The sudden gunshot broke the tranquility of the jungle, scattering the surrounding wildlife. This time, Xia Mu didn't give his opponent a chance. Ophelia's pistol was seized by Xia Mu before it could even be aimed. After taking the firearm, he swiftly turned around.
Despite being a martial artist, Ophelia couldn't compete with a man in terms of strength. Helplessly, she had to follow Xia Mu's turn. But Xia Mu moved faster; as he spun, he twisted his wrist. A sour and painful sensation started from Ophelia's wrist. Her weapon slipped out of her hand. She had no control over her arm, which was holding a military knife. With a push and a tug from Xia Mu, her arm dropped to the ground.
"Young ladies shouldn't brandish guns and knives." Xia Mu warned. However, it seemed more like he was taunting, taunting a superb soldier from a hostile force.
At this moment, a gentle breeze passed by, seeming to add a touch of chill to the intense battle. Then, crystal-clear dewdrops fell between the two. In this season, dew dripping from trees was evidently unusual. Following the direction of the droplets, both of them saw an unbelievable sight...
It was a somewhat familiar figure that they couldn't attach a name to at the moment. She turned out to be Mengdie! Unlike before, Mengdie, who was now dressed in the elder's attire of the Jade Clear Sect, looked less military-like but exuded more authority.
The contrast between her mysteriously fluttering green gauze, her hair swaying in the wind, and her stunning face was striking. Mengdie was as light as a swallow, standing atop a towering ancient tree; her figure moved with the wind, as if dancing gracefully. For a moment, even Ophelia, as a woman, was captivated by her unparalleled elegance... Her eyes were as clear as ice dew, her graceful image was like a blooming lotus emerging from the water. She was so stunning that it left one speechless. For such a beauty who exudes elegance without saying a word, we should leave her undisturbed.
But Ophelia decided to say something after all, "Meng...Mengdie... We are from the Federal Allied Force, and we need your support."
At this point, Xia Mu's heart was filled with tumultuous emotions. Mengdie, who had once fought against the Revenge Shadow Rider, was here. Could it be that the gunshot attracted her? But, how could Zana, who had left the war, come to Mardis to join the battle? If Mengdie was his opponent, he would have no chance of winning. From Mengdie's destructiveness, she seemed to be at the First-Order peak level, but her menace was not her destructiveness, it was her speed.
"Zana has already left the FCA Alliance. Mengdie, I hope you won't interfere." As Xia Mu spoke, he took out a lightning table, seemingly wanting to record onsite evidence. Any action of Mengdie would be uploaded to the Sky Network. However, nearby signal transmission had already been blocked. Regardless, he decided to deceive this young girl.
Mengdie looked at the lightning table, her watery big eyes widened noticeably as if she was observing it carefully for a moment before turning her gaze away. She looked into the distance, lost in thought...
What on earth was going on in this young girl's mind? Say something if you are going to fight.
Both Ophelia and Xia Mu exchanged glances, seemingly at a loss. Just when they were puzzled, they looked at Mengdie again. Where she was standing was suddenly void of any presence, and only the swaying branches in the wind proved Mengdie's existence. She just disappeared mysteriously?
She was just passing by as a neutral party. But even so, Xia Mu couldn't help but take a deep breath! Mengdie's technique was truly horrifying. As a First-Order warrior, he couldn't even sense Mengdie's presence.
Soon, rustling sounds were heard from the distant jungle again...
These footsteps are... Ophelia was taken aback. Whether it was due to the gunshot or something else, the three remaining super soldiers of the Federation had entered at the same time. This also meant that it would be difficult for them to escape now.
Xia Mu saw three people at the same time, the Haier Brothers and Mu Tou. Of course, the super soldiers on the opposite side weren't pushovers. On the contrary, under a 1V4 condition, victory may still be difficult. However, this isn't like battling with mecha. Close combat doesn't require as much technical content and operational speed as mecha. As long as the opponent isn't on the same level, there's still a great chance of winning.
Unfortunately, before they could even be happy about it, the hastily approaching Saudi super soldiers had already emerged from the shadows. Seeing the guns carried by the three Federation soldiers, Mardis, who was in the crowd, sneered disdainfully. It was a pity that Sky Shadow was not found among the crowd.
The four of them might hardly be a threat. The Haier Brothers' cooperation might be worth the expectation, and Mu Tou has weak close combat ability. Ophelia and Mu Tou were about the same. However, on their side, not only did they have Xia Mu, but they also had Jiu Ling, who is not weak in close combat. Furthermore, they had Xiuluo, whose individual combat ability was unfathomable. He could even take down one person as soon as you make a move. The group was simply a piece of fat meat.
"You shouldn't have come here."
"We heard gunshots and thought something had happened to you."
Only then did Ophelia startle, and cursed her carelessness. It was her gunshot that brought both parties here. She shouldn't have fired that shot!
"You guys have no way out, surrender." Jiu Ling said, striding forward with her hands on her hips. She was also sizing up the group. These people were the super soldiers of the Federation that she had fought against several times in the Bermuda galaxy. They had very youthful faces. That pair of brothers was probably younger than her.
"We can surrender, but I'll have to ask the gun in my hand if it agrees." The Haier Brothers said in unison. Needless to say, the pair of telepathically connected brothers was the biggest threat. Their tacit understanding and ability to communicate made them a formidable force. In most cases, a look, a sound, or no external indication at all could clearly convey their thoughts to each other. Hence, once they locked in on someone, hardly anyone could evade their combined predictive insight. This was the absolute concept of 1+1 being greater than 2.
Jiu Ling laughed helplessly, "Do you really think..."
"Don't move!" The older Haier brother admonished sharply, "If you take one more step forward, I can't guarantee this gun won't go off."
Indeed, if it was someone else, Jiu Ling wouldn't be afraid. But if one of the Haier brothers took action, regardless of who it was, she could possibly become the main target. While her people might win, she could lose her life in the process. The saying 'the shot hits the bird that pokes its head out' took on this exact concept.
Meanwhile, several weapons were also aimed at the Haier Brothers, courtesy of Black Blade and Silver Mary.
At this moment, Xia Mu stepped forward, "I don't wish for unnecessary killing, but I can assure you that, with my personal ability, I can barely withstand a few seconds of suppressive fire, and during this time, Black Blade and Mary can kill you. To my knowledge, you don't have the ability to catch bullets with your hands. Moreover, we have Xiuluo on our side, who has unfathomable individual combat power. He can even knock one of you down as soon as you make a move."
Xia Mu's voice, coupled with the increasing pressure, made the Haier Brothers break out in cold sweat...
Unfortunately, at this moment, another voice interrupted him, "I don't think so."
With his dual guns, Feng Yi expressed a different opinion. As he spoke, he rapidly emerged from behind the Saudi super soldiers. Notably, he suddenly put his two desert eagles back into their holsters and added, "In fact, I can assure you that I can kill the person who pulls the trigger the instant they make a move."
