Chapter 253: Chapter 195: Witness the Pinnacle of Human Strength_2

The other soldiers stood ready, the cold metallic sheen of their firearms flickering in their hands, pairs of eyes beneath their helmets fixed intently ahead.

The siege tightened even further, the air itself seemingly beginning to solidify.

A battle, heavy with the taste of gunpowder, was on the verge of erupting.

However, at that moment.

A series of urgent footsteps echoed from inside the building.

Soldiers stationed at the main entrance were instantly on alert, fingers tight on the triggers, weapons raised in unison.

The beam from the searchlight pierced the pitch-black portal, faintly revealing the silhouettes of two bedraggled, blood-stained figures.

It seemed they were survivors.

The two survivors staggered forward, one of them with a leg injury but still stubbornly limping on, desperately trying to run out.

Once they emerged, they raised their hands to shield their eyes from the glaring light, their expressions revealing extreme panic.

Upon seeing the military encirclement outside, they immediately began shouting:

"Don’t shoot, it’s us, we are from the Special Search Team!"

The two survivors were none other than the white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman.

"Wait, hold your fire for now, bring them over."

Colonel Deng recognized the two and immediately issued the order.

However, the white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman didn’t retreat behind the defensive line straight away.

Instead, they turned to look back at the hall still enveloped in darkness, shouting with all their might:

"Commander, come out quickly, the reinforcement troops have arrived!"

Their voices grew hoarse from the shouting, the tone laden with urgency and concern.

At that moment, a series of quite intense noises came from inside the building.

It was as if an iron whip was slicing through the air, emitting a spine-chilling whistling sound.

And like a heavy hammer continuously pounding the ground, kicking up fragments of brick and stone in all directions.

It sounded as though a perilous battle beyond ordinary imagination was unfolding within the corridors.

Then, a man’s voice traveled from the depths of the dark, gradually getting louder as it approached:

"You two do not wait for me, evacuate to a safe place right away."

That voice sounded relatively calm, then it raised a few decibels, shouting towards the outside of the building:

"Everyone prepare for battle, when I lead the target out, you’ll concentrate fire and attack!"

The shout seemed to come from someone of high rank and authority, who issued commands to the troops stationed outside with an undeniable force.

The white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman heeded the words and obediently acted accordingly.

Both quickly retreated while yelling to the other soldiers, repeating the command.

Evidently, a Special Search Team commander was heroically holding off the pursuing monster from behind to cover the escape of his two subordinates.

Colonel Deng narrowed his eyes and then changed the combat plan through the walkie-talkie:

"Assault teams stand by for now, all others stand firm, ready for combat on my command."

Just as he had made the adjustments.

There was a "crash" sound as if glass had been smashed by something heavy.

A figure suddenly burst out from the darkness and ran towards the main entrance of the building.

"It’s the commander, don’t shoot yet!"

The white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman shouted anxiously upon seeing this.

They were worried the soldiers would shoot prematurely and accidentally hit one of their own.

The figure was already incredibly fast, dashing through the terrifyingly dark hall like a bolt of lightning.

When reaching the entrance, with some kind of squatting and stepping maneuver, their body, like a spring, "whooshed" and accelerated once again.

So fast that the soldiers behind the line hadn’t even reacted before the figure burst outside, reaching the blockade ahead.

"The monster has come out, fire now!"

The person’s breathing remained remarkably steady, sprinting a hundred meters while still being able to shout loudly.

As the voice trailed off, they leaped over several barricades effortlessly and landed behind the defensive line.

The soldiers wore expressions of astonishment, nearly unable to restrain themselves from pulling the trigger.

Fortunately, they were well-trained elite troops who would not rashly shoot without the command to engage.

They watched as another shadow appeared from the building behind, seeming to crawl out from the darkness of Hell.

Colonel Deng’s pupils constricted, his heart skipped a beat, and he decisively shouted:

"Open fire, focus your attack on that monster behind!"

Almost at the exact moment the figure crossed the defensive line, the sound of gunfire erupted like popping beans.

Several heavy machine guns mounted on armored vehicles roared to life, tongues of fire frantic as they licked the space ahead, bullets pouring like rain.

The soldiers also began firing; their assault rifles spitting hot flames, weaving a dazzling and deadly web of fire.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

Countless bullets swept over the concrete floor, kicking up fragments of rock and brick, and leaving dense clusters of holes as if a metal storm had just passed.

With such a violent barrage of fire, it’s hard to imagine any creature surviving.

The white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman were quite excited as they watched the scene in front of them.

They then went to greet the officer who had also safely escaped from the Demon Cave, wanting to express their gratitude.

"Shh——"

Fang Cheng gestured to them with his mouth, signaling that the battle was not over yet.

The two felt a chill in their hearts and immediately turned their heads, looking towards the front line.

Amidst the hail of bullets, the terrifying creature stood firm, seemingly unscathed.

The dark red Bone Spurs formed an extremely tight shield, protecting its entire body.

The bullets that hit it only sparked a series of flashes that disappeared as quickly as fireworks in the night sky.

Immediately after, the creature let out a roar.

The sound waves, substantial as they were, vibrated outward, causing broken glass from the surrounding buildings to fall.

Many soldiers who were close by were shaken by this Strength until their ears rang, losing their balance and falling to the ground.

A barrage of gunfire had come down and yet barely inflicted any damage on it.

Jiang Chen calmly retracted his Bone Spur shield, surprised at first by the grandeur of the human response.

Realizing their attacks were so ineffective, he let out a mocking laughter:

"Heh heh, mere firearms daring to challenge me, what naive thinking. Humans of this age are still so weak..."

His entire skeleton seemed to be made of some kind of hard metal; even without the Bone Spur shield, ordinary bullets struck him as if they were mere insect bites.

Fang Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and he ordered in a deep voice:

"The gunfire isn’t enough, use cannons and missiles."

Colonel Deng didn’t need his reminder to give the combat orders.

Several infantry fighting vehicles roared forward, their turret cannons rotating and spewing hot flames.

The powerful shells, carrying a breath of destruction, whistled down towards the monster’s location.

But as the smoke and fire cleared, Jiang Chen’s figure still stood proudly.

The barrage of shells had only left a few shallow dents and cracks in the hard Bone Spur shield.

"Not enough, still not enough. Put in more effort, let me see your greatest strength."

Having blocked the attack again, he became even more arrogant, his mockery intensifying.

His body then moved slightly, withstanding another cannon fire and stepping forward, he said in a stern voice:

"Otherwise, I’m going to unleash my power..."

Sensing the futility of human weapons, he was ready to start his offensive, savoring a feast of slaughter.

But before he could finish speaking, a "swoosh" sound was heard.

A whistling missile, trailing flames, shot overhead towards him.

Boom——

A crimson flame blossomed, and a hot blast shot up into the sky.

With a tremendous explosion, dense smoke swept across like a sandstorm, and broken concrete fell like rain hundreds of meters away.

The blast was so powerful that even nearby barricades were flipped away.

As the smoke slowly dispersed from the aftermath of the explosion, a skeleton, stark white and towering in the ruins, stood tall, its eyes emitting a sinister green glow.

The Bone Spurs that had served as a shield were now shattered into a spiderweb pattern.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, only to see that the creature moved again. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Then, in a sudden leap, it shot into the air, careering off in another direction.

It seemed to have finally realized the danger and wanted to escape.

Colonel Deng’s forehead veins bulged, as he shouted:

"Keep firing missiles, don’t stop!"

If one wasn’t enough, then two; if two weren’t enough, then three.

Their determination was not to rest until their opponent was completely blasted to bits.

The pilots received the order, pressing the launch button again.

This time, two massive missiles, with humanity’s rage, shot towards the creature.

Jiang Chen, caught mid-leap by the missile lock-on, collided with them unprepared, and a thunderous explosion sounded.

The powerful impact sent his body flying dozens of meters, slamming it against the wall of a building.

Then with a "clatter," he fell down, his skeleton scattering on the ground.

For a long while, there was no further movement.

Jiang Chen, who had initially seemed like a demon god incarnate, invincible, now appeared to have met his bitter end.
