Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World
Chapter 1241: Ambush

Chapter 1241: Ambush

"Speaking of which, that guy’s memories yesterday were interesting. Planet Omicron looks open on the surface, but beneath it, there are plenty of secrets..." If he had more time, Kenny Lin would have investigated immediately.

"Like what?"

"There’s an underground network similar to the black market run by Rafael. They call it the ’Underground City,’ but not just anyone can enter. You need a referral, and ninety percent of its inhabitants are cultivators. The cultivation aptitude of people in the Pleiades Star System is far superior to that of the Erythar Star System."

"The servant who betrayed the Vanquez family back then was also a cultivator. If he’s still alive, we might find clues about him in the Underground City."

"Hmm. But what about a referral? Where do we find one?" It’s not like they could just force their way in.

Kenny Lin chuckled. "That’s the easy part."

Amalia was just about to ask what he meant when suddenly, her expression changed.

Boom!

A massive explosion rocked the vehicle.

From the lead car, Minister Sharif and the others turned in horror, only to see Amalia and Kenny Lin’s car engulfed in a cloud of black smoke and raging flames.

The vehicle looked as if it had been blasted into a heap of scrap metal.

Their driver immediately hit the brakes, and they were about to jump out to check on the situation when—

With a deafening roar, the car burst from the flames, completely unscathed, and came to a smooth stop by the roadside.

Kenny Lin stepped out, his gaze icy as he looked toward the rooftop of a high-rise building over three thousand meters away.

Atop the building stood a man dressed entirely in black, his face obscured by dark sunglasses.

He was holding a large cannon, its barrel still smoking as he aimed directly at them.

Realizing that his first attack had failed, the man wasted no time in firing a second and third shot.

Kenny Lin rolled his neck, his feet creating ripples on the pavement.

As Minister Sharif and his men stepped out of their car, Kenny Lin, who had been standing still just moments before, shot forward at a speed faster than the incoming missiles.

The distance of over three thousand meters was neither too long nor too short.

When the man on the rooftop saw Kenny Lin getting closer and closer through the reflection in his lens, he wasted no time putting away the cannon and leaping off the building to escape.

Just as Kenny Lin disappeared in pursuit, Amalia turned to Minister Sharif, who was already halfway out of the car. "Minister Sharif, you should all stay inside. It’s too dangerous out here."

Minister Sharif glanced in the direction Kenny Lin had gone.

He thought that whoever had attacked them from a distance was likely no longer a threat.

What other danger could there be?

But he quickly realized that Amalia’s words carried another meaning.

Without hesitation, he withdrew back into the car, even grabbing General Rafiq and pulling him inside as well.

At the same time, the danger Amalia had spoken of descended abruptly.

Three figures in black appeared out of nowhere, and one of them immediately charged toward Minister Sharif’s car.

Rafael and Duan Yao wasted no time leaping out to intercept them.

The two forces clashed violently.

Rafael and Duan Yao were pushed back two steps, but the black-clad man opposing them only retreated by a single step.

Both men were startled.

Their strength was formidable even by universal standards, ranking at least in the upper-middle tier.

And yet, the black-clad fighter in front of them felt even stronger.

Realizing they were facing a powerful opponent, Rafael and Duan Yao became even more cautious.

Amalia, seeing that the two could hold their own for now, turned her attention to the other two black-clad figures.

One of them held a gun—at first glance, it looked like an ordinary energy weapon, but Amalia could tell it had been modified for cultivators.

As expected, the opponent wasted no time confirming her guess.

He immediately attacked, firing a white bullet compressed with spiritual energy.

Amalia dodged the first bullet, which struck a nearby wall.

With a deafening explosion, the entire wall collapsed.

The immense power intrigued her.

This method of compressing spiritual energy into bullets made the attack even stronger than conventional spiritual techniques.

"Who sent you? Why are you targeting us?" Amalia had already deduced that Kenny Lin had been lured away, meaning their true targets were likely the rest of the group.

The two black-clad figures remained silent, but their attacks became increasingly ruthless.

"Was it the Crimson Moon Dynasty that sent you to assassinate us?" Amalia deliberately provoked them.

"You deserve to die," one of the black-clad figures finally spoke, his attacks growing even more aggressive.

Both were highly skilled and coordinated seamlessly.

If Amalia weren’t as strong as she was, Rafael or Duan Yao wouldn’t have lasted more than a few seconds against them.

Just as that thought crossed her mind, things took a turn—Rafael, having engaged in a head-on clash with his opponent, was sent flying backward.

Seeing an opportunity, the black-clad assassin once again charged toward Minister Sharif’s vehicle.

It was now clear that their true targets were Minister Sharif and General Rafiq.

Amalia summoned a blade into her hand, ignoring the two assassins surrounding her.

Without hesitation, she swung her weapon.

A sharp arc of blade light flashed through the air. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the black-clad assassin charging toward the car.

The assassin hurriedly raised his weapon to block.

Crack!

The weapon in his hands shattered in less than a second, cleaved cleanly in two.

The blade light continued forward, piercing straight into the assassin’s body.

He froze in place, still maintaining his defensive stance as if he had yet to register what had happened.

Amalia paid him no further attention.

She turned to the two remaining assassins, whose pupils shrank in fear.
