Eight killers searched everywhere. Half an hour later, they still found nothing. Finally, the leading Masked Man became a little anxious.
This time, he had given the Family Head a military pledge. He must bring back Zhang Hao's head. But now, it seemed they couldn't even find the person, so how could they complete the mission? If that was the case, he would truly be punished by the Family Head.
"Boss, what should we do?" A killer couldn't help but look at the leader.
The leading killer, One, pondered for a moment and said, "Divide into four groups and search from the east, west, south, and north directions. If you find the target and can act, then act. If you can't act, send a signal flare to notify others for reinforcement."
The leading killer also thought it over carefully before making this decision. Although splitting up would disperse their strength, the killers of the Thunder Squad were all well-trained. Moreover, they were only dealing with one person, so there shouldn't be much trouble.
"Understood?"
"Understood!"
The eight killers scattered.
However, these killers of the Thunder Squad didn't know that their every move had fallen into Zhang Hao's eyes.
"Splitting up? Just as I wanted. Originally, with you all gathered together, it was difficult for me to act. But if you split up, it's convenient for me to defeat you one by one," Zhang Hao muttered with a smile.
Zhang Hao had seen the cultivation levels of these killers. The highest was the leading killer, a Martial Master (8th Layer), who was also the most troublesome one. However, although Zhang Hao's current cultivation was only Martial Master (3rd Layer), he wasn't without the power to fight when using all his means. Of course, that was in a one-on-one situation.
However, now that he was preparing to defeat them one by one, Zhang Hao naturally wouldn't pick the strongest leader first. He planned to take care of the other killers first.
Zhang Hao followed behind two of the killers. These two killers were at the Martial Master (6th Layer). Although their strength was not weak, Zhang Hao didn't pay too much attention to them.
"Ah Feng, wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?" another killer asked.
"I need to relieve myself!" The previous killer smiled awkwardly, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Hurry up, you're really slow like a lazy donkey."
The killer turned his head. He vigilantly looked at other places. He muttered, "Strange, why hasn't the target appeared yet? Did he really leave here?"
"Who cares, whether it's successful or not, the boss will handle it anyway," the killer mumbled.
Hiding nearby, Zhang Hao saw this, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: This is a good opportunity. Seizing the timing, Zhang Hao quietly pounced forward.
That killer was enjoying relieving himself, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Suddenly, a dark figure flashed before his eyes. The killer wouldn't have been so easily caught by Zhang Hao normally. But firstly, his companion was nearby, and secondly, he was relieving himself at that moment, which was when he was most relaxed. He never expected that Zhang Hao had already targeted them.
"Crack!"
The killer's neck was twisted and broken. The sound wasn't very loud, and it happened just as a bird nearby took flight and chirped, covering the subtle sound. The killer standing guard nearby didn't hear it at all.
"Congratulations, Host, for killing a Thunder Squad killer, Experience Points +6000!"
Perhaps because he hadn't heard his companion's voice for a long time. The killer who was previously standing guard felt quite strange. He couldn't help but shout, "Ah Shui, are you done? It's taking so long?"
"Huh!"
The killer named Ah Feng felt a bit strange. He turned his head to look. He found that Ah Shui was still maintaining his original standing posture. Knowing something was wrong, he quickly walked towards Ah Shui.
"Ah Shui, what's wrong? What are you spacing out for?" The killer gently patted his companion's shoulder.
Strangely, his companion's body suddenly fell down.
"Ah Shui!"
The killer was shocked, his mind trembled slightly.
Just as his companion fell. A person stood there, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Puchi!"
With a sound.
A sword swept out horizontally, severing the killer's neck.
"Congratulations, Player Zhang Hao, for killing a Thunder Squad killer, Experience Points +5000!"
Damn, there's nothing, what a poor guy!
Finally, two people are dealt with. There are still six left, just wait.
The two killers in the west had been searching for half an hour but still found nothing.
"Swish!" A figure flashed.
One of the killers discovered someone in front. He quickly shouted, "Who's there!"
Both of them were startled. They immediately chased forward. But in the dark jungle, everything before their eyes was empty, there was no one there, which made the two killers feel a shock in their hearts.
"No one! How is that possible? Number 5, that shouldn't have been my illusion just now, there should be someone here, we must..."
Before one of the killers could finish speaking, a sharp saber light slashed out from behind a large tree behind him. Although this strike had no fancy moves, it was fast, fierce, and sharp. The angle of the strike just formed a blind spot.
That killer would never have expected someone to launch an attack at this moment. Moreover, the distance was too close. By the time the killer reacted, it was already too late.
However, at the most critical moment, that killer still reacted. He forcefully swayed his body to the side.
With a "Puchi!" sound. This strike still chopped off the killer's arm at the wrist.
The first strike didn't kill the killer. But a second strike quickly appeared again. An even sharper strike enveloped the killer.
The other killer finally reacted. He roared, "Stop!"
"Swish!" The other killer naturally wouldn't let his companion be killed like this. He thrust a sword towards the attacking Zhang Hao.
"Hmph!"
Zhang Hao pushed off the tree with his foot, and his whole body shot backward like an arrow released from a bowstring. He avoided the sword attack. The next second, he appeared beside the previous killer.
That killer's arm was chopped off by a saber, and he lost a lot of blood. At this moment, he had already lost his combat ability. Seeing Zhang Hao pounce, he was greatly alarmed and quickly fled backward.
"Hehe! Want to escape! You'll have to see if I agree!"
Zhang Hao unfolded his Swallow Shadow Drift movement technique and chased after him. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the killer, and the Snow Drinking Saber slashed out. In the dark night, the sharp saber light swept across like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
With a "Puchi!" sound. The saber light cut across the killer's head.
Immediately, a head flew off his shoulders, accompanied by a dense stream of blood.
Due to inertia, the body still ran forward a few steps before falling to the ground.
"Congratulations, Player Zhang Hao, for killing a Thunder Squad killer, Experience Points +6000!"
Zhang Hao didn't look at him again but swept towards the other killer. It took a while to describe, but it actually only took a few breaths of time.
The other killer was greatly alarmed when he saw his companion instantly killed. He quickly took out a signal flare, just about to shoot it. But how could Zhang Hao let him succeed?
"Put it down!"
Zhang Hao's strike was fast and swift, slashing down towards the killer's body with the momentum of sweeping away a thousand armies.
The terrifying saber energy seemed to want to split the void in half.
The killer didn't have time to open the signal flare. He retreated a few steps and simultaneously thrust a sword towards Zhang Hao.
