Chapter 490, Fatal Assassination

The ceremonial car exploded violently, the vehicle was torn apart in an instant, and the wreckage flew everywhere.

But in the flames and debris, a circle of blue light balls flew out. That was naturally Gu Hang with the psychic shield.

With his full strength unleashed, it’s not that easy to be killed.

The assassins obviously did not give up. In addition to the extremely penetrating poisonous bullet at the beginning and the high-explosive bullets that were fired in succession, they also deployed personnel around to clean up the mess.

Four people wearing optical camouflage suddenly took action. They were almost invisible before. Not only did the optical camouflage make them invisible visually, but they also had methods such as deodorization, thermal masking, and psychic shielding.

In their perfect stillness, they were barely noticeable.

Even if they take action now and are very quick, the effectiveness of various camouflage equipment will be greatly reduced, but it is still difficult to capture their figures.

Each of the four men fired a shot.

The target was not directly at Gu Hang, but was shot at the open space around him.

Four dark green silk threads connected to each other from the shooting point, forming a dense net in an instant.

Gu Hang suddenly felt a strong spiritual suppression.

The feeling of being targeted is overwhelming.

These assassins had a high level of intelligence on him and knew that he was a powerful psychic. Even though Gu Hang must have worn the Black Stone Bracelet when he entered the Terra Palace, they still prepared a more powerful means of suppressing psychic energy, just to avoid the first wave of assassination attacks failing to complete the task, and then to make up for it.

This wave of attack is really fierce.

It was obvious that they were coming for the top psychics. Even though Gu Hang had displayed Alpha-level psychic strength by tearing open a subspace rift, he was still unable to break free.

The psychic shield on his body flickered twice and was on the verge of collapse. The fireworks from the explosion of the limousine covered his body again; he could not even continue to maintain his flying posture and almost fell back into the fire.

Seeing that the next fatal blow was about to follow, Gu Hang only had one last trick left.

He hid in the warp.

The magic-suppressing web suppressed psychic energy, but it failed to completely close the subspace rift, allowing Gu Hang to slip in.

Others were no longer in the real world, so naturally all attacks were in vain.

But Gu Hang couldn't stay in his Storm Kingdom for too long. He counted a few seconds in his heart, and at the same time called for strength in the Kingdom, and thunder added to his body, forming a lightning shield, and then he went out again.

These forces brought out from the subspace will still be suppressed by the anti-magic web, but they will not dissipate immediately and can play a protective role.

It’s a pity that the subspace rift is where it is, and Gu Hang can’t immediately tear another hole and get out from somewhere else, otherwise he could flash directly.

When he came out again, Gu Hang felt the high temperature.

This is not the flame caused by the explosion of the limousine, but heat!

In the few seconds when they lost their target, the assassins did not do nothing! They directly used hot melt weapons to cover the area where Gu Hang was before.

If Gu Hang didn't have this layer of thunder protection on his body, he would probably be burned to ashes when he came out.

But the good news is that Gu Hang felt that the intensity of the psychic suppression had been greatly reduced.

When he looked up again, he saw that one of the four assassins had already fallen in a pool of blood. The invisibility cloak on his body was still working, but it couldn't stop the blood from flowing out, staining him bright red.

The one who killed the assassin was Lacroxia.

Gu Hang did not come to Holy Terra alone this time.

That doesn't fit his identity as a powerful local leader. In fact, on the ship he came from, there was a whole team serving him. This included a life team responsible for his daily life, and a whole team of secretaries to assist him in his work. He would often communicate with the Tianma Star Region through astropathic communication to guide the development direction of the alliance. The astropathic tower on Feiyi Star was of a high level, and Gu Hang's ship also had a high-level ship-borne astropathic tower. Coupled with his own strong psychic level and increasingly skilled astropathic communication skills, he was able to build a stable communication route with Feiyi Star in about an hour.

In addition to these daily life and clerical secretaries, Gu Hang also brought a team of bodyguards.

When they set out, Captain Martins had proposed to send out an elite company of veteran soldiers to be responsible for Gu Hang's security. However, this proposal was rejected by Gu Hang.

A little high-profile and eye-catching.

Instead, Gu Hang mobilized some good players from the newly formed 'Glory Guards'.

All members wear "Servant of the Gods" power armor. Not only have they been trained to the T1 level, but they have also been enlightened in the [Hero] template.

The combat strength of these Honor Guards is basically enough to tie with Space Marine recruits in a one-on-one duel, or even be slightly better. If they really meet veterans, they can also give them a fight.

In addition, a small team of members from the Storm Mage Corps also arrived.

They are already the most capable of all the organized troops under Gu Hang, except for the Phoenix Regiment.

Lacrosha was one of the best. He was the first hero to receive enlightenment. When he wore power armor, his personal strength was even better than that of the Phoenix veteran.

Of course, this is almost the upper limit of a normal mortal. Even with the blessing of the [Hero] template, it is impossible to improve it to a higher level. Lacrosha is a mortal, and the feedback power armor is different from the real Space Marine power armor. In terms of hard conditions, he can never catch up with a Space Marine. All he can rely on is his powerful combat skills and excellent combat wisdom.

At this time, Lacroxia used all these things to the best of his ability.

As Gu Hang was riding in the courtesy car to Jiangxingtai, Lakrosa, as his bodyguard, also brought two teams of soldiers, riding in four hovercrafts, and followed Gu Hang's courtesy car.

The elite soldiers reacted as soon as Gu Hang was attacked.

La Croix is ​​especially swift.

The main target of those four assassins was to deal with Gu Hang, and they were not able to deal with Gu Hang's bodyguards.

Moreover, in terms of objective conditions, there is a huge difference in the direct combat capabilities of both sides. The assassin's equipment is obviously very sophisticated and expensive, but the main skill points are placed on hiding himself. As for the physical bonus and protective ability, which are the attributes required for direct confrontation, it is definitely slightly insufficient.

At least it can't compare to the serious feedback power armor 'Servant of God'.

Moreover, they obviously did not expect that these bodyguards around Gu Hang, who were just mortals, would have such strong fighting power.

Especially La Croix.

He quickly got out of the car and used the precision grenade launcher in his hand to fire multiple bombs at an assassin with great precision.

The assassins were surprised to find that their disguises had little effect.

However, the assassins were extremely flexible and skillful. The one targeted by Lacroxia was injured when he was caught off guard, but he was still able to dodge. Of course, he couldn't dodge the bullets, but he could catch Lacroxia's shooting rhythm and dodge in advance.

However, this was still within Lacroxia's expectations.

He kept running while shooting, and his shooting also forced the assassin to move closer to him while dodging. Running in both directions, the distance between them was shortened very quickly.

The assassin was certainly aware of this, but he was not afraid.

Lacroxia's shooting skills were beyond his imagination. He was eager to get into close combat. Even if he couldn't defeat him quickly, he could still entangle this bodyguard whose strength was beyond his expectations and delay as much time as possible for his teammates.

The powerful camouflage coat, as well as the incomparable outstanding body movements and flexibility, make their postures look like dancing. This technology and technique obtained from a certain tribe called the Eldar can be used to a certain extent by these assassins who have undergone special human body transformation.

While he was "dancing", he saw a flash of a knife and his body was cut into two sections at an angle.

The finely crafted power sword in Lacrosha's hand was like lightning, leaving him no way to avoid it. His Eldar war dance seemed to have no effect at all.

There was still a trace of surprise in the assassin's eyes, as if telling him that he had no idea why this man's eyes were so vicious and his sword was so fast, even more outrageous than any Space Marine he had seen before.

But La Croix-Chateau wouldn't give him any answers.

He was extremely anxious at the moment, and the grenade launcher in his hand was already firing at another assassin.

And this was the scene that Gu Hang saw when he came out from the Kingdom of Storm God again.

After the death of an assassin, the magic-forbidden net that blocked the space where Gu Hang was located suddenly became unstable.

At least, it can't lock up an Alpha-level psychic.

Gu Hang, who was no longer restrained, held up a psychic shield to replace the lightning shield that could resist the heat of the melt, rushed out of the melt area, and called for thunder to lock on the two assassins. The thunder fell from the sky and killed the two assassins who had already realized that the mission had failed.

And the last one was left behind by Gu Hang on purpose.

He tried to keep him alive, and the psychic power seized upon the assassin.

When the magic-forbidden web completely collapsed, Gu Hang could control every inch of muscle in that guy's body, ensuring that he could not move at all.

However, a moment later, the assassin died.

There seemed to be some special mechanism in his body, which was automatically triggered when Gu Hang controlled it, destroying his life from the inside.

Putting the body down, Gu Hang looked into the distance.

That was the direction from which the first two sniper bullets came.

There were five assassins in total.

Gu Hang looked in another direction and saw three golden lights coming at him rapidly. They were the imperial guards riding on hoverbikes.

The Terra Palace is undoubtedly the territory of the Emperor's Guards, and they are fully responsible for the security of the Terra Palace.

The Terra Palace is certainly not a completely safe place. As the core of the imperial power field, assassinations and coups have never been rare. However, most assassinations are carried out in secret. Poison, a dagger in the dark, a silent bullet from nowhere, after the operation, it disappears quietly, leaving only a corpse.

The Imperial Guards would not care about this situation.

What exactly were the Emperor's Guards guarding at the Imperial Palace on Terra? No one knew, but it was certainly not the High Lords, let alone the common Imperial officials.

But who made the assassination attempt on Gu Hang turn into a murder?

The first bullet did fit the definition of assassination. The sniper hiding in the dark fired a deadly and silent bullet. If it succeeded, Gu Hang would be like the countless high-ranking officials of the empire who died in the Terra Palace that covered the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. No matter how many storms would happen in the future, it would have nothing to do with the dead.

But that bullet failed, nor did the second bullet that destroyed the entire limousine, nor did the four masters who were lying in ambush succeed.

The noise was getting louder and louder.

The Imperial Guards can ignore silent assassinations, but they cannot ignore explosions and deafening gunshots.

What's more, such a powerful, unrecorded psychic reaction occurred!

There were psychics in the palace who didn't wear black stone bracelets. After all, there were still some psychic equipment in the palace that needed maintenance, especially the Star Speaker Tower Cluster and the Imperial Star Torch.

However, those who can legally use psychic powers within the Terra Palace have all been permitted and registered.

But what is happening now is definitely not included in the registration.

The Imperial Guards reacted very quickly. It had only been two minutes since the assassination attempt began. The Imperial Guards were almost there.

Should we trust these imperial guards?

Gu Hang hesitated for a moment, then his body turned into a flash of lightning and headed towards the sniper's previous position.

The man also retreated, and activated his invisibility with all his strength. However, the furious Gu Hang still found him out, and tried to control him again with his psychic power.

This time, he changed his method. Controlling the body would trigger suicide, but how about using soul spikes to knock him out?

That doesn't work either.

The self-understanding mechanism still occurs.

Gu Hang could only bring the body back to the crime scene with regret.

At this moment, the three imperial guards also arrived.

They were confronting the Glory Guards led by Lakrosa, and shouted at them to lay down their weapons. Of course, Lakrosa and his men would not surrender so easily, and they were arguing about something.

Gu Hang quickly asked Lacroxia to obey.

What are you fighting against the Imperial Guards for?

If you keep pushing them, these golden-armored corn spirits will not show any mercy.

With Gu Hang's order, Lacroxia and others put down their weapons.

However, the three imperial guards did not let down their guard, and all their eyes were fixed on Gu Hang.

They saw the broken black stone bracelet on Gu Hang's wrist and seemed very surprised and fearful.

Being able to break free from the Black Stone Bracelet was definitely not something that an A-level psychic like Gu Hang had registered could achieve. In fact, even an S-level psychic couldn't do that. Only an Alpha could achieve that level.

However, Alpha-level psychic powers cannot be stably controlled by humans, and Alpha-level psychics are unstable beings.

But Gu Hang didn't seem to have such signs.

Although the psychic power he possessed at the moment seemed powerful, it had not reached the Alpha level.

The imperial guards did not dare to be careless. The leader ordered Gu Hang: "Stop all resistance and accept our investigation."

"Of course." Gu Hang cooperated and dissipated his psychic power.

However, when the imperial guard took a step forward, Gu Hang also took a step back.

He said: "No offense, but I just faced an assassination attempt. I will not ask why there is such a big flaw in the security work in the palace, but please forgive me for being cautious. How can I be sure that you are real imperial guards and not fake ones?"

"You have no right to resist."

These golden corn spirits are really arrogant.

But Gu Hang didn't intend to confront them head-on.

"I will not violate your rules, and I will cooperate with your investigation. I have no intention of resisting, but please consider my suggestion: Let's all wait here. With such a big commotion here, the news should have spread. Once more people come, we should be able to get to the bottom of the whole thing."

At this point, Gu Hang paused for a moment, not intending to be weak to the end, and showed a little toughness: "Otherwise, I can only think that you are in the same group with the assassin."

As expected, the imperial guards hesitated.

"Stop here, no one present is allowed to leave!"

"Of course, I have no intention of leaving."

…

After that, Gu Hang, Lacroxia, a group of guards, and three imperial guards looked at each other in silence and waited.

The three imperial guards called for support from a higher level, and Gu Hang didn't have to do anything. This place was actually very close to the Star Platform, and they must have known what happened here.

While waiting, Gu Hang's mind was racing. He was thinking about the current situation and how it would develop in the future.

There is no doubt that Gu Hang was under a fatal threat this time. The actions of the Assassin's Court were fierce enough and were completely arranged to assassinate a controllable Alpha-level psychic.

This was already an outrageous arrangement. On the surface, Gu Hang's psychic strength was only A-level. Although if the intelligence was a little better and he knew about his deeds in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, he would know that he was more than A. But the best guess was that he was S, or S+, no more.

Alpha-level psychics are uncontrollable, this is an iron rule.

However, the Assassin's Court still treated Gu Hang at the Alpha level, which could be said to be overly cautious.

If Gu Hang was really an ordinary Alpha-class, he would have died from the combination of the third wave of the magic-suppressing web and the heat-melt.

Is this the limit of the Assassin's Court?

Obviously not. If they wanted, they could organize many similar actions, or even more threatening actions. Could Gu Hang withstand one or two assassinations, or countless assassinations by the Assassin Court?

impossible.
