Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 549: Chapter 522 Wings (Please Subscribe)

The current President learned of Lin Hao’s ambush 170 li away just two minutes after the incident occurred.

At that time, the entire Federation delegation had just been settled in the Imperial Courts.

Upon learning of the attack on Lin Hao and that the attackers were the Earth Federation’s ‘Shadow Killing Team’, the faces of everyone turned deathly pale.

They realized that this was someone trying to prevent the Earth Federation from negotiating peace with the Great Song, and therefore attempted to assassinate Lin Hao.

The current President was furious, leaning on his desk and watching the video sent by the presidential battleship ‘Common Fate’: “Is it the Longevity Association? What do they want? Do they really want to start a war and wish for humanity’s destruction?”

It was fortunate that the Chief of Staff was extremely cautious of Lin Hao, and had arranged the sensory equipment of the ‘Common Fate’ to monitor his movements, otherwise, they would have been too slow to react.

The President’s bones ‘crackled’ as he said: “Order the Common Fate to provide firepower—”

He meant to say to provide fire support to Lin Hao, but then he felt this was inappropriate.

The Great Song had arranged a battalion of Divine Guards in the Divine Palace and was backed by a large amount of Shen Ce Army and numerous elite experts, ostensibly for protection, but in reality, also for surveillance.

If the ‘Common Fate’ opened fire hastily, it might easily lead to misunderstandings.

The President took a deep breath: “Send someone to the rescue, right now! No matter what, Lin Hao must not die here.”

Hearing this, the people around looked at each other with uncertainty, none responding.

The heart of the President’s Chief of Staff was also heavy.

Once a war began, humanity might not necessarily be destroyed, but the civilians of their 14 Base Cities would surely suffer heavy casualties.

He was aware of the capabilities of those gods; every single one of them had the power to destroy heaven and earth and could even shatter a planet as large as the Earth’s moon with a single thought.

Although the Federation had various defensive measures prepared at each base, it might not be able to withstand the might of the gods.

Nevertheless, the President’s Chief of Staff still furrowed his brow and advised: “Mr. President, what we need to ensure first and foremost is your own safety!”

The Special Service Bureau that protected the President was inherently weak, and those from the Earth Federation with Ninth Realm Emperor Rank, even those with Ninth Realm Super Monarch strength, who would be willing to be subordinate? Who wasn’t the leader of a power, controlling trillions in assets?

As such, the Special Service Bureau relied more on mechanical technology to ensure the President’s safety; after hundreds of years, the Federation had developed quite strong combat machinery.

However, this was a visit to the Great Song, and due to technological secrecy and out of respect for that god, some things were not convenient to bring—such as the two experimental combat robots of the Special Service Bureau, incorporating a trace of Abyss Power in the Annihilator Dragon 9X model.

In the Chief of Staff’s view, should Lin Hao die, the peace talks between the Earth Federation and the East Abyss would inevitably become even more difficult.

But if anything were to happen to their President, then not only would the peace negotiations be impossible to achieve, but there might even be the possibility of a civil war within the Federation.

“Send two 9S+ models, just arrange for two of them!”

The President’s eyes were filled with a sharp light as he emphasized his tone: “Follow my order, immediately! If Lin Hao dies, we may not be able to return to the Federation!”

That East Abyss was not dead; although in a state of Divine Sleep, its Divine Thought was still remotely sensing the world, which naturally included the Luojing under its feet.

Once a large number of Ninth Realm figures entered Luojing City, causing the concentration of the ether element to reach a certain threshold, it would surely awaken the ‘East Abyss.’

Both the ‘External Affairs Bureau’ and ‘Internal Affairs Bureau’ of the Great Song’s Imperial City Department, responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, although famously inept, had large monitoring Magic Artifacts in their possession and would not allow the gathering of a large number of Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators inside and outside the Luojing City.

Hence, the President concluded that the Shadow Killing Team could not bring forth many Ninth Realm experts. Now, by sending just two Ninth Realm Super Kings, they could possibly turn disaster into safety for Lin Hao.

The security director arranged by the Special Service Bureau hesitated for a moment, but still immediately left the room to arrange for his subordinates to go for reinforcement.

“We must implement sanctions against the Longevity Association, otherwise governmental authority will be undermined; tell the Anti-corruption Bureau—no, tell Li Xianglong, I authorize him to mobilize capable personnel to investigate the irregularities and misappropriation of funds in the banking system of the Eighth Base City!”

The current President’s words were filled with anger and murderous intent: “Also, for that Shadow Killing Team, have the Justice Department issue arrest warrants now, putting every one of its members at the highest level of wanted status!”

Hearing this, the President’s Chief of Staff couldn’t help but inwardly shudder.

If the Ninth Base City’s forte industry is biotechnology, then the Eighth Base City’s forte is the financial system.

There, not only were many major banks headquartered, but there were also a large number of securities and insurance companies.

And according to intelligence, a significant portion of the main supporters of the Longevity Association came from the financial sector.

The President’s move was precisely hitting the Longevity Association’s vital spots, illustrating just how intense his fury and murderous intent were.

But at that moment, the President’s security director walked back in: “Mr. President, I’ve sent the people, but there’s been a change in the situation over there.”

He projected a new video in front of them: “That cloud of black fog has already been forcibly dispersed by the mage on Lin Hao’s side. Our sensory equipment can now scan deeply into the interior. From the current situation, they’ve held off the ‘Shadow Killing Team’ assassination attempt, and the stand-off between both sides is almost evenly matched.”

The current President looked stunned, taking a close look at the video, and spoke in a heavy voice: “Try to find out, these Dragon Transformation Masters at the periphery of the battlefield, where do they come from? Great Song’s internal system, or Lin Hao’s own forces?”

The President’s Chief of Staff understood what he meant — if these masters came from inside Great Song system, that meant the esteem in which Lin Hao was held by East Continent Divine Palace far exceeded their expectations; if they were Lin Hao’s own forces, then it meant that the capabilities of this Spy Detection Bureau Commander had become very substantial.

And regardless of the scenario, it meant that Lin Hao’s influence in the future court of the Great Song Dynasty would rapidly ascend.

The Great Song’s court was also like the Earth Federation, in that most of the time when the East Abyss did not directly intervene, it was largely determined by individual power and influence.

Chief of Staff observed through the video feed and felt that Lin Hao was only lacking one or two pillar-level masters; it was thanks to the assistance of two Dragon Guard Captains sent by Luo Wangshu that he was able to withstand the assault of the Shadow Killing Team.

But even just considering the defensive forces Lin Hao had arranged at the periphery, they were nearly at the power level of a candidate for Divine Envoy.

※※※※

At this moment, Miao Zhengdao, the leader of the ‘Shadow Killing Team’ hidden within an invisibility-shielded Guardian Battleship, was also secretly shocked by the power that Lin Hao had revealed.

“Assassination failed, notify all units to prepare for retreat. In ten seconds, our high-explosive plasma mines will detonate in a sequence according to the preset program.”

Miao Zhengdao was extremely cautious and decisive.

Precisely because of his caution, no one knew his true identity since the establishment of the ‘Shadow Killing Team’.

And because of his decisiveness, there were very few major casualties in the sixty years since the founding of the ‘Shadow Killing Team’.

Miao Zhengdao believed that for a top assassin group to last, they shouldn’t overemphasize the success rate of missions but ensure safety instead.

Miao Zhengdao realized the slim hope for mission completion once his two Ninth Realm magic techniques were disrupted by the opposing mage.

When the engines of the Guardian Battleship were damaged and the electronic altar inside became ineffective, Miao Zhengdao completely abandoned the last glimmer of hope.

Not to mention that the ‘Heavenly Eye’ was hanging like a bright mirror above them.

Therefore, the ‘Shadow Killing Team’ had only one choice—to strike swiftly and retreat far if they fail!

Miao Zhengdao thought that their actions up to now had been worth the employer’s 300 billion federal coins, and the advance payment for that Ninth Realm Super Emperor-class treasure, and the current dire situation was sufficient to silence the employer.

Actually, if it weren’t for being coerced by the employer, and with his fatal weaknesses controlled by others, he would never have risked attacking Lin Hao.

He wasn’t the kind of fool without brains, unaware of the consequences of killing Lin Hao.

However, just as Miao Zhengdao was leaving the Guardian Battleship, utilizing the cover of darkness to escape, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and looked back.

“Hm? Number 5? That guy—”

Miao Zhengdao was monitoring Lin Hao through the situational awareness devices he had placed on the battlefield.

At this moment, the ‘Spiritual Sky Dragon’ punched and caused a warrior of the Eight Realms Emperor Rank to bleed from his seven orifices.

Although this was only a projection of a Tenth Realm Super Monarch Battle Dragon, its combat power had reached a Seventh Realm Super Emperor level, overpowering the Eight Realms Emperor Rank.

This person had already received the retreat order from Team Leader Miao Zhengdao, but as he was about to withdraw, he saw a wave of sword energy gushing like a thunderous ocean.

The pupils of the Eight Realms Emperor Rank warrior constricted slightly, realizing that the positions of Lin Hao and Shangguan Tianyi had astonishingly swapped.

And Shangguan Tianyi was well-prepared, unleashing a Sixth Realm Emperor Rank Secret Sword technique, slicing through with sword lights as swift and domineering as thunderbolts.

Between this woman’s eyebrows, there was a Seventh Realm Super Emperor treasure, the ‘Thunder Soul Pearl’ levitating, making the sword’s might even more formidable!

What on earth is going on?

The Eight Realms Emperor Rank warrior felt a mix of shock, anger, helplessness, and confusion as he struggled to defend.

With his strength failing to replenish and diminishing with effort, it was extremely difficult to defend. He even had to risk allowing the Battle Dragon to be destroyed by the ‘Spiritual Sky Dragon’ so that it could take the brunt of Shangguan Tianyi’s ferocious sword light on his behalf.

But even so, his body was struck by hundreds of Shangguan Tianyi’s swords.

Fortunate for him, he wore an 8SS+ level Exoskeleton Armor, which, although directly bearing the brunt of over a hundred swords, left his body relatively undamaged.

Just when he was barely holding on until Shangguan Tianyi’s Thunder Swordfall subsided and he thought he could catch his breath, he saw a blood-red figure appeared before his eyes.

—It was Ji Xueying! The Blood Saber Lady of the Sixth Realm Super Emperor rank!

Right at that moment, there was also a swap of positions between this woman and Shangguan Tianyi.

Now, the Eight Realms Emperor Rank was even more puzzled and desperate.

Although she was only of the Sixth Realm, she carried the bloodline of a Sixth Realm Super Emperor.

And with his rich combat experience, how could he not realize that the Blood Saber Lady was also gathering her strength for the strike?

Furthermore, the item floating behind her was the Seventh Realm Super Emperor Magic Artifact of the Light Element, the ‘Yang Flame Divine Mirror’!

“Kill!”

Ji Xueying’s pupils revealed a scarlet fierceness, and terrifying blue veins surfaced around the corners of her eyes.

The ‘Yang Flame Divine Mirror’ immediately burst forth a strong light, and under the irradiation of the golden light, the Battle Dragon standing in front of the Eight Realms Emperor Rank warrior let out a pained groan.

—The arm of the Eight Realms Battle Dragon had broken off clean at the root!

Then with a ‘clang,’ a sorrowful and brilliant white blade light flashed by, and the Imperial Dragon-Slaying Saber in Blood Saber Lady’s hand easily cut through the warrior’s skeletal armor, severing his head!
