Chapter 7: The Evil of Antiquity Comes

In the moment Wang Lei was distracted, a black-clad warrior lunged forward with a thrust of his spear

If the opponent truly breaks through the defenses, both he and Zhang Cheng will surely die today. Wang Lei has not yet had the chance to deal with the last black-clad warrior, and two other groups of black-clad warriors have already rushed in, blocking his path forward. The six brothers who followed him were unexpectedly annihilated in a very short time, leaving not a single one behind.

A black-clad warrior charged forward, shaking his spear, with the tip aimed directly at Wang Lei's face

Zhao Lan, feeling helpless, could only offer words of comfort

Zhao Lan saw seven people rush out from the left side of the hillside, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart. It is easy to dodge a direct attack, but difficult to guard against a hidden one. He was not afraid of the enemy appearing in front of him; rather, he feared not knowing where the enemy was hiding. He once again ordered the black-clad warriors to be vigilant and to protect Zhang Cheng.

Zhao Lan observed Dian Wei advancing continuously, his expression dark and filled with concern

Six individuals faced two groups of black-clad warriors, and in just a moment, someone had already sustained serious injuries

The large gun pierced through the air, accompanied by a piercing whistle, heading straight for Dian Wei

In his hands, two large iron halberds flew up and down, clashing against the spear with a ringing sound. In the blink of an eye, with all his might, he found a slight opening and charged to the position where Wang Lei was located. Wang Lei and the black-faced man were surrounded by warriors, unable to advance. Directly in front of the two of them were two rows of spear-wielding warriors, with black-clad warriors on both sides and behind them.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up

Its speed and ferocity are no less than that of a black-faced giant.

The other two black-clad warriors were momentarily stunned by the sight.

A tremendous force struck the gun barrel, directly splitting it apart and sending it flying away

Wang Lei was besieged by three black-clad warriors in a formation of gunfire. He wielded his long knife in continuous attacks, but the three opponents moved as one, making it difficult to break through. As a result, while Wang Lei was able to protect himself, he could not penetrate the defense formed by the trio. Although Wang Lei had a solid foundation, the six brothers he brought along were not up to par. These six individuals were mere street thugs from Ye County; they could handle brawls but were far from capable in the brutalities of the battlefield.

Zhao Lan immediately changed his strategy against the enemy, leaving two people to protect Zhang Cheng and himself, while the remaining black-clad warriors were divided into three groups to intercept Wang Lei and the six brothers beside him

At a critical moment in his sprint, Wang Lei suddenly accelerated, dodging the black-clad warrior's spear. He swung the steel knife in his hand, and under the golden sunlight, a chilling flash of blade appeared in the air, leaving a bloody mark on the warrior's neck. With a splatter, the wound appeared, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering Wang Lei's face and the book.

Dian Wei let out a fierce roar and charged forward.

It has finally come out

"Up, three people in a group, surround and attack!"

Zhao Lan let out a loud roar, and the large gun in his hand was suddenly thrown out.

Get out of my way, those who obstruct me shall die

With a glance, he caught sight of Zhang Cheng, whose chest was stained a deep red with blood, and commanded, "Take the master to the back, further away." Two black-clad warriors immediately complied, while Zhao Lan, enduring the pain in his hand, picked up his spear from the ground and focused intently on the charging Dian Wei and Wang Lei. He could not afford to sit idly by; otherwise, he would surely face defeat.

If Zhang Cheng is not killed, he will inevitably be killed

Ding!

This slaughter is merely a matter of an instant

Wang Lei noticed a brief moment of disarray among the three black-clad warriors, took a step forward, and swiftly charged ahead

On the battlefield, a moment is enough to be fatal

Ignorant thieves, die

Wang Lei charged down with a knife, avoiding the black-faced giant who was engaged in combat with the black-clad warrior, and headed straight for Zhang Cheng

Wang Lei was filled with murderous intent, continuously charging forward with his blade.

He was responsible for the charge, wielding two iron halberds that flew up and down in his hands, without any regard for anything else. Long spears thrust forward, their tips glinting with a cold light, each spear aimed directly at Dian Wei's vital points. However, Dian Wei swung his iron halberd in a wide arc, and in the blink of an eye, he managed to deflect the incoming spears and books. In a split second, the iron halberd in Dian Wei's left hand struck out.

Wang Lei shouted loudly, swinging the long knife in his hand

Carrying a small spear meant for throwing on his back and holding a pair of large iron halberds in his hands, this indeed reflects the attire of Dian Wei, who was tragically referred to by Cao Cao as 'the ancient evil spirit.' Historically, Dian Wei served as Cao Cao's personal bodyguard and was highly valued. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to leave a significant mark in history; before Cao Cao could achieve his ambitions, Dian Wei became a victim of Cao Cao's affair with Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law.

Dian Wei continued to thrust forward, causing the black-clad warrior to retreat repeatedly, unable to seize his brilliance

Three groups of nine individuals, exuding a fierce momentum

A roar like that of a tiger erupted as the black-faced giant, blocked by two rows of warriors wielding guns, shouted loudly

With a loud bang, a large gun was unexpectedly shattered by him

It is now

With a reverse grip on the long knife, the blade facing outward, he swiped upward from below. With a 'sizzle', the blade cut through flesh, leaving a bloody mark between the chest and neck of the black-clad warrior who had lost his spear. Flesh flew, and blood splattered onto Wang Lei's face. He grinned, revealing his stark white teeth, and a smile appeared on his somewhat simple face, resembling a blooming blood flower.

Regardless of the cost, Wang Lei must complete his task. He stared at the three black-clad warriors who were constantly attempting to assassinate him, and in his heart, he had already devised a plan. He deliberately exposed a fatal flaw. As expected, one of the black-clad warriors lunged forward with a thrust of his spear. Wang Lei seized this fleeting opportunity, gathered his strength, and swung his sword in a horizontal strike.

Wang Lei focused intently and said in a low voice: "Big Black, let's team up and charge over!"

Zhao Lan observed with great concern in his heart

Kill

Wang Lei keenly seized this fleeting opportunity, angling the steel knife upward and then cleaving down to the left. Under the brilliant sunlight, a sharp flash of the blade erupted, followed by a scream; yet another person fell beneath Wang Lei's knife

Wang Lei's eyes were filled with rage, and his heart was filled with great hatred, yet his heart sank, becoming increasingly calm.

Two black-clad warriors were instantly killed, and the remaining black-clad warrior retreated in fear.

Snap!

Zhao Lan resembled a venomous snake, fixating intently on Dian Wei

Wang Lei looked at the man beside him, who resembled a black tower, with a look of surprise in his eyes

Zhao Lan's heart was filled with joy as he shouted, "Kill them all, leave not a single one alive." Upon receiving the command, the black-clad warriors surrounding Dian Wei and Wang Lei did not attack; faced with these two fierce individuals, they dared not act recklessly.

Dian Wei

Zhao Lan raised an eyebrow, secretly lamenting the situation, as he did not expect to encounter another formidable individual.

Bastard, besiege, besiege!

Go to hell

The dark-faced giant said: "I have a dark face, but my surname is not Hei; my name is Dian Wei"

Wang Lei recovered and smiled, saying: "I was just testing your level earlier, go ahead, back to back, I'll take care of the rear."

Die!

Zhang Cheng, in his early twenties, has a fair complexion without a beard, a pale face, and a deep sense of fear reflected in his eyes

Kill

Wang Lei stood behind Dian Wei, blocking the attacks from behind. He swung his steel knife repeatedly to intercept the spear thrusts coming at him. Compared to Dian Wei, Wang Lei faced less pressure, as he did not need to charge head-on; he only needed to protect Dian Wei's back.

Dian Wei seized this fleeting opportunity, lunging forward with a stride, his iron halberd slicing through the air. The sharp tip of the halberd grazed the neck of the black-clad warrior, blood splattering forth, and in an instant, another person fell.

Zhao Lan supported the heavily injured Zhang Cheng, who was leaning against a large stone by the roadside, and comforted him, saying: "My lord, once we have dealt with the few small thieves who have invaded, I will immediately take you into the city for medical treatment. Please bear with it for a moment."

Dian Wei sidestepped and instantly moved in front of Wang Lei, swinging his large iron halberd. With a loud clang, he blocked a dangerously lethal thrust. He focused intently on the surrounding black-clad warriors and said in a deep voice: "Kid, since we are joining forces to kill the enemy, put in your utmost effort and don't get me killed. You cover my back and block the attacks from behind while I take the lead in the assault"

Whoosh

It hurts!

Kill
