Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

These enemies not only excel in close combat, but are probably not inferior to these special forces in field combat.

However, what bothered Lin Beichen even more was who were the forces behind these enemies? How did they train such powerful subordinates?
While thinking, he heard the gunshots from Xia Luyao's side gradually becoming less frequent.

He decided to rescue Xia Luyao first, and then look for other team members who might have survived.

When he rushed to Xia Luyao's position, he found that the offense and defense had switched positions.

After losing about five people, the enemy began to make every effort to capture Xia Luyao.

However, after killing three or four enemies, Xia Luyao had to abandon his original tactics and fled into the woods, using the terrain to evade and counterattack.

On flat ground, the enemies were no match for Xia Luyao, and they had no chance of winning once they entered the woods.

Especially when they acted in groups of three, it gave Xia Luyao an opportunity to take advantage of.

She quickly dispatched most of the enemies and began chasing after the remaining ones who realized that things were not going well and wanted to escape.

Just as the battle was about to end, an accident happened. Xia Luyao was suddenly ambushed while chasing the last particularly clever enemy.

A gunshot suddenly rang out, and Xia Luyao subconsciously stopped.

A bullet grazed her forehead - if she hadn't slowed down, the bullet would have gone straight through her temple!
Seeing Xia Luyao narrowly avoiding a fatal blow, the man who attacked her walked out with a pistol in his hand.

A drop of blood slowly flowed from Xia Luyao's forehead, and then a golden barrier suddenly appeared around her!

This is the talisman that Lin Beichen gave her being activated!

The attacker looked at the shield on Xia Luyao's body and said with a hint of regret: "It's really annoying. As long as I'm prepared, there's no chance of killing you."

Although he said so, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Xia Luyao with interest.

"In fact, I have been curious for a long time. If your barrier exists, how can you fight in close combat with others? Or... your barrier can't prevent close combat?"

Faced with the enemy's provocation and questions, Xia Luyao did not respond.

She just pointed the gun at the man coldly, showing her attitude with her actions. However, the enemy was not afraid, but disappeared from her sight in an instant.

There was a loud bang and the man's fist hit the protective shield hard.

"Hiss... It hurts!" He took a breath, then looked at Xia Luyao with a weird smile, "You know... I think you are more like the real Joseph than I am."

Xia Luyao didn't answer him, but just looked at him coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, she did not let her guard down. Instead, she took advantage of the other party's full concentration and suddenly fired a shot.

The man dodged the attack easily, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "It seems that you are just trying to distract me."

Seeing the man's agile skills, Xia Luyao immediately realized that the other party's strength was unfathomable.

She decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, dealing with him while secretly hoping for support from Lin Beichen or others.

"It would be great if Lin Beichen could come."

Xia Luyao was silently looking forward to it in his heart, while at the same time feeling the heavy pressure brought by the other party.

"Is it possible that no one except him can handle the current situation?" she couldn't help but ask herself.

Xia Luyao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your actions and your fighting skills remind me of someone."

When the man heard this, a hint of joy flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

Xia Luyao keenly caught the subtle changes in his expression and became even more curious about his identity.

She wanted to know how many masters like him there were in their organization.

"Did you judge his strength based on the news that he broke through with a helpless person single-handedly?" The worry on the man's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of sarcasm.

Xia Luyao nodded frankly, she knew there was no need to hide this matter.

"How stupid!" The man suddenly laughed out loud, his eyes revealing an indescribable meaning, "You guys actually believed that kind of news."

His eyes became deep and far-reaching. "If he really just escaped by luck, why didn't he show up in the mercenary world again? He is not the only one who escaped from the siege of so many countries."

Xia Luyao's heart trembled, and a terrible idea emerged in her mind.

Her expression became solemn and she could no longer maintain her previous composure.

The man looked at the changes in Xia Luyao and felt a sense of satisfaction.

He spoke slowly, expressing Xia Luyao's thoughts: "Yes, in that battle, only two people survived. Because the others were all killed by Joseph."

Xia Luyao listened to this secret in astonishment and even forgot to breathe.

Although Lin Beichen is powerful, his power comes from Taoism. This unknown power makes them awed but not desperate.

But Joseph is different, he is just an ordinary person, but he has a power far beyond theirs. This kind of power is so strong that it makes people feel suffocated.

Xia Luyao asked herself, if it were her, what could she do under the siege of that group of special forces?
She had to admit that even with the most optimistic estimates, she would only be able to barely escape and kill two or three people.

There are no weak ones among the special forces, and everyone has the potential to create miracles.

Just like her battle with Feiying, although she is stronger than Feiying, it is possible that he will seize the opportunity and kill her in a certain battle.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Xia Luyao couldn't help but feel a deeper awe for the person in front of him.

Looking at Xia Luyao's changing expression, the man seemed to find it very interesting.

He laughed and said, "Yes! That's the feeling! Back then, I also used this expression to measure myself and everything!"

Xia Luyao looked at the man in front of him who had been deeply impressed by Joseph, and he knew that he could not compete with him.

So she changed the question: "How many people with your strength are there in your organization?"

She asked directly because she knew that this man still had his pride when facing people other than Joseph.

As expected, the man proudly replied, "In close combat, I am invincible except Lord Joseph!"

"What about ambushes and traps?" Xia Luyao thought of his previous exquisite ambushes and timing choices, and asked curiously.

The man hesitated for a moment and answered vaguely, "Probably about a dozen people."

In order to save some face, he added: "The people ahead of me are from the same team. They are good at cooperation."

Xia Luyao's heart tightened. If this team of more than a dozen people were to deal with them, Lin Beichen would definitely be their main target.

She no longer hesitated and turned away.

But the man sneered: "You don't really think that during the time you talked to me, I was just talking to you, right?"

Xia Luyao turned back suddenly, but it was too late.

I saw metal railings taller than her rising up, trapping her in a square area.

Then the ground began to rise, revealing a metal platform.

There is a pillar under this platform supporting it.

The trees above his head had disappeared without a trace.

Xia Luyao looked at the railings flashing with electric light angrily, knowing that he had fallen into the opponent's trap.

At the same time, the Eagle and the Bison on the other side were also engaged in a tough battle.

They stood back to back facing four powerful enemies.

The melee combat capabilities of these enemies are actually comparable to Xia Luyao's!
The bison complained bitterly about his bad luck, while the eagle vigilantly observed the changes in wind direction around him.

He knew it was these winds that exposed their whereabouts.

Now they must do their best to escape!

Those people stared at the glowing talisman in the sky, and at the bullets stagnant in the air, with expressions of astonishment.

Lying in ambush here, they originally intended to kill Lin Beichen with one blow, however, things did not go as they wished.

The bullets they fired were clearly aimed at Lin Beichen's chest, but strangely they deviated towards his shoulder, and all the bullets that should have hit his shoulder missed.

Lin Beichen glanced at his remaining faith value, then glanced coldly at the mercenary opposite him, and a murderous intent surged in his heart.

He had previously felt that always being on guard against ambushes was not a long-term solution, so he exchanged for a technique and, after consulting with the system, used his faith points to quickly master it.

This skill is called "Shadow Changing" and its effect is extraordinary.

When it is attacked with a fatal blow, it can automatically move its body to another location to avoid the fatal blow.

It can be used three more times within one hour after being triggered, and the interval between uses depends on the host's spiritual power recovery speed.

However, there is one thing that needs to be noted about this technique, which is that it may be activated automatically in critical moments.

Lin Beichen looked at the mercenaries in front of him, secretly wondering what echelon they belonged to under Joseph.

He could only pray that these people were the most capable of ambush among Joseph's men - because on his way to rescue Xia Luyao, although he was very careful, he still did not find any trace of these people.

Taking a deep breath, a ball of dazzling electric light gathered in Lin Beichen's hands.

He said coldly: "It's time to end it. Stop blocking my way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, instantly turning the mercenary in front of him into ashes.

However, just as Lin Beichen was about to rescue Xia Luyao, the sound of a helicopter propeller suddenly came.

He looked up and saw a helicopter flying through a gap in the tree canopy.

"Joseph's?" Lin Beichen was secretly alert.

Although the person who intercepted him before claimed that they were the only ones who received the order to kill, Lin Beichen was skeptical.

He was not sure what further actions Joseph would take after capturing Xia Luyao.

Lin Beichen gritted his teeth and felt that there was very little spiritual power left in his body, and it would be difficult to deal with the situation that was about to follow.

Therefore, he decided to ignore the helicopter in the air and go to rescue Xia Luyao as soon as possible.

In the area where Lin Beichen performed thunder magic, except for two mercenaries who were unfortunately caught in the center of the lightning and turned into ashes, the rest of the people just lay on the ground, covering their bodies with the burnt leaves.

Lin Beichen did not check the corpses - he never dreamed that these people would be wrapped in a layer of airtight rubber human skin.

When Lin Beichen left and reunited with Xia Luyao, a man suddenly sat up on the charred ground and pulled off the rubber human skin hood.

He breathed in the fresh air eagerly, but was still careful not to make too much noise.

Afterwards, another seven or eight people sat up one after another. The first person to sit up was obviously their leader.

There was no expression on his face, making it difficult to guess his inner thoughts.

Everyone began to whisper, talking about the shocking scene that had just happened.

One of them couldn't help but ask: "That kind of thing... should be magic, right?"

Obviously, he was deeply shocked by the power displayed by Lin Beichen.

The leader was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "That is not magic, but Taoism."

Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Everyone immediately fell silent, waiting for further instructions from the leader.

However, he didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, he raised the gun in his hand and shot the person who spoke first without hesitation.

This action silenced the remaining people, and they dared not make any sound anymore.

This leader was once very famous in the killer world.

He was later captured by Joseph and surrendered to him.

Although he is now Joseph's subordinate, no one dares to provoke him easily.

Because he always managed to hide his murderous intent perfectly before killing someone - this was completely different from Joseph's attitude that he thought killing was a trivial matter and was disdainful of showing murderous intent.

He gave people the feeling that he had concealed his murderous intent deep in his heart.

He stood up without explaining anything to his men.

Although those people were full of doubts, they did not dare to ask more questions.

He glanced at everyone coldly, then said, "We should go."

After saying that, he turned and left.

One of them mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss, where are we going?"

The boss gave him a cold look, and the man suddenly felt a palpitation.

But the boss didn't kill him, it's just that his eyes were always so cold.

"Go to a place where we can kill Joseph." The boss joked, but there was an indescribable chill in his tone.

Although the remaining killers were confused, they could only follow the boss obediently.

At the same time, Lin Beichen had found Xia Luyao trapped on the platform.

He looked at Xia Luyao's anxious and helpless expression and couldn't help feeling angry.

Joseph actually treated Xia Luyao like this!

Xia Luyao saw Lin Beichen finally coming and shouted, "Lin Beichen, be careful! This railing is electrified!"

Lin Beichen frowned when he heard this.

He stared at the electrified railing and felt a little awkward for a moment. (End of this chapter)
