Chapter 30: Rescue Operation (Part 2)

  Long Er led the special task force members into "Tian Di Bie Yuan" and found that the hall was about 300 square meters, which could accommodate over a thousand people. In the middle of the hall, a row of black-clad men in suits caught his eye, each holding the latest model of submachine gun Mp8, with their muzzles aligned at the door.

  As cultivators, the members of this special task force had seen many such scenes and were also very familiar with responding to them. They quickly activated their true yuan power, protecting their entire body. In the dense firepower, the high and low powers were immediately distinguished. The five members below the Yuan Ying period were swept away by the strong firepower of the MP8 in an instant, falling to the ground with a "bang" sound. And the fifteen people above the Yuan Ying period had only their town yuan power slightly dimmed under the gunfire, but the bullets couldn't get close to their protective circle at all.

  Long Er saw his five brothers die instantly, let out a wolf-like howl, quickly drew his flying sword, and with one move, a black-clad man fell to the ground. The other members were also filled with grief and indignation, quickly pulled out their own weapons, and killed towards the black-clad men.

  In less than five minutes, more than a hundred black-clad men were reduced to mangled corpses, the white floor of the hall stained crimson with blood, resembling a hellish scene. In this battle, several members who had just reached the Yuan Ying period were also shot in the forehead or heart, sacrificing gloriously.

  Long Er took a quick count of the numbers, and the team of twenty was now down to twelve. Suppressing the sorrow in his heart, Long Er gave the order: "Quickly find those kids and bring them away." The members dispersed to search for the others everywhere.

  During the time Long Er was fighting with the black-clad men in the villa, the situation outside had also undergone tremendous changes: Wang Long, after breaking through the boundary, felt his whole body lose strength. He took a glance at Ling Yunzi and found that he was not in any immediate danger for the time being. The members of the third group were currently locked in a fierce battle with the four subordinates of the Rhine River Platform, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. Wang Long hastily sat down cross-legged on the ground to meditate, as the key now was to quickly recover his divine yuan energy; otherwise, everyone might end up buried here today. As Wang Long rapidly circulated his divine yuan energy, it slowly began to increase, while the divine elixir in his body also started to circulate at high speed.

  Lingyunzi and Rhein River Tai were getting more and more shocked as they fought, the limitless magic of Rhein River Tai was really too powerful. Every time he struck at Rhein River Tai, his own power seemed to be caught in a net and rebounded back at him. If it weren't for his Kunlun Sect's superior body technique "Ye Piaoling Great Method", he might have already been taken down by Rhein River Tai. At the time, his senior brother had also relied on this unique "Ye Piaoling Great Method" to narrowly rescue himself from Rhein River Tai's hands when he was seriously injured. Now thinking back, if his senior brother hadn't practiced the body technique to an imperceptible level, the two brothers might have fallen into Rhein River Tai's hands during that demon-slaying operation.

  He and Lain River fought for nearly a hundred rounds, Lingyunzi felt more and more strenuous, looking at Lain River's appearance, it seemed that he hadn't used his full strength, with an air of nonchalance.

  And the ten people who were fighting against the four underlings of the Rhine River Platform were also gradually falling into a disadvantage, with two members already on the verge of exhaustion and near collapse. Lingyunzi became even more anxious.

  "Ah" a miserable cry, one of the four men under Rhein River Tai, a black man was punched and flew by Wang Long, the black man's chest had a bowl-sized blood hole. It turned out that the black man was about to take action against a special affairs group member who had exhausted his true yuan force when Wang Long intervened in time, killing the black man and saving the member's life. Although his own divine yuan force has only recovered to the sixth layer now, when Wang Long's divine sense left in the field felt that the member was in danger, he had to terminate his practice and take action to rescue him.

  Four people died and one was injured. The members of the special task force immediately felt a great relief, but Wang Long found that Lingyunzi's situation was extremely bad at this time, and he hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the Rhine River platform.

  Long Er led the first and second groups to search the entire villa, finally finding the 315 missing children in a secret underground room. The children were tied together with a long rope, all sitting on the ground. Long Er left six members to take the children away and took five people to rush out of the villa quickly.

  When Long Er arrived at the scene, he only saw Wang Long and Ling Yunzi fighting together with three of Rhein River's subordinates. The five colors of red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, as well as black and white, were intertwined in a dazzling display of light. With his own strength and that of the five people below him, it was impossible for them to join the battle.

  Long Er quickly gave the order: "First, let's take out the subordinates of the demon head." The six of them divided into three groups and charged at Rhein River's three subordinates. Suddenly, one of the three in the middle quickly broke out of the encirclement and fled far away. Cai shouted loudly: "Ou Yang Xiong, where are you going?" Ou Yang Xiong ran while emitting a voice like a fierce ghost: "Today, my Ou Yang family's guardian team is completely annihilated. Now I can't even save my own life, what do I need the magic heart method for? What do I need the magic foundation for?"

  Long Er and two members also quickly followed Ou Yang Xiong as he fled far away.

  With the addition of new forces, Rhein River's disciples Liu Huofa and Cai Dao were also in a very dangerous situation. At this time, Rhein River was extremely angry, although Lingyunzi and Wang Long, who only had six layers of power left, were not his opponents, but for a while, he couldn't take them down either. Watching his subordinates die one by one, Rhein River was also very unhappy in his heart. After blocking the joint attack of Lingyunzi and Wang Long, Rhein River launched a Wuji Magic Skill at the two Special Affairs members who were facing Liu Huofa, instantly turning them into two pools of blood like an eagle.

  Seeing the Rhine River Platform was about to attack other members, Wang Long quickly shouted: "Everyone come to my side!" and instantly moved to the side of other members. Lingyunzi also followed closely behind Wang Long. When the Rhine River Platform's Wujimogong was about to get close, Wang Long swiftly took out the Five-colored Luliu Lantern. At this time, the Rhine River Platform's power still had some gap compared to Tianmo Moke and Hualong during their duel years ago, so the Rhine River Platform's attack could not break through the lantern's defense.

  However, Wang Long was also affected by the Rhein River's demonic energy while maintaining his defense and spat out a mouthful of blood. Wang Long quickly made a decision: to activate the last bit of his divine yuan power and instantly transport Lingyunzi and the remaining members back to base. After exhausting his divine yuan power, the five-colored divine light of the Five-Colored Luminous Lamp rapidly dimmed, and Wang Long lay on the ground spitting out fresh blood. It wasn't that Wang Long didn't want to escape himself, but when he thought about also instantly transporting himself away, he discovered that his aura was completely locked onto by Rhein River's energy. If he had followed Lingyunzi and the others in escaping, Rhein River would have immediately caught up with them as well. Therefore, to protect Lingyunzi and the others, Wang Long chose to stay behind.

  Wang Long lay weakly on the ground, struggling to barely open his eyes, only to see Lai Yuetai standing in front of him with a sly smile on his face, while Liu Hu Fa and Cai Dao had also lost their strength and fallen to the ground.

  Wang Long tried hard to condense a bit of spiritual energy, but found that his body was completely empty and couldn't find any trace of spiritual energy. Wang Long closed his eyes in despair. Suddenly, the divine elixir shook violently, his mind sank, and he fainted.

  Lingyunzi quickly took out a jade stone to replenish his true yuan energy after being sent back to the base by Wang Long at the last moment. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to cultivate. The chaotic meridians in his body slowly returned to their original position, while the dim primordial infant also gradually gained a hint of luster. True yuan energy circulated faster and faster through the meridians in his body.

  About ten minutes later, Lingyunzi felt that the true yuan force in his body had also recovered to 50% of its normal state. He opened his eyes and saw Long Er standing in front of him with a tense face. Seeing Lingyunzi wake up, Long Er quickly reported the situation of this action to Lingyunzi, saying: "Wu Lao, those children have been rescued, and Ouyang Xiong has also been killed by us. Before he died, Ouyang Xiong told me that all the people in the villa were his subordinates, and they were originally going to accept the demon-repairing foundation today. Those children were the tripod for the foundation. Ouyang Xiong promised to accept the leadership of Leinhe River Platform, and Leinhe River Platform agreed to use its magic power to hold a demon-repairing foundation ceremony for them. We have just arranged those children properly." Then he looked around and asked in doubt: "Huh? Why can't I see Little Long? How is he now, Wu Lao?"

  Lingyunzi said with a painful face: "Xiaolong sent us out at the last moment, and now he may have been caught by Leinhe Tai. You quickly gather a few members who still have the ability to act, and we will go back to rescue Xiaolong." Long Er responded with a sound and quickly went to find people.

  Twenty minutes later, Lingyunzi brought Long Er and four other special affairs group members with slightly higher strength and lighter injuries to the "Tianti Biyuan" by car.

  They searched the entire villa inside and out, but except for the corpses scattered all over the villa, there was no one else. Rhein River Tai and his two apprentices were also nowhere to be found.

  It seems Xiao Long is in a precarious situation, with the loss of the Rhine Platform being so great, how can he possibly be spared? Ling Yunzi couldn't help but feel extremely sorrowful, and "whooshed" out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
