Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 710 - 663: The Shocked Brown
When the incident occurred in the Ninth Base City, Vice President Brown of the Longevity Association was locked in an intense battle with Li Xianglong in outer space near the Eighth Base City.
Brown knew he was no match for Li Xianglong, not even close to being able to withstand ten exchanges.
During the battle in the underground mine several months ago, if he hadn’t used the Purgatory Prince to block the blow, he would have nearly been hunted down to the brink of desperation by Li Xianglong.
The injuries he sustained in that fight have yet to fully heal.
Thus, before this battle, Brown had made every possible effort to mobilize resources: not only did he enlist two Divine Envoy Level elites from the Longevity Association, but he also assembled eight Nine Realms Emperor-level elites clad in exoskeleton armor to conceal their identities and assist in the fight.
The conflict in space unleashed immense radiation energy, terrifying nearby ships into retreat and destroying all Earth Federation satellites deployed in the vicinity.
"Do you know why you’re completely without backup this time? Apart from some aid from East Asia and those few trusted allies of yours, there’s virtually no one supporting you. Even the Security Bureau—only your direct lineage troops are following your orders in combat."
Vice President Brown spoke while fending off the sword light slashed by Li Xianglong, simultaneously retreating to evade with all his strength.
He was bearing almost all the pressure from Li Xianglong single-handedly.
Among the eleven individuals present, Li Xianglong not only harbored the deepest murderous intent toward him but also targeted him—a man still suffering from old injuries—as the breakthrough in the battle.
Vice President Brown was forced to confront Li Xianglong’s sword head-on. If not for his many comrades, all exceedingly skilled and fully committed to attacking and surrounding Li Xianglong, Brown was certain he wouldn’t survive past seven strikes.
He was struggling immensely, yet his gaze was one of excitement and exhilaration: "You’ve crossed the line, Li Xianglong!"
Brown’s lips curled into a cold sneer: "Li Xianglong, it’s bad enough that you control the Security Bureau, but you’re not satisfied and want to meddle in Congress? To seize control over the government? To expand the powers of the Security Bureau? Investigate corruption? Amend the constitution? Investigate finance? Smuggling? Assemble fleets? Why don’t you ascend to the heavens?"
Brown’s sneer deepened: "Even your trusted Third General Odin and Fourth General Kidman aren’t willing to support you now! In the Security Bureau, the only one truly aligned with you is Lin Tianchen, and he’s nothing more than a dead dog now. Today, having lost so many of his old subordinates, he doesn’t even dare step out of the laboratory—ridiculous, laughable. The mighty ’God Needle that Shrouds the Heavens’ Lin Tianchen has fallen to this point."
Li Xianglong’s face sank, devoid of expression.
This time, he had been caught completely off guard by the Longevity Association. This group of scoundrels used an enormous number of Death Soldiers and terror strikes to incapacitate his numerous allies in various base cities, leaving them paralyzed.
But Li Xianglong, having controlled the Security Bureau for nearly two centuries, certainly had contingencies prepared.
As for Lin Tianchen, results would emerge by tomorrow at the latest.
Once Lin Tianchen’s True Spirit breaks free, the Longevity Association members would soon understand the consequences of angering the ’God Needle that Shrouds the Heavens.’
It was at this moment that Vice President Brown received a warning from the organization’s intelligence department.
His pupils constricted slightly, and his gaze betrayed disbelief.
Lian Yi’an, Adam Reyna, Xu Feiyu, Benedict Barnes, Utherred Mays, Dai Zhenshan, You Ming—these figures in the Ninth Base City had all perished?
Every one of them was a lynchpin for the Longevity Association: either holding high-ranking positions in the government, wielding military authority in the Base Defense Force, or serving as CEOs of corporations responsible for stationing private armies for the organization.
And their individual capabilities were extraordinarily strong, nearly all above the Eight Realms Emperor level, some even possessing Quasi-Member Level combat power—key cadres meticulously cultivated by the Longevity Association.
Surrounded by layers of defenses and elites, their safety should have been guaranteed.
Yet within a mere fifteen minutes, these highly valued elite members of the organization were swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
While handling the battle, Brown interrogated the Intelligence Minister: "Titing, have we identified the perpetrator?"
Titing, named after an ancient mythical beast from East Asian folklore reputedly capable of listening to all information across the universe, served as the Intelligence Minister’s codename.
Titing: What we can confirm so far is Lin Rui, along with his ’Forest · Rui Fang’ Group. Our people pressured Huo Bangguo, and he replied saying it was the ’Children’s Song Killer’ committing the crimes. He’s helpless and had no choice but to seek assistance from the Security Bureau and the Armed Police Force.
Vice President Brown, unsurprisingly, found this explanation utterly predictable.
Previously, Huo Bangguo bore immense pressure from the Longevity Association. Brown had threatened him beforehand.
Should Huo Bangguo dare interfere in the feud between the Longevity Association and Li Xianglong, five catastrophic incidents, each capable of causing mass casualties exceeding one million, were guaranteed to occur in the Ninth Base City!
Since the government had declared the Longevity Association a terrorist organization, they planned to respond like one.
Thus, when the Hidden Crown Prince of Great Song beckoned with a mere gesture, Huo Bangguo promptly withdrew. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
It was only logical that Huo Bangguo wouldn’t return at this moment to help suppress Lin Rui on behalf of the Longevity Association.
Still, even if Huo Bangguo’s reaction was expected, Vice President Brown’s face remained as grim as ever.
Seek help from the Security Bureau? The Security Bureau was already engaged in a full-scale conflict against the Longevity Association!
The Longevity Association’s terror tactics might work on the Security Bureau and government institutions, but they were utterly useless against the Children’s Song Killer.
Cameron Brown: How does he have such audacity? How many personnel do his Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals and Forest Group even have? How much military capability? How dare he actively launch a war against our Longevity Association?
Titing: That, I cannot say. But the strength they’re currently displaying is absolutely formidable—especially in hacking! Since the Light King Sect’s supercomputers fell into Lin Rui’s hands, their hacking capabilities have become astoundingly powerful. All nearby monitoring devices have been wiped clean, and no one witnessed the battle firsthand. I still don’t know how they died, nor have I found any combat footage related to the incident.
