Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 273 - 272 Sky and Earth Net

Chapter 273: Chapter 272 Sky and Earth Net

Lin Hao, the Arson Demon!

Freedom City, this name, had already spread across the entire island while Lin Hao was on his way to the Western Dock.

At the same time, news reports from various western countries appeared in great length:

"Breaking news reports that the first cultivator in three hundred years to escape from under the Red Knights’ Magic Wand is currently advancing towards the Western Dock owned by the East Atlantic Company."

"The Arson Demon, known as the number one expert, intends to reduce all properties of the East Atlantic Company on Transshipment Island to ashes within three days. At present, apart from the Red Knights, no one on Transshipment Island can stop the momentum of the Arson Demon. The higher-ups of the East Atlantic Company are holding an urgent meeting to discuss how to deal with the current difficult situation."

"After the Arson Demon destroyed half of Freedom City and burned down the properties of the East Atlantic Company there, the major countries issued a joint public statement. They expressed strong condemnation towards the indulgence of cultivators in wanton destruction and slaughter of civilians of various nations’ properties, and made a stern protest. They urged the recall of the Arson Demon to ensure peace and freedom in Transshipment Island, expressing concern over whether the situation on the island can stabilize."

Nearly every radio station was broadcasting this world-class news.

In front of the 3D TV, Long Si was watching the reports from various countries with a grin, so delighted he almost jumped for joy.

"Not bad, not bad, this kid, I wasn’t wrong about him. He’s just gone out and already caused such a big news story. I didn’t expect that he’d actually survive under that old undead Red Ghost, he truly is a talent."

"Look at the faces of these countries, pah! Back in the day, we made many such strong condemnations and solemn protests, did they ever care? This time, let them protest for a change."

Rarely, Long Si took out a bottle of century-old liquor from the liquor cabinet, inexplicably excited, drinking while watching television, and even said to Li Yuan standing beside him:

"However, this kid made such a big fuss this time, the East Atlantic Company definitely won’t let it go. Their main force is on Resurrection Island right now and can’t spare the effort, but if they really free up resources, I’m afraid Lin Hao won’t be able to hold them back. Go and meet with him to see what help he needs, we will support him unconditionally!"

"Okay."

Li Yuan nodded her head.

Watching on television, the silhouette of Lin Hao leaving Freedom City, her alluring eyes flashed with an unusual gleam, and her lips curved into an involuntary sweet smile, Lin Hao’s face crossing her mind.

Meanwhile.

Just a quarter of an hour before Lin Hao reached the Western Dock.

An emergency temporary meeting was also being held at the East Atlantic Company headquarters.

The atmosphere in the office was extremely somber.

The eight directors in attendance all stood with gloomy faces beside the conference table, not daring to sit down.

"I’ve said it before, driving us out of these waters would definitely lead to revenge. I told you to strengthen the defenses, what kind of strengthening is this? Freedom City, dozens of businesses, warehouses, all burned to ash!"

The rotating CEO of the company, John Robert, also the current Sect Hierarch of the Empire where the sun never sets, sat alone in the chairperson’s seat, his cold gaze sweeping over those present.

With a serious expression and a weighty tone, looking at the 3D projection in front of him, he sighed at last, "Now, my East Atlantic Company has suffered severe losses, do none of you have anything to say?"

Speak?

"What are you saying?"

Everyone present was, if not a head of a major corporation, at least a person with real power.

But now, facing John Robert, they all bowed their heads deeply.

"President, it’s not that we aren’t trying; it’s just that he’s too cunning! Even a powerful adversary like Wind Snake is no match for him, being dealt with after just a single encounter. This is something we didn’t expect."

"Didn’t expect?"

John Robert scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt: "Are you also going to say that not even the Red Knight can handle him, so we should just sit here and wait for death?"

"President, although our losses are heavy, the Primordial Stones transported from Resurrection Island are all packed at the Western Dock. We’ve dispatched the nearest cargo ship to transport the Primordial Stones as quickly as possible. This will keep our losses to a minimum."

The pragmatic Mei Chuannei immediately responded from the side.

As he said this, the representative from the Great Eagle Sauce Empire couldn’t help but smirk:

"Moreover, we’ve already sent the strongest guard forces to the Western Dock, and outside the dock, with our Great Eagle Sauce Empire’s most advanced technology, we have constructed a defense line. Sky and Earth Net, specifically designed to counter Cultivators. Even if it can’t stop that kid, we can at least delay his time."

"That’s right, as long as we can delay that kid, our cargo ships can transport even more Primordial Stones. And once the Red Knight catches up, hehe, that kid will be trapped with nowhere to go and will have only death awaiting him!"

In the conference room, a group of people laughed triumphantly, as if they had already doomed Lin Hao.

Upon hearing this, John Robert finally showed a pleased smile on his face.

"Good, but I still command that, no matter what, we must hold the defense line and stall that Lin Hao at the dock for the Red Knight to claim his head. Also, this Lin Hao is extremely cunning, and since the Red Knight’s guard has been annihilated, send him a chariot immediately. What kind of Knight would he be without a mount? With the chariot, the Red Knight’s strength will surely double."

John Robert paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and his brows furrowed tightly: "Additionally, that Cultivator is capable of releasing strange flames..."

"I have already investigated it." Mei Chuannei said from the side before John could finish: "That is the Samadhi True Fire, indeed a rarity in this world. However, records say, although the flame is powerful, its release requires a vast amount of power. Not only does it consume greatly, but the human body can’t withstand releasing it continuously. That person can’t possibly maintain the use of such flames."

"Heh, even if he can release it, what of it? Our Great Eagle Sauce Empire’s most advanced technological defense line can withstand the burning of such flames. Our specially manufactured materials, blessed by the five elemental energies of water, wood, metal, fire, and earth, are impervious to both water and fire, impenetrable by blade and spear!" The representative of the Eagle chuckled with pride.

At his laughter, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter as well.

"Good, very good! This time, I want to see how Lin Hao deals with this! Tell them, at all costs, to hold the defense line. If anyone kills Lin Hao, the President will reward them handsomely!"

Sky and Earth Net was finally laid down at the Western Dock, just waiting for Lin Hao to arrive.

At this moment, the Western Dock was already gathered with thousands of guards from the East Atlantic Company.

All armed and equipped with weapons that combined technology and God Cultivation, each of them watched nervously in the direction of Freedom City.

Thinking about the imminent confrontation with the demon who had destroyed half of Freedom City sent chills down the guards’ spines.

"He’s coming!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and fear seized the entire dock.
