Chapter 109 - 103: Demonic Suppression Operation

Chapter 109: Chapter 103: Demonic Suppression Operation

At the same time, a corner of the city suddenly burst into flames, illuminating half the sky.

"Quick! Put out the fire first!"

An urgent shout pierced through the tense air.

Inside the police station, all members of the action team quickly assembled.

Everyone’s face was marked by seriousness as they quietly awaited instructions from Chief Long Jiu.

Long Jiu, dressed in a smart uniform, spoke in a deep voice:

"The demon nest outside the city is at a critical moment, the situation is extremely tense, and we in the city police station cannot afford to drop the ball!"

He paused, his expression becoming even more solemn:

"Within the demon nest, some lower-ranked Celestial Demons have seized the opportunity as the barrier collapsed due to the clash of strong forces, secretly sneaking into the city.

Meanwhile, there are those from the Demon Path taking advantage of the chaos to kill, set fires, and commit evil freely in the city.

Now, the entire action department is mobilized, Martial Artists to eradicate Celestial Demons, martial warriors to arrest Demon Path individuals, operation code: [镇魔]!"

"Publicity Department, immediately contact Yong’an Radio Station to urge civilian martial artists to actively cooperate in combat."

"All other personnel are to be incorporated into the reserve team, standing by at all times, awaiting dispatch!"

...

In the police family residence, Meng Yongzhi’s phone rang abruptly.

He hurriedly answered the call, his face instantly becoming gravely serious, and without another word, he quickly donned his uniform and rushed out.

Xue Na intercepted him, her eyes full of worry:

"Yongzhi, it’s too dangerous this time, why not just don’t go."

"No way, the higher-ups have informed everyone to gather at the police station, it’s an order, I can’t disobey."

At this moment, Meng Chuan heard the commotion in the living room and stepped out quickly.

Meng Yongzhi reassured his wife:

"I’ve been assigned to the reserve team, just going to the police station to wait for orders, there won’t be any danger, don’t worry."

However, Xue Na was still full of worries, holding her husband’s hand tightly and refusing to let go.

Seeing the situation, Meng Chuan said calmly:

"Uncle, I’ll go with you."

At the same time, the TV in the living room was broadcasting Yong’an TV Station’s appeal to civilian martial artists to respond to the call and join the battle.

"You stay at home, don’t go anywhere!"

Although Meng Yongzhi knew Meng Chuan’s strength was formidable, he didn’t want him to go out and risk danger.

Meng Chuan continued:

"It’s okay Uncle, I have this, even a Celestial Demon can be slain."

Meng Chuan’s fists were enveloped by a layer of blackness, it was the [Steel Gauntlet].

Seeing the determination in Meng Chuan’s eyes, Meng Yongzhi sighed and said helplessly:

"Alright, let’s go to the police station first and talk later."

...

Inside the police station, Long Jiu looked at Meng Chuan in front of him, feeling gratified.

Meng Chuan said steadily:

"Chief Long Jiu, in this operation, will there be martial artists of the Demon Path at the Martial Artist level, or middle-ranked Celestial Demons?"

Meng Chuan was not reckless; if the enemy’s strength were far superior to his own, he would not force it.

Long Jiu replied:

"There definitely aren’t middle-ranked Celestial Demons, the barrier outside the city is still intact, only lower-ranked Celestial Demons have sneaked out through gaps, middle-ranked and above are blocked and can’t come out.

As for Demon Path strongmen at the Martial Artist level, they are all under comprehensive surveillance by the Sky Net, there’s absolutely no chance for them to hide, you needn’t worry about that."

Long Jiu paused before continuing:

"I’ll assign you to Captain Li Zhun’s squad; Captain Li is the premier Martial Artist, with him, your safety is well assured."

Upon hearing Long Jiu’s thorough arrangements, Meng Chuan felt assured and thanked him sincerely.

Long Jiu’s expression turned serious again, and he spoke:

"However, you must still be careful, there might be powerful ones slipping through the net mixing in.

Your talent is excellent, with limitless potential, bearing an even more important mission; you must not take things lightly."

Meng Chuan nodded solemnly, committing Long Jiu’s words to memory.

At this time, Li Zhun walked over from a distance, with a few strands of gray in his hair, exuding a composed and competent aura, looking very reassuring.

He walked straight to Meng Chuan, raising his hand to signal:

"Get in the car first; time is tight, we can discuss further on the way."

Meng Chuan nodded slightly, his gaze briefly pausing on Li Zhun.

He keenly sensed the significant energy beneath Li Zhun’s seemingly gentle exterior.

Just as Meng Chuan was quietly perceiving, Li Zhun also sensed something.

He paused his steps, looked at Meng Chuan, and said half jokingly:

"Your perception is quite sharp, but don’t use your perceptive ability at will going forward.

Some strong individuals are quite sensitive to such matters, you might inadvertently cause trouble."

Meng Chuan was alerted and said:

"Thanks for the reminder, Captain Li, I didn’t consider it well."

Li Zhun patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder and continued:

"Also, some strong individuals have highly adept concealment techniques to perfectly hide their aura.

In such situations, your perception might mislead you, so you can’t let your guard down."

Meng Chuan pondered:

"Thank you, Captain Li, I’ve learned."

Subsequently, Meng Chuan followed Li Zhun to a gray Jeep.

Meng Chuan opened the door and slid into the back seat, only to find that while the interior seemed spacious -- configured for 7 seats -- it was crammed with 10 people at that moment.

"All squeezed into one car; smaller target, safer."

With that, he pulled out a special recorder and a pair of wireless earpieces, handing them to Meng Chuan.

"Clip the recorder onto your collar to record your achievements."

He picked up the earpieces and explained in detail:

"These earpieces are for communication control. Once connected, they offer seamless communication within a one-kilometer radius.

However, remember to press the small dot on the side of the left earpiece when speaking."

Meng Chuan took them and, following Li Zhun’s instructions, operated them briefly, quickly mastering their usage.

Li Zhun rapidly checked the mission-related data on his phone, asking without looking up:

"By the way, Meng Chuan, tell me about your capabilities so I can allocate tasks suitably.

We are comrades in arms fighting side by side; don’t exaggerate, nor hide your skills. If your abilities are unclear, it could potentially affect the whole team’s operation."

As soon as he said this, the team members in the car stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Meng Chuan.

After all, Meng Chuan was a civilian martial artist temporarily inserted into the team. Everyone was curious about his strength and worried he might be a drag.

Meng Chuan remained calm and said indifferently:

"Currently at the sixth stage of Qi Blood. Against a seventh-stage enemy, I am confident I can stall and maneuver, ensuring I won’t hold everyone back;

If they are below the sixth stage, I can crush them."

His tone was steady, with no hint of boasting.

Upon hearing Meng Chuan’s claim, a hint of skepticism flashed across the faces of those in the car, but their good discipline kept them silent.

Meng Chuan’s youthful appearance made his abilities difficult to easily believe.

Li Zhun also furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze fixed on Meng Chuan, confirming seriously once more:

"Are you sure?"

After receiving Meng Chuan’s affirmative response, Li Zhun’s expression softened a bit:

"Good, it seems Chief Long has found us a strong ally."

Li Zhun then sharpened his gaze, speaking with solemnity:

"Everyone, our mission for this [Sabre] operation is the chemical plant in the west of the city."

"Sky Net monitors and analyses reveal a group of Demon Summoning Hall followers causing chaos by setting fires, but they are actually setting up a Demon Path ritual."

"The chemical plant is firmly occupied by them, and among the enemies is a vice priest at Martial Artist level."

"Additionally, there are 13 demon path martial artists of varying strengths."

Li Zhun glanced at the time on his wrist, his tone becoming more serious:

"We don’t have much time left; we must annihilate them swiftly.

The difficulty of this mission is not small; everyone must give their all, and no aspect can afford any mishap!"

Li Zhun’s sharp gaze scanned across the faces of his team members.

He took a deep breath and continued with the mission deployment:

"Next, let’s allocate specific tasks. The floor’s rooftop Martial Artist level vice priest will be handled by Deputy Zhang and me to ensure the ritual cannot be completed."

As he spoke, Li Zhun turned his gaze to the few in the back seat, showing concern yet maintaining sternness:

"Xu Qi, you’re the strongest. When Deputy Zhang and I are not present, you’ll be in charge."

"Understood!"

"Your mission is to infiltrate the inside of the factory, control the situation in the shortest time possible, and prevent the enemies from detonating bombs that could cause a large-scale explosion."

"If personnel obstacles appear during the operation, don’t hesitate or verify identities; eliminate them all to never give the enemy any advantage!"

After arranging this, Li Zhun’s gaze fell on Meng Chuan:

"Meng Chuan, during the mission, you must act when ordered."

Considering you lack experience with firearms, I won’t give you a gun to avoid unnecessary accidents.

But according to you, your close combat skills are outstanding, allowing you to be the breakthrough operator."

"You all, make sure to support Meng Chuan well, keep an eye on his movements, and provide cover to ensure his safety."

"Yes!"

The three team members with lower martial arts strength, responsible for remote fire suppression, immediately responded in unison.

Meng Chuan nodded solemnly.

Without a word along the way, they soon arrived near the mission venue.

Li Zhun raised his hand, signaling steadily:

"Get out of the car, prepare to act."

Everyone quickly opened the car doors and got out in single file.

Li Zhun swiftly walked to the back of the car, opening the weapons stash in the trunk, and turned to Meng Chuan, saying:

"Meng Chuan, choose any weapon except the firearms from here, pick what suits you."

Meng Chuan stepped forward, his eyes scanning the various weapons, quickly calculating the mission’s scenarios and needs in his mind.

After a moment, he didn’t take much. He simply picked up an alloy-made dart.

This dart had a hard texture with sharp edges, although he did not know the technique for throwing darts, it could be used for long-range disturbance against enemies.

He gently put the dart into his pocket and picked up a police baton that could release a strong electric current, weighed it, and tucked it into his back waist.

Meng Chuan thought to himself that his fists were still the best weapon, but having it at his waist wouldn’t affect him and might come in handy.

The group lurked in the shadows not far from the chemical plant.

Looking ahead, the fire at the chemical plant had been extinguished, but there were still traces of firelight and thick black smoke.

"Are you scared? You can still leave now."

Old Wu puffed a cigarette while wiping his gun, laughing as he asked.

"If you, at stage four, aren’t afraid, what do I have to fear?"

Meng Chuan unhesitatingly retorted back.

"You little brat..."

Old Wu wanted to say more, but caught sight of Meng Chuan, illuminated by distant firelight. Meng Chuan took off his coat, showing muscular contours under the shadows, rising and falling with his breathing and appearing more robust.

Meng Chuan ignored the comment and took a deep breath, his eyes increasingly determined.

"With protective clothing and Qi Nourishing Armor Technique in place, as long as we aren’t reckless, nothing will happen."
