Chapter 744: Chapter 690: Super Divine Envoy Level!
The escort ship carrying Lin Tianchen, with the aid of a tugboat, slowly entered Dock Four of the Capital Ship.
As the hatch opened and Lin Tianchen descended the gangway, he instantly realized he had been betrayed.
At that mont, a young man with white hair and a Western face stepped out from the depths of the dock, smiling as he gazed at Lin Tianchen.
“Old Lin, what’s your intention in coming to the Capital Ship at this ti?”
With the appearance of this figure, six other silhouettes gradually erged around the dock.
All of them were either Quasi-mbers or Congressman-Level masters.
Yet, their expressions and deanor were off: so had faces stiff and cold, looking like the dead; others had blood-red eyes and vicious, enraged expressions, resembling rabid beasts.
Their Battle Dragons were hidden in the dark, sharing similar conditions.
Around them were eighteen cages, within which towering Demons slowly erged, their eyes locked on Lin Tianchen, drooling at the lips, emitting low, guttural growls.
Lin Tianchen imdiately raised his head to look toward the command station above the dock.
This B4 dock belonged to the Security Bureau, managed by his old subordinate, Li Changkun.
The escort ship Lin Tianchen rode was entirely under Li Changkun’s control, with no involvent from others, having only been notified about 20 minutes ago by both Li Xianglong and Li Changkun, the Security Bureau’s transport service center director.
Li Changkun was an SSS-level hacker, and theoretically, no one should have been able to track Lin Tianchen’s movents accurately.
Yet here, mbers of the Longevity Association not only blocked him but deployed special instrunts and Arrays to suppress his awareness.
Through the command station glass, Lin Tianchen could see Li Changkun shrink back, possibly out of fear or guilt.
Around the dock, Lin Tianchen also noticed twenty-four large military-grade Ether Electromagnetic Interference Vehicles, all the latest models.
It was precisely these vehicles that had suppressed Lin Tianchen’s Spiritual Sense and concealed the Ether reaction of the dock area.
His gaze then returned to the white-haired youth, his eyes subtly changing. “White Knight Bruce, I never imagined you’d join the Longevity Association.”
“What’s so surprising about that? I’ve always agreed with the core philosophies of the Longevity Association and the Divine Illumination Association. Since the mont our Divine Light Sky rged with True Spirit, we ceased to be ordinary humans, and our fates have intertwined with Sky Extre Star.”
White Knight Bruce let out a mocking laugh: “Li Xianglong just sent an email to the Security Bureau’s higher-ups, saying that per your request, a special eting is to be held, requiring the attendance of all One-star Marshal-Level personnel and above. Old Lin, what are you trying to do? Are you planning to resign? Or are you attempting to mobilize the Security Bureau’s forces to defend against us, the Longevity Association? But leaving Ninth Base City under Lin Rui’s wing at this mont is sheer folly!”
He clicked his tongue, sneering: “Who could have imagined? The dignified deputy director of the Security Bureau, rumored to have attained the Divine Envoy Level, Lin Tianchen, the Second General, now has to rely on the protection of a re kid to cling to life.”
“Indeed, without Mr. Lin’s protection, I probably would’ve died at your hands days ago.”
Lin Tianchen descended the gangway with an indifferent expression: “Are you recording videos? Is your master watching this livestream?”
He noticed several high-definition caras in the vicinity, capturing his holographic image.
“Indeed!”
White Knight Bruce observed Lin Tianchen approaching and stealthily placed a hand on his sword. “Many are watching, including nurous Longevity Association mbers eager to witness your downfall. In the future, this video will flow into the dark web. Your brutal death will make many reconsider their positions.”
His chin tilted upward with a smirk: “However, our two executives are still willing to give you a chance. Join the Longevity Association now, sign a Tenth Realm Divine Contract, and beco our dog. Not only would we spare your life, but we could even help your True Spirit escape from that Ancient God’s Divine Country. What do you say, Old Lin?”
Lin Tianchen thought to himself that these people actually knew about his True Spirit’s imprisonnt in the Ancient God’s Divine Country, which explained their audaciousness.
He turned his head toward one of the high-definition caras, letting out a cold laugh, with icy killing intent flashing in his eyes: “Watching, are they? Excellent. Just perfect.”
White Knight Bruce’s initial reaction was a brief mont of confusion, followed by sudden, bone-deep dread. An extre sense of crisis sent chills down his spine.
Without hesitation, Bruce drew his sword, unleashing all his Martial Intent and Conceptual Powers to their limits.
Though Bruce couldn’t understand the source of this looming danger, he was certain that striking first was the right decision.
But in the next mont, Bruce distinctly felt his soul and body being sliced, accompanied by a faint “shhh” sound.
Bruce looked at Lin Tianchen with bewildernt and dread.
What had just happened? Had he been dissected? Split apart?
White Knight Bruce saw blood spray from within his body, wondering how Lin Tianchen had struck.
No—that wasn’t it! Lin Tianchen hadn’t even drawn his blade; he had simply used Conceptual Power to disassemble Bruce’s body!
Bruce’s gaze shifted toward the twin weapons floating behind Lin Tianchen, each stretching 12 feet long.
——They appeared to be a pair of falchions, wrapped in Dragon Skin inscribed with countless Runes.
Bruce hadn’t sensed any aura from the falchions earlier and had paid them little attention, rely noting the change in Lin Tianchen’s choice of weaponry.
But just now, Bruce felt the faint aura leaking from the falchions.
It made his soul tremble and his mind reel.
“It’s—Abyss—”
It must be an Abyss Divine Artifact! Lin Tianchen had actually acquired an Abyss Divine Artifact!
And his Bloodline Power appeared to have significantly strengthened! Monts ago, Lin Tianchen had simultaneously activated several spatial and temporal abilities, nearly crushing Bruce in the process!
Yet, before Bruce could finish uttering the word, his body shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions.
Bruce’s body had already been segnted into hundreds of pieces, his survival held together by sheer will alone. Once that will collapsed, his body imdiately disintegrated.
At the exact mont Bruce’s body fragnted, the eighteen Demons nearby, the six Congressman and Quasi-mbers present, even their Battle Dragons—all simultaneously exploded into massive chunks of flesh and pools of blood on the ground.
Lin Tianchen had never even glanced at Bruce once; his gaze remained fixed on the holographic cara.
Only after everyone had perished did Lin Tianchen raise a finger and point toward the cara.
——This was his declaration, a revenge proclamation for the livestream audience!
Clang!
With a piercing sound, all the caras and the nurous Ether Electromagnetic Interference Devices were sliced into fragnts.
Lin Tianchen then directed his gaze toward the command station above the dock.
The only surviving witness remained there—One-star Marshal of the Security Bureau, transport service center director Li Changkun.
He stood behind the glass window, his face pale as a sheet, staring tremblingly at Lin Tianchen.
Lin Tianchen held no particular hatred for Li Changkun and could understand his actions.
The Longevity Association evidently intended to eradicate his subordinates, and Lin Tianchen had been forced to cower in the East Science Institute with no ability to protect his n.
Under such circumstances, Li Changkun’s betrayal to join the Longevity Association was perfectly logical, and Lin Tianchen didn’t bla the man.
But understanding did not equate to forgiveness.
As the Second General of the Security Bureau, forgiveness for any act of betrayal was a dangerous precedent and a source of future calamities.
In the instant Lin Tianchen shifted his gaze away, Li Changkun’s body disintegrated.
Li Changkun’s mind in that mont was consud by infinite regret.
The Second General seed to have recovered—and even experienced an inexplicable boost in power!
That Congressman-Level White Knight, Bruce, had been slain in a single encounter!
Until last evening, he had firmly held his stance.
Why, why—
Lin Tianchen then raised his hand, summoning Bruce’s severed head into his grasp.
He had broken Bruce’s body and soul into hundreds of pieces, but deliberately left the man’s head untouched.
The head of a Congressman-Level figure still served as a potent symbol of intimidation!
※※※※
About two minutes later, Fang Xianzheng was video conferencing as he walked toward his office.
“Deputy Speaker, is there a pressing matter? Regarding Lin Tianchen’s dismissal motion? Hmm~ This is indeed troubleso; Ranran and Linghu Mingde continue to apply pressure, while Li Xianglong remains neutral, so the Security Committee is unlikely to pass it.”
Fang Xianzheng looked slightly resigned: “Ranran is my daughter, but she’s also the leader of the Bright Front and the executive deputy chairman of the Rui Fang Group. You know, she’s rather independent, heavily influenced by her boyfriend—you know the saying, ‘a married daughter is like spilled water!'”
“Ah~ The eleventh and twelfth division heads of the Security Bureau, Deputy Speaker, these positions are public safety matters and cannot be exchanged for personal favors.”
Fang Xianzheng squinted, listening to the new terms offered by the Deputy Speaker, his lips curling upward slightly: “But given the current situation, Lin Tianchen no longer seems capable of fulfilling his role as the Security Bureau’s Second General. Allow to try; I’ll do everything I can to push this forward over the next couple of days.”
He used to have fairly amicable relations with Lin Tianchen; their cooperation over the last decade had been pleasant enough.
Lin Tianchen was also a crucial figure in the Federation Governnt’s balance against Li Xianglong.
But now, Lin Tianchen was clearly on the verge of downfall, and the terms offered by the Deputy Speaker and the forces he represented appeared quite enticing.
It was then that Fang Xianzheng noticed the Deputy Speaker’s expression suddenly change.
The man abruptly ended the call with no further explanation.
Fang Xianzheng was confused but instinctively sensed sothing was amiss.
Could sothing have happened?
He imdiately ssaged the intelligence director of the Sky Blue Group: “Find out if anything occurred today, especially during the last ti segnt.”
Fang Xianzheng had just pushed open the door to his office and stepped inside.
His face turned ashen pale in an instant.
Behind his desk sat a man—none other than Lin Tianchen, Second General of the Security Bureau!
The man lounged in the chair, his piercing cold eyes fixed on Fang Xianzheng.
On the desk lay a blood-soaked head—Fang Xianzheng recognized it instantly. It belonged to White Knight Bruce!
