The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 573: The Fierce Battle Begins

Real combat training?

Wang Li, Ye Dongjian, Brother Hu, and around eighty or ninety others felt their blood boil at the sound of Ye Chenfeng’s words. They had been gritting their teeth in training every day for a month, waiting for an opportunity to show their skills. Now, that chance had finally arrived, and how could they not be excited?

Ye Chenfeng was very pleased with the enthusiasm everyone displayed and continued, "This time your opponents are the internationally second-ranked Skyfiend Mercenary Group. They killed officials from our Huaxia Country and fled into the Cangyun Mountain Range. This real combat training will involve live ammunition, and I won’t be issuing you any firearms. This way, you can fully demonstrate the progress you’ve made over the past month."

"Still in groups of four, you will enter the Cangyun Mountain Range to search for the enemy’s tracks. Consider this real combat training as an evaluation for each group. Whichever group first finds members of the Skyfiend Mercenary Group and takes them out will join me on an overseas mission. The mission is extremely hazardous, which also means there is a greater chance to enhance your abilities and breach your limits."

The dangerous mission Ye Chenfeng mentioned had, of course, already been agreed upon with Hei Xin to deal with the Devouring Empire. It would be excellent experience. However, he couldn’t bring everyone present, so Ye Chenfeng seized the opportunity to mention it.

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, everyone clenched their fists instantly. To undertake a mission with Ye Chenfeng meant they could learn a lot. This opportunity was once in a lifetime and not to be missed.

"What are you waiting for now? You can start moving immediately," Ye Chenfeng commanded the crowd.

With excitement, eagerness, and confidence, teams of four rapidly scattered into the Cangyun Mountain Range.

A slight smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s face as he turned to the two women beside him, "Xiaofei, Yu Ting, shall we also get some activity in the Cangyun Mountain Range? Through the diligent efforts of your husband this past month, both of you have advanced to the third level of Soul Force. Now you know how blissful it is to have a good husband, right? Easily improving your abilities and becoming experts."

Wu Xiaofei and Ning Yuting simultaneously rolled their eyes at Ye Chenfeng, their cheeks flushing red as they reached with their fingers to pinch the soft flesh around his waist.

As Wang Li, Ye Dongjian, Brother Hu, and the rest entered the Cangyun Mountain Range one group at a time, the members of the Soldier King Group, led by Zhao Fei, received orders from higher up and arrived at the mountain range promptly. However, they entered from a different entrance, thus avoiding a run-in with Ye Chenfeng and his group.

With Wang Li and others having left, the Soldier King Group now only had forty to fifty members. Under the current leadership of Zhao Fei, thirty members were mobilized for this operation, with the remaining Soldier King Group members on other assignments. It could be said that the Soldier King Group was fully deployed.

"We’re up against the formidable Skyfiend Mercenary Group this time. I fear that with our limited numbers, we’re no match for them. If only Wang Li and the others hadn’t left the Soldier King Group."

"And we have no idea what Wang Li and the others are doing now with Ye Chenfeng. I truly miss the days when we were all together!"

...

Several members of the Soldier King Group murmured to one another, keeping an eye out for any movement in the surroundings. The Soldier King Group had severely dwindled in numbers compared to its former strength.

"This is the mission assigned by our superiors. Since we chose to remain with the Soldier King Group, this isn’t the time to dwell on the past. Wang Li and the members who left can’t take on such dangerous missions, but we can rapidly improve our skills through mission after mission like this. Who knows, by the next time we meet them, we might be leagues beyond their abilities," Zhao Fei, the current commander of the Soldier King Group, said.

"The commander is absolutely right. Let’s all perk up and strive to find the Skyfiend Mercenary Group members’ whereabouts as soon as possible." A Soldier King Group member next to Zhao Fei spoke up.

...

In a very secluded area deep within the Cangyun Mountain Range.

Fifteen burly foreign men gathered together. Among them, a man with a wolf head tattoo on his arm was holding a map of the Cangyun Mountain Range, marked with many escape routes.

"Adolf, I reckon Huaxia Country has already dispatched members of the Soldier King Group to enter the Cangyun Mountain Range and search for our tracks. I must think of a way to leave Huaxia Country as soon as possible," said a blond man with a scar on his right cheek to the man with the wolf head tattoo.

The foreign man called Adolf, the vice-captain of the Sky Wrath Mercenary Corps, had muscles like hard boulders and a face showing disdain, "Yarman, the fifteen of us here are all elites of the Sky Wrath Mercenary Corps. According to the information I’ve obtained in advance, the members of the Soldier King Group are no match for us, as long as their number doesn’t exceed forty."

"Besides, aren’t we best at jungle combat? I wouldn’t mind killing a few more members of the Soldier King Group," Adolf said with a bloodthirsty expression on his face, sticking out his tongue and licking his dry lips.

Hearing this, the blond man named Yarman stopped worrying and a smile of excitement appeared at the corner of his mouth. All fifteen of them, as elite members of the Sky Wrath Mercenary Corps, could be said to be bloodthirsty by nature, having claimed countless lives.

"Adolf, with you saying that, I’m itching all over again. I feel like tasting the fresh blood of the Soldier King Group members," Yarman said, twisting his neck.

Adolf’s sharp gaze suddenly directed toward the grass not far away, and a playful smile appeared on his face, "Yarman, I think you’ll get to taste the blood of the Soldier King Group members very soon."

Adolf’s perceptivity was incredibly sharp. Led by Zhao Fei, thirty members of the Soldier King Group had traced the tracks of the Sky Wrath Mercenary Corps after a long search. They hid in the bushes not far from the Mercenary Corps members, waiting for the right moment to make their move.

Zhao Fei, sensing Adolf’s piercing gaze in their direction, knew that the enemy had discovered them and said, "The Sky Wrath Mercenary Corps has only fifteen people. We’ll face them two on one, and I don’t believe we can’t take them down."

As he spoke, Zhao Fei was the first to emerge from the bushes, followed by the rest of the Soldier King Group. Seeing the Soldier King Group appear, the blond Yarman sneered disdainfully, "Turns out the Huaxia people are turtles hiding their heads, wanting to stab us in the back from the shadows? The Soldier King Group is nothing special after all!"

"Adolf, I can’t wait to taste the fresh blood of the Soldier King Group members. There are only about thirty of them here; we can easily handle them," said Yarman, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

Adolf nodded and said, "We don’t have to kill these members of the Soldier King Group. Just beating them to the point where they can’t fight back will be enough. We can torture them slowly, and maybe we can even use them as hostages when necessary."

Hearing Adolf and the others’ casual conversation, Zhao Fei’s brows couldn’t help but furrow. A member of the Soldier King Group standing next to Zhao Fei couldn’t help but step forward and shout, "Do you really think the Soldier King Group can be easily bullied? Today, we will let you witness the true strength of our Soldier King Group."

As soon as the Soldier King Group member finished speaking, Adolf’s figure instantly charged towards him with incredible speed, so fast that even Zhao Fei, the strongest member of the Soldier King Group, didn’t react in time. Adolf’s punch hit the Soldier King Group member in the stomach.

With a "bang!"

The Soldier King Group member was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with a stunned expression. How could this member of the Soldier King Group have expected to be dealt with by the enemy in a single move? (To be continued.
