Chapter 137 - Last Resort? Are You Kidding Me?
“I never thought a true dragon like you could emerge from Min Province.” Song Lingfeng’s expression was cold and pointed.
A harrowing glint sparkled in his eyes, the kind of glint that suggested extreme ill will and hostility.
“It’s you who has been underestimating the people of the world. People like you claim that you have the fate of the world in your hands, but you yourselves end up being little more than the pawns of others,” Lu Xuan said plainly.
Song Lingfeng’s pupils contracted somewhat. He kept feeling that Lu Xuan knew something, and what the young man said seemed to mean something more than what was clear on the surface.
Song Lingfeng had no idea that Lu Xuan knew all there was to know about the people around him. Every single person in those giant corporations had monsters standing behind them.
However, years of development had enabled them to exceed what those monsters expected them to achieve in the first place, and the monsters behind the veil were no longer able to keep them under their control.
Some people began to develop their own agendas as time went by, intending to rise above their stations as pawns and assume command of their organizations or otherwise gain power. However, Lu Xuan knew better than anyone that such attempts would ultimately prove futile.
Dust and debris flew all over the place. The shockwaves from the explosions were so intense that many who were unable to flee in time were sent flying by the terrifying waves of air.
While all of those present were truly powerful beings, some of them were still just young people at HuaJin level. Those people were even more like mortals than the others. The terror brought forth by a barrage of rockets was so intense that they were unable to react in time, and they all ended up being sent flying through the air.
The battlefield turned into a huge mess right away. It was fortunate that the representatives of the corporation had not been crazy enough to bomb all the spectators along with the two fighters.
Otherwise, that one attack would have caused massive casualties.
What the clan did had nonetheless earned the ire of the crowd. They cursed vehemently at the corporation and the Song Clan, thinking that they must have gone mad.
Those people had actually dared to use weapons of such power within their country, which, unlike some overseas places run by warlords, was ruled with an iron fist.
Thus, it was easy to tell just how much the Song Clan feared Lu Xuan. They had to get rid of him, even if they had to resort to such restricted means to do so.
“Hahahahaha!” A man was seen rising slowly from the spot that had just been bombarded. He sounded very pleased with himself. “Lu Xuan, you are one hell of a cultivator. But what good did any of it do? You’re dead all the same, now!”
The crowd focused their gaze and realized that the man was none other than Song Lingfeng.
He was actually able to come out alive from that crazy attack! A ring on his finger had shattered. That ring was a defensive power item, and the barrier erected by the ring was how he’d managed to stay alive amidst the incredible barrage.
But even the powerful ring was shattered after taking on such a heavy attack.
Song Lingfeng’s eyes looked rather manic. That ring had been the last resort he’d put in place just in case, but he never actually thought he would ever have to use it.
Over a dozen customized helicopters were flying quickly to his location.
“The fight is over, Mr. Lu. You’re too careless!”
Lin Sheng’s eyes filled with sadness as he looked on from the crowd. He was only now realizing just how despicable those people at the huge corporations actually were. They would really go to any lengths just to win.
Many thought that while Lu Xuan was indeed powerful, he was nonetheless still too young, and he must have neglected to prepare adequately for such a situation.
At that point, everyone thought the event was indeed over, and they had a winner.
Suddenly, a flash of the blade tore apart the dusty aftermath of the explosions and plunged straight into Song Lingfeng’s throat.
“Wha…?!”
Song Lingfeng’s eyes were thrown wide open as his body hit the ground.
