66: Chapter 66 The Final Counterattack

"Boom!"

A cloud of Crimson blood mist exploded in the air.

Just as the handcuffs of the two Special Forces Team members were about to touch Wang Tianba's wrist, an unexpected change occurred.

Wang Tianba's face, which had been ashen and despairing, instantly contorted into a non-human ferocity. His left hand, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly exerted force, crushing a dark red pill that exuded an evil aura.

Forbidden Drug: Alien Beast Transformation Pill.

"All of you, die!!"

His roar was like a beast's howl, his vocal cords instantly torn by the surging blood and qi, producing a strange sound like a broken bellows.

A nauseating black malevolent aura erupted from Wang Tianba's body.

His aura, originally that of a High-tier Martial Master, skyrocketed as if on a rocket.

Martial Master Peak!

"Crack, crack."

The sound of cracking bones echoed. Wang Tianba's custom-made suit instantly ripped into shreds, and countless black blood vessels appeared on his skin, wriggling like earthworms beneath the surface.

Black foul blood seeped from his pores, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body swelled, transforming him into a mindless humanoid beast.

"Roar!"

Wang Tianba's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils gone, leaving only whites.

The two nearby Special Forces Soldiers had no time to react.

The violent air current directly knocked them flying, their Tactical Vests caved in instantly, blood gushing from their mouths as they crashed against a distant wall like broken kites.

"Stop him!"

Thunder Tiger's eyes were bloodshot, his Combat Saber cutting through the air with a mournful shriek as he prepared to charge forward.

Too late.

The distance was too short, the burst too fast.

Wang Tianba's mind now held only one thought, an obsession etched into his bones.

Kill Lin Fan!

Take him down with me!

"Die!!"

A Blood Wind gust of wind hit his face.

Wang Tianba's figure left a black afterimage, his five fingers forming claws, nails growing three inches long, glowing with a sinister blue, heading straight for Lin Fan's throat.

Fast.

Too fast.

A desperate strike from a Martial Master Peak had already broken the sound barrier.

Although the surrounding Special Operations Battalion soldiers all rushed over, they were too late.

"Brother Lin!"

Thunder Tiger roared in despair, his body forcefully changing direction mid-air, but the claw was less than half a meter from Lin Fan's throat.

At this distance, for a Martial Master Peak, it would only take 0.01 seconds.

A certain death situation.

At the center of the storm, Lin Fan's fringe was wildly dancing in the strong wind.

The intense stench of death and the oppressive feeling of mortality made every cell in his body scream.

Martial Artist Eight-Star against a berserk Martial Master Peak.

The power disparity was immense; one touch meant death.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since collapsed in fear from this malevolent aura, offering their neck for slaughter.

But Lin Fan did not.

The moment before the claw touched his skin.

The world stood still.

[S-Rank Talent: Eye of True Sight, full power activated.]

Hum.

Lin Fan's originally clear black and white eyes were instantly covered by a layer of faint golden data stream.

The claw, which had been as fast as lightning, began to slow down frame by frame in his vision.

The flow of air, the contraction of muscles, the direction of spiritual energy... everything became clearly visible.

His brain completed the calculations in one-thousandth of a second.

His body instinctively moved according to the command.

Lin Fan's body bent backward at an extremely strange angle, like a fully drawn stiff bow.

"Hiss!"

The claw grazed past his nose.

A few broken strands of hair floated in the air.

The blue-glowing nail was less than a centimeter from his skin.

He dodged it!

"What?!"

Thunder Tiger's pupils contracted violently in mid-air.

That was a fatal blow from a Martial Master Peak! Even he himself, caught off guard at such close range, would find it difficult to dodge without injury.

Lin Fan, a high school student, a Martial Artist Eight-Star, actually did it?

One could say Thunder Tiger already thought highly of Lin Fan; being a Martial Artist Eight-Star in his third year of high school made him a top prodigy nationwide.

But to be able to dodge a sneak attack from a Martial Master Peak, this wasn't just talent in cultivation; his strength was also top-notch, even though he had also shone brightly against assassins in the villa before.

However, that was more attributed to Lin Fan's reliance on external forces like formations and various psionic bombs. This was a genuine head-on confrontation.

Is this really a student?

The attack missed.

Wang Tianba's remaining beastly instinct made him pause for an instant.

And it was this instant that decided life and death.

"Get down, you bastard!!"

Thunder Tiger finally arrived.

Enraged, Thunder Tiger held nothing back. The eighty-jin alloy Combat Saber in his hand, carrying the force of a thunderclap, slammed heavily onto Wang Tianba's back.

He used the blunt side of the blade.

Because they needed to keep him alive for trial.

"Bang!!"

A muffled thud, like a heavy hammer striking a drum.

Wang Tianba was directly hammered into the ground.

The concrete pavement instantly cracked, and gravel flew.

"Roar..."

Wang Tianba was still struggling, his limbs frantically clawing, trying to get up.

"Still dare to move?!"

Thunder Tiger landed and stomped heavily on Wang Tianba's dantian.

"Crack!"

His Qi Sea shattered.

The violently surging black malevolent aura instantly dissipated like a deflated balloon.

Wang Tianba let out a mournful scream, his body convulsing violently a few times, then he slumped in the pit like a dead dog with its spine broken, no longer moving.

Only the continuously gushing black blood still spoke of the madness that had just transpired.

"Whew..."

Lin Fan took two steps back, leaning against the armored vehicle's tire, panting heavily.

His back was drenched in cold sweat.

In that instant, he truly smelled death.

If not for the rapid operation of the Eye of True Sight, if not for his physical fitness having made a qualitative leap recently due to the accumulation of various system-bestowed heavenly treasures and earthly delights, even a delay of 0.01 seconds would have meant a headless corpse lying on the ground now.

"I was careless."

Lin Fan touched the red mark on his neck caused by the strong wind, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

Things had been going too smoothly recently, with cheats and earning money, making him a bit complacent.

He thought that with the system and the military and the Su Family as his backers, he could rest easy.

But this world, after all, was a high-martial world where the strong preyed on the weak.

No matter how many trump cards he had, no matter how wide his connections, if his own strength wasn't solid enough, he could still be overthrown at any time.

"Lay low."

"I must be more cautious from now on."

Lin Fan mentally slapped himself hard.

Next time he encountered such a situation, he would definitely not stand in the front row, but rather protect everyone behind him.

If he could ambush from a distance, he would never engage in close combat.

As long as he stayed cautious, with the system's hundredfold return, he would eventually become invincible.

"Brother Lin! Are you alright?"

Thunder Tiger grabbed the dog-like Wang Tianba and threw him to a nearby soldier, then rushed to Lin Fan in a few steps, scrutinizing him up and down.

The flesh on his face was trembling, clearly indicating he was quite frightened.

If anything had happened to Lin Fan under his watch, let alone the military order, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

This was the darling of the entire army!

"I'm fine, Brother Lei."

Lin Fan adjusted his breathing, and his characteristic calm smile reappeared on his face, as if he wasn't the one who had just danced with death. "Just my hairstyle is a bit messy."

"You brat..."

Thunder Tiger looked at Lin Fan's nonchalant demeanor and admired him even more profoundly.

This psychological fortitude, he was naturally destined for great things!

"Take him away!"

Thunder Tiger turned around, his smile instantly vanishing, replaced by towering killing intent.

He pointed at Wang Tianba on the ground, his voice as cold as if it came from the Nine Nether Hells.

"Alien Beast Transformation Pill. What a Wang Family, what a Wang Tianba."

"Possessing forbidden alien drugs, assaulting a military consultant in public."

"This is no longer a simple economic crime."

"This is treason!"

The surrounding soldiers' faces were grim as they roughly dragged Wang Tianba up.

Special alloy shackles directly pierced his Shoulder Blades.

There was no mercy.

In this era, colluding with aliens was an absolute bottom line.

Wang Tianba had regained a trace of consciousness by now, but the excruciating pain of his shattered dantian left him unable to speak.

He laboriously lifted his eyelids and glanced at the young man not far away who was adjusting his collar.

The young man was also looking at him.

His gaze was calm, devoid of a victor's mockery or the satisfaction of revenge.

It was like looking at a bag of non-recyclable trash about to be thrown into the garbage can.

That kind of indifference was more unbearable than killing him.

It's over.

The Wang Family is completely finished.

Not only would their assets be confiscated, but all direct relatives would also undergo the most severe scrutiny.

A century-old foundation, destroyed in an instant.

"Take him away!"

With Thunder Tiger's command, Wang Tianba was dragged onto the Prison Vehicle like a dead dog.

At the same time.

Inside the Wang Family Mansion, cries and pleas echoed through the night sky.

Those once arrogant members of the Wang Family were now being escorted one by one onto Military Vehicles.
