From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

...

The ambulance sped down the streets at eleven o'clock at night.

Suddenly, a tiger, reflecting a metallic luster like a tank, burst from the diagonally and with a bang struck the ambulance.

The ambulance immediately flipped on its side and crashed into the landscaped area.

Immediately after,

a person dressed in a nurse's uniform jumped down from the vehicle and sprinted forward—it was Sato Ichiro.

As he ran, he yelled, "Take action! Quick, take action! Protect me!"

He had barely taken a few steps.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a flame spat out from a kilometer away.

The bullet instantly pierced Sato Ichiro's body, making him tumble and scatter fresh blood all over the ground.

Immediately after, his body ignited with the flames of a Replacement Puppet.

The next moment, he got up again and continued to sprint forward.

At the same time,

several vehicles following the ambulance rushed forward and surrounded Sato Ichiro.

A dozen Fusang Superpower Users alighted from the vehicles, took out weapons, and began aiming in all directions.

Ninjas also disappeared into shadows, rushing towards the direction from which the shots had been fired.

Sato Ichiro was a core member of the Fusang financial conglomerate Sanyo Corporation. Since arriving in Da Xia, the entire Chunshang Group had been under his command.

Tonight's operation was not his alone.

The entire Chunshang Group had sprung into action.

However, before the operation commenced, the people of Chunshang Group did not know what the operation was or who the target was; they were only waiting for orders.

Now that the orders had arrived, five vehicles came forward to protect Sato Ichiro.

Gunmen, ninjas, samurais—some were responsible for protection, others for locating the sniper,

and some for dealing with the Mechanical Tiger that had flipped the ambulance.

Dada dada...

Three Fusang Superpower Users, carrying machine guns, fired at the Mechanical Tiger.

The bullets pinged off the Mechanical Tiger, some were deflected, others buried into the metal casing.

Yet, these did no damage to the Mechanical Tiger.

The Mechanical Tiger emitted a metallic roar and charged toward the group of Fusang Superpower Users.

One Fusang Superpower User rushed forward, unleashed Source Energy, and slammed his palms onto the ground.

The concrete ground rose up, forming a wall that blocked the Mechanical Tiger.

Bang!

The Mechanical Tiger crashed into the concrete, blasting a large hole.

...

On the other side,

Lin Zeyu swung his gun around, aimed at a Fusang Superpower User's head, and fired another shot.

Bang!

A headshot.

The next instant, a spark appeared on a building a kilometer away.

Lin Zeyu's eyes narrowed as he tried to roll and dodge, but it was almost too late.

The bullet smashed into the [Prism Tower Shield] in front of him, instantly shattering the shield.

It was Su Muyu's Defense Skill that saved him from the shot.

Lin Zeyu took the opportunity to get up and duck behind cover, changing his position, readying for the next attack.

On the other side,

Su Muyu controlled a reconnaissance hawk, beginning the search for the enemy sniper.

After firing one shot, the enemy sniper immediately changed positions, not remaining at the original firing spot.

However, Su Muyu's Perception had already reached 60 points.

With his high Perception combined with the reconnaissance hawk's Detection Ability, he locked onto the sniper from 300 meters away.

The sniper sprinted on the rooftop, used gliding abilities to jump to another building, then found a second sniper spot, lay down, and set up the sniper rifle, preparing to take the second shot.

Just then, an invisible reconnaissance hawk swooped down, launching a dive attack on him.

Scream!

The celestial falcon's diving talon strike, powered by 5× spiritual power with an Attack Power of 300 points under a 60-point spiritual boost,

calculating the defense and Defense Skills, this attack could heavily injure any Power User below Level 20.

And Su Muyu didn't give the sniper any chance to struggle.

After the swooping attack had hit, the reconnaissance eagle immediately changed its energy nature, transforming into a "Elemental Arrow·Fire."

Flame arrows erupted from within the body of the reconnaissance eagle, forming dozens of arrows scattering at close range.

The sniper suffered one swooping attack, and then was instantly blown apart by a scatter of flame arrows blazing across his back, enveloping him in flames and killing him instantly.

...

On the other side, after being subjected to a sniper attack, Lin Zeyu learned his lesson, moving to a different location after firing each shot, and when it came time to fire the third.

A shadow appeared, blinking behind Lin Zeyu, with a tachi thrusting straight out — it was a Fusang ninja, and one with rank at that.

Right after the ninja had stabbed at Lin Zeyu's back, his feet suddenly got entangled, and dozens of Dark Thorns extended from the ground, wrapping around his legs.

Lin Zeyu turned and pulled out his Silver Python Revolver, firing a shot at the ninja with a "bang."

The ninja immediately activated an Essential Skill, releasing a mist and instantaneously breaking free from the thorns' bind, disappearing from sight.

Lin Zeyu did not linger; he released an Energy Hook, leaping directly from the balcony with the help of the hook to swing to the opposite building, while saying through the communication channel, "There are ninjas! I'm being chased by ninjas!"

"They're gone now."

Lu Heng's voice came through, as he had disposed of that ninja with one sword strike and then leaped up, caught the claws of the reconnaissance eagle, and glided toward the battlefield.

At the start of the battle, only the Mechanical Tiger was on the frontlines.

Lu Heng had not appeared straight away, he had been waiting for the ninja.

Having dealt with the ninja who attacked Lin Zeyu, Lu Heng finally rushed toward the battlefield.

Five cars, a dozen Fusang Superpower Users, the machine guns rattling with fierce gunfire.

Nonetheless, all these were ineffective against Lu Heng.

Lu Heng dove down to the ground and, bursting forward, entered the Shadow amid a storm of bullets, exploding into quintuple speed within the blink of an eye and smashing into the midst of the Fusang Power Users, directly smashing their firearms.

Guns have a serious flaw; once the enemy enters within the formation, continuing to shoot could injure one's own people.

Thus, as Lu Heng broke into the formation of Fusang Superpower Users, the gunfire abruptly ceased.

Lu Heng was swift with his sword, slaying his opponents with strokes swift and deadly.

Even the Fusang Sword Saint could not withstand more than three moves; these Fusang gunmen and samurai were even more susceptible.

Lu Heng moved like a tiger among sheep, his blade unstoppable.

As Fusang samurai tried to block with their swords, Lu Heng would cut both the swordsman and the blade in two with a single swing.

Ah! Ah! Ah...

Cries of terror erupted from the crowd, blood splattering everywhere.

In an instant, the battlefield was transformed into a Shura Slaughterhouse.

Even some Fusang gunmen cried out in terror, turning to run only to be pounced on by the Mechanical Tiger, which crushed their heads.

One Fusang gunman drew his pistol, aiming at Lu Heng.

But Lu Heng was too fast, like a phantom weaving through the battlefield, making it extremely difficult to keep sight of him, let alone aim with a gun.

This Fusang gunman, already mentally broken, screamed and fired wildly.

Bang!

A shot rang out, hitting a Fusang samurai three meters in front of him, who fell to the ground clutching his abdomen, cursing loudly in Fusang.

In a matter of moments.

Lu Heng had significantly reduced the number of Fusang assassins, the ground awash with fresh blood and dismembered limbs.

In just a dozen breaths, there was no one left standing on the field.

Lu Heng released "Thunderous Heavenly Prison," the frenzied thunder igniting the gasoline on the ground, bursting into roaring flames.

Finally, Lu Heng approached Sato Ichiro.

Sato Ichiro, clutching at a wound on his chest, kept retreating until he backed against a wall on the roadside.

With a voice of wailing, he said, "Spare me, spare me."

Lu Heng's gaze was cold and silent as he raised his sword and brought it down with one stroke.

Thud!

Sato Ichiro's body split diagonally from the chest, blood spraying out, casting a bloody streak across Lu Heng's face.

In the light of the flames and blood, Lu Heng's ice-cold face took on an extra layer of ruthlessness and ferocity, as if a slayer had stepped out of hell.

Due to the battle ending so swiftly.

The Iron Blood and police squad could only arrive afterward.

Besides them, there was also an ambulance.

Someone had made a call; it was certain that the police and ambulance would come.

The paramedics glanced at the battlefield, hardly finding any casualties worth saving, then hurried to attend to the injured in their ambulance.

The ambulance that came to take Lu Heng was legitimately a medical vehicle, just that it had been controlled by Sato Ichiro.

Inside were also a driver and a medic.

Thus, the newly arrived paramedics quickly rescued the wounded from the vehicle to administer aid.
