Chapter 546: At the Entrance
Chapter 546: At the Entrance
In an instant, Yu Lie reached the front of a mounted soldier and threw a punch, striking the horse's belly. The force of the blow traveled through the horse's body and into the knight's body.
Without a second thought, Yu Lie swiftly moved from one horse to another, delivering a series of punches as he passed each one, leaving behind a trail of striking sounds.
The mounted soldiers froze for a moment, then, along with their dragon-nosed horses, they tumbled to the ground, lifeless by the time they hit the ground.
In just the time of a breath, the small squad of mounted soldiers, including their captain, had been eliminated.
Chen Bitong remained motionless and indifferent throughout the entire encounter.
Yu Lie glanced at the rift and said nonchalantly, "The split body is right on the other side, right? Won't they use it to control this rift?"
Fang Zhixin replied, "Don't worry. Although it looks like a rift, it's actually a connection of three passages. The split body will only hide in the gap between the two realms, and as long as they travel through it to our side, the rift will only connect them to us. Unless they send more people, they won't be able to control it."
Yu Lie asked, "So, what do we do next? Do we just stand here and wait for them to come?" He looked ahead, "That should be their vanguard, right? If they don't receive a response from the vanguard, will they come again?"
Fang Zhixin looked at the rift and said seriously, "They won't give up this secure location. They will definitely gather their forces on the other side and then rush over in one go. Our task is to stop those who try to cross the rift."
At this moment, Yu Lie was a bit confused. If they wanted to stop them, why create this rift in the first place? But his outward appearance was that of someone who didn't like to delve into problems and showed little interest in many things. Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, he said nonchalantly, "Then we'll just take them down one by one."
Fang Zhixin looked at him and said, "I'm not just talking about the other side, but also those coming from behind us."
Yu Lie smiled and said stubbornly, "There's no difference."
Just as he finished speaking, a muffled gunshot sounded from the distance, startling him. He turned to look.
Chen Bitong, with his hand still in a grabbing position, casually released his fingers, and a nearly ten-centimeter-long long-range sniper bullet fell to the ground with a ding.
He looked ahead, where a group of people were approaching.
Lao Hu spoke to the interdimensional connector, "Don't waste your energy. The position you're standing in is within his field domain. From the moment you stepped in, he's been aware of everything you're doing."
The sniper on the rooftop looked at the distance, which was about three hundred meters away. Could there be a field domain this large?
Lao Hu looked ahead and said, "Don't doubt it. He's Chen Bitong." Then he turned to the mercenaries following him and said, "Since you've taken the money, you should do the job."
Even after seeing Chen Bitong catch the bullet with his bare hands, the mercenaries didn't retreat. Instead, they said, "Of course, we follow the rules."
Lao Hu didn't say anything further. He gestured to Ahan and the four team members to follow him, and then he walked towards Chen Bitong as if he had no concerns at all.
When Lao Hu reached Chen Bitong, Chen Bitong said, "Lao Hu, I didn't expect it to be you. It's been five years, hasn't it? You've joined the Temporary Special Action Committee?"
Lao Hu replied in a hoarse voice, "Where else is there to join?" He took off his gloves and pulled out a document from his pocket.
"By the order of the Special Operations Commission, I arrest the suspected traitor, Chen Bitong. Chen Bitong, will you come with me, or should I take action?"
Chen Bitong spoke in a low voice, "If you want something, come and get it yourself."
Lao Hu looked at Chen Bitong with cold and gloomy eyes, but he didn't make any reckless moves.
Lao Hu and Chen Bitong had been members of the exploration team together, and he knew Chen Bitong's strength and abilities. It had been five years, and Chen Bitong's reputation had grown, even though Lao Hu had also improved. But the Chen Bitong he knew now was somewhat different from the one he had known before.
Lao Hu gestured, and the four team members assigned to him by Mr. Chu rushed forward without hesitation.
However, at that moment, gunfire erupted from the buildings on both sides. It was Chen Bitong's people who had been prepared in advance, but all four of them were wearing protective gear, so they simply raised their hands to cover their faces.
Yu Lie saw Lao Hu and the four team members behind him and realized that the Special Operations Commission had arrived. He finally felt relieved, but it wasn't time to reveal themselves yet. So, he pretended to move forward, but Fang Zhixin stopped him.
"That person is an old friend of the teacher. The teacher can handle it himself."
Just as they were speaking, the confrontation in front of them had already concluded. The four people punched towards Chen Bitong, but not a single one of them managed to hit him.
The closest person to Chen Bitong was still half a meter away, and his fist stopped there.
It looked strange. Their punching direction was correct, and Chen Bitong hadn't moved from his original position, yet they seemed to have misjudged his location, and their fists all landed in empty space.
Not only that, but the four people seemed to have suddenly lost their strength, wobbling and falling to the ground.
Lao Hu, who was behind them, saw it clearly. It was a mental influence that caused the four people's senses to become displaced, making them think that Chen Bitong was in the position where their fists had struck.
And similarly, due to the mental guidance, they unleashed all their power without regard for themselves, even stimulating their Essence Blood, which eventually not only damaged their internal bodies but also caused them to pass out from exhaustion.
After the fighters reached perfection in both spirit and body, whether it was spiritual or physical strength, either one alone could easily crush any fighter in this realm, let alone Chen Bitong, who had no shortcomings in either direction.
He looked deeply into Chen Bitong's eyes, but still didn't make a move. Instead, he said, "Ahan, come here."
The man called Ahan walked forward without hesitation, tore off the cover clothing on his body, revealing a body covered in scales and bulging muscles.
He glared at Chen Bitong, his mouth full of sharp fangs, and his eyes were like those of a lion-tiger with round pupils, clearly indicating he had undergone a full implant transformation.
His exposed muscles were so robust that they were suffocating, but when he took a step forward, it gave off a light and agile feeling, indicating that his body had excellent coordination and speed.
He stared at Chen Bitong for a few moments, his brow furrowed as if he was on guard. After confirming, he darted diagonally forward at such a high speed that even Fang Zhixin and Yu Lie felt their vision couldn't keep up.
When he reached Chen Bitong's side, he leaped forward, and before he could charge into Chen's front, long tentacles emerged from behind, wrapping around Chen's body.
Feeling the solid object, he was delighted and tightened his grip. Then, with a lift of his hand, his sharp claws grabbed at Chen's face!
However, before his fingers could land, he realized that Chen Bitong completely ignored the restraints. With just a slight lift of his hand, the tough tentacles seemed to snap like soft noodles, and two fingers reached Chen's brow before his own, and in that instant, he seemed to hear something shattering.
To the onlookers, his occiput burst open a blood hole, and the implant tissue and tissue fluid inside sprayed out.
The massive body fell backward, its limbs splayed out on the ground, and various parts of its body emitted a series of cracking and bursting sounds, indicating that those areas had been twisted and burst by some force.
"String Emptiness Power..."
Lao Hu withdrew his gaze from the still-twitching body and looked at Chen Bitong, "Do you know who he is? Old Chai, do you remember him? He followed you and took a spear for you. Ahan is his son."
After a moment of silence, Chen Bitong replied, "I met him once when he was young."
Lao Hu stared intently at Chen's eyes, "How do you feel about killing the son of a comrade-in-arms who even sacrificed himself to protect you?"
Fang Zhixin stepped forward from behind, "Chai Zihan, during his service in the Defense Department, he frequently bullied and abused his subordinates and stole the achievements of ordinary team members.
Once, when he realized a team member had reported him, he immediately killed the member and framed them for attacking him with a gun. The Internal Affairs Department later deprived the member of all compensation.
Even then, he didn't spare his wife and children, ordering them to be burned alive. Shouldn't such a despicable person be put to death?"
Lao Hu asked, "Do you not consider the friendship of your old comrade-in-arms at all?"
Chen Bitong spoke in a low voice, "Even if he came back, I would kill him again."
Lao Hu's face bore a cold smile, and at that moment, he seemed to sense something, lifting his head to look at the rift, where the light flickered noticeably.
Yu Lie, closest to the rift, felt something amiss. He shouted and pressed his hands down, attempting to block the incoming object. However, upon contact, his expression changed, as the force was too powerful, causing his entire body to tremble.
He clenched his teeth and tried to hold on, but to no avail. The object emerged from the rift with unwavering determination, and he couldn't even create the slightest obstruction.
At that moment, the object was fully revealed—a giant beetle over three meters tall, its entire body encased in a metal-like shell. As it continued to advance, Yu Lie finally succumbed, pushed away by this brute force, and rolled to the ground.
The beetle charged forward with great momentum.
Chen Bitong stood in its path.
However, he showed no intention of moving. The beetle rumbled past him, seemingly colliding with a phantom, encountering no resistance, and headed straight for Lao Hu, who stood further behind.
Lao Hu's eyes were cold and gloomy. He raised his hand, and with his two fingers together, he lifted them to a certain height before forcefully swiping downward!
A crimson light seemed to flash across, and in an instant, the entire beetle was neatly cut in half from head to tail. After sliding a short distance due to inertia, it fell to the sides.
The inside was filled with burnt tissue, and Lao Hu stood there, his masked face expressionless, his fingertips crimson, and wisps of heat rising from them.
