Chapter 246 Lingtian Versus Ninja
Facing the barrage of bullets, Xia Liu channeled his Spiritual Energy and his body turned into afterimages, speedily weaving through the bullets' paths.
Yan Min's eyes bulged as he witnessed Xia Liu's godlike speed.
He couldn't catch Xia Liu's trajectory at all.
But one thing was for certain, Xia Liu had dodged all the bullets!
While displaying his movement technique, Xia Liu threw the last two grenades he had.
Boom boom!!!
Once again, a bunch of guards were killed or injured.
"Haha! Act cool and then run off! Damn, that's thrilling!" Amidst laughter, Xia Liu, using his movement technique, had already retreated over ten meters.
The guards, seeing Xia Liu escaping, couldn't help but use the walkie-talkie to call for the military forces stationed in the suburbs, planning to catch him in a pincer attack.
"Yan Min! What's happening?" After the gunfire ceased, Muzi urgently asked.
"Xia Liu... he..." Yan Min breathed quickly, unable to get his words out.
What he had just seen was unbelievable: Xia Liu had not only dodged all the bullets but also used grenades to kill at least twenty people!
And he had calmly retreated!
"Yan Min!" Ouyang Lingtian was planning his opportunity to enter the building; only Yan Min, from his vantage point, could see the entire battlefield.
"Yes! Enter the building in five seconds!"
Regaining his composure, Yan Min said sternly.
Hearing this, Ouyang Lingtian silently counted the numbers in his mind and, just like Xia Liu, took his earpiece out.

"Time's up! Enter!" Seeing the guards chasing after Xia Liu, Yan Min quickly spoke.
Although he couldn't hear any commands, Ouyang Lingtian was already primed to go.
His Inner Qi overflowing, he rushed across the dozen meters of the street with incredible speed and entered the building in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Ouyang Lingtian's speed, Yan Min felt another twinge of anxiety.
No wonder the higher-ups sent Ouyang Lingtian and Xia Liu here; their speeds were indeed remarkably agile.
Yan Min could see that Ouyang Lingtian was a few notches below Xia Liu in terms of speed.
But this didn't hinder the mission at hand.
"Yan Min, where's Xia Liu now?" Muzi asked anxiously from inside the vehicle.
Now that Ouyang Lingtian had successfully entered the building, Muzi naturally would keep his promise to safely get Xia Liu to his destination.
"I don't know! His speed is too fast, I completely lost sight of him."
Yan Min's face turned pale, Xia Liu's speed was truly terrifying.
After turning a corner, he had completely vanished.
The guards were the same, each one dumbfounded and searching nearby.
"This..." Muzi exclaimed in surprise.
What was Xia Liu trying to do? He better not get caught by the guards at this time.
"Forget it, let's not worry about him for now; when can the forces from the suburbs get here?" What Muzi was most concerned about now were the forces from the suburbs.
That was a terrifying presence; there were armored cars, tanks, and various kinds of advanced weaponry.
If Ouyang Lingtian didn't come out of the building before the suburban forces arrived, then everything would be over.
"Twenty minutes!" Yan Min responded without hesitation.
"For Lingtian, twenty minutes is enough!"
Muzi had heard of Ouyang Lingtian's strength, twenty minutes was more than enough to retrieve a stone.
After Xia Liu mysteriously disappeared, the guards dared not act rashly and returned to the entrance of the building.
Some of them began rescuing efforts, while others continued to patrol.
The security was much tighter than before.
Now, not even a swallow could fly into the building.
In the stairwell of the building, Ouyang Lingtian was racing up one level after another with astonishing speed.
Looking up, he saw the target floor, the tenth level, right in front of him.
"Hmm? There's a killing intent!" Ready to climb the stairs, Ouyang Lingtian's brows furrowed.
He could sense it, the air was thick with a strong killing intent.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
After operating his cultivation technique, Ouyang Lingtian's condition had always been at its peak, and all his senses were extremely sharp.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of desolation, the sound of air being mercilessly cleaved!
Ouyang Lingtian abruptly retreated backward.
Clang!
The moment Ouyang Lingtian stepped back, a crystal clear katana swiftly plunged into the stone slab.
"Ninja!"
That's right, just as Xia Liu had said, there were ninjas hidden inside the building!
Ouyang Lingtian had clashed with ninjas from the Island Nation a few times and knew well the might of the ninjas.
This hidden katana attack, if it weren't for the feeling of that killing intent, Ouyang Lingtian would not have stepped back.
This was one of the ninjas' concealment techniques; to kill invisibly was not an exaggeration.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Looking around, listening attentively, Ouyang Lingtian heard the sound of desolation again.
"Ha!" With an Inhaling Breath, Ouyang Lingtian pushed forward with both palms, and his unmatched Inner Qi surged out powerfully.
An Inner Qi Rigid Shield instantly surrounded his body.
Clang clang clang!
Blocked by the shield, more than a dozen kunai fell to the ground.
Kunai, a common type of light assassination weapon used by ninjas from the Island Nation.
Ding!
Before Ouyang Lingtian could relax, a cold gleam struck the shield.
While blocking, Ouyang Lingtian reached out to grab the flying knife and, with no mercy, fired several more into the air ahead of him.
Bang bang bang...
As the throwing knives shot out, they also gradually disappeared into the air.
"Mysterious Rank Ninja's signature technique: Invisibility Technique!" Seeing this, Ouyang Lingtian's brow tightened again.
Just as Xia Liu had speculated, there was indeed a ninja of the Mysterious Rank in the building.
The Invisibility Technique was a lethal move to Ouyang Lingtian, especially if his opponent's cultivation was deeper than his own and did not reveal the slightest energy.
He could not detect the opponent's position at all.
If his guess was correct, the ninja using the Invisibility Technique was at least a High-Level Mysterious Rank ninja.
"Hmm! Killing intent! I've got it!" Ouyang Lingtian's eyebrows crossed, and he immediately drew his military knife from his waist, enhanced it with Inner Qi, and swung it at the air in front of him without hesitation.
Clang!
A clear clashing sound echoed through the stairwell.
"Tsk tsk, Huaxia warriors are indeed impressive," the ninja revealed himself, having his position discovered by Ouyang Lingtian.
However, he was dressed in a night suit, entirely pitch black, obscuring his true face.
Hearing the ninja speak in Huaxia, Ouyang Lingtian was stunned for a moment, and then strongly responded, "What follows will astonish you!"
"I've killed dozens of Huaxia people with my blade, let's see how you can astonish me!" the man in black said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, the katana was withdrawn, and the man attacked Ouyang Lingtian with fierce moves.
Clang clang clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed incessantly within the stairwell.
After a long fight, Ouyang Lingtian confirmed the strength of the black-clad ninja—High-Level Mysterious Rank!
He understood that in this manner, the stalemate would last for a long time.
So, after blocking a strike from the man in black, Ouyang Lingtian raised his palm with anger, and invisibly, Inner Qi continuously condensed on his palm.
The pressure of a Mid-Level Mysterious Rank martial artist was constantly released.
"Mmm-hmm, time to use martial arts..." the man in black muttered, then his palms formed seals, a special capability of the ninja.
"Baji Palm!" With Inner Qi fully charged, Ouyang Lingtian didn't give the man in black a chance, slamming his palm down with the unstoppable momentum of the Baji Palm...
