Sandy's mind went blank. When had Tyron returned? When had they discussed surrounding the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group? By the time he realized that Tyron might have betrayed them, it was already too late!

The Heavenly Kill Third Corps Commander had already started firing, and if Sandy hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been riddled with bullets!

"Kill these sons of bitches!"

"Attack!"

Instantly, chaos erupted as the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps clashed with the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group. As the death toll rose for the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, Sandy's anger intensified. "Aili, have you lost your damn mind? This is the enemy's plot!"

But the Heavenly Kill Third Corps Commander Aili responded with a volley of bullets, "Fuck your plot! Facts speak louder than words, this is all your Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps' conspiracy! Thinking of surrounding us? Want to wipe out our Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group in one fell swoop? Keep dreaming. If I don't turn this place upside down today, then I'm a coward!"

With that, Aili roared, "Men, annihilate these weaklings!"

Sandy was furious. "Fine, if you're so keen on starting a fight, then we, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, will see it through till the end!"

With that, Sandy also shouted, "Brothers, hit them hard!"

The battle was inevitable. Amidst the chaos, Tyron and the ten figures following him had vanished.

The surrounding underground forces were stunned; they hadn't expected the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps and the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group to actually start fighting! They watched the fray excitedly, with no one stepping forward to stop the melee.

"Who would have thought it would go this smoothly?" Ling Feng and his comrades hid nearby, watching the battle unfold. Chen Lei couldn't help but comment.

"There has always been irreconcilable conflict and even hatred between these people. Now, they've only paused the fighting temporarily because of mutual interests. However, the hatred in their hearts has not subsided; on the contrary, it's growing more intense," Ling Feng said solemnly. "Their relationship is like a fragile tower of blocks, precariously supported and ready to fall at the slightest disruption. Once someone breaks that balance, they will quickly be blinded by rage and descend into chaos."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This was truly the difference between a real army and a ragtag bunch. Like the bandits of the historical green forests, no matter how strong they were, they could never match an imperial army because they lacked strict discipline, unified command, and firm beliefs!

And it was the same with these seven underground forces – each harboring their own agendas, none of the organizations genuinely cooperated; instead, they distrusted and sabotaged each other. Such people, even a hundred thousand strong, would be easily defeated!

Of course, this was still troublesome and headache-inducing for the Dragon Valor Squad at the moment!

"It would be perfect if they could just wipe each other out!" Lin Wei added expectantly from the side.

"That's not possible," Wang Zhong replied. "They will stop when it reaches a certain point. After all, it's not just the two of them here; there are five other forces with their own schemes. They won't let their guard down!"

Ling Feng nodded in approval. Even if they didn't wipe each other out, at least it caused significant trouble for the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, which was a good outcome!

Indeed, as the number of casualties on both sides increased, although they each wished they could tear the other apart, they were also well aware that heavy losses would provide an opportunity for the other powers, so they gradually retreated while continuing to exchange fire.

"Alright, it's time for harsh words now!" Ling Feng looked at the situation and spoke indifferently, "There's no point in staying any longer. While everyone's attention is still on them, let's leave!"

Indeed, the tension between the members of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps and the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group gradually subsided, but Sandy and Aili's eyes were still filled with uncontrollable rage.

"We of the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group accept defeat today! But just you wait, the land does not turn but water flows, be careful or you might lose your heads walking at night!" Aili made a throat-slitting gesture towards Sandy.

Sandy disdainfully said, "I'm afraid you don't have the guts!"

...

Meanwhile, Ling Feng had already taken the opportunity to withdraw from the area while their aggression subsided.

"Let's head back now," Tyron said with a look of awe as he glanced at Ling Feng, never having imagined that Ling Feng's delicate appearance could conceal such audacity.

If they had been discovered, it surely would have been a certain death!

"Go back? Go back for what?" Ling Feng's lips curled into a cold, harsh smile. "I still have a big gift for the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps! Come, let's visit the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group's base. Their main forces should have already evacuated, and it's the perfect time to attack their vulnerable base!"

Tyron was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood Ling Feng's plan!

Frame and set up! If Tyron and his group seized the opportunity to strike at Sky Slaughter's base, the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group would definitely think it was the work of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps! Given their preexisting animosity, even if someone suspected something amiss, it was unlikely they'd sit down and peacefully resolve and explain the issue, meaning that if they really attacked the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps would definitely be blamed!

Tyron could imagine that the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps would become the target of collective hatred!

How ruthless! Tyron thought to himself.

As Ling Feng had expected, only a few members were guarding the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group's base, and under the attack from Ling Feng's group, they quickly subdued the opposition! Of course, under Ling Feng's deliberate direction, Tyron's familiar face once again appeared before everyone from the Sky Slaughter Mercenary Group.

"Don't linger in battle, be careful not to be surrounded!" Ling Feng calculated the time and felt it was about right to say, "Blow up their watchtower and we'll quickly retreat!"

With a loud bang, following an explosion, the smoke spread and Ling Feng's figures had already vanished!

When Aili and others returned to their camp, they found the base was already in ruins, smoke pervading everywhere, and signs of explosions all over!

"Who the hell can tell me what happened!" Aili shouted, his eyes wide and somewhat frenzied.

"Third Regimental Commander, we were set up by the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps!" a mercenary guarding the base shouted angrily: "After you left, we were attacked by the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, and the leader was that Tyron!"

"Are you sure it was him?"

"Absolutely, I'd recognize him even if he turned to ashes!"

Bang! Aili punched a wooden post next to him, splitting it in half.

"Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, to hell with your ancestors! I, Aili, swear not to rest until this vengeance is claimed! Also, big brother and second brother, since the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps dares to break the alliance, we of the Sky Slaughter aren't to be trifled with either!"
