Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 41: Sniper War, Surrounding the Reinforcements
The brilliant light of martial arts knocked down all the big trees.
However , Li Zhi still did not come out from his hiding place.
His intuition told him that Tang Zheng was not so easy to kill!
Even if a two-star peak warrior was hit head-on by the martial arts of a two-star mid-level or a two-star high-level warrior, he would most likely only be seriously injured, and it is impossible that he would be instantly destroyed as they speculated.
Sure enough, as soon as this idea appeared in Li Zhi's mind, Li Zhi and his companions who were standing still saw a figure, like a hunting black panther, appearing behind the three substitute players.
"Ah, be careful !"
"Behind, behind!"
Li Zhi and the others' screams and warnings had not yet reached the ears of the three substitute players who were flanking Tang Zheng...
A substitute player felt a sharp pain in his knee. The terrible feeling of a sharp blade cutting directly into his flesh and bones made his eyes go black and he passed out.
Another substitute player heard the scream behind him at this time, and jumped high like a frightened rabbit, and took several steps forward. Then he turned around nervously holding the weapon in his hand, and saw Tang Zheng holding a dagger and looking at him with a smile on his face.
The blood on the dagger dripped drop by drop until it fell limply at Tang Zheng's feet.
The face of his companion whose life or death was unknown, coupled with Tang Zheng's smile that showed no ill intentions... This scene completely chilled the warrior's heart. He screamed and ran away without even looking back.
Tang Zheng and Li Zhi looked at the rising stars, the warriors who were frantically operating the star power to fully activate the defense, regardless of their physical strength, and running in an S shape with great effort, and sighed at the same time.
Tang Zheng sighed because he had one less nameplate. This guy's crazy defense, coupled with his high-speed running, made it impossible for his charging and pressurizing starting move to guarantee that he could penetrate his defense and hit him accurately at the same time...
Li Zhi sighed because, in just less than ten breaths, two of the three substitute players who besieged Tang Zheng had been eliminated by him, and one was so scared that he didn't even have the courage to run back to his accomplices.
After a series of misfortunes, ownerless nameplates were scattered all over the ground in the jungle after the rain, waiting for everyone to pick them up.
Two of them belonged to the warriors who had been knocked down by Li Zhi and his team before, and the rest were all members of Li Zhi's gang who were knocked down by Tang Zheng.
They all hung quietly on their masters who had no fighting power left, flashing with an alluring glow as the examinees moaned in pain.
"Ah!" Li Zhi was considering how to deal with the current crisis when a scream suddenly sounded behind him.
Li Zhi turned his head and saw that it was the "Secret Bronze Team Member" he had just promoted yesterday. He could not resist the temptation of the nameplates on the ground and wanted to snatch the nameplates on the ground and run away while he and Tang Zheng were not paying attention.
As a result, Li Zhi didn't notice that Tang Zheng didn't leave him any chance at all!
He directly used a 1.3 times charged and pressurized attack, knocking down the fool who didn't even raise his star sign and was only thinking about taking a gamble.
Seeing another warrior lying on the ground, there were already five warriors lying on the spot where their spoils were originally...
"He is... surrounding us with the nameplates to attack our reinforcements! He is using the nameplates as bait and taking advantage of his distance in martial arts to engage in guerrilla warfare with us. He wants to knock us all down here!" Li Zhi looked at the five teammates who had lost their fighting and mobility and were wailing on the ground, as well as the glittering nameplates, and his heart sank.
A gang of nine people, first an initial team member and a regular team member were knocked down at the nameplate, and now a secret bronze team member has been knocked down.
The three substitute players who were chasing were also like a weakling trying to hit a dog.
Up to now, he only has three people left, and their strength is not even as good as when he just met Tang Zheng!
Looking at the few remaining hands and the nameplate left on the ground , Li Zhi's heart was bleeding.
If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences!
Li Zhi gritted his teeth, took a deep look in Tang Zheng's direction, and whispered to the two warriors hiding not far away: "I will shout three times, and we will leave immediately. Don't take the nameplate on the ground. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
The two original team members were extremely conflicted about whether to leave or give it a try.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, they all nodded.
Li Zhi was right. If the nameplate was gone, you could still go and get another one. But if you were seriously injured like the people on the ground, this assessment would be over immediately!
"One, two, three, run!" Li Zhi put down two more medicine bottles on the spot, sighed, and then shouted loudly. He also learned from the previous warriors, using all his star power to defend himself, running in a zigzag and random route, running wildly in the direction away from Tang Zheng.
The other two original teammates around him followed suit and ran away in shame with their tails between their legs.
“Haha, if they knew that my star power and star vein endurance were no longer enough to continue this kind of pressurized sniping, would they be so angry that they would vomit blood?” Tang Zheng looked at the backs of Li Zhi and the others as they fled, made a pistol shape with his fingers, blew away the non-existent gunpowder, and smiled: “Well, it doesn’t matter, I will tell them the truth after the assessment. Yes, I am such an honest person!”
After Tang Zheng confirmed that there was no one around who was prepared to reap the benefits, he took advantage of the jungle to quickly collect all the nameplates that had been picked up by others on the ground.
"Ten nameplates? What a pleasant surprise." Tang Zheng hung all the nameplates around his waist. Looking at the long string of glittering nameplates, he felt quite a sense of accomplishment.
Originally, he thought that there were a total of seven wounded soldiers on the ground who had lost their combat effectiveness, and there should be only five or six nameplates in total, because from his previous observations, the cannon fodder had no nameplates on them.
However, unexpectedly, one of them should be Li Zhi’s core partner and has more than one nameplate on him.
"All nameplates must be hung in a conspicuous place on the body. If someone who has hunted down more nameplates is knocked down, won't the opponent be able to take advantage of them all at once? Well, I'll give the nameplates to Tang Zixie for safekeeping when I go back. Next time I go out to rob, I'll only carry my own nameplates that the rules require..." Tang Zheng thought as he walked in the night, following the way he came, preparing to return to the 'safe house' to meet up with Meng Fenghua and the other three.
Tang Zheng's figure had just left.
In the jungle where only helpless wounded were left, a large number of footsteps , and a team of warriors dressed in the uniform of the academy rushed in.
They were specially arranged by the academy to rescue those candidates who were seriously injured and no longer able to fight.
As soon as Tang Zheng left, several candidates pinched the special contact signal sent to them by the academy and called for help. The two people who were defeated by Li Zhi's gang first were still slightly better. After such a long rest, although they were no longer able to fight, they could at least stand up and rest against the trees.
All the candidates who were knocked down by Tang Zheng were shot in the knee without exception...
One by one they fell to the ground, unable to even get up.
The instructors and seniors in charge of the rescue were a little surprised to see seven warriors lying in this small area of the jungle.
Could it be that two candidates have formed a relatively large group and just had a brutal fight here?
However, when he was providing first aid treatment to the candidates one by one, he made an extremely surprising discovery.
"Are all your injuries caused by the same warrior?!" the deacon asked in shock as he looked at the five warriors who had wounds in almost the same place, which were obviously caused by the same kind of star power.
"Replying to Deacon Xiao, we...hiss, indeed...we were defeated by the same guy..." A warrior with a stronger will, gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his wound.
"One person defeated the five of you?" Despite the fact and the confirmation of the person involved, the deacon still couldn't believe it. He frowned as if he suddenly thought of something and asked in a serious tone: "Could it be that a three-star warrior sneaked in? What does the warrior who defeated you look like, what is his star sign, and do you know his name?"
Hearing the steward's rapid-fire words, another warrior who was defeated by Li Zhi's gang said with some gloating: "Master steward, there were five of them, no, actually nine. First one was scared away, and then three more were scared away. The one who defeated them was not a three-star warrior, but a two-star peak warrior. Moreover, this person is probably known to all the candidates in this year..."
"Oh? A two-star top candidate, and everyone knows him... You mean, Tang Zheng?!" The deacon finally reacted, looked at the five warriors lying on the ground with some suspicion and asked.
It is possible for a two-star peak warrior to defeat two or three two-star mid-level warriors or above head-on...
But, five warriors above the mid-level of two stars?
I'm afraid the whole situation will be completely reversed.
According to this warrior, Tang Zheng was facing not just five warriors of the mid-level two-star level or above, but nine of them. In the end, he not only successfully defeated five of them, but also scared away the remaining four.
If you tell others about this kind of record, I'm afraid no one would dare to believe it, right?
Even the child with amazing fighting talent that finally emerged from Yisu Academy after decades of hard work may not be able to do it ...
"That's right... I, we... were indeed defeated by Tang Zheng. The other four have already escaped..." One of Li Zhi's former accomplices said angrily, and it sounded like he hated Li Zhi and the others even more than Tang Zheng who defeated him.
For a warrior, what he hates most is not being defeated by the enemy, but being abandoned by his comrades whom he trusts to the core...
Then, the deacon reconstructed the entire process of the battle from the mouths of several people who were still conscious.
"Okay, you guys take good care of your injuries. Send them all out of the forest." After listening to the wounded's recounts, the deacon stopped asking questions and directed others to take the wounded out of the forest. He stood there, carefully inspected the small battlefield, smiled and shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid this Tang Zheng will get a good score in this practical test again... But it's good, with a student like him enrolled, plus the ones that Lord Leng has carefully trained, our Yisu Academy will prosper in the next few years!"
