The King of Special Warfare Chapter 154 - Meteoric Rain of Fire

Wandering, prowl, flicker, and rush.

Light and darkness alternated amid the din of human voices.

Large numbers of people rushed into the factory.

At a certain second, the sudden sounds of gunfire rang out in the noisy crowd.

All the other sounds fell silent for a moment.

In the clear crackling sound, a newly erected searchlight nearby exploded directly.

The fragments flew in the last flicker of light, and then all the light suddenly disappeared.

The spear was concealed in the secluded darkness.

The man, however, lurked in an unknown noisy place.

The last flicker of light disappeared.

In the strong wind and rain, the area near the factory suddenly became dark.

Taking quick steps.

Charging forward.

The crowd became a little chaotic immediately and the few figures who were blocking in front were directly pushed away.

The silver edge gleamed in the darkness.

The spearhead of the Human Emperor poked out and turned into a long and delicate dagger.

The darkness fell and the silver light flickered.

Right then, a faint flame lit up.

The flame appeared but was extinguished at once. A despairing whimper rose from the dull, subtle sound and then quickly vanished.

“Swish!”

The helicopter whistled in the air. The searchlight hanging on the helicopter turned around as soon as this area went dark.

The whole process took no more than three seconds.

Light and dark alternated, and the crowd ran disorderly.

Nothing seemed to have changed from three seconds earlier. However, a sudden roar sounded in the crowd, making the hearts of all the people present sink.

“Ono!”

In this chaotic situation, with great anger, this roar clearly spread throughout the spot. Although the voice was loud, it was full of strong powerlessness and despair.

Mai Shiranui appeared almost before her voice had died away. In the unconscious silence of countless people, the female genius in East Island narrowed her eyes tightly and there was amazing killing intent in her eyes.

Less than twenty meters ahead of her, holding a gun, a young man in civilian clothes stood rigidly where he was.

At the moment when the young man encountered danger, he seemed to realize something and unconsciously opened his mouth, so the sharp blade of the dagger was stabbed straight into his mouth. The sharp blade was in an upward position, and it went straight through his mouth to the back of his head. Blood burst forth from his skull and spewed out more than two meters high in the rain. The whole scene was ruthless and cruel to the extreme.

When the light went out, the murderer acted, but when the light was on, he disappeared.

Everything was done almost in the blink of an eye. When Mai Shiranui appeared, she could even clearly see the blood falling from the sky. The scarlet blood shone dreamily in the searchlight.

Fall.

Ono opened his mouth wide and unconsciously grasped the arm of his companion beside him. The light in his eyes faded quickly and he finally fell down on the gra.s.s, dripping with rain and blood.

An almost flawless a.s.sa.s.sination!

It made sense if the victim was merely an ordinary person. But instead of being an ordinary man, he was a master even among Fire-flaming Realm experts. However, such a master was successfully a.s.sa.s.sinated within a few seconds, and he could not even send a warning signal.

The fierce wind blew Mai Shiranui’s red dress, and her long, supple hair fluttered in the wind and rain in the night. She quietly looked at the body on the ground before her, and her heart had never been colder.

Biting cold.

It was a journey of more than 800 kilometers from Ninghu and Changdao. At first, Li Tianlan was on the run and Mai Shiranui chased him. Gradually, however, his injuries seemed to be improving at an incomprehensible rate. Furthermore, his condition became better and better, and his pure escape became fighting and running. When Mai Shiranui finally realized that she may not be able to rely on her own strength to suppress this guy, she finally used the ident.i.ty as the Young Palace Master of Liuhuo Palace to ask all forces in East Island to cooperate with her in the pursuit.

From Ninghu, Caishan, to Changdao.

Mai Shiranui did not know how many of her elites and experts had been killed in the pursuit, but she could clearly feel Li Tianlan’s growing anger.

It was not an irrational rage. The anger was grim and cold, with an extremely bigoted determination and ferociousness.

Now, Li Tianlan was in the crowd below. Mai Shiranui did not know where he was at exactly, but she was sure that in the present situation, as long as he took advantage of the panic, it would not be difficult for him to go. Then it may be a new pursuit.

But Li Tianlan seemed to have no intention of running away now.

Hidden in the crowd, he was like Death walking in the dark.

He counteracted violence with violence and killed others to prevent himself from being killed!

Mai Shiranui knew very well that the relentless pursuit of dozens of hours had infuriated the young Heavenly Son from Zhongzhou State. To be exact, Li Tianlan was now intoxicated with killing others.

He was crazy.

She was going to deal with an extremely calm yet fanatical madman in the killing state.

The helicopter whistled and hovered in the air.

The bright beam of the searchlight kept rotating, illuminating the crowd below. It was just that there were so many people down there that it was impossible to find Li Tianlan in the crowd in a short time.

Mai Shiranui breathed deeply and her ample bosom heaved slightly. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and put through the caller.

On the other end of the phone, a soft yet sullen voice came directly through the phone. “Haven’t you caught Li Tianlan yet?”

It was catch instead of kill.

Only a single word was different, but the meaning was quite different.

Mai Shiranui wore a stern expression and gently bit her pink lower lip. Her voice was soft and apologetic. “Yes, Sensei. Please give me some more time.”

“I can give you time.”

After a short silence, Shinichi Miyamoto, now the only Invincible Realm expert in East Island, said insipidly, “But you must also give me a precise time. I’m under a lot of pressure.”

Mai Shiranui clutched her phone and remained silent for nearly half a minute before saying firmly, “One week, Sensei. Seven days is enough for me.”

“Seven days?”

Shinichi Miyamoto laughed. He didn’t seem satisfied or unsatisfied, and just said lightly, “It seems you are in serious trouble.”

Mai Shiranui was embarra.s.sed. She fought at home, making use of her contacts and resources in Liuhuo Palace. Instead of catching Li Tianlan in dozens of hours, her side suffered heavy casualties. This proved that she was incompetent. She didn’t want to admit her failure, but now she had to offer an explanation.

“Yes.”

She held the phone, whispering, “That guy is unexpectedly difficult to deal with. So, if possible, I wish you would let me kill him instead of… capturing him alive.”

“Kill him?”

Shinichi Miyamoto laughed again, but his tone was somewhat cold. “Although it is inconvenient for me to leave the Divine Wind Force at the moment, if I want to kill Li Tianlan, I will not let you do it. Now, there is an Invincible Realm killer in the Divine Wind Force. Don’t you understand me?”

Mai Shiranui was silent, letting the rain fall on her body and wet her hair and cheeks.

“At any rate, I want you to capture him alive. Remember, this is the operation of Liuhuo Palace. You’re in the Divine Wind Force all year long, but don’t forget where your roots are.”

Shinichi Miyamoto said coldly and hung up the phone.

“Bang!”

In a sudden sound of gunfire, the searchlight hanging on the helicopter exploded again.

The broken light fluttered disorderly for a moment.

Darkness descended suddenly.

Mai Shiranui’s facial expression changed dramatically. As soon as the light went out, flames spread all around her.

Before the darkness had completely fallen, the firelight had illuminated everything around her.

The rain drifted down from the sky, with sprays of spurting blood.

Another figure stood motionless in place.

As the fire glowed, Mai Shiranui only saw a flash of silver light.

The silver blade retracted inside the victim’s body and the blood formed a line two to three meters long. Blood sprayed, and the sword pierced the heart.

The victim was surrounded by elites in East Island with ghastly pale faces.

Nevertheless, Li Tianlan had already swapped places with his shadow, and no one knew where he was now.

Another Fire-flaming Realm expert was killed by a fatal strike!

Mai Shiranui swayed, her face ghastly pale. Looking at the scene in front of her, she shouted without hesitation, “Everyone, distances the group you are in with other groups within one minute. A minute later, the person left alone will be killed without reporting!”

The panicked crowd reflexively started moving.

Mai Shiranui didn’t even bother to look because she knew that this gathering didn’t work out. With the Shadow Formula, Li Tianlan’s mobility was unmatched. A minute was enough for him to leave the scene.

…

Shoot, sprint, kill, and retreat.

He was surrounded by the panic-stricken crowd.

In his world, however, everything seemed to have disappeared.

His mind was clearer than ever, and every movement of his seemed to be driven by instinct. He lurked quietly, shot accurately, and killed with precision and cruelty.

Acute.

His senses were unbelievably acute.

Li Tianlan was conscious of what was happening. He was hiding, acting, and killing, but weirdly, he had the omniscient perspective of watching a movie.

After days of running and pursuit, his mind was really strained at all times. For him, it was a thing he had never experienced before.

Plight, impa.s.se, and escape.

His will, as hard as iron, was strained. In this state of concentration, he was improving every minute and second. His seemingly inexhausted potential became the acute perception and judgment of danger, and he was able to use the Shadow Formula with increasing sophistication. The transcendental acuity that belonged to the true Heavenly King Heart seemed to be coming to him little by little.

He moved between light and dark, exerted all his strength, and stabbed. Blood drifted in the rainy night along with the killing intent. He fought to the hilt and to his heart’s content.

He could clearly feel his killing intent to become more and more complete. He grew stronger and stronger. It was not an elevation of his realm, but another elevation of his state of mind and perception.

The crowd gathered in a tense atmosphere.

Li Tianlan, who had killed four Fire-flaming Realm experts in a row in a very short period of time, sighed gently. After switching places with his shadow twice, his figure already appeared inside the second building.

In the increasingly dark environment, through the empty window and the swirling rain, he looked out at the helicopter which was still flying triumphantly, its rotors whistling.

With cold eyes, he turned and went upstairs.

Near the second building, at Mai Shiranui’s command, a large crowd had gathered into nearly a hundred action groups, showing no signs of flaw.

“Sure enough, he isn’t here.”

Mai Shiranui sighed softly, but there was a strange smile in her eyes.

The terrain was so open that even with the Shadow Formula, Li Tianlan could not disappear in the blink of an eye. He would get out of here, but he would certainly find a good place to hide.

There was no alternative to the second building, the only good place in the neighborhood to hide.

She suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly, “Helicopter, be ready to strafe the second building by floor. Others are on standby, ready to rush in.”

If she hadn’t been asked to capture Li Tianlan alive, it would have been most convenient to raze the whole building with a missile. Even if he wouldn’t die, he would be blasted out. But Shinichi Miyamoto’s order was severe enough that for the moment she seemed to have only machine guns and cannons at her disposal.

For a man like Li Tianlan, these were not lethal things.

The helicopter’s fuselage quickly whirled around amid the m.u.f.fled roar of its rotors.

The nose of the helicopter was pointed at the second building. Two cannons, capable of firing thousands of rounds in a minute, adjusted their angles slightly and fired without hesitation.

“Click, click, click…”

In the wild and chaotic noise, countless bullets swept into the building through the empty windows like rain, and countless sparks flew directly out.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

The dense reverberations rang out with the thuds of bullets. .h.i.tting steel plates.

Mai Shiranui’s eyes lit up, and before she could speak, the light of two searchlights again flashed across the second building.

The lights turned.

The cannons boomed.

Vaguely, a heavy metal plate seemed to be being lifted and moved rapidly. All the cannon bullets. .h.i.t the plate.

The steel plate trembled violently, but the person holding it did not stop and went all the way up.

“He’s on the third floor! Lock onto the target and fire. Keep firing!”

“He’s going up to the fourth floor. Everybody, the target is on the fourth floor.”

“He’s on the fifth floor. Why the h.e.l.l did you stop firing? Are you out of bullets? Machine guns, strafe. The others, be ready to charge!”

The helicopter swung around in the air.

The door of the engine room opened.

The machine gunner was in position.

The searchlights swept back and forth through the windows on the fifth floor.

“The fifth floor! He’s on the fifth floor and didn’t go up. Oh, d.a.m.n it, he’s coming. What’s he up to? Good heavens!”

In a helicopter pilot’s hurried and strange voice, the two lights finally locked onto Li Tianlan.

The machine gunner grinned grimly and was ready to fire.

In his sight, on the fifth floor, Li Tianlan darted straight at the helicopter, holding a metal plate.

The two sides were within a hundred meters of each other.

Under the searchlights, a calm and indifferent face appeared.

Stride, sprint, and run.

Li Tianlan’s speed was getting faster and faster and his steps grew larger. In the machine gunner’s incredulous eyes, his figure darted straight out of the window, with a steel plate in hand.

His body instantly flew up in the wind and rain.

The metal plate was discarded casually by him.

Before the stunned machine gunner could pull the trigger, a flash of silvery light flashed through the air.

More than two meters long, the Human Emperor swept across the night and shot into the cabin. It pushed his body directly, pinning him to the other side of the cabin.

Li Tianlan’s figure slammed into the cabin in the air.

Mai Shiranui had reached the second building, and her look had changed dramatically. Almost unconsciously, she screamed, “Take cover!”

This helicopter looked ordinary, but it was actually the most advanced attack helicopter currently in service in East Island. She knew only too well how much damage the helicopter could do if it fell into the enemy’s hands when it was fully equipped with heavy firepower.

The helicopter suddenly lurched in the air.

The sounds of gunfire rang out.

The two pilots were thrown straight down from the plane.

In Mai Shiranui’s frightened eyes, the helicopter in the sky continued to shake, rise, fall, and sway to the left and right.

“…”

“What the h.e.l.l is he doing?”

Mai Shiranui, who was already well hidden, looked stunned.

Faintly, a sound wafted down from the helicopter with the wind and was obscured by the roar of the rotors.

“F*ck… I can’t… Not the same… What… How to… Where is the…”

The sound was subtle and faint amid the roar. Only a master of amazing hearing could hear these words.

“This…”

Mai Shiranui’s beautiful mouth twitched. At this moment, she finally realized that the Heavenly Son from Zhongzhou State who just flew into the helicopter as mighty as the G.o.d of War was unable to fly a helicopter!

In the meantime.

In a corner away from the crowd but not suspicious, there was also a figure staring blankly at the helicopter that was shaking acrobatically in the air.

“You can’t fly a helicopter?”

“What the h.e.l.l are you doing up there?”

“Is this the young Heavenly Son of Zhongzhou State, the man of Qin Weibai?”

“You’re really… stupid yet adorable.”

Under the much-antic.i.p.ated gaze of the public, there seemed to be a furious roar coming from inside the helicopter. “d.a.m.n it!”

The metal monster suspended in the air was no longer shaking, and its huge fuselage was hurtling toward the ground.

This time, without warning, everyone ducked.

The helicopter crashed against the ground with a thud and its fuselage glided at an angle. Several elites from East Island who had not been able to get out of the way were caught in the collision and turned into a pile of shredded meat. The wildly rotating rotors rubbed violently against the ground. As a result, the turf, dirt, and sparks all flew at the same time.

The fuselage rubbed against the ground and crashed straight into the lobby of the second building.

The tail of the helicopter broke and burst into flames. Its huge fuselage smashed through the pillars in front of the lobby, squeezed through and crashed into the wall.

The helicopter bulged slightly in the billowing black smoke and flames.

Then came the most ferocious explosion!

Flames and black smoke rose from inside the second building in a flash. Flames burned through the entire building, and black smoke surged out from every window upstairs and downstairs. Having landed safely, Li Tianlan ignored the crowd. The moment he landed, he rushed to the second building and Mai Shiranui without hesitation.

To be precise, he rushed to the raging fire that burned the whole building in front of the second building.

Several experts from East Island who were close to him subconsciously tried to intercept him.

The silver blade extended in Li Tianlan’s hands and turned into two swords.

Spinning!

The eighth Blade, Burning Sky!

The roaring sword intent broke the night rain. The strong wind filled the air, and the raging flames carrying Sword Energy instantly formed a natural arc.

Li Tianlan’s body flew up and bypa.s.sed Mai Shiranui. His body spun higher and higher.

Mai Shiranui raised her head unconsciously.

In her sight, the fire of the whole building seemed to be all attracted by the sword, and the fire billows gathered towards Li Tianlan’s sword edge.

The Eighth Blade had not been fully displayed.

The Ninth Blade, however, was already in the night sky.

Eventide!

Li Tianlan’s joints were vibrating violently.

As the Ninth Blade had just been executed, the Tenth Blade was about to show up.

Vastness came after Eventide.

The power of the three sword moves erupted almost simultaneously. The surging, fire-like sword intent expanded again, as if there was no end.

In a moment, the sky broke.

The fire that illuminated the night was gone.

The night reappeared.

Standing on the ground, Mai Shiranui looked strained and stared at Li Tianlan. Or rather, she was staring at the scorching sword tip above his blade.

Li Tianlan flew up and raised his sword with both hands.

His sword shot straight into the night sky.

The sword tip, which was as bright as the sun, trembled.

The fire that was condensed to the extreme suddenly spread in the whole s.p.a.ce!

The fire, which was able to destroy the world, suddenly enveloped the night rain.

The sky and the earth were red with fire.

The wind blew fiercely, and all the rain seemed to be tinged with red.

The color of the raging fire.

Water and fire condensed in an instant.

The rain, with the sparks, was endless, as if the stars in the universe were falling.

Like a tide, the sword intent covered the world.

Meteoric Rain of Fire.
