Chapter 520 - Qing Hu’s Angry Punch

Chapter 520: Chapter 519: Qing Hu’s Angry PunchQing Hu charged in three different directions, only to find the corpses of three of his Heavenly Gang War General brothers. They had died miserably; the enemy was not only formidable but also cruel to an extreme degree. According to the two fallen Heavenly Gang War Generals, there were six opponents, and each one was incredibly powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been left without the strength to fight back.

Seeing the tragic deaths of his three Heavenly Gang War General brothers, Qing Hu trembled with anger, gripping his fists so tightly that his normally short fingernails still dug into his flesh. He felt no pain from it, for the agony in his heart was far greater. These three War Generals were not just his subordinates; they were brothers and comrades-in-arms who had shared life and death with him. His powerlessness in the face of their deaths was the most painful thing of all.

"Brother, hold on, I’ll take you back to get treated!" Qing Hu said to the Heavenly Gang War General, who had both his hands and feet cut off, as he tried his best to hold back his grief.

"No, Tiger... Tiger Team, in this state... there’s no meaning in living. You... you should leave quickly... There are six of them, all bald... and it seems they come from different nationalities, coming specifically to kill us Heavenly Gang War Generals... because... because..."

This War General, whose limbs were severed by the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves, clung desperately to life because none of his vital areas had been hit, which allowed him to hang on for a little while. Otherwise, he surely wouldn’t have been able to speak. However, as he spoke, he already started to struggle for breath, experiencing pain that ordinary people couldn’t endure. Yet, he didn’t scream out, trying to preserve that last bit of dignity as a Heavenly Gang War General.

"Brother, don’t talk..." Qing Hu said through gritted teeth.

The limbless Heavenly Gang War General shook his head at Qing Hu and said, "Tiger Team, I heard them... discussing who can kill more Heavenly Gang War Generals..."

Hearing this, Qing Hu’s head buzzed, and he furrowed his brows deeply, casting a cautious look all around. He hadn’t expected the enemy to utter such words. Such a statement was enough to enrage all the Heavenly Gang War Generals. The status of the Heavenly Gang War Generals in China was well known, and no one had ever dared to disdain them like this before. Yet these six bald foreigners had turned the killing of Heavenly Gang War Generals into a competition? It was infuriating. But amid his anger, Qing Hu retained his sense, for a rash person could never lead as a small team leader of the Heavenly Gang War Generals. The swift and lethal Slaughter Skill of the six bald enemies, as well as the wounds found on the three fallen brothers, indicated just how strong these opponents were. They wouldn’t dare disrespect the Heavenly Gang War Generals without significant strength.

"Puh..."

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and the Heavenly Gang War General whose limbs had been cut off by the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves couldn’t survive after all. After coughing out blood, he closed his eyes and died. Qing Hu sighed and laid the War General on the ground, knowing it wasn’t that his brother couldn’t survive, but rather it was the dignity of being a Heavenly Gang War General that mattered: a warrior could be killed but not humiliated.

Qing Hu stood up, sensing the severity of the situation. Although he was tremendously angry and wished to immediately find and kill all six bald enemies, his responsibility as the small team leader of the Heavenly Gang War Generals calmed him down. With the main team leader, Man Tian, absent, if he couldn’t stay collected, countless Heavenly Gang War Generals might die, and no one could bear the consequences of that.

With that in mind, Qing Hu picked up his communication device and said, "I’m at the 9 o’clock position to the south, everyone gather up!"

After a moment’s thought, Qing Hu picked up the communication device again, switched to a different channel, and said, "This is Qing Hu, I’m deep within the Original Forest. We’ve encountered a strong enemy and lost three brothers already. I now command you all, as the small team leader of the Heavenly Gang War Generals, no one is to enter the Original Forest before the main team leader Man Tian returns. Anyone who disobeys will face military punishment!"

At the Heavenly Gang War Generals’ main base, Qing Hu’s message was received, and all the Heavenly Gang War Generals who heard it were shocked. This was perhaps the greatest crisis the Heavenly Gang War Generals had ever faced. Many speculated about who these intruders in the Original Forest could be and how powerful they must be for small team leader Qing Hu to issue such a command.

With main team leader Man Tian still on his way, small team leader Qing Hu was now the highest-ranking officer, and everyone had to obey his orders. Despite their astonishment, the communication soldiers promptly relayed his command to all the Heavenly Gang War Generals, forbidding anyone from entering the Original Forest.

The great crisis the Heavenly Gang War Generals faced this time was something Qing Hu had never expected. The only information he had was that there were six enemies, all bald, of various heights and builds, and upon a single glance, one could tell they were of different nationalities. They were incredibly powerful, monstrously so. As for the identity of these six people, Qing Hu remained in the dark. Had he known that their attackers were members of the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves, he certainly wouldn’t have recklessly led ten Heavenly Gang War Generals into the Original Forest.

It wasn’t that he feared the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves. With Qing Hu’s fighting prowess, he might not have been able to kill them all, but at least he could have fought against any one member of the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves. Yet many matters couldn’t be resolved through sheer recklessness. The Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves was the most powerful assassin organization in the world, infamous and known to all. The enemy’s strength was indeed formidable – something that must be acknowledged. One cannot deny obvious facts when outmatched and still rush in to meet death. That would be nothing but self-deception and pure folly.

Qing Hu weighed his options. Given the situation, with the six bald enemies being very strong, he might still have a chance to fight them. However, if the other Heavenly Gang War Generals encountered them, it was uncertain. With three War Generals already dead, if the other eight who had gone in ahead had also died, it would mean that eleven Heavenly Gang War Generals had perished in just a few hours – a terrifying thought. If this news were to spread, it would shock every nation of the world.

Therefore, Qing Hu decided not to allow the remaining Heavenly Gang War Generals to act alone any longer. United together, they might still stand a chance in a battle against these six bald enemies. If they operated separately, encountering such formidable adversaries would only lead to them being defeated one by one.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

About five minutes later, several figures rushed out of the woods, running towards Qing Hu. They were the other seven Heavenly Gang War Generals who had responded to Qing Hu’s call at the first opportunity.

Splat!

Splat!

Splat!

Three bursts of blood flew into the air as the leading three Heavenly Gang War Generals charged out, only to be penetrated by iron chains tipped with iron spikes that also shot out from the woods, piercing their hearts. This sudden scene left even Qing Hu stunned; three more brothers from the Heavenly Gang War Generals had fallen. How formidable could this enemy be? So monstrously strong that they could kill the Heavenly Gang War Generals with such ease, instilling a sense of utter despair and collapse. It also side-confirmed the might of the Demon Mercenary Seven Wolves. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be known as the world’s strongest assassin mercenary group, nor would M country, D country, and Y country unite to hire them, offering astonishingly generous terms just to come to China and target the Heavenly Gang War Generals.

"Aargh!"

Qing Hu bellowed, and almost as fast as lightning, he sped towards the three fallen Heavenly Gang War Generals. They had been skewered by the iron spikes on the chains and pulled together—a clear sign that someone took advantage of their unguarded moment to strike, killing them all in one fell swoop.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A flash of blade light swept by, and Qing Hu forcefully severed all three iron chains. However, the three Heavenly Gang War General brothers had already collapsed, their hearts not just penetrated but completely shattered by the impact. Qing Hu rushed over as quickly as he could but was still a moment too late.

Clenching his teeth tightly, Qing Hu slowly got up from the ground, looking towards the woods from where the iron chains had come. He couldn’t contain his fury any longer—three more brothers of the Heavenly Gang War Generals had died before his eyes. They were more than comrades-in-arms; they were brothers, closer than family. Even the most stalwart human heart is no mere wood or grass, and can’t be devoid of emotion. Even the toughest of the Heavenly Gang War Generals shared a deep bond of friendship.

"Come out!"

He shouted furiously, punching towards the portion of the woods where the iron chains had originated.

Boom!

The explosion was deafening. Just one punch utterly obliterated the entire stretch of forest. Within a radius of several hundred meters, nothing was left standing. Such was the power of Qing Hu as a small team leader of the Heavenly Gang War Generals. In his rage, he had intended to wait for the return of the Man Tian main team leader, trying to avoid further conflict with these monstrously strong opponents. The saying went, it wasn’t fear of death, but rather the unwillingness to see more brothers of the Heavenly Gang War Generals lose their lives in a meaningless fight. It was folly and stupidity to act impulsively at such times. But now, his anger was beyond control. Even if it meant his own death, he would annihilate these foes to avenge his fallen brothers.

Qing Hu’s punch not only blew apart the woods dozens of meters away from him, but also sent dust and trees flying into the air, a testament to the sheer power of his strike. Yet, almost immediately, several figures emerged from the thick dust, each wielding different weapons and slowly approaching Qing Hu. Their murderous aura engulfed thousands of meters, startling Qing Hu— only two words came to his mind: incredibly strong! (To be continued...
