From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 438 Counterattack
Lin Zeyu thought he had taken down one of the enemies with a single shot and was about to boast about it on the communication channel.

Just then, the invisible assassin who had been shot suddenly spurted out a spurt of blood. The splattered flesh and blood seemed to be drawn back into his wound by some force, congealing into a lump and plugging the bloody hole in his chest.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zeyu's eyes widened, and he looked surprised.

This Blood Seal technique is a life-saving skill of the Bloodline race. It cannot heal wounds, but it can use coagulated blood to plug ruptured blood vessels at the wound site.

The fact that the wound has stopped bleeding means that his life has been saved for the time being.

Moreover, this skill comes with a pain suppression effect, allowing the caster to continue fighting despite injuries.

This is also a major characteristic of bloodline demons: as long as they are not completely killed, they may retaliate, and their combat power will not decrease too much after being seriously injured.

After sealing his wounds, the assassin, who possessed the skills of the Bloodline Clan, transformed into an invisible blood shadow. Instead of turning to flee, he lunged towards Su Muyu once more.

He had just rushed into Su Muyu's 300-meter range, and with another acceleration, he could break into attack range in an instant.

Lin Zeyu realized the assassin was still alive and immediately warned, "Be careful!"

Clang!
The assassin flicked out his Blood-Draining Fist Blade with his right hand, aiming for Su Muyu's throat with a supersonic assassination technique.

Just half a meter away from Su Muyu's throat, a hand appeared in front of him.

The hand spread its five fingers, allowing his blood-draining fist blade to pass between them, and then gripped his fist.

Bang!
The palm and fist collided at supersonic speed, producing a deafening explosion.

The assassin tried to use his skills to attack again, but Lu Heng didn't give him another chance. He squeezed hard with his right hand, crushing the assassin's hand bones with a "crack," and then unleashed a burst of lightning power that poured into the assassin's body.

sizzle...

The violent lightning struck the assassin at close range, paralyzing all the cells in his body and causing his blood to boil under the scorching heat.

His skin began to char, emitting a burnt smell.

This assassin is too arrogant. As an assassin, he shouldn't be the first to charge into the enemy ranks to assassinate the Perceptor.

A qualified assassin should let other melee ability users and ranged attackers launch their attacks first, and then strike while the chaos is in, killing the Perceiver in one blow.

Once the Perceiver is successfully killed, the assassin's solo performance begins.

Those lying in ambush here tonight are the strongest superhumans in the ASE Alliance; each one of them is a powerful force that even major powers would fear.

Adding to that the terrifying explosion just now, which should have killed Lu Heng.

Therefore, when he made his move, the assassin believed that he could take care of the remaining three targets on his own.

If Lu Heng had already died in the explosion, and if he were stronger, that possibility truly existed.

Because all three types of ability users—the Perceiver, the Sniper, and the Psychic—are afraid of assassins.

While the Perceptor can detect the assassin's location, they need to invest a lot of resources in their perception skills. In a head-on encounter, a Perceptor of the same level cannot withstand an assassin's attack.

Therefore, the assassin's initial strategy was reasonable; he only needed to kill the Perceiver, and the remaining snipers and psychics were prey he could manipulate at will.

However, Lin Zeyu's ability far exceeded his expectations, and he hit him directly during the sprint.

Since this assassin broke the sound barrier, he hasn't paid attention to bullets for a long time, because bullets can't catch up with him, let alone hit him accurately.

Under normal circumstances, hitting a superhuman in supersonic mode with a bullet is more difficult than firing a machine gun at a supersonic fighter jet.

The assassin's strategy was sound, but he underestimated the strength of his opponent.

……

After the assassin's raid failed, five other superhumans who had been lying in ambush rushed up.

The fastest black man spread his steel wings and swooped down toward Lu Heng, throwing his shield as a weapon.

The shield spun rapidly, creating a storm, and hurtled towards Lu Heng.

Lu Heng flicked his wrist, throwing the assassin away, and then drew his sword and slashed out.

Clang!
A sharp sword light descended from above, cleaving the assassin and his shield in two. Where the sword light passed, a rift wind dragon formed, rushing towards the black man in mid-air.

The wind dragon whipped up countless fissure wind blades, instantly slicing the black man into molecular-level fragments.

Followed by.

The second flying brown-haired white man arrived, his body crackling with lightning, ready to strike.

But the next instant, a gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole exploded in his chest. Before he could even scream, he fell from mid-air.

Three of the six high-level superhumans who were lying in ambush died in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining three stopped rushing forward blindly and began to switch from offense to defense.

at this time.

Su Muyu shouted a warning: "There are rockets! Get out of the way!"

Just as this warning was given, the team members saw the exhaust plumes of rockets appear in the sky, and there was more than one.

Dozens of rocket tails appeared in the sky, shooting towards the group's location like meteors.

Lu Heng's gaze sharpened, and he quickly said, "Get out of the way! Be careful, there might be a superhuman using terminal guidance."

Judging from the rocket's trajectory, it can be roughly identified that this type of rocket is a medium-range rocket, launched from approximately 50 to 60 kilometers away.

The launch involved dozens of medium-range rockets, and at least five or six rocket launcher vehicles were lying in ambush.

The Creator Organization really went all out this time, even preparing rocket launchers in case the explosion failed.

Moreover, given the military technological capabilities of the White Eagle Federation, this medium-range rocket can be guided by GPS and INS, achieving an accuracy of within 5 meters.

These guided rockets are usually used to destroy important targets such as tanks, but now they're being used to shoot people.

For people with superpowers, ordinary GPS guidance is not a significant threat.

Given the speed at which superhumans move, the chances of dodging rockets are very high.

What Lu Heng was really worried about was that the other side had guided ability users, so after seeing the tail flames of dozens of rockets in the sky, he immediately reminded the three members of his team to retreat.

Su Muyu reacted quickly, immediately deploying an invisible force field to envelop all four members of the team before retreating together.

The rocket's exhaust plume in the sky flickered because the satellite positioning system malfunctioned and could not lock onto the stealth target.

With the rocket losing its guidance, hitting such a small target as a superhuman is virtually impossible.

However, things turned out just as Lu Heng had predicted.

As the rocket was diving diagonally downwards, Su Muyu suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly warned, "Something's wrong! I've been locked onto by a perception skill!"

Because of her high level of perception and multiple sensory skills, she can sense when an opponent locks onto her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng's gaze darkened: "The superhuman on the other side definitely has end-point guidance capabilities!"

As expected, after losing satellite guidance, the rockets in the sky began to fly inertial trajectory. However, after Su Muyu was locked onto by the perception skill, the rockets in the sky began to adjust their flight direction.

Fifty or sixty rockets were divided into four groups and dived in four directions.

"Holy crap! There are over twenty of them coming this way. I'll adjust my direction wherever I run." Lin Zeyu ran while using his Void Eye to observe the rockets in the sky, feeling like he was being chased by a dozen Death Scythe missiles and had a sense of impending being blown up. "I can handle it myself, don't worry about me," Xie Shi'en said calmly.

He possesses the ability to teleport, so even if rockets have guidance systems, they cannot hit him.

Lu Heng was able to handle the bombardment of rockets on his own, but Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu had no way to deal with it.

Lin Zeyu considered using a sniper rifle to destroy the rockets. With his abilities, he could indeed do it, but he could only take out one or two at most. There were twenty or thirty rockets rushing towards him now.

In this critical situation, something even more critical happened.

Su Muyu called out again, "The second wave of rockets is coming!"

Upon hearing this, the team looked up at the sky and, sure enough, saw a second wave of rocket exhaust plumes appear at the horizon.

With the efficiency of medium-range rocket launchers, they can indeed load ammunition quickly, and as long as there is enough ammunition, they can fire wave after wave.

Lu Heng originally wanted to unleash the power of the Wind Lord to fly up and destroy the rockets. Although there were quite a few, he could still manage to deal with the two groups of rockets heading towards Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu.

However, a second wave of rockets has now appeared. What if there are a third or fourth wave later...?

Attacking with rockets is simply not a solution.

Lu Heng's gaze darkened, and he asked, "Find the sensor on the other side responsible for guidance!"

Su Muyu was locked onto by the opponent's perception skill, and only this perceiver had the ability to guide it.

Moreover, she had already located the target when the rocket was guided by her special ability. She had even considered using the Azure Phoenix to attack the perceiver if necessary, thus interrupting his special ability guidance effect.

"Behind the hillside to the left, there's a blond white man," Su Muyu immediately reported the target location.

The moment the location was announced, Lu Heng had already sped off.

When I saw the rockets appear in the sky earlier, they had already started to charge up. The longer the [Wind Lord's Power] is charged up, the higher the speed it will explode.

It has now been charged to its limit and has unleashed a maximum acceleration of 1000%.

Lu Heng simultaneously entered the [Shadow Walk] state, ignoring physical collisions, which meant zero wind resistance, plus the 300% acceleration in the Shadow Walk state.

In an instant, Lu Heng unleashed a maximum speed of 5.8 times the speed of sound, which was even faster than the terminal dive speed of a rocket.

As the rocket swooped down, Lu Heng shot out and passed right by it.

At 5.8 times the speed of sound, with a top speed of nearly 2000 meters per second, it rushed into the interior of the left hillside in the blink of an eye.

In the shadows, I saw the perceiver hiding behind the hillside.

A flash of light and shadow, and Lu Heng burst out from the hillside, thrusting his sword straight forward.

Bang!
The Perceiver was blown into a cloud of blood mist by the sonic boom sword, which was 5.8 times stronger than normal, and not a single intact bone could be found.

The moment the Perceiver was killed, a series of loud explosions came from behind.

The rockets bombarded the ground, creating several large craters.

Moreover, this batch of rockets used cluster munitions, with the munitions scattering and creating a series of explosions.

In an instant, the ground, with a diameter of two kilometers, was blasted into ruins and riddled with craters by fifty or sixty rockets.

At the edge of the blast radius, Su Muyu erected a prism force field to resist the shock wave of the explosion.

Countless shrapnel and debris struck the prism force field, nearly breaking through its defensive limit.

After the explosion ended, Su Muyu let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the Perceiver responsible for guiding the rocket was killed, causing the rocket to lose guidance in its final stage and miss its intended target.

If the supernatural guidance system were still in place, the consequences would definitely be more severe.

Lu Heng turned to look at the explosion site and quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Thank goodness, we're alright." Su Muyu glanced behind her to make sure her teammates weren't injured.

“Very good, begin the counterattack.” Lu Heng said, turning around and drawing his sword to attack the remaining two ability users sent by the ASE Alliance.

The two superhumans realized something was wrong and tried to evacuate, but it was too late.

In terms of both speed and combat strength, they cannot compare with Lu Heng.

Six high-level ability users were originally sent, but four of them were killed despite having the upper hand in the battle. Now, only the two of them remain, and they have no choice but to retreat.

The two reacted quickly, splitting up and retreating the instant the perceiver was killed.

Lu Heng's [Shadow Walk] state still had a second effect left unused, so he used Shadow Walk to sweep across the hillside and behead the fifth person.

Immediately afterwards, he charged up again, unleashed his maximum speed, and killed the sixth person with a single sword strike.

The remaining armed mercenaries are no longer a threat.

Lu Heng did not stop there, because a third wave of rockets flew in from the sky.

"Rocket vehicle position."

Lu Heng reported the target and then sped off in the direction from which the rocket was coming.

At its maximum speed, it can cover a distance of two kilometers in one second, while the range of a medium-range rocket is only fifty or sixty kilometers.

In less than a minute, Lu Heng arrived at the rocket vehicle position.

This area was originally camouflaged, and there are still camouflage curtains torn off the ground.

At this moment, on the rocket vehicle position, twenty or thirty mercenaries are loading rockets.

On one side of the position, two white men were arguing.

One person said that the signal ahead had disappeared, they couldn't make contact, and they didn't know the situation, so they thought they should retreat immediately.

The other insisted on launching a fourth wave of rockets, saying that someone would be responsible for the guidance mission, and they only needed to launch the rockets.

Lu Heng swooped down and unleashed a powerful Wind Dragon Slash, sending six rocket launchers and the mercenaries in the position flying into the air.

boom! boom! boom……

The remaining rockets detonated one after another, creating mushroom clouds on the ground.

After Lu Heng dealt with the rocket vehicle position, he said in the communication channel, "Keep searching. There should still be someone behind this nearby."

Before Ke Yiming died, he was clearly controlled by some kind of ability. Even a high-level control skill could not ignore distance.

The person controlling Ke Yiming is Will Berg, which means that Will Berg should be nearby, at most no more than 10 kilometers away.

Not long after the question was asked, Su Muyu replied: "There were flames ten kilometers to the north, so the person behind it may have already left."

Just as Su Muyu had guessed, Lu Heng arrived at a low building ten kilometers to the north and saw that the entire building was engulfed in flames.

Inside the building, a very luxurious armchair was burning in the flames, and the area around it was completely deserted.
