Chapter 166: Special Items for Early Entry into the Abyss Battlefield

"Kill them all!"

A chilling murderous intent flashed in Nagakawa Tomo's eyes as he gave the order.

Over a dozen Japanese assassins rushed out from behind the screen, wielding machine guns, assault rifles, and cyber ray guns, firing at Lu Heng and his companions.

Rat-a-tat-tat...

Bang, bang, bang...

The bullets formed a steel barrage, raining down on Lu Heng and his group.

If it were anyone else, they would have been shredded instantly under such a fierce attack.

Su Muyu was prepared and quickly raised a Prism Force Field to protect the three of them.

The bullets struck the force field, their speed rapidly reduced to zero, and they clattered to the ground.

The Prism Force Field's defense was indeed strong, but it could only last for six seconds.

Lin Zeyu hurriedly loaded his revolver and fired at Nagakawa Tomo.

Two Japanese assassins stood in front of Nagakawa Tomo, raising protective shields to block the bullets.

Both sides relied on their defensive skills to withstand the gunfire.

However, as time passed, the energy glow of the Prism Force Field began to weaken. Once the six seconds were up, it would no longer be able to withstand such intense gunfire.

Su Muyu quickly released the Divine Feathered Eagle, which pounced towards Nagakawa Tomo.

Nagakawa Tomo raised his hand and grabbed the eagle in midair, freezing it in place.

Recognizing this move, Lu Heng identified it as the ability of a Second Rank Mindbender.

Mindbenders could manipulate objects in midair and possessed considerable strength.

No wonder the Creators organization had their eyes on him; he possessed the rare Second Rank of Mindbender.

With Mirror Clone and Dominate Will, Nagakawa Tomo's strength could be considered peak-level among current psychic powerhouses.

The Divine Feathered Eagle and Nagakawa Tomo's psychic power clashed, and for a moment, the eagle couldn't break free.

A nearby Japanese assassin immediately unleashed a Vacuum Wave, pounding the Divine Feathered Eagle.

After its upgrade, the eagle's endurance had increased significantly, but it couldn't withstand the simultaneous attacks of so many assassins. It was about to be blasted apart.

Su Muyu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly transformed the energy of the Divine Feathered Eagle into dozens of flame arrows, which scattered downwards.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The flame arrows rained down, piercing three assassins without shields, who fell to the ground, groaning in pain and writhing as they tried to extinguish the flames.

Time ticked by, and only three seconds remained before the Prism Force Field would disappear.

Lu Heng immediately unleashed his Source Essence energy and executed Rift Slash.

A five-meter-long rift blade slashed horizontally, instantly breaking through the defensive shields of the assassins and cutting several of them in half. Blood splattered everywhere.

At that moment, Nagakawa Tomo's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed six assassins with his telekinetic power, pulling them back to avoid the Rift Slash. The remaining assassins who weren't pulled away were all cut in half.

As these assassins fell, their guns clattered to the ground.

Nagakawa Tomo's eyes darkened, and he raised his palm, using his telekinetic power to grab over a dozen machine guns and assault rifles to continue firing.

The firepower was just as intense as before.

Lu Heng saw that he had played all his cards, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He tightened his grip on the Aurora Blade and began to charge.

After the upgrade, Gale Step had become Wind Runner, which not only increased running speed by 120% but also had another effect.

Charging for two seconds granted Wind Runner status, providing a 3x speed boost and enabling a linear thrust attack.

Lu Heng charged for two seconds, compressing the power of the gale, and then burst forward, transforming into a lightning bolt and shooting out at a terrifying speed of 200 meters per second.

In this space of less than 10 meters, he could reach the end in just 0.05 seconds.

In the blink of an eye, the Aurora Blade pierced through two assassins, and the tip of the blade plunged into Nagakawa Tomo's abdomen.

Pffft!

Nagakawa Tomo's body trembled, and his telekinetic power vanished, causing the guns to drop from the air.

He stared at Lu Heng, opening his mouth to speak: "You..."

Lu Heng withdrew his sword and moved the bodies of the two assassins aside, preparing to deliver another blow.

Nagakawa Tomo quickly took out the invitation letter from the Creators organization and held it up to Lu Heng, saying, "I've already agreed to join the Creators. You can't kill me."

Lu Heng reached out, grabbed the invitation letter, and pulled it back, "I'm sorry, but you haven't gained my approval, so I'm taking back the invitation letter."

"You!" Nagakawa Tomo's eyes widened in anger.

Lu Heng thrust his sword down, piercing his chest.

At that moment, Nagakawa Tomo crushed something, and his body suddenly flickered and disappeared, leaving behind only a few drops of blood on the ground.

Lu Heng's eyes narrowed as he realized Nagakawa Tomo had vanished.

Su Muyu reacted quickly and immediately controlled the Divine Feathered Eagle to search, but after circling the hotel, they couldn't find Nagakawa Tomo.

Lin Zeyu rushed over, staring at the ground: "What happened? Is it a teleportation skill?"

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "It's not a teleportation skill. If it were, the distance wouldn't be too far, and Muyu would easily find him. Moreover, teleportation skills rarely appear in skill crystal cores below S-rank. His Second Rank is Mindbender, which doesn't have a teleportation skill."

Teleportation skills are space-based abilities, and S-rank and below crystal core skills don't include teleportation.

Even S-rank and above crystal core skills rarely possess teleportation.

In general, higher-tier source essence skills have a greater probability of granting instant teleportation abilities.

After a comprehensive analysis, it is impossible for Nagakawa Tomo to have a teleportation skill.

"I searched the entire one-kilometer radius around the hotel and found nothing," Su Muyu walked up and reported her reconnaissance results.

"It’s not a teleportation skill. How did this person suddenly disappear?" Lin Zeyu scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and suggested a possibility: "He probably entered the Abyss Battlefield."

"Enter the Abyss Battlefield? That’s quite a coincidence, isn’t it?" Lin Zeyu blinked his eyes.

Su Muyu quickly glanced at the time and said, "It’s 11:12 PM now, not the summoning time for the Abyss Battlefield."

So far, all the information indicates that the summoning time for the Abyss Battlefield is always at midnight.

The current time is incorrect.

Lu Heng explained, "There must be a special item that allows for early teleportation."

Indeed, such an item exists, known as the [Abyssal Beacon].

When the countdown for the Abyss Battlefield summoning appears, using the [Abyssal Beacon] can directly teleport the user into the Abyss Battlefield.

Yes, this item is very powerful.

Once the summoning countdown appears, using this item to teleport early into the Abyss Battlefield means the user can enter up to 7 days in advance.

If it’s a competitive battlefield mode, entering 7 days early can provide a significant advantage.

Thus, the value of this item is immeasurable.

Used well, it can allow the user to control lightning and thunder in the Abyss Battlefield.

However, this item is single-use, and it disappears after one use.

Furthermore, it can only teleport one person.

If a team is summoned, everyone in the team will have the summoning countdown appear.

At this point, if one member uses the [Abyssal Beacon], only that member can enter early, while the others still have to wait for the countdown to end before teleporting.

Even if only one person can enter early, this item, when used well, is enough to dominate the battlefield.

"What do we do now? If this person enters the Abyss Battlefield, we can’t follow him in," Lin Zeyu scratched his head, feeling the situation becoming more complicated.

Lu Heng glanced at the summoning countdown on the data panel, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "That’s not necessarily the case."

"What do you mean by not necessarily?" Lin Zeyu didn’t immediately understand what he meant.

Su Muyu, being quick-witted, immediately understood and explained, "This item allows for early teleportation into the Abyss Battlefield, which means Nagakawa Tomo must have already been summoned.

"The summoning countdown is usually 7 days, so the Abyss Battlefield that summoned him must have a countdown of 7 days or less.

"He has the abilities of a [Mindbender], and at this stage, the chances of completing a second-rank source essence fusion are very low.

"

At this stage, the number of mutants who can obtain a second-rank source essence is very small.

Lin Zeyu’s eyes widened immediately, "If that’s the case, he’ll have time to set up an ambush for us if he enters early."

Lu Heng nodded, "Yes, if we enter the same Abyss Battlefield, Nagakawa Tomo will have the first-mover advantage, and we’ll be at a disadvantage from the start."

Lin Zeyu became tense, "Then we need to hurry and prepare."

Lu Heng shook his head with a smile, "There’s not much we can do in preparation outside. We don’t even know which Abyss World we’ll enter. At most, we can bring more weapons and supplies."

Su Muyu thought of another key point and said, "If he enters a different Abyss Battlefield than us, he could teleport back at any time, right?"

Lu Heng nodded, "Yes, if he enters a different one, he will teleport back once the Abyss Battlefield ends."

Since the time flow in the Abyss Battlefield and the main world is different, it’s impossible to determine when Nagakawa Tomo will teleport back.

However, it can be certain that the time won’t be too long, generally not exceeding three days.

Lin Zeyu’s eyes lit up, "Should we wait for him here? As soon as he comes out, I’ll shoot him."

Lu Heng considered for a moment and said, "No, let’s focus on preparing to enter the Abyss Battlefield. Someone will handle this here."

If Lu Heng’s prediction was correct, not long after, Senior Inspector Chen Lianian of the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau broke down the door with his team.

However, upon entering, he found that the battle was already over.

There had been a fierce gunfight here, shattering the windows of the suite. Chen Lianian received the task and immediately rushed over.

Seeing the "old friend" again, Lu Heng shrugged and briefly explained what had happened.

After listening, Chen Lianian immediately sealed off the Noa Hotel.

The major shareholder behind the Noa Hotel has Japanese capital involvement, and they initially wanted to file a protest with the foreign affairs department, but it was forcefully suppressed.

Subsequently, the Iron Blood set up a control perimeter around the Noa Hotel.

This time, Nagakawa Tomo bringing so many Japanese killers into the country has crossed a red line.

The higher-ups issued a strict order: as soon as Nagakawa Tomo appears, he must be captured immediately, dead or alive.
