The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 655: The Crisis of Tianlong

The first to act is the stronger, the one who acts later suffers.

Makoto Nishiu knew that Heimu would not let them go, so he took the opportunity to strike first while Heimu and the Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin were conversing.

If this knife were to stab in, the consequences would certainly be unimaginable.

Makoto Nishiu was agile, and coupled with the element of surprise, even the Ghost Doctor didn’t see it coming. His heart leaped with joy, thinking they might be saved this time.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound, and a dark shadow flashed across the constricting pupils of the Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin.

The scene he had imagined did not occur, but instead, Makoto Nishiu was sent flying backward, crashing hard into a tree as thick as a waist, with dust swirling down.

"Ah? Makoto Nishiu!"

The Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin exclaimed in disbelief, staring at the scene before him.

"Only by killing the Ghost Doctor can we escape..." the lying Makoto Nishiu squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth and, with his injured body, charged again towards Heimu.

"Bang!"

Without knowing how Heimu had struck, Makoto Nishiu’s body was once again flung through the air like a cannonball.

"Crack!"

The tree as thick as a waist actually snapped with a resounding break, and Makoto Nishiu’s body rebounded back, all his bones shattered into dust, dead beyond dead.

"Gah!"

Moriyama Nojin watched in dumbfounded silence. That was a centennial ancient tree as thick as a waist, and it had been split in two by the impact of a man.

Heimu was terrifyingly powerful! At this moment, the Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin’s mind went blank, devoid even of the desire to live.

The Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin nodded slightly and was about to turn his head when an unprecedented shadow crept over his heart, as if his body couldn’t move.

A deep sense of emptiness and dread rapidly gathered, every nerve in his body seemingly paralyzed, and the sound reverberating in his mind was like a meat grinder slicing, causing one’s soul to tremble.

The Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin stood there as if his soul had been drained, leaving only an empty husk behind.

In just a few tens of seconds, which felt like several centuries, negative emotions welled up from the depths of his heart: fear, emptiness, an array of negative emotions assaulting his mental limits.

Thump!

The Ghost Doctor Moriyama Nojin could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground with a thump.

And from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, blood continued to flow. His eyes were wide open like bell clappers, but the life had left him, and in the end, he didn’t even know how he died.

Looking at the lifeless body of Moriyama Nojin, Heimu coldly laughed, "Don’t worry, I’ll bring the Elixir of Life. I want to see what kind of amusing thing it is."

After speaking, Heimu walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving two corpses on the ground.

Soon, rustling sounds emerged from the forests on both sides, and shadows of samurai flickered through, clearly Heimu’s subordinates.

Elsewhere.

"Tianlong, evacuate from the southwest direction! You three come with me to cover Tianlong’s retreat." Oladeepo and his three companions cooperated with each other to carve out a path for Tianlong.

Oladeepo alone could hold off a group, and with three other heavy fire power guys covering, helping Tianlong to leave was no problem.

Tianlong dashed through the jungle like a wild horse that had thrown off its reins.

In the distance, Lin Xiangdong had already disembarked from the communications vehicle, holding binoculars and scouting the situation.

"Still trying to run? I’ve long set a trap for you," Lin Xiangdong sneered, spotting the figure of Tianlong sprinting through his binoculars.

"On my command..." Lin Xiangdong said.

Someone approached from beside him.

"Group five is responsible for clearing the tail! The sniper team covers with fire support! Groups six and seven will outflank and finish them off!" Lin Xiangdong ordered.

"Yes!"

Tianlong was very clever, spreading obstacles as he ran, but no matter how fast he ran he was still within the encirclement.

"Target spotted, Sniper Unit One, get ready!"

"Sniper Unit Two, get ready!"

And at this moment, having finally confirmed the location, the message was relayed back to Lin Xiangdong.

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Xiangdong’s eyes as he spoke coldly, "Carry out the mission! Remember, we need him alive!"

The order couldn’t be clearer: they needed a live capture; no killing allowed.

"Whiz!"

No sooner had Lin Xiangdong finished speaking than a bunch of orange flames shot out from the dense branches in the distance, unexpectedly blasting towards Tianlong who was not far off!

"Swoosh!"

But at this critical juncture, Tianlong managed to roll away, albeit in an extremely awkward posture, evading the lethal shot, although his arm was sprayed with a splash of blood!

Clearly, the bullet had grazed him!

"Eh? How did he dodge that? He’s quite skilled!" Lin Xiangdong expressed his surprise.

"Whiz!"

Before Tianlong could steady himself, another silent burst of orange flame was fired!

"Thud!"

Relying on his instincts, Tianlong sensed the danger. In an instant, something called potential within him was triggered, and his body swung out, but still, the bullet pierced through Tianlong’s calf, raising a curtain of blood!

After rolling, Tianlong dived into the underbrush nearby, and after a few dodges, all sound of him vanished!

He was already quite fortunate, considering he had managed to keep his life in such an unfortunate situation.

"How can he be so formidable?" Lin Xiangdong was completely shocked.

"Bang!"

Lin Xiangdong slammed down the binoculars fiercely, cursing, "She actually escaped!"

"Team Six has located the target, request instructions!" Just as Lin Xiangdong was feeling dismayed, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

Lin Xiangdong’s eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said, "Report your position!"

"Sector C3!"

Lin Xiangdong was now ecstatic, never expecting that Hunter One, which had been sent on a flanking maneuver, would actually encounter Tianlong!

"Team Six, apprehend the wolf’s head at all costs! Sniper units and Team Seven, support in Sector C3!"

Tianlong had never imagined he would be hunted down, especially being caught within the enemy’s encirclement; and now with his right calf virtually pierced through, not to mention escaping, even self-preservation was problematic.

His leg wound severely impaired his movement, and now Tianlong was drenched in cold sweat, his face pale, nearly losing the ability to move!

"Target has fallen into the net! Team Five requesting permission to capture?"

Tianlong’s senses were significantly dulled by his injuries; he couldn’t even discern directions anymore.

Unbeknownst to Tianlong, he had already fallen into the enemy’s pocket formation.

"Close the net!"

Tianlong gradually realized something was off; it was too quiet around him — he had been careless!

"Bang bang bang..." A series of muffled thuds sounded, followed by bursts of orange flame shooting from all directions, instantly weaving a net of fire!

With no other choice, Tianlong had to keep rolling on the ground, but he realized his big mistake: he had fallen into the enemy’s trap, surrounded by a vast open area with nowhere to hide.
