126: Chapter 126 The Battle Begins

Facing the pincer attack from both sides by the two Evolvers, Song Yang's mental power had already locked onto every movement they made.

"Roar!"

The burly man, built like an iron tower, let out a roar that didn't sound human, and the mountain-cleaving blade in his hand, as large as a door panel, was swung with such force that it whistled through the air, crashing down toward Song Yang's face with the weight of a thousand jun!

Before the blade even arrived, a fierce gust of wind had already struck.

Meanwhile, the skinny monkey knew clearly that in a direct confrontation, he was by no means a match for this "Blood Shadow Butcher," and coordinating with the iron tower's frontal assault to launch a sneak attack from the side was the best strategy.

In the blink of an eye, Song Yang moved.

The repulsion flight device under his feet emitted a hum, and his entire body shifted laterally to the left by an inch, like a weightless feather.

This seemingly tiny movement, however, perfectly avoided the sharpest edge of the mountain-cleaving blade.

The blade grazed his body and slammed heavily into empty space, instantly carving a deep, long crack into the hard rocky ground, sending gravel flying everywhere!

The iron tower's attack missed, and the massive momentum caused his movements to stall.

Now!

A cold light flashed in Song Yang's eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced, closing in on the iron tower.

At such a close distance, the iron tower's heavy blade instead became a burden, unable to be wielded effectively.

"Not good!"

The iron tower's internal alarm bells rang loudly; he wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.

A flash of red light streaked by.

That was the sound of a sharp blade slicing through muscle.

The blood fang in Song Yang's hand had, at some unknown moment, slashed across the burly man's thick neck.

Fresh blood surged out like a fountain, and the fierce expression on the iron tower's face instantly froze.

Everything happened in an instant, so fast that the twin blades in the skinny monkey's hands had only just been thrust halfway out!

Seeing the iron tower killed in a single exchange, the skinny monkey was terrified out of his wits; how could he have any desire to fight left?

He abandoned the attack without hesitation, pushed off with his feet, and retreated violently while screaming, "Enemy attack! It's the Blood Shadow..."

His cry came to an abrupt halt.

After Song Yang dealt with the iron tower, the repulsion flight device activated again, and he transformed into a blurry Afterimage, catching up to the fleeing skinny monkey.

"No..."

The skinny monkey's body stiffened; he looked down in disbelief, seeing a blood-stained blade tip protruding from his throat.

He wanted to beg for mercy, wanted to call for help, but discovered that he couldn't even make a single sound.

Song Yang withdrew the blood fang, and the skinny monkey's body collapsed to the ground, eyes wide open, dying with an undying grievance.

From the moment Song Yang appeared to the two Evolvers being killed, the entire process took only a few short seconds.

However, just as the skinny monkey fell, Song Yang's mental power jolted violently.

He noticed that before dying, the skinny monkey's limp hand was tightly clutching something, and a small metal ring on that object had already been pulled!

"Grenade!"

Song Yang's pupils contracted sharply.

This skinny monkey had actually pulled the pin on a high-explosive grenade hidden at his waist before dying!

He knew he was doomed, so he actually wanted to use this method to die together with Song Yang, or at least, to send out a final warning for the people deep in the cave!

"Madman!"

Song Yang had no time to think; he instantly cranked the power of the repulsion flight device under his feet to the maximum, and shot off like an arrow released from a bow toward the passage he had come from!

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar exploded suddenly within the karst cave!

The entire cave shook violently, and debris fell rustling from the stalactites overhead.

"What's going on?!"

"An earthquake?!"

"No, it's an explosion! It came from the entrance!"

Deep in the cave, the Evolvers and Soldiers who had been sitting or lying down, resting with their eyes closed, were scared out of their wits by the sudden loud noise and vibration, and they all jumped up.

"Quiet!"

Wearing a combat uniform, with graying hair, Zhang Zhengguo walked out from behind a rock.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

The response was uniform.

Eighteen Evolvers quickly assembled, each taking out their weapons, their expressions grave.

Over a hundred fully armed Soldiers also quickly took up combat positions, their muzzles aimed in unison toward the direction the explosion came from, forming a dense web of fire under the light of headlamps and tactical flashlights.

The entire team was well-trained, clearly having undergone rigorous training.

"Someone is coming! So fast!"

Everyone's gaze instantly focused.

At the end of the passage, a figure was flying toward them at a speed difficult for the naked eye to track.

The figure was wearing a hideous demon mask, appearing exceptionally eerie and terrifying under the flickering firelight and flashlight beams.

"It's him! That guy named Song!" an Evolver whispered.

Zhang Zhengguo's gaze sharpened, locking onto the rapidly approaching figure.

He noticed that behind the masked figure, in the more distant passage, there were vaguely more chaotic shadows moving, appearing to be surging in this direction as well.

"Prepare—" Zhang Zhengguo slowly raised his hand.

He didn't care who the person coming was, nor did he care what was following behind him.

Since they were an enemy, there was only one path: death.

"Fire!"

In an instant, hundreds of tongues of fire spat out, and a dense rain of bullets poured toward Song Yang like a storm!

Facing the dense rain of bullets rushing toward him, Song Yang flipped his wrist, and a huge, dark metal plate appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of him.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang——!"

Countless bullets struck the metal plate, bursting into clusters of dazzling sparks, yet they couldn't even leave a single white mark.

The durability of this spaceship wreckage far exceeded the destructive power of these conventional bullets.

The rain of bullets couldn't stop Song Yang in the slightest; he pushed forward with the metal plate, continuing his high-speed advance!

Zhang Zhengguo's expression turned somewhat ugly; he knew that conventional firepower was already ineffective.

"All Evolvers!"

Zhang Zhengguo shouted in a low voice, "Target, Song Yang! Surround and kill him, at all costs!"

He waved his hand violently, pointing at the rapidly charging Song Yang.

"Yes!"

The eighteen Evolvers, who had long been ready, responded in unison and moved to surround Song Yang from different directions.

"Kill!"

An Evolver with the most burly build, almost no less impressive than the previous iron tower, roared; he was holding a huge mountain-cleaving axe, pushed off with his feet, and leaped high into the air, his jump leaving a shallow pit in the rocky ground.

Song Yang was still holding the huge metal plate in his left hand, meeting the mountain-cleaving axe that was crashing down.

"Clang——!!!"

A deafening metallic clash resonated throughout the entire cave!

The burly Evolver felt an irresistible force coming from the axe handle; the web between his thumb and index finger instantly split open, dripping with blood!

The mountain-cleaving axe in his hand was directly knocked away, spinning a few times in the air before clattering onto the rocky ground in the distance.

"Pfft!"

The burly Evolver spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with unbelievable horror.

This metal plate was far harder than the alloy weapon in his hand.

And Song Yang, using this recoil force, spun his body violently!

The huge metal plate seemed as light as nothing in his hands, and as he spun, it transformed into a whirlwind of death, sweeping fiercely toward the skinny Evolver who was flanking from the left!

"Not good!"

The skinny Evolver's internal alarm bells went haywire; he had wanted to rely on his speed to launch a sneak attack, but he hadn't expected the opponent's reaction and change of moves to be so fast.

He wanted to retreat, but the speed at which the metal plate swept over was simply too fast, and its coverage was too wide!

The skinny Evolver's body was like it had been hit by a high-speed train; he was directly swatted away, crashed into the distant cave wall, and slid down, broken into two halves.

In one exchange, two Evolvers: one severely injured, one dead!

Song Yang's ferocity and power caused the remaining Evolvers preparing to pounce to freeze, fear flashing in their eyes.

"Trash!"

Zhang Zhengguo shouted angrily, "He is only one person! Press the attack! Wear him down!"

He could see that Song Yang's speed was extremely fast, bringing great explosive power, but this level of intensity must consume a huge amount of energy!

It wouldn't take long before Song Yang would be exhausted!
