Chapter 490, Fatal Assassination

The limousine exploded violently, and the vehicle was torn apart in an instant, with debris flying everywhere.

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

With his full strength, he was not so easy to be killed.

The assassins obviously did not give up. In addition to the extremely penetrating and highly toxic bullet at the beginning and the high-explosive bullets fired in succession, they also arranged people to deal with the aftermath of Gu Hang's assassination.

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 means such as deodorization, thermal masking, and psychic shielding.

When they were completely still, almost no one could detect them.

Even if they took action now and were very fast, the effects of various camouflage equipment were greatly reduced, but it was still difficult to capture their figures.

Each of the four fired a shot.

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

Four dark green silk threads connected from the shooting point and formed a dense net in an instant.

Gu Hang suddenly felt a strong psychic suppression.

The feeling of being targeted was full.

These assassins had a high degree of intelligence on him and knew that he was a powerful psychic. Even though Gu Hang must have worn the Black Stone Bracelet when entering the Terra Palace, they still prepared a more powerful psychic suppression method, that is, to avoid the first wave of assassination attacks that failed to complete the task, and then to make up for it.

This wave of attack was really fierce.

They were clearly targeting the top psychic. Even though Gu Hang showed Alpha-level psychic strength by tearing open the subspace rift, he still couldn't break free.

The psychic shield on his body flickered twice, and was on the verge of collapse. The fireworks from the exploding limousine covered his body again; he couldn't even continue to maintain his flying posture, and almost fell into the fire again.

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

He hid in the subspace.

The magic-forbidden web suppressed psychic energy, but it was not able to completely close the subspace cracks, so that Gu Hang could slip in.

Others were no longer in the real world, and all the attacks naturally fell through.

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 power in the kingdom, thundering on his body, forming a lightning shield, and then he went out again.

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

Unfortunately, the subspace rift was there, and Gu Hang couldn't tear another hole and get out from somewhere else immediately, otherwise he could have flashed directly.

When he emerged again, Gu Hang felt the high temperature coming.

This was not the flame produced by the explosion of the courtesy car, but the hot melt!

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 when he came out.

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

Looking up again, he saw that one of the four assassins had 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 and dyed him a bright red.

The one who killed this assassin was Lakrosa.

Gu Hang didn't come to Holy Terra alone this time.

That was not in line with his status as a powerful local leader. In fact, on the ship he came, 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 in star language to guide the general development direction of the alliance. The star language tower on Feiyi Star was not low in level, and Gu Hang's ship also had a high-level ship-borne star language tower. Coupled with his own strong psychic level and increasingly skilled star language 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 civilian secretaries, Gu Hang also brought a bodyguard team.

When he set off, the commander of the Martins war group had proposed to send an elite veteran company 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 wore "Attendant God" power armor. Not only were they trained to the T1 level, but they were also enlightened in the [Hero] template.

The combat strength of these Honor Guards is basically equal to that of Space Marine recruits in a single duel, or even slightly better. If they really meet veterans, they can also fight a few times.

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

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

Lakrosa is one of the best. He is the first combat hero to receive enlightenment after receiving the Alliance Hero Medal. When he wears power armor, his personal strength is now even better than that of the Phoenix veterans.

Of course, this is almost the upper limit of normal mortals. Even with the blessing of the [Hero] template, it is impossible to improve it to a higher level. Lakrosa 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, Lakrosa exerted all these things to the best of his ability.

When Gu Hang took the courtesy car to the Star Platform, Lakrosa, as a bodyguard, also took two teams of soldiers and rode four hovercrafts to follow Gu Hang's courtesy car.

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

Lacroxia was particularly swift.

The four assassins’ main goal was to deal with Gu Hang, and they were not good enough to deal with Gu Hang’s bodyguards.

Moreover, in terms of objective conditions, there was a huge difference in the frontal combat capabilities of both sides. The equipment on the assassins was obviously very sophisticated and expensive, but the main skill points were all placed on hiding themselves. For the attributes required for physical bonuses and protective abilities for frontal confrontation, they were definitely slightly insufficient.

At least not as good as the serious feedback power armor ‘servant of the gods’.

Moreover, they obviously did not expect that these mortal bodyguards around Gu Hang would have such strong combat power.

Especially Lacroxia.

After he got off the car quickly, the precision grenade launcher in his hand sent multiple grenade launchers to an assassin in an extremely accurate manner.

The assassins were surprised to find that their disguises had almost no effect.

However, the postures of these assassins were also extremely flexible and exquisite. The one targeted by Lakrosa was injured when he was caught off guard, but he was still able to dodge. Of course, he couldn't dodge the bullet, but he could catch Lakrosa's shooting rhythm and predict the dodge in advance.

However, this was still within Lakrosa's expectations.

He kept running while shooting, and his shooting also forced the assassin to move closer to him when he was dodging. Under the two-way running, the distance between the two was very quickly shortened.

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

Lakrosa's shooting skills were beyond his imagination. He was eager to get into close combat. Even if he couldn't win quickly, he could entangle this bodyguard with an unexpected strength level and delay time for his teammates as much as possible.

The powerful camouflage coat, as well as the outstanding body movements and flexibility, made his posture like dancing. This technology and skill obtained from a certain tribe called [Eldar] can be used to a certain extent by these assassins who have undergone special human body modification.

During the "dance", he only saw a flash of knife light, and his body was cut into two sections diagonally.

The fine 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.

The assassin's eyes still retained surprise, as if he was telling that he didn't understand why this person's eyes were so vicious and why the sword was so fast, even more outrageous than the Space Marines he had seen.

But Lacrosha would not give him any answer.

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 of the Kingdom of Storm God again.

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

At least, it couldn't lock 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 the two assassins. The thunder fell from the sky and killed the two assassins who had realized that the mission had failed.

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

He tried to leave a survivor, and the power of psychic energy seized the assassin.

When the magic net completely collapsed, Gu Hang could control every inch of muscle on the guy's body to ensure that he could not make any movement.

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 down the body, Gu Hang looked into the distance.

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

There were five assassins who took action.

Gu Hang looked in another direction, and there were three golden lights coming rapidly. Those were the imperial guards riding on hoverbikes.

In the Terra Palace, it is undoubtedly the territory of the Imperial Guards, who are fully responsible for the security of the Terra Palace.

The Terra Palace is certainly not an absolutely safe place. As the core of the imperial power field, assassinations and coups have never been rare. But 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.

In this case, the Imperial Guards don't care.

What exactly is the Imperial Guards guarding in the Terra Palace? No one knows, but it is not guarding the high lords anyway, let alone ordinary imperial officials.

But who made the assassination against Gu Hang become a forced killing?

The first bullet meets the definition of assassination. The sniper hiding in the dark fired a deadly and silent bullet. If it succeeds, Gu Hang will be like the countless imperial officials who died in the Terra Palace covering the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. No matter how many storms will happen in the future, it has nothing to do with the dead.

But that bullet failed, and the second bullet that destroyed the entire limousine failed, and the four masters who were ambushed also failed.

The noise is getting louder and louder.

The Imperial Guards can ignore silent assassinations, but explosions and deafening bolt gunshots are not okay.

What's more, there is such a strong, unrecorded psychic reaction!

It's not that there are no psychics in the palace without black stone bracelets. After all, there are still some psychic equipment in the palace that needs to be maintained. Especially the Star Language Tower Cluster and the Imperial Astronomical Torch.

However, all those who can legally use psychic power inside the Terra Palace have obtained permission and have been registered.

And what is happening now is definitely not registered.

The Imperial Guards' reaction is already very fast. It has only been two minutes since the assassination began. The Imperial Guards are almost on the scene.

Should we trust these Imperial Guards?

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

The man was also retreating, and he 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, and what about using soul spikes to knock him out?

That didn't work either.

The self-understanding mechanism still happened.

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

At this moment, the three imperial guards also arrived.

They were confronting the glory guards led by Lakrosa, and shouted loudly to lay down their weapons. Lakrosa and the others certainly couldn't surrender so easily, arguing about something.

Gu Hang quickly told Lakrosa to obey.

Why are you fighting with the imperial guards?

If you keep pushing, these golden-armored corn spirits won't be soft.

With Gu Hang's order, Lakrosa and the others laid down their weapons.

However, the three imperial guards did not relax their vigilance. All their eyes were fixed on Gu Hang.

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

To be able to break free from the black stone bracelet, that was definitely not the level that Gu Hang's registered A-level psychic could achieve. In fact, even S-level couldn't do it. Only Alpha could reach this level.

However, Alpha-level psychic power could not be stably controlled by humans. Alpha-level psychics were unstable.

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

Although his psychic power looked grand at the moment, it did not reach 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 stepped forward, Gu Hang also took a step back.

He said: "No offense, but I just faced an assassination. I won't ask why there are such big loopholes in the security work in the palace, but please forgive me for being careful. 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.

"I will not violate your rules and will cooperate with your investigation. I have no intention of resisting, but please consider my suggestion: let's all wait here. There is such a big commotion here, and the news should have spread. When 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."

The imperial guards really hesitated.

"Stop here, no one here 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, but 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 spinning rapidly. He was thinking about the current situation and how it would evolve in the future.

There is no doubt that Gu Hang was under a fatal threat this time. The Assassin's Court acted fiercely and arranged it completely according to the assassination of a controllable Alpha-level psychic.

This was already a very outrageous arrangement. On the surface, Gu Hang's psychic strength was only A-level. Although as long as the intelligence was a little stronger and he knew his deeds in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, he would know that he was not just A. But at most he was guessed to be S, or S+, no more.

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

But the Assassin's Court still treated Gu Hang as an Alpha-level psychic, which can be said to be overly cautious.

If Gu Hang was really an ordinary Alpha-level, he would have died under the combination of the third wave of the Forbidden Magic Weaving Net and the melting.

Is this the limit of the Assassin's Court?

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

Impossible.
