Chapter 236 - Emergency (II)
At this moment, the chief of the security bureau, Xie Jimin, walked over quickly. His expression was extremely solemn as he explained, “Consultant Chen, things have gone far beyond our expectations. It’s no longer within the capabilities of the security bureau.
A battle at the peak of the warrior realm could break out at any moment along the coast of Jiangnan province.”
Then, he turned to look at Liu Sujuan. “Quickly bring Consultant Chen back to the helicopter. This emergency mission isn’t considered a failure. We’ll just cancel it.”
As the first consultant to join the 100 members plan, Chen Yiming carried a lot of other responsibilities. Xie Jimin wasn’t willing to let him participate in a life-and-death mission for the time being.
“It seems that Bureau Chief Xie doesn’t have much confidence in me,” Chen Yiming said calmly.
Without waiting for the other party to reply, he drew the peach wood sword from his back.
Xie Jimin was instantly stunned. Liu Sujuan was also dumbfounded. Why was he drawing his sword?
Furthermore, it was a peach wood sword that was used for practice. From the quality of the material, it looked like an item from a roadside stall. It might still be suitable as a decoration, but using a wooden sword to kill mutant beasts was probably just a joke.
At the same time, since a helicopter suddenly arrived at the beach and was personally welcomed by the bureau chief, it attracted the attention of the troops stationed there.
Could it be that a junior at the peak of the warrior realm wanted to recklessly carry out this mission for the reward?
The soldiers also couldn’t understand the point of the wooden sword. Coupled with Chen Yiming’s young face, they couldn’t help but look down on him.
“Watch carefully!”
Chen Yiming reminded them.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed at the cliff that was connected to the beach.
“Consultant Chen, it’s not…”
Xie Jimin was about to explain things when he was shocked into silence by the powerful aura.
A destructive force suddenly spread out in the air. This force could not be seen or touched, but one could still sense its existence.
Immediately after, the space where the cliff was seemed to have been split into two. A huge amount of air was repelled, and a black line appeared.
However, before anyone could understand what had happened, the cliff had already been cut into two, and the top half slid diagonally into the sea. A huge amount of seawater surged up like a small tsunami and rushed onto the beach.
“What!”
Everyone gasped. The cliff by the sea that was no different from a mountain, not just a small, short hill.
The section of the cliff that had been cut off was about a kilometer long. This was unbelievable. It meant that the huge piece of rock that had fallen into the sea was about the size of a meteorite.
The destructive power at the peak of the warrior realm could not compare to this ordinary-looking sword move.
“This is?” Xie Jimin wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked.
“Sword Aura. I learned this while in seclusion not long ago,” Chen Yiming replied simply.
In order to obtain the method to break through to the master realm as soon as possible, he did not hide anything this time and openly displayed his true combat strength.
From now on, he would use Sword Aura for his attacks as himself and internal force attacks as the masked man.
“…”
Xie Jimin did not understand what he was saying. As the head of the security bureau, there was very little he did not know.
However, it was true that there was no information regarding this thing called the Sword Aura, other than in martial arts novels. But even in the novels, the sword aura was not that powerful.
This slash could already cut through half of a small city.
Liu Sujuan’s head hurt and she was about to faint.
Was this the consultant she was in charge of contacting?
Was she dreaming?
Why was the cliff cut in half?
“There’s no problem now, is there?” Chen Yiming asked.
Xie Jimin wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded. “In the problematic space-travel passage in Western Australia, a dragon-shaped creature appeared out of nowhere. It’s temporarily called the radioactive dragon, and his level is equivalent to the peak of the human warrior realm.
The radioactive dragon is a creature that has mutated due to the influence of nuclear waste. Its internal force had the radiation attribute, and it was seen once in the eastern sea of Jiangnan province.”
Hearing this, Chen Yiming recalled the troops he saw stationed along the beach.
The internal force with the radiation attribute was indeed lethal to those at a lower cultivation level. It had a wider range than the poison-based internal force. If this dragon-shaped creature charged into a human city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now that he was hiding in the sea, he was a ticking time bomb. No one knew where and when he would appear.
“I’ll leave the safety of Jiangnan province in your hands,” Xie Jimin said solemnly.
Strength was the most respected in the path of martial arts. Chen Yiming’s sword had undoubtedly proven his strength.
From now on, the head of the security bureau had to treat him with high respect, even though he was very young.
“What about the method to break through to the master realm that you mentioned previously?” Chen Yiming asked without hiding anything.
Xie Jimin’s expression froze, and he almost couldn’t react.
It was not that he was going back on his word, but that he did not expect the ultimate reward of the 100 members plan to be requested so quickly.
“No problem. After this emergency ends, I will immediately ask the three guardians of Jiangnan City,” Xie Jimin said as he rubbed his swollen temples.
As the head of the security bureau, he really could not leave until the crisis of the radioactive dragon was resolved.
Chen Yiming nodded his head.
Although his current contributions were definitely not sufficient, as long as he had the strength, everything could be discussed. At most, he would receive the reward first and slowly repay his debt.
…
Next, Chen Yiming personally entered the eastern sea of Jiangnan province.
With his speed, it would not take him too long to travel around the area. However, he did not find any traces of the radioactive dragon. After all, it was too easy to hide in the vast sea.
After returning to the beach, he instructed bureau chief Xie to inform him as soon as the dragon was spotted. Then, Chen Yiming took a helicopter and temporarily returned to Jiangnan City.
After the helicopter soared into the sky and left, a team of warriors walked over.
They were the second team of the security bureau’s special operations forces. Because the first team had been transferred to Western Australia to gather information, they could only temporarily transfer the second team, who was originally in charge of the border of Jiangnan province, over to this location.
“Bureau Chief, what was with Consultant Chen’s sword move?” a middle-aged man in a military uniform asked uncertainly.
He was the captain of the second special operations team. Previously, he had only heard of consultant Chen, but had never seen him in person. This was the first time he had seen him in person, and all of them were shocked.
“I can’t tell what level that attack belongs to, but it’s stronger than those at the peak of the warrior realm from what I’ve seen.”
Xie Jimin stared at the helicopter disappearing into the distance and sighed.
At this moment, his mood was similar to that of the Mantis Snake School’s inner court head, Zhou Xuesheng. Not long after he recruited him, the other party’s progress climbed quickly into the sky.
The 100 members plan could be said to have achieved dazzling results right from the start.
“Chief, what is our special operations team going to do next?” the middle-aged man in the military uniform asked.
With consultant Chen around, they would not be of much help.
“You can go back first… actually, stay put and wait for orders.”
Xie Jimin thought of Chen Yiming, who had a prior record of suddenly disappearing and changed his mind.
If Chen Yiming went missing again, they would have to rely on themselves to resolve the problem.
…
In the military camp behind the beach, the soldiers were extremely excited. With a single slash of his sword, he could easily destroy this 1,000-strong army.
The appearance of a powerful human like Chen Yiming made the officers heave a sigh of relief. They couldn’t help but join in the lively discussion.
Due to the isolation of the troops from the rest of the world, almost no one recognized Chen Yiming. The soldiers were all guessing who the person who had made the move was.
In addition, this news quickly spread to the troops stationed along the coast of Jiangnan province.
This boosted the military’s morale, and the shadow brought about by the radioactive dragon was immediately dispelled.
After all, the most terrifying thing about the radiation-based internal force was its lethality against those at a lower level. It was not impossible to withstand the radioactive dragon’s attacks for one at the same level.
