Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 677 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
The roar of explosives and the flashes of light, along with the smoke and dust they kicked up, compressed visibility to the extreme in the darkness.

From afar, one could hear only continuous screams, shrill cries of killing, and desperate wails of agony.

In a short time, this silent sea of ​​sand was transformed into a living hell, with the glaring crimson blood staining the blood-red desert almost instantly.

The sounds and the smell of blood attracted the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress deep within the outer buildings of the ancient city of Tongjing, beneath the sand layer, causing the sand to tremble and rumble.

Like snake tracks, the winding trails bulge out from the sand, attempting to break through the sand and pull all the "food" on top down.

Unfortunately
This white sea of ​​sand seemed to have been tampered with, sprinkled with a substance that the Hydra Cypress feared. After lingering for a moment, the Hydra Cypress's tentacles finally retreated unwillingly!

This battlefield was destined not to be the hunting ground of the Hydra Cypress.

During the battle, the members of the Nine Gates and the Wang family noticed the commotion beneath their feet, but both sides were already bloodthirsty.

Furthermore, since it was merely a lot of thunder without any rain, neither side paid much attention to this anomaly, simply assuming it was a sudden geological movement.

……

Underground, while Li Chu was stunned by the commotion above, Hei Xiazi's figure had already quietly disappeared.

Under the cover of night and the smoke and firelight, three tall figures slowly emerged from the darkness from two directions.

It was Hu Ming, Zhang Rishan, and Hei Xiazi.

"Tsk, long time no see, side by side? Too bad, it's not you, young man, but Zhang Rishan, you rather annoying fellow..."

Black Bear tucked the short sword under his arm and wiped the blade clean, saying calmly.

"I'm really sorry, I'm very sorry. Although we are both from the Zhang family and I also have Qilin blood, I haven't had much interaction with the last Zhang Qiling."

"If we include Buddha, I'm still one of the half-masterminds who persecuted Zhang Qiling back then. So, by that logic, I'm still his enemy."

"What, why don't you just take care of your friend's only remaining enemy right here?"

Zhang Yueshan scoffed, unmoved, stretched his limbs a few times, and then ripped his shirt to shreds with a tearing sound.

On a desert night when the temperature suddenly dropped, Zhang Yueshan felt his blood surging and his body temperature rising rapidly, with a wisp of water vapor rising from his body.

At the same time, an exquisite and lifelike black tattoo covered Zhang Yueshan's upper body.

"Wow~ The Zhang family does things like murder and arson, revealing their tattoos?"

Hu Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.

God knows where he learned this lousy habit. Why can't he just fight properly? Who is he trying to impress by going shirtless?
Seduction?
"So what if you have tattoos?"

"Hu Ming has more tattoos than you, but he never takes his clothes off to fight! So what if you have tattoos?"

Hei Xiazi glanced at the Qilin tattoo on Zhang Yueshan's body, clicked his tongue, and was about to make a few jokes when his face suddenly darkened.

Just as they were talking, Hu Ming tilted his head, stuck the knife into the desert, and took off his shirt in a much more refined manner.

A dragon and a phoenix intertwine and coil around Hu Ming's upper body, the faint glow lending the tattoo an even more mystical and evocative quality. It is far more eye-catching than Zhang Rishan's tattoo.

"I want to try this feeling too. Even though I have no relation to the Zhang family, having tattoos is still amazing!"

Hu Ming grinned, drew his sword, and charged towards the camp!
In a short time, the situation in the camp seemed to be under control, or rather, the one-sided battle had ended.

The sounds of explosions, gunshots, and shouts of killing quickly subsided.

His perfectly proportioned muscles began to pulsate, and a surge of power converged from every part of his body. In the blink of an eye, Hu Ming had already reached the edge of the camp!
scoff~~~
With a light slash of the precious sword, the Wang family members guarding the outermost perimeter didn't even have time to react before their throats were completely slit open.

The wound was so deep that it almost severed the entire neck, and glaring blood gushed out.

This strike was extremely precise; the vocal cords were completely destroyed. The guard clutched his neck, his eyes wide open, unable to utter a sound even for a split second before his breath stopped.

boom!
The body fell softly to the ground, and Hu Ming had already darted several meters away, his blade already aimed at the others.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yueshan and Hei Xiazi, those two ruthless guys, were no pushovers either. With cold smiles on their lips, they charged towards the camp from different directions, just like Hu Ming.

At this point, it no longer mattered whether any of the survivors in the camp were from the Nine Gates. As long as they came here, whether it was the Wang family or the Nine Gates, they were all targets for the three of them to eliminate!
In an instant, a silent massacre unfolded in the camp.

The camp was already stained with blood, and the smell of blood and gunpowder perfectly masked the movements of the three.

In just half a minute, the three men had silently eliminated all the guards on the perimeter, numbering around fourteen.

Tick-tock...

Blood dripped slowly from Hu Ming and Hei Xiazi's precious swords onto the ground. The swords were indeed excellent; they could kill without drawing blood!
Zhang Rishan's hands and fingers were also covered in blood. His dislike of weapons did not mean he was incapable of killing efficiently with his bare hands.

"..."

The team Su Nan brought was, after all, the only remaining elite force of the Wang family. Despite having the advantage of weaponry, coupled with the unexpected sneak attack, they were able to eliminate the Nine Gates members with minimal losses, which was enough to show that these people were no ordinary individuals.

The evidence is that at least 50% of the people behind Su Nan have two fingers on their right hand that are unusually long!
"Hu Ming, Zhang Rishan, Hei Xiazi!"

"I considered the possibility that you might be playing a game of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, but I never imagined that you would be so arrogant as to dare to face the elite force of the Wang family with just three people?"

Su Nan looked at the three people lounging lazily against the tent, took a deep breath, her face almost black with rage, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Behind Su Nan, there were nearly sixty people standing in neat rows, glaring fiercely at the three of them with the murderous aura of someone who had just killed someone.

The ground was littered with fresh corpses, lying haphazardly.

Most of them were from the Nine Gates, while a small number were brought by Su Nan.

On the blood-stained white sand, people who were not quite dead were still wailing. When they saw Hu Ming and the other two, their eyes lit up and their will to survive was instantly ignited.

"Save me!! Please, Chairman Zhang, Second Master, save me, I don't want to die..."

However.
Swoosh~~~ Knife…
