Chapter 222 The Great Hero

The old temple in the mountains is overgrown with weeds.

The mottled walls and broken eaves all reveal the desolateness of years of disrepair.

However, the interior of the temple is a different story.

Smooth walls, clean floors, bright lights, air conditioning blowing out comfortable cool air, a group of people sitting around the dining table eating hot pot, a group of people gathered together playing mahjong, smoking, drinking, and picking their toes. It was noisy and lively but also smoky.

This is actually a resting space created by a space-type supernatural prop.

"Fuck it, be quiet!"

In front of the surveillance equipment composed of countless screens, a man took off his headphones and shouted angrily, with veins throbbing on his forehead: "I can hear your voices even with my headphones on. If you are not working, can you please stop disturbing those who are working?"

Everyone looked at him, and were silent for a moment, before returning to their previous state, smoking, drinking, picking their toes, and bragging loudly, not taking him seriously at all.

Happy.

This was originally a temporary team of villains, with members coming from various forces, including the Land of Truth, the Miracle of Pain, the Society of Evil Spirits, the Deadly Trojan Horse, the Anti-Control Bureau Alliance... Everyone was a notorious wanted criminal, the worst of the villains, the worst of the bad guys, and the ruthless of the ruthless guys. Why should they listen to you?
If you want them to obey you, you have to be strong and ruthless, but this tech geek is clearly neither of those things.

"Fuck!" The man angrily smashed the table and threw away his headphones. "I don't want to do this shitty job anymore. Whoever wants to do it can do it!"

"Xiao Li, calm down." A bald man with glasses said calmly, "You are going to be a member of the management of 'Deadly Trojan Horse' in the future. Don't you even have this little bit of composure?
When the supervisor comes and sees you not working, what do you think will happen to you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe. His supervisor was an unknowingly ruthless character. In his eyes, the useless subordinates were not even "people". All of them would be made into wetware and used for mining, and their fate would be worse than death.

Of the members from the same period, there are only two left including him, and the rest have all been turned into wetware, living a life worse than death.

He quickly put on his headphones and resumed monitoring.

The scenes presented on the screen are areas where abnormal events have occurred, which are remotely monitored through special extraordinary equipment to achieve the purpose of collecting intelligence and controlling real-time dynamics in various places.

The evil alliance led by the Town of Truth is going to do something big in the paradise this time, so intelligence work is naturally indispensable.

"Hmm? The spatial disorder near Yong'an City has disappeared." Xiao Li stared at the data flashing on the screen and recorded the situation.

A few minutes later, the temple door was pushed open and five figures walked in.

The leader was a thin and handsome young man, with skin as pale as paper, as if he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. His eyes were deep and scarlet, and there was a lingering hostility between his brows, which gave people a cold and uncomfortable feeling.

This is a vampire!
Looking at the smoky room, the thin and handsome young man frowned unhappily and said coldly: "You have thirty seconds to clean up this place, otherwise... you will bear the consequences."

Everyone paused for a moment. This time, they did not ignore the warning and continue having fun like last time. Instead, they cleaned up the scene very quickly.

The division of labor was clear and the movements were efficient. Some people even sprayed air freshener to dispel the strong stench of hot pot, foot odor, alcohol and cigarettes.

When it is time to give in, they are very clear about it.

Don't be fooled by this vampire's young appearance. He is actually an old monster who has lived in the abnormal space for five or six hundred years. His name is Solo, and he is one of the elders of the vampire clan. His methods are extremely bloody and cruel, and he kills coldly. Even the group of evil people present were frightened when they saw him.

He is a staunch vampire hawk and a vampire supremacist. After the vampires suffered the iron fist of the Bureau of Control, he was unwilling to become house dogs, so he defected from the vampires and joined the Land of Truth. He is hostile to the Bureau of Control everywhere, and is committed to making the vampires great again and overcoming their fatal weakness of being afraid of sunlight.

"Come here and listen carefully. I have a task for you."

A man wearing a black battle suit, a black mask, and two samurai swords on his back said in a deep voice: "We found a magic tree in the deep mountains and old forests 150 kilometers to the south. We plan to lead it to Yong'an City to massacre the city. During this period, you need to create as many bloody incidents as possible in Yong'an City. The more you kill, the better. Only in this way can the magic tree be awakened."

When everyone heard this, they were extremely excited, and they were all rubbing their hands together: "Finally, I can start killing people. My Evil Dark Blood Sky Art needs blood essence to nourish it!"

"It's time to get a picture. The flowers I've been waiting for have all withered."

"I want to kill one and eat one, kill one and eat one... hehehe..."

"I want to see a river of blood! Hahahahahaha!"

"After we massacre Yong'an City, the next step will be to march into Chenzhou City. Humph... By then we will bring the magic tree into the secret realm and become invincible. We can kill as many dogs from the Control Bureau as possible, and all the treasures from heaven and earth will be ours." A hedgehog-headed man grinned.

At this moment, the blood clan elder Solo's ears moved and heard a slight movement: "Hmm?"

It immediately came outside, automatically covering its body with a layer of nano-armor to block out the sunlight, squinting its eyes to look around, releasing its senses, and carefully sensing any movement.

"What happened?" The other four people chased out, not knowing what was going on.

call out!
Suddenly, a hidden weapon flew over and hit the head of the person on the far left.

collapse!
The invisible shield shattered, and the jade pendant hanging on the man's chest silently shattered into pieces.

But it was not over yet. There was another hidden weapon following closely behind this hidden weapon. The two hidden weapons were only a dozen centimeters apart. It was this distance that made the timing just right. At the moment when the life-saving prop was broken, the second hidden weapon hit.

boom!
The small hidden weapon contained terrifying power, as if it was hit by a tank's main gun. The Extraordinary Man's head exploded on the spot, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

"who?!"

The black warrior drew out his samurai sword with a clang and threw it towards the place where the hidden weapon had just been shot. The long sword was like an arrow shot from a bow, whistling through the air and causing a sonic boom.

In the dense forest, a figure flashed by, his robe was cut by the blade, and a piece of his robe fell off. He waved his hand and threw out dozens of hidden weapons, like flowers scattered by a fairy, and then the whole person disappeared out of thin air, without leaving any trace of his breath.

Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of metal clashing was deafening. The four men took action to block the flying hidden weapons, and their faces changed slightly.

The power attached to this hidden weapon is extremely overbearing, and it also carries a fierce murderous intent, which can make a person feel pain all over, as if being stabbed by millions of needles.

There is no doubt that this attack came from the top assassin!
"We are being targeted? When?" Solo looked gloomy. This was not good news. There was a commotion in the room. A lot of hidden weapons had penetrated the wall. A few unlucky guys failed to dodge in time and were smashed into pieces by the small hidden weapons. No bones were left, and broken bones and flesh were splattered all over the floor.

"Everyone retreat, we can't stay here anymore!" Solo made a prompt decision and decided to move the position immediately. If the Control Bureau came looking for us, it would be troublesome and we would be caught in one fell swoop.

Maybe... there is an attack from a very long range aimed at this place!

"Retreat quickly!" Everyone did not hesitate and rushed out of the ruined temple and ran all the way.

However, at some point, countless mines had been laid on all sides, and everyone stepped on them without knowing it. In an instant, countless flames rose up, roars were endless, broken limbs and fragments flew everywhere, and screams were heard one after another.

"Damn it!" Solo cursed inwardly. Who on earth was that person? He could lay mines without telling anyone. He must be a master who is proficient in hiding!

clang!
The black warrior swung his sword and deflected the hidden weapon. The huge force carried by the sword made him pause, and this fleeting imbalance was a fatal flaw for the former ultimate killer!
A figure appeared silently behind the black warrior, and swept the sharp blade in his hand. With a flash of light, a head was taken off so easily - not everyone can have a life-saving prop.

puff!
A scarlet magic shell flew over and blasted the headless body of the black warrior away. There was no trace of the assassin around. Solo's eyes flashed. Is it so fast?
"No, we can't run anymore. We will be killed one by one, back to back!" the hedgehog-haired man shouted urgently.

Solo and the other two quickly formed a triangle with their backs to each other, and the other surviving Extraordinary People followed suit, standing back to back in a defensive posture.

The forest fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

Everyone was concentrating their attention to the limit, their nerves were on edge, and they were alert to any disturbance.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Three minutes passed and nothing happened.

Beads of sweat appeared on everyone's forehead and their expressions were extremely nervous. These three minutes seemed extremely long to them. No one knew whether they would become the target of assassination or not, let alone whether a Control Bureau shell would fall from the sky!

Just when several extraordinary people relaxed their vigilance and prepared to run away, a breeze blew through the forest, the trees swayed slightly, and a few grass leaves flew over quickly, piercing into their heads like sharp blades, and murderous intent burst out, turning their brains into a paste.

boom!
Countless attacks hit that location, destroying the forest completely and turning it into a charred empty space.

"Locked!" Solo shouted, and used the vampire's secret method to lock onto the assassin's figure.

At this moment, everyone could see a blood-red figure moving fast in the woods. That was the assassin who was marked by the vampire secret technique and had nowhere to hide.

Boom!

The hedgehog-headed man pointed to the sky, and a bolt of lightning split the space in half without any warning. His sturdy body rubbed against the air, making a sharp whistle, and blasted towards the blood-red figure.

Thunderclaps struck the top of the head, and the ground around the bald old man suddenly sank, and the ancient trees and shrubs were directly shattered into pieces!
Boom!
The bald old man was struck heavily by the thunder and flew away, breaking several towering trees before he stopped. He climbed up from the ground with difficulty, his whole body was charred and smoking.

"It's you!" Solo completely saw through the identity of the assassin and was shocked. It turned out to be the ultimate killer!

"It's me." The bald old man coughed out two puffs of black smoke, his eyes firm and he said with righteousness: "The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. It is our duty to punish crime and eliminate evil!"

"Psycho!" The hedgehog-haired man blushed when he saw it was him, and cursed: "Did you not take your medicine today? Why did you kill your own people?"

"He has been brainwashed." Solo whispered. He was a vampire and had high attainments in spiritual matters. He sensed the remaining psychic power in the bald old man. There was no doubt that his memory had been tampered with and his mind had been hypnotized by a psychic.

"I didn't expect this old man to be so powerful." The hedgehog-haired man cursed inwardly.

He could never have imagined that this mentally ill old man who was usually hated by everyone could be so terrifying when he started to fight, and he almost wiped them all out by himself!
"Kill him, we can't stay here for long." Solo took the first step.

A dark red magic circle lit up under the bald old man's feet. No matter how he dodged, the magic circle always followed under his feet. Countless blood-red thorns covered with sharp spikes suddenly sprang up and entangled him tightly.

Strangling!

With a "puff", a large amount of blood burst out from the bald old man's body. The blood turned into countless blood arrows out of thin air and pierced into his body. In the blink of an eye, he was turned into a hedgehog.

"If it weren't for your superb concealment skills, it would only take me a moment to kill you." Solo said in a cold tone. As a vampire elder who has lived for who knows how many years, his strength is naturally self-evident.

"Hehe... Even if you kill me, there will always be someone else to come after me! Justice is endless!" The bald old man spat out blood. His righteous look would probably make people who didn't know the truth think he was some righteous hero.

The blood-colored vines began to wriggle and suck the bald old man's blood. After two or three seconds, his body turned into a mummy, without a drop of blood left in his body.

bang——

The vines contracted and ground the corpse into powder.

"The danger... is over?" The other extraordinary people were sweating profusely, not daring to relax at all, fearing that they would be like those unlucky guys just now, and would be found and killed if they relaxed.

"It's lifted. Hurry up and leave..."

Before Solo could finish his words, there was a loud bang, and the nano armor on his body exploded out of thin air, revealing a naked pale body, with pieces of clothing flying all over the sky.

A bright and scorching sun suddenly rose in the sky, its blazing light illuminated the world and covered Solo in 360 degrees without any blind spots!
"Ah!" Solo screamed in pain. His body quickly caught fire under the scorching sun and turned into charcoal at a speed visible to the naked eye in his unwilling struggle.

This vampire elder who had lived for hundreds of years met his end in such a tragic way.

Sunlight is always the most fatal weakness of vampires.

“Run away!” The hedgehog-headed man was so scared that he almost peed himself. There is also a master!
He fled in panic, but did not notice that a wisp of dark matter had quietly mixed into his shadow.

"Run, run as much as you can." Zhou Yuan laughed secretly.

It would be better to take me to your lair!
