48 Hours a Day

Chapter 943: God Of Murder

With a blade in his hand, Zhang Heng’s killing mode was officially activated. He felt that he had returned to the night of the bloody battle at Bakumatusu Kyoto. An endless wave of enemies poured in from all directions like a raging tsunami.

In terms of swordsmanship, this group of bikers could never be compared with the samurais he fought last time. Once they started to make a move, Zhang Heng could see that their movements were full of vulnerabilities. There was also no teamwork among them, where they solely relyed on numbers alone.

However, they held other advantages as well, especially the weapons they owned. Although they couldn’t use their guns, they had all kinds of melee weapons. Some of them were also equipped with mechanical prostheses.

In the beginning, Zhang Heng suffered a small loss. Although he saw someone charging at him with raised fists, he chose to ignore it for now. He had to first handle the enemy holding a stun baton on the other side. Right after Zhang Heng slashed him with his blade, he quickly turned around to deal with the enemy that wanted to punch him. However, the enemy didn’t seem affected when the blade landed on his fist. All that could be seen were the sparks flying from the contact.

Zhang Heng also almost dropped the blade due to the powerful recoil. Although he failed to hurt his opponent with his blade, it did change the trajectory of the fist. In the end, the enemy’s fist went past Zhang Heng and landed on the grocery store’s wall.

The wall cracked due to the force delivered by the fist, dust flying into the air and raining down onto them. Fury flashed across the man’s eyes, and he attempted to punch Zhang Heng, getting up immediately to attack the second time. The moment he lifted his fist, however, Zhang Heng was well prepared to strike him first. This time, he wouldn’t be giving him any opportunities to attack. Before his fist could come in contact with Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng had already sliced off his head without any hesitation.

The head then rolled towards Old Man Geng’s side, leaving the latter and the hamster in his hands completely terrified. Before his fear could even subside, Old Man Geng felt his collar getting pulled up by someone, and he was about to be dragged away from the counter. Fortunately, Zhang Heng, on the other side, had been paying attention to the Old Man Geng. While he was fighting with the two new opponents that charged at him, he had quickly drawn his gun and killed the man who tried to take advantage of the chaotic situation.

As the latter’s body slammed on the counter. Old Man Geng quickly ran back behind it. On the other hand, Zhang Heng drew an arc with his blade in the air, bypassed the enemy that made a defensive posture in front of him and stabbed his chest with his blade.

The bikers stopped attacking after they saw what Zhang Heng did to their allies. None of them expected Zhang Heng to have such good marksmanship and also fearsome swordsmanship. In the blink of an eye, three of the bikers were sent to meet their maker.

At the same time, the bikers knew that there was not much time left for them. So, they just took in a deep breath, bit the bullet, and continued to charge at Zhang Heng.

Judging by how they were behaving, it seemed they were planning to sacrifice themselves to capture Old Man Geng.

As a result, the pressure bearing down on Zhang Heng’s shoulders amplified instantaneously. So far, he had no problem fighting against them. The biggest problem he had was that he needed to take care of Old Man Geng on the other side. After he emptied the Lego gun’s clip, he could no longer save him from a distance. As a result, he had put away the Lego gun, grab another blade, and switch to double-blade mode. In the end, he barely managed to protect Old Man Geng.

Even for him, it was not easy to maintain such an intense close-range melee fight, especially when the enemy in front of him did not care about casualties. Fortunately, Mr. G’s men were here just in time. Only less than eight minutes had passed since the battle started. The ruler of the first level had organized and assembled nearly a hundred subordinates to help them. It exceeded the expectations of the bikers, and they were covered in despair.

The first to rush to the battlefield was Miss F. As Mr. G’s fiancée. She did not act like a queen who knew nothing about combat but rather like a military general. When she drew the saber with her mechanical arm and jumped at the enemies, she looked like a ferocious tiger descending from a mountain.

Her attack speed was faster than Zhang Heng’s. She fought so well thanks to her mechanical arm and the special alloy sword, not to mention Zhang Heng’s Shrouded Sheath was not with him right now. Still, it was undeniable that her performance was amazing.

And Miss F’s present had completely destroyed the bikers’ morale. Initially, they were relying on the time difference. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited until Old Man Geng met Mr. G before they made their move. At that time, Old Man Geng had already handed over the information in the briefcase and closed the deal between the two parties. Usually, the level of their vigilance was the lowest at a time like this.

Everyone was caught off guard by their sudden attack. Unfortunately, they did not expect that Zhang Heng was there to protect Old Man Geng. As a result, they failed to kidnap Old Man Geng. And the calvary was here to rescue them. If they wanted to survive, they had to flee now.

Miss F put away her alloy sword, and she did not even bother to look at enemies that fled from her. She walked towards Zhang Heng and Old Man Geng and asked, “Are you okay? It’s our fault for letting such a thing happened on our territory. We were negligent, and I apologize on behalf of Mr. G.”

Zhang Heng threw the blade aside, shook his head, and said, “It’s okay. Anyway, neither of us got harmed.”

Old Man Geng did not think that he was doing fine. He was surrounded by dead bodies, and there was blood on his face. Fortunately, the blood did not belong to him. Though he was not physically injured, it did not mean that he was not mentally scarred. Later, the expression on his face became more and more in sync with the hamster in his arms.

His brain could still process the information around him logically. He now knew that the two people in front of him were the Gods of Killing. When the two talked, he kept quiet for the first time. At the same time, he prayed that the god would forget the impolite words he had said.

Miss F nodded. “The attackers come from a medium-sized gang that has recently gotten out of our control. Most of the members are runaways, and there is something wrong with their brains. Clearly, they cannot be the mastermind. Someone bribed them and promised them that he would help them move to a higher floor. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to fight us in the open. Rest assured, I guarantee that none of them will escape.”

After that, she paused for a while. And she looked at the corpses around her. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, she did not ask any questions about it. Instead, she said, “I’ll get two sets of new clothes for two of you. You can choose to stay here or return to the level you came from.”
