Almost half of the capital city sensed the shocking attack. Invisible waves swept across the entire city. Countless light beams and crystal processors were jammed. Deep inside the streets and alleys, flocks of frightened birds soared to the sky and fled in a hurry. …
All the Yuanying experts and the experts of Jin Dan in the city were alarmed. They all raised their heads in that direction. Several Cultivators who had been flying toward the place accelerated and turned into streaks of brightness!
The attack was completely beyond Li Yao's limits.
He was like a clay idol that had been smashed into pieces, suddenly losing all color. He hovered in the air for a moment, and then fell headfirst into the ground, into the crowd!
"Demon!
"A demon! A demon is here! "
"What intense demonic energy. What — what level is this great demon at?"
Everybody saw his aggressive appearance and scattered. The Cultivators all drew their sabers and swords and protected the ordinary people next to them. They couldn't have looked more anxious!
Thankfully, the roaming team was mostly composed of seasoned veterans. What kind of demon had they not seen before?
Thanks to their efforts, the situation was not as chaotic as it had been after the explosion in the Federation Square a few days ago.
"He — he is asking to be killed!"
Lu Zui rolled his eyes and was overjoyed. "He was stupid enough to release such intense demonic energy in public! The evidence is undeniable! Excellent. Excellent. It's even better than killing him directly! Hurry up and take him down! "
Almost ten crystal warships stopped above the crowd's head. Dozens of Secret Sword Agents swarmed out and darted toward where Li Yao had fallen!
A solemn voice echoed in the sky, mixed with inviolable authority. "The Secret Sword Bureau is here to capture a spy of the demon race. All citizens, please remain calm and do not panic. Everything is under control!"
Li Yao was lying on the ground. Half of his facial cover was broken, revealing his right eye, which was somewhat hollow. He stared at the sky that was about to be covered by the clouds in a daze.
The Hellish River Cannon had drained all the strength in his body. At the very least, it would be difficult for him to breathe in the next few minutes. Any random Secret Sword Agent would be able to execute him.
The plan … had failed!
Did he regret it?
Perhaps.
However, if he had to do it again, would he have a second choice?
Li Yao turned his head with difficulty. He wanted to see if the people behind him were affected by the explosion, but his eyes were blurred. He couldn't see clearly if there were any other expressions on their panicked faces.
"Don't be afraid."
He vaguely saw a chubby little boy in the crowd. He was hugging his father's leg tightly and trembling.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the little fatty that he had seen at dusk in East Seagull Port, the little boy who had sworn to become 'Vulture Li Yao'.
He reached out to the little boy and smiled. "Don't be afraid, I'm not …"
"Capture the demon spies!"
Almost ten aggressive Secret Sword Agents interrupted him. Their chainswords, which were glittering coldly, were aimed at the critical parts all over his body and pressed toward him!
Li Yao closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He struggled to get up.
He was a Cultivator. He did not have the habit of dying while lying down!
"I'm sorry, Director Guo. I'm sorry, Professor Mo. I'm sorry, Wu Mayan. I'm sorry … Ding Ling Dong!"
Li Yao fell on one of his knees. Brutality beaming out of his eyes, he clenched his saber. Blood was spurting out!
The Jade Crystal Disc was right in his pocket. He planned to throw the Jade Crystal Disc as hard as he could in the last battle and try his luck!
At the last moment when the atmosphere was so intense that it was about to explode —
"Wait!"
A wrinkled hand suddenly appeared between Li Yao and the 'patriot'.
On the back of the hand where veins were bulging out was a tattoo that a bottom-level officer of the Union Army often had. It had been blurred by the passage of time and could no longer be separated from the flesh on the body.
The owner of the tattoo was wearing an old, bleached military uniform without epaulets and armbands. He had a shiny iron skull where almost ten iron rivets had been smashed. Below the rivets were a pair of eyes that were as sharp as a hawk's.
It was exactly the disabled veteran who had stopped Li Yao in the beginning and inquired about his identity!
More veterans, especially the low-level Cultivators among the veterans, surrounded him!
They did not see anything wrong, but they had sensed the intense demonic energy and realized that there were demons in this place. That was all.
Although they were disabled, their spiritual energy was weak, and they had been discharged from the Union Army decades ago …
They still considered themselves as members of the Union Army, as Cultivators, and as warriors who protected the ordinary people and defended every inch of the land of the Federation!
Therefore, when the ordinary people scattered, these veterans went against the flow and rushed over!
Even if there was a demon that they could not resist, they could at least buy a few more seconds for the evacuation of the crowd with their incomplete bodies!
The steel-skulled veteran glanced at Li Yao like a hawk first before he glanced at the barrels of 'Hidden Star' that were still emitting spiritual waves in midair.
Like an iron rod, he stabbed between Li Yao and the 'patriots' unreasonably, blocking Li Yao behind him!
The steel-skulled veteran had a lot of comrades who had fought side by side for decades. Although they did not understand what he was up to, they still followed him quickly and formed a wall around him!
The disabled veterans of the world were a family. Most of the veterans did not know them at all, but seeing that they were doing so, they also joined them. The wall of people grew thicker and thicker, until Li Yao was completely trapped inside!
Several veterans looked at Li Yao warily, but they were also staring at the Secret Sword Agents and the crystal warship above their heads warily.
"What's going on? Who are you? "
The steel-skulled veteran asked gloomily, as if he were lecturing his son.
"The Secret Sword Bureau is here to capture a demon spy. Thank you for your help, kind citizens!"
One of the Secret Sword Agents observed the situation and quickly smiled. "The demon is extremely dangerous. Please hand him over to us as soon as possible in case the innocent people are hurt!"
"You are scared that the innocent people will be hurt?"
The steel-skulled veteran sneered and spat at the feet of the Secret Sword Agent. He said quickly, "The Three Stars Slant Moon Cannon is a super crystal cannon developed by the Federation fifteen years ago. It is designed to deal with single targets on the ground. The attack unit adopts one 'Splitting Lightning Seven Terminal Array' and two 'Cathode Pole Broken Star Arrays'. It can swallow twenty kilograms of high-quality crystals of the thunder class at a time and transform the spiritual energy inside the crystals into damage. The maximum range of attack is more than three hundred meters. A full-strength attack can penetrate through the super alloy armor ten meters thick!
"Just now, you were using such a thing. You must've maximized the power of the cannon, right?
"Thankfully, the demon jumped up voluntarily and blocked the attack for us. If the attack had hit the ground, the hundreds of people around the demon would've been roasted. It is needless to say that, should the crowd be alarmed and fall into chaos, it would've been like the square of the Federation a few days ago!
"Is this how the Secret Sword Bureau works? Are you trying to catch a bad guy or demolish a house? Where is your boss? Call him out! "
The few Secret Sword Agents looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not expect to run into someone who knew what they were doing. The leader of the Secret Sword Agents laughed dryly and said, "Master, are you mistaken? Did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstand my a * *!"
The steel-skulled veteran scolded him mercilessly. He rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, revealing his chest that was as dry as an orange peel.
On his chest, other than the socket of an artificial heart, there was an even larger and more eye-catching tattoo that looked like … a crystal cannon that had grown wings!
"Bros, let's tell these blind b * stards what we do for a living!"
The few veterans who were as old as him all burst into laughter. They rolled up their sleeves and opened their shirts, revealing the same tattoo. They shouted, "Look carefully, b * stards. We are all veterans of the Crystal Cannon Brigade under the command of the 55th Division! When we were smashing the eggs of the demons on the Grand Desolate Plateau with our crystal cannons, you were still f * cking breastfeeding!
"Our Commander Zhang was the most famous' Cannon King 'of the 55th Division eighty years ago. He said that he would shoot a crystal cannon from fifty kilometers away, and he would never shoot a demon beast in the ass!
"Let me tell you something. Even the most advanced crystal cannons have to be consulted by an experienced cannoneer such as Brother Zhang. What crystal cannon in the Federation hasn't Brother Zhang played with before? How can Brother Zhang be wrong? He must be f * cking wrong! "
The few Secret Sword Agents were completely dumbfounded. They could not utter a single word.
Many veterans had heard the name 'Cannon King' Zhang Danao before. They knew that the guy was just like his name. He would make a fuss whether he was in the right or not. Although he was only in the fifth level of the Refinement Stage, he was one of the most influential people in the Association of Disabled Veterans.
Hearing that Zhang Danao was making a fuss, more veterans and people who did not know the truth swarmed forward. The crowd that had dispersed a moment ago was gathering again!
Zhang Danao was too lazy to bother with the Secret Sword Agents. He turned around and looked at Li Yao. Observing for a long time, he still could not see anything. He asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you wearing such a bloody, sticky thing? Is it a Crystal Suit or a biochemical beast? Are you a human being or a demon? A new species? "
Li Yao was too feeble to say anything.
"Be careful. He is extremely dangerous!"
One of the Secret Sword Agents shouted drily.
"Get lost. I've f * cked more demon beasts than you've f * cked bitches. Can such a half-dead thing bite my balls?"
Zhang Danao squatted next to Li Yao and observed carefully for a long time. Scratching his iron head, he asked in confusion, "You could've dodged it just now, couldn't you? Two crystal cannons. Even if you couldn't dodge the first one, you certainly could've dodged the second one with your capability!
"But you didn't dodge it. Instead, you flew into the air and fought it head-on!"
"Why?"
"If you had dodged it, you would've been fine. But a lot of people would've died down there, including me. I've fought against the demon race for sixty years. I was not killed by the claws of demon beasts but almost killed by the barrels of my own people! Hehe. The almighty 'Cannon King' was killed by a crystal cannon? This is f * cking interesting! "
