When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. After the physical body perishes, the Divine Soul is like a wisp of smoke, which will soon vanish into nothingness.
Lu Li immediately understood why the previous Soul Extraction had failed.
At that moment, a voice came from the walkie-talkie on the corpse:
What happened?
[Team One, Team Two, report the enemy numbers immediately!]
The teammates tried to get information, but unfortunately, there was no one left alive to respond.
On the contrary, Lu Li his Heavenly Eye, and the enemies inside the "Scrap Processing Center" were clearly visible.
This place sounds like a junkyard at first glance, but it's actually a large, legitimate factory.
The factory area is neatly equipped with forklifts, trucks, and other construction machinery.
The main building is a steel-structured factory building, almost the size of a football field, and the enemy is basically all inside it.
The two groups lost contact instantly, and the remaining enemy chose to defend the fortified factory buildings.
Through his Heavenly Eye, Lu Li saw everything clearly and commanded the "Metal Giant Hand" to charge in.
The armed men protecting Lucardo were far more skilled in combat than the drug traffickers.
They had already occupied advantageous positions inside the factory, waiting for the enemy to come to them.
They thought they had been ambushed by a Special Forces, but they were not afraid at all.
Not long ago, they were also members of a Special Forces and had undergone rigorous training.
But now it has become a weapon in the hands of drug lords!
One of the leaders, wearing a beret, spoke through a walkie-talkie:
[Guys, the SWAT team will be here in 20 minutes, at a cost of $2 million. But I want us to split that money among ourselves, understand?]
[Understood, sir!]
The crowd's morale soared, but the next second...
They were completely dumbfounded!
A Metal Giant Hand flew in through the main entrance!
The professionally trained soldiers reacted quickly, instantly suppressing their surprise and unleashing a barrage of fire at the hovering sniper.
Gunfire erupted from AKs, G36s, and even PKM light machine guns!
Countless spent cartridges were ejected from the gun, falling to the ground with a clattering sound like rain.
The beret-wearing leader also brandished an HK416 and opened fire wildly, but the expression on his face gradually turned to horror!
"This damn thing is a high-hardness alloy, bullets are useless! Use heavy firepower! Heavy firepower!"
The man realized what was happening before he had even finished firing a magazine, and the giant hand was indeed unharmed.
Before they could even prepare their heavy firepower, Lu Li had already made a thought and controlled the giant hand to shoot out metal balls!
This was a new trick that Lu Li came up with on the spot, and it worked quite well.
A Titanium alloy ball with a diameter of 5 centimeters was shot at the leader wearing a beret at a speed of 150 meters per second.
With a muffled thud, the man's skull exploded, and his beret, covered in red and white debris, flew off and stuck to the wall.
Immediately afterwards, a bearded man wielding a PKM machine gun was shot in the chest and flew backward, spitting out blood clots.
The crowd panicked and fired wildly, bullets raining down in all directions.
Some bounce off metal and ricochet back and forth.
If Lu Li were here, he would most likely get shot.
But he didn't even come in!
He was standing outside the factory, using a combination of vision and Heavenly Eye to control the giant hand to kill enemies, and he was perfectly safe.
With the terrifying whooshing sound of the metal ball, the gunfire inside the factory gradually ceased.
Two squads, 30 enemies, were all killed in less than a minute.
Once the situation was safe, Lu Li entered. While Soul Extraction, he simultaneously summarized his experience:
"Mental strength is limited. This method is more cost-effective for dealing with mortals; there's no need to flatten them."
"As my cultivation level increases, the metal sphere that makes up the spell will definitely have to grow larger. At that time, this giant hand will truly be able to blot out the sky and the sun."
"However, 5 centimeters is currently the most useful."
The "Metal Giant Hand" hovered in mid-air, silently watching its owner busy at work.
At that moment, the walkie-talkie on the leader's corpse crackled to life:
[I am Lucardo, what happened? How many enemies have arrived!]
Lu Li picked up the walkie-talkie, pressed the call button, and said:
"There is only one enemy: Prince Lucardo."
Benjamin was like an uncrowned king of the North, so the common people called his son "Prince".
[Who are you!]
"We'll meet soon, and then you'll see."
Discarding the walkie-talkie, Lu Li continued forward.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's rewind a few minutes.
Inside the briquetting machine workshop, Teresa and her daughter were already tied to the conveyor belt.
At the end of the conveyor belt is the "press," which presses metal into discs, including people.
This thing has large, dark marks on it, clearly indicating that it has run over quite a few people.
Lucardo mounted a phone on a stand, turned on the camera, pointed it at them, and said with a smile:
"The live stream has started. You might consider having a laugh."
Maria whispered to comfort her daughter, "Don't be afraid, Mommy will always be by your side."
Teresa sobbed, "I'm not afraid, I love you, Mom."
"That's really touching," Lucardo said, smoothing his long hair.
"Well then, future President, let's begin!"
He was about to press the switch on the machine when suddenly gunshots rang out from outside.
The gunfire intensified and grew closer, clearly indicating that something serious had happened.
Lucardo frowned and picked up the walkie-talkie, about to ask what had happened.
But then came a series of shrill screams from inside, followed by Lu Li's voice!?
Teresa recognized the name immediately, but couldn't quite place it. Yet, it undoubtedly ignited a spark of hope within her!
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, waiting anxiously.
Lucardo took out his phone again, first contacting the SWAT team, and said bluntly:
"You bunch of sons of bitches, get over here right now! Otherwise, you won't get a single penny!"
Then, in a particularly respectful tone, he called another person:
"Mr. Simon, I need help. Please send my father's bodyguards immediately!"
After making the phone call, Lucardo tied his long hair up with a hair tie.
Then, to the astonishment of the mother and daughter, a wheeled base was dragged out from the corner of the workshop.
And on this base, a Browning M2 heavy machine gun was clearly fixed!
The gun is enormous, measuring a full 1.7 meters in length.
The few 12.7mm bullets that were exposed were even longer than a middle finger!
This gun is primarily used to attack lightly armored targets, such as Armored Vehicle and helicopters.
If it were a fight, it could really smash someone to pieces!
At that moment, the sound of gunfire outside was almost within reach, along with the loud bangs of grenade explosions that sent dust flying from the roof.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the mother and daughter, Lucardo pushed the heavy machine gun toward the heart of the battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this point, the external situation had completely collapsed.
A terrifying "Metal Giant Hand" floated overhead, continuously firing metal balls to slaughter.
After killing someone, the metal ball, still covered in blood, flies back and becomes part of the giant hand once more.
After several rounds, the giant, silver-gray hand was almost turning dark red!
"This is the hand of the devil!"
"It's the spirits of those who died here seeking revenge!"
This terrifying and bizarre scene completely demoralized the militants, who fled in panic.
But mortals are no match for the magic's power, and they are killed one after another by the metal balls shot from the giant hand.
Some clever creatures hide in the scrap heaps, but they have nowhere to hide from the Heavenly Eye.
With a single slap from the giant hand, the person became indistinguishable from a piece of junk.
Lu Li followed leisurely behind, completely untouched by worldly affairs.
Such elegance and composure are the proper fighting style for Cultivator.
Just as the enemy was about to be completely wiped out, a strange noise suddenly rang out in the arena... like the sound of an electric pick on a construction site.
It was Lucardo who opened fire with the heavy machine gun!
