Chapter 254 254. Great Terror
Lu Yao piloted the plane, steadily climbing until he quickly reached an altitude of ten kilometers.
Kotaro Komura was an out-of-body strong practitioner with an incredibly powerful Divine Sense Perception.
For the sake of caution, Lu Yao flew up another five kilometers, reaching the "stratosphere." At this distance, even the strongest Divine Sense Perception from the other party wouldn't be able to detect them in advance.
What followed was a wait for the enemy to enter the ambush location. When the time came, his missiles, combined with the Fire God Cannons of the three girls, would deliver a saturated strike, annihilating the opponents instantly!
At this moment, Lu Yao found the view from the stratosphere breathtakingly beautiful. Beneath him was an endless sea of white clouds, lighter than cotton and meeting the boundless blue sky.
Two golden suns shone overhead, casting a warm and gentle glow, along with... a chilling sunlight!!??
Otherworld had two suns, something to which Lu Yao had already grown accustomed, just as the people of Blue Star were accustomed to the constancy of their own sun.
Yet now, he felt that something about one of the suns was strange, the light it cast upon him was uncomfortable.
Looking up with Focused Spirit, he concentrated his vision but could only see a large golden orb, though it seemed to be moving vaguely.
Confused, Lu Yao focused his Mind Force at his forehead, activating his Heavenly Eye, and witnessed a shocking scene—
What he had thought was a sun turned out to be a "triangular monster with an eye in the middle," gigantic, almost as big as the moon, with countless sky-reaching tentacles writhing behind it!
It floated like a satellite in synchronous orbit of the Otherworld, its central eye tightly shut, while the massive pillar-like tentacles on its body slowly undulated!
This thing was eerily familiar; his own Star Key, the emblem of the Western Religion, and the symbols in Hong Renkun's books, all resembled this creature!
Lu Yao was incredibly shocked, muttering to himself, "What on earth is this thing!?"
The next second, he felt something crawling through his Mind Force, like flames traveling up a rope.
He hastily closed his "Heavenly Eye" and severed the connection, and the monster immediately became blurry and morphed back into a bright orb, the sense of crisis vanishing.
All that had just happened seemed like an illusion...
Lu Yao gasped for breath, feeling as if he'd been fished out from icy water, with cold sweat soaking his entire body.
"This monster... simply seeing it gave me a sense of impending death!"
His complexion looked terrible, and deep down, he had a premonition—this thing would definitely clash with him!
At that moment, Liao Qe, who was controlling the drone, reminded him through the earpiece:
[The enemy is expected to arrive in five minutes. Three vehicles, Kotaro and an expert are sitting in the middle one. Be careful, Kotaro is very polite, the other one is likely an Innate.]
[Received~]
[Understood~]
The sweet voices momentarily soothed the anxiety in Lu Yao's heart.
"Let's not worry about that for now, and focus on the task at hand."
~~~~~~~~
"Mr. Long Cang, after you."
"Minister Komura, please go ahead."
Kotaro Komura and Long Cang exchanged courtesies as they both settled into the back seat of the car.
The new Embassy Military Officer was an Innate Expert. Unlike his predecessor, he couldn't be treated purely as a subordinate and had to be given proper respect.
"With an Innate like you present, not only this matter, but many difficulties can be easily resolved."
"Minister Komura is too kind," Long Cang said with a tap on the hilt of his Longquan Treasured Sword, smiling:
"How's your recovery from your injuries? The goal is just marrow-cleansing and Blood-Exchange, and I can handle that myself just as well."
Kotaro Komura showed off the Ice Jade Bracelet on his wrist and exclaimed, "A wound that should take nearly half a year to heal has healed in less than two days, truly a divine object!"
He gently touched it with his hand, and a burst of icy sensation cleared his mind and soul.
"Long Cang, it's hard to imagine how wealthy those ancient cultivators were, a bracelet made entirely of Ice Jade."
"I often participate in the excavation of Shun Dynasty tombs, so I've seen a lot. This bracelet isn't the most extravagant; ancient cultivators even made chairs and even entire beds out of Ice Jade...and weapons as well."
"Hence they were completely excavated, leaving us later generations without such fortune."
After a casual exchange, Long Cang flipped through the information and photos of their target, suddenly speaking somewhat sheepishly, "Minister Komura, I have a favor to ask."
"Feel free to speak, Long Cang."
"When we kill Lu Yao later, could you let me try to capture those two sisters alive?"
Kotaro Komura laughed, "Do you have a fondness for beauties?"
Long Cang nodded, a look of anticipation on his face, "Those two sisters are women with naturally sensitive constitutions, a slight provocation, and they become unable to extricate themselves. Such people are one in a million, a rare treasure, I cannot bear to waste such a gift from the heavens."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Kotaro Komura waved his hand generously, "Please feel free to do as you please later."

While they were discussing, Lu Yao had already pressed the launch button.
The cruise missile shot out with a small pair of wings, tail flames spurting as it dived downwards. Find your next adventure on empire
This time was a little different, Lu Yao had activated the missile's "television guidance."
The fighter screen showed the images captured by the missile, allowing him to manually control the missile's flight trajectory with it.
Komura couldn't just take the hit like The Empress Dowager, he would certainly evade, so Lu Yao needed to control it personally.
The speed of the cruise missile accelerated rapidly, quickly surpassing the speed of sound.
When it was 5 kilometers from the target, Kotaro Komura sensed it and made a split-second decision to jump out of the car, with Long Cang following close behind.
But the three sisters were well prepared, entering the Spirit Refining State and pressing the trigger, the machine gun bullets screamed out with high heat, forming continuous lines of fire in the air, engulfing the entire convoy.
"Firearms attack by Spirit Refining experts! There are at least three!"
Long Cang waved the Longquan Treasured Sword in his hand, sparks flying as he struggled to block the cannonballs, and soon let out a pained scream as he was hit by two shots, creating two teacup-sized holes in his body, with a glimpse of his organs;
But Kotaro Komura was unscathed! He threw two shuttle-shaped daggers that danced in the air, cleaving the incoming cannonballs in two or deflecting them.
The "shuttle-shaped daggers" seemed to have a life of their own, guarding firmly in front of him, blocking all attacks; this was a unique "object controlling" technique of out-of-body experts.
Moreover, Komura immediately located the three sisters and took another "shuttle-shaped dagger" from his waistband, infusing it with Innate True Qi!
With the blessing of Innate True Qi, the dagger visibly transformed, becoming colder and sharper, turning from ordinary iron into a divine weapon!
Kotaro Komura had already locked onto his target, and in the next second would control the "shuttle-shaped daggers," decapitating the enemy from several kilometers away.
But the cruise missile had already descended from the sky!
The attack of the three sisters was only to impede Komura's movements and to disturb his judgment!
They did quite well.
Komura's Divine Sense Perception sounded frantic alarms, but the distance was simply too short, and in the next second, the missile had already reached overhead!
He exerted all his strength to leap to the side, but only managed to jump 50 meters before the missile, which had curved its course, caught up with him.
A dazzling flash of light appeared out of nowhere, followed by a deafening explosion!
The powerful shockwave swept through the area, throwing up tons of sand and vegetation into the air!
What do you think?
