Chapter 490, Fatal Assassination

Chapter 490, Fatal Assassination
There was a violent explosion in the limousine. The vehicle was torn apart instantly and debris flew everywhere.

But among the flames and debris, a blue ball of light flew out, and it was naturally Gu Hang who was wearing a psychic shield.

With his full strength, he is not so easy to kill.

The assassin apparently didn't give up either. In their assassination of Gu Hang, in addition to the extremely penetrating poisonous bullet at the beginning and the high-explosive bullets fired one after another, they also had people around to deal with the aftermath.

I saw four people wearing optical camouflage suddenly taking action. They were almost invisible before. Not only did the optical camouflage make them visually invisible, but they also had all kinds of methods such as deodorization, thermal energy masking, and psychic shielding.

In their complete stillness, almost no one can detect them.

Even if they take action now and do it very quickly and the effectiveness of various camouflage equipment is greatly reduced, it is still difficult to catch them.

Of these four people, one shot was fired by each one.

The target was not pointed directly at Gu Hang, but rather towards the open space around him.

Four dark green silk threads were connected to each other from the shooting location, and instantly became a dense network.

Gu Hang suddenly felt a strong spiritual suppression.

The targeted feeling is full.

These assassins knew a lot about him and knew that he was a powerful psyker. Even though Gu Hang must have put on a black stone bracelet when he entered the Terra Palace, they still prepared more powerful psychic suppression methods, just to avoid the first wave of assassination attacks and fail to complete the task, and then make up for it. knife.

This wave of offensive is really fierce.

They had made it clear that they were here for the top psykers, and even though Gu Hang showed off his alpha-level psychic power by tearing open the subspace rift, he still couldn't break free.

The psychic shield on his body flashed twice and was on the verge of disintegration. The explosion of fireworks from the limousine covered his body again; he could not even maintain his flying attitude and almost fell into the fire again.

Seeing that the next fatal blows would follow, Gu Hang had only one last move left.

He hid in the warp.

The Forbidden Demon Web suppressed psychic energy, but it was not able to completely close the crack in the subspace. Gu Hang was able to slip in.

The others are no longer in the real world, so all the attacks will naturally fail.

But Gu Hang couldn't stay in his Kingdom of Storms for too long. He counted silently in his mind for a few seconds, and at the same time, he called for power in the Kingdom of God, and thunder joined in, forming a lightning shield, and then he went out again.

These powers brought out from the subspace will still be suppressed by the forbidden demon web, but they will not dissipate immediately and can have a protective effect.

It's a pity that the rift in the subspace is wherever it opens. Gu Hang can't immediately tear a hole and get out from somewhere else, otherwise he can just flash out.

When his head popped up again, Gu Hang felt the heat coming on.

This is not the flames caused by the explosion of the courtesy car, but the hot melt!

In those few seconds when they lost their target, the assassins did nothing! They directly used melt weapons to cover the area where Gu Hang was.

If Gu Hang didn't have this layer of thunder protection on his body, he would probably be burned when he came out.

But the good news is that Gu Hang felt that the intensity of psychic suppression had been greatly reduced.

Looking up again, he saw that one of the four assassins who had taken action had fallen into a pool of blood. The invisibility cloak on his body was still working, but it couldn't stop the blood from flowing out, staining him bright red.

It was La Crocha who killed this assassin.

Gu Hang did not come alone to Holy Terra this time.

That is not consistent with his status as a powerful leader of local forces. In fact, he had an entire team serving him on the ship he came from. This includes a life team responsible for his daily life, including a whole team of secretaries to assist him in his work. He would still have star language calls with the Tianma Star District from time to time to guide the overall development direction of the alliance. The level of the astrology tower on the Flying Wing Star is not low, and Gu Hang's ship also has a high-level ship-based astrology tower. Coupled with his own powerful psychic level and increasingly proficient astrology communication skills, he has already It is possible to establish a stable call route with Feiyixing in about an hour.

In addition to these daily life and clerical secretaries, Gu Hang also brought a team of bodyguards.

At the time of departure, Chapter Commander Martins had proposed to send an elite company of veterans to take charge of Gu Hang's security. However, this proposal was rejected by Gu Hang.

A little high-profile and eye-catching.

Instead, Gu Hang assembled some experts in the newly formed 'Glory Guards Regiment'.

All members are wearing the 'Samurai God' power armor. Not only have all members been trained to the T1 level, but they have also been enlightened in the [Hero] template.

The combat strength of these Glory Guards can basically equal or even slightly surpass the Space Marine recruits in single combat. If you really meet a veteran, you can make a few gestures.

In addition, a small group of members from the Storm Mage Group also came.

Apart from the Phoenix Chapter, they were already the highest level among the organized troops under Gu Hang.

La Crocha is one of the best. This man who has won the League's Hero Medal is almost the first combat hero to receive enlightenment. While wearing power armor, his personal strength is now even better than that of the Phoenix veteran.

Of course, this is almost the upper limit of a normal mortal. Even with the blessing of the [Hero] template, it is impossible to increase it higher. La Crocha is a mortal, and the feedback power armor is different from the real Space Marine power armor. In terms of hard conditions, he cannot catch up with a Space Marine. What he can rely on is his powerful fighting skills and excellent fighting wisdom.

At this time, La Crocha tried his best to bring these things into full play.

When Gu Hang took the limousine car to the General Star Platform, La Crocia, as a bodyguard, also led two teams of soldiers in four floating vehicles and followed Gu Hang's limousine car.

The moment Gu Hang was attacked, the elite soldiers had already reacted.

La Crocha is particularly swift.

The main goal of those four assassins was to deal with Gu Hang, and they were slightly inadequate in dealing with Gu Hang's bodyguards.

Moreover, in terms of objective conditions, there is a huge difference in the frontal combat capabilities of the two sides. The equipment on the assassin is obviously very sophisticated and expensive, but the main skill points are placed on concealing himself. As for physical bonuses and protective abilities, which are the attributes needed for a head-on confrontation, they are definitely not enough.

At least it's not as good as the serious feedback powered armor 'Samurai God'.

Moreover, they obviously did not expect that the bodyguards around Gu Hang, who were just mortals, would have such strong combat effectiveness.

Especially La Crocha.

After he quickly got out of the car, the finely crafted bolt gun in his hand sent multiple explosive bombs to an assassin with extreme accuracy.

The assassins were surprised to find that their disguises had little effect.

However, the postures of these assassins are also extremely flexible and exquisite. The one targeted by La Crocha was caught off guard and injured, but he was still able to dodge. Of course he couldn't dodge the bullets, but he could catch La Crocha's shooting rhythm and predict the dodge in advance.

However, this was still within LaCrocha's expectations.

He kept running while shooting, and his shooting also forced the assassin's dodge route to get closer to him. As they rushed in both directions, the distance between the two quickly narrowed.

Of course the assassin was aware of this, but was not afraid.

La Crocha's shooting skills were beyond his imagination. He was eager to get into a close combat. Even if he couldn't defeat him quickly, he could still entangle this bodyguard whose strength was beyond expectation and delay as much time as possible for his teammates.

The powerful camouflage coat, as well as the extremely outstanding body skills and flexibility, make its posture look like dancing. This kind of technology and skills obtained from a certain people called [Spirit Race] can be used to a certain extent by these assassins who have undergone special human body modification.

During the dance, he only saw a flash of sword light, and his body was cut into two parts diagonally.

The finely crafted power sword in La Crocha's hand was like lightning, making it impossible for him to avoid it. His Eldar war dance seemed to have no effect at all.

The assassin's eyes were still full of surprise, seeming to tell him that he didn't understand why this man's eyes were so vicious and why his sword was so fast. It was even more outrageous than the Space Marines he had ever seen.

But LaCrocha wouldn't give him any answers.

He was extremely anxious at the moment, and the bolt gun in his hand was already firing at another assassin.

And this was the scene Gu Hang saw when he came out of the Kingdom of Storm God again.

After an assassin died, the magic-forbidden web that blocked Gu Hang's space suddenly became unstable.

At least, not an Alpha-level psyker.

Gu Hang, who had lost his restraints, put up a psychic shield to replace the lightning protection that could withstand the melt temperature, rushed out of the melt area, called for thunder, and locked onto the two assassins. Thunder fell out of thin air, killing the two assassins who had realized that their mission had failed. And the last one was specially left by Gu Hang.

He tried to stay alive, but psychic powers seized upon the assassin.

When the forbidden magic web completely collapsed, Gu Hang could control every inch of muscle on that guy's body, making sure that he couldn't make any movement.

However, a moment later, the assassin died.

There seemed to be some kind of special mechanism in his body. When Gu Hang controlled it, it was automatically triggered, wiping out his life from the inside.

Putting down the corpse, Gu Hang looked into the distance.

That was the direction from which the first two sniper bullets came.

There were five assassins in total.

Gu Hang looked in another direction and saw three golden lights approaching rapidly. That was the Imperial Army riding a hoverbike.

Within the Palace of Terra, there is no doubt that it is the territory of the Emperor's Custodes, who are solely responsible for the security of the Palace of Terra.

The Palace of Terra is certainly not a completely safe place. As the core of the empire's power field, there are always many assassinations and coups. But the vast majority of assassinations are carried out covertly. The poison, the dagger in the secret, and the silent bullet that came from nowhere disappeared quietly after being done, leaving only a corpse.

In this case, the Forbidden Army doesn't care.

What exactly are the Emperor's Custodes guarding in the Palace of Terra? No one knows, but they are not defending the high lords, let alone ordinary imperial officials.

But who turned the assassination against Gu Hang into a violent killing?
The first bullet met the definition of assassination. The sniper hiding in the dark fired a deadly and silent bullet. If he succeeds, Gu Hang will be like the countless high-ranking imperial officials who died in the Terra Palace covering the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. No matter how many storms will happen in the future, it has nothing to do with the dead.

But that bullet failed, the second bullet that destroyed the entire limousine also failed, and the four more masters who ambush also failed.

The movement became louder and louder.

The Custodes can ignore silent assassinations, but explosions and thundering bolters cannot.

What's more, there was such a powerful and unrecorded psychic reaction!

It's not like there are no psykers in the palace who don't wear black stone bracelets. After all, there are still some psychic devices in the palace that need maintenance. Especially the Star Tower Cluster and the Imperial Star Torch.

However, those who can legally use psychic powers within the Terra Palace are all licensed and registered.

And what is happening now is definitely not registered.

The reaction of the Imperial Army has been very fast. From the beginning of the assassination operation to now, it has only been two minutes. The Custodes were almost there.

Do you want to trust these Custodes?

Gu Hang hesitated for a moment, then his body turned into a bolt of lightning and headed towards the previous sniper's position.

The man also retreated and activated his invisibility method with all his strength. However, Gu Hang, furious, still found it and once again used his spiritual power to try to control it.

This time, he changed his approach. Controlling the body will trigger suicide. What about replacing it with soul spikes and knocking it out?
Not at all.

The mechanism of self-understanding still occurs.

Gu Hang could only regretfully take the body back to the crime scene.

At this moment, the three Emperor's Imperial Guards also arrived.

They were confronting the Guards of Glory led by La Crocha, and were loudly ordered to put down their weapons. Of course it was impossible for La Crocha and the others to surrender their weapons so easily, and they were arguing about something.

Gu Hang quickly asked La Crocia to obey.

What do you want to do with the Forbidden Army?
No matter how hard you push, these golden-armored corn spirits will not show mercy.

With Gu Hang's order, La Crocia and others put down their weapons.

However, the three Imperial Guards did not relax their vigilance. All of their eyes were fixed on Gu Hang.

They saw the broken black stone bracelet on Gu Hang's wrist and looked very surprised and afraid.

Being able to break free from the black stone bracelet is definitely not a level that Gu Hang's registered A-level psyker can achieve. In fact, even S-level is not good, you have to be Alpha to reach this level.

However, Alpha-level psychic energy cannot be stably controlled by humans, and Alpha-level psychics are unstable beings.

But Gu Hang didn't seem to have any such signs.

Although the psychic power in his body at this moment looks great, it does not reach the Alpha level.

The Imperial Guards did not dare to be careless. The leader ordered Gu Hang: "Stop all resistance and accept our investigation."

"Of course." Gu Hang cooperated and dissipated his psychic power.

However, when the forbidden soldier stepped forward, Gu Hang also took a step back.

He said: "No offense, but I just faced an assassination. I will not ask why there were such big flaws in the security work in the palace, but please forgive me for being careful. How can I be sure that you are really the Forbidden Army? Rather than a fake one?"

"You have no right to resist."

These golden corn essences are really powerful.

But Gu Hang didn't intend to confront them head-on.

"I will not violate your rules and will cooperate with your investigation. I have no intention of resisting, but please consider my proposal: let us all wait here. There is so much movement here, the news should have spread throughout. When more people come, we should get the whole thing out."

At this point, Gu Hang paused for a moment, not intending to be weak to the end, and showed a bit of toughness: "Otherwise, I can only think that you and the assassin are in the same group."

As expected, the Imperial Guard hesitated.

"Stop here, no one present is allowed to leave!"

"Of course, I have no intention of leaving."

……

After that, Gu Hang, La Crocia, a group of guards, and the three forbidden soldiers looked at each other in silence, waiting in silence.

The three Imperial Guards called for support from a higher level, but Gu Hang didn't have to do anything. The distance from here to the General Star Platform was actually very close, and the other side must know what happened here.

While waiting, Gu Hang's mind was spinning rapidly. He was thinking about the current situation and how it would evolve in the future.

There was no doubt that Gu Hang was under a fatal threat this time. The Assassin's Court's actions were fierce enough and were completely planned to assassinate a controllable Alpha level psyker.

This is already a very outrageous arrangement. On the surface, Gu Hang's psychic strength is A level. Although as long as you have some good intelligence and know his deeds in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, you will know that he is not just A. But the most I can guess is that he is S, or S+, no more.

Alpha level psykers are not controllable, this is an iron rule.

However, the Assassin Court still treated Gu Hang according to the Alpha level, which could be said to be overly cautious.

If Gu Hang was really an ordinary Alpha-class, he would have died from the combination of the third wave of the magic-suppressing web and the heat-melt.

Is this the ultimate level of the Assassin's Court?
Obviously not. If they wanted to, they could organize many similar operations, even more threatening ones. Can Gu Hang withstand the assassination attempt twice or countless times by the Assassin Court?
impossible.
