The sounds of the battle overhead could be heard even hundreds of meters below.
Viktor stood beside a silver medical van, his amber eyes fixed on the black dots colliding and separating in the sky.
The teeth-grinding sounds kept coming from above. If you hadn't seen Gu Li face off against that Henry, you probably wouldn't have guessed that such a terrifying noise came from her slender body.
Viktor, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at the tense men behind him, then flicked his wrist to light one: "Mind if I have a smoke?"
Saide glanced away from the screen for a second, and normally he would have muttered, "Haven't they all started smoking?"
He just gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Immediately, all attention was focused on Gu Li, who was sent flying backward again. Bright red blood was flowing continuously from her nose, as eye-catching as the long sword in her hand that seemed to be wrapped with red ribbons.
The group clenched their hands tightly.
Gu Li casually wiped the blood off her face, her eyes fixed intently on the man opposite her. This was the first opponent she had encountered since she came out who had given her such a powerful sense of pressure.
Henry Witt's black hair was somewhat disheveled, and his face wore an excited smile. Judging by his attire alone, he looked like a young nobleman who had just stepped out of a banquet hall, but the crazy emotions in his eyes were enough to make people wary.
This is a madman disguised as an aristocrat.
He slowly withdrew his attack, straightened his body, and gently inserted one hand into his back, pulling out sections of pale spine stained with bright red blood, his expression filled with pain.
"You're the first opponent who's surprised me this much. I'm getting more and more interested in you, baby."
Henry, his hands stained with blood, tugged at the collar that clung tightly to his neck, tearing the meticulously tailored collar and revealing a small portion of his chest.
He casually flicked the bone whip in his hand and vanished from the spot in an instant: "How about making me even more excited?"
Gu Li stopped not far from him and couldn't help but shudder when she heard his words, if it weren't for the man's extremely serious expression.
She even suspected that this was Henry's way of deliberately trying to annoy her with his words.
The instant he disappeared, Gu Li resisted the urge to pick her ear, turned around numbly, raised her sword to block the attack, and the heavy force made her fall from mid-air to the ground instantly.
Henry's feet slammed into the mostly destroyed deck of the spaceship, leaving two deep craters. He appeared before Gu Li with an excited face, a look of near-madness washing over her.
"I can hardly contain my urge to taste your blood~"
Gu Li's brows twitched, and then twitched again. The longsword in his hand was entangled by Henry's bone whip. Henry's ability seemed to be related to speed, and he could close the distance to Gu Li in the blink of an eye to engage in combat.
The two remained locked in a stalemate on the deck for a while, until the last section of deck was finally destroyed, amidst the obvious breakdown and numbness on the faces of the Grantham fleet personnel.
The remaining personnel in the fleet had to abandon the main body and scatter in small spaceships, surrounding the two.
Gu Li flapped its wings, gritted its teeth, and instantly released its grip on the longsword. In the instant Henry looked surprised, Gu Li flipped over and kicked him in the stomach.
Before Henry could fly away, a longsword forged from blood quickly took shape in her hand. A small bone whale flew forward and landed on her shoulder. She took a deep breath and, with almost all her might, gripped the sword with both hands and stabbed it into his abdomen.
The sensation of flesh tearing through flesh reached his subordinate's hand. The next moment, Gu Li was thrown out, and the blood-stained sword flew out of his hand, turning into liquid on Henry's body. Henry cupped it in his palm and brought it to his lips to take a sip.
Henry stumbled onto a small spaceship, a look of intoxication and bewilderment on his face: "This is...so fragrant...such abundant and wonderful energy."
He drank the blood in his hand in one gulp, then appeared around Gu Li with an excited laugh, his bone whip lashing towards her head: "Haha...hahahaha...you're not a mutant, yet you possess such godlike power. Tell me how you did it, and I'll..."
Gu Li grew impatient with his entanglement, gripped the bone whip around her neck, and despite the blood dripping from it, flung it away. She twirled her short knife around and stabbed him in the waist before quickly retreating.
"Stop talking nonsense! Are all soldiers in Grantham like you freaks?!"
Henry, his initial arrogance and disdain vanished, replaced by an excited expression as he gripped the bone whip and licked the blood off it: "Pervert? No, you have no idea how sweet your taste is. Luckily you met me; if it were anyone else, they would have killed you on the spot..."
He paused for a moment: "...little by little...swallowing them into my stomach. There's no other way; they're all a bunch of brutes who act on instinct. I'm different. I'll keep you safe in a cage, constantly providing me with fresh blood..."
In the live stream, Gu Li's originally pale, blood-stained face turned green in front of everyone.
The entire process of the pervert harassing Gu Li with his own bone was witnessed by the barrage of comments. The screen was quiet for a moment, and then even more comments poured out densely.
[Oh my god.]
[Oh no, we've encountered a pervert.]
[Are all the officers in Grantham like this? I heard they're a religious state; maybe their brains are blocked by an evil god?]
[Aaaaaah, Lili, don't listen, it's a pervert!]
Gu Li tried to hold back, but couldn't resist taking a small step back as Henry approached. Henry threw down the longsword, and the blood in her hand swelled and gradually enveloped the short sword, causing it to lengthen.
Henry Witt gazed at this unexpected delight, his eyes brimming with surprise.
Gu Li gripped her sword and lowered her body slightly, her aura undiminished, but only she knew that the previous entanglement had exhausted her remaining strength.
The fine, dense pain all over her body felt like a continuous health depletion buff, causing her strength to gradually wane.
Her gaze met that of the smiling Henry Witt, whose wound, in which she had stabbed him, was still oozing thick, dark blood.
Victor frowned deeply: "That man hasn't used his ridiculously fast speed since just now. The wound must be having a significant impact on him."
Their aerial battle lasted too long. Gu Li had also been through a series of battles before this, including one against Henry Witt, whose physical strength was equally terrifying and whose skills were even more experienced and unpredictable.
"That's too much of a stretch..."
Viktor's gaze fell on Gu Li. No matter how powerful he was, Gu Li, now the commander of the 11th Legion, was still just a child.
He suddenly straightened up, his tall figure stretching the silver-black combat uniform into a wide arc, his well-honed arms exuding terrifying power.
He pried open the hatch of a crashed aircraft parked on the roadside with his bare hands, sat inside, and tried to start it. He muttered to himself, "As a teacher, I can't just stand by and watch my lovely students being bullied by a pervert."
The three people who were also there immediately stepped forward, looking at him expectantly: "Dean, I want to go too!"
Viktor impatiently reached out and grabbed Said and Alfoseny by the head, throwing them aside.
Sasha Hufan, who was a step behind, exclaimed, "What is that?!"
Someone went!
