Chapter 1779
1779 Ambush From All Sides
However, none of it could make Yun Feidian tremble.
“My old senior, are you sure you want to fight me here?”
A mocking smile appeared on Yun Feidian’s face. “I don’t care. I already have nothing, so I’m not afraid of losing anything.
“But in the eyes of the world, you are still a pillar of protection for Dragon City, a highly respected figure.
!!
“If we fight here, it will inevitably cause this entire underground space to shake or even collapse. When that happens, we’ll attract thousands of pursuers who will catch you and me in one fell swoop. I’m afraid that isn’t the ending you want to see, right?”
The gray-haired office worker had an expression of uncertainty.
He stared at the three pieces of super crystal bomb debris in midair, and his eyes suddenly beamed with surprise.
After rolling his eyes three times, he let out a low groan of annoyance. “No!”
“What are you trying to do?”
Yun Feidian snorted coldly, still on high alert.
However, when he followed the gray-haired office worker’s line of sight and carefully scanned the three super crystal bomb fragments, he discovered that the silvery-gray metal lumps were covered with interconnected cracks.
The spirit ripples from the two of them must have torn gaps in the fragments.
But that was impossible.
The three crystal bomb fragments had all been melted at thousands of degrees. They were equivalent to intact meteorites and would not be broken easily.
Yun Feidian and the gray-haired office worker had a delicate relationship. They feared each other, but they also needed each other.
In addition, they were afraid of attracting the attention of their pursuers on the ground, so they dared not use 100% of their strength.
Their clash earlier seemed powerful on the surface, but it was actually not destructive at all.
How was it possible for so many cracks to be left on the super crystal bomb fragments, which were as hard as iron?
Unless…
The gray-haired office worker and Yun Feidian’s pupils suddenly shrank to the size of four needle tips.
The two of them thought of a possibility that made their scalps tingle.
The three unrecognizable metal blocks had not been melted at a high temperature of several thousand degrees.
Instead, it was a fake that had been carefully processed and pieced together after the event!
The gray-haired office worker groaned. A strong wind that resembled an invisible tornado attacked the largest metal fragment.
Yun Feidian hesitated for a moment, but it was already too late. With a boom, the fragment shattered into thousands of pieces that scattered evenly in a ten-meter radius. However, the gray-haired office worker’s magnetic field locked onto them, and they floated one meter above the ground.
The office worker’s eyes were like red light bulbs, emanating a soul-stirring brilliance as he scanned all the fragments speedily.
He had indeed detected something that was carved with dense runes and similar-looking to the super crystal bomb fragments.
However, the crooked, worm-like runes had not been carved by him, and they were pitifully small in number.
“They’re fake… They’re actually fake.”
The gray-haired office worker was partially dazed and partially relieved. “I knew it. The super crystal bomb that I made would produce a ‘perfect explosion’ under any condition. There would never be so many fragments left!”
“What?!”
Yun Feidian’s focus was different from that of the gray-haired office worker.
He immediately realized that he had fallen into an unfathomably deep trap.
Before he could figure out all the details, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill behind him.
Yun Feidian’s muscles swelled and became as hard as iron.
However, he still could not resist the icy coldness, which pierced deep into his bones and stirred his marrow.
Yun Feidian narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, staring into the darkness behind him.
Then, a figure that was enshrouded in lightning and flames appeared in the shadows, gradually becoming extremely sharp and vivid. The figure’s armor of liquid metal was flowing slowly.
The figure, which had been repeatedly burned in Yun Feidian’s retinas, completely twisted his voice and face.
“Meng Chao!”
Yun Feidian howled like a trapped beast.
Meng Chao’s feet did not touch the dust. He floated in the air and stood quietly in front of Yun Feidian and the gray-haired office worker. The three of them formed a triangle.
“It’s all over, and it should be over.”
Meng Chao seemed to be talking to Yun Feidian, but his cold gaze was fixed on the gray-haired office worker.
Yun Feidian snorted coldly. His eyes darted around, as though he was trying to find an escape route in the dark underground cave.
“Why do you have to struggle on your deathbed and turn yourself from a formidable person to a joke by being afraid of death?”
Meng Chao sighed and said, “Since I’m here, it’s only natural that I’ve set up an inescapable net outside. You have nowhere to run or hide. No matter how many people you drag along to die with you, the result will be the same.”
Yun Feidian was silent.
Closing his eyes, he could seemingly hear footsteps and machines operating from all directions through the rock layer.
It was the sound of a large group of people and heavy equipment entering the underground space and locking down all the tunnels.
Yun Feidian knew that Meng Chao was not lying.
The moment he took the risk to snatch the super crystal bomb fragment, he was already defeated.
“You knew from the beginning that I didn’t escape Dragon City?”
Yun Feidian’s voice was hoarse, and his eyes were dim.
“That’s right. I knew that you’d never leave Dragon City, Senior Yun.”
Meng Chao said, “You promised the high-ranking members of the Blood Alliance that you’d prepare a secret hideout with complete facilities in the depths of Monster Mountain Range and that it’d be enough for them to hide for three to seven years.
“However, I sense that you’re someone who’s unwilling to be alone. Even if you had to be away from Dragon City for a year and a half, you’d still be worried about being left far behind by the tide of the times, much less three to five years.
“Besides, although Monster Mountain Range is huge, the Dragon City civilization’s search and explore technology is also developing rapidly. Who knows when they’ll dig up all of your secret strongholds? Such a life of sitting back and waiting for death in fear definitely isn’t the ending you want.
“On top of that, as a Deity Realm expert, you can manipulate your muscles and bones at any time to change your appearance. You can even change your height and weight flawlessly in the blink of an eye.
“In the past decades, both Thundercloud Technology and the Blood Alliance had countless resources, channels, and technologies. It was not difficult to make a few fake… no, one-hundred-percent authentic identification certificates.
“Since there’s no place better than a forest to hide a leaf…
“What place is more suitable than Dragon City to hide a criminal who has committed countless crimes but is unrecognizable? The people make up a population that numbers in the tens of millions.
“Last but not least, the Blood Alliance leaders, whose identities have been exposed, are no longer of any value. They’ve been completely abandoned. If you still intend to rise again, why would you travel with these abandoned people, Senior Yun?”
