The first group Lu Li dealt with were the armed men who arrived at the main gate in pickup trucks.
Most of these people were carrying AKs and dressed in various styles, but they all wore the same type of "tactical bulletproof vests".
His attire and demeanor are very similar to those of the armed personnel under "Prince Lucardo," suggesting he is a professional soldier recruited by the drug lord.
At this moment, they pressed towards the hotel's main entrance, their expressions quite relaxed.
There were more than 400 people from several sides, but the target only had about 10 armed personnel and no heavy firepower.
"This battle will be over in 10 minutes!"
"Capture that bitch and her daughter alive! Skin them alive!"
As the group was having this idea, they suddenly heard a sharp, whistling sound!
This was the sound of an alloy sword piercing the air; the next second, seven black shadows plowed through the entire team.
Flesh and blood cannot even withstand steel, let alone hard alloys.
The sounds of flesh and blood exploding rang out one after another, and many people were walking along when something pierced through their bodies.
The sight of dozens of people spitting blood at the same time was truly spectacular.
The group of armed men stared blankly for a few seconds at the gaping wounds and holes that had suddenly appeared on their bodies and those of their comrades, before collapsing into pools of blood with bewildered expressions.
A few who weren't seriously injured screamed in terror.
"What the hell is that?!"
"It's Death's scythe! Death chopped off my arm!"
Seven alloy swords whistled and danced, like butterflies flitting among flowers, romantically and rapidly plundering human bodies, sending up a shower of severed limbs, blood, and screams.
Through mental analysis, Lu Li felt that it was about as difficult as cutting a watermelon.
Its flight speed of 300 meters per second is inferior to that of Fan Shouyi's peach wood flying sword.
This is because it hasn't been "Enlighten Spirit" yet; the alloy sword is merely a [sacrificial vessel].
"Killing these 400 people should be enough!"
In no more than a minute, all 100 enemies at the main gate had been killed.
The streets were littered with corpses, and blood stained the roads.
With a thought, Lu Li his flying sword flying eastward, while his phone flew back.
As darkness fell, we had enough footage; there was no need to shoot any more.
~~~~~~~~~~
The armed men to the east of the hotel had just approached within 300 meters of the hotel.
Their main task was to prevent the target from escaping, so they were not in a hurry to advance, but instead occupied various high ground positions.
But just then, they also heard that sharp, piercing sound!
"A mortar!?"
An old soldier standing on the rooftop instinctively lay down on the ground, then realized something was wrong and looked up at the sky in confusion...
With a whoosh, his head was severed by the Dragon Spring Sword and flew away to who knows where.
The other flying swords also yielded results; several headless corpses fell from the rooftop and landed on the ground with a thud.
Panic-filled screams and shouts erupted, drowning out the sound of the flying sword cutting through the air.
Before many people could even react to what was happening, large holes would suddenly appear in their bodies, or deep gashes would be ripped open, gushing out warm, foul-smelling blood.
Some people screamed in terror and fired wildly with their guns, but how could they possibly hit anyone? The next second, they were slashed across the neck by the "Spiral Triangular Sword," and blood spurted out seven or eight meters away.
The scene grew increasingly chaotic, with the flying swords calmly piercing through target after target.
"In the face of extraordinary power, ordinary people are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter."
Lu Li sighed and activated the Kunlun Mirror's [Soul Extraction] Divine Ability.
~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, in the hotel.
Everyone peered nervously through the cracks in the window, while only a few women sat quietly.
Aurora handed an M4 rifle to "Number 0".
Number "0" stared at her for a few seconds with his masked and sunglasses-wearing head before taking it from her.
Aurora, already used to the man's taciturn nature, shrugged and went to the window to observe as well.
But aside from the darkness and the bewildering architecture, there was nothing of value.
Gradually, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from tense to puzzled.
No gunshots?
The drug cartel's forces haven't arrived, and there's been no sound of fierce fighting; something's very wrong.
Lieutenant Reyes, holding a G36 rifle, examined it through a 4x scope and said:
"I think I saw someone get shot by a heavy-duty sniper rifle, what about you guys?"
One of his team members replied, "The light is too dim; we can't see very well."
Aurora asked directly through her headset, "Lu Li, how's the situation? Do we need reinforcements?"
[No need, everything is under control]
Everyone heard a cacophony of screams and cries coming from the channel, presumably because they were busy.
At that moment, the long-absent gunfire finally erupted, coming from behind the hotel.
Everyone looked over and vaguely saw armed men fleeing. A figure in a suit chased after them and executed them one by one in close combat.
"It seems to be Mr. Lu's attendant?"
Everyone glanced at "Number 0" instinctively and swallowed hard.
In just a short while, it became completely quiet outside.
Mercenary leader Joey asked in disbelief, "Over 400 enemies... Could he be hiding multiple special operations teams?!"
No one can answer this question, but everyone has their own guesses.
Ms. Maria stood up and said with a smile:
"Crisis over, everyone back to your posts. Aurora, you'll handle the cleanup. Teresa, Donnie, David, let's discuss the next steps."
"..."
After exchanging bewildered glances, the group quickly began to follow the lady's instructions.
But he was still glancing out the window, intentionally or unintentionally...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, Lu Li had just finished dealing with the last drug lord's armed forces.
These men received a radio warning from their companions and attempted to escape.
Lu Li, along with A'da, pursued them relentlessly. When there were less than 10 enemies left, he had A'da remove his disguise and execute them as the Terminator.
Lu Li used his mind to control his phone and took pictures of everything, intending to use them as material to gather "wisdom".
He was very curious: could a puppet be transformed into a [sacrificial artifact], and then into a magical treasure?
If feasible, what changes would it bring?
"The deeper one's cultivation level, the more complex things become in all aspects."
Lu Li sighed for a moment, then opened the box.
Like swallows returning to their nests, the flying swords fell in one after another, lining up neatly.
After the carnage, they were saturated with blood, and the eerie blue light on their bodies flickered erratically, like a heartbeat.
"It seems to have reached a critical point, undergoing some kind of transformation..."
Controlling seven flying swords this time had taken a toll on Lu Li, so he didn't linger outside and returned to the hotel with his belongings.
~~~~~~~
This time, the way everyone looked at them was clearly different.
Joey glanced at A'da and concluded that Lu Li was a powerful PMC military contractor with several small teams operating in the shadows.
Reyes and Aurora shared similar thoughts.
The campaign staff looked on with awe and understood more deeply why the lady valued Lu Li so much, and even offered Miss Teresa to win her over.
Ms. Maria, on the other hand, had never been to the battlefield and didn't know much about combat; she only knew that she hadn't misjudged the situation!
She whispered in her daughter's ear, "You're free to do whatever you want tonight. You don't need to attend the meetings or come back to sleep."
