Chapter 45 - 45 Attack and Kill (Seeking Support)_1
The bar’s door was pushed open, and wind chimes rang out.
A strange man walked in.
After skillfully entering the inner passage, he put on a mask and turned the doorknob.
[Biometric Information Confirmed.]
The lock’s core unlocked.
Pei Jinye unassumingly retracted his hand, having utilized Huan Ling’s ability; he briefly transformed his palm print into Lan Feng’s to successfully pass the verification previously left in place.
In this way, his identity could be more convincingly confirmed.
The iron door “di” sounded as it opened.
Silver Art, Red Rose, and Tai Yuan were all there.
Pei Jinye walked in, Silver Art beckoned him over, he nodded and sat down.
Red Rose and Tai Yuan were in bad shape, both of them bandaged.
Silver Art leaned in, “You didn’t encounter an ambush on the way here, did you?”
Pei Jinye glanced at the two opposite him, “No, what happened to them?”
Silver Art sighed, lowering his voice, “They were ambushed by people from Heaven God in the suburbs just an hour ago. If Black Shark hadn’t arrived in time, it would have been a close call.”
“Why has Heaven God been so active lately?” Pei Jinye frowned.
He still hadn’t withdrawn all of Huan Ling’s money, as he didn’t want to suddenly draw attention to the issues with his account from Sky God International.
It seemed now he had to quickly withdraw the money amidst the chaos.
Delay could lead to disaster!
Before long, Black Shark appeared.
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow slightly.
It was rare to see Black Shark looking so angry.
As soon as Black Shark entered, he scanned around the room.
“The current situation is very unfriendly to us. I have the latest intelligence that Heaven God has collaborated with the city hall, employing the authority of the artificial intelligence [Punishment Heaven], and now they are performing big data comparisons in an attempt to find each member of the Old Gods Association… We absolutely cannot sit and wait for death!”
Red Rose and the others looked on, their eyes flickering with hatred.
Silver Art rested his chin on his hand, only concerned about what the mission was.
Pei Jinye sat quietly on one side with a calm face.
Black Shark said solemnly, “I’ve reported this matter to headquarters. Following the elder’s directive, we will have a team of thirty C-level Death Soldiers arriving to support us, expected to teleport here in ten minutes….”
As he spoke,
A virtual screen materialized on the table in front of Pei Jinye and the others.
Black Shark explained, “This is our target person for tonight. Heaven God must pay a blood debt with blood!”
Pei Jinye looked at the target person who appeared in front of him, paying particular attention to their ability—[Lin Ye, one of the Thirteen Protectors, Master of Swordsmanship….]
Black Shark continued, “Lin Ye is the main target, and his convoy will also include a high-ranking official from Heaven God tonight. They will appear on Ning Shan Road. Heavenly Calculation will communicate with you in real time…. Tonight’s mission has only one objective, leave no survivors!”
“Understood!”
“The armory has been updated, go pick your weapons.”
Red Rose and Tai Yuan were the first to stand up.
Pei Jinye was just getting up when he heard Silver Art lean in and ask, “Black Shark, how is Shadow Bow?”
“Number series is still trying to save him…. Hope is very slim,” Black Shark sighed.
Looking at Pei Jinye, he asked, “Demon King, how is your technique cultivation going? As a Psychic Class, will you struggle in close combat?”
Pei Jinye replied unassumingly, “Ordinary characters are no problem, leave the strong ones to Silver Art, my hypnosis has made significant progress lately.”
“That’s good,” Black Shark nodded approvingly, watching as Pei Jinye and Silver Art entered the armory.
Ten minutes later.
In the spacious underground base.
Thirty black-clad warriors wearing helmets full of mechanical sensation were each carrying a longsword of about one meter and three in length on their backs.
Pei Jinye looked with interest at the black-clad warriors in front of him.
“Are these the Death Soldiers cultivated by headquarters?”
Silver Art leaned in and touched the armor of one, “Special metal, so hard.”
Black Shark watched them, speaking in a heavy voice, “Your routes of action and individual mission assignments have already been sent to your internal mailboxes. Remember to check on the road. I will also participate in this operation.”
“How are we dealing with the Federation?” Red Rose suddenly asked.
Black Shark replied gravely, “The decoy has been thrown; it can hold them off for a maximum of ten minutes, so make it quick and decisive with Heaven God!”
The drizzle persisted.
In an instant, it turned into a violent downpour.
The convoy gradually slowed down its speed.
In the middle of a low-flying hover car, a middle-aged man in a tailcoat held a mobile phone, his face beaming with a carefree smile, “Secretary Zhou, rest assured, the fugitives from the Old Gods Association can’t escape… You mean the new person from the Old Gods Association who is codenamed Demon King? Alright, I understand, I will arrange for people to possibly find his real identity… Additionally, please give my regards to the Governor.”
After hanging up the call.
The middle-aged man turned to look at the buzz-cut man beside him, who was resting with his eyes closed.
“Lin Ye, tell Mr. Sang that the new member of the Old Gods Association has been confirmed to be codenamed Demon King.”
“Demon King? That’s some audacity,” Lin Ye scoffed.
The middle-aged man pondered and said, “This person has a mysterious background; we must not underestimate him. Besides, this Black Shark is more formidable than we thought, otherwise those two fellows this afternoon would definitely have been left behind.”
“Black Shark…” Lin Ye opened his eyes, and a glint flashed through them.
“Right, have you still not been able to contact Huan Ling recently?” the middle-aged man asked.
Lin Ye shook his head, unconcerned, “You know about Huan Ling’s abilities. It’s common for him to disappear for days when on missions. Didn’t Punishment Heaven see him in Kapok Alley before? He probably caught a big fish.”
Massaging his brow, the middle-aged man said, “It’s a troublesome time; I feel somewhat uneasy.”
“What’s there to fear when I’m here to protect you”
Before he could finish
“Boom!”
On the road where the convoy was traveling, an explosion suddenly erupted; flames engulfed the hover car containing Lin Ye and the middle-aged man, and the fierce blast wave sent several nearby hover cars flying.
“We’re under attack!”
“There’s an ambush!”
Under the torrential rain of the night, roars and screams were incessant.
The dim lights flickered with countless sword lights; before the security personnel of Sky God International could make out the attackers, they were swiftly silenced with a slit to the throat, without even a chance to scream.
The middle-aged man inside the car was thrown into a dizzy spell.
Lin Ye quickly pulled him up, sniffed to ensure everything was alright, and then snapped the seat belt, “Come on, out we go!”
No sooner had they crawled out of the hover car—
A streak of silver light swooped down on them.
A sword light flashed in Lin Ye’s hand out of nowhere, directly extinguishing the silver light.
“It’s the Old Gods Association!”
He looked over through clenched teeth.
Silver Art, wearing a silver-faced mask, tilted his head to look over.
The reacting security personnel reached into their arms for firearms, but in the next second, a black-armored warrior approached them, severing both the gun and the hand holding it.
“Ah!”
Blood splattered.
Silver Art charged at Lin Ye.
He reached out his hand for another strike.
Silver light flickered.
“You bunch of bastards from the Old Gods Association!” Lin Ye, enraged, materialized two longswords in his hands.
White light flashed.
The approaching black-armored warriors had no chance of resisting and were instantly pierced through their hearts.
He kicked away the corpse in front of him.
Lin Ye did not leave his spot but instead stayed in front of the middle-aged man, continuously taking down the black-armored warriors who charged at them.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, the muddy path in front of Silver Art exploded; he dodged to the side as a figure ambushed from the ground.
Silver Art exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Ye shouted loudly, “Thirteen, I’ll leave this to you, I’m taking Mr. Qu out of here.”
“Leave it to me.”
The suddenly emerging figure clapped a hand together.
The ground in front of Lin Ye instantly shook as if there was a quake; almost everyone could hardly keep their footing.
