The sky on the Tibetan Plateau was exceptionally blue, and the air was exceptionally fresh. The endless wilderness and grasslands left the two little ones mesmerized, almost forgetting that they were being abducted, and they couldn't help but jump for joy and scream.
“Drive slowly. This road is uneven and the ride is too bumpy for the children. If they suffer from severe altitude sickness, it could lead to pneumonia and kill them, and our mission will fail.”
The successor of King Arthur personally escorted the two children. Even in the off-road vehicle, he did not remove his heavy hood. His voice was still muffled, which made Nannan frown. However, she was also suddenly reminded that she and Lili were acting too calmly, which was not conducive to their disguise.
Thinking of this, Nannan immediately let out a soft cry of "Ouch!" and then held her breath, letting her little face turn red. "I feel awful. I'm going to die... Ahhhh!"
Xiao Guli, prompted by a suggestion, glanced at the girl putting on a show and quickly refrained from imitating her. Instead, he stared blankly and leaned limply against the cold iron armor beside him, looking so pitiful that it was hard not to feel sorry for him.
"Give them oxygen tanks."
King Arthur's command was concise and clear. Another Iron Knight beside him immediately took out two small oxygen devices from the storage box at the back of the carriage and roughly put them on the little ones' faces. This made Little Guli and Nannan furious, but they had no choice but to endure it. After all, they were not strong enough at the moment. They longed for extraordinary strength even more and decided that they must train hard after this incident so as not to experience such a frustrating thing again.
Xiao Guli and Nannan never doubted their eventual rescue. Although they knew from the beginning that Lin Yao had gone to sea for important matters and it would be difficult for him to come back to rescue them, their admiration and trust in Lin Yao had reached a blind level. No matter how unfavorable the situation was, they firmly believed that Lin Yao would suddenly appear, eliminate all the bad guys, and rescue them.
With this belief, Xiao Guli and Nannan acted with great fearlessness. Apart from the fearful look in their eyes required for acting and the snot and tears brought on by real pain, they felt no fear at all at this moment. They only felt hatred for how to torture the bad guys when they were going to settle scores later.
On a deserted road with no vehicles in sight, three SUVs were intercepted. Appearing in front of the SUVs were the First Elder Yi Potian, Yi Zuojun, and two elders from the Sun family, Sun Woxing and Sun Danran.
In the distance, a small biplane was slowly swaying in the sky, seeking a landing. Clearly, there was no suitable runway on this flat land, but the biplane was running out of fuel, and pursuing it to the vicinity of the border was its limit.
"Four Chinese Heavenly-level experts!"
The successor of King Arthur's voice was flat as he immediately pressed the communication device strapped to his left arm. "Two vampires will take the child away. The rest of you, unite to hold off the Chinese. Note that we don't need to kill the enemy, just hold them off for five minutes. The planes will arrive in five minutes. Begin the operation!"
Three Porsche SUVs exploded instantly, their roofs ripped off, and more than a dozen figures quickly appeared in the air, surrounding the four Heavenly-level experts from the Yi and Sun families. Two lightning-fast black shadows flashed by, and Xiao Guli and Nannan instantly found themselves being grabbed by the arms.
"Lili, do it!"
With a loud shout, Nannan immediately raised her hand to attack the black shadow rushing towards her. Xiao Guli also acted instantly. The tin man beside him was gone, and he directly picked up a small oxygen tank and smashed it at the large bat flying towards him.
Although their individual strength was weak, the two little guys had already developed sharp eyes in the villa in Beijing. Using a trace of nuclear power to protect their eyes could greatly enhance their vision. They had already become quite proficient in this rapid offensive and defensive technique while playing with Yi Zuojun, and it came in handy at this moment.
"Hehehe, I knew these two kids had 'human nuclear power' in their bodies, and it really is true."
The vampire charging towards Nannan let out a sinister laugh, spread its wings, ignored Nannan's attack, reached out and grabbed the little girl in its hand, and then instantly soared into the sky. "This ability is too weak, at most it's the level of an ordinary special forces soldier. To resist in front of a vampire duke is too presumptuous."
"Go to hell!"
Little Guli controlled the oxygen cylinder in his hand and smashed it towards the vampire duke who suddenly changed direction, startling the duke. The duke immediately reached out and grabbed the oxygen cylinder, and both of them stopped moving, as if the battle scene had suddenly frozen.
"Not bad, little guy! You have such strong skills. It doesn't matter if you don't have power yet. I will give you the Embrace later. Once you become my descendant, you will have power. You will definitely be the strongest vampire warrior."
"Greel! You are not allowed to touch these two children! Otherwise, the Knights of the Round Table will never let your vampire clan off the hook!"
The inheritor of King Arthur, who was confronting the Grand Elder Yi Potian, roared and used the sternest tone to stop the vampire duke who was controlling Little Guli.
Moving the child is a last resort. If possible, the whole of Europe would not want to be enemies with Lin Yao. After all, their goal is only to force him to reveal the formula for the special medicine. If Lin Yao's son, Chu Yong, is turned into a vampire, there will be no room for maneuver in the relationship between the two sides. Once Lin Yao goes berserk, perhaps the whole of Europe will perish because of it.
The Grand Elder Yi Potian went berserk. Although he couldn't understand bird language, Yi Zuojun had already used the "sound transmission" method to translate the vampire's words. At this moment, he could no longer hold back. Even though the Central Committee had instructed him to prioritize peace and not to actually cause any deaths, he couldn't help but lose his temper.
This happened so soon after the master set sail. If Xiao Guli becomes a vampire, the Yi family will have no face to continue existing in this world.
"Give me your life!"
Instantly gathering all the energy around him, Yi Potian attacked directly towards Xiao Guli and Nannan, completely forgetting Sun Woxing's earlier words about deterring and stabilizing these people.
An immense surge of energy rushed forth, the intensely compressed energy of heaven and earth forming a pale blue dragon that distorted the entire space. The inheritor of King Arthur could no longer think it through and immediately activated the immense energy sealed within the sword in the stone, raising the greatsword that shone with dazzling light and slashing at the blue dragon.
Sun Woxing cursed his bad luck, thinking that the vampire duke really didn't know what death meant, daring to embrace Lin Yao's son. Even if he thought that, he shouldn't have said it out loud. He could just wait for his clan to be wiped out.
Shaking his head, Sun Woxing immediately activated all his true energy, gathering the energy of heaven and earth to envelop himself and Yi Potian beside him, forming an absolute defense. At this moment, the attack of another Knight of the Round Table beside King Arthur also arrived, but Sun Woxing was not worried at all, and was very confident in his defensive power.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar, accompanied by a massive shockwave, swept in all directions. The ground between Yi Potian and King Arthur was blasted apart by the shockwave, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere. A huge crater, two meters square, appeared before everyone's eyes. The escaping shockwave, carrying countless grains of sand and gravel, rushed towards everyone present. Everyone hurriedly used their internal energy to defend themselves, their shock beyond words.
This was arguably the strongest attack clash between East and West, and the energy it unleashed instilled fear in everyone.
King Arthur retreated violently, tumbling more than a dozen times in the air before regaining his footing. A trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth indicated that he had suffered a minor injury. In contrast, Yi Potian remained unharmed, standing in place and glaring angrily at the kidnappers. Beside him, Sun Woxing maintained the incredibly defensive spherical space with a smiling face, resembling a Maitreya Buddha.
"King Arthur, I advise you to hand over the child to avoid damaging the harmony between us."
Sun Woxing's speech caused everyone to pause temporarily. Although the United Nations had the numerical advantage, the Chinese side was clearly superior in terms of actual strength. The alliance between the Yi family and the Sun family was at the Heavenly level, and there was almost no one in the world who could break it, except for the freak Lin Yao, of course.
If it weren't for the secret instructions from the Central Committee, Sun Wuxing would have loved to launch a direct attack and wipe out these bastards, lest they think that China is powerless and that they can run rampant on this land by uniting together.
With a ratio of four to twelve, even if there are still top-level Heavenly Ninjas hiding in the shadows, the two members of the Yi family and the two members of the Sun family can definitely wipe them out. Of course, the premise is that the enemy does not escape and that the two children are not used as hostages to threaten our side.
"Elder Sun, I'm sorry! We can't hand over the children. We must take them back to Europe this time. After Mr. Lin Yao returns to China, let him come to Europe as a guest. I guarantee that the two children will be unharmed."
King Arthur gave a chivalrous salute from afar, his right arm, held to his chest, bringing his Tin Man figure to life, as if he had transformed from a fleshless steel puppet into a highly refined gentleman.
Sun Woxing's smile vanished. He extended his index finger and waved it from side to side. "First, never be enraged or murderous; second, never betray; third, never be cruel, and forgive those who ask for forgiveness; fourth, always offer assistance to ladies; fifth, never coerce ladies; sixth, never get involved in a fight because of love or the power of words."
"Where have you all gone in adhering to these chivalric codes? The Twelve Knights of the Round Table have stooped so low as to become kidnappers and take hostages! Not to mention a lady, there's even a minor girl among the hostages. What about your faith? Have the heirs of King Arthur fallen to such a low level?"
The successor of King Arthur was startled and took three large steps back before stopping. He managed to say, "I'm sorry, but for the safety of all of Europe and for the continuation of all our people, we have no choice but to do this."
"Just fight them first! What's the point of arguing with them?"
The First Elder, Yi Potian, roared, stopping Sun Woxing from continuing, "Even if they had ten thousand lives, they wouldn't dare do anything to the two children, otherwise they'd better wait for the Master's revenge."
"The child has been kidnapped by vampires, and we can't catch up, but we can wipe out these little bastards!"
As soon as Yi Potian finished speaking, he immediately launched his long-awaited second attack. Yi Zuojun, who was also well-prepared, also launched his first attack of the day. Two azure dragons appeared again, charging towards the enemy in front of him with magnificent momentum.
Sun Woxing and Sun Danran had no choice but to put aside their thoughts and focus on providing defense and protection for the two Heavenly Realm experts of the Yi family. In their hearts, they had sentenced the dozen or so top ability users from various countries in front of them to death. Everyone knew that when the Yi family was fighting desperately, no one dared to challenge them. Unless these people released the hostages, they would definitely lose several people. In terms of pursuit speed, the four of them, who possessed numerous Level 4 nuclear powers, did not take these enemies seriously at all.
