324: 324.
Close Combat 324: 324.
Close Combat Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, flying at a speed of about 900 kiloters per hour, were expected to arrive in 20 minutes.
Lu Li was still unaware that he was traveling along the famous Pennsylvania Avenue, heading towards the White Mansion.
Only by leveling this symbol of the Star Alliance Country would his mission be considered perfectly fulfilled.
But things were not that easy!
First, the 82nd Airborne Division parachuted into the city to reinforce the urban defense forces.
Ordinarily, re mortals shouldn’t have any impact, but the Star Alliance Country’s military suddenly changed tactics!
Soldiers kept popping up on the rooftops around, shooting from windows.
Bullets whistled through the air, occasionally striking the Earth Stone Dragons and throwing up sparks.
They were just sniping and harassing from a distant flank, careful to not get too close.
Even the fighter jets in the sky did the sa, firing a round of missiles before turning and leaving.
Flying Swords imdiately soared to intercept, but they were only slightly faster than the jets, taking quite a while to shoot them down.
Repeated interferences noticeably slowed down Lu Li’s progress.
He imdiately understood the enemy’s intentions, “They’re trying to tie down.”
The Star Alliance Country was just caught off guard, but if they could hold out, troops from various states would keep arriving, and Lu Li could be worn down just by attrition.
At that mont, an airborne troop squad seized the rooftop of the National Art Museum and fired at Lu Li with a recoilless gun.
Soldiers from other directions also opened fire to harass him.
While the Flying Swords in the sky dealt with the more threatening fighter jets and had no ti to attend to them, it was left to the Earth Stone Dragons to block the incoming bombardnt and bullets.
Made of mud, they were quickly shot to pieces, riddled with gaping holes, forcing Lu Li to expend his spirit to repair them.
Seeing this, the soldiers’ morale soared!
Many civilians also cheered loudly!
On the rooftops of distant high-rises and on ships in the Potomac River, crowds of civilians gathered to watch the fight.
That bearded broadcaster, “Bourne,” was also there, broadcasting live with his equipnt.
At this mont, countless people holding their phones cursed Lu Li, hoping he would die soon.
Lu Li glanced around and calmly ordered the Puppets:
“Pair up and eradicate those rats, leave the ones right in front of to myself.”
Sixteen Puppets imdiately dropped to the ground and scurried in all directions like geckos, finding the most effective way to move and instantly appearing in front of the enemies at a speed of 200 kiloters per hour.
“Die, monster!”
The soldiers had no chance to escape and could only desperately pick up their weapons and fire wildly.
Small arms could only scratch the Puppets’ surfaces, and after a few shots, the soldiers were impaled through the chest by the tal Hands.
The squad at the top of the National Art Museum watched helplessly as “Puppet Number 0” dug its fingers into the wall and rapidly climbed up.
The rooftop was filled with gunshots, but after a few short screams and the sound of bones breaking, silence fell again.
The Puppets created efficient and bloody carnage, but the Star Alliance’s on-site commander’s face lit up with joy as he yelled into his radio:
“The Superpower Terrorist has sent out all his minions, kill him now!!”
Since entering the scene, Lu Li’s offense and defense had been facilitated by external sources, and he himself had yet to make a move.
This created an illusion that he seed like a “backline mage,” apparently not difficult to kill.
The Star Alliance soldiers thought the sa, quickly closing in and firing wildly at Lu Li.
Even the remaining two tanks rushed in, determined to take down the Superpower Terrorist.
Unexpectedly, Lu Li powered his legs, shattering the ground beneath him, and with a roar, he charged into the crowd!
Due to his previous leg injury, he subconsciously avoided close combat.
But reluctance did not an inability.
In fact, a Martial Artist’s muscle strength was the most reliable source of power!
Lu Li burst into the crowd and instantly sent two soldiers flying dozens of ters away.
Then, with a swing of his arms, he lashed out like a whip, and with two booming explosions, two soldiers were hamred, spewing blood as they were flung away.
The remaining soldiers scread as they raised their guns and fired, but the bullets that hit Lu Li could only scratch his skin, leaving white marks before being repelled.
Lu Li burst out with a speed of 50 ters per second, turning into a black shadow that whooshed and leapt, scattering the soldiers in a spray of gore.
One of the soldiers wielded a fla sprayer, directing a 30-ter-long fire dragon at Lu Li.
Lu Li raised his hand and waved, his spirit surged out, wrapping around the fire dragon and rolling it backward, igniting the soldier and his three companions into flaming figures.
Their agonizing screams caused the remaining enemies to collapse in an instant, scattering in all directions.
It wasn’t until then that the two tanks arrived late, aiming their barrels in his direction.
Lu Li calmly raised his hands, and with a flick of his two indexes, he shot out two “Shangyang Swords.”
Limited by his cultivation, the power of the “Six ridian Divine Sword” was only slightly greater than that of a heavy machine gun, which, in theory, shouldn’t have hard the tanks.
But the two faint blue light swords nimbly adjusted their angles, drilling precisely into the barrels of the tanks!
The violent collision ignited the bombs inside, and almost simultaneously, two loud blasts erupted, blowing the turrets of both tanks to pieces, turning them into blazing torches.
Just as the flying swords ca down to recharge from their master, Lu Li stood amidst the rolling flas and billowing smoke, lightly brushing past them.
With a click, the bearded anchor “Bourne” pressed the shutter, capturing the scene.
anwhile, in his live broadcast room, countless people were discussing:
[Isn’t this monster supposed to be crippled?
How can he make such exaggerated movents?]
[His moves…they seem like so kind of fighting technique.]
[It’s “whip punch,” but I’m more curious, what is that blue light he produced?]
[Doesn’t anyone care that the White Mansion is about to fall?]
…
At this mont, Lu Li had already arrived at the White Mansion Square; the classical-style white building was right before his eyes.
But many ard civilians were blocking the way.
They shouted in unison:
“You butcher!
Demon!
You will not destroy the symbol of our great nation!”
“We will not allow you to succeed!”
n and won, young and old, truly civilians were all present.
However, there wasn’t a single soldier in sight, and in fact, the military forces from the entire area were gone…
Lu Li realized sothing was amiss and ntally communicated with his flying swords to be on alert.
The civilians, seeing that Lu Li had not moved, beca even more emboldened, loudly hollering and herding.
It was at this ti that Lu Li suddenly turned his head, looking to the south.
10 kiloters away, five cruise missiles flew by at an ultra-low altitude of 15 ters off the ground!
Flying so low, and with buildings offering cover, they would have been tough to spot if not for the flying swords maintaining an aerial alert.
Lu Li imdiately initiated Divine Soul Ergence and t them head-on!
Upon closer inspection, these missiles were enormous, at least 6 ters long.
Not daring to delay, Lu Li quickly extended his spirit, burning out the first missile’s electronic components, then flicked it toward a dense cluster of high-rise buildings.
With a booming explosion, the National Conference Center Hotel, on the banks of the Potomac River, was instantly reduced to rubble.
“It’s not a nuclear bomb!”
Though the explosion was massive, it wasn’t a nuclear warhead.
Lu Li was certain of this and imdiately intercepted the second missile, directing it into the “National Art Museum” that was hit before.
Just as he was about to continue, the remaining three missiles suddenly changed direction, heading for the Puppets!
Cruise missiles could be controlled from a distance, and seeing that those near Lu Li malfunctioned, the plan was to eliminate his subordinates.
The Puppets had just crushed the armies from various directions and were converging towards their master when three missiles were fired at them.
The missiles flew towards three different directions; Lu Li only had ti to intercept one while the fate of the other two was left to the Puppets themselves.
