Novel Full Chapter 506: True Evil
All the pores in Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s body released incredibly invasive spirit energy. It enveloped Meng Chao’s entire body like a huge, gaping mouth.
With each word the man said, spirit energy crashed violently against Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field. It was like an invisible hyena tearing into his flesh.
Meng Chao’s spirit energy circulated and gathered into spirit gas to surround his body and form an impenetrable armor.
Their second competition began from that second onward.
Meng Chao was not at all terrified by Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s sinister actions.
He said coldly, “Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, you were once a famous ace hunter in the hunter circle and killed countless monsters. I didn’t expect that you would one day end up as their lapdog.”
Meng Chao did not think that he would be able to convince Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang to change his ways with a glib tongue.
After all, this peerless criminal was different from Lin Chuan and Gao Ye.
However, Meng Chao really wanted to beat around the bush and see whether Gao Yang knew about the mastermind and the monster civilization.
And if he did, he wanted to see whether he could get more information about the Vortex.
At the same time, Meng Chao wanted to give the impression that he was badly injured and had to stall time by talking so that he could control his injuries.
In any case, after the explosion, all of Leprosy Village and half of Golden Tooth Lair faced a powerful spirit energy magnetic field interference that attacked every electronic indiscriminately and every radio signal.
It were not only Meng Chao’s neural tactical data link and communicators that were crippled. Most of the communicators were suffering from major interference and could not be used.
Meng Chao could not get any reinforcements from outside the lair, but Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang could not contact the Vortex either.
The underground was now theirs alone. Before they found out the victor and the loser was killed, no one would interfere with their fight.
When Meng Chao said that Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang was the monsters’ lapdog, he did not seem shocked or angry.
He cackled and swallowed the remaining half of the last ear before he licked the blood on his lips. Then, he said calmly, “You’re mistaken. I became a hunter for the pure joy of hunting. It doesn’t matter to me whether my prey is a human or a monster.
“Honestly, after the first time I killed a human, I discovered that compared to most monsters, humans are the better prey.
“Humans possess brains that are much more developed than those of most monsters, and they possess more intelligence. They can, thus, execute much more complicated strategies. The feeling of success from hunting down a human cannot be compared to hunting down a monster.
“Besides, humans are full of emotions.
“When humans think that they have escaped from me, they feel joy from having escaped a disaster. When they surrounded me and are about to kill me but end up stepping into my trap, they show shock and fear. There are also those who show courage by gritting their teeth and swinging their weapons at me, even though they can’t win against me. These things are something that most monsters do not possess.
“Trust me. Once you’ve hunted a human once, you can never go back.
“The hilarious thing is, you call me Bloody Slaughter, but yourselves hunters. But you don’t know that those who only know how to hunt monsters are at most butchers. Only those who hunt humans are real hunters!”
‘This guy is absolutely mad.’
Meng Chao was unmoved. He said coldly, “Unfortunately, Mr. Real Hunter, you’re beaten up to the point that you could only run away from us butchers. You had to hide like a rat in a drain.
“At the end of the day, you could only submit to the creatures you once hunted. You bent your knee to monsters and betrayed the interests of humans. Even so, you only got a bit of power from the monsters to flaunt.
“Hah, scum like you only knows how to hide. You’re not a hunter. At most, you’re just a lapdog kept by the monsters!”
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang did not deny his relationship with the monsters, but he was not angered by Meng Chao’s words either.
He only said, “I might be the monsters’ lapdog, but you’re not that much better than me. You’re the lapdog of the nine great mega corporations.”
He thought that Meng Chao was the same as Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and the other veteran hunters and was hired by Sky Pillar, Universe, Soaring Dragon, Thundercloud, or one of the other mega corporations.
Of course, Dragon City was built by the tens of millions of citizens under their lead.
The nine great mega corporations, the nine great cultivation families, their creators, and the most powerful Deity Realm superhumans in Dragon City had firm control over the authority of Dragon City. Their hands stretched to all the businesses.
Meng Chao’s Superstar had received investments from the nine great mega corporations through Lu Siya and the others, which was why it could develop so swiftly.
After Superstar merged with Spirit Creations Creatures, they obtained numerous major deals that promised good money. It was all thanks to the abnormal beast research department’s connections and the help from the nine great mega corporations.
Meng Chao avoided mentioning that he had received a lot of help from powerful people while he improved at such a drastic pace.
But treating the act of riding on powerful people’s coattails the same as becoming the lapdog of monsters was a little hilarious.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and said, “Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, is there no difference between humans and monsters to you? We have a civilization, so you should belong to this civilization!”
“Civilization? Ha! Civilization!” Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s eyes went wide as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. Then, he spat out a mouthful of spit containing shredded flesh and smiled coldly. “This so-called civilization is just an illusion you gain after you’re full.
“As long as the fiercest tigers are full, they won’t kill the cows and lambs nearby. Meanwhile, the kindest human you know will turn into the fiercest robber after starving for three days and three nights. They will even turn their weapons on their own kin.
“Perhaps I am an irredeemable, wicked person in your eyes, but you have never seen and experienced true evil before. Tell me, have you ever seen a kind granny and an innocent tearing at each other like monsters and ripping each other’s throats apart for half a bottle of dirty rainwater?
“Have you ever seen a woman doing whatever a man wants for half a bun? Have you ever seen a man being willing to kill anyone for half a bun and a woman?
“Have you ever seen groups of starving people eating dirt to lie to their own stomachs because their minds have been overtaken by hunger and despair? In the end, they won’t be able to digest it, and their stomachs would bloat up and they would die. Some of them may even rip apart their stomachs from below their navels to stop the pain.
“Have you ever seen people from other settlements using napalm bombs to burn the survivors in another settlement because one zombie appeared in it? They would do anything from fear that the zombie virus would wreak havoc in their own settlement, you know?
“Have you ever seen normal people curling up underground because of hunger, pain, and the zombie virus? The shelters were like a vermin’s nest, and even when they cried, they had to grit their teeth, because they wouldn’t dare to let out a single sound. Meanwhile, the powerful gathered large amounts of resources together, but it’s not for the weak to survive. It’s all so that they can cultivate and continue improving as well as increase their own authority.
“Have you ever seen countless normal people reduced to mangled skeletons, while the powerful superhumans ignore their deaths and just keep monopolizing resources so that they can become stronger? In the end, they added another title to their authority and called themselves mega corporations. Ha! What a brilliant title! These powerful people then made themselves the creators of the Survival Committee and pretended that they’re oh-so-noble.”
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s voice was incredibly sinister and strange.
He was clearly standing in front of Meng Chao, and there was an entire set of ruins between them.
But his voice made it sound like he was whispering in Meng Chao’s ears.
His gaze also seemed to see through Meng Chao’s flesh and bones. He seemed to be staring at his brains, blood vessels, and nerves.
“You’re smart and young. You’re so young that you have never witnessed true evil, so you believe in justice and this so-called ‘civilization’,” Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang continued. “But if you were one of those people who lived through the bloody era when we had just transmigrated to the Other World and struggled through the age of viruses, zombies, broken order, and lawlessness, you’d have seen countless acts of true evil and an innumerable number of truly evil people turning into the ones controlling Dragon City today. Then, you would be just like me. You wouldn’t believe in all those morals, laws, justice, and civilization.
“Now, I only believe in one thing, and that’s strength.
“It’s when you have absolute power that you can say whatever you want and it will be treated as the truth. Evil can be disguised as justice. The merciless, cold-hearted gang leaders who monopolized resources in the past have now all turned into veteran politicians of the Survival Committee or VIP members of the Supernatural Tower.
“If anyone could help me gain more power, I would work with them for a time. If anyone were to stop me from becoming stronger, I would kill them. Just like that, I will kill, and I will become stronger. If I’m lucky and never die, perhaps there will come a day where I reach the supreme state above Deity Realm. At that time, perhaps the Supernatural Tower will remove my bounty, and the Survival Committee will even ask me to go back in a carriage and a fanfare so that I can kill monsters and defend human civilization. Haha! HAHAHAHA!”
He laughed in a slightly manic manner.
“And what if you’re unlucky and die today?”
Meng Chao slowly lifted Bloody Soul, which was bound to his arm.
“Then, at the very least, I would have died for myself, with complete control over my own fate!”
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s eyes shone with an incredibly violent light.
The Tiger Fang Saber shone with an extremely fierce saber glare.
The debris between them instantly shattered.
The rebars, metal needles, stones, and other sharp objects that formed the ruins were stuck between their spirit energy magnetic fields, and like bullets fired from a gun, they instantly filled up the entire space.
And at the moment the saber glare dazzled Meng Chao’s eyes, Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang disappeared from in front of him.
He was so fast that it looked like he had teleported in the dark.
The slash from the Tiger Fang Saber was a feint. He had moved his body behind Meng Chao and used the shadowless saber to launch a silent attack.
