The conference hall instantly plunged into chaos, with the kidnapped girls panicking, screaming, and scattering in all directions, hiding behind pillars and tables.
The rcenaries in the hall raised their guns and fired at Lu Heng.
The mont the bullets left the chambers, Lu Heng activated his "Bullet Ti" skill, and everything around him instantly slowed down.
Lu Heng charged forward, weaving through the bullets, unleashing the Step Sword Seven Styles in rapid succession, and with each flash of the sword, a rcenary's life was taken.
In just over a dozen seconds, the thirty-odd rcenaries in the hall had been cleanly killed.
As a gunfight erupted at the party, the entire Thas Base was awakened, and two teams of rcenaries rushed out, fully ard and headed straight for the ballroom.
Just as they were a hundred ters from the ballroom, a loud cry rang out in the sky, and a gust of Solar Wind descended from the heavens, instantly engulfing the group of rcenaries.
More than twenty rcenaries were instantly turned to char in the Solar Wind.
A few rcenaries who had Defense Skills barely withstood the first wave of the Solar Wind's heat, but they couldn't endure the subsequent continuous high temperatures.
These few rcenaries scread as they rushed out of the Solar Wind's range, collapsing to the ground with their bodies scorched, evidently not long for this world.
Two of them still wanted to fight back before dying; Su Muyu raised her crossbow and killed them with two shots.
...
Inside the ballroom.
After Lu Heng had cleared out the rcenaries, he glanced at the girls and shouted loudly, "Aren't you leaving?"
Only then did the girls snap out of it and hurriedly ran outside.
In the end, only Willie Bird remained hidden under a long table.
A tablecloth was spread on the table, falling to the ground, so from the outside, he was completely invisible beneath the table.
He had been hit by an arrow in the back and was seriously injured, but being Level 24, as long as he could escape alive, the injury wouldn't be fatal.
He had originally wanted to fight back, but just as he pulled out his assault rifle, he saw most of his rcenary colleagues cut down.
He imdiately realized he was up against a Peak Superpower User and quickly crawled under the table, hoping to escape disaster.
Sadly, one of Lu Heng's goals in attacking Thas Base was him.
As he trembled in fear, a sword extended from outside the tablecloth, resting on his neck.
Willie Bird imdiately showed a look of despair on his face and pleaded, "No! Don't kill , you can have anything you want, I know the storeroom code for the base, there's a lot of Crystal Cores in there."
"Willie Bird, right?" Lu Heng read his na.
"Yes... I am... no, I'm not Willie Bird," he realized that this Da Xia man might have co to investigate the case, so he imdiately denied it.
Lu Heng pulled out a photo, placed it beside his head, and compared it, "Do you think I'm blind?"
Willie Bird imdiately knelt and begged for rcy, "Spare , I'll do anything you want."
Lu Heng asked coldly, "What did you do in Da Xia three days ago, on August 27th?"
Willie Bird's pupils suddenly dilated, because August 27th was the date he carried out an assassination mission.
"It was a task sent from above, not my intention. I'm just earning money by performing tasks, please spare , I can tell you who ordered it," Willie Bird tried to dissociate himself.
"No need, after I kill you, I will naturally go find him," Lu Heng raised his sword, and in his terrified gaze, he chopped down, severing his right hand.
"Ah!" Willie Bird let out a mournful scream, clutching the wound on his right hand with his left, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.
Lu Heng had cut off his right hand, raised his sword again, and with another slash, his left hand was also cut off.
Then, both legs were cut off, and he was turned into a human stump.
Afterward, Lu Heng pulled out a card and passed it over, "Bite this."
Willie Bird, having had his limbs cut off, but even more afraid of dying, hastily bit down on the card.
Lu Heng continued, "Tell your superior, I'm waiting for him."
With that, Lu Heng turned and left, exiting Thas Base with Su Muyu.
...
This matter was not over; rely leveling a base wouldn't stop the Round Table Knight rcenary Organization from targeting the Da Xia Quenching Masters for assassination.
To permanently resolve this issue, the targets had to be the few strongest Superpower Users in the Round Table Knights rcenary Corps.
So, after Lu Heng turned Willie Bird into a human stump, he left a clue behind.
It remained to be seen whether the Round Table Knights would dare to co looking for him.
Before leaving Thas Base, Lu Heng cleaved open the storeroom, took the Crystal Cores within, t up with his teammates, and returned to the river cruise, continuing their tour along the river.
...
The attack on Thas Base left nurous casualties among the Round Table Knight rcenaries stationed there.
This incident imdiately alerted the bigwigs in the Round Table Knight Organization.
When the Shadow Knight Modred from the Round Table Knights rcenary Corps arrived at Thas Base, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.
The entire ballroom had turned into a carnage ground.
Even though Modred was cruel himself, he was sowhat unsettled by such a grisly scene.
Not all the rcenaries in the ballroom were dead; one had been left alive.
A rcenary who had been turned into a human stump was wriggling in the pool of blood like a maggot.
Modred didn't recognize this mutilated wretch. There were so many subordinates in the Round Table Knights, he had no interest in knowing each one.
Willie Bird, seeing the appearance of the strongest of the Round Table Knights, saw a glimr of hope for life, spat out the card, and with his last strength, cried out, "Save ! Save !"
