Chapter 1269: Chapter 110: Chain

Boom——!

The wall suddenly broke from a certain point, and then large areas collapsed overall… Wang Hu stepped in from the gap—this was the most direct way to travel, crashing through.

The hand of Black Water, which penetrated Zhong Luochen’s chest and abdomen, had just been withdrawn—in fact, Wang Hu happened to see this scene.

He casually glanced at Zhong Luochen, who was lying in a pool of blood… Wang Hu didn’t know this human, so naturally had no interest—whether the other person was dead, alive, or dying wasn’t within his concern for the moment.

So, for Wang Hu, there was no such thing as being a step too late.

Black Water remained indifferent; this strike claimed a human’s life… yes, just another human. To her, Zhong Luochen was a dispensable human.

Humans, to her, did not provoke intense hatred, but neither did they elicit much favor… originally, if it weren’t for humans’ endless exploitation, she might still be living peacefully in the virgin forests, and the young she cared for wouldn’t have been homeless.

She had always restrained herself because true dragons had established rules. After being driven out of Yang Taizi’s Taoist temple, she came here, wishing to live relatively peacefully on the true dragon’s turf.

But humans dared lay hands on her children, amounting to a challenge to her fragile bottom line—she came upon those brutally slain corpses, and along the way, children treated like lab rats, and finally, Little Pig’s cries.

She didn’t feel she’d gone too far, only killed a ringleader… Black Water didn’t intend to create much bloodshed; she planned to leave with Little Pig once the mastermind was dead.

As for how this would end… it wasn’t within her scope of concern.

Worst case scenario, if she couldn’t stay here, she’d take her group of younglings somewhere else—China is vast, surely a place could be found for her and the younglings… even if drifting, she wouldn’t let them get hurt.

But the situation seems to have changed—for instance, this one-armed strongman breaking through the wall showed an aura quite different from those so-called martial artists, an aura filled with pure oppressive monster’s aura.

“Are you with them?”

Black Water held Little Pig as she looked at Wang Hu, her gaze full of caution.

Stimulated by Black Water’s monster’s aura, Wang Hu felt a strong urge to fight… having lost his memory, he had even less idea of right and wrong, nearly acting solely on feelings, shaking his head, “I don’t know the humans here… I’m just interested in you. Fight me; if you beat me, you can leave.”

“Are you trying to stall for time?” Black Water frowned.

Wang Hu was not eloquent… roughly the same as before and now. He always communicated through fists deeply ingrained as instinct. Without words, he lunged forward and kicked.

How could this guy start fighting just like that?

Black Water was shocked, but the opponent’s speed and pressure kept her cautious; facing Wang Hu’s surprise attack, she instantly raised a light shield condensed with demonic power.

Boom——!

The light shield shattered instantly!

Black Water was suddenly horrified… feeling immense demonic power rushing like a torrent, she quickly held Little Pig close and shrank her body… only for her body to be hit by the force and slammed against the wall.

“Sister!” Little Pig shouted in panic.

Blood trickled from the corner of Black Water’s mouth… she took a slow, deep breath, adjusting her breathing and placed Little Pig down, “Hide, sister will deal with this big guy, it’ll be quick…”

Though she said so, she felt a bit uneasy… this one-armed fellow, the pressure felt stronger.

Wang Hu didn’t strike again at that moment, instead waiting… until Black Water was ready, he stepped forward again, “Are you ready? If you’re ready, then go all out; otherwise, you might die.”

“A lunatic who only knows how to fight…” Black Water snorted coldly.

She was sure that there was no old grudge between them, not even acquaintance; this guy hadn’t shown hostility but only a competitive desire to fight.

She waved her hand, and a Treasured Sword appeared out of thin air, the demonic power on her surged crazily… approaching the level of Wang Hu’s oppressive presence.

“Great!” Wang Hu thought with joy.

The two simply began to fight… this underground superpower research lab’s concrete couldn’t withstand the terrifying demonic power they unleashed.

The foundation, under their immense destructive power, appeared precarious… vibrations spread, causing the entire building to sway…

The demonic cloud outside grew ever larger, forming a vortex… with two giant waves of monster’s aura rising straight into the sky.

At the moment this horrifying scene emerged, two agents from the Management Bureau, Liu Minghao and Wei Zidao, arrived at the scene.

“My God… at least two huge powerful monsters going at it?” The two raised their heads in shock and awe.

Outside the building, two luminous shadows entangled the skyscraper and spiraled upwards; each clash’s aftermath was like a seismic giant hammer smashing parts of the building to pieces!

“Damn it… was this timed perfectly?” Wei Zidao angrily cursed, “The Dragon Consultant just left, and trouble started? One of them seems to be… Wang Hu?”

Liu Minghao urgently thought, “Rescue is crucial, Bu Bugao said there are many wounded below… let Wang Hu deal with this unknown huge powerful monster!”

He said, urgently rushed into the building.

“I’ll definitely find out about Wang Hu’s origins later!” Wei Zidao gritted his teeth and followed.

Huge powerful monsters require more than several advanced agents to handle… but they and Liu Minghao were just one beginner and one intermediate, barely getting by on luck!

…

Don’t know what’s happening.

In an instant, it felt like an earthquake… when Cheng Yun chased after and caught up with Chen Er, it coincided with the moment of upheaval—whether Cheng Yun or Chen Er, they were mere mortals, facing the collapsing concrete, seemed awfully fragile.

But whether it was Cheng Yun’s fate or Chen Er’s true ability to turn adversity to fortune—in such a disaster, neither was injured.

“Damn it! This road is blocked again!” Chen Er cursed—another path blocked by collapse.

“We… won’t be buried alive here, will we, Master Chen?” Cheng Yun grabbed Chen Er’s arm like a lifeline.

He wanted to shake this guy off; it was time to escape.

“Is there no other way?” Chen Er fixated on Cheng Yun, asked harshly, “I don’t want to wait here and die!”

Cheng Yun panicked, quickly said, “Maybe there’s a way in the other research area…”

“Then hurry up and lead the way!” Chen Er shouted sharply.

Startled, Cheng Yun frantically found a path leading to the other side—running a bit, Cheng Yun suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “How come there’s a hole here? Great, no need to go around, straight through!”

Not just one hole in the wall—there were similar big holes in front of all the walls!

The two joyfully found that along these wall holes, the environment gradually became less severely damaged.

“Master Chen, you were right! Disaster indeed struck! Fortunately, I chased you out, or I might have been buried alive…” Cheng Yun felt relieved, immensely admiring Chen Er, believing these feng shui divination guys were reliable, “Once out, I’ll truly thank you!”

“We’ll see.” Chen Er responded casually.

Cheng Yun smiled… but his smile quickly froze—a figure lay at the end of the tunnel, massive blood already poured out.

It’s… Young Master Zhong Er!

“Young Master!!” Cheng Yun yelled in horror, crawled over to Zhong Luochen’s side, “Young Master? Young Master!! Wake up! Wake up! Young Master!!”

Chen Er frowned, walked over, listening to Cheng Yun’s clamoring that was somewhat annoying, “Stop yelling! Young Master Zhong Er is already dead! Look at the wound, do you think that’s survivable?”

The bloody hole in the chest was so glaring… Cheng Yun’s hands trembled, and he realized that his hands were stained with Zhong Luochen’s fresh blood.

He was startled, and when he looked at Zhong Luochen again, he saw that the eyes of the young master did not close, just staring at him… Cheng Yun screamed and pushed the cold corpse away!

“What, what, what, what should I do… Young, young master is dead, dead, dead…”

“Dead is dead, what can you do?!” Chen Er shouted angrily, “Do you intend to stay here for a funeral? Will you leave or not!!”

“Go… go, go… can’t go, can’t go!” Cheng Yun suddenly stood up trembling, gripping Chen Er’s arm tightly: “The young master can’t die, he can’t die… Master, you have to save him, you must have a way to save him, right! You must have a way, Master Chen!!”

“Do you think I am an immortal?” Chen Er shook his arm, “Your young master is already dead! I can extend life, that’s true, but only if the person isn’t dead yet!!”

“No, no, Master Chen, you must save the young master, you have to bring him back!!” Cheng Yun’s face was pale, “If the young master doesn’t return, we can’t go on living, really!! The old master won’t spare me… nor will he spare you! Master Chen!! The old master likes the young master the most, he will go all out… Look, the young master was obviously not killed by the collapse, he was definitely murdered… The old master will definitely find out!”

“I said, Zhong Luochen is already cold, can’t be brought back!! Don’t bother me!!”

“No, no, no, no…” Cheng Yun trembled, “This is my only bridge, if the bridge breaks, I can’t go anywhere… No, no, you… you can’t leave——!!!”

His expression suddenly turned ferocious, pressing down hard on Chen Er’s shoulders, he roared.

“Damn it…do you really think you are something special?” Chen Er snapped, kneeing Cheng Yun’s abdomen, bending him over in pain, retching, “If you want to die, stay here yourself… Hmph!”

Ignoring Cheng Yun, Chen Er looked around and began to search for a way out.

Cheng Yun stared blankly at the lifeless Zhong Luochen, sitting on the ground in despair, as if he instantly lost everything, “It’s all gone…everything is gone… I’m sorry, young master, I also have to go. I’m not leaving you alone, I have to survive… at most, when you become a ghost, I will burn more offerings for you. Please…please don’t come looking for me…”

Just then, Chen Er had a sudden thought, turned back and looked at the aimless Cheng Yun, “What did you just say?”

“I said I have to leave…I also have to live.” Cheng Yun trembled, “Master Chen, don’t leave me! I have money, I really have money, I’ve saved a lot over the years!!”

“Not that sentence, the last one!”

“Don’t… don’t come looking for me?”

“Two sentences before that!”

“If… if you become a ghost, burn more stuff?”

“Got it!” Chen Er turned back, walked to the side of Zhong Luochen’s corpse, crouched down, pressed his fingers to his neck, and opened his eyes, peering into the dissipating pupils.

“Master… Master Chen?”

Chen Er’s eyes lit up as he said, “I can’t bring him back to life, but as a ghost, I can try!”

“Ghost?”

Chen Er nodded, “Have you heard of raising little ghosts? He just died, so his soul and spirit probably haven’t scattered yet… I can try to summon his soul and then raise it using the little ghost method!”

Cheng Yun was both shocked and delighted, “Then, then is it possible for him to return to life?”

“Have you watched too many movies? Haven’t you heard that the dead cannot be brought back to life?” Chen Er snorted coldly, “This is the truth of Yin and Yang, the principles of Heaven and Earth! Even if there is a method to truly return to life, it would incur heavenly punishment! Do you know what heavenly punishment is? It’s a lightning strike turning you into carbon! Besides, my master never taught me that! At most, I can help him summon his soul and raise him as a little ghost… so, are you in or not? You decide! If not, I’ll find a way out now!”

Cheng Yun gritted his teeth, “Master Chen… do it!”

Chen Er nodded, being decisive, he immediately bit his finger and drew a Taoist cursed imprint on Zhong Luochen’s forehead with fresh blood, then shouted, “Lift up his body, there’s nothing here, nothing I can do here! We need to leave here… we’ll go back to my villa, I need my tools, I need to set up a ritual!”

Chen Er inherited Huang Qifa’s villa… it’s not far from here, probably just about ten kilometers away.

Cheng Yun nodded quickly, swallowed hard, and directly carried Zhong Luochen’s corpse, “Master Chen, this way… I remembered, there’s an emergency exit here…”

…

…

Boom——!!!

A black shadow fell from the sky.

Like a meteor, it crashed straight through the roof of a building, breaking through five or six floors before stopping… Black Water coughed up dark blood, her body entwined by several steel bars… she looked up at the broken holes above.

Wang Hu was standing on the upper floor, looking down.

“Your technique is too bad.” Wang Hu shook his head, “You have a body full of demonic power, yet you don’t know how to use any of it, what a waste. I only used less than a third of the force equal to yours.”

At this moment, Black Water’s demon nature was also rising, and two sharp teeth protruded from her black lips… her eyes turned into vertical pupils, struggling to stand up.

Wang Hu extended his five fingers toward Black Water, suddenly clenching into a fist, “If you don’t show any real skill, I might actually kill you…don’t let me down.”

He felt about to recall something.

The fighting spirit surged even more intensely… a violent intent in Wang Hu’s heart, like a sprout about to burst through the soil… he had a feeling he was going to remember something, as long as the powerful monster in front of him gave him a serious challenge…

Just a thrilling fight!

Suddenly, the demonic clouds in the sky shook… the massive vortex of demonic clouds spun wildly, and an even more immense and violent aura of a monster surged upward from Black Water and shot straight into the heavens.

The explosive demonic aura blew through the surroundings like a fierce wind, causing the sand and stone to hit Wang Hu like bullets—he suddenly laughed, and faced with the monstrous demonic power, his body seemed to undergo a faint transformation.

The tiger stripes symbolizing the White Tiger appeared on his forehead, flickering in and out of sight.

At the center of the demon aura’s vortex, Black Water’s vertical pupils transformed to a shattered golden color… her legs vanished, leaving only a half black snake body.

Behind her, the powerful demonic power vaguely formed an even larger phantom… also with a snake’s head and a human torso.

The earth began to tremble at this moment… spreading outwards from this building!

“Nuwa’s Descendants…” Wang Hu murmured.

He didn’t know what this sentence meant, he uttered it instinctively, as if it was an inherent instinct buried in his memory… the divine beast White Tiger’s blood in him seemed stimulated, surging violently.

“Hahahahaha!!!!!!”

Wang Hu laughed wildly at the sky, eagerly anticipating the coming battle, his body’s White Tiger Beast God Transformation suddenly activated, instantly reaching the level of Second Transformation, a terrifying demonic power completely beyond Black Water’s at this moment also erupted.

Two unparalleled demonic powers centered at this point, causing the demon clouds in the sky to expand instantly… and the earthquake escalated once more!

The intense two forces clashed, and the upper floors of the building were instantly pulverized.

But the forces were still rising, not yet reaching their peak state… the true collision would occur the moment both sides pushed their forces to the limit!

Close!

But at this moment, just as their powers were about to surge to an unavoidable explosion, a chain of cold light pierced through the demonic clouds from the sky and shot down instantly…

The chain extended, then split, instantly turning into hundreds, like a curtain of raindrops… They all fired, directly ignoring the terrifying demonic power, each chaining separately to Wang Hu and Black Water, thoroughly smashing their terrifying powers…

…

In a room, Luo Qiu, who had fallen asleep with clothes on, slowly opened his eyes, quietly saying: “This is the city he wants to protect.”
