Chapter 1367: Chapter 41 Shadow Strike_2

Other people also felt helpless at a loss. At this moment, they thought of Dantai Zongqi. If he were here, he could definitely use his psychic abilities to locate the enemy—a real trump card in team battles.

"Let’s retreat for now!" Mu Nianqi sighed. The Warhammer team didn’t have a psychic-type ability user, a fatal shortcoming. But complaining was useless, so she set her mind to work, considering tactics to eliminate the enemies.

The Conquerors didn’t move; they only obeyed Tang Zheng’s commands.

"Everyone get out, go find Baldy. Brother Lin, Sha Ou, you lead the way!" Tang Zheng didn’t let anyone down and quickly came up with a response strategy. Although letting Dong Zixuan and the female anchor fire at full force could drive the enemy out, it was too much of a waste of power.

The mission of the Warhammer team was to kill Baldy. Since they had already encountered the enemy and been exposed, it meant they couldn’t play the cuckoo (waiting to take advantage of others’ work), they might as well push through and see if there was a chance to get a share of the spoils. As for the enemy in front of them, it was alright to ignore them; they would either catch up to intercept, exposing their movements after numerous attacks, or they would stay put, posing no danger to the team.

The enemy was caught between a rock and a hard place. Of course, he couldn’t just let his targets walk away, or Group Leader Yan Chiyang would punish him. Moreover, it was also about whether the mission could be completed. There was no choice—he had to attack.

Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi alongside Qin Yan held the rear, forming a strong defense. The enemy was just a first-stage hero, his frequent shadow attacks couldn’t stay unnoticed.

"It’s to the right!" Tang Zheng swung his warhammer, shattering the shadow in front of him and hurling it away.

A Jelly-like substance moved across the ground and splattered when hit by the warhammer, Qin Yan disappeared, and in the next instant, she appeared below him, bursting like a blooming rose, randomly shooting energy gun stings.

The Jelly exploded, and an American man in his twenties emerged from the shadow behind Qin Yan, holding a curved knife, chopping towards her neck.

The man was wrapped in black tight-fitting clothing, leaving only a pair of snake-like eyes visible, exuding a sinister and icy aura all over.

Even as a first-stage hero, the Venomfang man couldn’t maintain part of a shadow indefinitely. Mu Nianqi and Tang Zheng struck like a whirlwind, delivering a fierce assault.

Venomfang man’s curved knife slashed Qin Yan’s neck without leaving a mark. Instead, the Magic Spear Thorn brushed his cheek, shocking him; his entire being immediately started melting into the shadows like Ice Cream.

Bai Guo was somewhat naturally stupid; otherwise, he could have stayed invisible in the dark and launched a surprise attack.

Qin Yan unfolded the Shadow Country because she had been the first to capture Venomfang man, so she didn’t lose her target this time and closely pursued. With a wave of her hand, energy gun stings attacked en masse.

"We’re in trouble!" Venomfang man feared these kinds of range abilities the most because the larger the battlefield, the greater his threat. But now he was restricted.

Having found the enemy, Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi’s powerful Firepower began to show effect, weighing on Venomfang man like Mount Tai, ready to collapse at any moment.

Countless shadow snakes rose from the ground and shot toward Qin Yan, exploding in a close encounter and clearing the surroundings in a shock wave. A black flame spread.

Qin Yan coughed up blood, but the Shadow Country absorbed the attack.

Tang Zheng shattered Venomfang man’s shadow form. Mu Nianqi’s Northern Wind Ring also wreaked havoc non-stop.

Venomfang man was toppled, and with similar abilities to the two fighters, the outcome of a one-on-one battle would have been uncertain. But now with assistance, he was at a disadvantage.

"He’s really resilient!" Mu Nianqi’s air blades tore through Venomfang man’s body, but in an instant, it reformed and continued to flee.

Tang Zheng caught up with Venomfang man, and when his warhammer hit, shadow snakes sprang from the ground, biting at his body. Then a shadow Python burst forth, coiling around him, opening its massive jaw and biting towards his head.

The snakes were blocked by the Shield. Tang Zheng swung his warhammer, smashing the Python’s head and plunging it into its mouth, blasting out a venomous fang.

"Lacking single-target breakthrough power!" Tang Zheng grumbled to himself. He lacked a powerful Sure Kill ability that could deal Heavy damage with a single strike. In such a situation, he felt somewhat powerless.

Tang Zheng, being a second-stage ability user, naturally drew the most attention from Venomfang. Seizing this opportunity, Mu Nianqi burst into action, utilizing an approach unlike her common tactics; her body suddenly displayed purple scales as sharp as knife blades. She spun herself rapidly, charging towards Venomfang with an extremely fierce momentum.

Venomfang dodged, but his body was still struck, spurting fresh blood. He didn’t pay it much heed and was about to merge into the shadows to retreat when the wound area suddenly crystallized. Blades emerged from the inside of his arm and kept growing, quickly spreading to his shoulder.

"Not good!" Venomfang felt a surge of unease. A black shadow knife appeared in his right hand, and he slashed at his shoulder, amputating the injured arm.

Mu Nianqi wouldn’t give her opponent any chance to recover. Whipping up a hurricane, she swept past Venomfang. His protective clothing cracked, and blood sprayed out as blades formed within his body, protruding outwards.

Venomfang tried to disintegrate, to enter a shadow state and distribute the damage, but he found his abilities restricted. His body was collapsing, the injury spreading.

Qin Yan performed a liquid phase teleportation, appearing below Venomfang. Her energy gun stings surged in size. He dodged, but the stings continued to grow and pursued him relentlessly. They penetrated his protective clothing and stabbed through the gaps.

"Explode!" The older sister’s command prompted the gun stings to detonate, delivering another heavy blow to Venomfang.

Tang Zheng broke free from the shadow python and teleported in front of Venomfang, striking his head so hard that his eyeballs nearly popped out. Venomfang tumbled like a torn sack.

Mu Nianqi dashed forward like a meteor, directly colliding with Venomfang. He shattered into shadows, nearly disappearing, but Queen Mu penetrated him right before he could vanish; the fragmented shadows reassembled. Venomfang lay on the ground, convulsing in agony.

Qin Yan was about to continue her assault but noticed crystallized blades continuously sprouting within Venomfang’s body, utterly destroying his organs. Seeing him gaping like a fish out of water, the older sister knew he was in excruciating pain, yet she still cast her magic gun, obliterating his head.

Venomfang jerked a few times and then died, but the crystallization didn’t stop; soon, he crumbled into a pile of dust.

"Are you alright?" Tang Zheng went to support Mu Nianqi, only to find her drenched in sweat, pale as if afflicted by serious illness.

"I’m fine, just need rest." Queen Mu trembled as she pulled out the sweet spring, but before she could drink, the bottle dropped.

With swift reflexes, Tang Zheng caught it and helped her take a sip.

"Thank you." Mu Nianqi exhaled, trying to push Tang Zheng away. She had never been this close to a man and felt uncomfortable.

"Are the aftereffects that severe?" Tang Zheng originally envied Mu Nianqi’s formidable attack power, but seeing her so weak that even a newbie could threaten her life, he felt somewhat dismayed.

"I wouldn’t have used my trump card if it weren’t for you and Qin Yan!" Mu Nianqi also had a trump card, but the cost of using it was too great, something she dared not use under normal circumstances.

Qin Yan and Tang Zheng tactfully refrained from prying further. The older sister handed Venomfang’s fallen space wristwatch to Tang Zheng, but the group leader shook his hand.

"Give it to her," Tang Zheng instructed as Qin Yan supported Mu Nianqi, and he picked up Venomfang’s communicator.

"Venomfang, how is it going on your side?" Yan Chiyang’s voice came through, steady and calm, "If you can’t beat them, let them come here, and I’ll clean them up."

Nuclear Flame was quite confident, ready to take on the entire Warhammer team on his own.

Tang Zheng sneered, about to say something to provoke him, to make him reveal a weakness, giving the alien species a chance. However, Yan Chiyang’s next words made him reconsider.

"A female alien species ran east. Go and kill her; she might be carrying..." Nuclear Flame paused, suddenly falling silent as he realized there was no response in the communicator, which normally would’ve come much earlier.

"He seems to be dealing with the final boss and still has the spare energy to notice such details?" Lu Fan arrived, inhaling deeply after hearing this and his face showed shock. (To be continued.
