114: The Red Alert forces suffered a crushing defeat.

Zhang Yong flashed into the air, nimbly dodging the incoming bullets. However, the missiles fired by the multifunctional infantry vehicles seemed to have eyes of their own, constantly chasing Zhang Yong and exploding around him. Zhang Yong, who was already injured, was now completely infuriated.

Small lotuses, like flowers scattered by a heavenly maiden, swarmed toward Wei He's Red Alert Troops. The pursuing missiles were also struck by the lotuses, and both missiles and lotuses exploded one after another in the air.

The American Soldiers' m60 machine guns spat tongues of fire. Many lotuses were also shot down by the machine gun bullets, exploding upon impact. However, even more lotuses continued to swarm toward the Red Alert Troops.

The American Soldiers exposed outside were directly pierced by the lotuses, with bowl-sized bloody holes appearing in their chests. After all the American Soldiers were eliminated, the multifunctional infantry vehicles followed, exploding one by one. Finally, these lotuses concentrated around the anti-air tracked vehicles.

Seeing this, Wei He immediately activated Golden Body Protection and grabbed the qingxia demon blade beside him to shield himself. The petals of the small lotuses spun, eventually drilling through the iron plating of the anti-air tracked vehicle.

After entering the anti-air tracked vehicle, they attacked Wei He. Holding the demon blade in front of him, Wei He slashed at the lotuses one by one. Although these lotuses were incredibly hard, they were still slightly inferior to the tough and sharp demon blade.

The demon blade cut through these lotuses as easily as a kitchen knife through tofu. With just a light stroke from Wei He, the lotuses flying in the air were split in two and shattered. The entire carriage was filled with lotus fragments. As more lotuses drilled through the anti-air tracked vehicle, the entire vehicle became riddled with holes.

Wei He simply held the demon blade horizontally and sliced the anti-air tracked vehicle in half before jumping out. Looking at the numerous lotuses flying around him, he felt no fear. After all, he now had Golden Body Protection; these lotuses wouldn't be able to pierce his body for a while, and the demon blade would strike them all down to the ground.

Zhang Yong watched as his lotuses were all struck down by Wei He. He was especially furious when he saw that the demon blade was the very weapon that had destroyed his giant lotus in the Dark Forest last time.

Zhang Yong flew forward to engage Wei He in battle. Originally, Wei He's level was far below Zhang Yong's, making him no match. Fortunately, Zhang Yong's close-quarters combat was truly poor, and coupled with Wei He's heaven-defying treasure—the demon blade—even wild swinging kept Zhang Yong from being able to attack him.

"Wow, this blade of yours is truly good! It's incredibly sharp, actually able to break so many of my lotuses. My lotuses are very hard! Are you also one of Wei He's subordinates? Wei He is already dead; why don't you join our World Destruction Alliance with him!" Because Wei He was currently using Golden Body Protection, and Zhang Yong believed he had already put Wei He's head in his bag, he didn't recognize the person in front of him and was even trying to recruit him.

"Sure, as long as you tell me who exactly wants to kill the Lord. Then I'll agree to join the World Destruction Alliance!" While swinging the demon blade, Wei He set his conditions for Zhang Yong.

"You really are loyal. However, your level is too low. You're no match for me, and certainly no match for the employer behind the scenes. I advise you to give up!" Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage in close-quarters combat, Zhang Yong flew backward to distance himself from Wei He.

During the fight, Wei He was scratched by the lotuses in Zhang Yong's hands. Inevitably, Zhang Yong's skin was also cut by Wei He's demon blade, leaving a shallow wound. It was a pity that Wei He's Supernatural Ability level was too low. If it were a battle between those of the same level, this one strike would have cut Zhang Yong in half at the waist.

Touching his wound, Zhang Yong said disdainfully, "Anyway, today's mission is complete. Think carefully about what I told you. Killing you is easy for me; don't do something as foolish as seeking revenge anymore!"

After saying this, Zhang Yong leaped into the air. Wei He, holding the demon blade, could only stand helplessly on the spot, watching Zhang Yong flee into the sky. The dozens of Rocket Troopers who had come along also gave chase.

Seeing the pursuing Rocket Troopers, Zhang Yong couldn't help but complain, "No wonder the employer spent so much money to kill this Wei He. His subordinates are both loyal and unafraid of death. People like this would be seen as a thorn in anyone's side, no matter where they are!"

The Rocket Troopers' bullets rained down on Zhang Yong like a storm. Zhang Yong repeated his old trick, scattering small lotuses like a heavenly maiden toward the Rocket Troopers. The Rocket Troopers' fragile protective suits were no match for the lotuses' attacks; they exploded one after another and fell to the ground. Zhang Yong simply snorted and then disappeared from Wei He's sight.

Wei He stood on the spot, looking at the mess all over the ground—the exploded tanks and the soldiers who had died miserable deaths. This was all the price Wei He paid for wanting to capture Zhang Yong alive.

Wei He couldn't worry about anything else now. He walked over and helped up Huang Yichen and Linlin. Fortunately, all three of them were now three-star red alert soldiers, and their injuries were slowly healing.

"Linlin, how are you? Are you okay?" Wei He looked at Linlin's originally bright and clean pink dress, which was now dirty with bloodstains, and spoke apologetically.

"Oh, it's nothing. I feel an energy inside my body quickly healing the injuries. I'll be fine soon!" Linlin looked at Wei He with a grin and said happily, "This demon blade is so powerful; even a Zhentian Level Ability User can't get close!"

"It's a pity that despite losing so many troops to capture him alive, he still managed to escape. It seems the power of levels is truly formidable!" Wei He shook his head, tossed the demon blade onto the ground, and spoke slowly.

"It's okay. If we didn't win this time, we can find another way. Besides, it's not like you can't beat him. Don't you also have God-Demon Level subordinates? Were you afraid their power would be too great and they'd destroy Zhang Yong directly, leaving no way to find out who the employer is? That's why you didn't send them into battle!" With a roll of her eyes, Linlin knew what Wei He was thinking. She had seen the prowess of the Chrono Legionnaires and Radiation Engineers, so she spoke quite openly.

"True, but I believe he'll be back soon. Hehe!" Wei He looked confident. Soon after, a night hawk helicopter carrying a new Spy landed in front of the three of them.

Wei He also returned to his normal state from Golden Body Protection, while the Spy disguised himself as Wei He once again. The four of them boarded the night hawk helicopter and flew toward the Kodo Beast Hills.

Zhang Yong had just returned to Kongdi City and taken out his bag, calculating how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures he would get this time. He muttered to himself, "This Wei He's head is really worth a lot of money, hahaha. I've killed Lords before, but none were as valuable as this guy. But seeing the state of his subordinates, he's worth the price!"

"Ah, where's the head? Where did it go? What is this?" Zhang Yong looked at the powder in the bag, his eyebrows shooting up. He kept reaching into the bag, searching through the powder as if trying to find Wei He's head in the dust.
