68 FiendGod!
By this time, the Lion Heart squad has already ran far away. With the Death Gate squad attracting most of the zombies, there were barely any zombies in their surroundings. Thanks to that, they were able to move across a great distance without much trouble. As they entered a new area with many zombies, the Lion Heart squad slowed down and, once again, started moving cautiously.
"What happened just now, not even one of them died?" asked the Lion Heart squad's captain as he frowned.
"Captain, I fired at the captain of the Death Gate squad, Alicia. However, she just so happened to be dissecting a corpse, and just so happened is her dagger in a way that shook her body.
With that, the bullet just barely missed her and injured another member of the Death Gate squad instead. That member's arm was instantly blasted off, but I'm not sure if he's alive or dead" Yang, who had a skinny figure.
"That Jason got lucky"
Ligna frowned as he looked at the other person, "What about Tyrion, how come he didn't die?"
With the great distance and the speed of the bullet, only the person using the sniper rifle with their laser aimer device could clearly see what happened in that instant.
"That Tyrion….." the sniper hesitated, and then said, "he also got lucky. As I fired, he just so happened to be skinning a zombie, and just so happened to swing his blade against my armor piercing bullet". He could only say this, because he didn't think Tyrion's reaction speed was quick enough to cut through the armor piercing bullet.
So the only explanation was luck!
Since you would need an absurd reaction speed and control over your blade and amazing sight to be able to cut through an armor piercing bullet.
"Fuck, this Tyrion also has some bullshit luck." They couldn't help but to curse.
"However, don't worry". Laughed the sniper. "we fired four shots at the zombie hordes before and the only humans they could find are the members of the 'Death Gate squad'. Over a thousand zombies have them surrounded. No matter how great the Death Gate squad is, they're doomed for sure!"
"No!"
The captain of the Lion Heart squad shook his head, "Not absolutely. If Death Gate squad split up and ran. If the captain stayed behind to hold the horse while the others flee, they may have survived!" as he said that, Ligna let out a smile, "Of course, they have absolutely no threat to our Lion Heart squad".
"Captain, maybe they could coincidentally meet others if the same academy to help them." laughed the one of the team.
"In this city, and in such a small amount of time, to meet another team….. and to even convince him to help them. The chance of this is even lower than winning the lottery" grinned the Lion Heart squad's captain as he laughed, "Alright, let's go guys. That old thing is still moving, so we should get there as fast as possible".
"Yes".
The Lion Heart squad moved forward.

Tyrion and the others rushed to the rooftop of a regular six story residential apartment.
"KA!" the door to the staircase connected to the rooftop was directly sealed shut.
"Quick, let old Vander down" Tyrion in a low voice.
"Get the medicine" said Jason hurriedly.
With Vander's injury, he could die just by blood loss. Thankfully they stopped the blood earlier. However, such a large injury would need some basic treatment first….. since this city is a day walk away from the vehicle.
And rushing on the road for a day straight? With Vander's current condition, there's no way he'd be able to handle that.
"Vander, keep that in your mouth and replenish some energy" Jason took out a pill and put it in Vander's mouth.
As the Death Gate squad continued to treat Vander, the pale faced Vander was able to get the energy he needed in time. As treatment went on, the members of the Death Gate squad started to loosen up.
"Phew!" Tyrion secretly let out a sigh of relief. As he looked at the pale brother Zhang, and especially at the spot of his nonexistent right arm and half of a shoulder, his face was a bit dark. His fate would have even been worse than Vander's had he not replicate a secund heart.
"Vander can't use a blade in the future anymore and his career as a fighter is over!" Tyrion felt that it was a pity.
"These bastards, I, Jason, will make them regret it" said Jason as he clenched both of his fists, and then looked at Tyrion, "Thankfully, Tyrion wasn't shot dead and was able to... Oh yea, Tyrion, how come you were you able to deflect the bullet?".
Suddenly, all the other members of the Death Gate squad, including the heavily wounded Vander that was lying on the floor, looked at Tyrion.
Tyrion knew that the reaction speed he had showcased earlier had been off the charts. Even a silver grade beast nor a Demon Fighter possess such reaction speed to deflect a bullet but Tyrion had done it right in front of everybody.
Tyrion stared at the two people looking at him with a contemplative look before sighing. "I successfully practice the Nine Star Thunder Blade!"
Both Vander and Jason were instantly stunned. "T-the most difficult and main technique of the Venerable Fiendgod, of the Thunder temple?"
Jason couldn't help but ask after some hesitation.
Tyrion nodded his head seriously.
"The technique that paves way to the Path of becoming a Fiendgod?" Vander's weak voice also sounded as he asked for confirmation.
Tyrion hesitated. He hadn't heard the technique could make one a Fiendgod but he also nodded his head slowly.
"Haha." Jason laughed loudly, "Tyrion, I knew I didn't misjudge you! "
Vander also let out a weak smile.
"A potential Fiendgod… an actual potential Fiendgod has appeared in our team." laughed Jason as he nodded, "I know that if the Lion Heart squad knew that Tyrion was this powerful, they wouldn't have pulled this sly trick. If they knew... that they made an enemy out of a potential Fiendgod , they'd certainly regret it!"
