Chapter 525 - 38: Then, I’ve Played Enough

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The sounds of bodies collapsing to the ground echoed one after another in the metal corridor, perfectly uniform.

Lu Chao strode through as if traversing an empty land, leaving a trail of blood and corpses in his wake.

The heavy alloy doors posed no obstacle to him. Before long, Ghost Element controlled the Rebels to input the passwords and complete the iris authentications.

CLICK.

Another heavy metal door opened, revealing a wider silver corridor that was completely deserted.

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, scanning the surroundings, and soon spotted something unusual. Infrared lasers crisscrossed the area, and the metal plates on the ceiling and floor of the corridor were riddled with densely packed vents.

"Meow~~"

Ghost Element sensed something abnormal. Lu Chao smiled faintly and then stepped forward.

STEP!

HISS!!

As if triggered by a signal, the dense vents in the corridor suddenly spewed toxic mist. The entire corridor was completely sealed off, making it difficult to easily break through. The previously stationary infrared lasers also began to move, sweeping straight toward Lu Chao.

This scene was broadcast onto a mobile light screen in the underground base. The Law Enforcement Officers guarding behind the alloy doors sneered, their faces full of mockery as they watched the footage on their screens.

"This guy is actually so arrogant. He’s dead for sure."

"That’s a biochemical poison gas made from Beast King Poison. Very few at the Superpower Level can withstand it."

"The high-temperature burns from the infrared lasers would peel a layer of skin off even someone at the Transcendence Level. I’d like to see what gives him the right to..."

BOOM!!

The alloy doors before them shuddered violently, and the entire corridor trembled.

The expressions of the three Law Enforcement Officers changed slightly. Then, the ring of a blade erupted in their ears.

CLANG!!

BANG!!

The alloy doors were blown apart, revealing a massive gap. Lu Chao stepped out through it, Ink Blade in his right hand, completely unscathed. Even his black combat suit wasn’t damaged in the slightest.

The infrared lasers in the corridor behind him were still moving on their own, but they failed to catch his figure. He could even be seen greedily inhaling a mouthful of the grayish-white toxic mist.

"Smells pretty good." Wisps of the grayish-white toxic mist swirled at the tip of his nose. He then looked at the three of them with a curious expression. "Biochemical poison gas. Do you have the formula?"

As his words fell, the expressions of the three Exploration Level Law Enforcement Officers fluctuated. They wondered how this guy was actually fine.

In the brief dead silence, one of them glared furiously and suddenly erupted with arcs of energy.

"Stop playing tricks!!"

BOOM!!

With a flash of his figure, the most burly man stomped the ground and charged forward, the armor patterns all over his body flickering wildly. He was impressively a Superpower Armor User at the peak of the Exploration Level, arriving in front of Lu Chao in a single breath.

WHOOSH!!

His bombarded Fist Seal was wrapped in dark gold arcs of energy, resembling a dark gold sun. His eyes shone with a layer of destructive light, as if intending to blast Lu Chao into meat paste with a single punch.

CLANG!!

However, the ring of a blade sounded. All the dark gold light shattered and dimmed.

Lu Chao took a step forward, brushing past him. The Superpower Armor User’s fierce eyes widened in disbelief before his head slipped from his neck and fell to the ground.

"How impolite." Lu Chao gently shook his head and looked at the remaining two.

They were a man and a woman, their pupils constricted in utter horror at this moment.

"Attack together!!"

The man on the left roared furiously. The muscles on his body bulged inch by inch as his entire frame expanded and grew black scales. He was unexpectedly a beast-transformation Esper. In a mere instant, he transformed into a Superpower monster with a crocodile’s head and a human’s body. Standing two and a half meters tall, he swung his scale-covered arms forward.

RIP!!

The crocodile claws lunged at Lu Chao’s face, leaving long black trails that tore through the air. Even manganese steel alloy could be shredded by this strike; it was as if a Beast King from the wilderness had reappeared.

CLANG!!

However, the Ink Blade swung out, resembling a mountain shattering. A black blade light flashed past, and his scaled arms, which were tougher than manganese steel alloy, were cleaved in two like scrap paper.

As blood spurted, the opponent felt the pain and shuddered. Yet, facing Lu Chao’s calm gaze, he felt as if his dignity had been crushed and let out a desperate roar.

"Let’s die together!"

HUM!!

The crocodile head’s bloody maw suddenly opened wide, and black energy fluctuations rapidly gathered within it. He had actually developed the power of his Genetic Spring to an extremely high level, attempting to unleash a fatal strike akin to a Beast King’s breath.

Lu Chao’s eyes narrowed, showing no surprise or hesitation.

Instead...

STEP!

He stepped forward, the muscles in his right arm bunching up as they suddenly expanded by half their size.

In the next instant...

Mountain-Shattering Skill!

SQUELCH!!!

A vertical line of blood ran from top to bottom, spreading from the beast-transformation Esper’s crocodile head down to his lower abdomen. The energy breath gathering in his bloody maw was forcibly obliterated before it could be spewed. The man’s eyes widened as his body rapidly reverted to its human form.

Subsequently...

STEP!

Lu Chao brushed past him and continued walking forward.

SPLAT!!

Blood sprayed wildly, erupting from the bloodline on the beast-transformation Esper’s body and splashing onto the metal walls on both sides. His entire body could no longer hold together and immediately split into two halves, falling to the ground. The cuts through his internal organs and flesh were exceptionally smooth, like a mirror.

"You..."

Witnessing this scene, the final Female Superpower Law Enforcement Officer turned pale with horror and opened her mouth.

Without a second thought, she turned and flickered away, having completely lost the courage to fight. Her figure was as agile as a spider as she scurried upside down along the wall, fleeing deeper into the base.

She was just about to escape the area.

"Meow?"

A low cry echoed in her ear, sending a chill through her heart. She withdrew her peripheral vision that had been fixed on Lu Chao and looked ahead.

A black cat had appeared in front of her at some unknown point. It was also hanging upside down from the ceiling, its ruby-amber beast eyes locking gazes with her.
