Fifteen people appeared, all in military uniforms, but with stern expressions, as if someone owed them five million dollars, exactly that kind of look.
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Ten late-stage Small Zhou Tian, five special forces?"
The leader, with a rocket launcher on his shoulder, said, "Goddess Lin Na, hahaha, you've come right into our hands. If you had stayed in the capital city of Swan Country, I wouldn't have dared to touch you. But since you've left the city, come with us. We will treat you well."
Lin Na retorted angrily, "You wish!"
Ming Zhi Tian blocked her, "Don't come out."
Lin Na obediently retreated. Ming Zhi Tian looked at Luo She Li Si, "Lu S, you protect Lin Na. They are mine to handle."
Luo She Li Si hated it most when people called him "Lu S," which sounded like "loser." It was only slightly less offensive than when the Broly Sect Master called him that, but for a Chinese person like Ming Zhi Tian, it was intolerable. His face immediately turned dark.
Luo She Li Si snorted, "You protect the goddess. I'll go."
"You..." Before Ming Zhi Tian could speak, Luo She Li Si had already leaped forward.
"Open fire!" The soldiers immediately unleashed a barrage of gunfire and artillery!
Pistols, rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, they fired as if they were free.
Although Luo She Li Si was a peak Martial God cultivator, he was not an invincible being impervious to blades and bullets.
Even though he dodged steadily, he still suffered glancing blows from the explosive aftershocks of the shells and the gunpowder from the bullets.
Luo She Li Si's arms and legs were grazed, revealing thin lines of blood, but they were only superficial wounds.
He quickly took down the man with the machine gun, then the leader with the rocket launcher, eliminating all five special forces.
Then he was surrounded by ten late-stage Small Zhou Tian cultivators, which meant ten Martial King masters at the tenth stage.
Luo She Li Si struck first, but he was tossed around like a soccer ball, toyed with in their palms.
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't bear to watch any longer. Just as Luo She Li Si was about to be beaten into a pulp, he made his move.
"Lin Na, hide."
In the astonished expressions of the ten late-stage Small Zhou Tian soldiers, Ming Zhi Tian exploded one man's head with a punch and pierced another's abdomen with a kick, finishing them off instantly.
Luo She Li Si shivered. It was then he truly recognized the gap in strength between himself and Ming Zhi Tian. He realized that his previous contest in the dueling arena had made him look like a clown.
He fell to the ground, head bowed, not daring to speak. Ming Zhi Tian extended his hand, "Come, this place is not safe for long."
Luo She Li Si overcame his pride and took his hand. Ming Zhi Tian pulled him up. Lin Na emerged from behind the rocks, feeling an immense sense of gratitude towards Ming Zhi Tian for saving her.
Lin Na asked Luo She Li Si to return first. Luo She Li Si readily agreed, as he genuinely wished Ming Zhi Tian well and didn't care when he would return.
Lin Na extended her hand, "Mighty one from Huaxia, let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Kethra Wang Lin Na."
Ming Zhi Tian held her slender hand, which smelled fragrant. "Ming Zhi Tian."
Lin Na then linked her arm with his, "You haven't had the chance to admire the scenery of Swan Country, have you? Come, I'll take you on a tour as repayment for saving my life."
Ming Zhi Tian wanted to say something, but he remembered his promise to Broly to protect her for five days, and only two days had passed. So, he agreed.
In Swan Country, the grandest and most beautiful attraction is none other than [Swan Lake]. As the name suggests, it's where all the swans in the heavens gather. There are black, white, and multicolored swans, all of which are rare and precious.
Due to Lin Na's royal status as a goddess, she had access to tour the lake.
