Lord of End of World

Chapter 151

Gong Lixin’s fingers moved slightly and a strong killing intent flowed out from his dark eyes. This kind of killing intent was diffused in the hall with the outpouring of his aura, making it hard for everyone to breathe. Feeling some bone-chilling cold climb from the soles of their feet to their spine, they all shuddered. Unexpectedly, the most inconspicuous young man was the most terrifying existence in the Gong family. No wonder He Jin was willing to follow him. No wonder the Gong family’s base’s members was indifferent to the Song family’s base’s solicitation. Even the arrogant Song Haoxuan had to admit that it was their great luck to be around such a top ability user.

The two confronted each other for a moment. When they though that Song Haoxuan was approaching his limit and would make his move, Gong Yuanhang quickly interrupted. “Lixin, don’t make trouble at your brother’s base.”

After that, the killing intent disappeared. Gong Lixin nodded and walked back to his original seat. Gong Yuanhang looked toward Song Haoxuan and repeatedly made excuses, saying that the child was spoiled and had a short temper. He asked the other to be tolerant.

Song Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand with a smirk, setting Gong Yuanhang at ease. A full blow of his ability only hurt the opponent’s skin. If the other person really hit him, he knew that he would be defeated.

Song Haoxuan’s subordinates secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and examined the Gong family and his party with new eyes. His attitude slightly changed then.

“I don’t know why Young Master Gong attacked?” Zheng Chaohe gripped the glass in his hand and asked on behalf of Song Haoxuan. When something went wrong, the others had to pose questions to let Song family save face.

“He dropped this thing into my wine. Please help me find out what it is.” Gong Lixin flickered his five fingers and blue pill came out of Ma Zhihong’s jacket pocket before flying into his palm. This beautiful, one-handed display made everyone in the room take a gasp.

Seeing the pill, Zheng Chaohe, who had spoken up, immediately shut up. Ma Zhihong’s character, he understood it well. Since people were looking at them, he had nothing more to say. With the evidence out on display and so many people present to testify, he couldn’t say anything.

“It’s just medicine. You could just beat him up for it, why kill him?” Bai Hong next to Song Haoxuan said coldly.

“Is it such a small thing to give medicine to our leader? Let me give you the medicine then to try it?” Lin Wenbo, who was sitting beside Lin Mao, sneered as his golden eyes glared at her.

“That’s a good idea. If Song Haoxuan drinks a glass of wine with this drug, I will let you try to kill me, as long as you can kill me, that is.” Gong Lixin nodded seriously, squeezing the pill into dust into the wine glass in front of He Jin. He flicked his hand and the wine glass flew in front of Song Haoxuan.

The two people were separated by ten meters, yet the full glass of wine was delivered across the air and not a single drop of wine fell. Song Haoxuan, who had been expressionless for a long time, couldn’t hold it in anymore and stared in shock. He had never seen such skill, but he could not guess the ability of this teenager. Moreover, this youth was actually the leader of Gong family’s base. An insult to the leader of a base was indeed a major thing. It was not an exaggeration to kill Ma Zhihong. Right then, he didn’t want to drink but was forced to do so, which really put him in a dilemma.

A fourth-level master ability user sitting next to Bai Hong slammed the table and fiercely said, “Don’t be so arrogant. This is our territory. Even if you are strong, you have nowhere to retreat.” When his words fell, he released his pressure and was surrounded by a thick, murderous aura.

Tan Mingyuan, Song Haoran, Lin Wenbo and others couldn’t sit still and released their own pressure as well. The two factions faced each other off, but it was clear that the strength of the Gong family’s base was much higher than that of the Song family’s base, showing an overwhelming pressure. The people of the other bases had long decided to sit this one aside, daring not to speak. They were outsiders and naturally saw things clearly. There were many people in Song family’s base while the people from Gong family’s base were strong. No one could come in between the fight between the two sides. The most unfortunate thing was the bystanders, who were innocently watching yet were also affected.

“Nowhere to retreat?” Gong Lixin spoke lightly and ridiculed the other, “Then believe it or not, I can wash the hall with blood right now and let you all die without leaving a corpse.” As soon as his words fell, his pressure was released and a thin mist overflowed from his body, making him look ethereal, just like a god. The wine tables and people around him had been pushed away by the strong energy released by him and even the floor under him was also affected. The majestic pressure, as strong as mountains and rivers, shattered the floor inch by inch. The web-like cracks spread out on the floor, the cracking sound creeped up the walls and even the ceiling and walls were affected as dust fell from the ceiling, as if it would collapse under the pressure released by the teenager at any time.

Such a terrible pressure. Don’t even mention the people on Song family’s base, even the members of Gong Lixin’s team had never sfelt such pressure. It turned out that Young Master Gong had been hiding his strength this whole time. When they felt that Young Master Gong had reached a certain limit, Young Master Gong would turn over a new page for them, pushing them to go further on the road to become strong. Everyone gritted their teeth and straightened their backs, not letting themselves be an embarrassment for the Song family’s base nor the Gong family’s base.

Father Gong and Grandfather Lin sat leisurely on their seats. As the young man was secretly guarding them, they couldn’t feel any pressure at all. Seeing the two people’s relaxed appearance, everyone at the scene was clear about the teenager’s strength and became even more afraid of him. He could even control his own pressure to such a degree. This teenager is simply a demon!

After a few muffled sounds were uttered, Song Haoxuan and his party, who were the one the most pressured, vomited blood one after another, lying pale on the table and unable stand up anymore. Gong Lixin slowly breathed in and began to speak lightly since Gong Yuanhang hinted at him with his eyes. “If a person commits an offense against me, I will commit an offense against them. What happened today was you’re wrong, yet you became so aggressive. I don’t want to go around killing randomly and I hope you won’t force me to do so. I’ve offended you, so forgive me.”

“Alright.” Song Haoxuan took this personally. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a deep voice, “Today, it is indeed our people who have done something wrong. I should be the one asking for forgiveness. You are right. So, I don’t want the rest of the people being punished for his actions towards Young Master Gong.” From their angle, the others couldn’t see Song Haoxuan’s blood-stained fingers were trembling because of fear and anger.

His men had already put away the arrogance in their bones as their face showed their anxiety and fear. They were seriously injured by the pressure alone. What’s the difference between them and ants in the eyes of this young man? They were arrogant, but they also had a brain.

Glancing at Song Haoxuan’s expression of resentment and unwillingness to back down, Gong Lixin nodded and stopped talking. Such pressure used too much energy and he also felt a little weak. It wasn’t right to continue entangling with these people. Today, he made a deliberate attempt to use this pressure to give a warning to the forces in the Northeast Plain that Gong family’s base was not something that they could easily deal with. If you want to eat the Gong family’s base, you have to make sure that you had the ability to do so. He didn’t want the incident of Long Snake Island to happen again. Although Gong family’s base’s people were still inside Song Haoxuan’s territory, after being pressured by him, Song Haoxuan absolutely wouldn’t dare confront Gong family’s base head-on. If both side loses, Gong Lixin would only need to pick another base.

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracy and scheming were futile. These word, he recalled from a book he read but didn’t remember the title, but they were deeply engraved in Gong Lixin’s mind as he deeply agreed with them. This was how it was during the apocalypse. He could see it in the room full of people. From when he first entered where there was hidden machination, to the present where they were all respectful. This was the benefit brought on by true strength.

The ruined tables and chairs were taken away by the logistics staff and were replaced with new ones. Ma Zhihong’s body was also dragged out. Perhaps he would be cut into meat and served as a meal for the Song family’s base’s people later. Maybe he would be thrown outside to feed the zombies. Did anyone care? However, everyone was staring at the pool of blood left on the floor, their expression were as if they were in a dream.

He just died like that? The demon that had tortured her for two lifetimes just disappeared? Gong Xiangyi covered her face as she could not believe it.

“Xiangyi, what’s wrong? Do you have a headache?” Father Gong asked, worried as he put his glass down.

“It’s nothing. I’m fine.” Gong Xiangyi quickly said as she lowered her hand. The corner of her lips were bent upwards as she laughed quietly. The more she laughed, the more she felt the pain. She didn’t know how Ma Zhihong died in her last life. She didn’t even dare to ask. But in this life, she watched his ugly face get smashed by Gong Lixin’s palm. Finally! In this moment, from the bottom of her heart, she was thankful and her last resentment towards Gong Lixin disappeared.

Seeing that her daughter soon returned to normal, Father Gong felt relieved and continued to drink with Old Lin. The messy hall was quickly cleaned up and everyone seemed to talk and laugh as usual. But they had deliberately lowered their voices and showed a cautious and respectful attitude when facing the members of Gong family’s base. This showed that they had fully accepted the fact that the Gong family’s base would be stationed in the Northeast Plain and also changed their view about the status of Gong family’s base. They also considered whether they would surpass Song family’s base.

“Lixin used this trick to kill chicken to frighten the monkey quite well.” Old Lin took a sip of his wine and praised Gong Lixin in a quiet voice.

“Where does he even have the brain for that. 80% of the reason behind his action is because he really was irritated and impulsively moved his hand, only thinking about our base’s status as an after thought” Father Gong smiled and waved his hand.

“Uncle Gong, you really know Xiaoxin best.” Lin Wenbo smiled as he watched the teenager across from him concentrating on eating his vegetables.

The three laughed with each other. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, the complete opposite to Song Haoxuan and Song Haoran who were both sitting at the head.

“Following such a leader, no wonder you have such a good life.” Song Haoxuan gulped down the blood in his throat.

“It’s my good luck.” Song Haoran replied blankly.

“But in the end, he is too young, acting madly and have little comprehension to the situation. I hope he can continue being so arrogant without being knocked down one day.” Song Haoxuan sneered.

“No, when it comes to arrogance, he can’t compare to you, cousin.” Song Haoran’s tone was even as he said so.

Song Haoxuan gritted his teeth and finally chose to remain silent. He couldn’t continue to fight, he already lost in such an ugly way today. Since his birth until now, he had never felt so frustrated before. The name ‘Gong Lixin’ had irrevocably been remembered by him. And his men looked at the current light-hearted young man from time to time, stroking their, apparently, injured chest and with their eyes full of terror. As a result, as the master of this conference hall, the most active party became the most silent party, turning the atmosphere a little uncomfortable.

“Master Song, today is the press conference for the powerful disinfectant. Let’s get to his topic quickly.” The opening of the leader of Huicheng base, which was the second-most powerful base only to Song family’s base, broke this delicate atmosphere and made the silent hall begin to liven up again.

“Yes.” Song Haoxuan nodded and signaled the two guards behing him, “Bring the people in.”

The guard nodded and walked out of the hall. Soon, he came back while pushing a huge iron cage. There was a fence in the middle of the cage to isolate the slave and the zombie held at either ends of the cage. The hands, feet and neck of the zombie at its current level were tired with iron chains and tied to the cage, making its range of action extremely limited. Smelling the strong smell of human flesh in the hall, the zombie roared excitedly, dripping large pools of sticky and stinky saliva from its cracked mouth.

The guard opened the fence and ordered the trembling slave, who had shrunk to the corner of the cage, to approach the zombie. The slave didn’t dare, but had to move forward under the guard’s scolding and leather whip.

Seeing that the zombie’s claws really cut the slave’s arm, the crowd stood up and held their breath, waiting for the follow-up. Now, it was time to witness the efficacy of this disinfectant.

Feeling everyone’s attention, Song Haoxuan’s inner emotions finally calmed down a little. He believed that after this conference, the Gong family’s base would regret their action. Thinking of that, he sneered.
