Su Lun's expression was twisted and resigned.
It was as if he was asking himself, 'How could I be defeated by such a rascal?'
"Surrender, Su Lun!"
Meng Chao took a heavy step forward and said loudly, "From the moment I temporarily quelled the chaos in Leprosy Village and stopped the villagers from rushing out, and from the moment Big Sis Ya decided to enter the lair to personally investigate the truth, you've already lost. Everything you did after that was just your final struggle, and you're sinking even deeper.
"Or are you really going to drag the entire lair down with you?"
Su Lun stared at Meng Chao.
Half a minute later, he clapped slowly and cheered for Meng Chao.
"Meng Chao, as expected of the most outstanding person among the younger generation in Dragon City. It's no wonder why even Queen Bee Lu Siya is bewitched and listens to you!
"I swore that I didn't underestimate you. Once I learned that you were involved in this matter, I became incredibly wary and set up more than ten traps to deal with you.
"I didn't expect that you would still be able to break them and turn the tables on me.
"I, Red Brows Su Lun, admit defeat wholeheartedly!"
His voice gradually turned from calm to shrill.
His presence was also completely different from before.
Even the shadow that was reflected in the flames seemed to be extending and splitting endlessly.
From a thin and long human figure, it turned into a monstrous and terrifying monster.
"But I won't surrender just like this."
Su Lun cackled strangely. "Even if you and Lu Siya are the outstanding elites of the Golden Era, you might not be able to kill me!"
It was accompanied by a burst of crackling sounds of bones exploding.
Su Lun's aura underwent an earth-shattering change.
Just a moment ago, he had been a powerless lair advisor.
But now, he was like a saber that had absorbed more than one hundred people's blood. A killing intent that seemed to have gained physical form filled the entire space.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya's expressions changed swiftly.
'This guy really is hiding his strength!'
Meng Chao felt as if he had returned to the wild and was facing a terrifying hunter lurking in the depths of a swamp.
There were plenty of hunters who pretended to be weak in the forest. They would pretend to be low-grade monsters to lure the predators.
When the predator bit them, they would reveal their ferocious true faces, letting the so-called "predator" know who was the real food today.
Right then, Red Brows Su Lun gave Meng Chao the feeling that he was a top-class predator in sheep's clothing.
Even though Su Lun was definitely not strong enough to win or kill Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
But on the other hand, based on his astonishing vitality magnetic field, if Meng Chao and Lu Siya wanted to kill him, they would have to pay a devastating price.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other.
Both of their expressions became extremely nervous and cautious.
Swoosh!
Meng Chao raised his hands, and Bloody Soul and Ghost Blade flew into his hands from the ground behind him.
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
Lu Siya whistled. The shattered stones and reinforced concrete on the ground were attracted by the spirit energy magnetic field again. They floated in the air and formed a brand new stone dragon.
The stone throne beneath her split into nine more stone snakes that bared their sharp fangs at Su Lun.
Both sides were like arrows that had been drawn to their limits, and they let out creaking sounds.
The air was so tense that it was about to be torn apart.
A bloody battle was about to break out at any moment.
At that moment, Meng Chao flicked his chain saber, and it let out a loud clang.
The chains clashed against each other, and thousands of sparks flew out. The heat in the air exploded, and it attracted Su Lun's attention.
Su Lun had long since heard about Meng Chao's elusive chain saber.
When the first spark exploded, he thought of more than one hundred possible attacks with the chain saber.
He also calculated the corresponding dodging and counterattack methods for each attack route.
However, just when he mobilized all his muscles to deliver a destructive attack on the most likely attack route for Meng Chao, a power that was ten times more violent than his, Meng Chao's, and Lu Siya's suddenly appeared behind him.
It was as if a dimensional door had been quietly opened half a meter behind him.
The 'mudslide', which weighed tens of thousands of tons, poured out of the void unstoppably and smashed into his back.
Su Lun screamed in pain.
He felt as if his spine had shattered into thousands of bone spikes.
Every bone spur turned into a red-hot iron nail that pierced his nerves, flesh, and internal organs.
Su Lun could not fight back against the unexpected and peerless attack.
He flew forward and flew four meters before he crashed on the ground. He landed at Meng Chao's feet with his face on the ground.
Su Lun coughed up blood.
He felt as if the flood in his throat had broken through the dam, and he could not stop it no matter what.
The spirit flames that had just been lit in each of his cells were instantly extinguished.
There was also a ball of rampaging spirit energy that did not belong to him. It flowed madly through his limbs and ravaged his blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians, causing him so much pain that he started crying and twitching like an ugly lobster.
Su Lun was forced back to his original form.
This time, he really did not have the strength to even truss a chicken.
He looked up with great difficulty and saw Meng Chao's disdainful and pitying gaze.
And in the reflection in Meng Chao's eyes, he saw a figure that should not have appeared in this place.
"Xiong … Xiong Wei!"
Su Lun screamed, scared out of his wits.
While Meng Chao and Lu Siya were diverting Su Lun's attention, the person who suddenly appeared behind him and dealt the final blow was the second strongest fighter in the lair, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei!
Only someone at Xiong Wei's level could destroy all of Su Lun's resistance with one palm strike.
"That's impossible …" Su Lun could not believe it.
Su Lun could not believe it. "You were clearly fighting against the monsters who ate a lot of Deification Capsules. I heard your roars and the vitality magnetic field you released. Was that all fake?"
"That's right."
Phantom Bear Xiong Wei looked like a vengeful ghost who had crawled out of the depths of hell. Dark spirit flames surrounded him, and he stared at Su Lun with a gaze that made it seem as if he could eat him and his armor without even dipping them in vinegar.
Black Bone's gang leader enunciated each word and gritted his teeth. "All of that was fake. The person who killed Xiong Ying was right in front of me. Why would I fight against a few monsters?"
"But it doesn't make sense!"
Su Lun knew that he had lost the upper hand this time. His face was incredibly pale, but there were still many questions he could not figure out. "Y-When did you work together with Meng Chao and Lu Siya?"
"When Meng Chao released the rats that were stained with Red Radiance Jade powder," Lu Siya answered the question on behalf of Xiong Wei.
"At that time, I pretended to have discovered Meng Chao's tracks and went to chase after him with Gang Leader Xiong. In truth, I did it to shake you off so that Gang Leader Xiong and I could talk to each other in the depths of the ventilation pipe. It's a quiet place where no one is around and is calm enough."
"You …"
Su Lun could not believe it. "At that time, you were certain that I was the traitor and not Xiong Wei?"
"I told you just now that you were too impatient. You seemed to be even more eager to kill Meng Chao than Gang Leader Xiong," Lu Siya said.
"Even if we ignore this, you're even more suspicious than Gang Leader Xiong.
"The reason is simple. Saber Jin Wanhao has already died. Even if he's not dead, his body has completely broken down. From today onwards, the lair has entered the post-Jin Wanhao era.
"Gang Leader Xiong is the biggest beneficiary of the Saber's death. As long as news spreads out, he will become the new strongest fighter in the lair. Without any effort, he will be able to suppress Golden Tooth and make Black Bone the strongest gang in the lair. Then, he will obtain a lot of benefits.
"Let me ask you, the situation is good, so why would he lower himself to become a monster's lapdog?"
Su Lun found himself speechless.
He gritted his teeth for a long time before he looked up and stared at Xiong Wei. "But even if Lu Siya believes that you're not the traitor, why would you stand on her side and let Meng Chao go?
"You have to know that Xiong Ying was indeed killed by Meng Chao. A few elites have examined his corpse, and even Lu Siya has personally examined his corpse. She can prove that every wound on Xiong Ying's body, including the fatal wound on his chest, was caused by Meng Chao!
"Lu Siya, would you dare say that Meng Chao wasn't the one who caused those wounds?
"Meng Chao, would you dare say that you didn't kill Xiong Ying?"
Lu Siya and Meng Chao looked at each other.
A strange light shone in both of their eyes.
"Yes, I admit that every wound on Xiong Ying's corpse was caused by Meng Chao," Lu Siya said calmly.
"I admit that I was the one who killed Xiong Ying," Meng Chao said calmly.
"Did you hear that, Gang Leader Xiong? He admitted it!"
Su Lun looked as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Meng Chao killed your son! This is the truth!"
"I know."
Xiong Wei's face was filled with pain, and no one could bear to look at him. He sucked in a deep breath and said clearly, "They weren't the only ones who examined his corpse. Even I personally examined, touched, and even opened … every wound on Xiong Ying's body without anyone's knowledge.
"Meng Chao is a rising star in the superhuman circle. Of course I've studied his fighting videos, and I'm very familiar with his fighting style, including his unique Bloody Soul.
"That's why I've been certain that Xiong Ying was indeed killed by Meng Chao."
Su Lun was completely confused. "If that's the case, how did you —"
"But after I personally examined Xiong Ying's corpse, there's a problem that I can't figure out. Vice Gang Leader Su, you might be able to use the smartest brain in the lair to help me unravel the mystery."
Xiong Wei stared at Su Lun. His eyes were completely bloodshot, and he said in a quivering voice, "No one knows a son better than his father. Even though I dote on Xiong Ying a lot, as his father, I know just how strong he is.
"With Meng Chao's fighting strength, if he really wanted to kill Xiong Ying, one slash would have been enough.
"Even if it was dark, they ran into each other on a narrow path, the battlefield was chaotic, and Xiong Ying performed exceptionally well under the threat of death, all sorts of factors were taken into account. In less than ten moves, Xiong Ying would have definitely died in Meng Chao's hands.
"Vice Gang Leader Su, tell me, why did Xiong Ying have dozens of slash wounds left behind by Meng Chao?"
