Chapter 66 Commander-in-Chief

  The apathetic woman spat out another mouthful of scarlet blood, her internal organs severely injured, and she collapsed to the ground due to the intense pain. Additionally, the woman's left arm had been shattered by Li Ling's close-range spiritual attack earlier, resulting in a comminuted fracture that even an A-level anomaly would need some time to recover from.

  The apathetic woman shook her head, clearing her mind. With a trembling right hand, she struggled to prop herself up and slowly lifted her body. Using her shaking legs, she swayed and stood up again. Her eyes were not filled with fear or retreat, but instead were calm and determined! She was an absolute warrior who would not give up until the task was accomplished!

  Li Ling was slightly surprised and secretly shocked by the strong willpower and unyielding means of this cold woman.

  The apathetic woman slightly calmed her breathing, suppressing the extreme pain brought by the comminuted fracture of her left arm, controlling her rationality and sobriety, with sweat dripping from her beautiful face due to the pain.

  Li Ling felt a little soft-hearted, and what he didn't expect was that the close-range attack just now had actually caused the aloof woman such severe injuries. In fact, Li Ling had only subconsciously wanted to deflect the Cicada Wing Blade.

  "I advise you not to come over again, otherwise, next time I can't guarantee that you will still be able to live safely." Li Ling was used to being an assassin, his methods were always clean and efficient, never leaving any traces of water, and he showed no mercy to enemies regardless of whether they were male or female.

  In this world, if you don't kill others, others will kill you!

  "It's not necessary, my life is no longer mine to control, it belongs to the organization." The apathetic woman said this without any emotion. With her right hand, she ripped apart the outer white shirt, instantly turning it into a strip of cloth. Underneath, she was only wearing a simple undergarment that barely covered her proud chest, and her slender waist exuded a captivating dynamism.

  Her sleek and perfect figure showcases stunning sensuality and athletic talent.

  The apathetic woman coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, and after taking off the torn white shirt, she used her mobile right hand to tie her left hand to her waist, so as not to affect her right hand's attack with her immobile and shaking left hand.

  Li Ling felt a thread of sympathy, furrowed his brow, and couldn't help but admire this aloof woman from the bottom of his heart. Her unyielding execution of orders, although somewhat rigid and clumsy, was worthy of respect!

  However, the military executive, who was the superior of everyone here, stood by indifferently.

  "Hey, you're Li Jing, aren't you? Old man Li Jing, you have such a good subordinate, yet you're willing to let her die here." Li Ling looked at Li Jing with disdain and shook his head in sigh.

  Li Jing's nose hummed coldly, coughing a few times, his eyes filled with ruthless anger, and he sneered: "She said it herself, her life belongs to the organization, fighting to death is where she should belong."

  Li Lingxu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jing with a hint of anger for the first time, saying: "Then what about your life?"

  Li Jing's eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless glint as he said calmly: "My life was long ago given to the country."

  "A joke... Since you don't care about your own life, I'll take it from you. You won't be afraid, will you? Let me see how fearless you are!" Li Ling's eyes gleamed with a cold light, staring at the bent and deformed Cicada Wing Blade on the ground. A powerful, invisible spiritual force made the blade float in mid-air, and after a few crisp cracking sounds, the Cicada Wing Blade was slowly pulled back into shape by this invisible force, once again becoming a sharp weapon with absolute killing power.

  "Old Master Li, if this blade as thin as a cicada's wing were to slash through your throat in an instant, what would it feel like?" Li Ling asked indifferently, his head tilted to one side.

  "You... you dare!" Li Jing's eyes had a hint of fear, gritting his teeth and furrowing his brow tightly. When his life was threatened, Li Jing also had a moment of hesitation. The conviction that his life was given to the country also collapsed in an instant.

  "What's there to be afraid of? I, Li Ling, have killed no less than a hundred people, and they were all wealthy and powerful individuals. Do you think I would mind killing one more?" Li Ling's voice was eerily calm.

  "Y...". Li Jing's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, his whole body trembling, but he was a soldier, and although he feared death, he still didn't dare to say it.

  "Don't point the blade at the military officer." The apathetic woman, after securing and fixing her left hand, pulled out another cicada-winged blade from behind, originally a pair of cicada-winged blades, dual-bladed.

  Li Ling sighed, this aloof woman was indeed a trouble!

  Just as the apathetic woman was about to charge again, a voice like a Hong Zhong drum came in.

  "Everybody stop!"

  It was at this moment that many researchers who had been hiding under various tables, upon hearing the sound, seemed to have heard hope and crawled out from under the tables, walking towards the door to greet the owner of the voice.

  Then a tall and majestic old general with a high military rank, wearing a green uniform, walked in.

  The old general was surrounded by some soldiers wearing neat military uniforms, with the lowest rank being that of a school officer. Moreover, each and every one of them had bright eyes, extraordinary momentum, and a refreshing military posture.

  Li Jing secretly let out a breath of relief, no longer fearing Li Ling's use of spiritual power to suspend the cicada-winged blade in mid-air. Instead, he turned around and bowed his head respectfully towards the old military officer who had just entered: "Commander."

  The old general just nodded slightly and pointed at Li Jing's head, saying: "You're just a muddle-headed fool."

  Li Jing suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare look straight at General La, seemingly knowing he was wrong, with a humble and willing-to-learn attitude.

  Li Ling looked at that powerful military man and was also slightly surprised. Could this old general be the mastermind behind them?

  "This is spiritual power! Young brother, for my sake, please put down that sharp blade! What's the hurry in killing each other?" The old soldier said with a gentle yet authoritative tone.

  Li Ling was infected by the other's demeanor, and the anger in his chest suddenly dissipated. He withdrew his spiritual energy, stretched out his hand, and caught the Cicada Wing Blade that had lost its suspended force.

  "Commander! This matter." Li Jing seemed to want to say something more.

  "You old fool! Do you know what you've just done? Conducting research on someone without their consent, you're affecting Li Ling's personal freedom and safety. If you really did this, I'll be the first to shoot you." The old soldier severely scolded Li Jing with a stern tone.

  "Commander, I know I was wrong, but it was all to protect the young lady." Li Jing was indeed loyal, although he was making excuses for himself.

  "I've heard everything, you didn't discuss with me, and you used this method, I strongly disagree. Initially, I discussed with that old fox, Li Ling is absolutely a person with great potential, no need for external power injection, I believe Li Ling can protect Anjing well." The old soldier's majesty was full of dignity, and he looked at Li Ling with kindness, saying a very pertinent sentence.

  Li Ling's heart was slightly moved, this is a real soldier!
