Chapter 34: The Burning Sky
In the abandoned factory in the middle of the night, it was quiet, the opposite of the bright lights in the distance.
But in this deserted place, where there is no human figure, a man is standing upside down in the factory.
The man wore only one pair of pants, and his bare upper body was covered with pieces of lean, strong muscles. He used one index finger to do a handstand on the ground, and his body was rising and falling with the bend of his arm.
If this scene had been seen by ordinary citizens, they would have been amazed at the strength of the man and the strength of his fingers.
But in the eyes of Li Anping, who is exercising, it is not even a warm-up.
After doing a thousand one-finger handstands, Li Anping stood up again, but his eyes were in the shadows.
"Are you...... What is it? There was deep confusion in his tone.
This is normal, in the face of a 'person' who looks like a human form, but has no breath, no heartbeat, and no breath of life, everyone will be confused and even afraid.
The figure in the shadows stepped out. He appears to be a man, wearing the blue and white uniform of the Secret Service, that is, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. The five-pointed star on his shoulders shows that he has a high position.
The man's face is very pale, his hair is inch, there are no eyebrows, and there are no wrinkles on his face, which makes it impossible to tell his age. But Li Anping looked at the man's eyes, and seemed to be able to see endless vicissitudes, which were countless life and death, love and hatred.
This is a man who has had countless experiences.
But Li Anping didn't feel any breath of life in his body, no breathing, no heartbeat, not even the sound of blood flowing, muscles and bones moving, and his feet touching the ground.
The man looks like a human, but he doesn't have the slightest human feature, so Li Anping just asked him what it was, not what he was.
"You can call me Xia Liekong, I am one of the supreme leaders of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow." The man said silently.
Li Anping was taken aback, he looked around, observed his surroundings, and settled down to listen to the sounds nearby. But he heard nothing but the sound of the night wind blowing through the factory gates.
"Don't be nervous, I'm the only one coming to you today." Xia Liekong raised his finger and pointed at Li Anping through the air: "Let's show you something." ”
Originally, he was going to directly transmit a piece of information to Li Anping, but after Lu Dao's finger was pointed out, his thinking had just touched Li Anping's brain, and he felt a bloody wind blowing in his face.
Countless dead people wailed before him, and hundreds of images of death recurred in his mind.
Kano, Shang Zhenbang, Shang Anguo, and many villains who were killed by Li Anping......
In Li Anping's mind, it was like a hell for the dead, except for killing, it was death. And he is a man who has strayed into hell.
Xia Liekong couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Li Anping in disbelief.
"What are you doing?" Li Anping looked at each other with a puzzled expression. In his feeling just now, the other party just stretched out his finger and pointed at him, but did nothing.
"I just wanted to tell you something through my brain." Xia Liekong shrugged: "But it seems that your brain is not very friendly." After speaking, he glanced at Li Anping in a little surprise.
"To put it simply, I want you to join the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow." He raised his hand to stop Li Anping's answer: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I've been following you since I was in the middle city. I know what you're doing, and I know what you're doing so far, mainly killing criminals, villains, and scum. ”
"But do you think it works?" Xia Liekong sighed and said, "You kill a few villains every day, it's really happy. But it will only lead to social unrest, and even those who have died, whose vacated positions will add to the chaos for the rest. ”
"Then do nothing? Have you seen what happened to those innocent people, those who were oppressed? Li Anping sneered.
"I'm sorry about Zhongdu's affairs and your affairs, but even if you don't make a move, Shang Anguo won't be active for long, and he has already been on our blacklist. Moreover, the riots you have caused in Zhongdu have directly or indirectly hurt many innocent people. ”
Xia Lie said unyieldingly: "Managing the country is never a simple matter, you can't do it roughly, I admit that we have made mistakes, but recklessly messing around like you will only make this country worse." ”
"You're compromised, and those scum can only teach them what is wrong with blood." Li Anping completely disagreed with what Xia Liekong said: "Only killing them is the best way." People like Kano, organizations like lone wolves, you just let them go and make them even better. The appearance of the Emerald City today is all caused by your weakness. ”
"Emerald City......" Xia Liekong said in a deep voice, "Great Xia is not the only city. To be honest, it was only after I came here that I found out that the situation in the Emerald City was even worse than I had imagined. But there is no way around it, in recent years the Ice Castle has grown stronger and stronger, and it is constantly sending troops to our borders. The army, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and more than seventy percent of the strength are concentrated in the northern frontier, opposing the Ice Castle. And each of the three major organizations here has a strong force, and if it is forced, it is too easy to worsen the situation. There was a big mess.
Therefore, the matter of the Emerald City affects the whole body and is related to the situation in the entire southern Xinjiang. Once we take action here, the strength of the northern frontier will be insufficient, and even the northern front will be eroded, and the army of the Ice Castle will take advantage of the situation to move south, spreading the war to the entire territory of Great Xia. That's the real curse. In comparison, the affairs of the Emerald City can only be delayed again and again. ”
Seeing Li Anping's frowning and thinking, Xia Liekong continued: "That's why we need your strength. If more strong people like you join. The strength of Daxia will be stronger, so that it can better control all the places in the country, and with the support of strong force, the law will be strictly enforced. Black potential will also lose the breeding ground. Then bastards like Kano or Shang Zhenbang can't do anything wrong.
Isn't that much more effective than if you were to kill some people outright? ”
Xia Liekong said a lot, but saw Li Anping unresponsive. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart. At this moment, Li Anping opened his mouth and said: "I will go to Tianjing, and I will also go to see the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, but not now." There are still a lot of damned people in this city who haven't died. ”
Seeing Li Anping's stubborn appearance, Xia Liekong frowned and said, "You can not join the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, but at least go to Tianjing to have a look, it will definitely change your mind." ”
Li Anping shook his head, turned around and walked back, since this place had been discovered by Xia Liekong, then he planned to leave here and find a new place to rest.
"Don't make a move on the Zhongyi Hall and the Qilin Regiment, especially the Zhongyi Hall, they have too many grassroots personnel, once there is trouble, the entire Emerald City will be in chaos. There is also the Qilin Group, their relationship with the Baiyue Royal Family also needs to be confirmed by us. ”
Seeing that Li Anping didn't answer, he turned his head to leave, Xia Liekong's figure flashed, like a breeze, and floated in front of Li Anping, blocking him.
Li Anping looked at Xia Liekong who was blocking his eyes, and his tone became cold: "You want to arrest me?" ”
Xia Liekong smiled and said, "I've seen you shoot many times, and your physical strength is very strong, but there is almost no operation on Nian Qi, just following instinct." And the amount of mental energy is only at the level of the first energy level. It's okay to meet ordinary abilities, but once you meet a real master, these will be your Achilles' heels.
The flesh is too easy to restrain itself. Humans are strong because we use tools......"
Xia Liekong was halfway through speaking, but found that Li Anping had already walked away from him, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all. He frowned, stopped in front of him again, and said, "Don't think that you are fearless after defeating a few minions. There are too many abilities in this world to count, and there are many kinds of weapons to kill people. Not to mention anything else, just cloudburst bombs and high-energy lasers, these are not something you can resist with your body alone.
I've seen a lot of mutant people like you who have blind confidence in their own flesh, and to be honest, you guys are the first to die on the battlefield.
So don't you want to learn to read qi? Only the ability of the person who is capable himself, coupled with the use of mental energy, is truly powerful. It can even confront a modern army. And Daxia Dragon Sparrow has the most advanced training system in the world. There you can learn the essence of your own abilities and the techniques of using various mental qi......"
Xia Liekong said a lot in one breath, but Li Anping didn't even stop his steps, making what he said in vain. Looking at the back of Li Anping's departure, Xia Liekong laughed and muttered to himself: "I can't imagine that I still have a time when I beg someone to join......
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the entire factory changed dramatically in an instant, and all the doors and windows disappeared, sealing Li Anping and him inside like a box.
Seeing that Li Anping finally turned his head, Xia Liekong explained: "This is my ability. Speaking of which, many people know that my ability is eight dragons and eight phases, with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, life and death, disillusionment and eight powers. In front of you, it's actually just my clone, the Phantom Dragon. It has about one-eighth of my strength. All you see now is some illusion. Even the essence of my body is an illusion. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Liekong also breathed a sigh of relief, just now I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he will bounce out if he stretches his consciousness directly into the other party's brain, and he thought that the hallucination was useless to Li Anping. I can't imagine that the hallucinations received visually still have an effect on Li Anping.
Thinking of this, he smiled confidently again, and said to Li Anping: "Let's make a bet, within 24 hours, as long as you can't escape from this space created by my illusion, you have to promise me to join the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow." ”
Li Anping finally understood why there was no sign of life on the other party's body. It turned out to be a doppelganger of ability. He looked up at the space around him and saw that it seemed to be about the size of the original factory, except that the windows and doors were gone, leaving only the black and white walls around.
"And what if you lose?"
"Huh?" Xia Liekong showed a surprised expression on his face, and then smiled: "Boy, if you win, you can ask me casually." ”
"Good!" Before the words fell, Xia Liekong hadn't even reacted, his ears were already covered with the sound of howling wind.
And Li Anping has disappeared from his eyes, and even on his retina, there is still a faint afterimage.
Then a fist slammed down from his head, slowly enlarging in his eyes until it filled his entire vision. Xia Liekong didn't even make the slightest reaction.
It's not that he didn't have time to react, and it's not that he was too scared to react. It's that Li Anping's speed is too fast, even faster than his brain to receive the news that Li Anping punched him.
In this instant, he didn't even know that Li Anping had appeared in front of him.
It wasn't until a fist smashed into the top of his head from top to bottom, and a huge amount of force exploded on his head, that he really reacted.
Rumble!
The cage of illusion was shattered by the infinite force of the first second.
Immediately after that, the shock wave generated by the dispersal of the fist wind blew all the debris in the factory into the air, and under the impact of the huge force, the cement floor under Xia Liekong's feet was shaken into countless pieces, and exploded into a large pit, countless stones, and dirt flew everywhere, and it seemed that the entire earth was shaking.
I saw that in the smoke and dust, the factory made a series of cracking sounds, cracks climbed up the wall, and then there was a loud bang, with a wave of air gushing out, the entire factory collapsed in a ruin.
If I hadn't hallucinated in front of him beforehand, and his punch hadn't really touched me, I'm afraid the doppelganger would have collapsed. ’
Xia Lie in the distance watched all this wordlessly. Before he knew it, he had lost his human form and turned into a small white dragon two or three meters long floating in the air.
This is the Phantom Dragon, the original form of his clone. Stimulated by a huge threat, he subconsciously recovered to his strongest form at the moment.
But even so, he didn't have the slightest confidence that he would be able to take Li Anping's punch just now with this attitude.
It would take at least four dragons to possess the body before he could be sure of taking this punch.
At this moment, Li Anping walked out of the billowing smoke. When he saw Xia Liekong's appearance, he showed a look of surprise. However, he didn't ask much, just said to Xia Liekong.
"I want you to cooperate with me in cleaning up the Emerald City. When it's clean enough, I'll go to Tenkyo to check it out. Of course, if you don't agree, I'll do it myself. ”
Without giving Xia Liekong a chance to say a few more words, Li Anping jumped hard and disappeared into the vast night. Only Xia Liekong was left alone, looking at the ruins in front of him with a wry smile on his face.
