The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Courting Death

Soon, a series of gunshots rang out in the empty port, as intense as a battle between two nations.

In reality, the battle was indeed brutal, but of course, it was brutal for the people of Sakula Country.

None of them had fatal wounds, but at least one leg or arm of each of them had been shot through.

Just as they raised their long knives above their heads, pointing to the sky, they all clattered to the ground.

Even they themselves were all injured, their blood flowing from their bodies to the ground.

The blood quickly pooled together, filling the air with a pungent smell of blood.

Members of the Security Management Institute surrounded them from afar, capturing them all alive! They didn’t even have a chance for seppuku.

Xiaogang hid in a shipping container, watching the scene through a gap in the door, sweat pouring down his body, soaking his clothes.

Then, he simply sat down, leaning against the container, gasping for breath, as if barely surviving a calamity.

Suddenly, Xiaogang heard a loud ”bang” from above the container, almost scaring the life out of him.

He shuddered and looked up to see a series of sparks.

Then, a person jumped down from above and stood in front of Xiaogang.

This scene shocked Xiaogang so much that it felt like the person before him was a grim reaper, not a human!

There was no light inside the container, so Xiaogang couldn’t see the person’s face clearly and didn’t recognize who it was.

Suddenly, Xiaogang noticed his eyes. They were phoenix-like, narrow and long, with a sharpness as if they held two blades.

Xiaogang was all too familiar with that look.

”You... Lin Tian!” Xiaogang pointed at the newcomer with a trembling hand.

”Haha, we meet again. But this time, you can’t escape,” Lin Tian said with a smile.

When Xiaogang was hiding earlier, others didn’t notice, but Lin Tian did, as his eyes had always been locked on this guy.

”Is that so?”

After Xiaogang composed himself, he put his hand to his waist, pulled out a pistol, and deliberately released the safety with a sound for Lin Tian to hear.

”Now I have a gun in my hand, and if I’m going to die, I’ll take you with me. How about we make a deal? You let me go, and I’ll spare your pathetic life.”

Xiaogang clearly lacked confidence, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Lin Tian smiled faintly and walked toward him, saying, ”I don’t make deals with beasts.”

”Stop right there! If you take another step, I’ll shoot!”

Xiaogang gripped the pistol with both hands, aiming forward, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Tian nonchalantly took a step closer, and Xiaogang didn’t fire but instead stepped back.

Lin Tian took another step forward, and Xiaogang stepped back again, this time pressing his back against the container with nowhere else to go.

He didn’t want to fire because he was afraid. Without a silencer, firing the gun would truly mean he couldn’t escape!

Lin Tian took yet another step forward. Xiaogang clenched his jaw and said with a distorted voice, ”You forced me!”

Bam bam bam...

Seven shots in total; he emptied the magazine in one go.

He couldn’t really see what was inside the container, just a blurred silhouette, but that was enough. With so many shots, how could a person still survive?

However, Lin Tian’s figure didn’t fall for a long time. Soon, Xiaogang realized something was wrong; not a drop of blood was spilling from this guy!

”Seeking your own death,” Lin Tian’s icy voice reached his ears, making Xiaogang shiver again. This guy... really was unharmed.

Bam!

The gunfire drew the Security Management Institute members from outside, and someone kicked open the container door.

Dozens of beams of light shone in, with dozens of gun barrels aimed at Xiaogang.

”Inside, hands on your head! Come out slowly!” called out a voice.

Only then did Xiaogang see that Lin Tian was unscathed, not even his clothes were damaged. It suddenly dawned on him; the guy was wearing a bulletproof vest! No wonder he was so fearless!

”You’ve won again!” Xiaogang instantly seemed to age several decades, his expression vacant as he spoke, placing his hands on his head and turning to walk out of the container.

”Why make it hard on yourself? Staying by Shishi’s side honestly would have been so much better, right? Instead, you’ve come to this end.”

Xiaogang turned back in anger, roaring furiously, ”Shishi is not someone you can call!”

Lin Tian said nothing. Meng, holding a gun, kicked him hard in the buttocks and yelled, ”Get moving, less talk!”

Xiaogang glared at Lin Tian with bitterness before leaving unwillingly.

More than anger, his emotion was one of unwillingness.

Why did this kid win Bai Shishi’s favor? Why didn’t the explosion at Yongxing Bridge kill him last time?

Why was he here? And why were the Security Management Institute members here too?

Why does he disrupt my plan every single time?!

Today’s mission was perfectly completed, all involved individuals captured.

These people held great value; besides providing testimony, they could be handed over to the Outer Protection Bureau, posing some threat to Sakula Country.

Liejiao and Jiang Huaisi interrogated the Sakula Country individuals overnight, hoping to uncover more leads. After all, with so many viruses involved, negligence couldn’t be afforded.

As for the viruses, all were transported by helicopter with an experienced pilot and four other Security Management Institute members to a research facility in Kanyue City, where a remedy needed to be created urgently. Otherwise, if such things appeared again on Celestial Dragon Continent, they should not be caught off guard.

The rest of the team arrived at a rest stop in Jin City.

Each member of the Security Management Institute is a valuable national talent, all possessing remarkable skills, which is why they hold such high status.

Therefore, the Security Management Institute provides excellent treatment. For example, this rest spot is a four-star hotel.

After returning to his room, Lin Tian took a hot shower and changed into fresh clothes, then sat cross-legged on the bed.

As the ”Tyrant Emperor’s Record” operated, spiritual Qi flowed from the Sea of Qi through his meridians to every part of his body.

Nourishing every inch of his skin and cell, his tired body quickly filled with vitality, akin to a feast after extreme hunger.

He had already unblocked half of the acupoints in the fifth of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the ’Chong Meridian,’ and now the gathering of spiritual Qi was noticeably faster, greatly accelerating his cultivation efficiency.

The spiritual Qi circulated within his body for two Great Cycles. Just as Lin Tian intended to continue impacting the ’Chong Meridian,’ suddenly, someone knocked on the room door.
