Chapter 789: Chapter 387: Eve of the Storm
"What do you think you’re doing? This is Galaxy Group Headquarters!" a guard cried in alarm, his voice cracking.
"What do we want?" Li Chang’an’s eyes were ice-cold as he shot back. "We’re here for someone!"
"If you don’t release him, we’ll force our way in," he added, his tone leaving no room for argument.
The security captain blustered, screaming the order, "Go! Get them!"
The security guards swarmed forward.
The security captain led the charge.
Li Chang’an moved.
The Saw Chain Sword erupted with a piercing WHIR, slicing through the air to meet the security captain.
Shen Qiuyue, Sun Yang, and Han Ruoxi drew their weapons at almost the same instant.
The battle ignited in an instant.
In front of the Galaxy Group Headquarters, flashes of light erupted and battle cries thundered.
Every strike from Li Chang’an’s Saw Chain Sword carried immense force, heavy beyond measure.
The guards were completely unable to resist, crumbling on contact and flying backward like rag dolls.
Shen Qiuyue’s Dueling Sword was light and elegant, its blade flashing like lightning. Every thrust was aimed precisely at her enemies’ vitals.
Each strike was a killing blow, clean and efficient.
Sun Yang’s Pulse Gun roared, spitting out beams of energy with astonishing power.
Any guard hit head-on was instantly blasted away, reduced to a bloody mess.
Han Ruoxi’s Electric Superpower was formless and intangible, yet it was everywhere.
The guards had no way to defend against it. Struck by the currents, they convulsed, and their screams rose and fell in waves.
The Insect Hunter Squad, with their flawless coordination and balanced offense and defense, were like a meat grinder on the battlefield.
The guards threw themselves forward, wave after wave, but it was like moths to a flame. In an instant, they were completely wiped out.
"Go!" Li Chang’an took the lead, charging into the Galaxy Group Headquarters building.
Shen Qiuyue, Sun Yang, and Han Ruoxi followed close behind.
The building’s interior was the pinnacle of luxury, opulent and magnificent.
But at this moment, it was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The air itself seemed to have frozen.
The commotion outside had alerted more guards.
From all directions, a tide of people surged forward—guards flooding in like a tidal wave.
"Halt! Who goes there? How dare you trespass in Galaxy Group!" another security captain roared, blocking their path with several dozen guards.
"We’re from the 42nd Combat Group," Li Chang’an replied coldly. "Take us to your superior. We’re here to take our Battle Commander."
"The Battle Commander?" The security captain sneered. "He’s been detained on suspicion of murdering Zhou Ze, the second son of Galaxy Group! Don’t even think about taking him!"
"Murder? Ridiculous!" Sun Yang seethed with anger. "The Battle Commander had no reason to kill Zhou Ze!"
"Whether he had a reason isn’t for you to decide!" the security captain declared tyrannically. "Surrender at once! Otherwise, we have orders to kill!"
"Surrender? In your dreams!" Li Chang’an’s gaze turned frigid. "We are taking our Battle Commander today!"
"Then die!" the security captain roared, waving his hand. "Go! Take them down!"
Dozens of guards, brandishing their weapons, charged madly toward Li Chang’an and the others.
Li Chang’an and his team, showing no fear, met them head-on.
An even more brutal battle erupted inside the building.
Li Chang’an’s Saw Chain Sword was like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, carving a bloody path through the crowd.
Flesh and blood flew as the guards screamed incessantly.
Shen Qiuyue’s Dueling Sword was agile and swift, striking like a viper. Every attack was precise and lethal.
Sun Yang’s Pulse Gun, at full power, swept beams of Energy in all directions, blasting the guards to pieces.
Han Ruoxi’s Electric Superpower crisscrossed the area. With flashes of lightning, guards fell in droves, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.
The Insect Hunter Squad grew fiercer as they fought, becoming an unstoppable force. The guards fell back again and again, their ranks completely broken.
But the sheer number of Galaxy Group’s guards was overwhelming. They seemed endless, as if they could never all be killed.
"This is bad! At this rate, we’ll be worn down and killed!" Sun Yang shouted anxiously.
"We have to find the Battle Commander and get out of here, now!" Li Chang’an said in a low voice.
"But how? We have no idea where he is!" Shen Qiuyue was frantic with worry.
"Found him!" Bai Lin’s voice suddenly crackled through the communicator. "I’ve hacked into Galaxy Group’s surveillance system. I have a lock on the Battle Commander’s position!"
"Where?" Li Chang’an demanded.
"Top floor, the 108th floor!" Bai Lin answered quickly. "It’s a Galaxy Group Restricted Area. Security is extremely tight, be careful!"
"Got it!" Li Chang’an said without hesitation. "We’re heading there now!"
They fought on, bathed in blood, carving a path straight to the top floor.
Batch after batch of guards fell, their bodies littering the ground.
Finally, the elevators were just ahead.
"Captain, the elevators are locked down! We can’t use them!" Sun Yang reported after checking, his expression grim.
"Stairs!" Li Chang’an decided instantly.
The four of them charged into the stairwell and sprinted up the long flights of stairs.
After running for what felt like an eternity, they finally reached the entrance to the 108th floor.
"Stop! This is a Restricted Area. No entry!"
Several men in black suits and sunglasses blocked their way like iron towers.
These were bodyguards, not to be compared with the regular security guards.
"Get out of the way!" Li Chang’an wasted no time on words, clearing a path directly with a sweep of his Saw Chain Sword.
The bodyguards reacted quickly, drawing their weapons to engage.
Their movements were agile, their attacks ruthless.
But they were still no match for the Insect Hunter Squad.
In moments, the bodyguards were all on the ground, a chorus of groans and cries.
"Go!" Li Chang’an once again led the charge.
They stepped onto the 108th floor.
A huge office, vast and silent, was spotlessly clean.
Only a massive desk and a set of leather sofas were present, attesting to the owner’s status.
"The Battle Commander isn’t here!" Shen Qiuyue said, frowning as she scanned the room.
"No, he’s here." Li Chang’an’s gaze was piercing.
He walked to the desk, his fingers tracing its surface until he pressed a hidden button.
With a soft CLICK...
The wall behind the desk opened silently, revealing a dark, hidden passage.
"Let’s go!" Li Chang’an said without hesitation, leading the way inside.
