Chapter 87, Beheading
Chapter 87, Beheading
Boom!
Thick smoke billowed up from the ground, and a blurry black dot suddenly broke through the thick smoke at a terrifying speed that almost broke the sound barrier—it was Chu Kai.
The laughing girls, wielding holy swords, surrounded the city from all directions, and the two sides raced together in the slightly desolate sky of Yin City tonight.
"You bastard! How could you..."
Clang!
The holy sword struck Chu Kai's back, producing a metallic clang. Before he could finish his curse, he was sent flying forward like a cannonball.
Using the momentum, he suddenly accelerated a second time in mid-air, creating a gust of wind.
But the girls had already surrounded him further ahead.
Slash at the neck, stab at the heart, chop into the shoulder, swing at the ankle.
More and more girls appeared out of thin air, and the intersecting holy swords acted like shackles, locking Chu Kai firmly in mid-air.
Chu Kai's eyes were bloodshot as he roared furiously, "Betrayal... cough cough cough cough..." Blood spurted from his mouth. "I gave you everything I could, how dare you refuse!"
Cheng Chenfei, a hundred meters away in the air, said in a calm tone, "I don't care."
Interests? Money?
He did indeed use a scheme to his advantage, taking advantage of the other party's plans to achieve his own goals, but that doesn't mean he would act like a businessman, knowing when to quit while he's ahead and pursuing some bullshit "profit maximization."
"I just feel..."
Cheng Chen closed his eyes slightly. "I'm very unhappy."
"Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Fairy Demoness?! I am the CEO of the Fairy Dream Group, and I represent the 'Balcony'! If you kill me, the Fairy Demoness will not let you off the hook!" Chu Kai struggled desperately, shouting hoarsely.
"The Demon Princess..."
Cheng Chen gazed at the crescent moon in the night sky, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.
Then, he shook his head indifferently: "Let's talk about that later."
"asshole!"
Chu Kai roared, and violent magical power surged and burst forth from his body.
The girls were blasted away one by one, and Cheng Chen felt his sense of "presence" fading away.
Chu Kai was engulfed in raging gray flames as he looked straight at him with a serious expression: "Cheng Chen, I can give you one last chance. Stop now, and I can pretend nothing happened."
"ha."
Hearing this, Cheng Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you really Chu Kai?"
"What!?"
The other party was taken aback.
"You, the Demon Lord who has long held a high position, as the contractor of the Holy Spirit of the Disaster Relief Institute and the watchdog of the Fairy Demoness, are far too weak." Cheng Chen calmly looked directly into the other's eyes. "It was just a small mistake that ruined half of Yin City. For such a mistake, an apology statement and three cups of self-punishment would be enough to settle things. What exactly makes you give in to me time and time again?"
"you!"
"You didn't contract with the Xuan Turtle."
Cheng Chen raised his hand, and the girls lined up, holding the holy sword in front of them with both hands.
Chu Kai fell silent, his eyes lowered and he said nothing.
Then, he raised his hands, his ten fingers digging into his face like iron hooks, and pulled down forcefully: "Hehe...hehehehe! You saw through me, oh dear, oh dear, how embarrassing."
Without wasting words, Cheng Chen gave the order with a flick of his finger.
The girls immediately flapped their wings, drew their swords, and flew away.
Chu Kai didn't resist, but scratched his head vigorously, complaining incoherently, "Why can't you listen to me properly? Why can't you just follow the script I wrote?"
He abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment. "If you keep acting like this, won't the whole plot be ruined? Can't you even respect other people's hard work? The kind of self-righteous, inconsiderate scoundrels I hate most in this life are you!"
The girls easily plunged the holy sword into his heart.
"Cough cough..."
Blood gushed from Chu Kai's mouth, but his twisted face still bore a mocking, maniacal laugh. "Now, are you satisfied? Come on, hurry up and kill me! I'll be waiting for you in hell! Bastard!"
Cheng Chen calmly shook her head: "Stop acting."
"You dare to yell at me only because your true form isn't here. Have you already come up with a new script? Let me guess, after I kill 'Chu Kai' with extremely cruel methods, which one will you control next? His wife or son? To accuse him in front of the Fairy Demoness, or to wag your tail in front of some other random person, luring them to turn against me?"
Chu Kai gave a mocking laugh, "So what if you guessed? You can't find me anyway!"
Yes, Cheng Chen really couldn't find him.
At first, Brilliant Master only wanted to use the identity of "Chu Kai" to legitimately get closer to Cheng Chen, introduce him into the pre-arranged script, and gain the greatest benefit with the least cost.
Now that he's been exposed by accident, all he's lost is the useful alias "Chu Kai," which has ruined his plans.
His true form remains hidden in the shadows, operating only through controlled puppets, yet he still possesses countless plans and scripts.
Cheng Chen had absolutely no clue about him. He could make a comeback at any time and control anyone to target and disgust him.
"You know absolutely nothing!"
The Glorious Lord, still using Chu Kai's dying mouth, roared, "Go ahead and vent! I will make you live in constant fear forever. You, and everyone around you, will not be spared! I will torture you mercilessly, and one day you will kneel before me, begging for mercy like a dog!"
Cheng Chen wasn't angry; instead, he spoke calmly, as if discussing the weather: "Do you know what a frog in a well and a mayfly have in common?"
The Brilliant Lord was taken aback, not understanding what he was talking about for a moment.
"That's just like you, completely ignorant yet self-righteous," Cheng Chen replied calmly.
Suddenly, Chu Kai's expression changed.
Because he saw people who shouldn't be there under any circumstances.
Chu Junzhuo.
He couldn't fly; Jiang Fei used magic to carry him to Cheng Chen's side.
"President Cheng," Chu Junzhuo greeted politely, completely ignoring the 'father' beside him, and handed over a note, "Someone wants me to give this to you."
Cheng Chen glanced at it and saw an address.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!"
The Glorious Lord was no fool; he realized almost immediately what was written on the note.
His eyes, which should have been dead, suddenly widened, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar: "Since that's the case, then let's all die together!"
Chu Kai actually broke free from the Holy Sword's suppression and charged towards Cheng Chen with a ferocious attack.
The girls stood in front of him without fear.
The first girl pierced his abdomen with the holy sword, but he did not waver in the slightest and smashed the girl's head with a punch.
The second girl leaped down and slashed at him the instant he threw a punch. The holy sword embedded itself in his shoulder, cut along his collarbone to his lower ribs, and then he grabbed her wings and tore them in two.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the third and fourth girls stabbed him in the back with one sword, ripping off a large chunk of flesh from his waist, and then severed his left leg at the root with the other. He roared, and raging gray flames engulfed them instantly, turning them into a fireball.
The fifth, the sixth, the seventh...
Every girl could leave a fatal wound on Chu Kai, but he didn't care and kept rushing towards Cheng Chen.
Pfft!
The eighth girl pierced his head with a sword, and Chu Kai's movements came to an abrupt halt.
"You're right."
Cheng Chen ignored the dissipating magical fragments around him, quietly gazing at the dying puppet before him. His tone was indifferent as he said, "If I can't get rid of you now, you'll become even more insidious and unpredictable in the future, making it even harder to catch you. Today might be my only chance."
He slowly raised his hand. "And I've always been best at seizing the only opportunities I have!"
In the miraculous vision, the desolate hills where the girls were buried welcomed the first person to set foot there in the distant past.
He strolled across the gray hills, walked to a dusty statue, brushed away the thick layer of dust from its face, and took the holy sword from its hand.
"Girls, go."
He murmured to himself.
The so-called "miracle" is by no means as simple as a high-level spell.
The girls emerged from the void, fighting and sacrificing for him, seemingly just some kind of familiar?
No, that's not it.
They are born from the heart, and are travelers of the heart.
As they fully enter reality, Cheng Chen will also fully fall into the world of the soul.
The instant he grasped the holy sword, he took a step forward.
Distance lost its meaning before him; the reflections of countless cities and the outlines of streets were frantically thrown behind him on both sides of his vision, like a rapidly spinning roller.
When this matter was settled, what came into view was no longer the howling wind in the sky above Yincheng, but an ordinary-looking man hidden in an ordinary apartment building.
"you……"
The Radiant Lord stared in terror at the figure that appeared before him.
click.
A porcelain-like crack appeared on Cheng Chen's skin, but he didn't care. Instead, he raised the holy sword.
"Wait, wait! Hold on! We can talk."
The glorious Lord was terrified and raised his hands in surrender.
However, the next second, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his hands suddenly formed a hand seal. Several thick, violent bolts of purple lightning appeared out of thin air without warning and struck down.
Cheng Chen was unharmed, but severed his legs with a single sword strike.
"Ughhhhh!"
The Brilliant Lord wailed, frantically crawling backward, "I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry! President Cheng, Master Cheng! There's really no need for us to kill each other, is there? I can help you, help you control the entire Yin City, you can become emperor, and you can have that woman you want..."
"I can give you a 'holy embryo'! Do you know what a 'holy embryo' is? It's..."
Clang!
A flash of sword light streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning.
The head of the Glorious Lord flew high into the air and rolled several times on the ground.
"call."
Cheng Chen wiped his forehead and exhaled.
