Chapter 337 [Taking Action]
"We have a lot of leverage. The Federal government is a democracy, right? Let’s see if they’ll release our comrades in exchange for these hostages. Take her cousin to the back. Miss Wren, you can continue talking with your headquarters. Just understand that, from this moment on, I will execute ten hostages every five minutes until the remaining forty minutes are up. Then boom! We all go to heaven.”
Ouranos was dragged by terrorist to the fourth carriage. Many more hostages huddled together in this carriage, too many to have all been from just one. As the terrorist pulled him along, he examined the carriage with his peripheral vision and added that information to what he already learned.
From what he had seen so far, only the leader of the terrorists was a soul master. He had the detonator for the bombs in his possession. The engine of the train was located in the first carriage, so it continued to glide along the tracks after the eleven carriages behind the fifth were detached. There was a terrorist armed with a soul cannon standing in the corner of that fifth carriage. Now, he needed to figure out how many more terrorists there were and how they were situated in the other carriages.
“Don’t touch anything in here, kid,” the terrorist dragging Ouranos barked.
“Number Three! Watch this kid. He’s a VIP.”
The armored guard looked at Ouranos and slammed him against the floor. Ouranos clenched his fits together as he looked around he let out a deep breath so much blood what the hell is going on why is there so much blood?
“Uncle, I saw blood. There’s a lot of blood over there!” He pointed to the third carriage.
“They’re all dead.” A youth standing off to the side shuddered.
“They killed anyone who resisted. They’re demons. Demons!”
They’re all dead… Ouranos clenched his fist. The youth was warning him. These hostages were gathered in the fourth carriage because the terrorists had killed the rest.
There were still forty minutes left on the clock before all of the bombs detonated. Six of the terrorists were gathered in the fifth carriage, and three in the fourth carriage. A grand total of nine. All of them were armed with soul weapons, including a soul cannon. One was also a soul master, whom Ouranos judged to be a Spirit Elder. He considered all the information gathered from his observations, and came to a quick decision. His eyes flashed gold.
I can do this. Let’s begin!
Ouranos was calm as he closed his eyes he slowly opened his eyes and he stood up and he looked at the bomb. He must take the bomb out of here or at list handle these people.
Ouranos concealed his right hand below a table that was nearby and slowly released tendrils of qukin vine grass, his heart thumping nervously. He suppressed his anxiety and jitters with the experience gleaned from years of blacksmith.
Stay calm, stay calm, this can put everyone in danger no mistake is allowed.
He had been hard at work cultivating at Shrek Academy all this time. His soul power rank and blacksmith skills progressed a significant amount, but this also led to him failing to visit the Heaven Grail Sect. I just need to complete a few more missions. Then I’ll probably be able to learn Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step. I’ll do that after the exam. I have to focus on what’s in front of me first.
He did his best to suppress the flash of purple beneath his feet, but the terrorists still noticed. All of them turned to look at him at the same time.
But it was already too late!
Three shining vines of golden qukin grass shot out from under their feet and impaled them! They were but ordinary people, not soul masters. Wielding soul guns didn’t change the frailty of their bodies, and despite being skewered, they failed to even let out a scream. The effect of Qukin Impaling Array took hold of them too quickly. Their bodies went stiff, their voices silenced.
Ouranos movements were fast he grabbed the first bomb and he crushed it within a second he jumped in the air and he grabbed one of the spirit tool and he shot terrorist on the shoulder and then Ourano turned his eyes straight forward he grabbed the small child and he slid down as he put the child down his qukin vine wrapped around the child as it protect her.
Three bombs had been planted in different parts of the carriage. Ouranos quickly grabbed the second bomb and threw it out as well. Just as he was about to go for the third, one of the terrorists walked in.
“What’s going on!” he yelled as he entered. Before he could even survey the scene, a vine of qukin grass wrapped around his neck and constricted, preventing him from speaking another word. Ouranos continued his work and threw out the third bomb, then darted to the terrorist, knocking him out with a chop to the neck.
Four terrorists down, five to go.
"Boss, one of the cars was cut loose!” one of the terrorists shouted as he opened fire on Ouranos, showering him in beams of soul energy.
Ouranos crouched down behind his claw. Threads of light swirled around his claw, materializing into his gauntlet. A spirit gun was nothing toward a spirit battle armor even a mech.
Ouranos kicked the spirit gun from the ground in the air he courted it as he pointed at one of them. Kill or be killed. Ouranos pulled the triger the next moment the person dropped on the ground. Ouranos let out a sigh the as he killed someone was when he was only nine years but that wasn't even killing but luck.
But the crisis wasn’t over yet. Now wasn’t the time to think twice about his plan of action. He could only resolve this situation with brute force!
Ouranos walked into the fifth carriage to face the last two terrorists. The leader already had Wren in his clutches. He held a gun to her head with one hand, his other hand tightly gripping a detonator. The last of his terrorist flunkies stood with his soul gun pointed at the doorway.
