Chapter 1112: Chapter 76: Escape, Go Berserk, Kill! (Request for Monthly Votes)

Rogers was unfazed precisely because he possessed two precious, rare cards.

One was a Team Dismissal Card, SS-level, which allowed him to attack allies without penalty. Being a Fourth-order Hero himself, if used well, he could completely launch a surprise attack and kill another Fourth-order Hero. The Individual Exemption Card he obtained after killing a Russian team leader was the most valuable of his spoils of war.

The Individual Exemption Card, an SS-level rare equipment, permitted the user to leave the game and return to the Trojan Room even if the mission failed, but it required him to accept severe penalties; his physical abilities would be reduced by two-thirds, and he would be restricted from using his highest-level props in the next round.

Even if used before mission failure, he still had to accept a penalty, though it was half as severe as if it were used after failing.

"There’s still a chance!" Even if he would be punished by the Trojan, Tang Zheng would still attack Rogers. Having formed such a huge grudge, if he didn’t kill Rogers and let him escape, he wasn’t worried, but the other team members would be unlucky. After all, if Rogers was iron-hearted enough to attack them, no one could withstand him.

The Ancient Warlord and the Oz State Mighty Eagle, who was invisible, had been lurking nearby. Upon hearing Tang Zheng’s command, they immediately launched an attack.

The Mighty Eagle, like a meteor, smashed into Rogers, blasting open his SS-Class Shield that was already full of cracks from the two bosses’ attacks, then slammed into his body.

Tang Zheng, holding nothing back, fired four Moon Blades, chopping fiercely toward Rogers’ right arm. Even if he couldn’t secure the corpse, he intended to secure his Space Wristwatch.

Summoned by the Mother Empress’ Crystal Heart, Tang Zheng’s clone carried a Heavy Magnetostorm Rifle and sprayed gunfire in a wild charge.

The Meatball and the Charm Demon Girl were not to be outdone. The former unleashed a psychic tsunami, while the latter’s eyes blasted out Purifying Flame, igniting his body. Their claws, like blades, sliced through, leaving deep wounds across his chest, and blood spurted violently.

Dantai’s Ghost Bomb arrived as well. Fortunately for Rogers, being a Fourth-order, he wasn’t stunned and killed on the spot; Tang Zheng’s burst of combat power combined with the two bosses was almost enough to kill him instantly.

However, the American team leader held on. His shield burst with a dazzling radiance, invincible like the god Apollo in battle. This rare piece of equipment’s skill of absolute defense saved his life.

"Think you can trick me? Think again. I’ll settle this debt with you," Rogers bellowed in rage. Although not dead, he was bloodied and his Firefly Protective Clothing tattered, so weak he was nearly breathless. Just when he thought he was out of danger with half of his body vanishing, the Ancient Warlord, who had entered an invisible state earlier and was waiting nearby for a chance, burst out and delivered his thunderous strike.

In Hero Mode, the Warlord evolved, enabling the use of multiple weapons; he now gripped a war axe, swinging it with a gust, and chopped onto Rogers’ left arm.

With a sizzle, a severed hand attached to the Space Wristwatch fell into mid-air, causing Rogers great alarm. He reached for it, but was blocked by the Oz State Mighty Eagle and Tang Zheng’s clone.

"FU~CK!" Rogers teleported back to the room, his frustrated roar left echoing only on the rooftop.

Protected by Kawagawa Shingo, Asakura Sakura witnessed the entire process. She was both shocked and impressed by Tang Zheng’s tactics; the initial fierce attack was just to draw Rogers’ attention and breach his defenses, while the real trick was the invisible Warlord.

Once he dodged it and thought he was safe for a second before teleporting away, Rogers’ nerves relaxed slightly. Tang Zheng chose that moment to strike, misleading Rogers into thinking that his life was the target—and to focus his guard on vital areas, neglecting his wristwatch.

"Trojan, heal me," Rogers demanded upon returning to the room, immediately requesting body repair. His eyes bloodshot, he cursed Tang Zheng non-stop, hoping the others couldn’t kill the bosses and would use the Team Exemption Card, which would then subject them to severe penalties. But the next moment, his expression turned miserable; he’d lost big this time.

To be safe, Tang Zheng didn’t let the clone toss away Rogers’ severed hand but had the Oz State Mighty Eagle retrieve it and bring it back.

Teng Yuangxiang, watching enviously, knew that was the American team leader’s Wristwatch—definitely of high value. Tang Zheng had struck it rich this time.

"You guys handle the Charm Demon while I take on the Meatball!" Tang Zheng, with full firepower and shields up, bore the Meatball’s attacks in a frenzied assault.

The Charm Demon, being a summoned demon, would likely disappear if its master were killed, so Tang Zheng didn’t focus his energy on her.

With only four minutes left, the Red Trojan began the countdown but spared them from penalties.

Dantai breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that with Rogers using the Individual Exemption Card, he was no longer under the Trojan’s protection.

Tang Zheng overwhelmed the Meatball, rendering it powerless to fight back, but the Charm Demon Girl was on a killing spree; in a confrontation, her claws pierced through Sha Ou’s right chest. If it weren’t for Dantai Li Xinlan swinging her Vampire Curved knife to block for him, the man would have been dead, but now he was also gravely injured and out of combat capability.

"Everyone attack, no spectating. Teng Yuangxiang, Tao Tao!" Dantai bellowed, then after leaving two wounds on the Charm Demon Girl, got his arm caught and was brutally slammed to the ground. His hair caught fire soon after.

"Freeze." Dantai didn’t care, blocking the Charm Demon Girl rushing at Tang Zheng, while Ruan Feifei unleashed Lightning Bombardment.

Li Xinlan waved her hand, and frost immediately formed on Dantai’s hair, though his skin was still scorched.

The battle was too brutal. Teng Yuangxiang dared not get close, fearing death, and Tao Tao was similarly afraid but dared not disobey Dantai’s command. Worrying about her standing in the future, she screamed and leapt forward, only to be knocked down by Black Lightning a few steps later.

Even Rogers struggled against the Charm Demon Girl, let alone these Conquerors who hadn’t even activated their Third Order. If the Charm Demon hadn’t been injured, Dantai and the others would probably not have lasted five seconds before being overrun.

Li Xinlan saw Tang Zheng was about to be ambushed. Biting her lips, she rushed forward, and with a burst of power after flowering, the entire rooftop froze in the blink of an eye as if entering the Arctic—massive blocks of ice rose and smashed toward the Charm Demon Girl.

Dantai was once again kicked away. As a Psychic type, he was not good at melee combat. This feeling of powerlessness nearly drove him mad, and he hated his ineffectiveness.

The Charm Demon Girl spun on the spot, her bat wings fluttered, and countless light-spotted feathers shot out like arrows, massacring everything around her and blasting the ice wall to pieces.

"Meiqin, keep going," Tang Zheng took out a Demon Reagent and threw it to Pang Meiqin. At this moment, the best in close combat was the Beautiful Leg Stewardess. They could only rely on her to buy time.

Pang Meiqin had no complaints but felt a thrill instead. This was the first time Tang Zheng trusted her with such an important task.

The Beautiful Leg Stewardess caught the test tube filled with blue potion, pressed open the protective cap, and chugged it down. Worthy of an S-grade healing potion, the moment it hit her stomach, she felt a flame ignite, swiftly spreading through her limbs. Her wounds rapidly healed, her depleted life energy was replenished, and her condition returned to eighty percent.

Pang Meiqin exhaled deeply and shouted loudly, wielding the Demon Ripper to intercept the Charm Demon Girl and slashing furiously at her neck.

Seeing Pang Meiqin surpass himself in the boss fight, Dantai, who had a very strong pride, could not bear this situation. He roared and charged at the Charm Demon Girl once more.

The Charm Demon Girl knocked Pang Meiqin away and her claws pierced toward Dantai’s heart. The special agent dodged slightly but was still penetrated. Agony shot through his brain, and Dantai, gritting his teeth, instead grabbed the Charm Demon Girl’s arm.

Even if he were to die in battle, Dantai would not allow Pang Meiqin to outperform him.

Rip, the Charm Demon Girl’s right hand was torn out, in her grasp was Dantai Zongqi’s flesh and blood, along with his stark white breastbone. The intense pain stormed his brain like a hurricane.

"I don’t want to die!" Relying on his vast determination and unyielding spirit, strong enough to melt steel, Dantai struggled on, chopping at her neck.

The Charm Demon Girl’s blood sprayed wildly, her head slightly tilted. She reached for Dantai’s head, but luckily Pang Meiqin’s Ripper timely blocked, saving the special agent’s life.

"Burst forth!" Dantai bellowed, and under the stimulation of excruciating pain, he successfully burst forth, advancing to Third-order.

A flood of information immediately poured into his brain, skill upgrade!

"Soul Rage, burn to ashes!" Dantai’s eyes locked onto the Charm Demon Girl’s, and blue flames sprung up from nowhere, sweeping over the demon like a tidal wave.

For the first time, the Charm Demon Girl screamed in agony. These flames, attacking both body and soul, would never extinguish until the target was burned to ash. She screamed, biting toward Dantai’s neck.

"Death’s Touch, immobilize!" Dantai stretched out a finger and tapped on the Charm Demon’s forehead, her movements immediately slowed and then froze.

Pang Meiqin swung her sword, slicing through the Charm Demon Girl’s neck, a head flew up, and ice spears rose from the ground, piercing her body.

Li Xinlan slapped a First Aid Kit on Dantai, while Pang Meiqin was the first to dive toward the Corpse, ignoring the spoils of war as they were no longer needed.

At the same time, Tang Zheng burst the Corpse apart. Not only did the Steel Sky’s apex strike, but three summoned creatures also joined the attack, the Corpse’s Black Lightning hadn’t been released before its body was smashed into a mush, leaving behind two pieces of black equipment.

The countdown had one minute twenty-nine seconds remaining. Warhammer Group completed the mission, and those demons that escaped through the Teleportation Gate were not a concern, as Kirov was enough to annihilate them.

Asakura Sakura gathered the group members together, watching Tang Zheng anxiously, fearing they might start a fight.

"Drink this." Tang Zheng took out a Demon Reagent and threw it to Dantai—he was severely injured and might die. As for Sha Ou, naturally, he also tossed a bottle over.

"Not dying any time soon," Dantai reluctantly drank such a precious potion. "How are Yu Manli and the others doing? They haven’t been counter-killed, have they?"

Sha Ou was overwhelmed with gratitude, Tang Zheng’s generosity inspired him to a suicidal rush!

"Yu Manli isn’t that foolish!" Tang Zheng glanced at Aihara Chiharu, unlocking Rogers’s wristwatch.

Li Xinlan called Yu Manli, but sadly the Walkie-talkie was too noisy.

"Mission ends, two minutes until teleportation back to Trojan Room, survivors please prepare yourselves." The announcement from the Red Trojan Horse finally allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

"You guys rest; I’ll check on Old Xu and the others." Tang Zheng was still not at ease, it looked like there might have been an accident. (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, welcome to visit qidian.com to cast your vote or monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation.)
