On the next street over, Tang Ling and the other three were running quickly.
"According to the soldier's location data, they are in the alley ahead." Liu Hefu pointed forward while looking at his phone.
Bang Bang Bang! A series of explosions suddenly came from the direction he was pointing.
The expressions of everyone present changed immediately, and then they saw a Birdman with wings flying up in the distance.
"What the hell is that thing?" Huang Hao looked at the Birdman, who was about to fly away, with shock.
Many passersby nearby also stopped when they heard the explosions. They looked at the direction of the blast and then at the Birdman, all showing surprise.
"What kind of Monster is that? It looks like he's holding two people in his hands," an old man exclaimed, pointing at the Birdman in the sky.
"Quick, take a picture! I never thought Monsters existed in this world." A young man quickly pulled out his phone and snapped photos of the Birdman preparing to fly away.
"Shoot him down!" Tang Ling only needed one glance at the Birdman to know he wasn't one of their own and was likely associated with Jiang Yan.
This immediately reminded her of the Monster hostage incident that occurred in Wenqin City, Mingzhou, last month.
"Yes!" Liu Hefu immediately responded.
He opened his mouth, and white light gathered in his oral cavity, forming an orb of light in less than a second.
Xiu! The white light shot out abruptly, tracing a straight line through the air toward Wei Gaocheng. The white light was extremely fast and hit its target instantly.
Peng! A ball of white light exploded in the air.
"Hit!" A look of joy appeared on Huang Hao's face.
Although Liu Hefu was only a Level Two Awakened, his unique ability could sometimes play a role comparable to a Level Three.
However, Tang Ling and Liu Hefu did not look relieved, because there was an explosion, but the enemy hadn't fallen.
A hundred meters up in the sky, the white light dissipated, revealing a somewhat disheveled Wei Gaocheng.
At the critical moment, he had managed to shield An Conghao and Zhang Qing with his wings.
Turning his body, his face was etched with fury. Although the blow hadn't injured him, the pain was considerable.
Many pedestrians on the street had stopped. He immediately spotted Tang Ling and the three others in suits in the middle of the road, especially Tang Ling, who was staring at him with a cold expression.
Di Di! Just then, an electronic sound rang out from beneath the feathers near his ear.
Then came Han Qi's voice: "Li Yong and I are in position. You take Boss An back first."
At the entrance of the street, Han Qi, who was wearing a black suit, was two meters tall, and had four pale eyes, was walking toward Tang Ling and her group.
On the roof of a three-story building at the entrance, Li Yong, wearing a black athletic hoodie and brown shorts, watched them coldly with his hands in his pockets.
"Chop that woman's head off for me. I don't like her arrogant look." Wei Gaocheng left that instruction and flew away.
Tang Ling's group didn't have time to worry about him, because the four-eyed man in the suit at the entrance was walking toward them.
"People from the Xuanjian Division?" Han Qi looked at them expressionlessly.
The remaining passersby on the street also started to sense that the atmosphere was wrong. First a Birdman, then a man in a suit shooting white lasers, and now a four-eyed man appeared.
In this situation, even an idiot would know a big battle was about to happen, and some of the smarter ones immediately took off running.
Tang Ling narrowed her eyes: "First a Birdman, and now you, a four-eyed Monster. I didn't expect that merely trying to arrest An Conghao would draw out so many interesting characters."
"You four-eyes, are you Jiang Yan's accomplice?" Wang Qi shouted at Han Qi, his eyes filled with hostility.
"Are you talking about the President?" Han Qi walked toward them. His body began to swell, his skin turning white and hardening, forming a full-body bone armor covered in bone spurs. His height also reached two and a half meters.
"Since you've come to Liuyang City, you might as well stay here forever." Han Qi's head was also covered by a bone helmet.
He was now twenty meters away from Tang Ling's group.
Tang Ling sneered: "That's quite the boast. Do you really think a Monster of unknown origin like you can keep us here?"
Peng!
"Then come and try!" Han Qi roared, and the concrete ground beneath his feet suddenly indented as he charged toward Tang Ling and the others.
Wang Qi's face was furious. He waved his hands backward, and the space behind him rippled, causing three Gatling guns to appear immediately.
"I'll take your head first, and then I'll go kill Jiang Yan later." Hatred flashed across Wang Qi's face. Since this man was Jiang Yan's subordinate, he should bear the responsibility for Jiang Yan's actions.
Bang Bang Bang!
He waved one hand forward, and the Gatling guns behind him began to spin rapidly. Streams of fire erupted, and the yellow trajectories of the bullets almost merged into a single line aimed at Han Qi.
"Wo Kao!"
"Ah Ah Ah, run!" When this scene unfolded, the remaining pedestrians' faces changed, and they scrambled to get away.
"Arrogance!" Han Qi shouted angrily. A large amount of white bone matter surged from his body, forming a bone shield in front of him. He charged forward, directly weathering the hail of bullets.
Bang Bang Bang! The bullets struck the white bone shield, blasting small pits into it, and white bone fragments flew everywhere. Many bullets even struck the street, creating small craters.
Gunfire filled the entire street, deafening everyone.
However, white bone matter continuously surged from Han Qi's shield, repairing it. He pushed forward ten meters while enduring the bullet rain. Seeing this, Wang Qi's expression changed: "So tough."
Tang Ling frowned at the sight and pointed a hand toward the charging Han Qi.
Weng! An invisible mental force quickly spread from her hand toward Han Qi.
Han Qi, who was charging, suddenly felt the world spinning around him. His face darkened: 'Damn it, a Mental Attack?'
Even the direction in which he was holding his shield started to skew, causing him to crash into a nearby shop.
Peng! The closed glass door was instantly shattered as Han Qi crashed inside the shop.
"That's our Captain for you!" Huang Hao, who was watching from behind, smiled.
Weng! Liu Hefu also seized the opportunity, aiming his mouth at the shop, and white light appeared.
"Be careful. This guy's strength might have reached the level of a Level Three Awakened," Tang Ling said with a grave expression.
When non-Mental Awakened increase their strength, their mental power is also boosted to a certain extent.
This prevents them from being instantly killed or having their minds severely damaged when facing a Mental-type Awakened One of the same rank.
Peng! The white light from Liu Hefu's mouth shot into the shop. The white energy explosion reappeared, wantonly destroying everything inside. Walls cracked, and smoke and dust rose.
Bang Bang Bang!
Wang Qi's Gatling guns turned and unleashed a barrage inside. The yellow muzzle flashes connected into a continuous stream, punching holes through the walls and blasting apart rubble.
Standing on the third floor, Li Yong watched this scene, his gaze fixed on Tang Ling: "A suspected Mental-type?"
Shua! His figure moved, and he effortlessly jumped onto the fourth floor next door, running quickly along the rooftop to approach Tang Ling's group.
At this point, the group was still unleashing firepower on Han Qi inside the shop. Under Tang Ling's control, Wang Qi and Liu Hefu managed to produce the terrifying firepower of a reinforced platoon.
Hong Long Long! After a minute of effort from the two of them, the two-story shop collapsed directly, making a huge noise, and a large amount of smoke and dust soared into the sky.
'Now!' The moment the building fell, white fur sprouted on Li Yong, who was on the third floor opposite them, and he jumped down immediately.
Peng! Li Yong's body slammed heavily onto the ground, the sound covered by the collapse of the shop.
Shua! His leg muscles bulged, and he instantly burst forth with terrifying speed, charging toward Tang Ling, who was standing in the middle of the group.
Tang Ling seemed to sense something at that moment and whipped her head around, only to meet a pair of cold eyes just two meters away.
"Goodbye!" Li Yong mouthed silently, and a white light erupted from his right hand, which he swung fiercely toward Tang Ling's neck.
Pu Chi! The white light turned into a thin line that flashed across Tang Ling's neck in an instant.
Huang Hao, seeing this behind her, had eyes wide with terror: "Captain!!!"
Shua! Li Yong instantly appeared in front of him, and with a cold expression, he slammed his palm down toward Huang Hao's heart.
Peng! With a muffled thud, a fresh, still-beating heart shot out and landed four or five meters away.
Everything happened so quickly that Wang Qi and Liu Hefu didn't even notice.
A line of blood appeared on Tang Ling's neck, and her face showed astonishment; she hadn't expected to die.
Blood began to seep from the bloodline on her neck, and her head fell backward, a torrent of blood spurting from her neck.
Wang Qi immediately turned around when he heard the commotion behind him, only to see a head, its face etched with surprise, falling near his feet.
He froze for a moment looking at the head, then his eyes turned blood red as he glared at Li Yong, who was charging toward him: "I'll kill you!"
The Gatling guns behind him immediately swiveled to aim at Li Yong.
However, all of this seemed too slow to Li Yong, so slow that he swung his right hand again, unleashing another thin line of white light.
"Watch out!" A loud shout came from beside Wang Qi, and then Liu Hefu slammed into him, pushing him out of the way.
Pu Chi! The white line sliced through Liu Hefu's chest, cutting him in half, his internal organs spilling onto the ground.
"Uncle Hefu!" Watching this, Wang Qi felt an intense wave of grief and fury surge into his heart.
Bang Bang Bang!
The Gatling guns fired at Li Yong without hesitation, the powerful barrage instantly covering the area in front of him.
Facing Wang Qi's attack, Li Yong seemed to have anticipated it, retreating a step to easily avoid the dense rain of bullets.
"Ah Ah Ah!" Wang Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared repeatedly, completely disregarding the dwindling energy remaining in his body.
