~Date:~November 21st~
Twelve minutes before the destruction of the Ark, at the portal.
Lawrence stood there quietly. He could see an armored shuttle approaching in the distance, and he could also feel that the shuttle was mostly filled with ability users.
After the Ark landed, many weapons could not be fired, but the ground fire network facing the enemy side could still be opened. The personnel on the ship naturally tilted their guns towards the approaching armored shuttle, but that aircraft An invisible force field appeared on the outside of the shuttle, blocking all attacks♀Obviously it was not the mecha's own device, but the Shishi's ability at work.
"This kind of formation... I can't hold it alone." Lawrence said to himself: "Everyone of the emperor, please drive directly into the portal. I will pretend that I didn't see it."
Although he expected so in his heart, the other party did not act according to his ideas.
The shuttle went straight forward and stopped very close to the Ark. Even though the armored shuttle was about the same size as the Inverse Cross submarine, this location was basically a blind spot for the Ark's attack.
After opening the hatch, more than thirty ability users walked out. According to Lawrence's judgment, none of them were below the power level.
"Rebels, surrender, or die?" Tang Xian bore the brunt and walked in front of Lawrence without any scruples, blocking all other ability users behind him.
No matter what the opponent's ability is, no matter what form it is activated in, Tang Xian is confident that he can kill it in front of him.
"Haha... I'm just a nobody..." Lawrence smiled and said: "Look, I was just sent here to stand guard..."
"Need me to remind you. Is your photo on the wanted list? Mr. Knight Steward?" Behind Tang Xian, a man wearing a windbreaker and half his face wrapped in a paper bandage said.
Paper Man and Luca were originally involved in the interception operation with the ground forces in Eagle County, so they also joined the EAs reinforcements during the attack.
The possibility of being fooled is gone. Lawrence spread his hands: "Okay, I surrender." He is very aware of current affairs. The grand leader and other high-ranking ability users have entered the weird door. Now he is the only fierce level ability user sitting on this side of the Ark. If In a fight, the imperial monsters in front of them would not only be able to skin and dismantle themselves, but in just ten more minutes, I'm afraid Ark would also be beaten to pieces by them.
"Very good. Order your men to stop resisting and get off the ark." Tang Xian said.
Lawrence immediately obeyed, and without a word, he picked up the communicator and gave the order. Tang Xian winked at Luka behind him. The other party understood what he meant and immediately notified the imperial troops in the rear. They could safely send several teams over to control the scene.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Less than twenty meters away from where many ability users were standing, it was on the other side of the portal. A pyramid-shaped force field began to appear, and the scenery in that area became distorted. Soon, the force field collapsed. The members of the Anti-Cross appeared there.
"My ability cannot touch this door." Strange explained to Tianyi: "This will happen if you get too close." He turned his head and looked at the stunned enemies in front of him. He sighed and said: "It seems that it is impossible to cover everyone's entry silently."
"Magic doctor, Stranger. Haha..." Tang Xian said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you. Look at you, time has been so kind to you..." Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed. , because he saw an acquaintance: "Yan Kong... you are here too, hahaha... it seems..."
"This old guy speaks too slowly, I can't wait for him to finish his lines." Tianyi interrupted, walking resolutely at the front, heading towards the portal: "Blood Owl, delay them for three minutes, and then follow him yourself Come up, others follow me." He was already in front of the door when he finished.
"Do you think we are dead?" A person with abilities rushed to Tianyi's side as he spoke, obviously wanting to show off the boss of the reverse cross.
But before he could do anything, a big hand suddenly covered his face. At this moment, everyone knew that this guy was finished.
A few seconds later, Tian walked into the portal without looking back. The members of the Anti-Cross also filed in after him. Only the Blood Owl grabbed the head of the ability user with one hand and lifted it up. Everyone, including the person involved, felt that the blood owl would crush his head to pieces.
But he actually put the other person down and let go of his hand.
"I remembered." The blood owl turned his face to Lawrence, "Although you were a little far away just now, I still feel that your voice sounds familiar." He used a casual push outward to stop the general in front of him. The ability user pushed aside, and the guy flew out sideways, branching out into a sand path in the desert, and flew very far away.
"I heard your voice in the city of reflection in Venice." The blood owl's eyes were fixed on the other person, and he approached him step by step: "You destroyed that place, and the sea water flooded my newly decorated laboratory. .”
Lawrence took a few steps back and looked at Tang Xian and others beside him: "Hey! I have surrendered! I am a prisoner, are you just going to look at me like this?"
"Surrendered?" Blood Owl also turned around and looked at the ability users on the empire's side. His eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Paper Man, who was also looking at this. We met him in seconds: "I really met a lot of interesting prey today." The blood owl's ferocious smile was completely written on his face: "I am going to tear this man into pieces now. Do you think Will you help him?"
No one spoke, only the sound of the wind. It's not that those with abilities thought that no one could defeat the Blood Owl alone, but at this moment, everyone was in shock. As we all know, the Blood Owl was killed by the Lord of the Ten Heavenly Guards in Atlantic City, but this bloodthirsty maniac appeared again like a nightmare at this moment. Moreover, the top experts can see that the current Blood Owl is not only not dead, but has also entered the realm of madness. Could it be that this guy crawled out of hell
"It seems they have no objections." Xue Xiao smiled. He turned his attention back to Lawrence, "You are really an unpleasant rat. You didn't dare to show up when you were in Venice. You destroyed my laboratory and ran away..." What the blood owl said was actually quite shameless. That base was obviously owned by Steel Commandment. He went in and killed all the people. A dove came to occupy the magpie's nest. "When a man called me a heretic in a arrogant and smug tone, and tried to 'forgive' me and let me join him. When the organization replaced a waste of Botterini's level, I speculated that this person should be a fanatical believer with some backbone."
The blood owl's words made Lawrence gradually recall the scene in Venice, to be honest. His memory was not as good as that of Blood Owl, but after being reminded, he found that these details were indeed accurate at all.
How much the Blood Owl holds a grudge is definitely beyond the imagination of everyone present. He once told Tianyi that he had a list called "The scum I want to kill." He was not kidding. This list has always been in his mind. Lawrence's code name is - Encountered in Venice That idiot who was very arrogant and ran away. As long as they are targeted by the blood owl. Unless you have some way to make him change his mind, it's a dead end.
"I never thought that you would surrender without hesitation..." The blood owl continued what he just said: "Tell me, what should I do in the face of such a disgusting scum?"
Blood Owl's words hit the point and are hard to refute. It can be said to be quite vicious. Lawrence is one of the top five figures of Steel Commandment. Even when they surrendered just now, Tang Xian and the others did not say such sarcastic words. He had never been insulted and ridiculed to his face like this before. After hearing this, Naturally, he was furious.
"Who do you think you are talking to... the infidel!" Lawrence finally showed his ferocious side, and his frail face became distorted. As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his body, raised his arms, and used his ability. .
In front of the blood owl's forehead, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, and an explosion occurred. This attack required almost no preparation time, and was extremely powerful. The shock wave of the explosion spread out, causing the rest of the ability users to retreat. The radius of the center of the explosion swept in the entire teleportation gate, and the Blood Owl was engulfed in a cloud of sand.
Tang Xian was still standing on the same spot, not moving a step. In fact, he had offset some of the energy effects and reduced the impact of the explosion in the direction behind him. Although his sight was blocked, he knew very well what would happen next. How to develop? He just snorted coldly: "Very powerful... Unfortunately, he is far from the blood owl's opponent."
Lawrence was not stupid. After activating his ability, he turned around and ran away, and he was running towards the nearest group of emperors. He thought to himself: If the blood owl wants to use any long-distance moves to chase him, he will definitely... Threatening the Imperial troops in the same direction, the Empire's ability users couldn't just sit idly by while their own people were threatened.
"Where are you going?" The blood owl's tall body blocked the front of Lawrence. He still raised his head when he spoke, as if he was standing at the edge of the portal a second ago, and his forehead was suffering the impact of the explosion. The next second, he was already standing in Lawrence's path.
"This ability is not bad. If I give you time to accumulate strength, how big an explosion can you create?" the blood owl asked tepidly.
Lawrence didn't have the time to answer. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. Not only was the Blood Owl's speed astonishing, but even a single hair was not burned off by such a sudden explosion at close range, which shows how terrifying its energy is.
In an instant, Lawrence disappeared from everyone's sight, and only a series of short and continuous explosions were heard, going from near to far. Only a few people saw Lawrence's movements. He used the small burst of energy released by the directional explosion to use an original movement method to bypass the blood owl and continue to escape at high speed.
But only a few seconds later, Lawrence stopped again, and his figure appeared in mid-air, maintaining a forward-leaning walking posture in the air. He turned around in horror and saw a strong evil man grabbing his right leg ankle.
"Boring prey." Blood Owl commented. Where his palm contacted the opponent's trousers, a black light exploded. The energy around Lawrence could not resist the Blood Owl's grip. His right foot was crushed from the outside. Inside, from skin to bone, until the blood owl's fists were completely clenched, meat paste, bone residue and blood were squeezed out from between his fingers.
A man's right foot fell on the sand and said goodbye to its owner. Moreover, the separated wound is not neat, so it may be difficult to reattach it.
"Ah!!" Lawrence yelled in pain. Pain and rage can make a person exert more than twice his strength. He stared with bloodshot eyes. He raised his arm and aimed at the blood owl, trying to strike with all his strength, even if they both died together.
But his hands disappeared in an instant, and there was nothing under the shoulders on both sides. When his arms fell to the ground, the pain began to emerge.
"Three minutes are almost up. Before you die, just say hello to those guys for me." The blood owl easily inserted his hand into Lawrence's chest. His fingers spread apart and accurately passed through Lawrence's sternum. At this moment, the Blood Owl is already a mad master. He can stand in the air, so there is no problem of borrowing strength.
The black energy spread like fire and enveloped Lawrence's mutilated body, burning him in excruciating pain. But he couldn't move an inch, not even blink.
When the blood owl raised his arms, Tang Xian and Chang Ying, who were more than a hundred meters away, realized what he was going to do. Tang Xian immediately shouted: "Enter the portal quickly!"
The speed of those ability users is not slow. Moreover, they did not hesitate or question Tang Xian's order, so they all escaped this disaster. As for the members of Steel Command on the Ark, they may not be so lucky.
But I saw the blood owl stepping forward with his left foot. With his right hand, he dragged the Knight Steward, who had burned into a black fireball, and threw it forward as hard as a ball. Xiao Xiao had thrown many living people before, but this time his movements were particularly standard. He exerted force instantly before shooting, and also There is no unnecessary opening of the upper body, and there is no loss of strength at all. The pulling action of the left wrist also brings out a certain amount of rotational force.
The energy had swollen and deformed Lawrence's body, and the black fire burned him beyond recognition. The last scene he witnessed before his death was to watch the ark in front of him getting closer and closer. The giant cross mark printed on the front of the ark is a kind of irony, because to the blood owl, it is like a target.
The black ball hit the Ark. This scene was so familiar. It was a reenactment of when Cesare Balmond shot down Yuan Chen, except that he used fists, while Blood Owl used long-distance attacks.
The Ark was penetrated by black balls from bow to stern, just like a corkscrew drilling into a cork. The energy crushed and tore everything in front until the moment it touched the power furnace, a violent explosion occurred.
The Blood Owl had already stood back on the ground. He ignored the shock wave generated by the explosion of the Ark. Even though the sand roar passed over him, he was not affected at all and continued to move forward steadily.
The Emperor, who was approaching here, saw the scene of the explosion. At that moment, they all stopped moving. Those who were closer could even see some people flipping over. After a few seconds, people recovered from the shock. The commanders of the troops quickly judged that this might be the work of eas ability users, so they immediately ordered the troops to continue advancing.
"Three teams approaching the Ark, listen to my orders." Tang Xian was the only one with abilities who did not escape through the door. Like the Blood Owl, he was able to ignore the impact of the explosion and stand firm. At this moment, he picked up the communicator and ordered: "I am Commander Tang. Listen... When you arrive, you will see a portal and quickly set up a defense line, block this portal, and wait for our advance troops to return from it. Without my order, no matter what No matter what happens, you must not take a step forward. Anyone who disobeys the order, regardless of his military rank, can be killed by any soldier around him without mercy!"
When he said this, the blood owl happened to pass by Tang Xian and passed him by.
"Wait a minute." Tang Xian said.
The blood owl stopped and said, "What are you doing? Old man?"
"What are you doing? I am a soldier and you are a thief. Although I can see that the reverse cross is not here to cause trouble for the emperor, but has another purpose." Tang Xian said: "But I can't just turn a blind eye and watch you go in? "
"Old guy... Do you think you have a long life?" The blood owl turned his face slightly and squinted at Tang Xian, who was a head shorter than him, with his peripheral vision.
"I don't want to fight you to the death." Tang Xian said: "How about this, what is the purpose of telling you? If I think it has no conflict with us, I don't have to interfere with you, and I may even ask my subordinates to evacuate. here… "
"Old cunning thing, you want to wait for us and the Iron Discipline people to fight to the death inside, while you stand guard at the door and reap the benefits?" The blood owl directly interrupted the other party. He already knew it when he saw the portal. Cesare Balmond must have gone in, and the Iron Discipline ability users were obviously at the door, so as soon as he heard Tang Xian's words, he knew what the old man was planning: "Open your dim old eyes and see Look, where are your men?"
Tang Xian was startled. He turned around and looked at the scenery in the portal. There was only the outline of a city, but not a single figure. Could it be that Shi Shi and the others were all gone
At the same time, on the other side of the sky garden, in the portal in front of Shi Shi and the others, they could still see Tang Xian and Xue Xiao standing at the door, but the sounds, smells, wind, etc. in the desert could not be transmitted. Come in, and they can't go back. The portal in front of them is just a mirage-like projection.
Tang Xian smiled: "Haha... It doesn't matter. My conditions still stand. You can think about it... You have your purpose and I have mine. Everyone takes a step back. This is how people resolve differences. It’s the mechanism.”
The blood owl has understood that this old man does not dare to fight with him, but it may take a lot of effort to kill him, so there is no need to fight with him here: "There is another mechanism, that is, I will slap you to death, and then I will Get what I want, and you don't." He said and continued walking forward.
After successfully passing through the portal, the Blood Owl found himself in the ruins of a city, but he didn't see a single figure around him. "I see... Will you arrive at a different place every once in a while... Or, as long as it's not If we step forward together, we will reach different places." He turned around, wanting to see if Tang Xian would come to him when he came in. (To be continued...
