Gate of Apocalypse

"It looks like this store has changed owners?" Chen Xiaolian sat down on a chair directly opposite the tuxedoed man, "Where is Phoenix?"

"It seems you really are her friend, no wonder you care so much about her." The tuxedoed man took a leisurely puff of his cigar: "Don't worry, she's not dead yet. But it's time for you to worry more about yourself."

"I don't think there's anything to worry about." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "Just tell me where she is."

"You don't need to know, because I will send you there." The tuxedoed man shook his head: "Judging from your face, you are not a European Awakened. So, I'll give you two choices - become our companion, or become a cellmate of the Phoenix."

"Hey?" Chen Xiaolian laughed dumbly: "I really didn't expect to bump into a kidnapper here. But ...... with Phoenix's strength, it shouldn't be that easy to be kidnapped."

"In front of our Starfall battle team, no one can boast about their strength." The tuxedoed man laughed: "She originally had the same idea as you, but now she should already be regretting it."

"Starfall Warriors ...... How come there are you guys everywhere." Chen Xiaolian sighed: "I've dealt with you guys in the Asian zone. So, you're from the European region?"

"I heard that the division there in Asia is weak, so much time has passed and it still hasn't finished integrating the Awakened in its own region, what a bunch of trash." The tuxedoed man sneered disdainfully.

"Okay, I probably understand what's going on." Chen Xiaolian nodded, "Your European region, it's quite domineering."

The Starfall Battle Team was all expanding ever since they broke away from the Thorn Blossom Group. The Asian zone, the Stiff Dragon, took the route of being wishy-washy, enlisting the various Awakened teams around themselves.

This European zone, on the other hand, is clearly the style of the hardliners. For the Awakened and the team that you like, directly ask the other party to join. And those who refuse or resist, they will be directly eliminated.

"You want to integrate all the Awakened in Europe and become the only team. All those who are not willing to obey and join you will be captured?" Chen Xiaolian looked at the tuxedoed man, "And finally, then fight for the dominant position in the entire Starfall Battle Team, is that right?"

"To be precise, it is only the stronger individuals who have such an opportunity. Those that are too weak, it doesn't matter if you want them to join or not, just kill them if they refuse to join." The tuxedoed man flicked his cigarette ash and smiled confidently: "Phoenix's strength is very pleasing to our deacon, so she has some extra time. As for you--"

As the tuxedoed man's words fell, a door behind him was suddenly opened and in walked five men in combat fatigues.

"Now, it's your turn to choose. I hope you don't refuse, because I don't quite want to kill you." The tuxedoed man stood up from his chair, "Deacon thinks highly of Phoenix. If you could join us as well, it might be a boost to her changing her mind."

"Wait first, don't be in a hurry." Chen Xiaolian shook his head and remained seated in his chair, "Sit down first and wait for me to finish my question."

"You're not panicking at all. However - the prerequisite for bottom strength is strength." The tuxedoed man elegantly lifted a glass of wine: "In front of the Starfall Warriors, you don't have that qualification. When you walked into this bar and met me, your fate was already sealed. Death has opened its arms and is ready to embrace you. Unless - let me see you submit."

The tuxedoed man finished his glass, tilted his head and closed his eyes, raised his right hand high and let go, the glass fell to the ground and broke crisply into countless pieces: "You have ten seconds to kneel down and beg me for your life!"

BANG!!!

A fist slammed heavily on the tuxedoed man's face.

Before he had time to react to what was happening, the tuxedoed man had been sent flying, knocking a large hole in the wall behind him.

"You know what?" Chen Xiaolian stood up and coldly looked at the hole in the wall, "Your pretentious look is really disgusting."

Those five minions just reacted at this moment and quickly pulled out their weapons.

Several beams of light were shot at Chen Xiaolian at the same time.

Chen Xiaolian just stood still and didn't move. But when the incoming beams reached his body, they were strangely and suddenly refracted back.

The news that the phoenix was captured made Chen Xiaolian very unhappy, but he still showed mercy.

Did not take out the Guido Luo throat bow, not even the sword in stone. Chen Xiaolian just lifted the chair he was just sitting on, gently split it and ripped off a chair leg.

With the chair leg in his hand, Chen Xiaolian moved his body and already appeared in front of those five ministers.

Bang!

The chair leg smashed heavily on the first man's leg, and the snow-white bone stubble immediately pierced out from the thigh, piercing through the protective clothing.

Before they even had time to use skills and such, or to switch the guns in their hands to melee weapons, the Awakened had already had two thigh bones broken, and were lying on the ground tumbling and wailing.

And at this moment, the tuxedoed man had just gotten up from the ground behind the hole.

His body was already covered with dirty dust, and his tuxedo had been torn through several slits, his face full of incredulous expression.

With a move of his left hand, he had taken out five flying swords, which opened up in his palm like a fan leaf.

A silver mane pierced the air like a meteor and shot towards Chen Xiaolian.

The outer layer of the flying knives is infused with thick, substantial fighting qi, and its power far exceeds that of a main battle tank's main cannon.

But Chen Xiaolian simply stretched out his hand, cupped the flying knife in his hand, and casually threw it to the ground.

"That's all you've got?" Chen Xiaolian sneered and continued walking towards him.

A bead of sweat dripped from the corner of the tuxedoed man's forehead. Both hands waved violently at the same time, and dozens of silver mangles of flying daggers appeared at the same time.

However, these dozens of silver mangles were equally like mud and oxen entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

High hand!

The tuxedoed man's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell and leaped backwards with all his might to distance himself from Chen Xiaolian.

But just as his feet left the ground, his body seemed uncontrollable and flew forward violently.

Chen Xiaolian's outstretched right hand just pinched his neck, and then heavily smashed his whole body on the ground.

The concrete floor was hit by the heavy impact with a series of spider web-like cracks.

The tuxedo man's body protective clothing level is not low, but still can not resist such a strong impact, was shaken to a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"You ...... are what you are!"

His eyes were already filled with fear as he looked at Chen Xiaolian.

He originally thought that this time he had hit nothing more than a small character who had thrown himself into the net. To kill or to capture and send to the headquarters is fine, whether to die or live, it is in his own mind.

But he did not expect that this time he had kicked an iron plate.

This young man from the East, until now even did not use any serious skills, but he did not even have the opportunity to resist?

"Ah...!"

A miserable scream.

Chen Xiaolian did not answer him, but only pinched the thumb of his right hand and gently squeezed it.

A crisp bone cracking sound rang out, and the tuxedoed man screamed miserably.

"Don't ...... stop pinching! My bones are shattered!"

However, as if Chen Xiaolian could not hear his miserable scream, two fingers continued to pinch his index finger.

One more pinch!

Continuous screams, the tuxedo man's right hand five finger bones have all been crushed into pieces.

Only after crushing all the finger bones did Chen Xiaolian finally speak.

He let go of his hand and looked down at the tuxedoed man on the ground: "Phoenix is my friend, and you have my friend, so I'm in a bad mood. From now on, you answer whatever I ask. If you refuse-"

Without waiting for the tuxedo man to speak, Chen Xiaolian had already squeezed his left hand and looked at him coldly: "There are 206 bones in a person's body, and you still have 201 chances to refuse to answer."

"I ...... I won't ......," the tuxedoed man hissed quickly.

"Very well." Chen Xiaolian nodded, "Where is Phoenix now."

"In ...... Paris ......"

......

Chen Xiaolian closed the iron door and walked out of this speakeasy.

He was in a bad mood right now.

The tuxedo man was well-behaved. After realizing that his life could end in the most tragic way at any moment, he did not hide the slightest bit of his problem from Chen Xiaolian.

It was about two months ago that Starfall Battle Team Europe sent a team member to approach Phoenix, hoping that she would give up the Cafe Battle Team and join herself.

Phoenix declined very simply and cut off one of the hands of that condescending team member.

She was a good fighter, but after all, she was alone, and she was facing a huge team like Starfall.

Three weeks ago, Starfall Warriors Europe sent a squad of twenty people to complete a successful decapitation operation against Phoenix. Despite killing six of them, Phoenix was ultimately outnumbered and was successfully captured alive.

The café team is also considered a famous team in Europe, and at the same time, Phoenix is also the queen of the mob in Bucharest. The combination of these two identities, along with the battle prowess she showed during the decapitation operation, made Starfall Battle Team Europe think that if they could get her to join, it would be a big help to the team.

So the deacon of the European zone gave Phoenix a month to change his decision.

If Phoenix still insisted on refusing when the time arrived, then death would be waiting for her.

Now, there was one week left in the time.

But for the current Chen Xiaolian, time is not an important issue. He could go to Paris at any time and save Phoenix.

He was just a little scared. If he hadn't coincidentally come to Phoenix at this time, perhaps he would have lost this friend forever.

And what really makes him torn is what to do with Starfall Battle Team Europe.

With his current strength, it's not that difficult to barge right in, smash the ground, and get Phoenix out. Even Chen Xiaolian did not have to worry about the Phoenix being used to blackmail himself.

But Chen Xiaolian's ultimate goal is to get all the awakened ones to be integrated together.

This is a bit of a headache.

Like these few small characters just now, not to mention breaking limbs, is to kill them all, it is not relevant to the big picture. But Starfall Warriors Europe has integrated almost all of Europe, one can't just kill them all.

That's right!

Chen Xiaolian was thinking, when his mind suddenly lit up.

How did he forget about him?
