Chapter 240: Kill!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Chuan’s voice became sharp and shrill as if he was forcing the words out of his throat.
His features remained the same, but it was as if they had twisted into a completely different face.
Meng Chao’s heart raced as he listened to the hysterical shouts. A strange thought appeared in his head.
‘He’s not Lin Chuan. Another soul has crept into Lin Chuan’s brain, and it is the one speaking.’
Lu Siya also noticed the huge difference in Lin Chuan. She screamed, “You’re not Lin Chuan! What are you, the White Spirit?! Lin Chuan, you’re completely controlled by the White Spirit. These aren’t your real thoughts! These are the thoughts of the White Spirit!”
Lin Chuan’s face looked as if it had been sawed in half by an invisible chainsaw. On the left, he looked conflicted and confused, but on the right, he looked smug and ruthless. While he panted, he laughed savagely.
“No, this is our thoughts. The Deity Realm elites and Apocalyptic Beasts should die. They’re like the trees that cover the sun. They steal away all the sunlight and grab all the nutrients. They’re covering the whole world.
“It’s only when we kill those Deity Realm fighters and Apocalyptic Beasts that we will be able to rise to power from their corpses and create a brand new world. Siya, didn’t you always say that coal, petrol, and crystals are the corpses of ancient creatures and civilization is just us walking on those corpses? Then, we should—”
“I will never declare a monster and a beast as my comrade!” Lu Siya hissed through gritted teeth.
“This is the biggest difference between you and I. You think of all humans as us and all monsters as them. But I think that normal people and normal monsters are us, while Deity Realm elites and Apocalyptic Monsters are them.”
Lin Chuan spread his arms wide. His expression was holy and strange, as if he was reciting some kind of mantra for hypnotization. “As long as we can get rid of them, we’ll be able to win the war!”
“Idiot. You’re just an idiot who was utterly deceived by a beast.” Lu Siya had a disdainful look on her face, but cold tears fell down her face.
“Whitey didn’t lie to me. She would never lie to me. All of this is for me!” Lin Chuan waved his arms and defended the White Spirit in a rather lunatic fashion. It was hard to say whether he was speaking for Lu Siya or for himself. “If we don’t do this, the Red Radiance Jade mine will soon be taken away by those people who stand above all of us.
“The Heaven Realm elites will rely on the Red Radiance Jades to become Deity Realm fighters, and the Deity Realm fighters will rely on the Red Radiance Jades to become even stronger, but what about the low-grade superhumans and normal humans? At most, they will get sc.r.a.ps. The difference between the strong and the weak will become even more obvious. The rule of the powerful will become stronger. When then will we be able to completely change Dragon City so all the normal children in the city can live good lives?
“Yes, that’s right. That’s what Whitey thinks. It believes in my beliefs. It supports my dreams. It’s only when I explode the Red Radiance Jade mine can I stir up the spirit energy tsunami to get rid of those Deity Realm fighters and Apocalyptic Beasts—”
“And what happens after that?” Lu Siya asked coldly. “If you kill the former Deity Realm elites and replace them to become a new person in power, what difference will it make?”
“Of course I’ll be different from them. I came from a poor family and am a normal person. Even if I become invincible, I will think about the interests of the thousands of normal people in Dragon City. I will make Dragon City shine brighter. I won’t be like them. They’ve fallen a long time ago and have become rotten!” Lin Chuan seemed to have gone mad as he screamed hysterically.
The more lunatic he became, the calmer Lu Siya looked. She gave a mocking smile. “My grandfather, Shen Yulong’s grandfather, and countless powerful people who control Dragon City came from poor families and started with nothing. They fought their way up the ranks during the war to protect Dragon City. If you think that they have already fallen and become the targets that must be killed, how can you ensure that you won’t fall and become corrupted as well?
“In truth, you’re even worse than they are. At the very least, they never worked together with a monster while they walked down their paths of becoming superhumans. They never killed their own people. But you, right from the start, you dyed yourself red with human blood in a mountain of corpses!”
Her words struck Lin Chuan’s weakness.
The expressions on the left and right side of his face became no longer melded with each other. They became even more distinct, making him uglier.
“Wait, I was wrong. You aren’t working together. You’re just being used.” Lu Siya sucked in a deep breath and unleashed her major move. “Lin Chuan, you’re a man who has low self-esteem, but you’re conceited as well. You spent half of your life trying to break free from being used by others, but at the end of the day, you’re just a lapdog of a monster!”
Right after she said this, the White Spirit’s fur stood up.
Lin Chuan’s expression became even more monstrous.
He let out an incredibly shrill shout. “I’ve never treated Lin Chuan as my lapdog!”
Lu Siya’s eyes lit up, and she shouted, “Did you hear that, Lin Chuan?! That’s not your voice at all! You’re controlled by the White Spirit!”
The White Spirit howled and tried to bypa.s.s Lin Chuan to attack Lu Siya.
Lin Chuan also raised his right arm under its control to form a blade with his spirit flames at his fingertips. He pointed it at Lu Siya.
Lu Siya took half a step forward fearlessly and craned her neck. A complicated light shone in her eyes as she stared at Lin Chuan. She smiled like a beautiful snake. “Come on, kill me with your White Spirit!”
Lin Chuan trembled.
He acted like a puppet who was controlled by two puppeteers at the same time. The left side of his body clashed with his right side, and he was positioned in a really strange manner.
The White Spirit was angry and agitated. Its tails trembled fiercely, and drops of blood oozed out of its crystalline fur. Clearly, its mind control had already reached its limit.
Lin Chuan was caught in a fierce battle in his head, and the White Spirit was about to lose control. Hence, neither of them noticed two things.
First, Lu Siya had been subtly changing her position nonstop so that they were now at the best firing range and angle from the entrance of the Red Radiance Jade mine.
Second, an incredibly fierce power was swiftly gathering together behind a rock at the entrance of the Red Radiance Jade mine. It was as if it came from ancient times and could pierce the soul.
After a short tug of war, Lin Chuan, whose mind was held captive, was finally unable to maintain his balance. He staggered.
The White Spirit seized that chance to pounce on Lu Siya.
Lin Chuan did not manage to stop it in time, and he cried out in despair. “No!”
Lu Siya shut her eyes as if waiting for her death and fell backwards.
Her action exposed the White Spirit, who had its mouth wide open, to Meng Chao, who jumped out of the entrance.
“Now!” Meng Chao shouted, and his spirit flames raged.
Mind Lightning and Beast Blood Combustion instantly reached their maximum power, even though he had just mastered these spirit energy magnetic fields.
The former stimulated his cells and allowed him to instantly release brainwaves that were ten times stronger than before. They affected the thoughts of all intelligent lifeforms, which had the amazing side-effect of breaking the mind control.
The latter allowed him to unleash the power from his genes. It helped him fight against the effects of the Red Radiance Jade mine. Despite the fact that he was under the great spirit energy magnetic field interference, he was still able to control his optical cells and all his muscles. His muzzle was firmly locked between the White Spirit’s eyes.
This time, Meng Chao activated the Ultimate Basic Gun Technique without hesitation.
Since it had been focusing most of its attention on Lin Chuan and Lu Siya and was under the great effects from the Red Radiance Jades, the White Spirit did not notice him right away.
When it finally took notice of him, it was already too late.
Bang! Bang!
Two rifle grenades filled with all of Meng Chao’s will exploded in front of it.
The White Spirit was only able to turn its head a little, so it would avoid the fate of being blinded, but the left side of its face was blasted off. Its eye socket turned into a mess, and its eyeball flew out.
The White Spirit and Lin Chuan screamed from extreme pain.
It seemed like even their senses were connected in a profound manner.
‘It’s weak now! I have to kill it!’ The moment Meng Chao’s finger left the trigger, he rushed forward.
He threw the a.s.sault rifle that was now empty of rifle grenades at the White Spirit.
Then, he grabbed the two Samopal vzor 61s. Bullets shot out like the rain, and all of his shots were aimed at the White Spirit’s messed up eye socket.
Under Meng Chao’s fierce and powerful attacks, the h.e.l.l Beast was shot to the point where its flesh and blood fell to the ground. It was forced to move back.
“Meng Chao...”
Lin Chuan was dumbfounded.
Indescribable shame appeared on his face, but the moment he saw the White Spirit’s devastated appearance, all his emotions instantly turned into anger.
“Whitey!”
He gave a monstrous shout. His Undying Bird rose into the air, and under the blood-red light, it looked incredibly monstrous and fierce.
His chain spear formed a destructive vortex. With the additional power of the Undying Bird, it went to strike Meng Chao.
But halfway to Meng Chao, a saber glare that charged over like a hungry tiger cut it in half.
“Your opponent is me!” Qin Hu arrived with a strange cackle. “I’ve long since found you an eyesore, pretty boy! You used that face to enchant so many ignorant girls, and even my wife is your fan! She even asked me to gather likes for you! To h.e.l.l with the likes!”
At that moment, every pore on Qin Hu’s body gave off the fierce flames of someone at the peak of Earth Realm.
The Shooting Star Blades spun around him at high speed, but since he was still not familiar with them and affected by the Red Radiance Jades, their flying trajectory was very strange. They were basically moving based on the Brownian motion, and even Qin Hu himself could not predict their trajectory. Hence, it made him even more dangerous.
Lin Chuan did not expect that there would be another survivor aside from Meng Chao, and his fighting strength was about the same as his right then. The many injuries left Lin Chuan much weaker than originally.
He narrowed his eyes and spread his arms wide open, allowing the Undying Bird to envelope him. His feet rose three feet from the ground, and he spoke in a monstrous voice. “Qin Hu, you also came from the poor. Why are you helping those rich people who stand above us? We can—”
“We can, my foot!” Qin Hu went to cut him. “Enough with the yammering! All I’ve been listening to today is your constant yakking! I’m telling you, I hate people who just keep talking before attacking! If you want to fight, fight! Do you think you’re one of the ladies playing mahjong?!”
“You—”
Lin Chuan was caught off guard, and he fell to the ground pathetically.
Qin Hu’s saber was not really that threatening, but his Brownian motion Shooting Star Blades were quite difficult to fend against.
Even Meng Chao, who was fighting fiercely against the White Spirit by the side, yelped when his b.u.t.t was nearly cut.
Lin Chuan simply could not predict Qin Hu’s movements, because he refused to act according to convention.
“I’m a simple man. Aside from my wife and kids, I don’t care about anything else.” Qin Hu cackled savagely. “I don’t care whether it’s you or the White Spirit who likes cooking up these schemes. It has nothing to do with me. But if you blow up the Red Radiance Jade mine and land a huge blow to Dragon City, you’ll be harming my wife and kids.
“Even if you’re the father of G.o.d himself, if you dare to touch my wife and kids, wash your neck and wait! I’ll kill you!”
Qin Hu’s bloodstained moustache was straight now. Every muscle on his body bulged up, and it was as if shocking explosions were happening inside. The saw-toothed saber above his head shone with a brilliant light, and he swung it at Lin Chuan’s Undying Bird!
