Lin Tian led the King and Xiahou Qingyi to a room, where they each searched for cover to conceal themselves.
Protected by Lin Tian, the King stood behind him, visibly shaken as he spoke. "Thank you for saving my life. Just hold on a bit longer; when the soldiers outside hear the gunfire, they will definitely co in and slaughter the rebels."
"Fire, charge in, kill them all," the Chief of Staff commanded the soldiers.
"Bang, bang, bang...!"
A barrage of bullets rained toward Lin Tian and the others, riddling the once intact room with holes until there was nowhere to show your face.
Lin Tian swiftly condensed a Fireball in one hand and, without a second glance, threw it toward the direction where the gunfire was most intense.
Xiahou Qingyi, following Lin Tian's lead, also conjured a thunderball and fiercely hurled it toward them.
The thunderball and Fireball acted like two bombs, exploding at their center. A dozen people were instantly killed; so were set ablaze and desperately tried to put out the fires, while others were struck by lightning and struggled miserably. In short, the scene was one of utter chaos.
"Attack!" Lin Tian ordered.
Seizing the mont of confusion, everyone popped out and their Flying Daggers shot out one after another. Each dagger struck with deadly precision in a personal soldier's brow, accompanied by screams as they fell, one after another. In the blink of an eye, the ground was littered with bodies, and more than half of the several dozen personal soldiers were casualties.
"The Chief of Staff has turned traitor, protect the King, put down the rebellion."
Hedan, the commander, gathered a force of more than a hundred n, charging madly toward them.
"Reinforcents have arrived, reinforcents are finally here," the King exclaid excitedly.
"Retreat quickly," the Chief of Staff sighed inwardly, realizing things were not going well, and hastily ordered a withdrawal.
Commander Hedan rushed in quickly, locating the King, and urgently inquired, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Imdiately muster the troops, and make sure to annihilate this group of rebels. Also, inform the gate guards that no one is permitted to open the city gates. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without rcy," the King commanded.
"Yes."
Commander Hedan quickly led his n in pursuit.
Lin Tian and his group also fought their way out.
The Chief of Staff, with several dozen n, fought as they fled, but more and more soldiers began to encircle them.
In the end, the Chief of Staff was left with only eight n, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.
The hundreds of soldiers didn't dare to shoot as the Chief of Staff and the remaining eight stood with their backs to a high wall, holding hundreds of hostages. So hostages tried to escape but were executed on the spot by the Chief of Staff's orders. Ten or so hostages who attempted to run were all killed, and the rest dared not try to escape any longer.
The King rushed over in haste, eyeing the bodies of a dozen hostages on the ground, and he roared, "They were the citizens of my country, and you had the heart to kill them. Despite being the Chief of Staff, do you still consider yourself human, doing such things?"
"Every man for himself, heaven and earth will annihilate those who don't look out for themselves. I did this rely to survive; I'd rather betray all under heaven than let all under heaven betray ," the Chief of Staff said, then took out a flare gun and shot it into the sky, signaling the Arican warplanes.
"Make a way," the Chief of Staff shouted.
"You are already a cornered beast; surrender now. Considering your past contributions, I might allow you a complete corpse," the King said, standing in the front with no intention of making way.
The Chief of Staff sneered, pulled out a pistol, and shot a twenty-year-old girl dead.
"Move aside," he said again.
The corners of the King's mouth twitched as he stared at the Chief of Staff with a murderous gaze.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Three more shots rang out as the Chief of Staff killed three more hostages.
"Move aside, or these hostages will die with ," the Chief of Staff said malevolently.
After four innocent citizens were shot dead, the surrounding people were filled with rage, all aiming their guns at the Chief of Staff, wishing they could tear him to shreds. But as the Chief of Staff hid behind the hostages, they were helpless to stop him.
"I'll ask you once again, will you make way or not," the Chief of Staff said, lifting his gun with his finger already on the trigger.
Enraged, the King's eyes turned bloodshot as he barked, "Make way."
Soldiers on both sides cleared a path, and the Chief of Staff slowly walked forward with the hostages.
Soon after, a rumbling sound filled the sky—it was the noise of an airplane.
"It's an Arican warplane, protect the King," Commander Hedan ordered, and dozens of soldiers quickly surrounded the King, pointing their guns skyward.
"Put your guns down."
"Bang, bang!"
The Chief of Staff shouted, firing two more shots, killing another two civilians.
Seeing two more civilians killed, the King was so furious he almost ground his teeth to dust. He commanded, "Put down your guns."
"Your Majesty, they are Arican warplanes. If you put down your guns, your safety…" Commander Hedan tried to persuade him.
"Put down your guns—that's an order," the King reiterated firmly.
Reluctantly following the order, everyone put down their guns, clearly discontent.
In a mont, a warplane approached, but instead of opening fire, it slowly landed beside the Chief of Staff.
The Chief of Staff laughed, "What good does it do to see through my plan or to surround ? In the end, you still have to let leave this place. Today, I'd like to see who can stop ."
After speaking, he leaped onto the warplane, which took off imdiately. The eight n under his command tried to follow him onto the warplane, but the Chief of Staff coldly closed the plane's door on them.
"Damn it, protect the King," Commander Hedan shouted.
Imdiately following, a hail of bullets sprayed out from both sides of the warplane.

"Bang, bang, bang...!"
In an instant, this place beca a slaughterhouse, where soldiers and citizens fought desperately, and under the guns, everyone was equal. In just a dozen seconds, more than two hundred people had been shot dead, blood was everywhere, and the screams were earth-shattering.
Commander Hedan wanted to get the King to a safe place, but the King was truly enraged. He picked up a gun and, without any cover in the center of the courtyard, shot wildly at the Arican warplanes.
But his efforts were futile; the bullets simply couldn't penetrate the armor of the Arican warplanes, and the Chief of Staff was about to escape.
"King, when I see you next ti, I hope you're still alive. Then you can beg , and I'll put in a good word for you in front of the Arican troops, sparing your life, hahahaha...!" The Chief of Staff's presumptuous laughter ca through.
The King did not respond with words, only with angry bullets. The soldiers imitated him en masse, and even the surviving citizens picked up their guns and shot wildly at the Chief of Staff.
"Animal."
"Despicable and shaless."
"Traitor, treasonous scum."
..., ...
Angry curses ca from the crowd.
Lin Tian, standing to one side, watched all this closely. He found the Chief of Staff's actions a million tis more despicable than those of the Aricans. To save his own life, he killed his compatriots without blinking an eye, especially given his position as the second most powerful person in the nation—it was utterly shaless.
Such a person living on this earth was simply a waste of air.
Lin Tian stared at the warplane as it flew away, and said to Wang Ying in a loud voice, "Wang Ying, use your superpower to assist ."
Wang Ying quickly channeled her own ability to amplify Lin Tian's power, and a trendous force surged into his body. His eyes shot out a brilliant light, and his aura beca frighteningly terrifying. At that mont, he was like a primal beast that had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, breaking free from his cage, causing the very sky to change color.
He stomped on the ground, shattering the marble pavent under his feet. Then he activated his Flight Technique, boiling the Ability Source within him, shooting out like a rocket.
Taking off from the ground, everyone except for Commander Hedan was stunned, their mouths agape as if they could swallow a potato.
"Wow, he can fly; is he a bird?"
"He doesn't have wings, how is he flying?"
"He said he was a deity; could he really be the reincarnation of a deity, co to help us?"
"With a deity on our side, we will surely win."
..., ...
Normally, Lin Tian's flight speed would never catch up with a warplane, but with Wang Ying's tenfold speed boost, it was a different story.
His speed now was terrifying, and he could clearly hear the whistling sound of the air tearing apart as he moved. His speed was so fast that the air hitting his clothes caused small rips to appear.
In just a few seconds, he had rushed to within thirty ters behind the warplane, almost catching up.
At that mont, the Chief of Staff spotted Lin Tian and pulled out a gun, cursively saying, "Damn it, it's you who ruined my plans today. I swear I won't rest until I kill you."
"Bang, bang, bang...!"
The constant gunfire echoed in the sky as bullets whistled toward Lin Tian.
"This is bad," Xiahou Qingyi sighed softly, her hands clenched into fists as she worried for Lin Tian.
Lin Tian swiftly dodged most of the bullets, but two of them hit him, one in the left shoulder and one in the right chest.
"Lin Tian."
"Brother Tian."
"Deity."
..., ...
The crowd shouted in alarm, their hearts wrenching as they saw Lin Tian getting shot.
Injured by the bullets, Lin Tian's body plumted downward like a free-falling object, smashing into the ground and then into a two-story building, blocking everyone's view.
"Go, hurry and see," Li Chong shouted.
"The deity didn't just fall and die, did he?"
"Nonsense, how can a deity die from a fall? Would they still be a deity if they died like that?"
"I hope the deity gets up quickly and catches the Chief of Staff to tear him to pieces."
..., ...
Lin Tian quickly took out two bottles of healing potion and drank them down. Then he strained to channel his superpower, and finally, three feet from the ground, he managed to stabilize his falling body.
"Damn you, motherfucker, I won't rest until I take you down today," Lin Tian shouted angrily. He was furious and desperately chased after the warplane once again.
"Look there, the deity has flown up again."
"I told you, a deity wouldn't die from a fall."
"Deity, well done, well done!"
..., ...
Below, the sounds of everyone's praise and admiration echoed.
Seeing Lin Tian flying safe and sound, Xiahou Qingyi and everyone else let go of the worry in their hearts, especially Xiahou Qingyi, who was happier than anyone else.
