The battlefield was chaotic.
But the tide of battle had turned.
With their army having a ten-to-one advantage, Master Gou's forces were only growing stronger. Once surrounded, no matter the opponent's level or weapon, death was inevitable.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
An officer lay on the ground begging for mercy.
A flurry of blades descended.
The officer was dismembered.
"Run, quick, run..."
Another officer fled in a frenzy.
A volley of bullets flew.
The officer was riddled with holes.
"Spare me!"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
"Please..."
Cries for mercy and laments echoed across the battlefield.
For years, the arrogant Lynx Regiment, infamous for their tyranny in the Witch Kingdom, had been utterly routed by a group of commoners from the lowest strata of society.
They were no longer arrogant.
They were finally afraid.
But it was too late!
The commoners, who had suffered for years, harbored deep hatred for the Lynx Regiment. Now, with Ye Zixiao's backing, the commoner soldiers fought with increasing ferocity, showing no intention of leaving any survivors.
Ten minutes later...
The fighting finally ceased.
The Lynx Regiment, who had come to show off, started with a thousand men. Only a dozen or so remained, including Lynx and Wild Dog. They were disarmed, guns pointed at them, and brought before Ye Zixiao.
"Do you recognize me?"
Ye Zixiao looked up and asked.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"My God, how could it be you?"
"Damn..."
Upon seeing Ye Zixiao, Lynx and Wild Dog were first stunned into silence, then realization dawned. Their defeat was not just due to underestimating the enemy, but because their opponent was too powerful.
Who was Ye Zixiao?
He was the boss of the Hungry Wolf Legion!
During the battle of the North Sea, Lynx's forces had not directly encountered Ye Zixiao, but they were well aware of him. They never dreamed that this formidable opponent would be in the Witch Kingdom.
"Commander Lynx."
Ye Zixiao, now exuding an aura of righteousness, spoke sternly, "From the moment you attacked the North Sea, you were already a dead man. I just didn't expect you to come here to die willingly."
"Heh, neither did I."
Lynx appeared somewhat resigned.
Perhaps he knew there was no hope.
"Ye Zixiao, you're nothing."
Wild Dog, standing beside Lynx, puffed out his chest and glared at Ye Zixiao, shouting, "I've heard you're a great fighter, but I've never seen you in action. If you're truly that amazing, how about we have a fight?"
"Who are you?"
Ye Zixiao narrowed his eyes.
"General, Wild Dog!"
"Oh, so you were the one who led the massacre of civilians during the North Sea battle, weren't you?"
"That's right!"
"Heh, so you think you're quite something?"
"Ye Zixiao, stop the damn blather. I'm asking if you dare fight me. If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want. If you lose, you must let me and Commander Lynx go."
"What's your rank?"
Ye Zixiao asked with some curiosity.
"Yesterday, I was promoted to Witch God!"
"Witch God?"
"You can think of it as a Martial God!"
Wild Dog declared arrogantly, holding his head high.
"Martial God?"
"My God, that high?!"
"Everyone, be careful."
"Brother Ye, can you beat him?"
"I don't think so!"
Nearby, gasps of shock erupted.
Master Gou's men grew tense, as the Witch God rank was extremely rare in the Witch Kingdom. Legend had it that a single Witch God could easily defeat a hundred Witch Kings, and their methods of killing were horrific.
Leng Shao and Shan Ge's men also whispered, for in the Dragon Kingdom, a Martial God was a formidable existence. Take North Sea City for example; Martial Gods were few and far between, and those above the Martial God level were even rarer.
"Ye Zixiao, are you scared?"
Wild Dog, hearing the murmurs, became even more boastful.
"Yes, I'm scared!"
Ye Zixiao actually took two steps back.
He looked at Bai Ling'er.
"I can't beat him!"
Bai Ling'er shook her head directly.
He looked at Lin Bin, Leng Shao, and Shan Ge.
"What's wrong?"
"Stop messing around, Brother Xiao!"
"Even if the three of us team up, it's suicide!"
The three simpletons were no longer simpletons at this moment.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"
Seeing the situation, Wild Dog burst into wild laughter and said, "Since no one dares to fight, then let us go. As powerful individuals, isn't it too disgraceful to use guns?"
"Yes!"
Ye Zixiao nodded.
In any country in the world, true masters disdained using guns. Of course, Ye Zixiao wasn't normal; at times, he felt guns were more stylish than swords.
But now was different.
This was the Witch Kingdom!
In front of his brothers like Master Gou, if Ye Zixiao didn't dare accept the challenge and instead ordered his men to shoot Lynx and Wild Dog, his brothers would mock him behind his back, even if they didn't say it openly.
"What should we do?"
Ye Zixiao asked Master Gou.
"Me? I don't know!"
Master Gou felt somewhat annoyed. He had clearly won a great victory, only to be taunted by this Wild Dog. If he truly shot them dead, they would become a laughingstock in the future.
But he couldn't just let them go!
"Alright, I'll do it!"
Tang Keke stepped forward with a wry smile.
"I didn't look at you!"
Ye Zixiao became a bit cheeky.
"My boss, you can stop now. The moment you retreated, I knew I had to step in. We both know each other, don't we? Besides me, who else can defeat a Martial God?"
"Thank you, President Tang!"
Ye Zixiao actually cupped his fists in gratitude.
This meant that Ye Zixiao admitted he was inferior to Tang Keke.
"No way?"
"Brother Xiao is not as good as President Tang?"
"Impossible, right?"
The three simpletons were all bewildered.
"She, can she do it?"
"This beauty, can she beat a Witch God?"
"Boss Ye can't beat this woman?"
Master Gou's men also began to murmur.
Ye Zixiao ignored everyone's doubts. He was feeling lazy today and truly didn't want to fight. He leaned against a car, smoking a cigarette, seemingly prepared to be a spectator.
"Miss, who are you?"
Wild Dog leered at Tang Keke.
"I am Ye Zixiao's maid."
Tang Keke walked forward with a sweet smile.
"Damn it!"
Wild Dog's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Such a beautiful woman, why would you be willing to be his maid? Why don't you come with us? Our Commander Lynx will surely cherish you."
"Alright!"
Tang Keke nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go, no need to fight anymore."
"No, no, no, the fight is definitely happening. I can go with you, but only if you can beat me. Oh, and I don't like using knives, how about we fight bare-handed?"
"I will kill you!"
Wild Dog revealed a ferocious expression.
"Come on, hit me hard!"
Tang Keke remained smiling.
"Seeking death!"
Wild Dog was enraged. He suddenly flashed forward, his palms shaped like blades, not fists, slashing at Tang Keke multiple times. His speed was like a phantom, his killing intent fierce, truly a brutal attack.
But surprisingly, Tang Keke dodged all of these rapid attacks.
"You're too slow!"
Tang Keke continued to smile.
"You son of a bitch, die!"
Wild Dog grew even more furious. He lunged forward, his hands like two sharp blades, slashing at Tang Keke from all angles, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. His speed had already created afterimages.
Tang Keke continued to evade.
She dodged at times, and somersaulted in place at others.
"Faster, faster..."
While dodging, Tang Keke taunted him.
Beauty versus Wild Dog!
The fight was spectacular and captivating.
