Chapter 159 Liu Xiezi's Survival: 1 vs 4, the Advantage is in My Hands!
Lu Yan didn't even turn around to look at the impending massacre.
The roar of the Azure Wind Dragon said it all.
The screams of the Wildfire Squad rang out one after another like firecrackers, only to be completely shattered by the violent wind pressure and the dragon's roar.
He had absolute trust in Wen Yue.
How could the archers of the first squad not even be able to clean up these small fry?
Lu Yan, carrying the Eternal Scepter, walked straight toward the cliff face covered with vines.
The spatial rift continued to flicker erratically, and the energy escaping from its edges shattered the surrounding rocks.
Instead of rushing in, he took out a black device the size of a cigarette box from his tactical backpack and attached it to a hidden rock next to the entrance.
With a light swipe of the fingertip along the side of the device, an invisible infrared scanning network instantly covered the entire fissure exit.
After doing all this, he stepped back a few paces, leaned against a charred, dead tree, and took out a military communicator.
He first dialed the emergency line of the Pingjiang City Public Security Bureau.
"A Level 3 secret realm out of control incident has occurred in area S-17, along the riverside mountain road on the outskirts of Pingjiang City. Monsters have escaped, causing a large-scale death of civilians in a village. Two Awakened Squads are also embroiled in a firefight here, directly related to the incident. Request immediate area lockdown and action."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a tired and somewhat impatient voice: "Understood, we'll send someone over. Which team are you? Can you still control the situation? Don't escalate it any further."
Lu Yan was already used to this official yet perfunctory tone.
Ever since the government issued the decree to search for information about the gods, all the teams have been searching like madmen.
It's perfectly normal for conflicts to arise when searching for divine realms.
These local authorities have countless messes to deal with every day, and they've long since become numb to them.
If we rely on them, it'll be too late.
"Never mind, you go ahead and do your thing."
Lu Yan didn't waste any words and hung up the call immediately. He swiped his finger to switch to an encrypted channel and dialed again.
This time, the connection was made extremely quickly.
"This is Dragon Guard, Central Special Operations Department. Please state your identification code." A calm and capable female voice rang out, with the sounds of keyboard typing and data flow audible in the background.
"Dragon Guard First Squad, Lu Yan. Coordinates sent."
The moment he finished speaking, the other person's tone changed instantly, becoming one of absolute respect and seriousness: "Mr. Lu! The coordinates have been confirmed: Pingjiang City, Sichuan-Chongqing region. Is the situation urgent? Should the other members of the first team immediately provide spatial jump support?"
"No need. I can handle a normal secret realm going out of control."
Lu Yan's gaze swept over the towering flames and fading screams in the distance. "I need a rapid response force to clear the area, cordon off the area, conduct search and rescue operations within thirty minutes, and take control of all those involved. Also, notify the Sichuan-Chongqing Military Region General Hospital to prepare to receive the seriously wounded."
"Understood! Orders have been issued, and this is currently the highest priority. The nearest Dragon Guard 7th Detachment is assembling and is expected to arrive by air within fifteen minutes. Please ensure your safety!"
"Um."
After ending the call, Lu Yan looked at the devastated village and turned to walk inside.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and burning flesh, and amidst the ruins, mutilated corpses silently recounted the tragedy that had occurred not long ago.
He walked slowly, his mental energy sweeping across every inch of land and every ruin like radar.
There were no survivors.
No other monsters were found.
It seems that the only monster that escaped from the secret realm was the one that Wen Yue took down with a single grenade on the mountain road.
Having confirmed this, Lu Yan stopped lingering and turned back to the entrance of the secret realm.
The battle on Wen Yue's side has ended. The enormous figure of the Azure Wind Dragon hovers in the low sky, its golden vertical pupils coldly surveying the ground.
None of Wang Meng and his "Wildfire" team members were still standing.
They lay on the ground like rag dolls, their limbs twisted, unable to utter a sound, yet still clinging to life.
Wen Yue clearly controlled her strength, only crippling her without killing her.
Lu Yan found a clean rock to sit on, placed the Eternal Scepter across his lap, and waited quietly.
He didn't inform Xiao Qianyu and the others. This was a minor incident, not worth disturbing the entire team's rest.
Time passed second by second.
About ten minutes later, the light from that unstable spatial rift suddenly fluctuated violently.
coming.
A figure staggered out from inside; it was none other than Liu Scorpion, the one-eyed captain of the "Lynx" squad.
He had barely stepped onto the outside ground, and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath.
"Beep—beep—beep—!!!"
An alarm so piercing it could tear eardrums blared out instantly!
Liu Xiezi was so frightened that he thought it was some kind of deadly attack trap. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, three other team members, equally covered in dust and dirt, rushed out from behind him, huddled together in fear of the alarm, their faces pale.
"Don't hit me! Spare my life, sir!"
Liu Xiezi raised his hands above his head and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The secret realm inside has collapsed! There's nothing there! No divine clues, just a broken battle realm, we didn't get anything! Please, sirs, have mercy and spare our lives!"
He shouted until he was hoarse, and then lay down on the ground, not daring to lift his head.
However, the expected attack did not come.
There was a deathly silence all around, with only the piercing alarm continuing to sound.
A few seconds later, Liu Xiezi mustered his courage, secretly raised his one eye, and cautiously looked around.
There was no ambush as expected, and no large force.
Not far away, the terrifying woman who had summoned the dragon was coldly watching the crippled "Wildfire" squad, not even glancing in their direction.
There was only one person directly in front of them.
A young man sat quietly on a rock, an ancient-style scepter resting across his lap, watching them with a detached, theatrical gaze.
The alarm sounded, but it seemed to be just a simple alarm.
Liu Xiezi's heart skipped a beat, and then a surge of relief at surviving a disaster and an uncontrollable greed welled up in his heart at the same time.
He slowly got up from the ground and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace at Lu Yan: "Young man, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We were just passing by and didn't mean to disturb you."
The three teammates behind him also realized what was happening and stood up one after another. In the exchange of glances, fear was quickly replaced by greed.
Was he all alone?
He remembered that there was a woman beside the young man, and that woman was not someone to be trifled with.
But now, that person doesn't seem to be here?
Although this young man looked intimidating, he was all alone.
And we have four!
The advantage is mine!
Liu Xiezi's smile gradually turned ferocious. He licked his lips, and a fierce light flashed in his single eye.
The scepter resting on the young man's lap looked extraordinary, as did his fine attire...
"Brothers."
Liu Xiezi lowered his voice and gave a wink to the three people behind him.
"Four against one, the advantage is in my hands!"
"If we pull off this job, we'll be set for life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them simultaneously emitted various colored lights, which spread out in a fan shape and slowly surrounded Lu Yan.
Lu Yan looked at them, his face showing no anger but a smile.
"Oh, are you coming one by one, or all four of you at once?"
"Damn it, you dare look down on me? What do you know, you little brat?!"
……
Lu Yan looked at Liu Xiezi rushing towards him.
He held the scepter in reverse, then brought it down with a single blow.
Liu Xiezi's fate is unknown.
