Chapter 854 - 209: Underground
A silver-white revolver appeared in Jin’s hand, identical to Su Changxing’s revolver in appearance.
Her ability could break the boundary between reality and illusion, materializing the weapon from her mind, and exerting a power beyond reason.
This was an extremely terrifying ability.
It was something humans were not meant to possess, involving the most fundamental rules of operation, perhaps only beings like Divine Spirits could possess similar abilities.
Jin stood on the flaming steel framework, wielding a mini Gatling gun, shooting into the ruins of the Celestial Guard Tower. Dozens of soldiers with their clothing mostly burnt off, trying to escape from the flames, were shot to pieces by several bullets and completely vanished in the flames.
In the time that had passed.
Shen Xuan was like a self-expanding planet, growing stronger as time went on, until it became unbearable, causing three previously relatively independent existences to strengthen their connection, stabilizing their existence by sharing such power.
But at the same time, they began to interfere with each other, externally manifested as madness.
In this explosion, none of the three councillors died, as they possessed high-tier mysterious items for self-defense and escape, to prevent sudden deaths in such emergencies.
After all, in such an environment, if they suddenly died, probably the entire system of the National Council would collapse.
The life of each councillor was vitally important.
Before the apocalypse, the National Council controlled most of the world, openly and secretly connecting with eight vast families, and half of the councillors in the National Master Council came from or were somewhat related to these eight families.
This seemingly colossal presence was more fragile than imagined.
After enduring the apocalypse, the National Council still existed but was severely weakened, coupled with the threat from emerging forces like Seventeen, it was on the brink of collapse.
"It was Chenxi’s doing."
"I always knew that those paparazzi had ill intentions towards us, didn’t expect them to suddenly strike at this moment, a bunch of mad dogs!"
Wang Yuan leaned against the wall, lighting a cigar and cursing, though his clothes were mostly burnt, he didn’t sustain any serious injury.
At this moment.
They had already been moved to a place hundreds of meters underground, completely unaffected by the explosion.
It wouldn’t be easy for those from Chenxi to find them here, and even if they did, there were emergency exit routes.
Mu Yulin glanced at his phone, then raised his head and said: "According to my information, it seems the one attacking us is from the Shen Family, but you all know, she had long left Shen Family’s control."
"Chenxi also had no reason to strike at us at this time, I suspect this is her personal action, is this considered revenge?"
"Sure enough, she’s a lunatic!"
To reach this position, they had all faced great winds and waves, even in the face of such an attack, they wouldn’t be overly panicked.
Chen Qiqiang leaned on his chair, arms crossed with little expression, seemingly pondering something. To speak of strength, he was the strongest of the three, a Tier Eight Extraordinary, even having obtained the key to break into Tier Seven.
Compared to the other two who looked disheveled, he had not a single trace of damage, with his clothes clean and intact.
"Do you think the three of us will really die here?" Chen Qiqiang half-jokingly said, though his eyes showed no worry.
"At worst we’ll just leave here, what are you afraid of." Mu Yulin laughed and said, here was equipped with a mysterious item for long-distance teleportation, foreseeing such an attack might occur.
Only then could they so casually discuss things within the Celestial Guard Tower.
Chen Qiqiang nodded, took off the watch from his left hand and placed it aside, suddenly smiling and said: "Makes sense, I’m indeed not worried, how about you all."
Mu Yulin suddenly felt something was wrong hearing this, quickly turned his head and saw Chen Qiqiang wielding a half-high machete, cleanly beheading Wang Yuan from the side, blood sprayed from the major artery, splattering onto the ceiling.
"Someone, Councillor Chen has betrayed us!"
Mu Yulin’s voice echoed throughout the room, but there was no sound outside, seemingly empty with no one else in existence.
He held a small stone tablet in his hand, then quickly ran backward.
At the same time.
A large amount of rock grew from the underground, closing the space behind him, separating the two.
He now only wanted to flee, for Chen Qiqiang to do this, he must have been fully prepared.
Seeing Mu Yulin escape, Chen Qiqiang didn’t chase after him, instead picked up a nearby tablecloth to wipe the machete in his hand, "Since I was prepared to take you two old guys out, do you think you can still escape?"
Mu Lin heard Chen Qiqiang’s voice, his face changed greatly, but didn’t stop the action of his feet, continually running towards the escape route.
"Seal."
A shadow slid in the space, a cloaked person appeared abruptly before him, extending a hand with a blood-red eye in the palm, staring straight at him.
Mu Yulin was ready to counterattack, yet found his Extraordinary ability completely vanished at this moment, he was like merely a slightly stronger ordinary person.
This sudden change plunged him into extreme panic, he turned his head and shouted behind: "Chen Qiqiang, you can’t kill me! What do you want to do? I can help you."
Mu Yulin quietly fell to the ground, his eyes burst, foaming at the mouth, his body kept trembling, losing consciousness.
Chen Qiqiang looked at the shiny machete in his hand, satisfactorily smiled, picked up the watch previously placed on the table, put it back on, and shouted at the door:
"Is it settled?"
Dozens of masked, cloaked people walked in from outside, accompanied by the drifting scent of blood in the air.
"All dead, not a single one left alive." The large, tall figure at the front with a blue mechanical device on the left face replied.
Chen Qiqiang glanced at Wang Yuan’s body on the ground, also took out a similar black mask from his coat and wore it, then turned and walked away:
"Clean this place up, don’t leave any clues... it’s all the work of that monster from Chenxi."
"Understood."
"Damn it, these old geezers still kept secrets from me, I didn’t even know there was a teleportation channel here, everyone’s a councillor, couldn’t be more open? Why make distinctions."
"It’s alright now."
Chen Qiqiang cursed as he spoke, kicked Wang Yuan’s body before leaving.
The battle outside continued, only those soldiers of the Celestial Guard Tower didn’t know the councillors they were supposed to protect had long been tragically killed underground.
