Chapter 1097: Chapter 62: Kill and Spoils of War (Three More)

To repair the damaged Angel of Death, Pang Meiqin spent a total of one thousand points, but the cost was worth it. Probably because psychic armaments are scarce and require specific game scenarios to acquire, it could evolve by fusing various metals. Moreover, it can now be equipped with various attachments and external weaponry, possessing firepower akin to that of a battleship’s cannons. Not only that, but it also comes with its own energy shield, combining offense and defense.

Once she activated her power armor, Pang Meiqin’s appearance and aura changed in an instant. The Angel of Death was painted in blue and white, and as the core power furnace restarted, armor wrapped around her beautiful legs up to her knees in the form of a skirt, forged from transparent metal that resembled blocks of ice. The segments were flexible, flowing with a blue shimmer.

Her waist and abdomen were covered by semi-transparent armor, allowing her fair skin to show through, while her chest and neck were heavily protected. At the position of her heart, there was a blue crystal—that was the power furnace.

On Pang Meiqin’s head was a war helmet adorned with two vivid feather ornaments. When the thrusters at her back emitted blue light, they cast a mesmerizing glow under the moonlight, dispersing an aura that was a mixture of beauty and chill.

The process of arming herself took less than a second. When Ruan Feifei saw Pang Meiqin lunge forward and transform, she couldn’t help but feel envious. At that moment, with a stern expression on her face, it was as if Major Qin, the genetic soldier, had come back to life.

"Fight, and then win!" Pang Meiqin’s right hand fired Hell’s Song, shooting out luminescent explosive arrows with a whistling blast, striking the evil spirit knight.

"Purify!" The knight glared with rage, attempting to ignite Pang Meiqin while simultaneously cutting the demon lock chain and swinging his arm like a whip, lashing at her.

Boom, a blue light shield popped out, blocking the burning flames. The chains struck against it, sending sparks flying in the dimly lit Long Street. At that moment, Pang Meiqin looked like a blooming ice-blue rose.

After five seconds of struggling, Pang Meiqin was still flung away, crashing into a nearby wall. The evil spirit knight, with strength surpassing third-order, effortlessly overpowered them. Tang Zheng was slightly passive because he lacked methods to break demonic power, but she managed to buy the team some time.

"Impressive," Dantai commented, after he had mounted a super spiritual power bomb on the Hell Motorcycle and jumped down to detonate it, flipping the knight over.

Tang Zheng tried on the Hellfire armor but was still restricted; it seemed he could only engage in melee combat. Li Xinlan continued to deeply freeze, encasing the knight in a block of ice.

Boom, flames erupted from the knight as he shattered the ice. The two group leaders pounced on him, thrusting cold weapons into his skull, and Ruan Feifei’s lightning also struck down.

The Nightmare Vines proved effective; the knight was injured and let out a piercing scream.

Teng Yuanxiang, upon seeing the knight’s ferocity, didn’t dare approach, and Tao Tao was even less likely to do so. Yu Manli, fearing for her status in the team and Tang Zheng’s opinion of her, was willing to risk her life. It was a pity, for a melee fighter’s ability was no match for the knight; she was hit in the stomach with a punch just as she rushed toward him, spewing gastric juice and tumbling away.

As a long-range attacker, Ruan Feifei was relatively safe, and moreover, she didn’t have the courage to charge in.

The evil spirit knight was skilled in gauging people’s hearts and pounced on these weaker members, aiming to kill them first in order to break the enemy’s psychological defenses.

Tang Zheng intercepted the attackers and summoned warriors to attack, then released Daylily to bestow status buffs on everyone, launching a siege on the Knight. Not just that, the Queen’s Heart spawned a clone and the mighty eagles of Ou State also appeared. Tang Zheng finally went full firepower.

Sha Ou didn’t engage in melee, instead, he used telekinesis to bind the Knight’s movements, adding gravity suppression, and finally everyone got the upper hand.

Once Tang Zheng got a grip on his opponent, he wouldn’t give it a chance to escape. But after dismantling its bony body, only the Skull was left, a very small target and incredibly resilient.

The chains rotated, forming a ball, protecting the Knight’s Skull, which then shot out like a Cannon Shell. He started to flee.

Li Xinlan erected an Ice Wall to intercept without hesitation and stepped out. The Vampire Curved knife swept across, but failed to stop the Skull. Dantai chased after it, but Pang Meiqin was faster, rushing by like a hurricane and cleaved down with the Ripper onto the chains.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal grinding, the Ripper cut through some of the chains, sending the Skull back like a baseball, colliding with Tang Zheng.

The Skull changed trajectory to dodge Tang Zheng, but the Group Leader was faster, nearly breaking the sound barrier, rushing forward with tremendous momentum, and under the gravity suppression, Snowball pierced through the chains, stabbing the Knight’s Skull.

Tang Zheng waved his blade, smashing the chains onto the ground. The wretch was restless, still trying to escape, when lightning, Ice Spears, telekinesis, and Ghostly Storms bombed it collectively.

Pang Meiqin’s thrusters went full blast, lunging again. The Ripper chopped down and then she grabbed the Demon Lock Chain with one hand, ready to forcefully tear it apart.

The exposed Knight’s Skull sprouted a Halo, attempting to regenerate its body, but before it could take shape, it was smashed to bits. The Warhammer Team surrounded it and after a furious two-minute beating, the demon knight was finally slain.

"Tough to beat!" Dantai let out a breath. Although Sha Ou was seriously injured, no one died, which was the best outcome.

Tang Zheng picked up the dropped Golden Seed and tossed it to Yu Manli and the others who had joined the fight, then distributed the three dropped props.

Hell Motorcycle, SS grade rare vehicle, acquired in special scenes, a motorcycle with a soul, can absorb one-fifth of the damage for its master, can travel on any road surface, even vertical skyscrapers and steep cliffs are not a problem, has autonomous driving skills, possesses Soul Roaring Skill, able to crush and ram any enemies, and causes double damage to spirit-type monsters.

Remark: This Hell Motorcycle can merge with any non-living-class vehicles, granting them its innate traits.

Demon Lock Chain, SS Grade Equipment, dark in appearance, usually stored as a pattern on the back of the hand. It can be shot out and automatically track targets, with Purifying Flame that burns souls, Demonic Break, Spiritual Break, offering both defense and attack, equipped with a binding ability, after capturing a target, there is a two percent chance of producing an imprisoning effect, leaving the target forever unable to escape.

Demon Slaying Holy Flame Enhanced Version, SS Grade, now with a rapid-fire and area-of-effect skills, carries a two percent chance of a sure-kill effect.

Tang Zheng tossed the Holy Flame to Dantai, who he had long noticed fancied that weapon.

"I’ll take the Hell Motorcycle." Tang Zheng needed mobility, and clearly, the Velociraptor Mount no longer sufficed, nobody objected.

"The Demon Lock Chain goes to Meiqin, everyone saw her performance in the fight," he declared.

Again, no objections; Ruan Feifei, feeling inferior, was quite frustrated, but Pang Meiqin certainly didn’t complain about having too much equipment, although the usefulness of the chain was limited, she still took it.

"Sister Manli and Xin Lan both worked hard, one Star Seed for each." Tang Zheng looked towards Ruan Feifei, "If you want to get stronger, you need to fight hard. Always staying back for ranged support and never facing the brink of life and death, you’ll never experience a Seed burst."

"Got it," Ruan Feifei, chastised by Tang Zheng, had a face changing from green to red, but eventually didn’t dare retort.

Although Sha Ou was seriously injured, he didn’t contribute much in the battle, so Tang Zheng couldn’t give him a Star Seed. Sha Ou knew this and thus, didn’t complain.

"Let’s head back." Dantai summoned his vehicle, picked up the lightly treated Sha Ou, and they lost another combatant.

"Tao Tao, if you want to survive, you have to work hard." Tang Zheng sighed at Tao Tao, who was cowering and crying from fear – a matter of personality; he couldn’t help even if he wanted to.

"Hey, new master, I am the most perfect vehicle; you’ve hit the jackpot so send me the tastiest souls." The Hell Motorcycle’s tires burned even more fiercely, seemingly expressing its excited mood.

"Fuck, don’t suddenly speak up, it can scare someone to death," Tang Zheng kicked out, startled by the Motorcycle speaking out of the blue.

"Ouch, my leg is broken, I’m going on strike." The Motorcycle let out a pitiful scream.

Tang Zheng didn’t care for its fuss, mounted it, ignited the engine, twisted the throttle, and shot out like an arrow.

"I smell late-night snacks." As they passed a Gas Station, the motorcycle started nagging again, seeing that Tang Zheng didn’t stop, it got angry, "Is this how you treat the most perfect vehicle?"

"Can you fly?" Tang Zheng shot back, effectively silencing the Motorcycle.

After this battle, the main forces of the Warhammer Team had more Sin Points than the American Team; even Rogers dropped to sixth place, which irritated him to no end, but more vexing events were yet to come.

Early this morning, the Special Action Team raided an American Team’s hideout based on a tip-off from the Street line, aiming to rescue hostages. Although discovered by Anna and repelled, they still lost a soldier.

The American Team relocated, but having killed a number of policemen, they became a target for everyone, with wanted posters all over the city. Now without any refuge, they were as miserable as rats running across the street.

The next morning, after having Breakfast, Tang Zheng, dressed in a brand-new police uniform, went to work. Not long after sitting down in the office, a policewoman walked in.

"Inspector, someone wants to meet with you," the policewoman said, her face stern.

"Who?" Tang Zheng frowned.

"Two Ordinary Citizens, they want to buy a position as a policeman," the policewoman said boldly.

"Not seeing them," Tang Zheng said, preoccupied with another significant matter, without the leisure to sell police ranks.

"Inspector, they have a lot of money," the policewoman persisted, hoping for a generous commission if the deal went through.

"How much did you take?" Tang Zheng put down his pen and looked up at the policewoman in front of him.

"No, none!" the policewoman denied.

"Good, you are fired, and because of accepting bribes, you will be under investigation." Tang Zheng reached for the phone to have her taken away.

"Please, Inspector," the policewoman’s face lost all its color as she lunged for the phone, "I need this job, I have two children to support."

"That’s your problem." Tang Zheng got up, ready to have the policewoman removed.

"Wait, Inspector." The policewoman suddenly went all-in, tearing off her buttons, yanking out her bra, and lifting her police skirt to her waist, ripping her black stockings.

"Trying to threaten me?" Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow, guessing the policewoman’s intent, no doubt feigning to have been assaulted, compelling him to compromise. (To be continued.
