Chapter 1269: Chapter 1267: Play With Me for a While!

“Oh?”

The words of the God of Assassins made Hao Jian feel like he was hearing the funniest joke in the world. His lips curled into a sneer as he fiddled with his fingers and mocked, “If I remember correctly, you so-called God of Assassins have been beaten by me thirteen times, and the God of Mercenary by your side has been beaten by me eight times.”

“What exactly gives you the courage to speak so grandly in front of me, to claim you can defeat the one standing before you, me, this…”

“God of Death!”

Just as Hao Jian’s words fell, a pitch-black figure suddenly appeared around him, and a voice echoed with a chilling intent.

With a slight look ahead, Hao Jian’s lips curved. The God of Mercenary and the God of Assassins had vanished there. His gaze suddenly darted thirty meters to the left, and he shook his head.

“Viper, your strength is still the same, unchanged!”

“Then try it!”

The voice echoed, but no shadow was seen. Suddenly, a gentle breeze came, causing Hao Jian’s pupils to contract sharply. He stomped the ground hard, shifting a meter to the right.

“You’re still so insidious.”

Where Hao Jian originally stood, a purple-green stain was emitting smoke. The nearby grass had turned black and eventually fell down, lifeless.

Venom!

The poison of the God of Assassins was said to be incurable, earning him the nickname Viper from Hao Jian. Each of his attacks carried this poison, like a snake—once bitten, there was no hope for recovery.

Moreover, being an assassin, he excelled at hiding in shadows, watching his prey from the darkness, resembling a cold-blooded snake.

“Hmph!”

With the attack unsuccessful, the God of Assassins snorted coldly and once again slipped into the shadows in front of Hao Jian. But just as he was about to dive into the shadows, Hao Jian suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Did you think I can’t counter your tricks?”

With a calm gaze, Hao Jian threw a punch. This time, he did not plan to play games with these people. He knew why he appeared here; it was because these two had targeted him, angering him!

Watching as Hao Jian’s fist enlarged in his pupils, the God of Assassins’ initially somewhat panicked face suddenly showed a trace of smugness.

But upon re-focusing on Hao Jian’s face, he noticed the mocking expression, causing his heart to sink.

“You think my target is you?”

Hao Jian chuckled, then his eyes turned cold. The fist initially aimed at the God of Assassin’s head turned in midair, swinging toward the air to his right.

“Boom!”

A violent and muffled sound came, and a grunt emanated from the seemingly empty space—someone had been hit!

“Mercenary, seems your skills haven’t improved either!”

Hao Jian laughed mockingly as the God of Mercenary’s figure was blasted out, his face flushed. Staring at Hao Jian, he spoke in a deep voice, “God of Death, it seems your skills haven’t improved much either!”

Before, for Hao Jian, the God of Mercenary and the God of Assassins could never coordinate successfully.

“Try and you’ll see.”

Instead of saying more, Hao Jian clapped his hands, tapped the ground with his toes, and distanced himself from the two—what was meant to be a demonstration of power had turned on them.

“You, deal with them.”

Glancing at his twenty subordinates, then at the God of Mercenary and the God of Assassins, Hao Jian shook his head internally. The over a thousand people needed to be dealt with by his subordinates.

“You should be able to handle it, right?”

With over a thousand people, Hao Jian couldn’t guarantee his subordinates’ safety. He needed to handle the God of Mercenary and the God of Assassins himself, leaving him unable to help them.

Furthermore, once the turmoil of over five thousand soldiers in the base settled, they would target here. At that point, they would face enemies all around, making escape nearly impossible—even for Hao Jian.

Therefore, this time it had to be a quick resolve, to open the base’s gate before those soldiers completed their task.

Only by opening this gate would reinforcements come!

“Boss, rest assured, we’ll handle these people!”

Tao Tao patted his chest, eager and without a trace of worry.

But as soon as he finished, Zou Jia spoke disdainfully, “Tao Tao, with your skills, you’ll likely be instantly killed by those Transformed People, right?”

Saying this, she ignored any of Tao Tao’s explanations and smiled at Hao Jian, “Boss, while you were away, we never slacked off. Let us show you our capabilities now.”

“Zou Jia, how could you put me down, I’m your man!”

Tao Tao looked helplessly at Zou Jia, but seeing him like this, Zou Jia merely gave him a stern look before turning to Hao Jian: “Oh, Boss, I wasn’t just talking about personal skills, but the team too!”

“Boom!”

As her voice fell, whether it was Tao Tao or others, they immediately dashed forward in unison, transforming into twenty streaks of various colors heading towards the thousand people.

Seeing the situation, Hao Jian grinned and nodded, “It seems you little brats haven’t been idle, so let me, as your leader, see how much your strength has grown, team?”

“Haha, your team’s strength must be formidable!”

As the laughter faded, Hao Jian turned his head back and looked at the God of Mercenary and God of Assassins, grinning, “Our subordinates have already made a move, so shouldn’t you show your real skills as well?”

“No need for probing, we’ve fought so many times, we all know each other’s strengths.”

For this battle, Hao Jian planned to leave both of them here, but before doing so, he also needed to stop their subordinates.

Allowing his own men to act first was also because he knew a fight was inevitable; if they had to fight, it was better for his side to strike first.

“God of Death, your mind is still as sharp as ever.”

The God of Mercenary crossed his arms, lowered his gaze, and sneered…

“Boom!”

The sneer barely ended when Hao Jian’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and an intense, oppressive wind pressure rushed at him. The next moment, an extremely dark silhouette appeared before him.

As the God of Mercenary made his move, the God of Assassins took this chance to hide in the shadows, waiting for the next opportunity to come, aiming to kill Hao Jian in one decisive strike!

“Bang!”

Reaching out to block, Hao Jian easily intercepted the God of Mercenary’s attack. However, he frowned slightly because his men were being obstructed as they clashed with the subordinates of the Transformed People and the three of them, bringing the scene to a deadlock.

“Tao Tao, Teng Wei, Evelyn!”

As Hao Jian frowned slightly, Zou Jia suddenly called out in a low voice, shouting the names of the three. Upon hearing, their eyes flickered, and they nodded to each other.

“Let’s begin, everyone! This shall be our stage!”

“Haha, I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

Teng Wei let out a loud laugh. As a scout, his eyes were absolutely sharp, and in front of them were eight aggressive Transformed People, whom he kept staring at intently.

“Three inches from the head, there’s a weak spot…”

“Boom!”

The words had barely fallen when Tao Tao slashed with a long knife at the weak spot of a Transformed Person, instantly slicing off half of its head.

“That one, an inch from the heart!”

The Transformed Person fell, and Teng Wei looked at another, speaking out. Zou Jia, who had been waiting for a long time, held a female match pistol and fired directly at the spot Tao Tao mentioned.

“Also, this one, both hands!”

As the words fell, Teng Wei stamped his foot on the ground and swiftly distanced himself. At the place he originally stood, a figure suddenly appeared.

“Hehehe, Teng Wei, long time no see.”

This was an extremely dark silhouette, even darker than the God of Mercenary.

“Viper, I recognized your scent ever since we met, didn’t expect you really had your eyes on me.”

Seeing the newcomer, Teng Wei chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly pointed behind the figure and laughed, “Viper, sorry.”

“What do you mean?!”

The figure hadn’t even realized what was happening when suddenly it felt a sharp pain in the chest, and a sharp long knife pierced through the chest, bringing with it a lot of blood.

“Teng Wei, have fun, leave these guys to us.”

As the figure fell powerlessly, Tao Tao withdrew the long knife from the man’s body, then hefted it onto his shoulder and laughed loudly, “Killing these brats is still more satisfying! Killing these Transformed People doesn’t give any thrill at all!”

“Get back into action immediately!”

Evelyn’s irritable voice sounded, scaring Tao Tao into dragging his long knife back into the fray.

“Not bad.”

In the distance, Hao Jian was a bit surprised to see his men suddenly become so competent, but after a slight flicker in his gaze, he shook his head.

With so many people, even if they just hold them off, it would be enough to wear them down, but by the time they’re worn out, he might have already dealt with the two of them.

“No, it must be…”

Hao Jian’s eyes grew increasingly determined. Finally, he looked at those two and chuckled, “My men are working so hard, so naturally, I can’t stay idle either.”

“Gentlemen, let’s have a good fight!”

“God of Death, you’re too arrogant!”

The God of Mercenary, hearing Hao Jian’s arrogant words, immediately looked displeased and growled, his body trembling. Countless parts were exposed from within his body, and as he waved his hand, a massive chopper with a patchwork appearance appeared in his hand.
