Chapter 974: Unable to Suppress the Fire
The Three Swords let out a slight sigh.
"I just recognized that the leading captain is Qin Feng. That's when I realized this group of guys got together again."
Mad Blade said flatly, "These people are well-trained, work together seamlessly, and strike viciously with a military demeanor. They're not simple."
The Three Swords nodded, "You're right, the Shiying Squad is indeed formed by elite soldiers."
"Over a decade ago, a major event occurred within the Huaxia Military—one highly decorated general suddenly defected and fled the country."
"This guy was a big deal. After his defection, he caused quite an impact on the Huaxia Military."
"In the years following his defection, the general's former subordinates were either persuaded to retire or forcibly discharged."
"Among these veterans, the most famous was King Wuxiang, Zhong Xiang."
"He led a group of comrades and stirred up a bloody storm in the Underworld."
"It's said that Zhong Xiang's strength back then surpassed even that of the Demon Emperor and Sword Emperor."
"The Shiying Squad that he established single-handedly also surpassed the SSS-rated Special Forces in terms of strength."
"Their combat methods were different from ordinary Underground Forces. They not only excelled in martial arts but were also experts with firearms."
"These people would plan meticulously before taking action; their attacks were as furious as a thunderstorm, nearly unstoppable."
"Later, for some unknown reason, King Wuxiang actually defected to the Demon Emperor."
"Afterwards, King Wuxiang was captured by the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions and imprisoned, and his Shiying Squad disbanded and vanished without a trace."
Long Xia, Mad Blade, and Fan Yi exchanged glances.
Mad Blade couldn't help but blurt out.
"Now that the Shiying Squad has regrouped, does this mean King Wuxiang has reemerged?"
The Three Swords let out a long sigh.
"I'm afraid so. We must report this to Brother Fei immediately and let him decide."
"The strength of the Shiying Squad is definitely not inferior to that of the Changfeng Squad."
Mad Blade looked at the dark CITIC Bank Building and gritted his teeth.
"When paths cross, the braver one wins. I'll just keep sparring with the Shiying Squad. The mission continues."
The Three Swords' expression turned grave, "We might not be able to break through the Shiying Squad's defenses, but neither can they easily pin us down."
"Brother Fei's order is to harass the enemy, not to fight to the death. Everyone remember that."
Long Xia and the others nodded in unison, as if their entire beings were ignited with flames.
The power of the Shiying Squad completely fired up everyone's fighting spirit.
Mad Blade laughed heartily, "Rogues, we're professionals. What do you say?"
The members of the Changfeng Squad laughed.
The group stealthily made their way towards the headquarters of the CITIC Bank Building.
Yang Fei received Mad Blade's report and was somewhat surprised.
"Damn, there's actually such a thing."
"This King Wuxiang just got out of Prison 741 and already started causing trouble. Truly not a good person."
Yang Fei originally didn't take the security forces of CITIC Bank seriously.
However, upon hearing that the opponent was actually King Wuxiang, he couldn't sit still.
He ordered Wei Chengwu to protect Chen Ke, Si Ruoxi, and Xu Zhiqing, the three women.
He then hurriedly rushed towards the CITIC Bank Building.
At the Bank Tower, the Shiying Squad was utterly exhausted by the incessant harassment tactics of the Changfeng Squad.
Everyone's tempers flared with frustration.
A new round of skirmishes had ended.
Qin Feng of the Shiying Squad watched as the bunch from the Changfeng Squad scrambled and fled into the darkness outside the building.
He was so angry his eyes were on fire.
Qin Feng was an experienced soldier who had faced countless formidable armed forces while in Special Combat sequences.
Yet he'd never encountered such a gang of scoundrels and ruffians.
This group had launched over twenty attacks on the Bank Tower during this quiet night.
Their despicable tactics turned what should've been a grand, iron-blooded face-off of experts into an indecent farce.
Qin Feng's Shiying Squad seemed like a dignified, enticing noblewoman.
The noblewoman met the vilest, most irritating of rogues and was constantly teased and harassed.
And this rogue wasn't just one but an entire group.
One rogue was scary enough, let alone an entire group.
These guys would feign death after taking a punch, then attack once you let your guard down.
They resorted to underhanded tactics, setting traps one after another, each more despicable than the last.
Their shameless and detestable method of operation was enough to make one cry in frustration.
The tricks of building simple facades while secretly crossing through the dark were mere basic strategies; taunting combined with the Overlord would forcefully pushing through was at least up to standard.
As for casually lifting a hand to snatch, counter-attacking from afar, rushing forward en masse, Black Tiger Heart Pluck, Old Tree Entwined Roots, and Monkey Steals Peach—all were impossible to guard against.
When gaining an advantage, they'd swarm in; when losing, they'd flee in panic, leaving chaos in their wake.
These cowardly types would surrender with a glare, while when fierce, they'd go down fighting, taking a bite out of someone in death.
After causing havoc for most of the night, even with their top-notch skills and abundant experience, the Shiying Squad suffered significantly at the hands of the Changfeng Squad.
Many squad members were injured.
Their injuries were in areas too embarrassing to admit.
Many weren't kicked in their groins or had their genitals grabbed.
As for those clutching their butts grimacing in pain, it goes without saying they suffered shameful assaults.
Qin Feng, angered to the point of teeth grinding, once ordered the squad to attack and wipe out the hidden bastards in the dark with one fell swoop.
But Qin Feng quickly realized that his order was incredibly foolish.
Inside the Bank Tower's corridors, at least there were flickering lamps casting light, plainly visible.
Although handling was tricky, the enemy was at least stalled at wavering.
But once beyond the building's bounds, it immediately became the enemy's turf.
The entire night turned into their accomplice.
The five-person team dispatched by Qin Feng vanished after springing into the shadows, never to return.
They didn't even manage to send a distress signal before disappearing like stones sinking into the sea.
Qin Feng felt the seemingly endless night dragging on interminably, each second feeling as long as a reincarnation.
At this moment, Yang Fei arrived.
The arrival of Yang Fei filled the rabble of scoundrels with uncontrollable delight.
When it came to underhandedness and roguishness, this fellow was truly the ultimate expert.
With him in the field, even the real King Wuxiang wouldn't intimidate the Changfeng Squad.
Yang Fei cast a deliberately composed glance at the elated ruffians.
"Well, did you have enough fun? Shall we have another good round of fun?"
Mad Blade called out, "Alright, let's have a blast with the Chief Instructor."
The rabble cheered, and Yang Fei clicked his fingers, leading the team into the CITIC Bank Building.
Qin Feng gathered his subordinates, advising them to use cautious tactics, holding their ground until daylight.
A man in his thirties held his crotch, face full of resentment.
"That bunch of bastards, I want to go all out every time I see them; they're so damn insidious."
The other Shiying Squad members started clamoring as well;
"Yeah, these guys are no good; if I had an AK, I'd have mowed them down in no time."
"Too much like rogue scum, it's shocking that this group of scoundrels is actually the famous Changfeng Squad, I spit at that!"
"If I catch the punk who jabbed my ass, I'll shove a Wolf Fang Club up theirs!"
...
With the squad members barely containing their anger, Qin Feng grew increasingly worried.
