Chapter 170: Chapter 131: Omen Bird

"Move aside, move aside! Kingdom Operations on the job!"

After flashing their credentials, the Tenth Squad quickly cordoned off the crowd.

"Captain, target confirmed. It’s definitely the death row inmates who snuck in."

"They have that bizarre tattoo over their hearts. There’s no mistake!"

The squad members quickly examined the bodies. Although the whole situation was incredible, it seemed their mission in Liufeng City was already complete.

"Disperse the crowd, remove the bodies, enforce a media blackout, and manage the cleanup."

The squad captain immediately began making arrangements, following a contingency plan they had prepared in advance.

Incredibly, the victim’s head was found over ten meters away, sliced cleanly in two.

’If that red flash of lightning really was a bird, how in the world did it kill them?’

"Hello? Is this the 7th Operations Squad?"

"The Red Falcon King will be arriving in one minute. Be ready to provide support."

"Hello, is this the 9th Operations Squad?"

"The Red Falcon King will be arriving in 90 seconds. Be ready to provide support."

As Taruno made one call after another, scenes similar to the one in Liufeng City were unfolding across the Kingdom.

In just a few short minutes, the Red Falcon King had covered hundreds of kilometers to execute precision strikes against death row inmates in three separate urban hideouts.

That operational speed, that search efficiency... Absolutely top-notch.

As reports of the successful operations came in, the news reached Lin Biyun as well.

She was in high spirits and immediately doubled down, providing the hiding places of even more criminals.

By the end of the first day, the Red Falcon King’s kill count had reached 100.

You could say that any of them who were brazen enough to show their faces had been completely wiped out.

The only reason the count wasn’t higher was that this was all the Kingdom Central Intelligence Agency had been able to locate.

But that didn’t matter. As the Kingdom CIA ramped up its efforts, it was only a matter of time before the remaining death row inmates were hunted down one by one.

And it wouldn’t take long—a week at most.

In the past, completely eliminating these intruders would have taken a month at the very least.

After all, the Operations Division had limited personnel, and the death row inmates wouldn’t just sit back and wait to be slaughtered.

But now, there was no need to worry about resistance, because the targets never even knew how they lost their heads.

The Kingdom’s operations teams had been relegated to their most important task: cleanup and body recovery.

Even when the death row inmates hid inside buildings, the terrifying Red Falcon could still shatter bulletproof glass and slaughter them all.

The only real action an operations team took was to coordinate with the Red Falcon, flushing a group of criminals out of a basement.

The team then witnessed the Red Falcon King’s slaughter firsthand. A red bolt of lightning streaked past, and the criminals were instantly decapitated.

In fact, the killing blow was so fast that their bodies wouldn’t register their own deaths for two full seconds before their heads finally separated from their necks.

"Not bad. Very well done. Continue tomorrow!"

That evening, Chen Qi personally visited the operations center to inspect their progress.

He was very satisfied with the results. The resentment clinging to the Red Falcon King was so thick it had practically condensed into a black mist.

In fact, there was so much resentment that its chip had begun to overload.

One could only imagine the pressure this put on the Red Falcon King’s cells.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi gave the Red Falcon King another injection of the Longevity Hormone.

Sure enough, the effects were immediate. The Red Falcon King’s condition improved at once.

"One injection every three hours."

"Keep it up."

Chen Qi handed the rest of the Longevity Hormone to Taruno, telling him to take good care of the Red Falcon King.

Now that the hunt was fully on track, he no longer needed to divert his attention to it.

’I just hope that after this wave of kills, the Red Falcon King can give me a pleasant surprise.’

’Reaching the Thousand-Man Slayer milestone is out of the question, but with a kill count of seven or eight hundred, there has to be some kind of change, right?’

’If the Red Falcon King doesn’t undergo some kind of Metamorphosis, dealing with those apprentices later will be difficult. Who knows what kinds of bizarre abilities the apprentices from the outside world possess.’

After some consideration, Chen Qi integrated the tiny amount of Nuclear Iron he had refined into the Red Falcon King’s Life Magnet Field.

’This was the only way I can help it.’

The moment the Nuclear Iron merged with it, the Red Falcon King’s Life Magnet Field instantly strengthened threefold.

’Interesting. Upon contact with the Red Falcon King’s Life Magnet Field, the Nuclear Iron immediately transformed and integrated completely, without the slightest hint of incompatibility.’

’Is this the special property of Nuclear Iron?’

Chen Qi had originally planned to save the Nuclear Iron for the Source Ore, but that thing hadn’t shown any special properties after devouring the Activated Metal.

According to Chen Qi’s calculations, even if he fed his small amount of Nuclear Iron to the Source Ore, the quantity was too minuscule to produce any significant change.

Using it on the Red Falcon King, on the other hand, would yield a much more immediate effect.

When Nuclear Iron comes into contact with a Life Magnet Field, it transforms into a part of that field.

For a Life Form, this was a perfect enhancement.

Moreover, as time went on, the Life Form could completely assimilate this enhancement.

Taking the Red Falcon King as an example, this threefold enhancement from the Nuclear Iron would last for at least ten days.

During those ten days, the Red Falcon King’s strengthened Life Magnet Field would constantly stimulate its physical body, driving it to change.

This ten-day period was the lifespan of the Nuclear Iron after its conversion into a Life Magnet Field.

How much of the transformed Nuclear Iron the Red Falcon King’s Life Magnet Field could Devour during this time was up to fate.

Factoring in the Red Falcon King’s chip, Chen Qi was very optimistic about the final outcome.

Chen Qi was, in a sense, adding fuel to the fire. He just hoped the Red Falcon King would live up to his expectations.
