Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 424: Chapter 275: Second Tier_3

Sweat gathered at the brim of the hat and dripped onto the bridge of the nose.

Instinctively glancing at Yu Yue beside him, the latter happened to be looking over as well, with a trace of apprehension in his eyes.

Each collision was an ultimate clash of strength, leaving them no room to intervene.

Be it soundwaves or wind, in front of such ferocious power, they were no different from the tiles on the ground. Moreover, with their nerve reflex speed and combat awareness, they couldn’t predict the next move or position of the two combatants and didn’t dare to interfere rashly.

”No wonder the train conductor didn’t bring us along...”

”Is the gap between Tier One and Tier Two really this vast?”

Lin Jin watched the battle in the field, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

”Forget about the gap, just help me carry one,”

Mountain Goat tossed Bai Lu to Lin Jin, who saw the wounds inflicted on Bai Lu’s body from the fierce strikes, gritting his teeth, ”These beasts!”

Mountain Goat glanced at the man in the field whose gun movements were as swift as a dragon, hiding the chill in his eyes, ”He already held back. On the battlefield, life and death are relative; one can’t complain about getting killed. If you can walk away with your life, it’s as if King Yama has spared you.”

Lin Jin carefully hoisted Bai Lu onto his back, ”What about us?”

Mountain Goat replied cautiously, ”I don’t know if that man held back, but if we were to engage now, we’d only have a thirty percent chance...”

”Is the victory rate that low?”

Yu Jing asked, frowning.

Mountain Goat’s eyes, devoid of light, carried a hint of eeriness, ”A thirty percent chance of total annihilation!”

”Boom——”

Before the words were finished, Liang Kuan’s massive form was sent flying, crashing into a Roman pillar, collapsing like a mountain, with smoke and dust rising.

Liang Kuan’s body, broad like a city gate, was a fiery red, with three wounds appearing on his left thigh, right chest, and left shoulder. The shield in his hand, capable of deflecting artillery shells, now had a large hole in it.

”You’re not Tier Two?!”

Amid the smoke and dust, the wild voice of the man with the golden falcon came through, filled with disbelief.

His spear swung, stirring up a gust, blowing away the dust and revealing Liang Kuan sitting defeated on the ground.

Unlike the other train crew, the man with the golden falcon was even more astounded.

He wasn’t like the ”Fighting Master,” who merely enhanced the body without increasing combat experience.

The Tier Two ”Wandering God” was considered the most balanced melee combat profession among ”Defenders.”

Weapon mastery, speed, strength, explosiveness, neural reaction... all indispensable. Facing lower-level Evolvers, or even those at the same level, he could rely on high burst power for a one-hit kill.

But the man in front of him, with a Tier One profession and terrifying brute force, managed to engage him toe-to-toe, even suppressing him several times!

With Bai Lu and Giraffe, it was an appreciation for special talent.

Facing Liang Kuan, it was a fear and jealousy as if confronting a monster.

The man with the golden falcon walked towards Liang Kuan, ”If your endurance had reached Tier Two, or even just a little higher than now, I might not have been able to take you down...”

”Cover me!”

Mountain Goat wasted no words, carrying Giraffe and grabbing his assault rifle, firing at the man with the golden falcon.

Yu Jing’s Mechanical Puppet also stood in front of Liang Kuan, launching an attack on the man with the golden falcon.

”Clang!”

The man’s eyes went cold. With a thrust and a flick of his spear on the ground, a large piece of concrete flew out like rain of bullets.

Then he adjusted his aim, pulling the trigger at the Mechanical Puppet directly in front of him.

The cool blue light of the activated electromagnetic weapon glowed on the gun body, and the head of the Mechanical Puppet exploded, but under Yu Jing’s control, it still charged forward ferociously.

”Bang!”

The Mechanical Puppet couldn’t withstand even two moves in front of the man with the golden falcon, having three mechanical arms torn off and its longsword broken, flying out more wretchedly than Liang Kuan.

”Huff...”

A heavy breathing sound came.

Following the source of the sound, everyone saw Liang Kuan bracing against the collapsed Roman pillar, standing up, his body covered in fine cracks, his chest heaving like a storm.

”You all go out first.”

Lin Jin still wanted to say something, but Mountain Goat grabbed his hand, aiming the gun at the man with the golden falcon, retreating step by step.

The man with the golden falcon didn’t stop them but turned to look at Liang Kuan, his gaze deep.

”My task is just to stop you all, but if we keep fighting, it will lead to killing.”

Liang Kuan picked up the shattered shield from the ground, straightened his spine, his muscles and bones cracking like thunder, dark red heat steaming from his pores, distorting the air, his fierce tiger eyes staring at the golden falcon, his voice no longer dull but with an unwavering fierceness, ”He hasn’t fulfilled what he promised me yet, block me, and I’ll cut you down!”

(There will be another Chapter at midnight. Something’s up tomorrow and the day after, so it’s updated in advance. This storyline won’t be too long, the train conductor will wrap it up in the next Chapter.)
