Chapter 2257 - 1751: Clash with Gagarin!
Third update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets ~~~~...
"Looking for death!"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Gagarin slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze incredibly sinister as he stared at Qin Fang, spitting out these two cold words from his mouth... At the same time, the aura around Gagarin became quite mysterious.
Gagarin has always been a very arrogant person, especially after he climbed to the position of Core Guard Captain of the Hand of the Devil Mercenary Corps, he became incredibly arrogant, except for showing a little respect to the few leaders and deputy leaders, he hardly regards even some of the veteran members of the corps.
Just like this time executing the mission, apart from Deputy Leader Vincent, Gagarin was the highest commander, and all his subordinates acted according to his arrangements, and he directly executed those who displeased him.
But...
Qin Fang and their team boldly defied his dignity, now daring to provoke him actively, naturally, making Gagarin furious.
"Hope you are as awesome as you say..."
Qin Fang sneered icily.
Gagarin was too arrogant, thus overestimating his own power, even though he knew Qin Fang dared to provoke him actively, he must have reliance, yet he still didn't regard Qin Fang as an opponent.
"The upcoming battle will be fierce... be cautious and protect yourselves as best as possible! If necessary..."
Gagarin was furious, so naturally, his men pressed close, the atmosphere instantly turned tense, and the battle was about to erupt... At this time, Qin Fang wasn't worried about his own safety but quietly instructed Charlie.
The opponent has a slightly larger number, with eight people... their individual strength doesn't differ much from Charlie and his team, and judging by the previous Fourth Layer Underground Palace's experience, they seemed to suffer some losses, perhaps being injured.
Considering this, the strength between both sides should be equal, and if they really fight, it's hard to say who will win...
Of course, Qin Fang was considerate and planned a way out for Charlie and his team, hinting with a glance at the remaining Gate of Life, reminding Charlie they could retreat through there at critical moments!
"Rest assured, Young Master Qin... We won't embarrass you!"
Charlie and his team were incredibly grateful, and such gratitude bolstered their resolve to battle the opposing side fiercely, "Hehe, Captain Gagarin... might even die at our hands!"
"Fuck!"
Charlie's words were meant for both Qin Fang and the opponents to hear, which naturally infuriated Gagarin, prompting him to curse angrily and rush toward Charlie.
A mysterious aura enveloped him, making anyone who approached feel a creepy sensation, clearly intending to tear Charlie to pieces...
"Gagarin, your opponent is me!"
However, Qin Fang obviously wouldn't let him succeed, chuckling lightly, then intervening to block Gagarin.
"Charlie, think of a way to gather their people..."
Still, before making a move, Qin Fang quietly reminded Charlie... without waiting for Charlie to react, Qin Fang already engaged fiercely with Gagarin.
"Gather them together?"
Charlie was somewhat stunned, not understanding Qin Fang's intentions, appearing a bit confused.
"Brothers, let's move!"
Nonetheless, it was no time to daze, so he immediately rallied the rest, quickly engaging the opponents, "Brothers, we have potions to save our lives, what does it matter if they are many?"
Saying thus, Charlie and the others seemed invigorated as if they took medicine, each unleashing their strongest offensive moves, recklessly fighting... as Charlie mentioned, they carried Blood Replenishing Pills, ensuring life was sustained as long as no vital injury occurred!
While the opponents, despite their larger numbers, had no other advantage, many carried injuries...
Given these conditions, why should they fear the opponents?
"Kill!"
Gagarin's men were reluctant to show weakness; after all, they numbered a few more, though some wounded members had reduced strength, they hardly regarded Charlie's team.
The two sides immediately clashed and engaged in a fierce battle, with every move aimed at taking lives...
At such a time, someone like Tony, a gunman, wasn't as useful, and he might even be a liability... The opponents wouldn't even give you a chance to draw or shoot, their weapons would already be at your throat.
However, Tony did not hold back because of this, instead, he fought intensely like a martial artist, without an ounce of cowardice. If you set everything else aside, it's hard to equate him with a sniper.
Compared to Charlie and the others, each of whom had only one Blood Replenishing Pill, Tony had two, giving him twice the opportunity as others. Why would he be afraid of them?
Tony was even contemplating going all out, even if it meant getting seriously injured, to take down or seriously injure one of the opponents, which would increase their odds of winning by a bit...
He wasn't the only one thinking this way; even Charlie was considering it in his mind. He struck fast and fiercely, in a manner that didn't care for his own life. Especially when blood splattered, their ferocity was further aroused.
Gradually, the five of them turned the tide from being at a disadvantage to gaining the upper hand, paying no mind to their own injuries, they continued to press hard on the opponents!
"This isn't a solution either..."
Charlie couldn't help but frown, although they had the advantage, the chance of actually killing the opponents was slim... unless they were prepared to make sacrifices, success would be unlikely.
Moreover, besides them, there were quite a few of Gagarin's people on the third floor of the Underground Palace. If they found this place, it would be truly troublesome for them.
"Brothers, find a way to gather them together, Young Master Qin's orders!"
In the chaos, Charlie cautiously entrusted this order to the others... using certain codes among them to avoid being detected by the opponents!
"Alright!"
The others also received the signal and intentionally tightened their attack range or pushed the opponents in one direction...
The opponents, already being suppressed by Charlie and the others, had one unfortunate casualty, and the remaining few could barely hold on. Though they wouldn't fall again, victory was out of their reach.
Hence, they also consciously gathered together, coinciding with Charlie and the others' intentions, gradually forming a defensive formation, planning to hold out until Gagarin defeated Qin Fang, or until reinforcements arrived...
As for Qin Fang, he continuously entangled with Gagarin, without exposing his true strength. Both were still probing each other, with no intention of making a ruthless move, maintaining the situation as it was...
It's rare for true experts to have a three-hundred-round bout unless their cultivation is extremely close or they're merely sparring. In a life-and-death struggle, it's often settled within a few moves.
Initially, Gagarin indeed didn't take Qin Fang seriously, but after his killer moves failed to affect Qin Fang two or three times, he realized Qin Fang's fearfulness, leading to mutual probing between the two.
Without truly probing the opponent's strength boundary, rash moves were evidently unwise...
As for Qin Fang, he also focused on defense initially, without planning to engage Gagarin recklessly... At least, he needed to clear the surrounding enemies for Charlie and the others before taking action!
With Qin Fang and Gagarin in a one-on-one situation, who would ultimately claim victory was really uncertain, relying on personal performance and the surrounding environment... Thus, the victory of their subordinates became critical.
Naturally, Qin Fang hoped for Charlie and the others to win... but seeing the situation wasn't optimistic made him anxious!
However, when he noticed Charlie and the others were deliberately gathering the opponents together, a bright smile appeared on his face, indicating Charlie had understood his message's meaning.
"Retreat!"
When Qin Fang noticed the opponents under Gagarin were grouped together, he smirked slightly, leapt out of the battlefield, instructed Charlie, and then immediately attacked those few people.
Charlie and the others had long awaited Qin Fang's subsequent move. Upon hearing his command, the five of them promptly retreated...
Buzz~~~
Before the opponents could react, they felt a large foot suddenly appear before them, enlarging within their field of vision, enlarging, enlarging...
"Fuck!"
Qin Fang's leap stunned Gagarin for a moment; he immediately cursed and attempted to pursue.
At this moment, seeing Qin Fang strike at his men, Gagarin was furious, unleashing his strongest move, sneak attacking Qin Fang from behind...
For him, those underlings were just cannon fodder; if they died, so be it, it was insignificant!
As long as he could seize this opportunity to grievously injure Qin Fang, an adversary of equal level, it would be worthwhile, even if it cost all his men... hence, he aimed directly at Qin Fang's vital points.
