Chapter 32 has arrived!

“What's going on?!”

At this moment, Feng Zhiyong saw the scene before him, and the astonishment in his heart had already surged like a flood, raging within him.

His hands clenched tightly, and a raging anger reflected in his eyes.

Phantom Assassins, Qi Masters, Iron Forgers.

Who would have thought that the situation, which had just been firmly in their grasp, had now turned into this, with three dutiful warriors dying here.

Professionals.

In judging the strength of a force, the number and quality of professionals are key. Although the army has excellent physical fitness, in the temporary 1,000-person team formed by Feng Zhiyong, there were only thirteen professionals, with the remaining nine guarding two city districts, and he was accompanied by the Phantom Assassins and others.

These people were like his personal guards, accompanying him to fight in all directions, and had accumulated numerous merits.

Dead.

Once powerful professionals, already molded into heroes in the army, had clearly seen a glimmer of victory, and now... they were completely engulfed in endless darkness due to the appearance of the deformed beast.

"Sergeant, this guy actually killed the sergeant!"

"And Zhang Ge, I joined the army because he brought me in!"

"What the hell are you! I don't believe I can't kill you!"

"Third Platoon, listen to my command, open fire!"

A burst of shouting, and at that moment, dozens of people stepped forward. Among them were young soldiers, seasoned veterans, and members of the cooking squad, with varying combat strengths, but they had one thing in common—they were all soldiers. Since they had been in the same unit for a long time, they had already regarded each other as their brothers. Witnessing the tragic deaths of the Phantom Assassins and others, these people, ablaze with anger, raised their guns and pulled the triggers towards the deformed beast.

Dozens of people shouted to bolster their own courage. At the forefront of the crowd, they directly confronted the silver deformed beast that had brought them disaster.

The soldiers' attacks were not completely ineffective. The barrage of ammunition bombarded the deformed beast, and several fearless soldiers charged within five meters of the beast, where the accuracy of their bullets increased substantially at close range.

"Roar..."

The deformed beast's body lacked a hardened carapace, only a thick layer of fat, so it was merely flesh and blood. In addition, it had been heavily injured by the Iron Forger earlier, so these bullets easily penetrated its body, sending numerous blood splatters flying.

It could be defeated!

It was just flesh and blood. As long as there was enough ammunition, it could be completely killed!

The soldiers had not yet had the chance to rejoice, when the deformed beast suddenly took a step forward, swung its forelimbs, and directly pummeled several soldiers at the front!

Blood sprayed onto the face of a cook. He was stunned, feeling a foul smell at the tip of his nose, and his field of vision turned red. In front of him, three comrades were directly ripped open, their bodies completely severed from their waists, leaving only a few strands of flesh connected.

Large amounts of blood poured onto the ground. Because their brains still had some consciousness, these individuals even emitted a ghastly howl, dragging their half-bodies, frantically crawling on the ground.

Does it hurt?

It must hurt a lot.

The cook only felt a searing pain assaulting his frightened nerves, and the next moment, a scorching wave came from above. He slowly raised his head, only to see a pair of bloodthirsty eyes...

Watching the deformed beast break into the crowd directly caused the soldiers in the rear to become bewildered. Some had already picked up their firearms, only to put them down the next moment.

The deformed beast held a soldier in its mouth, not directly crushing his body, but instead, performed what seemed like a taunt and torment, holding him in its mouth while swinging him around, with saliva and blood splattering everywhere. Some people could vaguely recognize him as Little Wang from the cooking squad, a slightly shy young man from the south...

"Stop it!"

The vine sorcerer was flustered and pale. He hastily concentrated his power on the ground, and instantly, several thick vines appeared, tightly entwining the deformed beast.

"Roar..."

However, before the vine sorcerer could breathe a sigh of relief, the deformed beast let out a roar, exerting its strength to instantly break free from the vines. It was a silver-tier entity, and it had also fallen into a state of frenzy due to its severe injuries. The vines, in comparison, were unable to restrain its movements!

Terrifying!

Feng Zhiyong's disheveled hair and trembling body clearly showed that the deformed beast's strength had surpassed his expectations. How could this opponent... be such a monstrous creature?

Should we let the deformed beast continue to rampage, or should we... open fire now?

Now is the best opportunity; the deformed beast is caught up in a frenzy of killing. With heavy firepower advancing now, it is certain to die, but... what about those soldiers?

Once we start shooting, it means those soldiers will also become victims.

At this moment, Feng Zhiyong is caught in a dilemma. There are even two voices in his ear, one saying no, they are your most loyal soldiers and they still have a chance to survive, while the other voice is saying, "Open fire! This is the best chance. Once the monster breaks out, it will require a great cost to kill it!"

We can't wait!

So many people have already died; if we give up now, the deformed beast will definitely become a threat.

The deformed beast is elusive.

Once targeted by these beasts, just the thought of it gives him a headache.

Feng Zhiyong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes seemed to be on the verge of popping out, and he looked at the soldiers with a strong sense of guilt and apology in his eyes.

This is an inevitable situation.

In order to liberate this district, sacrifices must be made, not only for these soldiers, but when necessary, he also needs to give up his life!

Feng Zhiyong closed his eyes, as if he did not dare to face what was about to happen, and his lips trembled, "Open fire..."

"What? Commander, our brothers are still in there!"

"Yes, if we open fire now, those brothers have no chance of survival..."

"How can this be?"

The other soldiers widened their eyes, seemingly unable to believe their ears, and began to plead.

"I said open fire!"

Feng Zhiyong suddenly opened his eyes, and now he was filled with the aura of a superior. His tone was beyond reproach.

"This..."

Looking in the direction of the commander's gaze, the soldiers quickly understood what was happening. With these comrades as a buffer, their chances of shooting the monster would greatly increase. But, these are people... they are comrades who have shared hardships with them, and solidarity and trust are the first lesson they have learned. And now, the officer actually ordered them to shoot their comrades, how could they bring themselves to do it?

The thought of having to personally kill their comrades tore at the soldiers' hearts, and they didn't know what to do...

"Why are you still standing there? I told you to open fire! Fire! You bunch of cowards, useless, now... I order you... open fire!"

Feng Zhiyong's voice had become hoarse. This veteran, who was known for his cold demeanor in the military, the commander who loved to say that a man does not shed tears when shedding blood, this man who had lived half his life in the army, was now in tears, tears streaming down his face, trembling as he spoke, "Open fire..."

There's no other way.

Yes...

If we don't open fire now, when should we?

"Ah! I'll kill you!"

"Bastard, go to hell!"

"Xiaowu, I'll still be your brother in the next life!"

The soldiers, with tears in their eyes, roared as they raised their guns, aiming at the entangled monster and their comrades in the distance.

Suddenly!

A soldier holding a gun showed an expression of disbelief, pointing ahead in astonishment and shouting, "Wait... look over there!"

On a nearby rooftop, there was a tall figure.

He had a cold and stern look, with eyes that were icy and profound. In ordinary times, this would have given people a sense of distant chilliness, but now... in this predicament, in the bewildered and disoriented state of the soldiers, his appearance was like a piece of ice that subdued the heat in their hearts.

Because of his appearance, the people even forgot to pull the trigger.

The deformed beast is such a ferocious existence, but in his eyes, there is no trace of fear at all, not even a ripple on his face.

"People have almost died enough!"

Chen Feng muttered softly, then with a forceful movement of his arm, an invisible wave of energy burst forth.

Two dark shadows emanated from him, then, in an instant, two eerie silhouettes twisted and appeared, and then indistinct shadows emerged before the eyes of the crowd.

Dark elves.

These are creatures that worship death, possessing evil will. They are born in darkness, the embodiment of the darkest and most desolate feelings.

Darkness, distortion, pain, and torment.

She was dressed in black, her slender jade-like neck held high, her waist straight, barely the width of a grip, and her pair of long, well-proportioned legs were supremely enchanting. She exuded a seductive charm from the depths of her being, seeming to radiate allure at all times.

Pink Poison.

The only way to solve problems is not just through combat. In the abyss, danger lurks everywhere. If one only knows how to use force to solve problems, the dark elves would not last long.

Body.

In that chaotic world, she was adept at using various resources, like arrows in her hand. Her body was also her sharpest weapon, the most lethal without shedding a drop of blood.

"Roar..."

The deformed beast detected a hint of threat. It lifted its head, its pair of blood-red eyes glaring directly at Chen Feng, as if to declare its territory. This was its turf, so he should scram!

"If you were at your peak, I wouldn't dare to have any designs on you. But now, after taking so much ammunition and expending most of your energy to kill the professionals, you don't even have thirty percent of your strength left. Let me go? You're not even worthy!"

Chen Feng raised his head, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes, as if it surpassed the heavens. He squeezed out a word from his throat: "Kill it!"

A glint flashed in the dark elf's eyes. In her community, females were revered, and to her, males were nothing more than a group of slaves and tools for reproduction.

However...

Chen Feng was different. As her master, she felt a kind of divine power from him. Inviolable and irresistible, especially when he subjected her to cruel punishment in his moments of displeasure. It was a feeling the dark elf had never experienced before.

Moreover, he always managed to find powerful prey for her to slaughter.

Silver level.

Although the deformed beast was now in a sorry state, with its wings shattered, a huge wound on its chest, and countless bullet holes all over its body, its momentum was still as terrifying and powerful.

The dark elf worshipped a goddess named Rose, a brutal and tyrannical ruler who took pleasure in tormenting others. It was because of this that she even bestowed blessings upon some of her devotees who killed powerful enemies.

Some dark elves, to please the goddess, would even voluntarily capture unicorns. When the sacred unicorns were invaded by darkness and death, Rose would bestow her blessings upon them.

A master who always allowed her to slaughter strong opponents, a master who saw her as a mere ant, a cruel and tyrannical master—the dark elf trembled as she gazed at Chen Feng. A misty moisture rose in her eyes, and her legs grew weak. In her brief life, besides the goddess Rose, her heart had already imprinted a second figure.

"Phew!"

The dark elf drew the arrow taut, and the next moment, with a "crack," the black arrow streaked like a stream of light, piercing through the deformed beast's ankle.

"Woo..."

Struck by the arrow like a hurricane, the deformed beast howled and screamed, its eyes filled with emptiness, and with a sharp pain in its ankle, it didn't even have a chance to evade the blow.

"Woo..."

Boundless power erupted once again. The enraged deformed beast had lost all rationality. Its front claws were covered in fine red blood droplets, its muscles swelled, and its nails grew. Its front limbs were like the limbs of a demon, emanating a chilling majesty, as if with a light squeeze, it could turn even stone to ashes.

"Chirp!"

It was no use. No matter how ferocious the deformed beast was, it had lost its ability to fly. Now it was nothing more than a target for the dark elf to shoot at will.

Ankles, wrists, chest, waist, eyes...

Five arrows. The dark elf was like an interrogator, mercilessly tormenting the deformed beast.

Great master.

Proud master.

Cruel master.

Once again, the dark elf raised the arrow. Her lips trembled, but the arrow flew straight as parallel lines. To please her master, she would personally end the deformed beast's life...
