At this moment, the four teleportation arrays in the public area were caught in chaotic battles.
Tianheng's captain, Zhu Yuan, was holding off several enemies alone while his teammates were trying to break through.
Hot Blood had already lost a vice-captain, Wang Gang. The captain, Xu Jun, was working with his teammates, attempting to find a breakthrough point.
On the Fierce Tiger side, Li Biao was entangled with a Ronin Swordsman, Yuan Zhu charged into the crowd, and Chen Yueling was targeted by three Ninjutsu Masters. Hua Ziyan and Su Nuannuan were in grave danger.
As the commander-in-chief of this Dawn Operation, Zhu Yuan shouted in a deep voice, "All team members, do not engage in prolonged battles! Move toward Su Nuannuan and prepare to break through!"
Su Nuannuan was the only doctor among the three teams, their only healer, making her safety crucial for everyone.
Except for those being tightly restrained by top experts, the rest immediately converged toward Su Nuannuan and Hua Ziyan.
"We have to force our way through! If anyone blocks us, Tianheng Team will intercept them first!", Zhu Yuan roared furiously, "Follow me, charge!"
With that, he led over ten people toward the enemies in the southeast.
A furious shout rang out behind them, "Trying to escape? Dream on!"
Hochman then charged forward like a wild beast.
This guy wasn't someone ordinary people could handle.
"I'll hold him off, you guys go!", Hot Blood's captain, Xu Jun, turned around and charged at Hochman, "Remember, you must complete the mission!"
As the captain of Hot Blood, Xu Jun had witnessed Hochman kill his vice-captain. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Hochman, I'll cut you down!"
Hochman laughed wildly. Seeing Xu Jun rush toward him, his excitement only grew.
Xu Jun flashed in front of Hochman, attacking his lower body with his sword before suddenly lifting it. The long sword slashed across Hochman's left abdomen, leaving a deep bloody mark.
But after landing the hit, Xu Jun was stunned, staring at Hochman in disbelief.
"How can his physical body have such strong defense?"
Logically, that strike should have done much more than just leave a wound.
No wonder Wang Gang, who was also quite strong, had launched multiple ferocious attacks, landed several hits, yet still failed to kill Hochman.
Hochman wiped the blood from his wound, licked it at the corner of his mouth, and grinned excitedly, "Unless you have the ability to kill me in one strike, your attacks will only make me stronger!"
"Every time I'm injured, my defense and attributes increase. And don't you know? I'm stronger than ordinary barbarians! Your attacks are nothing but tickles to me now!"
Because Wang Gang had repeatedly injured Hochman earlier, his defense had already reached an insane level.
Ranked ninth among global barbarians, truly monstrous.
"Judging by your movement and technique, you're the strongest Martial Disciple I've ever seen. Good, then I'll crush your head!", Hochman laughed maniacally, his back leg bending slightly as he stomped the ground.
Suddenly, his rear leg exerted force, and his towering two-meter figure shot toward Xu Jun like a cannonball.
Now at nearly peak strength, Hochman's frontal assault sent Xu Jun flying on impact.
"Stop looking! Focus on completing the mission!", Hua Ziyan pulled Su Nuannuan along as the team continued to break through.
Zhu Yuan led the charge, carving a bloody path, but numerous experts were still rushing toward them.
Seeing three Hunters throw their lassos, a Tianheng team member leaped up, grabbed a lasso with his bare hands, and shouted back at his teammates, "Go!"
As they kept breaking through, their numbers dwindled. One by one, teammates stayed behind to fight to the death, holding off the enemy.
"Cut a path through!", Zhu Yuan roared!
Meanwhile, Chen Yueling had never been able to escape the three Ninjutsu Masters to rejoin the team. But at this moment, she spotted a Hunter in a concealed position, drawing her bow. Her eyes widened in shock.
That guy's hiding spot was too good, and judging by the bow he was using, his strength was immense. If he fired an arrow from the shadows, they'd lose another teammate.
Just as the arrow was about to be released, Chen Yueling roared, "Shadow Assassin!"
She abandoned his defense, charging at the Hunter at full speed. Just a second before the arrow was released, she swung her sword down.
However, the three Ninjutsu Masters wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
The moment Chen Yueling slashed, three sharp daggers pierced her body.
"You're still worried about others while fighting us? Hmph, this is your fate!"
"A Huaxia Martial Disciple, nothing special!"
Chen Yueling's body tilted forward, her vision gradually fading.
Luckily, the Hunter's arrow missed its mark, merely grazing past Hua Ziyan.
'Out of the 15-man team, only seven were still breaking through? You must complete the mission. Don't disgrace the Huaxia soldiers.'
At last, Chen Yueling turned her gaze to another battlefield, where Zhuzi was fighting a Ronin.
"It's Onoda Juro… Zhuzi…"
With a loud thud, Chen Yueling collapsed heavily onto the ground, closing her eyes. She murmured softly, "Remember… you are the world's number one war god…"
At that moment, Yuan Zhu, like a war god incarnate, repelled several island nation players.
But before he could continue attacking, a silver longsword slashed down from behind.
Yuan Zhu instantly shifted his attributes to agility, dodging swiftly to the side.
His opponent, however, didn't immediately follow up. Instead, he stood still, slightly raising his chin, resting his longsword on his shoulder, and squinting at Yuan Zhu.
"Finally, someone worth fighting. I am Onoda Juro, the one who will slay you with my Tragic Light Blade!"
Yuan Zhu snorted coldly, "What a joke. I am the world's number one war god. You think you can be arrogant in front of me?"
With that, Yuan Zhu wielded his heavy sword, flashing toward Onoda Juro, and slashed down forcefully.
Onoda Juro sneered, standing still. He merely whispered, "Phantom Mirage."
As Yuan Zhu's heavy sword struck, it passed right through Onoda Juro's body… but did not hit anything solid.
At the same time, a calm voice came from behind.
"Idiot! I'm over here!"
The Onoda Juro in front of him dissipated like smoke. When Yuan Zhu turned around, he saw a glint of cold light slashing toward his neck.
Yuan Zhu retreated immediately. The blade merely grazed his skin but still left a long, thin blood mark.
"Don't get distracted. The real fight is just beginning!", Onoda Juro grinned. His figure blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he was already flanking Yuan Zhu.
"Foresee the enemy's moves!", Onoda Juro growled. His sword grip shifted rapidly. Slashing, stabbing, flicking, each attack swift, precise, and fierce.
His movements were extremely bizarre. It was unclear whether he was simply too fast or using some illusion technique, but he often left afterimages while attacking unexpectedly from different angles.
If not for Yuan Zhu's ability to shift attributes, placing most into agility, he would've been dead by now.
After dodging several attacks, Onoda Juro finally saw through his ability, "A stat-transfer talent? No wonder you have such explosive power and speed."
"But what if my speed and strength surpass your limits?"
"Explosive Strike!", Onoda Juro growled, his attack speed doubling!
Not only that, but his strikes carried even more power. Each blow hit harder than before.
Under this overwhelming assault, Yuan Zhu was struggling to keep up. Wounds started appearing all over his body.
Nearby, an island nation warrior smirked, "That guy, Onoda… he's clearly a Ninjutsu Master, but he's obsessed with swordsmanship. He has both a ninja's trickery and a Ronin Swordsman's sword skills. Few can beat him!"
"He's an undisputed genius, merging ninjutsu and swordsmanship into one!"
Another foreign hunter frowned, "Are his attributes really that abnormal? As far as I know, the primary advantage of a Ninjutsu Master is agility, and they are not particularly strong in terms of power. Yet his attacks are so fierce—why is that?"
The previous warrior glanced at the man, snorted coldly, and said, "Onoda's strength is not actually high. What his explosive attacks enhance is… burst power!"
"By narrowing his attack range, he concentrates his limited strength into an explosive burst. Even if his raw power isn't great, he can still unleash terrifying damage."
"That Huaxia Martial Disciple will only become his living target!"
