'As long as we can escape into the residential area and use the complicated terrain as cover, we can definitely shake off our pursuers!'
That was what Wandering Specter Zhong Li and the former Reaper Squad members thought.
The simplest way was to sneak into the residential area and immediately throw incendiary bombs in all directions, igniting seventeen to eighteen buildings, and then kill thirty to fifty people. It was guaranteed that the world would be in chaos, and thousands of residents would run around like headless flies.
Then, they just needed to snatch a few of the residents' hoods and hide their presences before they snuck into the chaotic crowd. Then, they might be able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Ten years ago, Wandering Specter Zhong Li had used a similar method to escape from the gangs' encirclement more than once.
Now, he was doing his old job again, and not only did he not feel the slightest bit rusty, he even felt a strange excitement. 'Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Xiong Wei, so what if you work together? In the past, even Saber Jin Wanhao couldn't kill me. You're far from qualified!'
Just as he expected, Zhong Li heard Meng Chao and the others' exasperated shouts behind him.
They seemed to have realized that it was impossible for them to effectively intercept Zhong Li and the others before they entered the residential area. They could only fire at them in vain.
To Wandering Specter Zhong Li and the other former Reaper Squad members who had received strict training, no matter how dense the barrage of bullets was, they could easily dodge them or activate their spirit energy magnetic fields to change the trajectory of the bullets.
Zhong Li tilted his head and avoided an armor-piercing bullet surrounded by electrical arcs.
When he saw two strands of hair fall off, he grinned and stomped on the wall of Mutual Gold Coliseum.
Hundreds of intersecting cracks appeared on the wall, and his speed rose to another level. He shot toward the residential area like an arrow fired from a bow.
Meng Chao and all the pursuers would not be able to intercept them in time.
Zhong Li even saw a group of unkempt and smelly homeless people curled up under the building in front of him.
He was thinking about killing around five homeless people so that the remaining homeless people would panic and run away. They would scream and cause an avalanche of chaos.
Just when he was about to attack, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a homeless person.
At first glance, this homeless person was no different from the people around him.
In fact?
He only had one hand, one leg, and one eye. His face was covered in scars like Zhong Li's, and his facial features were all twisted together.
It seemed to be extremely miserable.
But why?
See him?
An uncontrollable fear welled up from the depths of Zhong Li's heart.
It was like an ordinary person standing at the top of a cliff, facing a bottomless abyss!
"He … is …"
Zhong Li tried his best to see the homeless man's face, which was hidden under the scar.
But he could only see the other's face, which was even uglier than his.
That one as pure as an ice crystal?
Eyes that were as resplendent as gems and radiated like the scorching sun.
When this eye swept past him, Zhong Li felt as if he was tightly bound by chains woven from lightning.
He was directly frozen in the void.
He could only watch helplessly as his opponent unhurriedly took off his cloak?
Pulling out a dagger that was not much bigger than an embroidery needle?
While yawning?
At the same time, she randomly stabbed at him out of boredom.
"Pu pu pu pu pu!"
The one-legged, one-armed, one-eyed tramp had only stabbed once?
However, hundreds of extremely dazzling starlight rays exploded in the void.
Every single starlight?
They followed an illusory and unpredictable trajectory and landed gently on Zhong Li's body.
They entered the spirit acupoints where his 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians intersected.
Wandering Specter Zhong Li screamed in pain.
Hundreds of wounds appeared all over his body.
Spirit energy gushed out of his wounds in a visible gaseous form.
He was still flailing in the air when he fell to the ground, but his spirit energy had already drained away.
His skin instantly withered like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.
He looked as if he had suffered the most vicious curse.
He turned into a skeleton that was only skin and bones.
When he landed heavily on the ground.
Wandering Specter Zhong Li had already become a puppet whose strings were cut, his joints were crushed, and his body was completely broken.
Even though he was still alive, he could not even move his pinky.
However, he could not even move a finger. Even his breathing and heartbeat were out of his control.
The other former Reaper Squad members were so terrified that they were scared out of their wits.
How could they dare to go forward to help or become enemies with the one-legged, one-armed, and one-eyed tramp?
They looked at each other, and with great teamwork, they ran in different directions and fled in all directions.
The one-legged, one-armed, and one-eyed tramp did not even bat an eyelid. He held a shortsword that looked like a large embroidery needle and flicked it gently. Then, the shortsword, or rather, the needle, flew out.
It was accompanied by a cheerful whistle.
The shortsword was immediately surrounded by spirit flames and electrical arcs. It spun rapidly and moved as fast as lightning. It left behind an elusive afterimage in the air, and in an unbelievable manner, it pierced the former Reaper Squad members' stomachs at the same time.
Aside from the center of the brows, the abdomen was the most important place where the spirit meridians converged.
The one-legged, one-armed, and one-eyed tramp's shortsword seemed to contain incredibly powerful spirit energy. It surged into the former Reaper Squad members' organs and limbs through the wounds on their stomachs.
No matter what sort of cruel and terrifying modifications they received from the monster civilization or what sort of unorthodox methods they had, they were instantly destroyed. They screamed in pain and fell from the air. They could only hold their stomachs and roll around on the ground.
His eye sockets bulged, and his eyes bulged as he stared at the shortsword surrounded by electric arcs. It spun round and round above his head at lightning speed. The shining halo was like an inescapable net, emitting a powerful aura that could suppress everything. It was only then that Wandering Specter Zhong Li and the former members of the Reaper Squad snapped out of their daze and realized what kind of terrifying existence they had encountered.
"D-Deity Realm!"
They screamed in fear and despair. "He's a Deity Realm superhuman!"
…
"Big Sis Ya is really influential."
He stood at the edge of Mutual Gold Coliseum and watched Wandering Specter Zhong Li and the other former Reaper Squad members make a fool of themselves and wait to be captured. Then, he looked at the large embroidery needle that was still spinning and howling. Meng Chao finally released a long sigh of relief and smiled. "Even the legendary Deity Realm superhuman Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue managed to save me!"
"Don't flatter yourself. I'm not that influential. I didn't ask Senior Ye to save you either. She snuck into the lair a long time ago," Lu Siya said.
"Did you think that the outside world would really lock down the lair and that everything would be over?
That they would give up on this place? "
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "Isn't that the case?"
"Of course not. Even though the Survival Committee is temporarily unable to solve the problems in the lair due to financial constraints, lack of space, and other objective reasons, it doesn't mean that we'll give up on the lair and the nearly one million citizens living in it!
"Besides, so many robbers appeared out of nowhere in just a few days, and the Deification Capsules are forbidden drugs that contain unknown technology. It would be strange if there weren't more schemes behind all of this! There's no way we'll just watch the schemes fester in the lair and lie to ourselves that we'll just ignore them.
"In truth, there are two squads that snuck into the lair to investigate the truth. One of them is in the open, and the other is in the dark. On the surface, it's the veteran hunting squad led by Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong, but at the same time you left, Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue led a group of elites from the abnormal beast research department and secret police to secretly infiltrate the lair."
"But Vice Director Ye said …" Meng Chao was shocked.
"Vice Director Ye said that the government had no choice but to lock down the lair and ignore it, right?" Lu Siya smiled.
"That's what happened on the surface, but it's just fake news to make the abnormal beasts and robbers lower their guard.
"Of course we won't give up on the lair, but since the battle at the borders of Dragon City has started at the same time, a lot of resources and powerful fighters have to be mobilized to the frontlines. We don't have enough manpower to send into the lair, and this is a reality that we can't do anything about.
"Right now, Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue is the only top-class fighter who can send into the lair, and she's in Deity Realm.
"Based on normal procedures, Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue would lead a large group of people and enter the lair in a grand fashion. She would look mighty, but the Vortex and its puppets, such as Su Lun, would have split up and vanished once they received the news. They would have either disappeared or come up with a plan to deal with the situation!
"There's only one Deity Realm fighter. Even if he's incredibly powerful, it's impossible for him to split into many clones and capture all the enemies at the same time. If we want Senior Ye to be of the greatest use, we can only patiently wait for the enemies to expose themselves before we strike and kill them all in one go!"
"I see!"
Meng Chao came to a realization.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he had to admit that this was the most effective strategy.
The fighting strength of a Deity Realm superhuman might be unfathomable, but if they fought with real weapons, it would be impossible for them to dig out all the moles lurking in the gangs, and it would also be impossible for them to get rid of all the enemies scattered all over the lair. It would also be difficult for them to resolve the misunderstanding between the villagers and the gangs.
If Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue entered the lair in a flashy manner, with the Vortex's mysteriousness and Red Brows Su Lun's cunning, they had one hundred ways to deal with him without shedding a single drop of blood.
Even if it was Wandering Specter Zhong Li, who was a nobody compared to the Vortex and Red Brows Su Lun, once he put on a hooded cloak, changed his appearance, crawled into the crowd, and fled into the underground maze, Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue would have to dig three feet underground if she wanted to find him. She would have to spend a lot of effort to do so.
Lu Siya glared at Meng Chao and grumbled, "Speaking of which, the investigation of the scheme in the lair has nothing to do with you. How did you get dragged into it?
Lu Siya glared at Meng Chao and grumbled, "I originally didn't want to get involved in the chaos in the lair. Everyone knows that the lair is a huge swamp, and no matter who gets dragged into it, they won't be able to gain any benefits.
"After the incident in Noble Descent Hotel, my grandfather was really happy and valued me. He cast aside a lot of the matters in Sky Pillar Corporation and guided me step by step for more than a month.
"My father also poured in a lot of money and invested an astronomical amount of cultivation resources on me to push my cultivation realm to a brand new level.
"This battle that will decide Dragon City's future is supposed to be a good chance for me to shine. I was planning to beautifully kill a few Hell Beasts and even kill Apocalyptic Beasts with a few Deity Realm seniors under my father's recommendation. I wanted to create a few explosive news articles. I've even bought the news articles from the major media outlets, and I've even bought some traffic.
"But just as I was about to shine, I heard that you turned into a puppet in the lair, betrayed humanity, and even killed your comrades. Do you know how I felt at that time?"
The more Lu Siya spoke, the angrier she became, and she gritted her teeth.
She could not help but extend a finger and jab Meng Chao's chest a few times.
