Chapter 105 - 97 Xiao Siyuan: "I didn’t even know this kid was so awesome!

Chapter 105: Chapter 97 Xiao Siyuan: "I didn’t even know this kid was so awesome!

"Puff!"

The long spear swung, smashing a bat and exploding into a dance of blood. Li Zheng didn’t dare to pause, changed the gun’s momentum, and pierced another bat to death.

Taking advantage and swinging, the bat’s corpse on the spear tip was flung away, killing another one upon impact.

"Refreshing!"

For the first time, Li Zheng wielded the long spear for such a long time, not feeling tired but rather invigorated.

"All the spear techniques the Memory Release Device brought now finally feel fully integrated with me."

Li Zheng’s eyes shone with excitement. His hands didn’t stop: stab, thrust, swing, fling—he employed several basic spear techniques to the extreme, with not a single superfluous movement.

Where the spear tip reached, bats fell one after another.

"Damn, is this kid on drugs?"

While treating Liu Jiale, Xiao Siyuan also watched Li Zheng’s performance in amazement, "So fierce!"

Relying on the flying device, Li Zheng ascended into the air, becoming the primary target for all the bats’ attacks.

Only the bats that truly couldn’t squeeze in would change targets and attack the duo of Liu Jiale and Xiao Siyuan.

"Shua!"

Liu Jiale swung his knife with his left hand, cleaving a bat in mid-air, then asking, "You haven’t seen him use spear art before?"

Not being familiar with Li Zheng and the others, he thought they all knew each other well.

Xiao Siyuan smiled bitterly, "Not to mention such powerful spear techniques, it’s just now that I realized he’s this formidable at close combat too."

A time not too distant...

Oh, just a couple of days ago, when he first met Li Zheng, the latter was severely injured, with fractured ribs almost penetrating his organs.

At the time, he thought Li Zheng was just an ordinary person.

Now it seems this kid hid his skills quite deeply back then.

Liu Jiale nodded slightly, casually swung another knife, and another careless bat died and dropped to the ground.

He glanced at Xiao Siyuan’s healing technique and asked, "Professional doctor?"

"Yes, I used to be a military doctor, mainly stationed at the border defense lines." Xiao Siyuan took pride in his identity and never concealed it.

Liu Jiale pondered aloud, "A military doctor from the border defense, surname Xiao..."

As if remembering something, his eyes widened abruptly, "Are you the survivor of that border conflict?!"

"..."

Xiao Siyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah."

Upon his confirmation, Liu Jiale immediately felt a sense of honor, "There are two kinds of people I admire the most in my life: those who can beat me and those who can protect me."

"You are the latter."

"Haha, then I’m honored."

After finishing treating Liu Jiale’s wounds, Xiao Siyuan paused and then looked up, "What about him?"

"..."

"Damn it!" Liu Jiale suddenly cursed, "This bastard got both."

Xiao Siyuan was a bit surprised, "I see your sword skill is quite fierce. Can’t you beat him?"

Liu Jiale moved his right hand, now largely recovered, took the Black Blade from his left hand, and suddenly turned and made several slashes.

Puff, puff...

A few bats fell to the ground.

"A year’s knife, a month’s staff, a lifetime’s spear."

Liu Jiale sheathed his sword and stood by, explaining, "I’ve only practiced my sword skill for five years, but Li Zheng’s spear technique... though they are just basic techniques, he has immersed himself in them for at least a decade."

He shook his head, "Speaking only in terms of close-combat techniques, without considering equipment disparity, I’m no match for him."

"I didn’t expect he’d be that robust."

Xiao Siyuan sighed, "No wonder he ranked first on the regional combat power list before it was split."

The combat power list was only opened during this regional merge, and Li Zheng was directly placed in fifth place.

The four above him were all players who had just split off.

Excluding those four, Li Zheng himself was the top combat power in channel 0000879.

By now, following the joint massacre of several people, bats were piling up more and more on the ground, forming a thick layer.

The thickest pile was around Ye Yuan, stacking nearly half a meter high in a circle.

The six-barrel Gatling was indeed a massive weapon for this kind of scenario; nearly half of the bats killed on the scene were thanks to Ye Yuan.

Because the bats attacking her area died the fastest, the number of bats assaulting her spot was also the highest.

The next was Li Zheng.

A silver-white long spear, like a dragon probing a river, danced in his hands with impermeable precision.

Relying on the flying device, Li Zheng killed from one end of the hall to the other, then back again.

With one man and one spear, he plowed through the bats in the air like a field of crops, several times over.

Zhan Zhouzhou wasn’t inferior either. The energy of the Silver Level light saber was already running low, yet she managed to recharge it while simultaneously facing an attack from over ten bats, without even letting them touch her hem.

The weakest link was Liu Jiale, as Li Zheng acted as a farmer plowing bats in the sky, causing most bats to follow him, chasing death like moths to a flame.

This resulted in Xiao Siyuan only able to kill less than fifty bats while treating him.

Bats were getting fewer, and those still attacking Liu Jiale were even scarcer.

Eventually, he leaned on the Black Blade, evaluating Li Zheng with Xiao Siyuan.

"Look at this spear strike, effortlessly and precisely executed. If there weren’t other bats around, I bet Li Zheng could have hit the bat’s eye with it."

"Then look at this one, swift and decisive during the swing, the spear tip neatly bisecting the bat at its waist, perfectly executed.

I bet this move, in another scenario, could serve as a circumcision for the bat."

"Eh? And look at this strike... oh, it’s a miss."

"No harm, at least the posture is cool, full marks for image!"

On the other side, Ye Yuan’s Gatling fire suddenly stopped, and the entire hall suddenly felt peaceful without the weapon’s noisy metal clashing.

The next moment, Ye Yuan’s scream echoed, "Help! I’m out of ammo!"

Li Zheng was drawn by this scream, glanced over there, and shouted, "Old Xiao!"

Xiao Siyuan had already pulled out an M4 before Li Zheng even spoke, aiming at the remaining bats above Ye Yuan and started shooting.

Liu Jiale kicked the back of his knife, charging out.

The Black Blade rolled upward, and he reached back, catching its rolling hilt.

In the next moment, Liu Jiale’s speed exploded to the extreme, transforming into a humanoid tiger, quickly reaching in front of Ye Yuan.

"Shua, shua, shua..."

The knife’s momentum suddenly became incredibly swift, as Liu Jiale abandoned his most familiar mode of attack. The thirty-pound Thick-Backed Black Knife danced in his hand into a flurry of blade shadows.

Yeah, the accuracy was appalling.

After all, he’s not adept at this kind of fast blade, naturally lacking precision.

In the air.

"Watch out!"

Zhan Zhouzhou, always watching the battlefield of Li Zheng and others, suddenly spoke up loud in reminder.

It was when Li Zheng got distracted by Ye Yuan’s side earlier, causing a momentary lapse in handling the spear, and two bats rushed into the gap, quickly approaching Li Zheng from behind with mouths open, revealing sharp fangs with an unusual sheen, aiming to bite at Li Zheng’s back.

"Hmm?"

Li Zheng realized too late, trailing his spear hand back to sweep, yet, it was too late.

"Puff, puff."

Two barely audible sounds of a knife piercing through fabric reached, and the bats were skewered through.

And this, wasn’t Li Zheng’s doing.
