Chapter 420 You really think you're so great?
Li Menghan led ten members with superpowers, traveling in military off-road vehicles towards the southern border.
Along the way, the scenery on both sides of the road became increasingly desolate.
The further you go, the more dilapidated the houses become.
The streets were littered with wrecked cars and bloodstained clothes.
Zhao Qiang, who was driving, looked very serious.
He gripped the steering wheel and shouted loudly to Li Menghan:
"Commander Li, the combat zone is just ahead."
"Those foreign warlords are extremely reckless in war. They'll do anything to seize territory."
"We need to be careful later. Don't leave the car unattended."
Li Menghan sat in the passenger seat.
He looked out at the places ravaged by war.
His brows furrowed tightly.
This was the first time he had ever witnessed firsthand the real traces left by war.
The images I saw in school and on TV back then never had this sense of realism or oppression.
He felt his heart beating a little fast. But he clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to calm down.
He thought to himself, "I'm here to be a hero. I absolutely cannot be afraid."
The car continued driving for about ten kilometers.
Sudden.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A burst of very dense gunfire came from ahead.
Zhao Qiang immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the car behind a small earthen mound.
Li Menghan pushed open the car door. She cautiously peeked out and looked ahead.
It's a few hundred meters ahead.
It was a very dilapidated village.
Hundreds of armed men in tattered uniforms, carrying rifles, were firing indiscriminately throughout the village.
Inside the village, there were many unarmed, ordinary people.
The people were terrified and fled in all directions. Some women, holding their children, sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Those militants didn't care whether people were civilians or not. They would open fire as soon as they saw someone.
"boom!"
A grenade exploded right in the middle of the crowd.
Several civilians were blown to pieces.
Li Menghan witnessed this scene.
His eyes instantly turned red.
He had never seen anything so cruel. These people were simply devils.
The burning desire to be a hero and to save lives surged within him.
Li Menghan turned her head and looked at the ten superpowered team members behind her.
He loudly issued the order:
"Everyone get off the bus!"
"Those bastards up ahead are slaughtering ordinary people!"
"We can't just stand here and watch!"
"Follow me and charge down there! Wipe out all those militants!"
"Rescue those civilians!"
Upon hearing Li Menghan's order.
The short-haired girl said hesitantly:
"Commander Li, our orders are to report to the front-line command post, not to fight against stragglers here."
"Besides, the other side has too many people. We only have eleven."
"It's too dangerous to keep going like this."
Li Menghan heard what the short-haired girl said.
He shouted angrily:
"That's an order!"
"They're killing people right now! How can we cower like cowards!"
"Aren't you people with superpowers? Don't you even have this much guts?!"
"I'll go first! If you're scared, just wait here!"
After saying that, Li Menghan jumped out from behind the earthen slope.
He strode towards the village.
As he ran, he silently recited the "fire control technique" his father had taught him.
"Fire!"
Li Menghan stretched out her hands.
Li Ze, far away in Han City, watched his son's reckless behavior through a water mirror.
Li Ze shook his head helplessly.
However, he still cooperated fully. Two very large red flames appeared in Li Menghan's hands.
Li Menghan saw the flame in his hand. His confidence grew even stronger.
He shouted and hurled two balls of fire directly at the armed men.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two balls of fire exploded directly in the crowd of militants.
A dozen or so militants screamed in agony as they were burned by the flames.
The remaining militants, seeing that someone was attacking, immediately pointed all their guns at Li Menghan.
"Da da da da..."
Countless bullets flew towards Li Menghan.
Zhao Qiang, hiding behind the earthen slope, saw Li Menghan being targeted by a group of attackers.
He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly:
"What are you waiting for! Protect the Commander!"
"Rush!"
Zhao Qiang roared and activated his supernatural power.
His body became incredibly strong. He was like a tank, charging straight into the village.
"Bang!"
He punched an armed man in the chest, sending him flying more than ten meters away.
The other nine members of the superpowered team also rushed down.
They each used their own special abilities.
Some moved extremely fast, weaving through the crowd. Others attacked the enemy with water and clods of earth.
In an instant, the fighting in the village became extremely fierce.
Li Menghan was very happy to see that all his teammates had come down.
He stood still, continuously throwing flames from his hands.
These ordinary armed men, although armed, still didn't gain much of an advantage when facing superhumans.
Soon, most of the hundreds of militants were killed. The remaining men began to retreat.
Li Menghan watched the fleeing enemy.
He felt extremely relieved. He shouted loudly:
"Haha! See that? These losers are no match for us!"
"Keep chasing them! Wipe them all out!"
Li Menghan led the charge forward.
But... just as they chased them out of the village...
Sudden.
From a grove of trees ahead.
Three people slowly walked out.
These three people weren't wearing military uniforms. They were wearing very strange black robes.
They were not carrying any guns or weapons.
However, they exuded a very powerful aura.
The man leading the group was in his thirties. He had a long scar on his face.
The scarred man looked at Li Menghan and the superpowered team rushing towards him.
He gave a cold laugh.
He said loudly:
"A bunch of useless people who have just awakened a tiny bit of superpowers."
"You dare to act wildly here?"
The scarred man extended his right hand. Suddenly, a blue light shone from his palm.
This radiance was completely different from the flame in Li Menghan's hand.
It possesses a terrifying destructive power.
The scarred man casually waved his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The ball of azure light flew directly towards Zhao Qiang, who was at the forefront.
Zhao Qiang saw the light flying towards him.
He roared, concentrating all his strength in his arms, trying to block the attack.
"Bang!"
A blue light shone on Zhao Qiang's arm.
Zhao Qiang's much-vaunted enhancement power was like paper in the face of the cyan light.
"Snap!"
Zhao Qiang's arms were snapped in two by the impact. He was sent flying backward by the immense force, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"team leader!"
The other members of the superpowered team were all stunned to see Zhao Qiang killed in one move.
Li Menghan also stopped in her tracks.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the scarred man.
"Who...who are you?!" Li Menghan asked loudly.
The scarred man looked at Li Menghan and gave a very disdainful smile.
He said loudly:
"Who is it?"
"Ever since those powerful cultivators killed the Western gods."
"The rules of this world have changed."
"The spiritual energy that was previously sealed has begun to recover."
"In this world today, everyone can cultivate immortality!"
The scarred man's eyes turned extremely crazed:
"I used to be just a mercenary. But now, I'm a Qi Refining Level Two cultivator!"
"You people have gained these tiny superpowers through mutation."
"Compared to true cultivation techniques, they are all trash!"
After the scarred man finished speaking...
The two people behind him also extended their hands. Their hands, too, glowed with different colored lights.
The three of them were all cultivators at the Qi Refining stage!
Although it's only at the first or second level of Qi Refining, for ordinary superhumans, this is already an insurmountable gap.
The power of cultivators can crush all supernatural abilities.
The short-haired girl saw this situation.
Her face turned very pale.
She shouted loudly at Li Menghan:
"Commander Li! Retreat immediately!"
"They are cultivators! We have no chance against them!"
"Hurry up!"
Li Menghan stood there.
He was still holding that ball of red flame in his hand.
He looked at the three cultivators who were closing in step by step.
For the first time, he felt genuine fear.
He originally thought that by mastering "fire control," he could become a hero and be invincible.
But now, he realizes.
I realize how incredibly weak I am in this world.
Others are also cultivators. Moreover, their spells are far more powerful than his.
The scarred man stared at Li Menghan, who was in a daze.
He laughed loudly:
"Retreat? None of you are leaving today!"
"You're all going to die here!"
The scarred man raised his hand again. A larger ball of blue light condensed in his hand.
He planned to kill Li Menghan with a single blow.
Li Menghan watched the cyan light fly towards her.
His legs felt like they were filled with lead. He couldn't move them at all.
He closed his eyes. His heart was filled with despair.
Just at this time.
At Beichen Garden in Seoul.
Li Ze looked at the scene reflected in the water mirror.
He sighed helplessly.
"That silly boy. He's such a worry."
Li Ze leaned back in his chair.
He raised his right hand very casually.
They are separated by thousands of kilometers.
Facing the direction of the scarred man in the water mirror.
He flicked his finger lightly.
"Bang!"
Outside that small village in the south.
The scarred man hadn't yet unleashed the blue light from his hand.
His body suddenly felt as if it had been crushed by a huge mountain.
"boom!"
The scarred man exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
The two cultivators behind him didn't even have time to react.
"Bang! Bang!"
It exploded along with it.
Three cultivators who were just arrogantly practicing Qi Refining stage.
In less than a second, they all vanished completely.
Li Menghan kept her eyes closed. She waited for a long time, but felt no pain.
He slowly opened his eyes.
He saw that the three cultivators in front of him had disappeared. Only three pools of blood remained on the ground.
Li Menghan was stunned.
He turned his head and looked at the equally stunned members of the superpowered team.
"What...what's going on?" Li Menghan asked loudly.
The eldest brother, hidden in the woods, watched this scene unfold.
He silently said to himself:
"Young master, you really think you're so great?"
"If it weren't for the boss protecting you, you would have been dead a hundred times over by now."
The eldest brother didn't go out. He continued to lead a thousand cyborgs, hiding in the shadows, protecting Li Menghan's safety.
