Chapter 242: Fury Amid the Radiant Battlefield

“Retreat immediately!”

“What if they launch a nuclear strike!?”

“We must adjust our stance! Those filthy bastards are too despicable!”

Disagreement arose.

Dong Yefeng, who had been silent, unusually maintained his composure. With his flash ability, he was naturally the least injured from the strike.

Yet even so, he could feel his muscles beginning to numb as fresh blood continuously dripped from his nostrils.

This was the price of close proximity to intense radiation.

If he weren’t so robust, he feared his genetic chain might have already snapped.

Unlike the other five, who were either frenzied or terrified, he had no choice but to step forward.

He knew full well that another hit like that would kill them right here! Escaping now would still leave them a chance to turn the tables!

And besides…

Recalling the Youth from the China Squad, a strong murderous intent flared in Dong Yefeng’s eyes.

Such a method—so unlike the tactics previously seen in the Huaxia Battle Zone—undoubtedly meant someone was orchestrating from behind the scenes.

In his mind, identifying the enemy was more important than anything!

Yet his warnings went unheeded.

Now in a state of raging fury, Dahe Yicheng roared like an enraged beast. After shoving his intestines back into his torso with one hand, he charged off like a heavy tank, utterly disregarding his injuries.

The more grievous his wounds, the stronger his combat power—but it came at the cost of his sanity.

“I want them dead!”

“I’m going to slaughter him!!”

The ground trembled lightly.

In the cramped space among the flesh, only the distant command tent could be seen.

Seeing Dahe Yicheng lose control made Dong Yefeng’s face darken. The other Third-Stage fighters nearby promptly spoke up:

“Charge and kill them!”

“I don’t believe they have any other tricks up their sleeves!”

“If they did, they already used them in that last wave!”

“Dong Yefeng! Even if retreating now gives us a slim chance, if the enemy seizes control of the high ground, do you want us to be hunted like lab rats?”

“They’re hiding in the rear! Charging now might actually work in our favor!”

With their words dropping, all of them surged with spirit energy, following Dahe Yicheng as they dashed into the distance.

There were also six Third-Stage Mid-level fighters! They still held the advantage! As long as those scum pigs were found, they wouldn’t be any match for them!

Seeing everyone share the same resolve, Dong Yefeng braced himself and dashed out as well.

But in an instant, he suddenly glanced back toward an electrical substation to the east.

“Hold up!”

“They’re over there! Right behind us!”

Examining the concealed talisman in his hand, Yenir raised an eyebrow in surprise.

They had been discovered?

This guy’s perception was something else…

He had deliberately set up two command posts to mislead the enemy. Their real position was behind the opposition—he had led the China Squad on a detour just now.

Who would have thought that with the talisman’s effect, they were spotted before even reaching a hundred meters.

Was the device’s effect too weak…?

Yenir frowned and glanced at the blank sheet in his hand. He had acquired this thing from the national treasury. With a blue rating, it could mask the movements of up to thirty people and provide illusionary camouflage. It was one of the methods he’d prepared.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

Stepping directly out from behind the building, Yenir met Dong Yefeng’s gaze in calm determination.

He had planned to close within a hundred meters and then unleash the Sword Breath Torrent to take out several enemies. But now that they had been spotted, it wasn’t a major issue.

In that instant, Dahe Yicheng, who had been charging wildly, abruptly turned around, his eyes bloodshot as he bellowed at Yenir and the others.

But under Dong Yefeng’s timely intervention, the frenzied beast panted heavily, fixated on them with murderous intent.

At that moment, the flat electromagnetic highway seemed to fall into a brief, eerie silence.

On one side, the China Squad’s members, their expressions darkened as they realized they had been exposed; on the other, six blood-soaked yet formidable Third-Stage Mid-level fighters.

The gap between them strangely remained over a hundred meters.

“Yenir! Since we’ve been exposed, let me lead the charge!”

“You wait for your chance—see if you can take out a few of them in a flash!”

“If things get dangerous, forget about us!”

Realizing this was the final decisive moment, Ming Luo’s voice trembled urgently as he spoke in a low, rapid tone. The rest of the team gripped their weapons tighter, their fighting spirit ignited.

No one replied.

Yenir coldly observed the Third-Stage fighters who had now assumed battle stances and then scattered. A hint of doubt flickered in his mind.

Something wasn’t right.

Before he could ponder further, Dahe Yicheng—whose half his body had been blasted to pieces—suddenly radiated a burst of earth-toned light. His massive frame swelled even larger. Meanwhile, on the other side, Dong Yefeng vanished from sight, entering a stealth mode.

“Kill!!”

The battle was about to erupt.

Without any pre-fight chatter, dazzling streaks of spirit energy shot out from the opposing long-range units.

At the same time, Yenir surged forward first, his newly upgraded Ghost Shadow Combat Boots amplifying his attributes, propelling him forward at a speed comparable to a mid-level fighter.

Fight on! After taking out a few opponents in a flash, he would be just testing his regular combat prowess!

The distance rapidly closed.

Calculating angles in a split second, Yenir didn’t hesitate to prepare his Sky Rift Radiance.

For the scattered enemies, he chose to eliminate the two ranged attackers first!

However, almost as soon as his intent was formed, a bizarre teleportation force suddenly enveloped him.

In an instant, Yenir’s vision blurred, and what had appeared to be Dahe Yicheng charging toward Ming Luo and the others all abruptly turned and lunged back in retreat.

What was that!?

His pupils contracted sharply.

Thanks to his strong will, as Yenir regained his senses he was astonished to find himself right in the midst of the enemy! The China Squad had already been separated from him!

Relocation teleport!?

He had been directly swapped in position!

All over his body, a restraining force surged. Under the enemy’s hidden stratagem, he was paralyzed at the moment of the swap.

“You little bastard! Do you really think we don’t know your abilities!?”

Locking eyes with him, Yenir felt six simultaneous waves of murderous intent rushing his way, each pore on his body stinging painfully.

Before him, a Third-Stage Mid-level Awakener, clutching a gemstone, sneered viciously as a jet of black light fired off.

“Slay this brat!”

“He’s Yenir!!!”

“Damn swine! Die already!!”

A hundred meters away, Ming Luo, who was about to engage, felt his eyes almost burst as terror surged in his heart.

In his view, six beams of spirit energy—capable of instantly obliterating any Third-Stage Beginner—closed in on Yenir!

The enemy was playing a trick. They were ignoring the others! These Awakener from the Japanese and Korean Battle Zones had only one target: Yenir! They had discovered his identity!

“Yenir!!!”

“Run!!”
