The cigarette butt flickered in the dark night.
The footsteps in the alleyway were light and rhythmic.
Half a minute later, the footsteps stopped. Under the moonlight and the cold wind, Tang Ling's black robe fluttered, revealing half of his calm face.
The smoking man stood up. Even though he wanted to be calm, he could not hold back his excitement.
Even his steady hand that was holding the knife started to tremble. The butterfly knife could no longer swing beautifully.
Hence, he put away his butterfly knife.
Damn it! Why is my throat so dry? Why can't I say a word? Even though I've seen the face in the communication device, why am I so excited when the face is really standing in front of me?
"Aren't you Uncle Su Yao?" Tang Ling said. He pulled down his hood and looked at the unfamiliar man at the entrance of the alleyway with slight surprise.
"I'm the one waiting for you. He still needs some time before he can move. " Taking a deep breath, the man tried his best to calm himself down. He looked up and said, "I'm Ah Bing. You can call me Bing."
"Mm, Uncle Bing," Tang Ling greeted him.
But it was the simple title of Uncle Bing that made Abing's eyes sour.
He tried his best to hold it in and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Me?" Tang Ling raised a brow. "Shouldn't you tell me about your plan and …"
"No, we don't have any plans. We only have one goal, which is to make your plan go smoothly and bring you out of Safety Sector No. 17 safely. That's all, "Ah Bing explained.
Tang Ling went silent. Two seconds later, he said, "My plan is dangerous and reckless. I can do it alone."
"No, your safety is the most important. I don't think we have a choice but to follow your reckless plan because you will surely make a grand entrance. That's what Su Yao said. " Ah Bing stood up. A dart belt was tied around his waist with 20 darts and a butterfly knife neatly attached to it.
He carried a large bow on his back, and the bowstring emitted a cold light under the moonlight. A quiver was hung on his waist, and there were at least 30 arrows in it.
"Don't worry about our lives. Our lives should have ended 13 years ago. Thirteen years is already very painful. We have been waiting for this night. "
"Act according to the will of your heart. It was just like what Su Yao said. This grand entrance is not only necessary but necessary. You can't run away from Safety Sector No. 17 like a coward, not to mention that you've decided to stay because of Vian. "
Ah Bing's words were a little hard to understand. Tang Ling's heart rumbled with unusual emotions as he suddenly asked, "Who am I?"
Ah Bing was silent.
Tang Ling sighed and said, "I got out of the prison smoothly. Castellan Worf didn't just clear the obstacles for me, he even opened the prison gate for me."
"But in five minutes at most, everything will be exposed. There's not much time left. I have to go to Skysplit Tower. "
"Alright, as you wish. Just go ahead! "As he spoke, Abing silently reached his hand into his pocket and crushed a half-broken dog head.
All of a sudden, many people in Safety Sector No. 17 received a certain signal and heard a simple sentence, "Time is running out. I'm going to the Tower."
**
Woo, woo, woo …
The deafening siren finally broke the silence of the night.
The red siren and searchlights lit up the entire inner city of Safety Sector No. 17 in an instant.
The people who were already restless and unable to sleep were like frightened cats. Most of them abruptly jumped out of their beds. Even though there was a huge uneasiness surging in their hearts, there were still quite a number of people who chose to quietly walk to the window, open the curtains a little, and secretly look at the street.
"Oh my god, what's happening? Who are they? " A woman cried out in shock when she saw the scene on the street, but her husband covered her mouth right away.
"No matter who it is, I believe it's a response to the operation during the day. No one will be willing to be purged like this, including me. "The husband's last sentence was so soft that it was almost inaudible. The woman widened her eyes in fear.
Yes, who were those on the street? Those people in black robes, fully armed, and popping out from every corner and even the ground … Who were they?
Safety Sector No. 17 did respond to the incident. The alarm in Glory Hall rang loudly, and Arhan led 50 Purple Moon Warriors with a gloomy face as they departed.
As for the elite guards, all of them were equipped with firearms.
Tonight would be a night of slaughter.
Tang Ling walked ahead quickly. Beside him, behind him, and even in front of him, a group of unfamiliar men in black robes started to gather.
Even though Tang Ling did not know whether it was an illusion or not, he felt a sense of fanaticism in their eyes when they looked at him.
What were they fanaticism about?
Tang Ling could not come up with an answer. The first batch of elite warriors with firearms appeared.
There were no words, no signs, and no warnings. Like two streams of water crashing against each other, the battle began in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots were fired the moment they clashed.
Ah Bing, who had been standing beside Tang Ling, hurled a flying knife at him. Even Tang Ling could not capture the flying knife's speed. When he saw it clearly, the flying knife was already plunged into the throat of an elite warrior with a machine gun.
At that very moment, an unfamiliar man in front of Tang Ling suddenly turned around and said loudly, "Young master, if you slow down, it'll be an insult to us.
Please keep moving. "
Tang Ling pursed his lips, but he did not slow down at all. He then saw the unfamiliar man jump up and step on the high wall of the building beside him. He dashed towards the group of elite warriors in an unbelievable manner that was parallel to the ground.
In less than three seconds, he was already in front of the dead elite warrior. He picked up the machine gun and fired at the group of elite warriors without even looking at it.
Under his cover, a dozen black-robed men rushed towards the group of elite warriors. Ah Bing was watching from the sidelines. Every now and then, he would hurl a flying knife at the firing point of the group.
The man who shouted at Tang Ling started to tremble. A minute later, blood spurted out from his body.
Was he shot? Tang Ling's heart started to twitch. At the same time, he saw the dozen black-robed men successfully slaughter their way into the group of elite warriors.
Without the advantage of firearms, the elite warriors suffered a one-sided defeat.
"This is what war is all about. You have to get used to sacrificing yourself," Ah Bing said calmly in Tang Ling's ears.
Tang Ling did not say anything, but he did not slow down. Should I get used to it?
Gunshots and killing noises came from further down the street. Tang Ling was in a state of confusion and clarity at the same time.
He was confused because he thought it was just a dozen black-robed men who were protecting him. Why did the operation expand to become an operation against the entire Safety Sector No. 17?
He knew he was very important. His identity would soon be exposed, so all the operations would follow his footsteps. He had to tie himself to some unknown responsibility and honor.
As if to prove Tang Ling's words, Ah Bing added, "This isn't just your debut. It's also an announcement to the world that we're back. So … "
Ah Bing suddenly paused. He took out the longbow on his back and nocked an arrow. Then, he shot it into the air.
Bang! The seemingly ordinary arrow exploded in the air, and following the explosion, the figure of a Purple Moon Warrior appeared in the air.
The Purple Moon Warrior looked a little ragged as the pauldron on his left shoulder was broken. It was then that a woman behind Tang Ling jumped up and said, "Leave him to me." She then dashed towards the Purple Moon Warrior.
A second later, a series of explosions sounded behind Tang Ling as if some violent beasts were crashing into each other.
Then, a second Purple Moon Warrior appeared in front of the street. Another figure dashed towards the second Purple Moon Warrior without a sound.
In a split second, both of them clashed. Their blades flashed at the same time and an ear-piercing clank of metal clashing sounded.
Forward! Forward!
Tang Ling frowned as he watched more and more people gather around him. He also watched as the people around him left to fight one after another.
He watched as he walked past the intersection where he encountered the first group of elite warriors. The group of a hundred elite warriors was wiped out and their firearms were confiscated.
Then, he watched as the black-mantled figures with firearms jumped into the next battle.
In less than a minute, the slaughter had reached its climax. In less than a minute, the torrent of war had devoured hundreds of lives.
Get used to it? Tang Ling furrowed his brows as he hastened his steps and eventually started to run.
Even though he had to face the battlefield ruins every day, even though he had been through a lot of blood and death, he still could not get used to the tragedy of humans killing each other in this era.
As the wind howled, he felt like he had returned to that night when he helplessly watched the lives of the people in the settlement vanish one after another.
There was a kind of power and an extravagant hope that bloomed in his heart. He wanted to break this era and build a new one. At least …
Tang Ling clenched his fists tightly as he ran as fast as he could.
However, the few black-mantled figures beside him were still able to keep up with him easily.
The inner city was not that big, and the Tower of Babel was right in front of them.
However, in front of the Tower of Babel was Glory Square and Glory Hall. Groups of elite warriors were lined up neatly in the square, and the cannons from the old civilization were pointed at Tang Ling and his group.
There were also 20 Purple Moon Warriors lined up in a row. Arhan's red mantle fluttered in the wind while his face was gloomy. When he saw Tang Ling, he felt like he was looking at his nemesis. He cleared his throat and slowly walked out from the group of Purple Moon Warriors.
At that very moment, time seemed to overlap. Tang Ling's eyes that were suppressing the cold hatred felt like he saw the stormy night when he walked out from the group of Purple Moon Warriors and uttered the word "kill" in a cold voice.
"Leave him to me," Tang Ling said to Ah Bing beside him in a heavy voice.
Ah Bing was not surprised as if it was natural for a New Moon Warrior like Tang Ling to challenge a branch captain of a Purple Moon Warrior.
"20 minutes. I want to stay in the Tower of Babel for 20 minutes. He'll be the first person I sacrifice to the settlement when I come out, "Tang Ling said calmly.
Tang Ling's words sounded like it was a matter of course, which made him seem arrogant. Just like how the black-robed men could break through the blockade with such a formation, just like how he could kill Arhan after staying in the Tower for 20 minutes.
However, was Tang Ling arrogant? Never. He could even play the fool in order to hide his strength and bide his time.
The reason why he was so calm was because he saw three people.
Yes, there were three of them.
They inconspicuously walked out from the group of black-robed men. They were inconspicuous at first, but as they walked forward for a few meters, their aura grew stronger. In the end, they were so strong that Tang Ling felt like he was suffocating.
Swoosh! The three of them removed their black robes at the same time, revealing their uniforms.
It was a very handsome uniform. It was pure white, elegant, clean, and elegant. The sleeves and lapels were embroidered with ancient Huaxia cloud patterns and the emblem on their shoulders were two abstract golden dragons.
The long sleeves fluttered in the wind as if the dark patterns of the ferocious tiger on their backs had come alive in the wind.
"Wow!" Cheers came from the team of the black-cloaked people. They couldn't suppress their excitement.
Arhan was a little confused. Are they serious about fighting in white? Given his experience, he did not understand what the uniform represented.
He was just a little annoyed because he was about to face a bloody battle. He missed the good wine, beautiful women, delicious food, and warm rooms in the past.
So, he just slowly took off his gloves, coughed softly, waved his hand, and casually said, "Fight."
Boom! The cannons in front of him spat out flames mercilessly. Giant cannons were fired out from the muzzle and fired at the place where the black-robed men gathered the most.
At that moment, the man in the middle of the three white uniforms, who had flaxen hair and a pair of brown eyes that were as deep as the starry sky, moved.
His hand gently stroked the white uniform, and the uniform magically turned into a dark color like the night. The long hem of the uniform turned into a tactical belt, and with a snap, it was fastened to his waist. The black tiger on his back emitted a metallic luster, and instantly turned into countless metal pieces. They flew up, and under the metallic luster, they quickly gathered together, forming shoulder armor, arm guards, chest armor, leg guards, and a helmet in the shape of a tiger's head. With a swoosh, the man put them on.
What a nostalgic scene!
Abing's eyes showed an emotion that only he could understand. He watched as the man suddenly raised his hands. His flaxen hair fluttered even though there was no wind. The black robe on his body also fluttered like a gale.
"Bind!" The man only shouted one word, and the most magical scene happened.
The cannons and bullets that were flying in the air all stopped as if pairs of invisible hands had grabbed them.
"Hoho, the Seven Syllables Bind. How nostalgic." Standing on the right was a dark-skinned woman with an alluring body and curly hair. Her long, slender legs were full of charm as she strode forward.
Her hand gently stroked the white uniform, and the same scene happened again. The uniform instantly turned black, and the dark tiger pattern on the back turned into a silver tiger helmet.
She walked faster and faster, and in the next moment, she turned into a silver bolt of lightning. When her figure became clear again, she was already among the elite guards.
Swoosh! A gigantic tornado suddenly appeared behind the woman. She casually drew an arc in the air with her hand, and the tornado followed the arc and crazily swept across the elite guards. In an instant, over a hundred warriors were sucked into the air.
Arhan's expression changed when he saw the silver tiger helmet. He seemed to have thought of something as he shouted, "Purple Moon Warriors, attack!"
Whoosh! Right after the order was given, the 20 Purple Moon Warriors leaped up at the same time and Transient Step. Like a bolt of purple lightning, they tore the dark sky apart.
The man on the left was wearing a white uniform. He had the same black hair and black eyes as Tang Ling, but he seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
He did not even change his uniform, allowing it to retain its luxurious appearance.
He took out a bottle of wine and with a sigh in his eyes, he opened the lid and took a sip. The 20 Purple Moon Warriors were about to charge into the black-robed men.
The man straightened his body and bellowed at the 20 Purple Moon Warriors.
Buzz! Tang Ling could not hear what the man was shouting. All he felt was a buzzing noise in his ears as he fell into a state of dizziness.
However, the target of the attack was not Tang Ling. Even though he felt that way, the Purple Moon Warriors who were facing the black-haired man's roar were interrupted. Everyone covered their ears uncontrollably as they stumbled and crashed into each other.
The man did not even spare a glance at the Purple Moon Warriors. He opened the bottle and took another sip as if he had nothing to do with it.
What kind of battle was this? Since when did the Purple Moon Warriors become so weak?
Was the first one an excellencer? Was he using his spirit to control objects?
The second one was a high-rank wind talent user?
Thirdly, was the innate talent he had mastered an unorthodox skill called 'Sound'?
Tang Ling was escorted by Ah Bing and a buff man with a heavy hammer on his left and right as they dashed towards the Tower.
"Turn," the man with flaxen hair behind him said again.
The cannonballs that were restrained by him suddenly turned around and flew towards the elite guards.
In the next second, a series of explosions sounded and agonizing screams echoed endlessly.
Fuuu! The tornado exploded and hundreds of elite warriors fell to the ground after being sucked into the tornado. However, it was not the end. The tornado that exploded turned into giant wind blades and slashed the elite guards one after another.
"Woo … Woo … Woo … Woo …" At this moment, the man who was drinking started to hum a seemingly ancient tune. It was as though he was a mournful poet who was wandering in a bloody battlefield.
The Purple Moon Warriors who had just woken up from the roar could not suppress the sadness and dispiritedness in their hearts. They did not want to fight anymore as they had lost their will and will to fight.
On the contrary, the faces of the black-robed men on the other side were all red, as if they had been injected with endless courage and strength. They were filled with the excitement of not fearing death. They raised their weapons high and shouted, "Kill!"
It was the three of them that turned the black-mantled men's disadvantageous situation around in an instant.
The three of them displayed combat strength that exceeded Tang Ling's knowledge. Who in Safety Sector No. 17 could rival them? Castellan Worf was the only one.
After all, the power of space was something that struck fear into people's hearts.
However, regardless of what kind of power it was or what kind of combat strength it was, Tang Ling was fearless! As long as he did not die, he would keep moving towards the peak. He had to stand at the peak.
He wanted to break this era! Break …! The Seed of Desire finally sprouted and grew into a seedling that was rooted deep in his heart!
Amidst the flashes of swords and the rain of bullets, Tang Ling sprinted towards the Tower. The passion in his heart was ignited.
There must be a stage for him in this place.
