Chapter 1899 Gu Shaoyu
Chapter 1899 Gu Shaoyu
"The tyrant has been exterminated!"
Shaoyu[1]'s face was twitching non-stop. He was overjoyed and in disbelief.
However, at the next second, both of expressions froze on his face, and they combined into the shape of fear.
He noticed that the organs that were gushing out of Meng Chao's incomplete cavity were not affected by gravity when they shot up into the air. They scattered in all directions like flowers.
However, they were strangely frozen in mid-air, like a bloody modern art installation...
No, it was not just Meng Chao's organs that were frozen.
Everything that Shaoyu could see was frozen too.
The burning sun in midair, the horrified workers, and the visible spirit ripples that were blown away by the blast, everything that should have been screaming, spinning, splashing, breaking, and exploding, were all frozen in midair. They violated all the laws of physics.
It was as if they were not the ones frozen, but the entire space, the entire world!
Shaoyu felt suffocated amid the still air, and his heart sank inch by inch.
He realized that everything he saw was an illusion.
Before he detonated the space bomb, Meng Chao's power had already infiltrated his visual nerves and even his entire brain through his retina. No one noticed that Meng Chao had taken over his mind.
Shaoyu let out a howl that made him sound like a wild beast that had fallen in a trap.
The howl tore apart the illusion, and he returned to the real world.
He heard the deafening explosions again and sensed the blast raised by the raging flames of spirit energy blowing on his face like a tsunami. He was stunned when he saw all this.
The "tyrant," who had lost the upper half of his body and had his internal organs gushing out, disappeared.
The tyrant now stood in the air with his feet off the ground. His limbs, as well as torso, were intact, and not even a single hair had fallen off. He placed his hands behind his back and stared at Shaoyu with deep eyes.
Shaoyu could sense Meng Chao's burning rage.
The tyrant's anger even overshadowed the impact of the armored airship's explosion. Like unstoppable lava, it was about to swallow Shaoyu completely.
Shaoyu trembled deeply at first and felt that his soul was about to be sucked into the tyrant's eyes. Meng Chao was filled with lightning and thunder, like an endless abyss.
Then, when he saw the scene behind the tyrant, he smiled as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
Even though they had made such thorough arrangements and activated more than a dozen chess pieces that had been lying in wait for a long time, they still could not kill the tyrant.
However, this earth-shattering assassination was not a complete failure.
After all, his sudden attack had greatly exceeded the tyrant's expectations.
The tyrant managed to invade his mind at a critical moment and interfere with the direction in which he threw the space bomb, and luckily, he survived.
However, they could not stop the consecutive explosions of the armored airships at the same time. The destructive power that was rapidly released was completely out of control, and it spread in all directions.
Therefore, in just half a second, the small sun, which was dozens of meters in diameter, expanded to hundreds of meters and flooded the entire hangar.
The superhumans who were caught off guard were all burned to a pulp.
The civil servants whose abilities were weak and whose spirit shields were weak were incinerated on the spot. They were blown away from the tarmac by the raging blast, and they fell into the tall buildings that were as deep as an abyss...
No, it was far more than that.
Shaoyu and the organization behind him had prepared a lot of highly viscous fuel that was comparable to napalm when they planned the assassination.
Once the tyrant was unable to control the explosion's range and intensity, the viscous fuel that had been loaded in the armored airship flowed all the way to the inner walls of Superstar Company's courtyard. It traveled through the hole that had been blown up in the middle of the tarmac, which formed a "chimney effect."
The raging flames engulfed the top dozens of floors of the super building in an instant and continued to flow downward like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain.
Shaoyu saw the thick black smoke rising from the top of Superstar Company's headquarters like a ferocious demon. It kept expanding, splitting, entangling, colliding, tearing, and dancing in the sky.
Flames soared into the sky, and black smoke filled the air. The tens of millions of eyes in the entire Dragon City could see everything clearly.
In that case, everyone should know that the tyrant who stood above Superstar Company's headquarters was not an invincible existence who had never missed a plan, as he boasted. He was not a god who was qualified to stand above the entire Dragon City civilization or even the entire Other World and could only be worshipped and obeyed without any rebuttal!
Thinking of this, Shaoyu smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Taking a deep breath, the fear and regret were swept away. For the first time in ten years, Shaoyu held his head high and looked straight at the tyrant without dodging.
"Why?"
Meng Chao noticed Shaoyu's change from the depths of his soul.
In just a few seconds, his right-hand man had changed from a "successor" to a "regicide."
He could not tell which matter had gone out of control that made Meng Chao feel more furious and uneasy. Was it the enemy's unexpected assassination, the serious attack on the Superstar Company's headquarters, or Shaoyu's madness and audacity?
As an existence that surpassed the Deity Realm, the information he could sense was far more than Shaoyu.
For example, he had calculated that the casualties of the staff on the tarmac, who were also his most trusted and reliable subordinates, had exceeded 20% in the first round of explosions.
The highly viscous fuel flowed into the entire building along the central courtyard. The fire that was caused by it might not be completely extinguished even after a day and a night.
Let's not talk about how much direct losses Superstar Company would suffer.
Just this matter alone would shake his prestige and greatly slow down his pace of conquering the other world. As a result, there would be uncertainty.
The consequences were so severe that Meng Chao did not even have the time to grit his teeth and fly into a rage.
He just wanted to know what the problem was.
"My surname is Gu."
When faced with Meng Chao's questioning, Shaoyu did not have any intention of hiding anything. The corners of his lips curled up into an extremely brilliant smile, and he said openly, "One of the nine great cultivation aristocratic families, the Gu family that once controlled Heaven Pharmaceuticals, that 'Gu!'"
"I see."
Meng Chao understood.
"I thought that I had already exterminated all of you. I didn't expect your fertility and vitality to be so tenacious. You're like cockroaches and rats hiding in the gutter!"
[1] Shao Yu has been changed to Shaoyu in light that his full name is Gu Shaoyu.
