"Damn it, the drug’s effect has worn off!!" Xiao Tian’s pupils contracted, a foreboding feeling surged into his heart instantly.

Just a moment ago, he had slapped away several Japanese military officers and special police in front of him, and the next moment, a wave of weakness washed over his entire body.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out. Xiao Tian staggered a couple of steps.

"Kill him!!"

"Ah!!!"

Countless Japanese soldiers swarmed like locusts, seemingly endless. Their faces distorted, weapons in hand, they plunged toward Xiao Tian in a frenzied attack.

Xiao Tian’s vision blurred. His mind buzzed, prolonged combat, coupled with bodily injuries and the drug’s side effects, had finally begun to wear down this man of seemingly iron-like constitution.

"No... I can’t die!!"

But he can’t fall!

Xiao Tian had indeed experienced despair before.

When Liu Hanyan sacrificed herself for him, Xiao Tian had wandered through a realm of pain, even contemplating death many times.

Times have changed, compared to back then, Xiao Tian has grown significantly; he is no longer that impulsive youth.

People eventually grow, and Xiao Tian has someone new to protect, new promises to keep.

Whether it’s his family, friends, or loved ones.

Faces of loved ones appeared before Xiao Tian. His eyes welled up, and after the tears came a violent killing intent that overcame him.

Even on the verge of death, he would turn the world upside down!

Woosh, woosh ————

The surrounding fierce wind enveloped Xiao Tian entirely, fallen leaves scattered like snow, and blood sprayed in all directions. The air was thick with a bizarre stench of blood. Those Japanese soldiers roared with fury, yet deep in their eyes, there lay an overwhelming fear of Xiao Tian.

"Die, all of you!!"

Xiao Tian couldn’t see the situation clearly anymore, he only knew one word.

Kill!

Xiao Tian swung his arms with ferocity, a fierce wind from his fists crashing into the crowd. Screams of misery echoed out.

Xiao Tian’s eyes were bloodshot; at this moment, it seemed he ignored all the pain in his body and threw punches with all his might!

Boom, boom, boom!

Punch shadows overlapped, and the screams resounded through the air!

Bam!

Xiao Tian’s fist was like a bomb, a surge of destructive power instantly erupted among the crowd.

The Japanese soldiers in front of Xiao Tian turned into a pool of blood and foam in an instant after being hit by his punch!

Xiao Tian roared as he slaughtered chaotically through the crowd.

In reality, a clock kept ticking in Xiao Tian’s mind. A countdown to the helicopter escaping Japanese territory.

----

At that very moment, from Huaxia’s side.

Whether it was military superiors or those political leaders who had managed to see Xiao Tian’s video through special channels, their eyes were cold, and their fists clenched tightly.

Beneath their solemn exterior lay a heart grieved profoundly.

With Xiao Tian’s desperate cover, the aircraft carrying Huaxia’s critical military data slowly entered Huaxia’s territorial waters. Instantly, numerous Huaxia fighter jets arrived to escort and protect it, leaving two white trails in the sky.

Countless in the Huaxia military watched this scene unfold, their hearts filled with joy and emotion.

Retrieving the data and acquiring Japan’s data in return should have been a cause for nationwide celebration, a victory to cheer for.

However, at this moment, the military and political circles of Huaxia remained exceptionally silent.

In a certain military command post within Huaxia, a group of leaders watched the video of Xiao Tian gradually being engulfed by the crowd, tears welling up in everyone’s eyes, standing in solemn tribute.

They understood that without Xiao Tian’s sacrifice, Huaxia’s crucial data would be thoroughly analyzed by Japan, significantly impacting the nation’s defense!

These leaders were influential figures within the military, but at this moment, their gazes toward Xiao Tian were filled with unabashed admiration and respect.

Everyone’s blood was hot. They fully comprehended Xiao Tian’s choice; if they were in his place, they too would unhesitatingly give their lives for the country.

One of the leaders couldn’t help but tremble with his hand, finally nodding with sorrow and helplessness, "Our military truly owes too much to the Zhong Family....."

The Zhong Family had devoted themselves exceedingly to Huaxia for over a decade, earning countless military merits. Their path was paved with glory, but the red carpet leading to it was forged from the blood of the Zhong Family, filling one with grief and heartache.

Watching the video of Xiao Tian being surrounded, his wounds multiplying, yet still cutting down enemies without pause, bodies falling around him, unwilling to give up.

"Everyone, stand!!"

The leader suddenly removed his cap, his expression profoundly serious.

No one hesitated; the entire command hall rose with numerous military superiors standing.

"Salute our hero, the god of the military, the Hunter!"

"Salute!!"

The room exploded with a cry filled with despair and sadness, yet overflowing with righteous fury. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Meanwhile, in the Zhong Family conference hall in the capital city.

Zhong Aiguo’s eyes were already bloodshot, watching the video feed showing Xiao Tian’s worsening injuries. His heart tore with agony.

At this moment, how he wished he could be the one hurt, to take Xiao Tian’s place in death! His son was only in his twenties!

Just moments ago, numerous leaders called to offer congratulations and praise. The military data had been retrieved, but his son had been lost in Japan.

Surrounding Xiao Tian, his several aunts were already sobbing uncontrollably, their cries filled with helplessness and despair.

Xiao Nianqing even fainted directly, being rushed into emergency care.

Once regarded as a grand military clan in Huaxia, the Zhong Family, after witnessing Xiao Tian’s situation, collapsed calamitously. The entire family was plunged into enormous grief.

Zhong Aiguo shakily removed his glasses. He was a stubborn man, a soldier of iron will.

But this time, this soldier of iron will shed tears. He sat on the couch, body numb, wiping tears that wouldn’t end.

For the first time, Zhong Aiguo considered retirement; he was tired, really tired....

------

Xiao Tian had transformed into a veritable demon of death, attacking without discipline, swinging wildly.

Xiao Tian’s vision blurred further. But his hands never stopped as he swiftly flashed his dagger, silver glints darting around him, slashing throats of the encroaching Japanese.

Even though Xiao Tian was extremely weakened, his long-cultivated combat instinct allowed him to slaughter enemies madly in such dire conditions!

The scene was extremely gory; the surroundings had long been dyed an extraordinary shade of red with copious amounts of blood.

Seeing the bodies strewn across the land, the senior command officers of the Japanese military couldn’t fathom their eyes; one Huaxia man had nearly obliterated their whole unit!!

At that moment, in the heart of Tokyo, the Prime Minister, witnessing this scene, was also filled with terror and a killing intent!
