The tunnel led straight to the VIP rooms prepared for VIP guests.

  Meng Chao released his spirit energy to scan the area and immediately heard the faint breathing, heartbeats, and conversations in the VIP rooms on both sides.

  The people inside were most likely the office and intelligence staff. They were currently anxiously gathering and analyzing the newest war reports.

  Red Brows Su Lun did not seem to have noticed that there was someone following him.

  But even if he did, it would not matter.

  He quickly turned a corner and opened a door to a VIP room.

  Meng Chao did not hear any other breathing or heartbeat in the areas ahead.

  So, he quickened his footsteps.

  It was only then that Su Lun heard the slightly urgent footsteps and sensed the murderous intent that spilled out of the cracks of Meng Chao’s heavy armor.

  He was slightly stunned and turned around in slight puzzlement.

  Meng Chao tore off his disguise, and his speed instantly increased ten times. Like a hungry wolf pouncing on a lamb, he knocked the two surprised guards into the wall and rendered them unconscious.

  Then, without slowing down, he grabbed Su Lun and fell into the VIP room.

  Meng Chao had just used his spirit energy to scan the room. It had only three heartbeats inside, and their vitality magnetic fields were relatively weak.

  Even if they were superhumans, their cultivation realms would not be high. There was a high possibility that they were not martial artists, but strategists who used their brains to earn a living.

  Just as he expected, when they saw a murderous heavy armor crashing into the room, the three strategists were stunned.

  Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

  The machine gun on Meng Chao’s heavy armor had a large diameter, and now, it acted like a hungry python that bit into the three strategists’ brows and neck.

  When the bullets that were thicker than thumbs brushed past the three’s chests, Meng Chao’s killing intent had already mixed with his spirit energy, and like an invisible icicle, it crept into their brains.

  The killing intent from the apocalypse was incomparably intimidating to low-grade superhumans.

  The nerve endings of the three strategists’ brains, spines, bones, and nerve endings froze over. Forget about moving, they even had a hard time breathing.

  Red Brows Su Lun crashed into a couch in the VIP room.

  The couch instantly shattered to pieces.

  The man was also knocked off kilter. He grunted and coughed up blood.

  But his expression remained as calm as ever, as if he was not surprised by the intruder’s ambush.

  He waved his hand for the three strategists to not move or speak so that they would not be killed.

  Then, he licked the blood off his lips and stared at the intruder. “Meng Chao?”


  “That’s right.” Meng Chao lifted the mask of the heavy armor and grinned. “Hi, Vice Gang Leader Su.”


  “You can’t escape,” Su Lun said gravely. “There are plenty of people moving up and down the tunnel. Very soon, they will notice the two unconscious guards outside, and you will die.”


  “I don’t intend to run.” Meng Chao smiled. “Let me ask you a question. When someone frames you for stealing and meticulously plans the item to be stolen, sets a trap for you, and even brings false witnesses to testify against you so that you would fall into a seemingly foolproof net, how will you explain things for yourself?

  “Heh, no matter what method you use to explain things, you’re already in the enemy’s trap. The correct answer isn’t to hurriedly explain what is going on, but to look for the person who set you up, then beat him up to the point that his parents can’t recognize him and he can’t even speak.

  “After that, he can slowly explain things. By then, you won’t have to worry about what sort of troubles the person who framed you will bring you.”


  “I don’t understand what you’re trying to say,” Su Lun said.

  “You do,” Meng Chao said. “When the plan is set up meticulously and you don’t have the time to slowly decipher the complicated situation, playing the hooligan and overturning the entire chess board is also a way to destroy the trap.

  “I know that if I killed you, others would probably not listen to me. It might even prove that I’m the monsters’ puppet.

  “But I would never be able to explain things clearly, anyway. If I let you stay around, who knows how else you’ll slander me? Since you’re the abnormal beast’s right-hand man, I might as well just let the situation continue rotting and kill you. Then, I’ll be able to somewhat hold back or interfere with the abnormal beast’s scheme.

  “No matter how I try to settle scores, I think killing you is the best way to do it, right?”


  “I still don’t understand what you’re trying to say, Meng Chao. It seems like there is some misunderstanding between us.” Su Lun still remained calm. He was even trying to give Meng Chao guidance. “Many things have happened in the lair over the past twelve hours, and some bad rumors have sprung up. Honestly speaking, I don’t quite want to believe them. You’re the hero of Dragon City, but you betrayed your comrades and your home?

  “So, if there is really a misunderstanding and you were set up by someone, why don’t we sit down and talk about it so that we can explain things? Trust me, once we get down to the truth, you will obtain justice.”


  “Su Lun, do all scumbags in human clothing and traitors have such strong mental fortitude as you? Are all of them able to spew nonsense without batting an eyelid, just like you? Are they as greedy as you are? Or are you the only one like that?”


  Meng Chao suddenly moved all of the gun muzzles, and an astonishing killing intent gathered around him. “But it doesn’t matter what glib tongue you have or how good you are at lying, you’re going to die today. Even if the Gods appear, no one can save you!”


  When Su Lun faced Meng Chao’s killing intent that was about to take physical form, his eyelids finally twitched.

  Meng Chao’s plan to use brute force and be completely unreasonable seemed to be against his expectations.

  “Oh, there’s one person who can save you, and that’s yourself.” Meng Chao suddenly changed the topic, “Honestly, I don’t quite believe that you’re a helpless military adviser, or rather, since you joined the monster civilization, you must have obtained some benefits. Even if you were never good at fighting, as a mole of the monster civilization who infiltrated human civilization, you should have more or else gotten yourself some power.

  “I admit that I’m taking a gamble, but it’s your fault for setting such a good scheme. Aside from this, I have no other method to deal with you.

  “Now, let us take a bet and see whether you can dodge hundreds of spirit energy-laced bullets!

  “If you can dodge them, it’ll mean that you possess power that others don’t know about and you will have to explain exactly how you obtained this power.

  “If you can’t, I’ll sit on your mangled body and wait for people to capture me, then slowly explain to Lu Siya and Xiong Wei why I had to kill you. When you have too many debts, you stop worrying about another one, and when you’ve been slandered to the point your reputation is completely ruined, you won’t mind another dark splotch. In any case, because of you framing me, I’ve already ‘killed’ a lot of people, so I don’t really care if your name were added to that list.”


  “W-Wait.”


  Cold sweat finally broke out on Su Lun’s forehead, but his eyes remained as calm as ever, and a mocking look that he usually kept carefully hidden showed up. “Before you kill me, don’t you want to figure out something strange?

  “I knew that you had snuck in, so why would I take only two guards with me, strut to the depths of the tunnel, and give you the chance to attack me?”


  Meng Chao’s pupils shrank.

  Bang!

  The door behind him shattered from killing intent that was ten times fiercer than his.

  Queen Bee Lu Siya and Phantom Bear Xiong Wei stood outside quietly.

  In the tunnel behind them were nearly one hundred fighters in heavy armor. They filled up the whole area.

  There was also a large group of armed forces in the open-air arena; he could see them beyond the wide French window in the VIP room. They pushed over dozens of light and heavy anti-aircraft artillery and blocked even the cracks that could only accommodate flies.

  Lu Siya and Xiong Wei’s faces were stark white.

  Lu Siya’s face was shrouded in deep disappointment.

  Xiong Wei was angry, but he could not hide his greed.

  He looked like he wanted to eat Meng Chao whole without any cutlery or spices.

  “I personally saw Xiong Ying’s corpse.” Lu Siya’s voice was like a gust of cold wind that came from the depths of hell. “His chest wound was left by Bloody Saber, wasn’t it?”


  “Yeah……” Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya, then at Xiong Wei. Even though he felt resigned, he could only say something really cliche. “But let me explain.”


  “Sure.” Lu Siya smiled. She activated her heavy armor and tapped the floor with her toes. “I’ll listen to you explain once I send you to the depths of hell.”


  “Wait—”


  Meng Chao still wanted to speak, but Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s killing intent had already turned into spirit flames that could destroy cities. It went straight for Meng Chao’s skull, and he had nowhere to hide from it.

  “Die, traitor!”


  Xiong Wei’s weapon was a pair of motorized gloves made of special alloy and the bones of a Hell Beast.

  Five hollowed monster fangs were embedded at the end of the gloves.

  At first glance, they were like two huge bear paws that could destroy everything with ease.

  Over the past few decades, plenty of monsters had died under Giant Spirit Bear Paws.

  When Xiong Wei was sixty years old, he showcased his motorized gloves to the public. Within ten seconds, the monster fang-embedded gloves tore apart an abandoned heavy armored vehicle until it was no more than the size of a fist. Then, he became a legendary martial artist who was only second to Saber Jin Wanhao in Golden Tooth Lair.

  Meng Chao did not mind being brutally injured if it meant he could drag his enemy down to hell, but he did not want to end up being severely injured when Phantom Bear Xiong Wei was deceived and blinded with rage, especially when the real enemy, Red Brows Su Lun, was close to him.

  When the attack came, he found that he no longer had time to draw his saber, so he could only swing two heavy machine guns to block it.

  The two’s spirit energies crashed into each other, and the two heavy machine guns instantly turned into metal twist bread.

  Meng Chao’s heavy motorized armor let out cracking sounds, signalling metal fatigue. A number of machine components and reactive armor cracked and flew away.

  Even the red carpet made of monster pelt under his feet was torn by spirit energy, and a palm print that was more than one meter wide appeared on it.

  The cement under the palm print was destroyed by the wind created by the attack.

  Meng Chao coughed up blood.

  He heard his joints moan.

  Damn it. Phantom Bear Xiong Wei had actually drained his spirit energy regardless of the cost due to the shock of losing his son, and his fighting strength had reached the levels of Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu!
