Dragon God Temple Island, one side of the cable-stayed bridge.
Mad Blade, Fan Yi, Three Swords, and a dozen other Great Owls, led five hundred Mingtang disciples.
The group had been fighting their way forward, already capturing over ten strongholds in succession.
The disciples trained by Ye were indeed incredibly formidable.
These disciples were almost all young people in their twenties, full of fervor.
Since they charged out of Mingtang's gate, they had consecutively defeated a squad of Dragon Fortress Guards and a company of Raptor Mercenaries.
The power of faith was boundless.
The Mingtang disciples' faith in the Dragon King unleashed a combat power even Mad Blade hadn't anticipated.
Mad Blade genuinely liked these simple, passionate young men.
He refused to sacrifice lives when commanding operations.
Thus, it was always Mad Blade leading the charge with Fan Yi, Yi Long, and others.
Under the assaults of Mad Blade, Fan Yi, Yi Long, and Yan Wuxin,
the Raptor Mercenaries were continuously retreating.
Mad Blade and Fan Yi were, after all, Evil Dragon Soldier Kings.
As long as the King Sniper didn't intervene, nobody could suppress these two guys.
The five hundred Mingtang disciples personally experienced the brutal battle.
This had epoch-making significance for improving their military quality.
Without having been on the battlefield,
no matter how hard they trained normally, they could never become an elite force.
Mad Blade had personally seen Special Forces members who excelled in all five-event training,
get nauseous at the sight of corpses and become completely disoriented.
These people either collapsed on the ground or were so scared they wet their pants.
Although Mad Blade took great care, many of the five hundred Mingtang disciples were still dead or wounded.
Now, only over three hundred of them remained combat-effective.
However, from the winnowing, the remaining Mingtang disciples were all elites.
Across the cable-stayed bridge, fortifications had already been built.
Sandbags formed a semicircular fortress, with an HK33E heavy machine gun mounted in the middle.
The long ammunition belt from the heavy machine gun made one shiver with fear.
Mad Blade, dressed in a camouflage suit with face paint, looked all the more fierce and ferocious.
Fan Yi was right behind him.
His determined, handsome face was smeared with a lot of black soot.
Yet, his eyes were incredibly sharp, like a triangular military spike.
Three Swords and a few other Big Rascals were following closely behind Mad Blade and Fan Yi, maintaining a low profile.
On the cable-stayed bridge lay a couple of corpses, all Mingtang disciples.
One man was down at the bridgehead, groaning lowly, severely injured but not dead.
Mad Blade's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.
They had already charged once just now,
but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and they held the geographical advantage.
The Mingtang disciples simply couldn't get across.
"Damn it, if only the instructor were here, he would have a way."
"I hate doing these brain-draining tasks; you guys tell me how to get across?"
Mad Blade cursed and frowned, but his heart was thinking of Yang Fei.
Three Swords and the others were at a loss regarding military actions, looking at each other in confusion.
Yan Wuxin took a glance at the terrain.
"Maybe I can climb to a higher position and snipe their machine gunner?"
Mad Blade sighed.
"Lakin is nearby; as soon as you show your head, he'll blow it off."
"Just count how many brothers that bastard has killed."
Yan Wuxin fell silent, lowering his head.
Throughout this bloody battle, the Raptor Mercenaries were undeniably elite.
However, for many experts, the most terrifying was not the Raptor Mercenaries.
It was Lakin, known as the Golden Eye Reaper.
Lakin didn't fight alongside the Raptor Mercenaries.
But this man was like a reaper lurking in the jungle or by the riverbank.
His heavy sniper rifle was like the scythe of death.
Every time he struck, someone died by his hand.
This King Sniper, humiliated by Yang Fei,
showed his terrifying lethality and intimidation in this attack and defense battle.
Of the seven Martial Arts Experts killed, five were top-tier experts who had their heads blown off by Lakin.
Yan Wuxin was also a top-notch sniper.
But he had no way to suppress Lakin.
As everyone fell silent, Yi Long, who was in charge of covering the rear, suddenly appeared from behind the jungle.
He walked straight up to Mad Blade.
"Report, a platoon of Dragon Fortress Guards has rallied, about two hundred men."
"At this moment, they are pursuing us and are expected to arrive in fifteen minutes."
Mad Blade was startled, then cursed.
"These bastards are truly indestructible, relentless, like lingering spirits."
Three Swords showed concern.
"That means the enemy plans to encircle and annihilate us here."
"I bet as soon as the Dragon Fortress Guards block our retreat,
the Raptor Mercenary Corps on the other side will launch a full-scale assault."
"If that happens, we'll be attacked from both front and rear, which will be a big problem."
Mad Blade nodded and sighed.
"I know, but since we've fought our way to the Dragon God Hall, it's hard to just retreat."
"If Brother Fei were here, he would figure out a way."
Fan Yi observed the surroundings and spoke calmly.
"How about I take three people and swim across underwater?"
"Once we've taken out their machine gunners up close, you all charge across."
Mad Blade immediately refused: "No, Lakin must be hiding nearby; it's too dangerous."
Fan Yi looked at Mad Blade calmly: "Do we have any other choice?"
"I'm familiar with a sniper's attack patterns; it's better I take the risk than have others die needlessly."
Mad Blade was taken aback, then fell silent for a long while, finally sighed.
"Alright, just be very careful."
His large hand tightly gripped Fan Yi's.
Three Swords, holding a triangular military spike, stood behind Fan Yi.
"I'll go with Fan Yi."
Another man, a chief bodyguard named Wei Yue, also stepped forward.
"I'll go too."
Mad Blade nodded and exchanged a glance with Fan Yi.
"Alright, you guys set off. Yan Wuxin, be ready to cover and suppress Lakin at any moment."
Yan Wuxin agreed.
With Yang Fei absent, Mad Blade became the temporary commander.
Fan Yi, Three Swords, and Wei Yue, all holding military spikes, sneaked into the bushes by the riverbank, preparing to swim under the bridge.
On the east side of the cable-stayed bridge, a small slope was covered with lush tropical bushes.
Above the bushes, a few pink butterflies fluttered gracefully.
Not far away, a lizard poked its head out stealthily.
It stared curiously at the bushes with its bean-like eyes.
Lakin was lurking right there.
Lakin wasn't too satisfied with his combat achievements in this battle.
He didn't belong to the Raptor Mercenary Corps.
In fact, given Lakin's status,
he could live a good life without participating in such wars.
His other identity was a manager at the Damo Securities Exchange in New York.
People familiar with Lakin knew he was an avid member of several shooting clubs, with extraordinary spear technique.
But no one knew,
this seemingly gentle and amiable middle-aged man, who always wore a smile,
was the well-known King Sniper of the underworld, ranked sixth worldwide.
There was nothing Lakin could do; he simply loved sniping too much.
Ever since he touched a sniper rifle ten years ago, Lakin found his life's calling.
But, for him, target shooting, moving shooting, and even high-difficulty skeet shooting had become less challenging.
He liked killing!
