236: Chapter 217: Hunting for Prey 236: Chapter 217: Hunting for Prey Lu Ping’an arrived slightly late. He first went to the hotel and saw the mess inside. Bodyless corpses lay in one corner of the room, while two heads with eyes wide open lay in another. The uniforms on these corpses revealed their identities. “The older one died from a shattered heart that started from the back, his chest also broke due to a heavy blow. The younger one was directly strangled, clearly overpowered.” The Special Service Team actually had limited manpower. At this point, the only reserve combat power for Watchers were two relatively ordinary 2-tiers. They could not resist facing off against a fourth-tier “Gourmet” with a BUFF advantage and a sudden backstab. “Where are they?” Lu Ping’an remained calm, taking pictures and sending them through internal channels to those who needed to know. From this moment on, the Ancient City’s official and the Church of the Lady of the Forest sent teams to turn against each other, warrants would be slapped on their faces… A routine practice, but unfortunately, the conflict could only be limited to the lower levels. “They haven’t gone far, only a few kilometers away. Our speed should be faster.” In this era and within the Illusionary Realm, the mobility of a Silver War transformed bird is considered groundbreaking. On the other hand, Fang Wen hadn’t lost track of them; they seemed to take away their spoils of war – the boot armor. If Long Yuhe hasn’t recovered enough to use weapons, they might not have discovered the transmitter. “Let’s go, let’s catch up…” ——– ——– Gao Changpeng was somewhat annoyed. Anyone in his situation would feel the same way. “Beep Beep Beep!” Furiously, he banged on the steering wheel and rolled down the window to yell at the car in front. But like him, many other people did the same, and it made no difference… Being angry during a traffic jam would only increase blood pressure, and nothing could change it. As the Calamity Descends, even though television repeatedly broadcasts everything is under control, and there is no need to panic—various secret realms and pollution sources are also under control, with no large-scale casualties (above three digits) happening. Still, people couldn’t help but flee from the city in panic. Gao Changpeng was stuck in the middle of the traffic, the extremely slow speed was driving him mad. But he knew that his current anxiety didn’t just stem from the congestion… “Sun Yinbing is dead. Just like that, a senseless death?” He was distraught upon hearing of his friend’s demise from Liu Zibei’s message. Similarly, talented fourth-tier masters died mysteriously from being hit by a “meteor,” their lives lost instantly. He grieved for his friend but felt more… “…If it was me who went, it probably wouldn’t make a difference. During these confrontations between sixth-tier experts, people like us are just losers…” An inexplicable sense of powerlessness gave rise to his heart. Although the legacy of the “Balancing Disaster Beast” was great, it is only worth acquiring if one remains alive. Even if Liu Zibei emerged victorious in the end, would he share the spoils with him? It would be considered lucky if Liu didn’t just kill him to silence him. With the enmity between the Lin Nu’s Church and the Mother Goddess cult, if Liu Zibei really obtained the legacy and the Divine Foundation, could he still stay in Lin Nu’s Church? “Liu has other fifth-tier underlings, but he picked both of us fourth-tier to accompany him, aren’t we least threatening to his position…” Nobody is stupid, at some point, he even wished the traffic would last longer so he wouldn’t have to meet Liu in time. “Hurry up, are you stupid? Just run into them!” The noisy person behind him added to his annoyance. Compared to the previous disaster, in just over ten minutes, Long Yuhe’s mutilated body had regenerated the upper half. The back seat was filled with empty bags of junk food and water bottles. Regeneration consumed a lot of energy, and once the restraints were removed, her regenerative abilities rapidly increased. She mockingly berated Gao Changpeng and he had no doubt that once she recovered, she would turn against him… He never thought they would have to cooperate again when he bullied and interrogated her before. “What if…” An urge suddenly came to him, to just kill the person behind him and then leave this city. However, he realized that he had already killed a cop, and without the Church’s protection, he wouldn’t last long. Was this all a part of Liu’s plan? With the traffic jam and increasingly scorching weather, while the person behind him continued to spit venom, he became even more irritated. But he was unaware that a more significant problem was already lurking… “Boom!” A sudden heavy blow almost crushed the roof of the car. The next moment, a bizarre silver face appeared, hanging upside down from above. “Found you…” At this moment, Gao Changpeng’s hairs stood on end, sensing an imminent death. “…Wait!” But words had no meaning, and the tearing car body symbolized the awakening of the hunter. “Crack!” The metallic exterior turned into shredded paper, the sixth-tier mechanical war beast was covered with sharp blades, and in an instant, the metallic vehicle turned into a metal cage being cut apart, forcing Gao Changpeng to jump out! “Take me with you…” The scream from behind came from a woman without a lower half. But now, Gao Changpeng didn’t even look back, hesitated, abandoned the car and started running. “Clang!” But the silver blade light blocked him, even in terms of speed, he could not possibly match the Silver War. “Rumble!” The poor car had already turned into a fireball, surrounded by fleeing crowds and screams. On the ground not far away, there was a “black man” cursing nonstop… the heavily injured Dragon Yuhe demonstrated the robust vitality of a modified human. “Wait a moment, Your Excellency Fang Wen, we can talk. My direct superior, Bishop Liu Zibei, and your organization’s Lord Long have already joined forces…” With the blade light in front of him, Gao Changpeng closed his eyes and gave up resistance, just quickly saying the keywords. “….They sent an invitation to you, hoping for you to join the alliance, first clean up those small fishes, then decide on the ownership of the final treasure!” The blade tip stopped at his throat, Gao Changpeng’s back was soaked in sweat, but he squeezed a smile on his face, knowing that he had won the bet. Fang Wen hesitated, if this invitation was real, it was indeed very tempting – joining forces with Long Qianlan and the others was much more reliable than being with a “2-tier.” More importantly, she had already betrayed the “God,” how could she dare to see “Him” again…. There is only one time and countless times for betrayal, Fang Wen hesitated again, she subconsciously turned her head, but saw a horrifying scene. “Don’t…” The scream of protest was already too late. “Ah!” The sharp scream stopped abruptly halfway through. A shadow wearing a mask, holding a pale silver battle axe, had already split Dragon Yuhe’s head in half. One by one, as if worried about her regeneration, cutting it finely, small, and with shattered pieces. The brain had turned into a mush, if it could still regenerate after this, it would no longer be a modified human, but a modified slime. “Bang!” When the last axe fell, the whole scene was covered in blood, but the person under the mask just looked at Fang Wen once, and the synthetic voice uttered a command. “Kill him.” Dragon Yuhe was dead, killed by “Fang Wen”, and any further jumping across was completely impossible… at the next moment, the silver war machine started up again. However, it was not to execute Lu Ping’an’s command to kill Gao Changpeng, but to face Lu Ping’an himself! Thousands of blade lights were dancing wildly, but the “masked man” remained motionless. Knife marks were all around him, the silver blade was right in front of him, the masked man silently reached out, trying to grab the blade’s edge. The next moment, all the blade lights vanished without a trace, the silver war machine took a step back, glared angrily at Lu Ping’an, and then focused on the escaping Gao Changpeng. The next moment, the silver light reappeared. Blade light turned into a deadly whirlwind. When the wind stopped, all that remained was a pool of flesh and blood on the ground. Gao Changpeng did not have the “contract of non-attack”, which could restrain Fang Wen, the mad dog. With things getting out of hand, Lu Ping’an shook his head, turned around, and left… Originally, he wanted to frame Gao Changpeng for killing Dragon Yuhe and fleeing in fear, but how could he fabricate things looking like this now. “Besides, letting Fang Wen take the blame, cutting off her retreat, might be a better choice… Heh, Big Cat, you really deserve to be a disciple.” “I suspect you’re insinuating something about me, but I have no evidence.” After witnessing everything, Big Cat was also somewhat questioning his life choices. “How could I build a church that was worse than Lin Nu’s back then? Perhaps this is the reason.” Big Cat seriously reflected whether his organization structure and rules were problematic in the first place. Of course, Lu Ping’an didn’t care how Big Cat thought. He just picked up the most valuable spoil of war… the boot armor he had coveted for a long time! He took advantage of someone still venting their anger on the corpse, quickly putting it on. Then he turned around and said to Fang Wen. “Tsk, it’s a bit tight. Hey, over there, come here and help me adjust it so it fits better.” Instantly, she exploded in anger once again.
