Chapter 1737: Chapter 52: Berserk Mode, Hero Tier 4!

The side of Tao Ran’s sea ship was battered to pieces by a bullet rain, splinters flying like heavy rain and obscuring vision.

The female musketeers screamed, their limbs severed, turning into streams of white light and disappearing into the air.

A black semi-transparent sighing barrier unfolded, protecting Tao Ran. Any object entering it visibly slowed down, eventually stopping and falling onto the deck.

“Open fire!” Zhuo Lie exclaimed joyfully. While Tang Zheng was interfered by the power of destiny, he ordered two more volleys.

Tao Ran’s ship was completely breached, revealing the inner cabins as seawater poured in, and it began to sink.

“Brother Zhuo, blast that girl to pieces,” Zi Xin instructed, knowing Tao Ran was a formidable opponent and had to be killed immediately.

Zhuo Lie complied, and Zi Xin exerted his full power of destiny interference, causing Tang Zheng’s gravity barrier to completely distort.

“Queen’s Decree, immune to interference!” shouted Tang Zheng, his head shaking violently before he spat out a mouthful of blood. Zi Xin across from him wasn’t faring any better either.

But it was too late; Tao Ran was lost amid the fractured deck, disappearing into the seawater.

The female gunners pulled the cords, making the cannons roar once more.

The distance was too close; over three hundred cannon shells landed, almost blanketing every inch of the ghost ship’s deck with dense dingdong sounds.

The skeleton sailors on the deck were all shattered into bone fragments, scattered all over.

“Steel Barrier!”

Zhuo Lie, having taken two cannon shells, clenched his right fist and punched downward forcefully, summoning a steel-formed barrier to block the shells, protecting both him and Zi Xin.

“Want to kill me? Not that easy!” Zhuo Lie laughed triumphantly, yet seeing the long stalemate against the Warhammer team, he started to worry and decided to unleash his ultimate ability.

“Tang Zheng, let me show you the real might of the ghost ship.”

With Zhuo Lie’s roar, a model ship shot out from his chest, releasing dozens of black band-like mists that plunged into the deck.

The entire ghost ship bulged as if it had veins, and the shells it fired this time transformed into misty black magic bullets.

“Gravity Abyss.”

Despite the Queen’s Decree weakening Zi Xin’s power of destiny, it still lingered. Tang Zheng could only intercept half of the shells, and three ships were hit.

Once the shells struck the sea ship, they not only summoned stronger skeletons but also exploded directly, causing the dispersed fog to condense into a skeleton hand, gripping the ships and aiming to drag them into the sea.

“Help me!” Fang Zhiwen shouted, initially clutching the helm, but seeing the ship sinking, she dashed towards Tang Zheng’s flagship to be with him.

Facing the uncertain fate of Tao Ran and being suppressed by a former defeated subordinate with the fleet, Tang Zheng’s rage boiled over. The Conquerors watching made him feel like a monkey on display; this humiliation finally ignited his nerves.

“You bastards, all of you go to hell,” declared Tang Zheng, who had already reached the peak of the third-order tier when he killed the Sky Serpent King. In his death battle with Zhuo Lie, he broke the threshold and entered hero tier four.

Boom, a massive red mist shot out from Tang Zheng’s body like crossbow arrows, producing a tearing noise in the air.

“He’s powered up, entering hero tier four.”

“We can’t wait anymore. Let’s join forces to kill him, or else if he recovers, he’ll definitely be a formidable foe.”

The Conquerors were shocked, exchanging glances to prepare for action.

The ghost ship was indeed powerful, but off the sea, it wouldn’t be as effective. At worst, they could wait until the next battle for a chance to win. But Tang Zheng was different; every hero tier four was a renowned force.

In the whole Trojan Horse Game, there were no more than fifteen such individuals, representing the highest level of combat power, even capable of crushing an ordinary third-order hero.

“Retreat three thousand meters,” Miranda commanded.

“Why?” Jessica, who had shared a one-night stand with Tang Zheng but didn’t care beyond that, questioned, “Wouldn’t killing him grant a lot of points?”

“Impossible; do as I say, quickly,” urged Miranda.

Seeing Miranda’s fleet retreating, the other fleets initially intending to attack also halted and decisively withdrew, forming a circle surrounding the two battling teams.

They had reached a tacit agreement: whichever side of these two ultimately won would face their combined assault and die here.

“Gravity Tear!” Tang Zheng clenched his right fist, pulling apart the skeletal hands with gravity as the ship, already half submerged in seawater, surged up violently.

“Female gunners, magic bullet attack.” With a wave of Tang Zheng’s right arm, a huge red halo enveloped the fleet, and each cannon revealed a beautiful magic array.

Bang, bang, bang!

This time, the shells fired weren’t normal models but red-flame-clad magic bullets, resembling meteors with beautiful tails as they collided with the ghost ship.

Explosions rippled through the ship, causing massive tremors, and wave upon wave of seawater was lifted by the shockwaves, spreading outward.

“Steel Sky!”

The white clouds in the sky dispersed, and a barrier made of steel appeared. Amidst the mechanical clattering, an Orbital Cannon formed, like a sharp sword, aiming at the Ghost Ship.

The muzzle gathered energy, and the blue glow almost dazzled everyone’s eyes.

“Retreat, retreat quickly.” The Conquerors shouted nervously, ordering the sailors to evacuate the Battle Circle.

“Warning, Warhammer Team Leader, if you use technology-based abilities, a substantial number of points will be deducted, and in severe cases, you will be directly deprived of the Holy Land War qualification.”

Due to the use of the Key of Time and Space, Trojan’s restrictions on Tang Zheng were extremely low, forcing them to resort to this method to constrain him.

Tang Zheng’s eyes flickered, and ultimately the Orbital Cannon didn’t open fire; even the Kirov Airship and the mech soldiers were not deployed.

“Trojan is unable to constrain him anymore?” Without being bombarded, the Conquerors felt no relief, but rather more lost. The enormous gap made them see no chance of victory.

The Steel Sky dispersed, and Tang Zheng didn’t feel down; he even let out a sigh of relief. He feared most the War King’s team, and now it seemed he didn’t have to worry about attacks from aircraft carriers.

The Magic Bullets not only fired faster but were more powerful, causing cracks to begin appearing on the Ghost Ship.

Zhuo Lie initiated defense, and black mist formed a barrier that intercepted the Magic Bullets, causing flames to splatter everywhere.

“Brother Zhuo, stop fighting; let’s retreat first.” Zi Xin, even without speaking of the battle situation, knew their side was in crisis. The Ghost Ship is indeed a rare unique Prop, but you also need the power to control it.

Zhuo Lie had just obtained it and wasn’t familiar with various performances yet, not to mention the consumption of Life Energy to activate its powers, which he couldn’t bear.

Having experienced death once, he’s close to the English Third Order peak. Besides Zi Xin’s powerful predictions that helped him gain many celestial treasures, Zhuo Lie’s innate talent is not bad. However, this consumption battle is still no match for Tang Zheng.

“No, they’re about to die. Just a little more effort will do.” Zhuo Lie’s chest was filled with anger, especially seeing Tang Zheng explode in power, making him jealously furious. He hadn’t forgotten how this young man used to only be at the mercy of him.

“Charge up, and engage in boarding combat.” Tang Zheng didn’t recklessly leap over. The Ghost Ship is Zhuo Lie’s territory, and fighting on it, even thinking with your knees, you can imagine what kind of restrictions they would encounter.

Both sides exchanged fire, and Cannon Shells almost filled the entire view. Every second, Female Gunners were killed, though new ones quickly replaced them.

Tang Zheng felt no exhaustion, feeling limitless power pouring into every corner of his body.

The flames began to assert their power again. Tang Zheng’s previous body was like a Swimming pool, unable to contain the flames’ power at all, and they lay dormant. After becoming Hero Tier Four, the pool turned into a lake, and the power began to overflow.

Like a nuclear-powered engine, the flames pumped power into Tang Zheng’s body. Several Female Gunners even summoned a Super Cannon.

The 180mm caliber giant cannon fired Magic Bullets, directly opening a large hole in the side of the Ghost Ship, though the immense power also made the Sea Ship carrying it unbearable, creaking.

Gravity Abyss and Power of Destiny canceled out a part of each other, leading to a huge reduction in defense. Thus, the battle grew more intense, completely a head-on shootout.

Finally, both sides got close enough, where even a vertical leap could jump onto the other deck, and Cannon Shells had no chance of missing, hitting precisely.

Bone fragments flew, and white light continuously flashed up.

Both sides lost members constantly and then replenished them; if it were human sailors, they would have collapsed by now.

The Conquerors were stunned, their scalps tingling. Tang Zheng’s Flagship was almost alongside the Ghost Ship, bombarding each other, with Cannon Shells entering and then exiting from the other side.

Bam, Tang Zheng swung his fist, knocking a Cannon Shell away, then grabbed with his right hand, Gravity Claw striking towards Zhuo Lie.

“Steel Hand.”

Zhuo Lie waved his hand, a large hand formed of steel scattering the Gravity Claw, then slapped towards the Flagship.

Gravity rebounded, the Steel Hand deviated, smashing into the nearby Yin Shangwu.

“Fang Zhiwen, you idiot, quickly heal Tao Ran and grant a Bonus effect to everyone.” Jiang Xiuming released Mental Impact while fishing the Black Long Straight out from the Seawater.

Earlier, when falling into the water, Tao Ran’s head was hit by a heavy object, knocking him unconscious.

Fang Zhiwen didn’t do anything, squatting in the Corner with her head in her arms, activating all Shields, completely ignoring others.

“Damn, the Ghost Ship has an effect that weakens Mental Attack.” Jiang Xiuming was furious, being known as a Team Battle weapon but being suppressed.

A few unique Props have such effects, like the Book of Enos from the Broken Doll. Against him, Jiang Xiuming’s Mental Impact had no effect whatsoever.

“Wake up, Tang Zheng is going to die.” Jiang Xiuming shook Tao Ran’s shoulders; this girl also has abilities from the Fate Series, which can counter that short middle-aged man.

Jiang Xiuming referred to Zi Xin. He didn’t know the boy who appeared very old was actually only fifteen.

Tao Ran woke up, ignoring the discomfort in her body, she activated the Sighing Barrier, and granted the Evil Beast’s Fang effect to Tang Zheng.

The Magic Bullets grew more powerful, and upon hitting the Ghost Ship, it seemed to strip away the opponent’s time, causing the ship’s body to start aging.

Tao Ran’s Time-Space Python flew out, biting the Skeleton Hand, while Jiang Xiuming continued to bombard the Psychic Illusion wave after wave, though Zi Xin also frequently interfered with them.
