38: The Beijing General Bureau? Just how deep is their background?!

Shi Tai's roar became the horn of attack.

He and the four C-rank Elders beside him attacked simultaneously!

The True Essence within the five of them erupted without reservation!

That energy, filled with filth and ill omens, was no longer a single attack, but merged in mid-air.

In an instant, it formed a large net!

That net sealed off all possible escape routes for Lin Yuan and Su Wanqing.

Above, below.

Left, right.

Nowhere to run!

Su Wanqing's expression was more solemn than ever before.

She bit her silver teeth, took a step forward, and shielded Lin Yuan tightly behind her.

"Ice Phoenix Bloodline... Ignite!"

The blood within her body seemed to boil at this moment!

A chill far more terrifying than before burst forth from her body!

However.

Lin Yuan's voice suddenly came.

"Don't be impulsive."

Su Wanqing turned her head, but what she saw was Lin Yuan's face, still wearing a smile.

He winked at her, then subtly nodded his chin towards the sky.

That look seemed to say: Wait a little longer.

Wait?

Wait for what? To die?!

Su Wanqing was extremely anxious, but Lin Yuan's overly calm gaze made her action of preparing to ignite her bloodline pause for an instant, as if by some strange twist of fate.

It was this instant.

That net of death had already covered the heads of the two!

The terrifying pressure made the air viscous!

Shi Tai's face revealed a ferocious smile!

Die!

All of you, die!

Just as the foul energy was about to touch their hair.

"Bang!!!"

A earth-shattering roar!

The "abyssal nursery" grand formation's shield, which enveloped the entire Black Stone Town, shattered with a crash at this moment!

It turned into countless flying specks of light, dissipating into the night.

The formation was broken!

Almost at the same time the shield shattered.

The intermittent static in Su Wanqing's tactical communication terminal disappeared, and a calm, clear command came through!

"Target area energy lockdown lifted."

"'Sharp Sword' Team One, Team Two, begin infiltration!"

"Repeat, 'Sharp Sword' Teams, begin infiltration!"

What?!

Su Wanqing suddenly looked up.

She saw.

In the night sky above Black Stone Town.

In the darkness that had been empty before, several sleek, black, sci-fi assault craft appeared!

If it weren't for the open hatches revealing internal lights, they would have been invisible to the naked eye!

"Night Owl" class optical stealth assault craft!

The Dragon Shield Bureau's most advanced aerial assault unit!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

One agile figure after another leaped directly from the sky.

They wore black combat suits, tactical goggles on their faces, and held uniquely shaped psionic weapons.

Their movements were precise, without a single wasted motion.

Like the grim reapers descending from the sky!

"Boom—!"

The energy shockwave from the shattered shield swept across the entire Black Stone Town.

Shi Tai and the others' determined combined attack was impacted, its power drastically reduced!

Su Wanqing seized the opportunity, and an "Ice Wall" rose before them!

"Bang!"

The weakened net crashed into the ice wall with a dull thud, both shattering.

Though it still made Su Wanqing's blood surge, it was ultimately... blocked!

Shi Tai and the others wanted to launch a second round of attacks.

But they no longer had the chance.

The elite Dragon Shield Bureau Special Agents descending from the sky formed several combat teams the moment they landed, forcefully intervening in the battlefield!

"Ah!"

A Black Stone Sect disciple had just raised his blade, but before he could even see who it was, he was struck by an electric arc, convulsing and falling to the ground.

Another disciple attempted a sneak attack, but was shot by a Special Agent with a backhand, the psionic bullet directly piercing his Dantian.

A C-rank initial stage black-robed Protector roared and charged at a Special Agent.

However, that Special Agent merely dodged to the side, and the short blade in his hand drew an arc.

The next second, a line of blood appeared on his neck.

From the very beginning, the battle showed a one-sided situation.

These Black Stone Sect disciples were like chickens and dogs before these well-trained, well-equipped, and well-coordinated Dragon Shield Bureau elite Special Agents!

And on the main battlefield.

A burly Dragon Shield Bureau C-rank Peak close-combat expert, codenamed "Iron Fist," directly confronted Shi Tai.

"Boom!"

Iron Fist threw a punch, causing the air to explode!

Shi Tai hastily raised his arm to block.

"Bang!"

Their arms collided, and Shi Tai felt a massive force, causing him to uncontrollably fly backward, his blood churning!

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of old blood, his eyes filled with horror.

"The Dragon Shield Bureau's... Ace Elites!"

He understood.

What had arrived was not ordinary reinforcement troops.

But the true core combat power of the Dragon Shield Bureau! Aces capable of executing A-rank missions!

It was over.

Everything was over.

Looking at the one-sided slaughter before her, Su Wanqing's tense body relaxed slightly.

She turned her head to look at Lin Yuan, who was beside her with a relaxed expression, her gaze extremely complex.

This guy... truly... summoned heavenly soldiers and generals.

Lin Yuan tidied his clothes, which had been ruffled by the wind.

Then, he walked to a man among the Special Agents who was clearly the leader.

The man wore a badge on his shoulder representing a B-rank Expert.

Lin Yuan stood straight, raised his hand, and gave a salute that looked anything but standard.

"Reporting, sir!"

His voice was loud and clear.

"Jiangcheng Dragon Shield Bureau, D-rank Probationary Special Agent Lin Yuan!"

"C-rank Special Agent Su Wanqing!"

"Preliminary reconnaissance and breach missions have been successfully completed!"

"Awaiting further instructions, sir!"

The B-rank Captain first glanced at Lin Yuan and Su Wanqing, who were almost completely unharmed.

Then, he looked at the remnants of the several scrapped "Spirit Qi Resonance Bombs."

Finally, he looked at the chaotic battlefield before him, and the Black Stone Sect evil cultivators being dealt with by his subordinates, with an indescribably complex expression.

He turned back and returned a standard military salute to Lin Yuan, his voice steady and powerful: "Capital Headquarters, 'Sharp Sword' Task Force Captain, Captain Qin Zhan."

Hearing the words "Capital Headquarters," Su Wanqing, standing beside Lin Yuan, stiffened imperceptibly for a moment.

Captain Qin Zhan's gaze lingered on the two for a moment, then he extended his hand and heavily patted Lin Yuan's shoulder.

"You two..."

He said, enunciating each word.

"Did a 'good' job."

"Now, close the net!"
