Chapter Text:
“Let’s go with the combination then~”
The second ability of the scattering form, the bone-splitting bullet!
A shooting skill capable of erasing flesh and blood, just like the heavenly inquiry cannon, it is a pure energy attack that does not require bullets.
Upon hitting a target, it will completely dissolve all flesh and blood attached to the skeleton. Its power is related to the spiritual energy consumed by the user, their evolution level, and physical strength, as well as the spiritual energy of the attacked target.
Ye Zhongming’s total spiritual energy is vast as the sea; even if he only uses one thousandth of it, combined with his purple gear and skills, the power is still considerable. Moreover, the spiritual energy he consumed for that decisive strike was not merely one thousandth!
“Do you know who he is?”
Wen Yan did not immediately attack Ye Zhongming; instead, he sat on the back of a turtle and spoke to him.
“Does it make a difference?” Ye Zhongming put down his gun and looked at Wen Yan, whom he had met again since their last encounter at the Ten Thousand Beast Manor. “As long as they appear here, they are all my enemies. Killing them is all that matters.”
As he spoke, Ye Zhongming took two steps back, his expression changing slightly as he once again pulled out a vial of detoxification medicine and drank it.
The person he had just shot was instinctively trying to dodge the attack; therefore, the burst of golden sand was not thrown accurately and did not hit Ye Zhongming, merely landing on the ground not far in front of him.
However, in the brief moment of speaking, Ye Zhongming inhaled a bit of the scent wafting from the golden sand and immediately felt discomfort in his body, prompting him to retreat and take medicine.
At the same time, he felt a lingering fear; thankfully, he had decided to strike first regardless of his status, or else that golden sand could have caused him significant harm.
But what was this stuff, and why was its toxicity so severe?
“He’s not one of us, but rather an agent.”
After Wen Yan said this, he noticed that Ye Zhongming showed no surprise, and he continued, “He is an agent of Holy Sangru.”
Hearing this name, Ye Zhongming was momentarily stunned, recalling that during the Ming Water Feast, one of the All Races of the Universe had even recruited him. That clan member of Holy Sangru had mentioned a conqueror of the Holy Mountain, the unyielding Haritofu. If Ye Zhongming joined, he would receive the blessings of a king and the blood of a war god, whose name seemed to be Mendis.
“What a coincidence that he came here to meet you, the King of Cloud Summit, only to die at your hands.”
Wen Yan spoke these words without much change in expression or tone, but the glee behind them was easy to detect.
Perhaps it was because Ye Zhongming had long seen what kind of person he was that Wen Yan did not bother to hide his sinister character.
Ye Zhongming was also an agent of the Tarros Red Dwarf and understood the consequences of killing an agent; he would likely face continuous assassination attempts, even overt attacks, as the All Races of the Universe issued bounties to uphold their dignity.
However, Ye Zhongming wasn’t particularly afraid of such retaliation. He was strong; the All Races of the Universe, due to the roulette rules, could not personally descend to Earth and could only issue bounties for other agents to handle. But as a fellow Earthling, Ye Zhongming’s fame could intimidate most people, while only a rare few would dare to try him, and they would probably not even breach Cloud Summit's defenses.
Wen Yan had had opportunities to strike before but chose instead to watch, all for this very idea.
“Feeling proud? Do you think I’ve stirred up a big trouble?”
Ye Zhongming looked at the big shots in the pavilion of quality, focusing more on the level eight battle beast named Qian Nian, which was renowned alongside the earth yellow pill in the national district.
