Chapter 78 Blood and Tiger
In his most recent martial arts sparring session with Shen Xianke, Lu Zhao used all his auxiliary skills. Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level, he fought for dozens of rounds without a clear winner. However, this does not mean that he is no match for Shen Xianke.
The exceptionally talented girl didn't use any special skills, but Lu Zhao didn't use even more.
If he were to fight freely, he would be unmatched among those of the same realm, and the chances of someone a realm higher than him being very slim.
So, to kill the fat man in front of him, Lu Zhao didn't bother to fight him head-on. Instead, he took a shortcut, using the shockwave from the fight to force him back, and launched the Golden Finger in a posture that didn't look like he was about to make a move.
This special skill is far more lethal than a bullet. Moreover, he has the cultivation method taught by Zhou Changsheng, and his internal energy is far more powerful than that of ordinary people. So even if the fat man with the hammer reaches the Steel Bone Realm, he can't withstand it with his body.
Of course, the most important reason for his success was that no one expected him to possess more than one special skill, considering he was only at the Iron Body Realm.
Based solely on this information gap, he can exert influence beyond his current level.
"I wonder if killing enemies now will count as part of my assessment results, and if so, I can be assigned a better military guard position."
"Ha, that's assuming we can actually land. If the entire transport ship is lost, then everyone will die."
"Fine, I'll trust Old Ji."
【Heart as still as water】
He used a special skill to dispel distracting thoughts, walked up to the dead fat man, inserted the light blade into the small hole in the man's heart, and spun it around.
On one hand, it was to finish off the victim; on the other hand, it was to damage the wound and prevent others from recognizing that the person had died from the "jaw-carving" technique.
Then, Lu Zhao carried Shi Jian into a nearby alley and hid him there, before continuing to run in the direction Zhang Zilian had left.
He just couldn't understand it.
"Why let the stone drag here?"
As he was pondering this, he suddenly heard a groan from beside him.
"save..."
Lu Zhao turned around and saw half a person peeking out from the pile of rubble where the broken wall had collapsed. Judging from his attire, he was an old soldier.
He quickly went over and dragged the person out, and found that the person's entire chest cavity was slightly caved in, but it seemed that the internal organs were not injured by the broken ribs. It could only be said that he was very lucky.
"Run! That fat guy... he's too strong... he punched me in one go..."
"Stop talking, I've already killed the fat man."
What?
The veteran was immediately speechless, but thinking about it, he realized that he had been saved, so what the new recruit said must be true. However, he couldn't turn his neck to see what had happened at the intersection.
Lu Zhao began to examine his body to see if there were any wounds that needed immediate treatment, and said, "Brother, since you still have energy, don't just stand there, tell me what just happened."

The veteran's face stiffened.
Didn't you say you wouldn't let me speak?
A few minutes ago.
Zhang Zilian and Shi Jian were unable to continue forward. The two hid behind a broken wall and spied on a group of enemies marching down the street through a small hole.
"Oh no, they're heading towards the wounded," Zhang Zilian whispered, his expression urgent.
Shi Jian immediately started to roll over, saying, "I'll go and kill them all."
Splash!
Zhang Zilian pulled him back: "Bullshit, didn't you see that guy with the hammer? Judging by his size, he's clearly someone we can't handle."
It's impossible to judge a small person's strength by their appearance, but a large person is generally not weak.
Just like Chen Qinhu, after a period of cultivation, he grew to over two meters tall.
Shi Jian was annoyed: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Can you handle those dozen or so henchmen?"
"no problem."
"I'll lure the guy with the hammer away, and you take the opportunity to kill the rest, then come find me. We can't let them find the wounded."
"it is good."
The two hit it off immediately and then began to take action.
However, Zhang Zilian did not actually understand Shi Jian's combat strength. He compared Shi Jian to Lu Zhao and believed that Shi Jian could easily kill a squad of ordinary enemy soldiers.
In reality, Shi Jian is only good at surviving. He might be able to drag someone down with a difficult battle and eventually kill them, but it's not that safe. After all, his martial arts skills are rudimentary, and he hasn't mastered any special skills yet.
The veteran recalled with difficulty: "...I happened to come over when they split up, so I went to help the recruit who was being attacked. But for some reason, the guy with the hammer came back after a short while. Before I could do anything, he punched me into the wall."
Lu Zhao had no choice but to do what he had done before: drag the wounded man into a nearby hiding place and then continue chasing after the direction in which Zhang Zilian had disappeared.
But he can't help but worry now.
"Why is the fat guy with the hammer back? Has Zhang Zilian already been killed?"
He could only continue chasing forward, passing through two more walls of fog, killing a few unlucky enemies along the way, and finally seeing his own people again.
The battle here is basically over, and it was a victory for our side. Only a few enemies are still putting up a stubborn resistance. A burly figure is chasing after them, wielding a heavy two-handed axe in one hand and hacking away.
Lu Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the burly man; it was Chen Qinhu.
The creature was covered in blood, wielding a giant axe. With each swing, it let out a terrifying scream, like a demon from the underworld.
Lu Zhao was in a difficult position because he realized he was wrong.
I originally thought that Chen Qinhu would be so afraid that he would just cry and kill people when he went to the battlefield.
But now it turns out that this guy is really scared, but he doesn't cry; instead, he releases his fear by roaring.
Little did he know that this move would make the enemy even more afraid than he was.
"We surrender!"
"Don't kill me!"
However, Chen Qinhu was in a state of fear and didn't hear what they were shouting at all.
Pfft, pfft.
He chopped off both of their heads with one axe stroke.
Seeing the gushing blood fountain, Chen Qinhu became even more frightened, and then roared to the sky with an even louder voice.
"6
'
Lu Zhao thought to himself, "Shi Jian and Chen Qinhu, this pair of 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick' are clearly super straightforward and extremely cowardly, but when they start killing people, they're like madmen."
"At the very least, it has a strong presence."
He ran ahead, calling out, "Tiger!"
A call brought Chen Qinhu back from his madness.
"Zhao~"
His voice was a little hoarse, "Ugh."
After dry heaving a few times, he seemed to have something urgent to attend to, and immediately sat up and said, "Quickly go save Shi Jian! A very powerful fat man is heading towards him!"
Lu Zhao laughed and said, "No need, I've already taken care of that fat guy."
Chen Qinhu was stunned for a moment, but without suspecting anything, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and went back to dry heaving.
Lu Zhao went up and asked, "Where's Zhang Zilian? Have you seen him? I heard that the fat man was lured away by him, but for some reason he went back to Shi Jian's place."
So Chen Qinhu, while vomiting, explained what had happened.
Just now, Zhang Zilian led the fat man with the hammer here and encountered a large group of dozens of people, and it just so happened that his uncle Zhang Qiu was leading the group, with Chen Qinhu, Yang Guangming, and Murong Can also among them.
Zhang Qiu received orders to go to the front to provide support and could not stay. So he sent a team, including Chen Qinhu, to quickly surround and kill the fat man and then go back to support Shi Jian.
"That team only had one officer, Uncle Zhang, and since Zhang Zilian was good at organizing, they recruited him and sent him to the front lines to fight alongside the main force."
Lu Zhao asked, "Then how did you manage to let that fat guy get away again?"
Chen Qinhu sighed, "After Zhang Zilian and the others left, we were besieging that fat guy when suddenly someone flew through the sky! He really was flying! Believe me!"
"I believe you, please continue."
Lu Zhao knew some special skills that allowed people to fly or glide, but they were definitely experts.
"Yeah, that was the enemy. He didn't come down to help; he just threw something down, and then there was an explosion."
He pointed to his clothes, which indeed had a lot of scorch marks.
"When I rushed out of the fire, most of my dozen or so men were dead, and many more enemies appeared around us. The fat man had already run far back to Shijian."
Chen Qinhu said dejectedly, "We're surrounded by those enemies and have no way to escape. We can only deal with the enemies in front of us first, and then, and then..."
Then you killed them all.
Lu Zhao gestured to him that he didn't need to say anything more. The enemy definitely didn't expect there to be a talented monster here who was preparing to master the Turtle Shell Divine Skill. They thought they could win by outnumbering the enemy, so they beat him up. Afterwards, they found that this guy was completely unharmed, and then they were dumbfounded.
"Thankfully, we're all alright."
Lu Zhao was relieved. Zhang, Yang, and Murong had all gone with Zhang Qiu to support the front lines. In short, they were in the main force, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
He glanced around again and saw five or six other people, all with some injuries.
"I still want to catch up with the main force. Here's what you do: treat these wounded men's injuries on the spot, then go back to find Shi Jian. There's another veteran there besides him. Take them with you, and then go to the training armory to gather the wounded together. I'll see if I can contact the medical team and have them go there to treat them."
Chen Qinhu immediately nodded in agreement.
Lu Zhao then headed towards Zhang Zilian's direction again, but this time he was catching up with the main group.
Having experienced several real battles, he gained a more concrete understanding of his own combat capabilities.
"Looks like I'm pretty strong after all."
He had barely been feeling smug for two seconds when he saw a golden figure rise up on a tall building in the distance. Then, with a crash, a giant purple blade descended from the sky. The golden figure parried it with its fist, and the building collapsed.
cough cough.
Lu Zhao was a little embarrassed, so he added a qualifier: "On the front lines, I'm pretty strong."
Of course, this is not bragging. Among the three realms of Foundation Establishment, he is indeed in a class of his own. Only those who reach Shen Xianke's level are qualified to exchange blows with him.
"We all survived, so she should be fine too."
His steps were much lighter than before; the battle seemed to be going much better than expected, at least none of the people he knew had been hurt.
As he thought about it, he crawled through the fog wall.
Then he saw a scene that made his hands and feet go cold.
Ahead lay a scene of severed limbs and blood-soaked streets. The commander of the group, Zhang Zilian's uncle Zhang Qiu, was pinned to the third-floor exterior wall of a building by a long spear, with blood streaming down the wall in a long line.
On the ground, the dozens of soldiers he led lay in pools of blood, some still convulsing, others already dead.
