After several leaps, Yu Lian had already crossed three intersections, and he jumped down into the alley within the building. He grabbed a protruding billboard, swung himself, and entered the interior through an open window.
"Apologies, ladies, please continue," Yu Lian sincerely apologized to the startled tenants, then continued forward.
"Apologies, apologies, gentlemen, please also continue." Yu Lian continued forward, sweeping Past two gentlemen who had pushed open their doors to check.
He went down one floor directly, exited through the left window, and a Field Shimmer had already slid him into the opposite building. He hurried through the Corridor, and when he exited, he was already above an alley.
Above the narrow alley entrance, the massive Lightyear Arena was still visible, with its thunderous cheers and boundless courage.
"An absolute kill! An absolute kill! An absolute kill! We absolutely killed the opponent! Our Arsenal will continue to advance!" He heard the on site DJ's ear-splitting cheers, which almost shook the entire city.
Then, cheers erupted from the stadium, like thunder, almost shaking the heavens and earth.
Who said Earthlings had no future? Yu Lian cheered inwardly, then leaped, landing silently on the ground, and pressed himself against the alley wall. As he moved quickly, he maneuvered the drone in the sky away from the stadium.
The drone's probe continued to share its view with him. Several patrol airships had already arrived at the scene and were slowly sailing towards the stadium's sky. Of course, if the team had truly lost due to the referee, they would indeed need to prepare stun grenades to suppress fan riots.
But they won. In the most difficult circumstances, they absolutely killed the opponent…
More and more fans surrounded the stadium, singing loudly. They weren't smashing, looting, or robbing; they were just gathered together, celebrating the victory loudly, as if they had won the championship. The more rational fans knew that the team would find it very difficult to advance further, yet they still felt as if they had won the Universe.
However, so many people flooded the surrounding area, completely paralyzing traffic for ten blocks around.
At this moment, anyone wanting to leave by the main road would probably spend several hours just to squeeze into the subway station. Others might be fine, but for Vice Admiral Vincent and his party, who needed to leave, they had to find a solution.
If the main road couldn't be used, they had to take the small paths. The imitation Imperial-style temple-like buildings around the Lightyear Stadium were not particularly tall, and they were connected by stairs and sky Corridors, giving them a sense of design. But this also meant that the alleys naturally formed by the building gaps on the ground were somewhat winding and complex, and it was even very possible to lead people to a dead end.
Even locals who had lived in Mist Capital for decades could get lost in them, let alone others.
However, for Vice Admiral Vincent, these maze-like alleys between the buildings were the most suitable and safest passages for them to escape.
Of course, Vice Admiral Vincent was indeed worthy of the importance Yu Lian placed on him. Since this future major villain would risk meeting Senator Apwood in such a place, he naturally had a perfect plan for his retreat route.
He might even have anticipated that there would be conflicts and riots at the stadium, and that nearby traffic would be completely paralyzed, so he had already prepared a contingency plan for himself.
However, for him to retreat safely, quickly, and without being noticed by nearby residents, he could only choose to go through these alleys. And the fastest and safest way for them to pass through this block from the Lightyear Stadium… Yu Lian leaped onto a sky Corridor, looked around, and smiled.
In a narrow alley between two temple-like buildings at his eight o'clock direction, three inconspicuous men in ordinary overcoats were hurrying over.
Their steps were fast, but they didn't appear flustered. Although they kept close to the wall, they weren't furtively looking around. They maintained a vigilant formation, but an amateur wouldn't be able to tell anything.
Even if someone nearby saw them through a window, they would only think these people were in a hurry, and would certainly not suspect their movements were sneaky or suspicious, thus calling the police or anything.
The Guardian, Muir, who was scouting ahead, was responsible for blocking bullets at any time; the one bringing up the rear was the Sentinel, Nogo. As for the target of this trip, Vice Admiral Minqi Vincent, he walked in the middle.
If Yu Lian hadn't guessed wrong, the Sentinel named Nogo should have activated his spiritual perception at this moment. In comparison, the Eagle Eye technique, while allowing him to see further, could only see what was in front of him, not around him.
They were indeed cautious and steady; they didn't relax their guard even in this situation… But, to be honest, it was a bit excessive. Although Vice Admiral Vincent was a major villain and schemer who had to die, that was a matter for the future.
At the Present, he had been imprisoned by the Empire for eighteen years and had just returned to the country, already out of touch with the times. To the world, he was just an outdated old man who had lost all power and prestige, doing trivial things to earn some retirement money. All his schemes had only just begun; who would specifically target him?
So, being called "Coward Vincent" was understandable. As Yu Lian thought this, he leaped out of the Corridor, climbed onto the roof, and with a gentle psionic impulse, swept all the flowerpots off the edge of the roof.
"Enemy attack!" Vice Admiral Vincent jumped up and yelled, startling his two bodyguards instead.
Guardian Muir stepped back, pressing Vice Admiral Vincent against the wall and shielding him with his body. The skin beneath his overcoat began to harden and cool, showing a metallic sheen. On the other side, Sentinel Nogo also placed his hand on the pistol beneath his overcoat, but did not immediately draw it.
He seemed to sense someone in the direction the flowerpots fell, but whether it was a deliberate attacker or mischievous children, he couldn't be sure.
And to be honest, he was more inclined to the latter.
Ambushed? Attacked? Why? They hadn't done anything; it wasn't logical!
As he thought this, one of the flowerpots spun back and shattered instantly with a "whoosh." The soil inside hit the other flowerpots like bullets, creating a chain reaction that immediately formed a large cloud of mud in front of the three men.
By then, Nogo realized that they were truly under attack.
Without a word, he drew his pistol and pushed Muir: "Take the General and go! To the main road!"
Nogo's judgment was clear: the opponent's attack was also from behind, and once they reached the main road, they would be safe.
But by this time, it was already too late for them. A shadow directly emerged from the mud cloud, so fast that Nogo didn't even have time to react, as if it had instantly appeared from that black mist.
...This is unscientific! I've already activated spiritual perception; he can't be this fast! Field Shimmer? That's also impossible!
Unless, ah, psionic energy was injected into those flowerpots, and they became the medium for his shimmer?
The specially educated Nogo instantly thought of this possibility, and his heart sank halfway. He knew that Field Shimmer was just a very basic movement combat technique; in short, it used psionic energy to give the body explosive movement speed and Sprint ability, so fast that to ordinary people, it looked like a shimmer. However, when cultivated to a high level, it could indeed achieve a short-distance spatial jump effect through a psionic-wrapped medium.
Theoretically, it was still within the scope of Field Shimmer, this "low-level" combat technique, and the demands on psionic energy and the body were still within the low-ring range, but the required skill was quite profound; even high-ring users rarely reached this level.
So, this was a high-ring user who had hidden his strength!
Nogo quickly made this judgment and immediately lost all will to fight. Close combat, gun-fu, everything was forgotten.
He almost mechanically raised his gun, instinctively wanting to pull the trigger, but such stiff movements were naturally within Yu Lian's calculations. The latter disarmed the opponent's pistol with a quick pull and release of his right hand, and with his left hand raised, a butterfly knife slid out of his sleeve, directly piercing the opponent's throat.
The first-ring Sentinel, Nogo, didn't even have time to let out a loud scream before he instantly lost his life.
However, on the other side, Guardian Muir had already carried Vice Admiral Vincent on his back and run dozens of meters.
His Guardian enhancement was in physique and strength, but we all know that once physique evolves, speed and explosiveness will also increase accordingly.
Yu Lian directly put the pistol on his back and began to charge in the direction the opponent was running.
Then, almost at the same instant, the Hummingbird drone, which had already completed its historical mission, also drilled down from the gap in the building, appearing directly in front of Muir and Vice Admiral Vincent.
Muir paused slightly, and the drone charged head-on with a suicidal attitude.
"Bang!" The Hummingbird drone crashed into Muir's Guardian-enhanced body, disintegrating on the spot. However, a super-miniature electroshock bomb it carried exploded directly.
This thing was not fatal, but it still created paralyzing electric arcs that enveloped him, instantly throwing even a Guardian like Muir into a state of paralysis and stiffness.
If Muir hadn't sensed something was wrong the moment the Hummingbird lunged, and thrown Vice Admiral Vincent away at the last moment, the latter would probably have already fainted.
"General, run… &()*()@#!¥" The paralysis from the electric arcs made it difficult for him to control his mouth for a moment, and his face showed an expression of pain and humiliation.
Vice Admiral Vincent scrambled to his feet and began to run without looking back. He knew that as long as he ran to the main road, into the agitated crowd, he would surely be safe.
