Wang Ye and Xu Heng, both pale-faced with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, were gasping for air in the midst of battle.
Especially Wang Ye, his face devoid of color.
After fighting with Tonyka, the leader of the Dark Wing Angel Organization, he had almost completely drained the strength from his body.
Now, fighting alongside Xu Heng against seven opponents of SS-level strength for so long, if it weren't for his sheer willpower, Wang Ye would have likely already collapsed.
Xu Heng could feel Wang Ye's weakness, his eyes fixed intently on the seven people encircling them.
It gave him a sensation of returning to the days of war.
Outnumbered and surrounded by enemies, they constantly battled, the enemies grinding down many of their comrades until they perished.
Back then, he couldn't hold on any longer due to prolonged combat and physical weakness.
The captain he was back-to-back with spoke some words to Xu Heng before selflessly charging into the fray alone, dealing with the enemies and completely exhausting his own life.
It was what allowed Xu Heng to survive.
To this day, when Xu Heng recalls that scene, it emerges so vividly in Wang Ye's mind, bringing back the memories for Xu Heng.
At that time, someone was willing to make a sacrifice for him.
Now, it was his turn.
Xu Heng coughed twice, blood spewed from his mouth as he said to Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, you have not yet joined the military department, which I've always found regrettable."
"But actually, it's not really important."
"Because what you've done, to me, it means we are pursuing the same thing, we share a common goal."
"Years ago, an elder sacrificed himself to save me, now it's my turn."
As Xu Heng spoke, he coughed, conveying a significant weakness, yet the power emanating from him grew stronger, and his aura seemed to be approaching that of Long Qingtian.
Wang Ye, realizing what Xu Heng was about to do, urgently said, "Elder Xu, there's no need! Both of us fighting together will surely break through! You have to believe me, Elder Xu, we can fight together, you don't need to do something on your own for my sake!"
As Wang Ye spoke, his energy burst out almost hysterically, his Liu Yun Sword slashing continuously, yet the power it emitted did not give the impression of growing stronger.
It was rather the sense of a trapped tiger still fighting in desperation.
To the side, Long Qingtian also looked towards Xu Heng.
Being stronger, he could see Xu Heng's blood and energy roiling.
His strength kept increasing.
He knew what Xu Heng was doing!
Using a secret technique!
It was a forbidden technique from their era of combat!
At that time, Dragon Country was at a disadvantage, and many patriotic martyrs, in the face of defeat, were willing to sacrifice themselves to take down the enemy with them.
In the beginning, this forbidden technique was not released.
Because the leaders of Dragon Country knew if they let this technique loose, their soldiers would not flee but would instead choose to self-destruct along with the foreign foes.
However, later the leaders of Dragon Country realized that even without releasing this forbidden technique, their soldiers would still lay down their lives for their comrades and their country, even when they had the opportunity to flee.
Only, because they did not possess this forbidden technique, the sacrifice sometimes was in vain.
Ultimately, the leaders of Dragon Country had no choice but to disseminate the forbidden technique.
And it was this forbidden technique that Xu Heng was now preparing to use.
Burning one's own life as a price to gain a huge boost in strength for a short period.
If it could be controlled, that might be okay, but if not, then Xu Heng was probably facing death next.
This made Long Qingtian's heart instantly fill with anxiety.
He looked at the shadowy true form in front of him and roared, "Move aside!"
After speaking, he unleashed a powerful attack, creating a wound on the shadowy true form.
Another attack, and Long Qingtian wanted to rush to support Wang Ye and Xu Heng, but was entangled by the shadowy true form. No matter what Long Qingtian did, he couldn't get past.
Impotent rage.
"Break!"
A reprimanding voice came.
The language of Dragon Country!
It belonged to neither Wang Ye nor Xu Heng nor Long Qingtian!
A woman's voice!
Wang Ye and Xu Heng were both slightly stunned, and for a moment, even the speed at which Xu Heng was releasing the forbidden technique slowed down.
However, they did not lower their guard.
Although the newcomer spoke the language of Dragon Country, it didn't necessarily mean they were from Dragon Country.
It could also be that some foreigners, wanting Wang Ye, Xu Heng, and even Long Qingtian to let down their guard during the fight, had deliberately created this fog of confusion.
But the next second.
A figure appeared right outside the seven people besieging Wang Ye and Xu Heng. The sword in their hand turned into a series of afterimages, moving extremely fast, even faster than double S-ranked assassins.
The seven people surrounding Wang Ye and Xu Heng only felt a gust of wind brush past their backs, yet they didn't feel any pain.
But the next second.
They felt a chill on their necks.
Touching their necks lightly, they felt something warm and sticky. Looking at it, blood.
Suddenly, their vision began to spin.
The heads of all seven people had fallen to the ground.
They were killed.
Wang Ye and Xu Heng exchanged glances, looking at the seven people who had just been entangled with them, they both felt as if they were in a dream.
What happened?
They felt they had only heard a woman's voice say the word "break" in their language of Dragon Country, followed by seeing a shadow mixed with sword shadows stroll behind the backs of these seven double S-ranked individuals, and then all of their heads fell to the ground.
On the side, Long Qingtian, who had been expressing impotent fury, was also slightly stunned
His face showed some confusion.
What's going on?
What's the situation?
All seven people, were they taken care of?
