Zhao Ruifeng's order instantly tensed the atmosphere in the Command Center.
The beeps of various instruments and devices rang out one after another, adding to the tension.
Meanwhile, at Jinge City's missile launch base, an operator rapidly tapped away at the control panel with both hands while reporting, "Coordinates entered. System self-check normal. Missile status good. Ready to launch at any time!"
Zhao Ruifeng's voice rang out through the communicator. "Launch!"
The operator immediately pressed the launch button.
On the ground.
With a boom, a missile rose from the launch shaft, making the earth tremble.
Inside the Command Center, Zhao Ruifeng and Bai Shaotang watched the giant screen. On it, they could see the missile codenamed "Jiaolong," its tail spewing orange-red flames as though a giant dragon were soaring into the sky.
After pausing briefly at its highest point, it accelerated away, slicing through the night sky and leaving behind a bright trail before vanishing into the endless darkness in the blink of an eye.
Soon, a second and then a third missile launched from the ground base in succession. The entire launch base was shrouded in flames and thick smoke, creating a spectacular scene.
At this moment, the giant screen switched to a satellite view.
Through the satellite footage, they could see the small town where the Blood Bank was located. Light suddenly flickered there, and then a figure abruptly expanded and rose higher.
The Sky Ghost!
The figure was a man clad in armor, with a single black wing spread behind him and a longsword in his hand.
Sword light suddenly flashed.
A streak of Cold Light tore through the night sky.
Then.
A spark suddenly lit up in the distant sky. It rapidly expanded, finally turning into a gigantic orange-yellow fireball.
A violent explosion. A world-shaking roar.
