On the other side, a multicolored figure appeared in front of Black Death Lolita.
Red Fox, Jade Dog, and the others were completely stunned. A mutated and out-of-control Lyu Xiaofeng and a Black Death Lolita using her ultimate move were clearly not easy to deal with.
“Pitting tigers against wolves!”
Da Di’s voice rang out. Red Fox looked at him with some surprise, prompting Da Di to huff in dissatisfaction.
“Why are you looking at me like that? My academic grades were excellent!”
“If it weren't for the fact that my talent for the Strongman pathway was too good, I would have taken the Scholar pathway too!”
Red Fox thought about it and realized he had a point. After all, Da Di’s father was of the Scholar pathway and a student of Wan Tianqing.
If he had taken the Scholar pathway, his future would have certainly been a smooth road.
But this also made Red Fox inevitably curious—just how good was Da Di’s talent as a Strongman that his father would decide to give up the much easier Scholar pathway?
“Move!”
Jade Dog called out. They couldn't drag this on any longer.
Captain Xia had been using the sealed object for a long time. If they couldn't deal with these two within the time limit, the consequences would be dire.
Whether the two were released or the sealed object itself went out of control, it would be a disaster for the common people.
“Submit to the Law!”
Jade Dog roared. Chains materialized out of thin air, coiling toward both targets.
But before the chains could even get close, they were severed by a ‘tail’ from Lyu Xiaofeng.
Lyu Xiaofeng’s appearance was grotesque now. The upper half of the flesh sword was attached to his back like a spine, while the lower half remained outside, resembling a tail.
The strike just now had been executed by that very ‘tail.’
“Mere Sequence 5s dare to call themselves Demigods? Hahahaha! A joke, what a massive joke!”
“That title is nothing but a slight, an insult, a desecration of the gods!”
“Today, I will show you all what a true god should look like.”
Lyu Xiaofeng’s arms lengthened until they hung below his knees, and his back gradually arched until he took the posture of an ape.
His fingers became long and thin, encased in a layer of keratin.
With these hands, he caught the black lines that had been slashed out earlier.
The sharpness of those black lines was beyond imagination, yet in his hands, they were like actual threads, caught and pinched at their focal points.
“Die.”
He yanked the black lines downward with force, and all the lines suddenly tightened!
“I am a god!”
“Hahahaha!”
Lyu Xiaofeng laughed frenziedly. But just as he opened his mouth, the multicolored figure summoned by Black Death Lolita turned into a cloud of smoke and lunged inside.
“Ugh!”
Lyu Xiaofeng was like a chicken being seized by the neck; his voice was swallowed back down.
“Now!”
Jade Dog shouted, and the three of them launched their strongest attacks simultaneously!
“Aaaagh!!!”
The red light in Lyu Xiaofeng’s eye sockets became even more piercing, and streaks of bloody tears began to flow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The trio’s attacks landed on him, sending flesh flying. Toxic mist began to billow from his wounds.
Clearly, Black Death Lolita was also exerting her power.
...
“It’s about time, isn’t it?”
“What’s about time?”
Just as Principal Han spoke, a gentle voice sounded from behind him.
“Hm?”
Principal Han instantly increased the distance, bone needles already appearing in his palm.
Xia Yitiao’s reaction was similar; he also retreated from that position, his divinity boiling, ready to strike at any moment.
However, there was no one in the direction the voice had come from.
The two looked down and saw a sanitation worker in uniform, broom in hand, looking up at them with a smile.
“Hehe, please don't be nervous, gentlemen. I am still some distance away, so I can only use a few means to communicate with you for now.”
Hearing this, Principal Han and Xia Yitiao’s expressions became even more solemn.
“Having used two sealed objects in a row, the evil god summoned by that girl should have been eliminated by you, right?”
Xia Yitiao replied with a mocking tone.
“Girl? You mean Black Death Lolita? Hehe, some girl. If I recall correctly, she’s at least fifty this year, and that’s being generous. You call that a girl?”
“Hahaha, Bureau Chief Xia is right.”
The sanitation worker didn't seem angry at all, his voice remaining gentle.
“Then, I wonder if you two could be so kind as to return the person to me?”
“I’m not afraid to make a fool of myself, but my Idealist Society doesn't have many talents, and there are even fewer I can actually command. I hope you two will give me some face.”
“I can offer the lives of everyone in Huangshan City in exchange. Does that price satisfy you?”
Principal Han narrowed his eyes.
“The lives of everyone in Huangshan City? You certainly talk big.”
“Why don't you think about what happened to the last cult that massacred a city in Great Wei?”
The sanitation worker smiled faintly and picked up a cigarette butt from the ground.
“Talk big? I’d say it’s fair. After all, at our level, destroying a city is quite simple, isn't it?”
As he spoke, the worker got into a sanitation truck and drove away.
Just as Xia Yitiao’s gaze followed the sanitation worker, a deep male baritone rang out.
“As for the price, that is a double-edged sword.”
“If I cannot afford to pay it, can you?”
The speaker was a male driver. He had a smile on his face as he held his head high, looking at Xia Yitiao and Principal Han suspended in mid-air.
Principal Han’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the departing sanitation worker and then at the male driver.
Controlling people wasn't difficult for certain high-Sequence pathways; even some transcendent items could achieve this effect.
However, controlling someone from an extremely long distance was much harder.
And he could not only control them from a great distance but also switch between individuals effortlessly. Those who were released from his control showed no signs of abnormality, behaving just like normal people.
This was getting interesting!
“I only want to take one person away. Are you willing to sacrifice the citizens of an entire city just for her?”
Xia Yitiao sneered.
“I believe you aren't some nameless nobody, so you should know that the Security Bureau has an iron rule, right?”
The driver’s expression gradually became serious.
On the wall of the Security Headquarters, a line was written: 【Never Compromise with Evil】!
This was also the first sentence the instructors told the security officers during their training!
Personal threats?
Family threats?
Hostage threats?
I’m sorry, but the Security Bureau never compromises!
“Is that your answer, Bureau Chief Xia?”
After saying this, the driver opened the car door and sat back inside. Meanwhile, in the woods, a journalist who had been secretly taking photos stepped out.
“Ordinary sealed objects uncontrollably emit their aura; normal people will be contaminated if they get too close.”
“I’ve used three ordinary people to test this, and none of them felt anything unusual.”
“Bureau Chief Xia, you’ve been doing your best to control the sealed object to prevent it from contaminating the surroundings, haven't you?”
“In your current state, how do you plan to stop me?”
“Give the person to me, and I will leave immediately. I guarantee everything will be as if nothing ever happened.”
