Strongest Soldier King

The vast forest, dense canyon, the intense gunfire scared the birds and beasts into fleeing in all directions. Lan Xue was suppressed by the heavy barrage of bullets, unable to counterattack. She had no choice but to curl up as much as possible to minimize the risk of being hit. She couldn't fight back. At this moment, Ghost Hand and others opened fire again. A quick burst of three shots accurately brought down a few enemies, drawing a large amount of firepower away.

The pressure on Lan Xue drastically decreased; she tilted her ear toward the direction of incoming bullets, judging the position of the enemies. Suddenly, the gunfire ahead stopped. With suspicion, Lan Xue quickly peeked and then swiftly retracted for cover. With that glance, Lan Xue noticed Tang Tian hiding behind a big tree, leaving five or six bodies lying on the ground.

Concealed enemies are terrifying. Lan Xue knew the enemy was about to counterattack. She immediately made several hand gestures to everyone, signaling them to retreat at once, scatter, and engage independently. The enemy might try to encircle and flank. Staying meant waiting for death. When facing a strong enemy, one must not be negligent.

Lan Xue also prepared to leave the hiding point when suddenly, a voice filled with grief and anger echoed: "Bastards, you killed my second uncle, my last relative in the world. I will kill you for revenge, ah—dada-da-da!" The voice, filled with endless resentment, belonged to Tang Tian.

"You know the pain of losing a loved one too? And what about him? What did you do to him?" Lan Xue coldly shouted, stopping her immediate retreat, forcing herself to calm down while keeping her ears tuned for any sounds around, wary of sudden enemy sneak attacks.

"So it was you. I didn't expect you to track us here. I was careless." Tang Tian coldly shouted, filled with killing intent, nearly hysterically roaring, "You all go to hell, go underground and find him, I will kill you to avenge him."

Lan Xue was startled, suddenly thinking of something, her face changed drastically, and a sense of despair took over her mind. An icy killing aura ignited fiercely, like death fire from the depths of hell. Boundless rage erupted like a volcano, exploding around her, the air began to solidify, and a towering murderous aura soared into the sky.

"Kill—" Lan Xue's mind was instantly filled with hatred, letting out a hysterical roar, disregarding everything, rushing out from behind the tree, charging forward recklessly with no regard for the danger of being shot, the only motivation alive after losing her beloved was revenge.

The fire of revenge occupied all of Lan Xue's thoughts, her gaze icy cold like the chilling ice of hell, devoid of any emotion, her steps swift, cutting through the void with a shadow, charging forward like Death itself. Numerous bullets shot her way, but Lan Xue paid no heed, the gun in her hand continuously roaring, emitting the fire of revenge.

Ghost Hand and others had just left their cover, hearing Tang Tian's words, they also realized something, and one by one, they were instantly enraged, without hesitation turning back. Hearing Lan Xue's piercing roar, their anger was thoroughly ignited, charging forward without concern for cover, their minds had only one thought, revenge, revenge for Luo Zheng, even if it meant dying without regret.

"Puff puff puff!" The four charged and attacked recklessly from all angles, accurately shooting visible enemies down. They didn't even know how many bullets hit them, luckily the tight-fit suits blocked them, not fatal, but the pain was unbearable.

"Crazy, they're all crazy." Tang Tian didn't anticipate her one wrathful yell would send Lan Xue and others berserk, her face changed dramatically, thinking of Luo Zheng's toughness, then associating these people with Luo Zheng as a team, naturally they wouldn't be weak either, instantly panicking.

After all, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, though with extraordinary intelligence, her combat experience was limited. Provoking opponents on the battlefield was an unwise choice, unless intentional. Otherwise, it would only enhance the opponent's combat power, driving them mad. Her mind in chaos, she forgot to command, luckily with experienced personnel at hand, they immediately stood up to command, escorting Tang Tian to withdraw quickly.

Lan Xue and others chased all the way, eyes blood-red, disregarding everything, charging and attacking fiercely. After taking out a few left behind by Tang Tian as rear guard, Tang Tian was nowhere to be seen. Lan Xue was about to catch up, when suddenly she felt an overwhelming pain surge through her body. She almost stumbled and fell, quickly supporting herself on a nearby tree.

At this point, Ghost Hand and others also stopped, their bodies full of fresh blood, left from enemy bullet hits. If not for the protection of tight-fit suits, they'd be dead. Everyone felt physically weak and had to stop. Lan Xue coldly glanced at everyone, each bearing wounds, then looked into the depths of the forest, Tang Tian's trail had disappeared, gradually regaining her coolness, she said regretfully, "Clean up the battlefield, see if there's any medical supplies."

Everyone gritted their teeth, persevering, cleaning up the battlefield. They ensured the remaining alive were given a final shot. It wasn't long before they found some hemostatic powder and bandages in a backpack. They grouped together, helping each other extract bullets, apply hemostatic powder. Being a woman, Lan Xue was wounded in the front, inconvenient for others to assist her, she took the medical supplies and sat under the big tree for self-treatment.

Everyone tactfully looked away, Lan Xue frowned, using a Tiger Teeth army knife to cut open her clothes, extracting the bullet lodged in her muscle. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, it took a full five minutes to extract all the bullets, apply hemostatic powder, and she said, "Can someone help me bandage this?"

Although her clothing was bullet-riddled with holes, and further cut while extracting bullets, it still ensured modesty. Everyone looked toward Ghost Hand, who had no choice but to come over, squatting behind Lan Xue, wrapping her wound with bandages. Inevitably, thoughts of Luo Zheng surfaced in his mind, if Luo Zheng were here, he wouldn't have to do such awkward things.

Lan Xue's face was full of sorrow; Tang Tian's words made her lose hope, thinking of Luo Zheng's death made her feel on the verge of collapse. After bandaging Lan Xue, Ghost Hand, seeing her pallid face, suddenly thought of something and said, "Don't listen to Tang Tian's nonsense. I believe Ghost is not dead yet."

"But he's not here, and Tang Tian said it herself." Lan Xue said with certainty, her gaze becoming vacant, like a person without a soul.

"Even if he's dead, you must pull yourself together, avenge Ghost, never give up. Our lives belong to Ghost, we need you to lead us in revenge. Ghost, in the heavens, wouldn't want to see you like this." Ghost Hand said loudly, his gaze earnest, hoping Lan Xue would pull herself together.

"Captain, I'm sure Ghost is not dead." Mountain Eagle staggered over, his body also wrapped in numerous bandages, his face looking terrible.

"Don't comfort me, I'm fine, just want some quiet." Lan Xue said mechanically, her gaze empty.
