Chapter 1263: Chapter 17: The Sudden Death

"Be careful, next time activate your shield in time!" Gu Xueqi shot a phoenix onto Jing Xiang’s wound to stop the bleeding and heal her.

"Yes!" Jing Jingxiang nodded frantically. Although Tang Zheng had trained her, her aptitude was too poor, and she couldn’t learn properly; this woman was simply not cut out for killing.

The skeleton group was knocked down by the cavalry charge, and now they were regrouping. Behind them, the cavalry formed up, ready for another charge, and white dense fog appeared, coalescing into even more cavalry. The war horses neighed, their momentum overwhelming.

"Everyone activate your shields, keep charging, don’t stop!" Tang Zheng’s eyebrows were so furrowed they could almost kill a crab. He felt something was off within the team’s atmosphere, growing more tense by the moment.

He took out the Fenglin Huoshan Army Equipment and swung it behind him, summoning a host of Kai Cavalry as if stepping out from an ancient battlefield, ready in tight formation. Lacking distance to charge, they drew their Bronze Cannons from their backs and unleashed a dense barrage.

Being spirits themselves, the bullets had lethal effects. The ghost cavalry charged like a tide hitting a reef, toppling in masses.

The battle situation didn’t turn around; this time, what emerged from the ground weren’t skeleton soldiers but two-meter-tall heavy-armor knights wielding flails and warhammers, brutally initiating a massacre.

In the crisis, several Conquerors burst forth with all their might, narrowly catching the offensive. However, the battle became even more chaotic.

"How come with more people in the team, our offensive power feels weaker?" Lin Weiguo was depressed. The skeleton group’s vitality was even more exuberant than spring leeks, getting cut down only to spring back again and again. Plus, some teammates were not pulling their weight, like Shen Qingshuang, who was clearly holding back.

"Stop being sly, give it your all!" Tang Zheng shouted, and the team finally erupted for a moment. Sadly, in less than ten seconds, they fizzled out again. It was a vicious cycle, as no one wanted to risk their life for others. One person slacking off could cause discontent among the rest, leading them to follow suit.

The trouble didn’t end there; as the sky grew darker, fog rose in the forest, rapidly reducing visibility until they could only see within a five or six-meter radius.

"This way!" Following Wild Cat’s guidance, Tang Zheng led the way, but the main body of the group couldn’t keep up, and curses from Ruan Feifei were heard.

A male university student close to the female broadcaster suddenly turned violent, swinging a short sword he’d picked up from the Giant’s Cave at her neck.

The Light Defense Shield had a cooldown time, and for the strong Ruan Feifei, there was no danger even without it activated; she never expected to be attacked by her own team. If her reflexes hadn’t been quick, her head would have been severed.

"Have you lost your mind?" Ruan Feifei kicked the university student in the stomach. If not for worrying about Tang Zheng’s blame, she would have killed him as an example, even at the cost of a thousand points.

"Looking to die?" Teng Yuangxiang didn’t tease the female broadcaster for once. An enemy’s enemy was a friend. As another isolated woman, Teng Little Three sided with Ruan Feifei, trying to take the opportunity to make nice.

"It’s you selfish lot I’m chopping!" Five university students suddenly roared and lunged at Teng Yuangxiang, swinging their knives violently.

"Have you gone mad?" Tao Tao exclaimed in shock, crying out loud.

These university students had brought weapons from the cave. With the Conquerors fighting the skeletons on the outskirts, they hid inside the group, making it possible for them to attack Teng Yuangxiang and Ruan Feifei without hindrance.

"What’s happening?" Some university students were anxious, not knowing what to do, while others joined the fray. Jing Xiang and Song Xin got caught in the crossfire and were surrounded and slashed.

Song Xin’s equipment wasn’t good, and she was cut and bleeding soon. As it was infighting, Dantai, Li Xinlan, and others reacted half a beat too slow.

Tao Ran rushed to Song Xin’s side and activated Trembling Witch. A semi-transparent, half-moon-shaped Shield appeared within a two-meter radius around them, shielding them. The attacking blades seemed to hit butter, slowing down and deviating from vital spots.

A meter-long black space-time fish appeared, circling around Tao Ran, ready to strike at any moment.

"You’re asking for it!" Ruan Feifei, furious, swung her hand, and a blue electric arc shot out, hitting a university student’s head, knocking him out cold. She held back from killing, but the others couldn’t tell.

"You really would kill, wouldn’t you?" Teng Yuangxiang muttered, and the university students were completely enraged, far from retreating, and even more lunged forward.

Ruan Feifei unleashed lightning attacks, hitting three students consecutively in an attempt to intimidate them. Distracted, the skeletons broke through their defenses and rushed in, nearly causing their formation to collapse.

"Kill these selfish wretches, let’s not be cannon fodder!" One of Zhang Chun’en’s bodyguards exploded in rage, suddenly screaming out and pouncing on Teng Yuangxiang, locking her throat from behind, attempting to twist her neck.

"Die!" Teng Little Three, shocked and angry, released her ability, altering the bodyguard’s memory and turning him into a puppet, using him as a meat shield to withstand other students’ attacks.

"Ruan Feifei, Teng Yuangxiang, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. You’re the pests within the team. I’m going to clean house on behalf of the Group Leader!" Shen Qingshuang suddenly shouted angrily, taking out her Heavy Gravity Gun and blasting at Teng Yuangxiang.

"You’re insane!" Teng Yuangxiang wouldn’t just take a hit without retaliating. She activated her Defense Shield, ordering the bodyguard to fight for her.

"Uncle Shen, I’ll help you!" An Feihu roared, firing a barrage from his Gatling at Ruan Feifei.

Shen Qingshuang openly blamed the anchorwoman, causing the Conquerors to freeze in astonishment. While there were internal conflicts within the team, they had never surfaced, and the sudden eruption of such an intense conflict left them unsure how to react.

Of course, many looked down on Teng Little Three and the anchorwoman, and actually wished for their deaths.

"What are you doing? Stop fighting!" Due to the dense fog, Tang Zheng, who was very powerful, had already sprinted over forty meters and had no idea what had happened behind him.

"What are you doing? Stop it right now!" Tao Tao, sweating profusely with urgency, tried to stop them.

Tao Ran saw Xu Liangmao stealthily approach Tao Tao from behind, then suddenly burst into action, savagely attacking her.

"Be careful!" Tao Ran’s warning came too late.

Xu Liangmao, having undergone beastification like a brown bear, locked both hands around Tao Tao’s neck. The veins bulging, he exerted his full strength and, with a snap, twisted her head 180 degrees.

Tao Tao’s response was too slow. Despite her grievous injury, she managed to liquefy successfully, turning her entire neck into liquid. However, Xu Liangmao didn’t cease his attack. His right hand, transformed into a beast claw, viciously stabbed into Tao Tao’s back.

Thud—Tao Tao was pierced through, spitting out a large amount of blood. She tried to liquefy, but Xu Liangmao tore her apart with both hands, ripping her into two pieces.

Blood mixed with viscera poured onto the ground, and Xu Liangmao threw the corpse at Tao Ran as he pounced on Teng Yuangxiang.

"Tang Zheng, save me! Xu Liangmao killed Tao Tao!" Teng Yuangxiang was terrified and broke into a run. She was no match for Xu Liangmao.

"Did I hear that right?" Lin Weiguo was shocked and alarmed!

"Stop fighting, Brother Lin, hold on!" Tang Zheng turned back, trying to stop the conflict.

Pang Meiqin and Xu Biyun were stunned. Xu Liangmao’s sudden murder was completely unexpected. However, thinking about it, it made sense - the miserable man was undyingly loyal to Tang Zheng. Cleaning up the team’s trash for him wasn’t impossible.

Considering Xu Liangmao’s position on Tang Zheng’s side, the Conquerors didn’t help either party and decided to coldly observe from the sidelines.

"Die!" Ruan Feifei’s eyes narrowed. She wasn’t the kind of woman who just waited to be killed. She waved her right hand, unleashing her full power to release a thick blue lightning bolt, which roared and struck An Fei on the head.

For someone without a Defense Shield, such an attack was enough to be fatal, especially since An Fei’s ability was from the Shooting series, making his defense miserably weak.

An Fei, stunned by the electricity, his body charred, hadn’t recovered when the anchorwoman fired her gun, blowing his head off.

The headless corpse, propelled by momentum, stumbled a few more steps before collapsing dead, with brain pulp splattering onto the nearby students, scaring them into retreating with horror.

The bodyguard puppet controlled by Teng Yuangxiang entangled Shen Qingshuang. The anchorwoman continued to shoot to suppress him while constantly firing lightning bolts, pushing his Light Defense Shield to its shaky limits.

Shen Qingshuang was cunning. He killed the bodyguard puppet and attempted to blend into the crowd. One bodyguard, seeing his colleague’s death, nearly lost control and attacked Shen Qingshuang.

"Don’t be impulsive; he’s not going to last much longer." Another quickly held him back.

If she was going to kill, she had to eliminate the root. Ruan Feifei’s pride wouldn’t allow those who had offended her to live comfortably. Hearing Tang Zheng’s order to stop, she knew she had to act fast before he could interfere.

"Stop!" Li Xinlan started shooting, her Heavy Insect Gun firing green light orbs. Continuous hits battered the anchorwoman’s Defense Shield to the brink of collapse.

"You’re helping him too?" The anchorwoman was a bit scared, as Li Xinlan had connections to Tang Zheng, making her wary.

"You’re mistaken. Apologize to Qingshuang!" Li Xinlan said coldly, not allowing the anchorwoman any chance to retort.

Shen Qingshuang revealed a mocking smile, hiding behind Li Xinlan. He did not stop attacking, even drawing other Conquerors into the fight. Apart from a few trying to break up the battle, the rest aimed their guns at Ruan Feifei, fingers nearly pulling the triggers.

"I did nothing wrong. It was him who attacked me first. Why should I apologize?" Seeing Shen Qingshuang’s infuriating expression, Ruan Feifei was nearly fuming with anger. The hostility from the surrounding Conquerors made her feel isolated and deeply despondent, which sparked unending fury in her heart!

"I won’t accept this. Shen Qingshuang, you must die today!" Emotional fluctuations and reckless courage finally made Ruan Feifei successfully burst seed.

"Stop it!" Tang Zheng heard the anchorwoman’s roar, but the heavily armored knights, sturdy as canned food, blocked him, preventing him from stopping the team conflict in time.

Ruan Feifei, surrounded by a blood-red mist, surged in power. Like a whirlwind, she made three zigzag moves, dodged past Li Xinlan, brushed by, landed beside Shen Qingshuang, took the Heavy Gravity Gun shots on her body, and reached for his head with her right hand, crackling with electric arcs.
