Chapter 291 - Reinforcement with Devastating Arrows (1/2)

The news flooded to Lu Xuan from all places before long.

He quickly acquired intelligence that someone assaulted the Special Task Force and that there were even people being seen outside of Zhongnanhai.

That all meant that the operation was far more than just what Lu Xuan saw at the moment.

It also meant that the ones who assaulted the Heavenly Palace were but a handful of those actually involved.

Another group actually assaulted the Special Task Force with the intention of taking out the Dragon, and the assault went all the way outside of Zhongnanhai.

The ones that were disposed of the quickest were the ones assaulting Zhongnanhai, as that was where the Inner Palace was located, which meant that the place was filled with formidable beings.

The Huaxian authorities commanded a greater force than the fighters who were known to all, and a portion of those people was stationed at the Inner Palace.

The invading forces seemed to intimidate the Inner Palace instead of wanting to fight the Inner Palace outright. There were three that approached the Inner Palace, two of whom quickly fled after a Celestial among them was killed.

On Lu Xuan’s side, he simply went on to take out the invading fighters single-handedly.

Things were most intense at the side of the Special Task Force.

According to the intelligence organization serving the Heavenly Palace, the fighting at the Special Task Force was still ongoing.

“All small fry punks with no far sight to speak of.”

Lu Xuan smirked and put the intelligence report down, ordering a helicopter at the Heavenly Palace to send him to the Special Task Force’s headquarters right away.

The Special Task Force and the Heavenly Palace were situated at the southern and the northern ends of the city, respectively, which was a distance that not even a helicopter could swiftly cover.

The fighting was still ongoing when Lu Xuan got there. All manner of terrifying attacks broke out in the sky. The scene was incredibly harrowing.

The capital was not far away, so there was no way they could have deployed heavy military weapons, as that would have shaken the entire nation very quickly.

As such, the cultivators were the ones doing the bulk of the fighting, which the heaviest of weapons employed being the likes of bazookas, with the use of weapons of higher classes being deemed unthinkable.

Even so, the battlefield looked to be in a deadlock with no side gaining an upper-hand over the other.

The invaders that were deemed the most difficult were a bunch of mutated monsters that were mutated due to being tainted with spirit qi in their early stages.

Those beasts were very difficult, and their numbers were staggering. The way they pounced onto their enemies made it look like monsters were overwhelming a fort.

Those monsters, enthralled by some kind of tamer, emerged unceasingly day and night, hitting the external fringes of the Special Task Force. They were then engaging with the reinforcements, so as to hold the human forces back.

Lu Xuan saw everything while standing on the helicopter.

“Looks like the main target of the fighting tonight is the Special Task Force then.” Lu Xuan was grinning. He realized right there and then that with the Heavenly Palace being so newly established, its importance still paled in comparison to the Special Task Force in the eyes of many, despite him being in charge of the former.

The Heavenly Palace was seen to be a place thought best taken out, but the ones assaulting the place would do well holding Lu Xuan back for some time if taking out the place did not seem possible.

However, there was pretty much no one who expected Lu Xuan to be so ferocious that he was able to take out all Celestial Realm beings single-handedly, without even breaking a sweat.

It did not take long for Lu Xuan to spot a humanoid silhouette charging into the midst of the beasts among the flickering lights of the battlefield. The figure held a sword which was lined with sword aura that easily tore through the hide of those mutated beasts, which were harder than steel.

It did not take more than one swing to kill one beast, and the speed at which it was done was frightening.

That figure was none other than Ming Yueyao, whom Lu Xuan had not seen for quite some time.
