Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Breaking the Formation
Seeing Wang Yan being surrounded, Qin Tian and the others were shocked. Although they were all wounded and exhausted at the moment, they were now about to rush into the main hall to rescue Wang Yan.
Wang Yan, standing in the Wheel Array, waved his hand towards Qin Tian, saying, “No need to come in, and don’t worry.”
Qin Tian and the others immediately stopped, but they said worriedly, “Wolf King, there are a hundred people.”
Wang Yan smiled lightly and said, “Remember, it’s not a hundred people, it’s a hundred dogs. If a hundred dogs surround you, what is there to be afraid of?”
Even though Wang Yan’s voice was filled with confidence, Qin Tian and the others felt that the situation in front of them didn’t seem as easy as Wang Yan made it out to be.
Hearing Wang Yan compare them to dogs once again, the mercenary leader snorted angrily and said, “Attack, let’s show this arrogant kid whether you’re dogs or wolves!”
The hundred mercenaries already regarded Wang Yan as a fish on the chopping block. After all, over the years, no one had ever survived in their Wheel Array.
Seeing someone who was about to die still so arrogant, the hundred mercenaries showed a look of anger in their eyes.
The hundred mercenaries took two quick steps forward, getting closer and closer to Wang Yan.
Originally, the hundred mercenaries were only five steps away from Wang Yan. After advancing two steps, they were only three steps away.
The more they closed in, the tighter the hundred mercenaries became, and the gaps between their aimed daggers and spears at Wang Yan grew smaller.
Even if the mercenaries stood still, Wang Yan couldn’t possibly pass through the daggers and spears.
All that could be seen was cold light flashing, countless knife tips, and spearheads pressing towards Wang Yan.
Wang Yan stood upright, facing the oncoming blades and spears, seemingly without a trace of tension.
At this moment, the tips of the knives and spears were only a foot away from Wang Yan. If the mercenaries took one more step forward or pushed their arms lightly, they could stab Wang Yan.
No matter how one looked at it, surrounded by dozens of weapons, Wang Yan seemed to have no chance of escaping.
At this point, the mercenary leader completely relaxed. He shot a cold glance at Wang Yan and said, “Kid, you have no hope of escaping now. However, I see talent in you, and I don’t want to kill you. As I said before, why not turn foes into friends—”
The mercenary king’s words seemed to come from the heart, incredibly sincere.
Qin Tian and the others had already despaired, but upon hearing the mercenary leader’s words, they seemed to see hope again. They immediately thought that turning foes into friends might be the best outcome at this moment.
Just at that moment, as the mercenary leader uttered the words “turn foes into friends,” he suddenly emphasized his tone, especially stretching the word “friends.”
Just when everyone thought the mercenary leader was about to make peace with Wang Yan, the hundred mercenaries suddenly lunged forward fiercely at the very moment “friend” landed, thrusting their long knives and spears toward Wang Yan.
These hundred mercenaries were already close to Wang Yan. At that moment, they attacked suddenly, especially since the mercenary leader was speaking in such a soft tone, so no one could predict it.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, the sharp blades and spear tips were already near Wang Yan.
In fact, this was exactly the mercenary leader’s trap, something they had rehearsed countless times.
His words seemed to express sincerity, further relaxing Wang Yan’s vigilance, but only the mercenaries knew that the words “turn foes into friends” were actually the command to attack.
Qin Tian and the eight others let out a cry of shock, but they only had time to open their mouths in astonishment and didn’t even manage to utter a single “be careful.”
There was a constant clanging sound, the result of long knives and spears stabbing forward, clashing with each other. The space where Wang Yan stood was now entirely filled with weapons, leaving no room for dodging.
Furthermore, over thirty more people had raised their daggers long ago, waiting for the moment when Wang Yan wasn’t killed by the stab, ready to throw their daggers to finish the job.
The mercenary leader started to laugh coldly. At this point, Wang Yan was as good as dead.
Yet, in the next moment, the mercenary leader’s smile froze on his face, filled with terror in his eyes.
Because after the weapons fell, there was no spray of blood, nor did they hear Wang Yan’s screams.
The mercenary leader hurriedly looked carefully, and was dumbfounded. In the middle of the hundred mercenaries, Wang Yan’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Not only the mercenary leader, but even the hundred mercenaries were stunned. The Wang Yan who had been standing in front of them had suddenly vanished.
The mercenaries stood there dumbfounded, at a loss as to what to do.
Qin Tian and the eight others were also overjoyed, and everyone looked in the direction where Wang Yan had stood, trying to find out where he had gone.
At that moment, they saw a figure descending from the sky.
The person who suddenly fell was Wang Yan.
It turned out, at the moment the blades and spears came at him, Wang Yan had leapt up at incredible speed into the air.
At that moment, the hundred mercenaries were still in the posture of thrusting their weapons. As Wang Yan descended, he landed exactly on top of those dozens of blades and spears.
As Wang Yan’s feet landed, he stomped heavily, causing a tremor among the dozens of blades and spears.
The mercenaries felt as if the weapons in their hands had become as heavy as mountains, leaving them utterly unable to hold onto them.
The constant clattering sound, as dozens of blades and spears hit the ground simultaneously, followed Wang Yan’s body falling towards the ground. At the same time, Wang Yan raised his right arm, spinning his body in a circle, his knife drawing a circle around his body.
Like a flash of silver light, the closest dozen mercenaries grunted a few times, their bodies went limp, and they crumpled to the ground.
Seeing this, the mercenary leader was shocked. He had seen that Wang Yan, with just one spin, had already slain more than a dozen mercenaries. The mercenary leader urgently shouted, “Retreat, retreat.”
But just as the mercenary leader finished his words, Wang Yan’s body had already spun seven or eight more times, with flickers of silver light circles around his body.
Each silver circle meant a rank of mercenaries fell. When Wang Yan finished eight spins, the mercenaries surrounding him had all fallen to the ground.
Every person’s throat had a thin cut, their tracheas sliced open, “haa-haa” staring with wide eyes but unable to speak.
It was only then that Wang Yan’s feet landed solidly on the ground.
Seeing this, the mercenary leader was utterly stunned. In just a blink of an eye, his hundred men were all dead.
Qin Tian and the eight others were also shocked. Although it was their side that had won, the way victory was achieved was so shocking that they couldn’t believe their eyes.
Just then, they heard Fatty Pig shout, “What mercenaries, turns out they’re useless. Damn it, today seems like I need to go on a killing spree. Machine gun team, come out for me.”
With Fatty Pig’s words, another hundred people rushed out from around the hall, each holding a submachine gun, the black muzzles aimed at Wang Yan.
Even more terrifying, in the middle of the hall, someone was carrying a rocket launcher, aimed directly at Wang Yan.
