âWhat?â
The boss looked at his shattered saber in disbelief.
He and his menâs sabers had undergone countless trials and were incredibly powerful.
However, it was now shattered by a sword beam that seemed to come from nowhere.
It was simply unbelievable!
As the sword beam headed straight for his chest, his expression changed dramatically, and he immediately performed a backbend.
The sword beam flashed past, slicing through his clothes and leaving a deep bloodstain on his chest.
He collapsed onto the ground, engulfed in a fiery agony coursing through his chest. His face twisted in excruciating pain as he struggled to catch his breath.
At that moment, he felt as if he had entered the gates of hell.
The power of that sword beam was simply terrifying!
âWhere did that sword beam come from?â He clutched his chest wound, sweating profusely.
As he stood up, he heard a sharp whistling sound in his ears.
âAgain?â
His expression changed, and he immediately stared ahead, his gaze sharp and alert.
Pfft!
Just as he was staring ahead, two sword beams suddenly flew over from behind, piercing through his chest. The tremendous force sent him flying, crashing into the forest and finally impaling him on a large tree. His heart and lungs were crushed by the mighty sword beams, causing him immense pain.
Blood flowed from all parts of his body as his eyes widened.
He had no idea that sword beams could come from behind.
Moreover, these were the same two sword beams from earlier!
He had been defending against attacks from the front, thinking that the sword beams would come from that direction. Hence, he never expected them to come from behind, making it impossible to evade.
âImpressiveâ¦,â he murmured.
He had never expected that after the initial attack was missed, the sword beams could turn and continue their assault on him.
This was unbelievable!
This was simply horrifying!
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that someone could perform such an unbelievable longârange attack! This level of control over longârange sword beams rendered the attacker a godâlike figure.
âNow, the organization is in big trouble.â
Sensing his life force rapidly dwindling, he closed his eyes, and this single thought consumed his mind entirely.
Before two seconds had passed since this thought crossed his mind, he was already dead.
Five minutes later, an armored vehicle roared past, crossing the road where he and his men were ambushed, and continued on unhindered.
âWhere did those four experts go?â
Leonard looked at the clear road ahead, his eyes filled with confusion.
Previously, his owl had informed him that four godâclass experts were ambushed in this area.
However, now that they had moved forward, there was no one to obstruct them in the surroundings, which was highly unusual.
10.23 âSo long as weâre safe. Letâs continue forward,â Haylan said indifferently.
Boom!
Just then, a deafening sound erupted ahead.
Two armed helicopters flew over, their mounted machine guns raining down a hail of bullets on Haylanâs vehicle.
Bullets pounded against the car like a storm, and although they could not penetrate its defenses, the powerful impact caused numerous cracks in the bulletproof glass, obstructing their view.
At the same time, the powerful impact prevented the vehicle from advancing even an inch.
The sound of bullets colliding with glass resonated like thunder in the ears of everyone present.
Reign, Yvonne, Lawrence, and the others all wore expressions of shock.
âHaylan, think of something quickly,â Landon urged.
âKeep moving forward.â
Haylanâs face remained calm as he exerted force in his legs, soaring into the sky like a majestic eagle, swiftly heading toward the two armed helicopters.
âWhatâs going on?â
âItâs raining bullets. Does he want to die?â
Witnessing this scene, everyone present had their hearts leap into their throats.
This was especially true for Reign. She immediately sat up, her eyes filled with a deep concern for Haylan.
While everyone worried about him, he had already reached midâair and swiftly swung two blades.
The blade beam flashed and instantly cleaved the two helicopters in half.
Boom!
Both armed helicopters exploded in midâair, resembling a spectacular fireworks show.
While they exploded, Haylan landed steadily on the car.
âThisâ¦â
Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Reign was dumbfounded.
Landonâs mouth hung open.
Lawrence and Yvonne were stunned as well.
They had just assumed that Haylan was heading to his death, but now, witnessing his majestic and aweâinspiring display, they all felt as if they had an illusion.
After all, splitting two helicopters in half with just two slashes was simply unimaginable.
Leonard too was taken aback, his gaze firmly locked on the carâs rooftop, his eyes brimming with sheer astonishment.
What shocked him was not the fact that Haylan had cleaved two aircraft, as many individuals within Shadow Knight were capable of such feats.
What shocked him was his swordsmanship!
The two slashes he executed were exactly the same as the splitting storm technique that the higherâups of Shadow Knight had to master!
âCould it be that he is also one of the Shadow Knight commanders?â His pupils contracted as he subtly trembled in shock. Within the organization, although he did not rank among the top fifty, he was very familiar with many of the commanders at Anno Hospital.
However, he did not know Haylan.
âCould it be that he is a new member of Shadow Knight?â He speculated.
As he pondered, an owl descended, landing on his arm and emitting a few chirps.
Hearing the chirps, his expression darkened as he spoke in a low voice, âThe surveillance ahead has been reinforced. There are at least three troops waiting for us!â
10.23 While speaking, he noticed the shattered windshield obstructing his view and swiftly delivered a forceful slap, causing it to shatter into countless fragments that scattered through the air.
Consequently, the carâs field of vision instantly expanded, providing a broader view of the surroundings.
At the same time, countless cold winds rushed in, causing everyone to shiver.
It was already in the early hours of the morning, around two or three oâclock, and the night air was frigid, sending shivers down their spines.
âMr. Katz, Haylan, thereâs an ambush ahead, what should we do?â Reignâs gaze grew grave.
âKeep going!â Haylan responded calmly.
âIt should be fine. Let me take the leadâ Leonardâs gaze turned cold.
With that, an incredibly sharp whistle burst forth from his throat.
Along with his whistle, the sky immediately resounded with endless eagle cries.
An eagle then appeared in the sky.
Two, three, fourâ¦
Immediately after, tens of thousands of eagles appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun like a dark cloud, rushing toward the location of the ambush.
At the same time, the roars of countless wild beasts resounded from within the forest.
Countless wild beasts also rushed out from the mountains and forests, like a raging flood of fierce creatures, charging toward the location of the ambush.
The beast tide unleashed its assault once again!
