The most shameless alchemist in history

Even the top-level stones cracked and fell downwards, something that hadn't happened in many years!

To the elders, these were all ominous signs, the best proof that Heaven no longer protected the Land of Thunder!

"You ask me who I am? Oh dear, of course I'm a lost person. As for those who blocked my way, they asked the same question, but now..." She slowly stretched out her hand, and lightning crackled between her slender hands.

The red lightning crackled and popped, making the scene look particularly eerie.

"Red, red lightning? Did you see that? It's red lightning!"

The young guards nearby suddenly felt a sense of panic and involuntarily took a step back.

"Look, I see it! It really is red lightning. You've heard of that legend, haven't you?"

"I've heard it. My grandfather told me since I was little that when red lightning appears, cracks will appear in the sky, the earth will be torn apart, and our Land of Lightning will be destroyed..." The young soldiers trembled with fear.

"Shut up! Those are all baseless rumors, how could you believe them? All of you, shut up!"

The officer berated the guards behind him, even though he had heard the rumor himself.

However, he knew that as the commander here, he could not waver in the slightest.

"It's true!" a voice suddenly came.

"What?" The officer looked over in surprise and realized that it was the woman who had spoken.

"That rumor is true. The red lightning is the lightning of destruction and death. Its appearance will make the Land of Lightning pay a corresponding price."

She stopped a short distance from the officer and spoke slowly.

"What price? What nonsense are you spouting? I warn you, leave Thunder Tower immediately and cooperate with our investigation, or I will shoot you here!" the officer shouted sternly.

He knew that the Thunder Tower was of utmost importance and that no mistakes could be tolerated.

"Then give it a try," she said with a smile.

"What?" The officer was stunned. He really couldn't understand it. This woman exuded a mysterious and eerie aura.

"Try and see if you can kill me," she said, her smile undiminished.

"Are you crazy? Where did this crazy woman come from?" The officer suddenly realized that cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

"Are you crazy...? If you don't try, then I'll have to." She licked her scarlet lips.

"What do you want to try?" The officer instinctively took a step back.

He was under a lot of pressure!

"Test whether your body can withstand the red lightning." She took another step forward.

This was an extremely dangerous signal. The officer dared not hesitate any longer and immediately fired at her!

"boom!"

As he fired, the guards behind him also opened fire.

If a dozen or so gunpowder guns were fired at the same time, an ordinary person would be riddled with holes in an instant!

But those who can come here alone are not ordinary people.

At least she certainly isn't.

Then, in the officer's view, he discovered something extremely strange.

All the bullets stopped in mid-air, unable to advance any further.

"What's going on? Why isn't she injured?" The guards looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never encountered anything like this before.

"Now it's my turn." She continued forward.

"Don't be afraid, everyone open fire and kill this woman!" the officer shouted.

He continued to reload and fire at the woman. He knew it was his duty to protect this place, and he could not back down!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Gunshots rang out continuously.

Thick smoke billowed ahead as the gunpowder gun fired.

"Did we succeed?" The guards were confident that even a strong bison would be killed by their intense fire.

But at this time...

"What's that?" a guard asked, pointing to the area filled with smoke.

"Hiss hiss hiss."

The red lightning flashed continuously, creating a chilling effect amidst the billowing smoke!

"I have a bad feeling about this..." one of the guards swallowed hard.

"Well... here I come!"

Colonel Reynolds 928

The upheaval that occurred at Raito Tower was undoubtedly a major event in the Land of Lightning.

On several nearby main streets, a large number of guards surrounded and heavily blocked the streets.

"What exactly happened here? Why did the Thunder Tower suddenly collapse? What happened inside?" Colonel Renault was ordered to come and provide support.

Colonel Reynolds, in his early twenties, with stylish blond curly hair and a cigar in hand, pulled up on his roaring motorcycle and immediately asked the guards nearby.

As a rising star in the Land of Lightning's army, he had already obtained the rank of colonel at a young age, and according to the bigwigs in the Land of Lightning's army, Colonel Reno would be promoted to brigadier general in at most three years.

This was almost four years earlier than when General Lei Ming was promoted to the rank of general.

Colonel Renault's ability to achieve this level is not due to his illustrious family background, but rather to his own exceptional military skills. His strategic vision, tactical command, and personal abilities are all outstanding, earning him the title of the most outstanding young man in the Land of Lightning.

Many people believe that when General Thunder retires from the Land of Thunder's army, Colonel Reno will undoubtedly be General Thunder's successor.

While General Lei Ming was at the border and not in the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder, the emergency situation that had occurred in the capital naturally required this young officer to go and provide support.

"Reporting to Colonel, someone has just broken into the Thunder Tower. We are now doing our best to stop them." An officer on the scene immediately rushed over to report the situation. Although he was much older than Renault, firstly, his rank was lower than Renault's, and secondly, he had no way to deal with the current emergency. Only someone like Renault could handle it.

"Someone actually dared to infiltrate Thunder Tower? How many people came?" Renault lit another cigarette and asked slowly.

While everyone else was panicking and at a loss, Renault remained calm and unhurried.

"It seems there's only one person, and it's a woman." The officer reported the situation to Renault with utmost respect, but this composure was not something he possessed.

"Are you sure it was just a woman who broke into Thunder Tower and routed our defending troops?" Renault asked softly after slowly exhaling a smoke ring.

"This? Your Excellency, according to our intelligence, it seems that is indeed the case." The officer, sweating profusely, answered respectfully.

"This is really interesting. Our soldiers from the Land of Thunder can't even beat a woman, and she even managed to break into our forbidden area. If this gets out, where will the soldiers of the Land of Thunder put their faces?" Renault stubbed out his cigarette and asked after figuring out what had happened.

"That woman is just too powerful. Even though we tried our best, we felt we couldn't stop her, and we suffered huge losses," the officer replied tremblingly.

"You mean... a powerful woman? That seems interesting. Besides that woman named Ziyan from the Flame Kingdom, are there any other powerful women? I've always wanted to go to the border to fight that person, but I was forced to stay in the capital and didn't have the chance. Now that a so-called powerful woman has suddenly appeared here, I'd like to see just how powerful she is. So, seal off the entire Thunder Tower. Don't let a single mosquito escape." Renault coldly relayed the order, speaking with great interest.

"Understood. Colonel Renault, I will immediately arrange for my men to accompany you into Thunder Tower to arrest the trespasser who entered the restricted area." The officer was about to gather his men.

"No need."

"what?"

"Don't you understand what I mean? I'm saying there's no need. Why go to such lengths to deal with a woman? You all just keep watch outside. I'll go in and take care of her by myself." Renault took an iron bar from his motorcycle, his usual weapon.

He habitually lit another cigarette, looked up at the Thunder Tower that was still billowing thick smoke, and said.

"Oh? Alone? But what if something happens to you, Colonel Reynolds..." the officer said with some concern.

"What's going on? Are you trying to say I can't even handle a woman? Alright, everyone stay here, I'm going." Renault quickly entered the Thunder Tower.

"Um... sir, is this really alright? What if something goes wrong if Colonel Reynolds goes in alone?" an adjutant asked worriedly.

"Since it's Colonel Reynolds' request, we subordinates should naturally obey. Besides, although that woman is formidable, if her opponent is Colonel Reynolds, shouldn't we be worried about her safety and pray that she won't be killed by Colonel Reynolds?" the officer said dismissively.

“Sir, you’re right. I almost forgot that Colonel Reno is the second strongest warrior in our Land of Thunder after General Thunder. In fact, in some ways, Colonel Reno is even better than General Thunder. If Colonel Reno is in charge, there certainly won’t be any problems. So let’s guard this place properly.” The adjutant thought for a moment and agreed.

Inside the Thunder Tower, more than a dozen guards lay on the ground, leaving only a terrified officer trembling.

"It seems I overestimated you; you cannot withstand the power of the red lightning."

The woman in the red dress spoke slowly and deliberately.

If the officer had previously been confident and calmly directed his subordinates to attack the woman in front of him,

Now, witnessing his men fall one by one, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't harm her in the slightest.

This made the officer feel extremely desperate, and he kept backing away, trying to keep his distance from the woman.

He has a wife and children at home who need his support; he doesn't want to die here!

"Are you scared?" the woman asked him with a smile.

"No, don't come any closer, don't come any closer..." The officer's lips were turning blue and purple.

"Actually, you don't need to be afraid. Death is just a matter of a moment, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It can also be a kind of liberation."

The woman slowly reached out her hand to the officer, with red lightning crackling between her hands.

This made the officer shout out, because he had just witnessed his comrade being killed by this red lightning!

"Hey." Just then, someone shouted from not far away.

The woman slowly turned around and saw that the person who had called out to her was a young man carrying an iron rod.

"Chi chi chi!"

The officer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young man approaching in the instant she turned around.

Because he knew who the young man was, he thought he was finally safe.

But in the instant he relaxed his guard, red lightning wrapped around his entire body, and before he could react, he collapsed.

Like his men, he would never be able to open his eyes again.

"You're the woman who broke into Thunder Tower, aren't you? Aren't you being a bit too unruly? I'm already here, and you still dare to attack my subordinates in front of me. You're showing me no respect at all!" The young man, none other than Renault, questioned.

"Because he talks way too much. But... I've been here for so long, I thought no one in this country could stop me. I didn't expect there to be a handsome young man with some skills." She said with a soft smile.

“While I agree with what you said, don’t think that just because you praise me, I will ignore what you’ve done. You’ve killed so many of my men. Do you know what the consequences will be?” Renault walked over and asked.

"Oh? What are the consequences? I really don't know. Could you tell me?" she asked with a smile.
