A level seven ability user was reduced to a pile of black ash before he could even put up a fight.
The flames died down, and a large crater appeared before us, still vaguely resembling a human figure.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was filled with fear.
Looking at the fireball in Chi Xia's hand, they seemed to feel the intense heat burning on their bodies.
Making an example of someone to deter others is a very effective method.
Even without Horn in Chi Xia's hands, they no longer had the courage to step forward.
Chi Xia lowered her head, brought the fireball in her hand slightly closer to Horn, and said coldly, "I forgot to tell you, my ability is level eleven, so even if you and your henchmen called dozens more people, they would not be a match for me. I'll say it one last time, hand over General Han!"
The moment the level eleven superpower was revealed, everyone present was stunned.
Horn was so frightened he couldn't speak. If he were still standing there, he would definitely have given a Parkinson's performance right there.
And it was a severe case.
It wasn't until the fireball in Chi Xia's hand was almost scorching his face that he snapped out of his daze and cried out in alarm, "Quick! Bring Han Zheng out here!"
The two guards upstairs who were watching Han Zheng were also quite frightened. After Horn spoke up, the two quickly opened the door.
Han Zheng had already heard the commotion when Chi Xia first asked Huo En to hand over Han Zheng. As soon as the door opened, he immediately came out.
He first glanced downstairs from upstairs and saw Chi Xia holding a fireball, pressing Horn down under her legs. A hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
The two people behind him didn't dare to speak, letting him stand there for a while before following him downstairs.
Chi Xia saw Han Zheng come down the stairs, loosened her grip on Huo En's leg, and said to Han Zheng, "Uncle Han."
Han Zheng nodded to her and was about to walk towards her when someone grabbed his neck and looked at Chi Xia, saying, "Release Captain Huo first!"
Upon hearing this, Horn almost burst into tears of joy. He was no longer under such pressure, and his mind began to work. He hurriedly said, "Yes! Release me first, then I'll let him go with you!"
"Ha!" Chi Xia sneered, "Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?"
"Of course there is!" Horn felt emboldened and said to Chi Xia, "If you want Han Zheng to be alright, you'd better let me go first!"
Chi Xia ignored him completely, only looking up at the people in the room and saying, "Huo En is audacious and reckless. While Han Junche and Qin Zhao were in the capital facing danger, he kidnapped General Han under the pretext of everyone's safety, attempting to seize control of the base. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing, are you too?!"
Upon hearing this, Horn became anxious. He was indeed thinking the same thing, but to the outside world, he only claimed that it was for everyone's safety and unity. As for kidnapping Han Zheng, he only said that he wanted to persuade Han Zheng and prevent him from being stubborn.
He had actually kidnapped Han Zheng, a fact known only to a few of his close confidants; even the guards outside were unaware of it.
Horn couldn't let Chi Xia pin this on him, and immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! I didn't do it at all! I was doing it for everyone!"
"Heh." Chi Xia sneered, "You're threatening me with General Han's life now. Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Horn turned to look at the group that had rushed in and saw surprise and disbelief on their faces.
He quickly replied, "You were the one who threatened others with my life first, and you even killed someone!"
