Hunter Hawk frowned, and his peripheral vision glanced at Wind Falcon beside him. “Wind Falcon, go and take the password box. I’ll deal with this old man alone.”
“Yes, Captain,” Wind Falcon replied. With a light tap of his toes, his figure floated up and then swiftly dashed towards the fallen helicopter.
Seeing this, Brayden launched another Heaven-Sealing Eight Trigram Palm, aiming it at Wind Falcon.
However, Wind Falcon easily evaded it, surpassing Brayden.
“Courting death!” Brayden’s eyes widened, and his profound internal energy surged. He was about to chase after Wind Falcon when a fierce scarlet flame sword came slashing towards him.
Brayden’s expression changed, and he swiftly sidestepped, avoiding the flame sword.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Hunter Hawk unleashed a series of extremely fierce attacks against Brayden, entangling him and preventing him from pursuing Wind Falcon.
With a tap of his toes, Wind Falcon’s figure flickered, quickly approaching the helicopter.
“Stop him!” Paxton’s pupils contracted, and he shouted sharply.
Upon hearing Paxton’s command, several soldiers wielding blades stood in front of the helicopter, swinging their blades towards Wind Falcon.
“Hmph, dare to block my path, die!” Wind Falcon snorted coldly. The wind element condensed in front of him, transforming into sharp wind blades that slashed towards the soldiers.
Splatter!
The wind blades cut through the bodies of the five or six soldiers, causing blood to spurt out. Two of them had their throats severed and fell to the ground, lifeless.
The special forces soldiers were still quite formidable. Even though they knew they were no match for an Esper, those who witnessed their comrades fall still fearlessly tried to obstruct Wind Falcon’s advance.
“Die, you ants!”
Wind Falcon’s face turned icy, and the wind element surged from within him, transforming into numerous wind blades that slashed towards the special forces soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen special forces soldiers lay in pools of their own blood on the ground.
The air was immediately filled with a strong smell of blood.
Seeing the heavy casualties among his men, Paxton’s eyes turned red.
“You bastard, I’ll kill you!” Paxton’s face contorted with rage. His clothes ripped apart, revealing his well-built muscles.
During his childhood, Paxton had practiced martial arts from an external family, and his combat power was equivalent to a Martial Cultivator’s Warrior.
Paxton clenched his fist, and a faint silver light flickered above his right fist as he launched a punch towards Wind Falcon.
Wind Falcon’s gaze sharpened, and he moved even faster. He kicked Paxton in the abdomen.
Paxton’s body was instantly sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.
“Paxton!” Zeke, the political commissar, paled, hastily running towards Paxton.
“Hmph, overestimating yourself.” Wind Falcon glanced at the airborne Paxton, snorting coldly.
In the next moment, Wind Falcon’s figure flashed, and he arrived in front of the helicopter.
Pushing aside the two soldiers who had already lost consciousness inside the cabin, Wind Falcon found the password box between them.
“Hehe, got it.” A smile appeared on Wind Falcon’s lips.
Jax and Ian’s faces turned pale when they saw the password box being taken away.
Although Paxton had suffered a heavy blow, his resilience from practicing external martial arts prevented him from sustaining significant injuries. Only a trace of blood oozed from his mouth.
“I’m fine, Zeke. We must not let him get that password box!” Paxton waved off Zeke’s support, his voice filled with urgency.
Seeing that Wind Falcon had already obtained the password box from the cabin, Paxton’s expression changed drastically. A silver light surged around his body as he rushed towards Wind Falcon.
“It seems you want to die!” Wind Falcon’s gaze turned cold.
Under Wind Falcon’s control, the wind element quickly gathered in front of him, forming a crescent-shaped wind blade.
As soon as the crescent wind blade took shape, it violently slashed towards Paxton.
The speed of the crescent wind blade was so fast that Paxton had no chance to evade. If it struck him, Paxton would undoubtedly meet his end.
In that instant, Paxton’s face turned deathly pale.
Whistle!
At this moment, a strange cry sounded in the night sky, followed by a silver figure swiftly descending from above.
Just as the crescent-shaped wind blade was about to slash Paxton, a figure flashed and stood in front of Paxton.
The figure simply extended a hand and lightly pinched the crescent-shaped wind blade.
The sharp wind blade, formed from the condensed wind element, disintegrated in the person’s hand, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
“Thanks for saving me,” Paxton said gratefully, looking at the person in front of him.
“Who are you?!” Wind Falcon’s eyes flickered with cold light as he stared at Leo.
Leo, however, only gave Wind Falcon a casual glance and ignored him. He slightly turned his body and said to Paxton, “No need to thank me. I arrived a bit late.”
Looking at the bodies of the fallen soldiers on the ground, Leo shook his head lightly. If he had arrived earlier, these soldiers wouldn’t have lost their lives.
“I understand now. You… You’re sent by Abel, Leo, Mr. Bloomer?”
This afternoon, Abel and Paxton had spoken on the phone, and Abel had mentioned that someone would come to help him deal with the attacking Espers tonight.
“Yes,” Leo nodded lightly.
The person before him, wearing the shoulder insignia of a Major General, was Paxton, the head of the special forces stationed in this valley, as Abel had told him.
“Kid, you’re seeking death!” Wind Falcon became enraged when this suddenly appearing person completely ignored him. “Serpent of Wind Blades!”
Although infuriated, Wind Falcon did not dare to underestimate the person who could easily crush his wind blade.
Against an opponent he couldn’t see through, he had to go all out.
Immediately, the wind element within Wind Falcon surged madly.
Wind blades formed one after another, converging in mid-air to create a giant snake measuring dozens of yards long.
“Die!” Wind Falcon sneered.
The enormous Wind Blade Serpent opened its giant mouth and swallowed fiercely towards Leo below.
“Mr. Bloomer, be careful!” Paxton’s expression changed dramatically as a strong sense of danger surged in his heart.
If he entered the mouth of that Wind Blade Serpent, he would undoubtedly be shredded by the sharp wind blades.
Leo simply glanced at the so-called Wind Blade Serpent, and with a gesture of his right hand, the Divine Dragon Sword appeared.
As the massive Wind Blade Serpent approached, Leo infused a portion of his Spiritual Power into the Divine Dragon Sword.
Suddenly, a clear dragon roar resounded, and a dazzling icy white light emanated from the Divine Dragon Sword. On the blade, a fierce sword aura was unleashed.
Leo’s gaze turned cold as he lifted his foot off the ground, levitating, and swung the Divine Dragon Sword down towards the head of the Wind Blade Serpent.
The seemingly overwhelmingly powerful Wind Blade Serpent instantly disintegrated under Leo’s sword, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
“It’s impossible! You actually shattered my Wind Blade Serpent with a single sword!” Wind Falcon’s face registered disbelief.
After all, the Wind Blade Serpent was one of Wind Falcon’s proudest techniques.
Leo’s gaze turned cold as he swept his eyes towards Wind Falcon. A tawny halo flashed, and Leo’s figure disappeared from the original spot.
Seeing Leo vanish, Wind Falcon’s face turned pale.
