Chapter 428: Chapter 427: Provoked Me and Still Want to Rest in Peace?
Old Gore is dead.
It seems smooth.
The two joined forces and in just a few minutes, they killed an Upper Realm Grandmaster...
Moreover, their opponent was a seasoned Grandmaster, whose combat experience almost surpassed the sum of theirs squared.
But what they utilized was precisely the opponent’s rich combat experience.
Xu Lingjun knew that no matter how they plotted, Old Gore wasn’t someone so easily manipulated. If they showed even a hint of their intentions, all subsequent plans would be immediately seen through by Old Gore.
In that case, they might as well use Old Gore’s wisdom to their advantage.
Wasn’t he supposed to see through things... then let him.
He already knew Xu Lingjun would ambush him, so Xu Lingjun honestly ambushed him, letting him be prepared in advance, so his full-force attack could be used by Xu Lingjun...
Old Gore probably never imagined that someone could actually withstand a full-force attack of an Upper Realm Grandmaster and then return it multiple times over.
In fact, this was their only chance of victory.
The battle seemed smooth, but in reality, if Old Gore had delayed his actions even slightly, if Xu Lingjun couldn’t withstand it, or if Old Gore had been a bit quicker to dodge the critical hit.
The situation would undoubtedly be immediately reversed.
Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City would find it difficult to even escape...
The plan seemed simple, but because it was simple, it was perfect...
This plan was finalized after Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City discussed it for a whole night, perfectly utilizing the characteristics of their Cultivation Techniques.
Even so, after successfully killing Old Gore.
Xu Lingjun could barely move, and Han Yun City was wounded by his powerful strike... if it were anyone else, they’d be dead without a doubt.
Xu Lingjun downed a bottle of Spirit Blood Potion, drinking slowly.
Xu Lingjun reflected that the Source Value loss exceeded half in this action, and wondered if it could be recovered upon returning to the Polar Star Battlefield.
Han Yun City struggled to get up, looking at Old Gore lying on the ground, regretting, "What a pity, we couldn’t explain your true identity to him. I really wanted to see his expression when he knew your real identity..."
"If our opponent was such a person, any slight carelessness on our part, we’d be the ones lying here now."
Xu Lingjun shook his head, "Don’t waste too many words with enemies. The only good enemy, in my view, is a dead one."
"I’ve learned something."
Han Yun City said earnestly, feeling Xu Lingjun made a good point.
Xu Lingjun closed his eyes and whispered, "Xiaoya, you can start the operation."
Inside the Armory, a Mecha stripped of all its weapons had already awoken, following its master’s command, it finally moved.
Breaking free from the iron chains binding it.
Under the pull of the Sensor, weapons placed in distant locations flew up on their own, heading in the direction of the main body, smashing through any obstacles in the way.
In just thirty seconds, Infinite Justice was reassembled.
The Battle Armor didn’t return to Xu Lingjun’s side but flew up towards the direction of the research institute... even if there was a one-in-a-million chance, Xu Lingjun and the others couldn’t allow the loss of the Transformation Capsule.
Two minutes later.
Accompanied by intense cannon fire...
The research institute was immediately submerged in the bombardment, together with the researchers inside, none survived!
The roaring cannon fire instantly alarmed the pirates who stayed behind, who swiftly deduced the ruse of "luring the tiger away from the mountain."
As they rushed out with weapons, they found the street, at an unknown time, those old pals seemed to have gone mad, biting anyone they met, tearing and eating raw flesh with a frenzied posture far more crazed than usual.
Before, they at least knew to cook it.
"Quick, find the boss!"
The pirates hurried forward to help control those former brothers, with some heading towards the Imperial Palace...
However, as they rushed in, they found nothing but a pool of blood on the ground and the dismembered body of Old Gore.
"Boss... is dead?"
The pirate who came to report was stunned, unable to believe what happened before them...
But the body lying there, staring lifelessly, was unmistakably the boss.
The boss was really dead.
How could this be...
Be aware that when Old Gore was young, he fled the Polar Star Battlefield, becoming a pirate, and almost never suffered setbacks, always managing to retreat safely from any enemy.
He built a grand enterprise in his old age, making him, in a way, more remarkable than the founding Emperor of Great Xia, having single-handedly established a civilization.
Yet now, he’s dead, dying silently.
"Something’s wrong, it’s a ruse to lure the tiger away, we’ve been tricked, the enemy still has attacks, the enemy still has other methods!"
The pirate reacted quickly, exclaiming, "Heavy Armory, we must quickly distribute the weapons in the Heavy Armory."
Old Gore, to ensure the stability of his rule, did not allow anyone except his warriors to possess heavy weapons.
But now...
If these pirates could access these weapons, they might stabilize the situation again.
Thinking this, the pirate searched Old Gore’s body and indeed found the key.
Then rushed towards the direction of the Heavy Armory.
Ten minutes later, when he arrived in front of a heavy metal door, he used his pupil and the key to open the door immediately, without even getting a clear look at what was inside.
A fierce wind assaulted him, making the pirate’s world flip; as he settled, he saw two pairs of feet slowly become visible, walking towards them... then was met with endless darkness.
"This is their Heavy Armory, destroy it, and these pirates won’t have the Martial Skills to deal with the zombies."
"Then stop dawdling, let’s do it!"
"Wait, there’re some weapons inside we can use, I have Capsules, we can take some."
Xu Lingjun stepped inside.
After a long time, he came out.
After all, being young, Han Yun City and Xu Lingjun almost fully recovered, with a low roar, the endless Blood Flame erupted in the Heavy Armory, triggering the ammunition inside. Immediately, fiery light burst into the sky along with roaring explosions.
The two again became invisible...
Even though the patrol teams rushed over promptly, they still didn’t find any trace of the two.
As the two exited the Imperial Palace.
They clearly saw the streets were already in chaos.
The first four infected were old pirates, very influential, with many subordinates, and those servants couldn’t escape their claws. Once bitten, their first instinct was to flee, but once the virus erupted, they quickly became new sources of infection,
In just a few hours,
those once bustling streets had become a Human World Purgatory, with zombies pouncing at every living target.
No matter how high one’s Martial Arts Cultivation was, it was to no avail...
Among the infected zombies were those with high Martial Arts Cultivation; although they lost their Martial Artist instincts after infection, their sturdy bodies were far superior to ordinary zombies. Unless there were Martial Artists of the Profound Realm, they could hardly break free from their onslaught.
But at this rate.
The entire Siria Planet being completely infected was just a matter of time.
In the distance, sounds of cannon fire occasionally echoed, showing Infinite Justice was executing justice here.
And the pirates’ counterattacks were still sharp... but due to being leaderless, they already showed some chaotic independence!
"Xiaoya, give them a hand, speed up the infection."
Su Xun said.
"Yes, Master!"
Infinite Justice, fighting fiercely across the city amidst artillery fire, grabbed some more powerful zombies and flew up, heading elsewhere... preparing to drop these zombies in other cities to spread the infection!
Han Yun City shook his head, "If Roger knew that after his death, you used his Sea King Order to destroy his foundation, I’m afraid he wouldn’t rest in peace."
"If three generations of your family were killed by the same person, would you rest in peace?"
Xu Lingjun retorted.
Han Yun City shook his head, feeling sorrowful; this situation, how could one rest in peace... provoking Xu Lingjun was truly the Zhou Family’s biggest mistake this lifetime.
