"Quick, let's go! We are no match for him!" Tang Feng, who had just stood up again, spat out blood. He wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "Zhuang Peng's strength must be at the Platinum Level. This arrow has put more pressure on me than facing Wang Chao did. Even though it's a distance of a thousand meters, they will be here soon. Move!"
Shen Zhitao looked over and saw that the Tang Dao had been shot with a Bone Arrow, creating a deep dent. If it weren't for Tang Feng's Bone Knife, which was also an exceptional item, he might have been pierced through the chest by that Bone Arrow. Shen Zhitao was taken aback; she never expected there could be someone with an upgrade speed comparable to Wang Chao!
In fact, he might even surpass Wang Chao. She couldn't tell if it was due to some fortuitous encounter or sheer talent!
"Haha. Now you want to leave? Isn't it a bit late?" Before anyone could react, a voice suddenly came from nearby, startling everyone. The Guards had already raised their guns, bullets chambered and ready to fire at Tang Feng or Shen Zhitao on command. But both Tang Feng and Shen Zhitao understood that above the Golden Level, one need not fear bullets.
It wasn't that bullets couldn't penetrate; it was that they could dodge bullets when fired and kill you in an instant! Of course, if one reached the Platinum Level or possessed Wang Chao's mutated abilities, they could indeed block bullets. Shen Zhitao didn't know that after cellular enhancement, even without forming a shield, Wang Chao could now withstand bullets due to his own strength.
"Not bad, you've gathered quite the team!" Zhuang Peng remarked. "Where's Wang Chao? Why isn't he here?"
Just as Tang Feng was about to speak, Shen Zhitao stepped forward and discreetly pulled Tang Feng aside before saying, "Wang Chao... when he first arrived in Jing City, he sacrificed himself while fighting a mutated monster..." Tang Feng didn't understand why Shen Zhitao said this but remained silent and nodded slightly. Upon hearing this, Zhuang Peng frowned.
"Dead?" Zhuang Peng said in confusion. "I didn't expect him to die so quickly. Back in Yucheng, I still had an account to settle with him. As for Gangzi's severed hand, I can only seek revenge on you all!" Just then, Gangzi led a group of about ten people running over, armed mostly with knives and swords; only two or three had guns. Compared to them, their equipment was indeed inferior.
However, among the Guards, only Shen Zhitao and Tang Feng were at the Golden Lower Level; everyone else was at the Silver Level. In contrast, Zhuang Peng was already at the lower tier of Platinum Level while Gangzi was at Golden Intermediate Level. Given this disparity in levels, if these two groups were to fight, the Guards would be at a disadvantage. But Shen Zhitao couldn't show any sign of this.
"Is that so? Haven't you heard the old saying?" Shen Zhitao smiled and said. "No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you still fear a kitchen knife. Besides, we are fully armed; perhaps you aren't afraid of bullets, but your men behind you certainly can't be invulnerable too! Moreover, it was Wang Chao who severed Gangzi's hand. Grudges have their origins; I don't care what past grievances you have; this is between you and Wang Chao!"
Zhuang Peng replied coldly, "It seems you all have helped quite a bit before." As he spoke, Zhuang Peng's repressed killing intent suddenly erupted forth. A powerful aura swept through the area; everyone present felt as if they were weighed down heavily regardless of whether they were friends or foes. Those of lower levels broke into cold sweats as their hands gripping weapons visibly trembled.
This was the crushing pressure of levels.
"I could kill everyone here without breaking a sweat!" Zhuang Peng said calmly.
Shen Zhitao felt a cold sweat trickle down her back. She was already very close to Zhuang Peng, facing him directly. She fixed her gaze on his bright white eyes and replied, "Do you think it's just us here? By the time you shot that arrow, our people were already surrounding you. If you dare to make a move, everyone here will become a ghost under the gun!"
"Perhaps you can escape, but your brothers here will never get out!" Shen Zhitao stared back at Zhuang Peng with unwavering confidence and composure, unaware that it was all an act. Hearing her words, Zhuang Peng burst into laughter and said, "You really think I would fall for that?"
Shen Zhitao blinked and replied, "If you don't believe me, you can try." With that, she sheathed the dagger she had been holding tightly and shrugged, saying seriously, "You are welcome to try."
Silence fell—a heavy silence. Within five minutes, not a sound was heard as everyone waited for Zhuang Peng's command: to fight or not to fight. Tang Feng's palms were sweaty as he gripped his Tang Dao. Just then, they heard footsteps coming from outside the street—steady and uniform. It was definitely not something lost; it was human. The quietness made the footsteps sound incredibly clear.
"If you still don't believe me, go ahead and make a move," Shen Zhitao continued.
Zhuang Peng's expression changed. He realized these could not be his people; they must belong to the ones in front of him. With this thought in mind, he shot a cold glance at everyone and ordered, "Retreat!"
Upon hearing Zhuang Peng's command, his men hesitated not at all and began to withdraw, with Zhuang Peng covering their retreat. Shen Zhitao let out a sigh of relief as she saw that indeed it was her people approaching. Leading them was the soldier who had brought her here; it seemed he had rushed to get reinforcements as soon as the arrow was shot. They must have come at full speed.
In just ten minutes, they covered a distance that usually took half an hour!
Zhuang Peng's group had vanished without a trace. Shen Zhitao turned and asked, "How is it? Is everything alright over there with Wang Chao?"
"Brother Qiang is watching over there; there's no problem," one of the soldiers replied.
Shen Zhitao nodded, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said, "That's good. Let's hurry back."
As soon as Shen Zhitao's words fell, a sudden chill swept through the air beside her. Before she could even see what it was, she felt a hand grasp her arm, and in an instant, that thing was lifted away. It was only at that moment that Shen Zhitao realized the one who had taken her away was Zhuang Peng, who had just left.
“Shen Zhitao!” By the time Tang Feng reacted, Zhuang Peng's figure was already far away.
All he could hear was Zhuang Peng's voice echoing back, “If you want to save her, have Wang Chao come find me!”
