard there was no movement.
Number Six's tense nerves jolted, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the venomous snake, preparing to speak.
But at that very moment...
Qi Tianlong suddenly stood up from the bushes in front of him.
"Number Six, ahead." Viper was startled, but didn't stop walking at all.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Qi Tianlong's gun was already pointed at Number Six.
Bang!
Bang!
"Go to hell." Qi Tianlong coldly looked at Number Six, who had turned his head away.
He was shot twice in the chest.
Number Six hadn't even had time to process what was happening before he collapsed to the ground.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out!
Qi Tianlong grunted and ran towards the back.
"Boss, I hit him," Number Fifteen, who was following behind Viper, shouted softly.
"Keep up with him, he's fast, and he's injured now, hurry." Viper glanced at Number Six's corpse and chased after Qi Tianlong.
This is the law of the battlefield: the war never stops, and there is no going back to care about the corpses.
Behind the tree trunk, Qi Tianlong's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale.
Blood dripped slowly from his abdomen, soaking his clothes and falling to the ground.
Qi Tianlong was breathing heavily; his bodily functions were rapidly declining.
Hearing the hurried footsteps behind him, Qi Tianlong smiled bitterly, realizing that he still didn't have enough confidence in facing so many people.
That's why he was never ranked in Yongle.
His diligent training did not go to waste, but sometimes, your efforts can never catch up with someone else's extraordinary talent.
This is not something that can be achieved through hard work, or rather, it is simply impossible.
There's a saying in Yongle: "The best ones have all gone to the front lines."
And he, Qi Tianlong, was simply someone who always stayed home.
He finally got a mission, but ended up facing two life-or-death situations. If Luo Chen hadn't appeared, his name might already be on the list of casualties.
"I know you're nearby. Come out, and I can give you a dignified death."
The sound of a venomous snake came from behind.
Qi Tianlong sneered, silently thinking, "Although I am not the strongest, it doesn't mean I am the most afraid of death."
"I only have a few bullets left. I need to find a way to take out the other guy." Qi Tianlong chose to make a final gamble; he knew his own capabilities.
But since they are mercenaries, and since they have accepted the mission...
He will defend it with his life!
This is the mission and responsibility of every mercenary.
Qi Tianlong leaned against the tree trunk, waiting for his last chance.
He would risk his life to hold off the venomous snake as long as he could kill the other mercenary.
Everything became quiet.
The viper gestured for Number Fifteen to step forward.
They all understood that Qi Tianlong had no chance to fight back after being shot, and based on the bloodstains, he must have been hiding behind a tree trunk.
Number Fifteen bent over, picked up his gun, and carefully moved his body, step by step, toward the big tree in front of him.
I walked lightly, trying not to make a sound.
Time passed slowly, and Qi Tianlong waited for the final opportunity.
"Huff!" Qi Tianlong gritted his teeth and struggled to keep his increasingly weak body going.
"ah."
Qi Tianlong roared.
The body moved to the left side of the tree trunk and suddenly appeared.
But his steps faltered the moment his body appeared.
Like a spring, the body retracted again.
Number Fifteen was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
And in that very moment of hesitation...
"The right side?" Viper tried to guess Qi Tianlong's location, pointing his spear at the right side of the tree trunk.
However, his judgment soon turned out to be wrong.
Qi Tianlong peeked out from the left side again, but this time, he didn't go back.
The last few bullets in the gun had already flown toward number 15.
Pfft!
Number 15's chest was riddled with bullets; he fell to the ground!
The bullets in the Viper Gun were aimed at the right side and fired.
After he realized his mistake.
Everything is over.
In the smoke after the gunfire, Qi Tianlong gave Viper a disdainful smile.
It's as if to say, "Look at your brain, it's as if it stayed in your belly after you were born."
Qi Tianlong didn't hesitate to pull his body apart and forcefully throw the gun in his hand at the poisonous snake.
The venomous snake dodged.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Tianlong rushed forward, drawing the dagger from his waist during the charge.
“Indeed, I’m not good with guns, but if you want to play with knives with me, then give it a try.” Viper stepped back and shifted his body to the side, instantly dodging Qi Tianlong’s dagger.
The venomous snake reached out with its left hand to grab Qi Tianlong.
"Then let's give it a try." Ignoring his physical weakness, Qi Tianlong wielded the dagger with the agility of a serpent. With a flick of his palm, the dagger's thrust quickly transformed into a sweeping motion.
This change rendered the snake's backhand attack instantly useless.
He quickly pulled back, lightly tapped his foot, and created distance between himself and Qi Tianlong.
Qi Tianlong held a knife in his right hand and protected himself with his left, staring coldly at the poisonous snake.
The venomous snake twisted its neck, glanced at Qi Tianlong's abdomen, and sneered, "You're already injured, and you're no match for me now. Do you want me to kill an injured person?"
"Is that so?" Qi Tianlong looked down and said coldly, "Fine, since you don't want to kill me, then let me go."
"You." Faced with Qi Tianlong's shamelessness, Viper was clearly caught off guard.
He stepped back with his left foot and slowly drew the samurai sword from behind his back with his right hand.
"Since you've chosen to die, I'll have to give you that chance." Viper, wielding his knives in both hands, faced Qi Tianlong.
The abdominal pain was causing Qi Tianlong's bodily functions to decline rapidly.
He gritted his teeth and faced the venomous snake.
The venomous snake struck first, wielding its knife with both hands and slashing straight at Qi Tianlong.
Clang!
Qi Tianlong parried with his dagger and caught it head-on.
"You won't last long. I've given you a chance. Countless people like you have died under my blade." The viper didn't take Qi Tianlong seriously at all, his words filled with sarcasm.
Qi Tianlong did not respond, tacitly acknowledging everything.
The weapons in their hands were already at a disadvantage for Qi Tianlong, making it difficult for him to meet a samurai sword with a dagger.
Moreover, Qi Tianlong had been shot in the abdomen and was no longer at his peak.
But until the very last moment, who can say for sure?
Qi Tianlong was prepared to risk his life to buy time for Mu Shanhai and the others to escape.
As long as Mu Shanhai and the others are not captured, their mission will be accomplished.
Finally, all hope rested on that young man.
Thinking of all this, Qi Tianlong shook his head and uttered a phrase that circulated among mercenaries: "I will defend the honor of mercenaries to the death and uphold my mission until the very last moment!"
After speaking, Qi Tianlong gave the venomous snake no time to react, his feet one in front of the other, his body shifting to the left and right.
The dagger in his hand repeatedly met the opponent's samurai sword.
It is good at being short.
Qi Tianlong pushed himself to the limit, constantly expending his life force to fight to the very last moment, making full use of his body and trusting in the weapon in his hand.
"You are indeed quite good, but unfortunately, you are still no match for me." The venomous snake smiled faintly and gripped the ground hard with its hind legs.
The samurai sword in his hand instantly pressed down on Qi Tianlong's dagger.
Before Qi Tianlong could react.
With a flick of his right wrist, the venomous snake slid the katana down the blade of his sword.
"Hah!" Viper grunted, pouring all his strength into his katana, slamming the blade heavily onto the dagger.
The massive rebound instantly sent a jolt of numbness through Qi Tianlong's right hand.
Seizing the opportunity, the venomous snake stepped forward with its right foot, its blade flashing horizontally, and slashed at Qi Tianlong's hand.
Qi Tianlong swung his arm and pulled backward.
However, this leaves the entire front of the body completely exposed.
Without hesitation, the venomous snake raised its left foot and kicked Qi Tianlong in the abdomen.
Bang!
Qi Tianlong fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood instantly spilled from the corner of his mouth!
