HCB Chapter 483 Lan Geng Saves Lives Again
Chapter 483 Lan Geng Saves Lives Again
"The Fifth Army, Lan Gengzhong."
Just as the arrow was about to pierce Jiang He's body, a magical artifact was thrown far in front of Jiang He by Lan Geng.
The magical artifact formed a protective shield, protecting the cultivator and successfully neutralizing Ruiyu's ten arrows.
Ruiyu is at the Void Refinement stage, and the techniques she uses are also at the Void Refinement level.
Although the magical artifact was expensive, it was fragile. After blocking this attack, the artifact instantly disintegrated from the outside in and shattered into powder.
Jiang He raised her eyes, the fragments of the magical artifact clinging to her hair, and her bright red hair ribbon also stained with some powder.
Ruiyu opened her eyes again, and Lan Gengzhong was already in front of her.
The sound of Lan Gengzhong appeared even before the ritual implements.
Lan Geng reiterated his name and then used a magical artifact to block a fatal blow for Jiang He.
If it weren't for the magical artifact, the arrow would have pierced Jiang He's heart long ago.
Thinking of this, Ruiyu gave Lan Gengzhong a cold look.
Ji Xu was slightly surprised when he saw Lan Geng's double shoulder insignia.
A lieutenant general in the Nascent Soul stage.
It seems that Lan Geng has made many military achievements.
This made Ji Xu hesitate.
They had offended the Fifth Army, but Ji Xu didn't want to offend them so thoroughly. Besides, he knew Lan Gengzhong, who was a favorite of the Fifth Army's general. Offending a Nascent Soul cultivator was one thing, but offending a Body Integration stage expert like Yan Xingwen would be quite bad.
If this truly displeases Yan Xingwen and implicates them, the minister will certainly be unhappy.
Besides Ji Xu, Rui Yu also thought the same way.
Ruiyu saw Lan Gengzhong stop him, and although she felt a surge of anger, she suppressed it.
"Lieutenant General Lan."
Without even saying hello, Lan Gengzhong quickly helped Jiang He up.
Her eyes were full of heartache.
Jiang He had four large and small bloody holes on his body, and three of them had arrows stuck in them.
Blood flowed freely from the remaining hole where no arrows were left.
The wound shows absolutely no signs of healing.
Lan Geng glanced at the horrific wound out of the corner of his eye, his gaze pausing slightly.
This was clearly not an ordinary wound.
Lan Gengzhong looked relaxed and composed.
The people from the Department of Extraordinary Observations are truly skilled; cultivators at the Refinement stage are taking turns bullying a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Lan Geng was so angry that he almost stabbed Rui Yu with his sword.
She put her arm around Jiang He and fed her a pill.
"You keep it in your mouth for now."
Changsun Ling breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lan Gengzhong again.
Fortunately, Captain Lan arrived in time, and Jiang He almost died at Rui Yu's hands.
Anyone would be angry in this situation.
They're only causing trouble on the Fifth Army's territory because their teammates are fighting monsters.
Changsun Ling's eyes were red:
"Team Leader Lan, you've finally arrived."
The other cultivators, upon seeing Lan Gengzhong, also greeted him through the transparent barrier, their faces filled with indignation.
"Team Leader Lan!"
"Captain Lan, the cultivators from the Extraordinary Observation Department are going too far!"
"Team Leader Lan, you have to stand up for us and Jiang He. These people are just relying on their high cultivation levels."
"That's right, thank goodness you came. I was almost scared to death. They really don't care about human life. They even called Captain Wen. He's also at the Void Refinement stage. He's more than capable of taking down Ruiyu."
"That's right!"
……
The soldiers of the Fifth Army showed no regard for Ruiyu's feelings and vented their anger in front of everyone from the Yicha Division.
Lan Gengzhong was utterly speechless.
Why didn't the Surveillance Department stay within the Empire? They came to their Black Nest to capture them.
Lan Geng glanced at Rui Yu with renewed vigilance.
She felt a pang of anxiety when she thought about the reputation of the Bureau of Surveillance.
The scene unfolding now seems eerily familiar.
Lan Geng thought and thought, and finally thought of someone.
Gongsun Xu of the Gongsun family.
It seems that Gongsun Xu was taken away by the Yicha Department for a trivial reason back then, and never came out again.
The Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations arrested Gongsun Xu, the most talented cultivator in the Gongsun family, with flimsy evidence.
At that time, the Gongsun family was striving to become a Heavenly Rank family.
She didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on in the fact that the Department of Extraordinary Observations was founded with the help of the Heavenly Rank Family.
Gongsun Xu is the next head of the Gongsun family. He established his foundation at the age of ten, reached the Nascent Soul stage at fifteen, and was at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage at eighteen. He was just one step away from entering the Divine Transformation stage.
Lan Geng had met such a young man once before.
Lan Gengzhong saw the news about Gongsun Xu being taken away on Xingbo. As soon as she finished reading it, the Yicha Department blocked all the leaked videos and text information.
It is said that Gongsun Xu was taken away by the Yicha tribe with forceful means. Lan Gengzhong remembers that the scene in the video is not much different from the present.
When Lan Geng learned of Gongsun Xu's whereabouts again, it was news of his death in the Yicha tribe.
Lan Geng learned of this news after he rejoined the Fifth Army.
The fact that a cultivator as gifted as Gongsun Xu was wasted and died by the Yicha Department is truly incomprehensible; if it wasn't deliberately targeting the Gongsun family, she really couldn't find any other reason.
Moreover, Lan Gengzhong believed in the idea of souls from other worlds possessing other people's bodies, but she also knew that even if there were humans in other worlds, it was impossible for every human to be so intelligent and resourceful as to frequently achieve the plot of successfully possessing another's body.
In Lan Gengzhong's view, there are such people, but not many, certainly not as many as the number of cultivators captured by the Extraordinary Observation Department every year.
The actions of the Yicha tribe were rampant. Only after Lan Geng had carefully protected Jiang He did he stand up and confront Rui Yu.
"Withdraw from Black Nest within ten minutes, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Black Nest is within the territory of the Fifth Army. Without some skills, Lan Gengzhong shouldn't be a lieutenant general.
Lan Geng regained absolute control of the base. After she finished speaking, a missile was launched from inside the base to the right front.
The missile's destructive power was immense, and Ruiyu's expression quickly changed.
Lan Gengzhong actually had control of the base.
Rui Yu's face darkened. He had long harbored murderous intent towards Jiang He. If he couldn't take Jiang He away, he was determined to kill her.
The distinct controller that Ke Langeng held in his hand.
While the missile's power wasn't enough to kill him, it could severely injure Ruiyu.
Ruiyu hesitated.
His personal terminal flashed, and he clicked to enter. It was a message from a family elder:
Kill Jiang He, and someone will cover for you.
Ruiyu smiled slightly after reading the message.
He is quick-witted.
Even if Lan Gengzhong has control of the base, what good will it do? If a missile is launched, none of them here will be able to have an easy time.
Ruiyu realized that Lan Gengzhong was just threatening him; if he wanted to release him, he would have done so long ago.
Ruiyu smiled and nocked an arrow.
The arrow was fired at Lan Geng.
The unique power belonging to the Void Refinement stage caused the arrow to strike Lan Geng's heavy arm.
The controller was also transferred to Ruiyu's front using magic.
Without further hesitation, Ruiyu fired ten arrows at Lan Geng.
Ji Xu was startled by Rui Yu's actions; his eyes widened.
"Ruiyu, you..."
"Since we've already offended the Fifth Army, we might as well go all the way. You either stand on my side or stay out of it."
Ruiyu glanced at Ji Xu.
An arrow flew toward Lan Gengzhong. Lan Gengzhong was unable to dodge in time, and the arrow pierced his wrist. Excruciating pain instantly overwhelmed his five senses.
