Chapter 5191 Imperial City Assassination
With a muffled sound, a miniature missile hit the spacecraft.
A small spacecraft of this type does not have an energy shield itself. Although the outer shell has certain protective capabilities, it cannot block highly lethal armor-piercing missiles at all.
Amidst the violent explosion, the spacecraft fell directly to the ground, causing violent sparks.
There was an explosion inside, and the fire snakes were flying and scurrying wantonly.
When the passers-by around him saw this, they immediately screamed and hurriedly looked for shelter.
Launching an attack in the imperial city is quite rare. Even crazy rebels would not dare to cause trouble in the core area of the Star Demon Realm.
The crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the imperial city has the strongest defensive power, making the rebels extremely afraid.
But just in the imperial city, Tang Zhen suffered an assassination attack. This incident was indeed unexpected.
The members of the team protecting Tang Zhen instantly entered combat mode and covered his evacuation from the dangerous area.
As the order was given, several escape routes were instantly blown out of the shell of the small spaceship that was hit and burning.
Following one of the passages, everyone immediately evacuated the spacecraft to avoid being attacked again.
As soon as they reached the door, another missile was fired, blowing the spacecraft into a pile of scrap metal.
"Looking for death!"
The two royal masters who had just joined the team and were responsible for protecting Tang Zhen decisively split up and took action.
One led several team members to launch a counterattack against the enemy, while the other led the team members to cover Tang Zhen to a safe location.
Just hold on for a minute and reinforcements will arrive at the scene.
Some buildings in the imperial city are actually military fortresses that can enter a state of war at any time.
In these buildings, there are people on standby at all times, as well as a large number of war robots.
Through mental control, the robot can be controlled to face the enemy, and its combat effectiveness is quite powerful.
Through practice, practitioners can acquire the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, possess a strong and tough body, and use the energy of heaven and earth to unleash powerful strikes.
It just so happens that robots can possess all of these methods, and they can also be manufactured in large quantities.
On the battlefield where people are fighting to the death, those practitioners with average strength really cannot beat the fully armed robots.
The enemy who attacked Tang Zhen also controlled a robot, but was not actually involved in the battle.
These cunning guys obviously know very well what will happen if they take action in the Imperial City.
Therefore, combat robots were dispatched to launch a sneak attack and assassination on Tang Zhen using remote control.
Whether the assassination failed or succeeded, they could escape smoothly without being captured or killed on the spot.
From the beginning, the enemy opened fire with full firepower and kept firing mini-missiles.
The combat robot that launched the attack had the same appearance as a member of the Star Demon Clan, and was obviously covered with a simulated skin.
After entering the fighting state, deadly flames will be sprayed out from their heads or arms.
Locking on Tang Zhen's position, he launched attacks continuously, and the loud explosions were heard endlessly.
However, in a short period of time, the bustling streets have become devastated.
The alarm and fire extinguishing systems had already been turned on automatically, but the scene became increasingly chaotic.
While avoiding the counterattack, several team members were injured, but fortunately they were not particularly serious.
If Tang Zhen hadn't helped them upgrade their protective equipment before this, they might have lost their lives in the attack just now.
There were many passers-by who were affected by the sudden outbreak of fighting, and their broken bodies fell on both sides of the road.
Tang Zhen, who was attacked, did not panic at all, but quietly observed the battlefield.
He can't tell now who the enemy is, but he knows that the other party really wants to kill him.
His enemies are not many, and the high-ranking team members who were reviewed are considered a group, but if he lends them some courage, he would not dare to assassinate them on the street inside the imperial city.
This is a provocation to the Star Demon Royal Family. It is an unforgivable crime and will implicate the entire family.
No matter how stupid the other party is, they will not make such a low-level mistake. At most, they will retaliate against Tang Zhen in other ways.
So this matter must have been done by someone else.
This sudden attack may be related to the ultimate spiritual plastic pill. Some people did not want Tang Zhen to continue refining it, so they tried to solve the problem from the root.
The Plastic Spirit Pill refined by Tang Zhen has similar products on the market, but its efficacy and quality are far inferior. It can be said that so far, only Tang Zhen can refine it.
If Tang Zhen is killed, the refining method of the Spirit Shaping Pill will be lost. Even if others use the pill to deduce it in reverse, there is a huge chance of failure.
For this reason, hunting becomes a matter of course.
To be able to complete an ambush and assassination in the imperial city in a short period of time, the opponent's means and strength are by no means simple.
While Tang Zhen was thinking, he suddenly found that the street was closed and metal curtains rose from the ground.
This thing looks thin and doesn’t take up much space, but it’s actually extremely tough.
This is a curtain partition that was pre-installed during the construction of the Imperial City to prevent the spread of fire and floods.
Now that it is raised, it can also serve as a roadblock cage, cutting off the enemy's escape route.
Soon, countless aircraft flew over like a swarm of bees. These were all combat robots.
It took a total of one minute and twenty-five seconds from receiving the combat order to starting and arriving at the scene.
This speed of action is really extremely fast.
In order to build the imperial city, the Star Demon Royal Family invested countless money and material resources, and hid countless mechanisms and secrets.
Outsiders have no right to know the secrets of the entire city.
Once the war starts and the enemy hits the imperial city, they will face a super war fortress.
Not to mention taking the imperial city, thank God for not being counterattacked.
This unexpected attack made Tang Zhen realize the strength of the Star Demon Royal Family. Once a war really breaks out, the battlefield must not be chosen in the imperial city.
Facing the overwhelming battle robots, the attackers were no match at all and were completely suppressed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the assassination failed, the attacker decisively blew himself up, and the controlled robot was instantly shattered into pieces.
The accident happened suddenly, but ended suddenly in less than two minutes.
However, the damage and adverse effects caused were enough to cause an earthquake.
Soon Tang Zhen saw figures arriving at the scene one after another, conducting surveys with serious expressions.
Including the Guardian Department, they also dispatched personnel to participate in the investigation work on site.
As the target of the attack, Tang Zhen will definitely be investigated.
The monk responsible for the inquiry turned out to be a member of the royal family.
The noble status of the members of the royal family does not mean that they are rare in number. This is especially true for the Star Demon family who encourage procreation and have superior living conditions.
It is said that the number of members of the royal family has already exceeded ten million, and is still increasing.
There are so many members of the royal family, and they certainly can’t be fed on an idle basis.
They will receive various elite educations from childhood. Whether they are monks or ordinary people, they must work hard to revitalize the royal family.
The most powerful means of the Star Demon clan is actually in the hands of the royal family.
According to the confessions of the prisoners, many of the cultivation inheritances obtained by the Star Demon clan have never been made public to outside monks.
A large part of the resources obtained by invading other worlds are also supplied to the royal monks for their cultivation.
Within the Star Demon Royal Family, there are also various departments, and whenever there is a need, they will quietly appear.
The person communicating with Tang Zhen at this moment was the head of a secret investigation department. He carefully asked about the process of the attack, and occasionally frowned and thought seriously.
There are some things that need not be said in detail. The answer is actually very clear. Tang Zhen was retaliated for refining the Spiritual Shaping Pill.
Who is the attacker needs to be investigated by the royal monks. Tang Zhen's task is to continue to refine the spirit-shaping pill.
But this assassination will definitely make the Star Demon Royal family be more vigilant, thereby increasing Tang Zhen's defense level.
Tang Zhen must not get into trouble again before he finishes practicing the elixirs for the royal family, otherwise many people will go crazy and be exposed.
“Let me inform you that from now on, you will go to the royal garden to practice and refine elixirs there.
Try not to go out until the attacker is caught. What’s the matter? Feel free to ask me for anything like this.”
