Chapter 99

A little earlier.

When Wu Xiaode was still wreaking havoc in the charitable institution of the Holy Church.

Xiao Baihong, with Li Kunlun, was driving away in a mad dash.

"Ah... how annoying."

Xiao Baihong said, turning the umbrella.

Despite the inconvenience of sitting in the back seat, he still opened the umbrella.

Every time the umbrella turned—

Half-moon shaped wind blades would appear above the car, swiftly slicing through the sky, heading towards the pursuer behind them.

The pursuer was a blond man with white trousers and a bare upper body.

The wind blades, about as tall as a person, produced a strong whistling sound as they sliced through the air, but when they hit the blond man, they made a dull thud like hitting rubber.

The blond man was momentarily stunned in mid-air, hit by seven or eight wind blades before he landed and steadied himself.

"Another prisoner, whose soul power has exceeded the world's limit..."

"Execute them together."

The blond man took a few steps forward, gradually accelerating.

Whoosh—

A tornado suddenly appeared in the air, enveloping the blond man and continuously slashing him with countless wind blades.

After five breaths.

The blond man landed on the ground, moved his neck, and said, "Great potential, cannot allow you to live, immediate execution!"

He pursued the car as it sped away.

In the car.

Xiao Baihong took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "What kind of monster is this? My carefully researched hidden killing move can't even hurt him. It looks like we're going to die."

Li Kunlun became uneasy and said, "Can't we just get something to eat? Is there nothing at all?"

Xiao Baihong searched his entire body but found nothing to eat. Helplessly, he patted the royal guard in front and asked, "Brother, do you have anything to eat?"

The royal guard, who had been driving, finally paid attention and replied, "Me? Sorry, we usually don't bring food on missions... but there are some compressed military rations in the car, though they don't taste very good."

In the back seat, Xiao Baihong and Li Kunlun's emotions were like a roller coaster, first plummeting and then soaring.

"Quick, give me some to eat!" Li Kunlun said, overjoyed.

"In the front cabinet," the royal guard said.

Xiao Baihong bent down, opened the cabinet, and handed a few packets of compressed military rations to Li Kunlun.

Li Kunlun tore open the packaging and started eating.

After wolfing down for a while, he looked at Xiao Baihong.

Xiao Baihong understood and thought for a moment, saying, "If there was always a wall in front of the guy chasing us, that would be great."

Li Kunlun quickly tore open another packet of compressed military rations and started eating.

"What?" Xiao Baihong asked, confused.

"The food I ate isn't enough—more is needed to make what you said appear."

Li Kunlun, like a hungry ghost, ate all the military rations and snapped his fingers, saying, "He wants a wall, give him a wall."

As soon as he said that.

Hundreds of meters away, a thick wall indeed appeared in front of the accelerating blond man.

"Hmm? Not good, his ability is starting to awaken..." The blond man's body suddenly radiated a strong killing intent.

He charged into the wall, trying to break through it.

But the wall was always a wall.

—In other words, he had entered an endless, solid wall filled with bricks.

"AAAAH, is this all you've got? I'll tear you apart in a moment!"

The blond man roared madly, repeatedly charging into the wall.

He was like a cone piercing a soft cake.

—The wall didn't even slow him down; instead, it fueled his killing intent.

In the car.

Li Kunlun sighed, "Get me some more food, and remember to think of something creative to block him."

Xiao Baihong said, "There's no more food."

"No more?"

"No more."

"How can there be no more? Then what's the point of living?"

Thump!

A light sound came from the car roof.

Then a female voice said, "It's me."

Xiao Baihong was stunned, then overjoyed, "We're saved, the person who came is the Imperial Princess, who is almost the strongest professional in the empire."

Li Kunlun didn't speak, just wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Zhao Zhibing stood on the car roof, took off her bow and arrow, and squinted to look into the distance.

The wall that had blocked the blond man lasted for a few minutes and was now completely gone.

The blond man roared madly and accelerated again.

Zhao Zhibing continuously pulled the bowstring, letting arrows fly out, each suddenly enveloped in continuous lightning.

Lightning Multiple Arrow Rain!

This was Zhao Zhibing's killing move, which she used right away.

In the car, Xiao Baihong said, "Hmm, it's a bit like the captain's Multiple Arrow."

The blond man glanced at the rain of arrows and curled his lips in disdain.

He simply accelerated and charged straight into the arrows.

The first arrow pierced his body.

Lightning burst from the arrow, like a tiger pouncing, moving around the blond man's body.

The blond man's expression changed, and he screamed, "AAAAH—"

More arrows flew in.

Soon.

He became a hedgehog, covered in arrows.

—But he wasn't dead.

"This level of pain... I'll tear you apart in a moment," the blond man said in a low voice, continuing to run.

As he ran, he pulled out the arrows piercing his body and threw them on the ground.

His speed increased, and the number of arrows he pulled out grew.

—As if he didn't care about such injuries.

Zhao Zhibing's pupils contracted, and she sighed, "What kind of monster is this?"

At the same time.

In the palace.

The emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a helmet, was continuously issuing various orders.

"The best fighter jets have already taken off."

"The mecha battalion has also been dispatched."

"... Hmm, the top priority is to protect Bing'er, then to kill the enemy."

Seemingly remembering something, the emperor added, "Send a mecha to pick up Wu Xiaode, and get to the battlefield at supersonic speed, no matter the cost!"

"Should be fine now."

The emperor thought for a moment, satisfied with his arrangements, and took a sip of tea.

The tea was made by Concubine Li.

It was just right.

Tonight, he might go to Concubine Li's place to chat about life and discuss the way of living.

The emperor was satisfied with his thoughts and took another sip of tea.

Suddenly.

A gust of wind blew through the hall.

The emerald bamboo swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.

The emperor initially listened casually.

But after a few breaths.

The wind had stopped.

The bamboo still made a rhythmic sound.

The emperor's face changed.

He put down the teacup, stood up, took off his helmet, and quickly walked to the back of the hall.

A nearby attendant followed, but he waved them away.

The emperor walked to the seven-paneled screen and looked at it.

The screen depicted towering mountains under a solitary moon, standing firm amidst a thousand waves.

A woman stood on the peak of the mountain, with a painted face, wearing a rainbow dress, holding a feather fan pointing at the moon, as if she wanted to say something.

At that moment, there was no one around.

When the emperor looked at the woman, she glanced at him lightly.

Click.

A fine crack appeared on the screen, winding and extending, forming two small characters:

Life hangs.

The emperor was stunned, his face changing drastically, "Bing'er!"

He ran back, stood in front of the dragon throne, put on the helmet, and shouted, "By my command, all nearby forces, move out!"

"Royal Awakeners, immediately go to assist the princess!"

"Missiles ready—"

"Damn, can't use missiles!"

...

On the car roof.

Zhao Zhibing shot another arrow.

But the blond man seemed to have adapted to her attacks, easily dodging by slightly sidestepping.

Even if she detonated the runes on the arrows—

There was no sign of injury on his body.

The mecha battalion arrived.

Even at the risk of being discovered by the public, they formed a battle formation and charged at the blond man.

But it was useless.

Any attack could only make the blond man pause momentarily but couldn't harm him at all.

Zhao Zhibing took a deep breath, listening to the emperor's continuous orders in her earpiece, and couldn't help but shake her head.

It's too late.

This is a monster—

Is it really impossible to save the so-called "heavy criminal"?

The consequences now go beyond that.

Everyone might lose their lives.

What else can be done?

Zhao Zhibing maintained her calm, quickly thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

Suddenly.

She felt something and looked up.

A small black dot appeared in the distant sky.

—What is that?
