Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 587 - The Biggest Problem

Chapter 587: The Biggest Problem

Su Lun’s expression twisted into one of resignation.

It was as if he was asking himself, “How could I have been defeated by a hooligan like this?”

“Give up, Su Lun!” Meng Chao took a step forward and said loudly, “I’ve temporarily quelled the chaos in Leprosy Village and prevented the villagers from rus.h.i.+ng out blindly. Big Sis Ya also decided to enter the lair and investigate the truth. These things mean that you’ve already lost. All your other actions are just a desperate struggle that will make you sink deeper. Or do you really want to drag the whole lair in the grave with you?”

Su Lun stared at Meng Chao.

Half a minute later, he slowly clapped and cheered for him.

“Meng Chao, as expected of the most outstanding person among the youngsters in Dragon City. It’s no wonder why Queen Bee Lu Siya is obsessed with you and listens to you.

“I swear that I didn’t underestimate you. Once I learned that you were involved in this case, I became absolutely on guard and set up more than ten traps to deal with you.

“To my surprise, you saw through all of them and ended up giving me a checkmate. I accept my defeat in your hands.”

His voice gradually turned from calm to sharp.

His presence also became completely different from earlier.

Even the shadow cast on the floor due to the light looked like it was elongating and splitting endlessly.

From a tall and thin human, it turned into a ferocious and terrifying monster.

“But I won’t surrender just like this.” Su Lun cackled. “Even if you and Lu Siya are both outstanding people of the Golden Era, you might be unable to detain me!”

The sounds of bones cracking rose, and Su Lun’s presence changed completely.

A moment ago, he was still a helpless military adviser in the lair.

But at that moment, he was like a drawn saber that had drunk more than one hundred people’s blood. A practically substantial killing intent filled the area.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya’s expressions changed.

‘This guy WAS hiding his strength!’

Meng Chao felt like he had returned to the wild and was facing a terrifying predator lurking in the swamps.

There were plenty of predators that pretended to be helpless in the forest. They disguised themselves as low-grade monsters to lure in their prey.

When their prey attacked them, they would reveal their monstrous true selves, letting the prey know that they were the actual food.

Now, Red Brows Su Lun was giving Meng Chao the feeling that he was a top-cla.s.s predator in sheep skin.

Even though Su Lun was definitely not so strong that he could win against or even kill Meng Chao and Lu Siya, his astonis.h.i.+ng vitality magnetic field guaranteed that Meng Chao and Lu Siya would have to pay a hefty price if they wanted to make him stay.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged a glance.

Their expressions became incredibly nervous and grave.

Whoos.h.!.+

Meng Chao brought his hands up. Blood Saber and the chain-bound Ghost Blade flew into his hands at the same time from the floor behind him.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Lu Siya whistled. The shattered stones and reinforced concrete on the floor were attracted by her spirit energy magnetic field once more. They floated in the air leisurely and formed a brand new stone dragon.

The stone throne beneath her also shattered into nine stone dragons and bared their teeth at Su Lun.

All of them looked like crossbows that had been drawn to the max and were letting out creaking sounds.

The atmosphere was so tense that it looked like it was about to rip.

A b.l.o.o.d.y battle was about to start.

At that moment, Meng Chao threw his chain saber forward, and it let out a loud clang.

When the chain crashed into itself, it created thousands of sparks and caused the hot air to explode. It attracted Su Lun’s attention.

He had heard of Meng Chao’s elusive chain saber before.

When the first spark appeared, he imagined more than one hundred ways the chain saber could attack him. He also calculated all the ways he could dodge and even counterattack based on each attack’s trajectory.

However, just when he mobilized all of his muscles to launch a destructive attack in the direction Meng Chao might attack, a power that was ten times stronger than his, Meng Chao’s, and Lu Siya’s suddenly appeared behind him.

It was as if a dimensional door had silently appeared half a meter behind him.

A mudslide that weighed ten thousand tons poured down with an unstoppable momentum and rammed into his back.

Su Lun cried out in pain.

He felt as if his spine had shattered into thousands of pieces, and each of the shards turned into burning hot steel needles that pierced his nerves, flesh, and organs.

Su Lun was absolutely helpless against this surprising and peerless attack.

He was thrown forward and flew around four meters before he landed on the floor at Meng Chao’s feet with his face down.

Su Lun coughed up blood.

He felt as if a great flood had broken through a dam in his throat, and he could not stop it.

All the spirit flames that he had just lit up in his cells were instantly extinguished.

A ball of rampaging spirit energy that did not belong to him ran around in his limbs and wreaked havoc in his blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians, causing him such great pain that he started crying. He twitched around like an ugly lobster.

With just one strike, Su Lun was reduced to his original form.

This time, he was truly helpless.

He raised his head with great difficulty and met Meng Chao’s derisive and merciless gaze.

In the reflection in Meng Chao’s eyes, he saw a figure that should not have been present. It should have been impossible for it to be here.

“X-Xiong Wei!” Su Lun screamed in terror.

The one who had appeared suddenly behind him and ended the battle in one blow while Meng Chao and Lu Siya diverted his attention was really the second strongest person in the lair—Phantom Bear Xiong Wei!

Only a person of Xiong Wei’s caliber was able to destroy all of Su Lun’s resistance.

“That’s impossible…” Su Lun could not believe it. “You were clearly fighting against a lot of monsters who ate Deification Capsules. I heard your angry shouts and sensed the vitality magnetic field you released. Was that all fake?”

“That’s right.”

Phantom Bear Xiong Wei looked like a vengeful ghost who had crawled out from the depths of h.e.l.l. Dark spirit flames surrounded him as he stared at Su Lun as if he could swallow him along with his armor without even any seasoning.

“It was all fake,” Black Bone’s gang leader hissed. “The person who killed Xiong Ying was right in front of me, so how could I get entangled with some monsters?”

“But that doesn’t make any sense!”

Su Lun knew that this time, he really could not turn the tables anymore. His face became stark white, but he still could not understand a lot of what had happened. “S-Since when did you team up with Meng Chao and Lu Siya?”

“From the moment Meng Chao released the rat stained with Red Radiance Jade powder,” Lu Siya answered for Xiong Wei. “At that time, I pretended to have noticed Meng Chao’s tracks and went to chase after him with Gang Leader Xiogn. In truth, I did it to shake you off so I could talk with Gang Leader Xiong in a quiet and calm place deep in a deserted ventilation pipe.”

“You…” Su Lun could not believe it. “You were certain that the traitor was me and not Xiong Wei?”

“I told you, you were too hasty. You were even more eager to kill Meng Chao than Gang Leader Xiong,” Lu Siya said. “Even if I didn’t mention it, you became a suspect rather than Gang Leader Xiong.

“The reason for that is simple: Saber Jin Wanhao is dead, well, not really, but his body has completely broken down. From today onwards, the lair has entered a Post-Jin Wanhao era.

“Gang Leader Xiong benefits the most from Saber Jin Wanhao’s pa.s.sing. As long as news gets spread, he will become the strongest person in the lair. He will be able to crush Golden Tooth effortlessly, and Black Bone will become the strongest gang in the lair, so he will obtain a lot of benefits.

“A question then arises. With such a great future, why should he fall into decadence and become the monsters’ lapdog?”

Su Lun was speechless.

He ground his teeth for a long time before he raised his head and stared at Xiong Wei. He asked falteringly, “But… Even if Lu Siya believed that you’re not the traitor, why should you side with her and spare Meng Chao?

“Xiong Ying was really killed by Meng Chao. A few experts examined his body, and even Lu Siya checked it. She can prove that all of Xiong Ying’s wounds and the fatal chest one were left by Meng Chao!

“Lu Siya, would you dare to say that those wounds weren’t left by Meng Chao?

“Meng Chao, would you dare to say that you didn’t kill Xiong Ying?”

Lu Siya and Meng Chao looked at each other.

A strange light shone in their eyes.

“Indeed, I admit that all of Xiong Ying’s wounds were left by Meng Chao,” Lu Siya said calmly.

“I admit that I killed Xiong Ying too,” Meng Chao admitted to it frankly.

“You heard it! Gang Leader Xiong, he admitted to it!” Su Lun looked like he had just grabbed a lifesaving log and shouted hysterically. “Meng Chao is the one who killed your son! This is the absolute truth!”

“I know.” Xiong Wei’s expression held so much pain that it was an unbearable sight. He sucked in a deep breath and said clearly, “They’re not the only ones who examined his body. I also personally went to see it behind everyone’s backs. I touched his wounds and… even cut them open.

“Meng Chao is a rising star in the superhuman circle. I’ve naturally examined his fighting videos and am very familiar with his fighting style, including his unique b.l.o.o.d.y Soul.

“That’s why I was certain from the start that Xiong Yin was killed by Meng Chao.”

Su Lun was absolutely confused now. “If that’s the case, why then?”

“But after I personally checked my son’s body, I discovered something that I couldn’t understand. Perhaps you can explain it to me, since you have the brightest mind in the entire lair, Vice Gang Leader Su.”

Xiong Wei stared at Su Lun. His eyes were completely bloodshot, and he spoke in a quivering voice. “A father knows his son best. Even though I loved Xiong Ying, I also knew just how strong the boy was.

“With Meng Chao’s fighting strength, he could have killed Xiong Ying with just one slash.

“Even if it was dark, or they ran into each other in a narrow s.p.a.ce, or the battlefield was in absolute chaos, or Xiong Wei was able to perform outstandingly under the threat of death, or some other reason, Xiong Ying would still have died a horrible death in less than ten moves.

“So, Vice Gang Leader Su, tell me, why were there dozens of slashes on Xiong Ying’s body?”
