199. Chapter 199: Operation Begins

At this moment, in a building at the gathering point, Yang Yi Long stood in the darkness. His right arm flickered with miraculous light. This light gathered in one place, forming an invisible treasure sword. This sword was sharp and could easily cut everything.

And in front of him, a walking corpse was broken into two halves, lying on the ground motionless.

The mission hadn't started yet, but Yang Yi Long had already taken action. He determined whether his means were effective by killing a walking corpse.

However, the good news was that the walking corpse cut into two sections not only had its body broken, but the fierce ghost possessing it was also killed, which made Yang Yi Long full of confidence at this moment, feeling that he could completely take a spot from the Investigation Bureau, thereby avoiding competition with Li Shaoqing.

"I just saw Lin Yue. She and Li Yi don't intend to withdraw from this mission."

Suddenly.

A figure leaped into the building. In the darkness, a pair of green vertical pupils appeared, and then Qin Qing's voice sounded.

"An expected thing. That Li Yi doesn't know where he practiced, but he has an invincible aura on him. Even when facing a strong enemy, it's impossible for him to retreat. He even dared to fight me in the Waste District before, let alone here. Since that's the case, I can only find an opportunity to avoid surveillance and finish him off instantly, avoiding long nights and many dreams."

Yang Yi Long withdrew his gaze from the walking corpse on the ground and then looked at Qin Qing: "You just need to hold off Lin Yue. After this matter is over, I will leave Tianchang City and focus on dealing with crossing dimensions. If everything goes smoothly, before the next Sky Tilt incident arrives, we should be able to safely withdraw from this world."

"I hope everything goes smoothly." Qin Qing said.

"It will be smooth. Let's go out and see." Yang Yi Long said.

At the same time.

Li Yi and the others were also ready at this moment, just waiting for the time to start taking action. Of course, other cultivators were also eager to try. They wanted to show themselves in this mission, strive to take a Mystic Object cultivation room, and if they were lucky, they might also become cross-dimensional travelers.

The Investigation Bureau's rewards were too high, which made many people willing to take the risk to go on this trip.

"Li Yi, Yang Yi Long appeared, right over there." Lin Yue pointed to an empty building not far away at this moment.

Li Yi glanced at it and indeed saw that familiar figure. He said: "Yuan Mingjin, can your sniper rifle hit this guy's crotch from this distance and blow up his brothers?"

"Stop joking, I can't hit such a small target." Yuan Mingjin said.

"Then forget it." Li Yi shook his head, feeling a bit of a pity.

Lin Yue said: "Li Yi, stop messing around. I just took a look at Yang Yi Long's small team. It's truly outrageous. A team of five people, all Spirit Perception experts. Besides Li Shaoqing, the Vice President of the Cultivator Association, no one in Tianchang City can match this personnel configuration. This guy probably is determined to get the Golden Academy spot."

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a headache, feeling that she still underestimated the strength of Yang Yi Long's side.

"What are you afraid of? If we can kill Yang Yi Long, others won't pose a threat. If we can't kill him, it doesn't matter if there are a few more experts or a few less." Li Yi, however, was not afraid and just smiled.

"You have a really good mentality."

Lin Yue rolled her eyes: "Those are five Spirit Perception Realm cultivators. Under joint efforts, no one in Tianchang City will be a match. We are simply not worth mentioning in front of them. But fortunately, we are people of the Investigation Bureau. If Yang Yi Long wants to take action, he probably won't involve others. The only thing to pay attention to is Qin Qing."

Li Yi said immediately: "Alright, Sister Lin, don't boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige. Although their strength is strong, we are not weak either. Let's put our attention on this mission first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

He still had confidence and a bottom line at this moment.

Because Li Yi's Qi and blood in his body had already accumulated enough for three meridians. If the other side really wanted to take action, he would just forcibly break through and directly become a Meridian Cultivation martial artist.

However, Lin Yue didn't know Li Yi's trump card and backhand, so she was always a bit worried.

"Li Yi, the time is up, the mission is about to start." Suddenly, Zheng Gong spoke.

Subsequently.

A sharp alarm sounded over the gathering point.

This was the signal for the operation to start.

As soon as the signal appeared, cultivator teams immediately took action. They rushed into the Old City District along the planned route and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Action. Try to complete the mission as quickly as possible, maybe we can still compete for the cross-dimensional traveler spot."

"Kill in. There are many walking corpses in the Old City District, everyone be careful."

"Pay attention to the surroundings, pay attention to using eye-witnessing, don't be possessed by fierce ghosts."

One voice after another echoed in the surroundings, but these people disappeared quickly. Soon, only a burst of fierce fighting sounds came from the nearby buildings. Obviously, some teams ran into walking corpses directly and had to start fighting immediately.

And it wasn't hard to see from these people's words that many teams of cultivators actually made preparations and weren't brainlessly participating in this mission.

"Time to take action. Groping forward slowly from here, don't be eager for quick success. Check the buildings one by one. This mission can't be finished in a short time. According to my estimation, it will take at least a night of fierce fighting, or even a day, to finish." Li Yi said in a deep voice. Then he held the phantom Hanging Man Spear and rushed out first.

Lin Yue didn't say a word and walked side by side with Li Yi. According to the previous plan, the two of them opened the way in front, while Zheng Gong and Yuan Mingjin, who held sniper rifles, followed behind, and Fang Hang and Cheng Pingfang were vigilant on the left and right.

Soon.

They entered a building in the Old City District.

At this moment, Lin Yue's Spirit Perception sensed the danger in the building.

"Third floor, this direction." She whispered, then pointed with her hand.

Bang!

The next moment, Yuan Mingjin fired. A shot penetrated the wall, shattered the concrete, and then a flash of fire appeared in the dark building. Immediately after, a walking corpse hiding in the building was instantly hit, and its body was blown into pieces, emitting a thick corpse stench.

The fierce ghost possessing it turned and pounced towards Yuan Mingjin's direction.

Li Yi brandished the Hanging Man Spear in his hand. With just one strike, the fierce ghost was shattered on the spot and dissipated completely.

"An ordinary walking corpse, the threat is not great." Then, he glanced: "Continue to advance."

However, there weren't many walking corpses hiding in the outer buildings. In a short while, a building was cleaned up, and then they continued to go deep into the Old City District. However, as they went deeper, the number of walking corpses also began to increase. But fortunately, it wasn't just Li Yi's team in this operation; many cultivators were acting together.

This led to the pressure being shared, and the difficulty of the mission dropped linearly.

The truth that there is strength in numbers was manifested at this moment.

And this was also what the Investigation Bureau hoped to see.

After all, if it relied on a single team, it would be very easy to be surrounded and killed by a group of walking corpses, but now this situation wouldn't appear.

Accompanied by the gradual increase in the number of walking corpses killed, everyone in Li Yi's team gradually gained confidence. The firepower of two sniper rifles, plus the guidance of Spirit Perception experts, and Li Yi's means of easily killing fierce ghosts, these cooperations led to their operation being exceptionally efficient.

Although it was steady and steady, the speed of advancement was not slow at all.

As building after building was cleaned up, everything was progressing in a good direction. It seemed that as long as it continued like this, the mission could be successfully completed within a night.

"Be careful."

Just as they had just walked out of a building, suddenly, a ghost-like figure flashed over, its speed fast to an incredible degree.

Spirit Perception-level withered corpse?

Lin Yue's figure was also fast to an outrageous degree, arriving after the fact. She delivered a punch, accompanied by the explosion of fist energy, and under the outbreak of power, she directly forced back the attacking withered corpse.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Zheng Gong and Yuan Mingjin fired together.

The withered corpse seemed to have detected the danger and dodged a bullet directly, but it still took a shot on the shoulder of its body. A withered arm was blown to pieces directly, and then the body lost its balance and fell to the ground with a stagger.

And at this moment, Li Yi killed over with the Hanging Man Spear. Before the withered corpse could get up, his spear had already stabbed out, accurately and fiercely piercing the withered corpse's head.

Ah!

A shrill, strange scream echoed.

The fierce ghost possessing the withered corpse's body suffered heavy damage and struggled to break away from this already damaged body, wanting to escape, but after being stabbed by the Hanging Man Spear, it couldn't escape at all. Finally, it could only dissipate into smoke with strong resentment.

"Not bad, the cooperation is very good." Lin Yue laughed.

"My shot missed." Zheng Gong said with some regret.

Yuan Mingjin said: "To deal with Spirit Perception-level withered corpses, you need to bring some prediction. This thing's speed is too fast. Without prediction, you can't hit it at all. However, you grasped the timing very well. You fired the moment Lin Yue forced back the opponent. This is correct, because at that time, the opponent is the most difficult to adjust its posture, and the probability of hitting is the highest. Zheng Gong, don't be anxious, take your time."

"Okay, I know." Zheng Gong nodded and quickly adjusted his state.

"From here on, we can't be careless. Spirit Perception-level withered corpses have already appeared. Going further, I estimate we will encounter more." Li Yi said in a deep voice.

His Hanging Man Spear is the nemesis of ghosts; otherwise, a Spirit Perception-level withered corpse wouldn't be so easy to kill.

Just when several people were communicating briefly, several screams rang out in the nearby Old City District. This sound was clearly not the sound of ghosts, but the sound of living people.

"This is cultivators being killed..." Everyone's expression flickered, and they looked in the direction the sound came from.

I don't know which team of cultivators was unlucky, encountered powerful walking corpses, and met with misfortune.

"Now is not the time to care about others. We must continue the operation."

Li Yi didn't pay too much attention, but chose to continue moving forward. Now all teams are actually in a competitive relationship. I guess some people wish other teams would suffer setbacks.
