Hei Deng Xia Huo

Chapter 2 Surrounded

The Special Affairs Bureau agents crouching by the floor-to-ceiling windows of each room no longer hesitated, and pulled the triggers downwards.

Bullets rained down like a torrential downpour. Li Ang picked up the armored plate from the top of the armored vehicle, casually flung it backwards, and while blocking the rain of bullets, slid into the vehicle's cabin.

Inside the spacious compartment, four Special Affairs Bureau agents in black suits and headsets sat in front of the mobile command center's computer operating system.

Seeing Li Ang's sudden appearance, they subconsciously stood up. Three of them drew their weapons, while one swung his fist towards the red button next to the computer operating system.

Lingneng (spiritual energy) released.

The hem of Li Ang's clothes moved without wind, fluttering fiercely. The monocle on his nose reflected the light falling from the vehicle's roof.

Lingneng surged in the narrow space, easily penetrating the Special Affairs Bureau agents' defenses, causing their bodies to stiffen and become unable to move.

The veins on the face of the agent in the far corner bulged, his arms trembled slightly, but despite his best efforts, he couldn't push his fist even an inch towards the red button.

Li Ang ignored the frozen crowd, stepped forward, raised his arm, turned his hand into a gun, and pierced through the mobile command center.

The sturdy special alloy was as soft as mud in front of him. Accompanied by the crackling of electric sparks, the armored vehicle's internal power supply was cut off.

The energy fluctuations that had been hovering over the residential area, which made Li Ang feel annoyed, also dissipated.

Finally, that's better.

Li Ang slowly withdrew his arm, stomped his foot heavily, and shot up like a rocket, breaking through the damaged roof and hovering in mid-air.

The barrier suppressing extraordinary power, maintained by the armored vehicle, had dissipated.

Li Ang twisted his neck and scanned his surroundings.

Sense Connection

Morale Suppression

Paralysis Suggestion

Wherever his gaze fell, the Special Affairs Bureau agents fell like wheat stalks, unable to struggle.

The agents weren't all Wan Jia Xiong Meng players. Most of the people present were just elites who had undergone rigorous training, body enhancements, and were equipped with standard equipment.

Their armor couldn't block the violent Lingneng, and their tenacious will couldn't reverse and rewrite reality, forcing their temporarily paralyzed limbs to move again.

After a wave of Lingneng bombardment, only a very few superhumans could remain standing, but they were also in danger as their colleagues in the same room had already turned bloodshot eyes and pounced on them like wild beasts, roaring.

Sensory Intrusion

Mind Suggestion

The horror of Lingneng lies in its formlessness and ever-changing nature.

Once one's own resilience fails to provide immunity, the mind opens its doors and allows others to rewrite it.

Li Ang calmly withdrew his gaze, stepped on the air stairs, jumped to the rooftop terrace, and looked into the distance.

The Special Affairs Bureau headquarters is in... that direction.

He slowly bent his knees.

The ground of the rooftop terrace trembled slightly, and dust rustled.

Crack!

The ground inexplicably collapsed and caved in, cracking with spider web-like patterns.

Li Ang darted away like a sharp arrow, swooping down and walking in the air.

Prosperous streets, crowds, traffic, supermarket shops, green plants.

He had walked this road to and from school countless times, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

Startled exclamations came from the passers-by below, and the traffic at the intersection suddenly stopped, with several cars bumping gently into each other, emitting sharp, piercing horns.

Dive, advance.

The ground grew closer and closer in his vision.

The invisible stairs under Li Ang's feet suddenly disappeared. At the moment he was about to hit the ground, a white light flashed in his hand.

Summoning Technique: Fear Warhorse

The jet-black warhorse with its mane burning with cold flames emerged into reality, raising its head and neighing, its crimson eyes dragging out two red afterimages in mid-air.

Li Ang landed on the horse's back, and the Fear Warhorse's front hooves slammed heavily into the ground, splashing sparks of cold fire.

Advance Three.

Without a word, the warhorse obediently lowered its head, exhaling two streams of pale air from its nostrils.

The developed muscles all over its body pulsed and flexed beneath its skin.

Hooves hit the ground, trampled, galloped.

The wind howled past his ears, and the street scenes on both sides receded rapidly in his vision.

Wherever it passed, vehicles on both sides swerved and dodged, crashing into fire hydrants and kicking up water spouts.

Li Ang's heart was peaceful like never before, as still as water, unruffled.

The traffic ahead gradually thinned out, and the noise of helicopter rotor blades came from the sky.

They came a little faster than expected.

Li Ang was expressionless, and drew the Overlord's Barred Spear from the void.

After several battles, the sharp spear blade was already broken and incomplete, and the black spear shaft was covered with cracks.

But, still, it can still fight.

The Fear Warhorse turned into the intersection, and the street scene ahead suddenly widened.

Pedestrians, vehicles, all disappeared.

What replaced them were three groups of armored vehicles and fully armed mobile task force blocking the three sides of the intersection.

Just like when facing the Shenlong aberration,

The mobile task force built a solid temporary defense line at the intersection with machine gun turrets, fortifications, and energy shields.

Kaka Kaka

The roofs of the armored vehicles folded to both sides, and larger, more intricately patterned bismuth metal pillars rose, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Buzz!

The bismuth metal pillars emitted a strange pale blue light, extending upwards into the high sky from the armored vehicles, forming a light curtain.

The three armored vehicle teams formed three light curtains,

And from the street shops behind Li Ang, a group of mobile task force members rushed out,

Holding heavy, based bismuth metal pillars, patching up the gaps in the light curtain, forming four walls,

Enveloping Li Ang within.

Free-floating energy was suppressed.

Li Ang closed his eyes, feeling the subtle sense of energy flow blockage coming from his limbs.

"Surrender and be captured!"

A deep roar that shook the air came from the front.

A middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with a golden lion phantom floating behind him, charged towards Li Ang.

Tat-tat-tat-tat.

The ground under his feet vibrated and tore apart, and the lion phantom behind him roared angrily, repelling demons and dispelling evil.

The rapidly galloping Fear Warhorse seemed to be affected by the golden lion phantom as well, and the cold flames on its mane dimmed slightly.

An old acquaintance.

Xun Zi'an, the fifth squad leader of the mobile task force, whom he had encountered in the Sheng Nan Wang mission.

The corners of Li Ang's mouth curled up slightly. Without any slowing down or pausing, he instead drove the Fear Warhorse to accelerate again, charging towards Xun Zi'an and the towering pale blue light curtain.

"Roar!!!"

The lion phantom formed by the Lion Elephant Beast King's roar behind Xun Zi'an roared furiously.

Golden light flowed around him. His legs were firmly planted on the ground, and his arms swung backwards. Along with the expansion and compression of his back muscles, he suddenly threw a punch!

Li Ang leaned his body on the horse's back, neither dodging nor evading. He rotated his left fist, pushed it forward,

And directly collided with Xun Zi'an's arms.

Boom!!

The air burst open. The lion phantom behind Xun Zi'an suddenly trembled, and the whole person was like being hit by a high-speed train, rapidly retreating, his legs plowing long cracks in the ground.
