Chapter 1118: Chapter 162: Tyrant of the Demon World
The wind swept up the cold air from the ground.
On the cliff, the white hair that draped above the ice slowly dragged along, and Lizi walked expressionlessly to stand in front of Elder Qu… At this moment, the body of Elder Qu was already covered with a layer of frost.
Lizi extended her finger, and with a sharp nail, she lightly tapped on Elder Qu’s body—the ice sculpture before her eyes shattered into pieces and scattered away with the wind instantly.
Afterward, a look of pain gradually appeared on Lizi’s face, and a streak of crimson blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She clutched her body tightly and fell to the ground.
After emitting a few sounds of painful moaning, her white hair slowly retracted bit by bit… She slowly returned to her original appearance.
Lizi staggered to her feet rather clumsily and came to the edge of the cliff, peering downward, only to see dense fog swirling below, concealing everything from view.
She remembered there had been another man in black who also jumped off the cliff, but he still hadn’t e up yet.
Hesitating for a moment, Lizi ultimately chose to leap down… Her body plummeted through the fog at an incredibly fast speed, and just as she was about to reach the ground, she suddenly froze in place.
Not for anything else, but because she saw Ren Ziling!
At this moment, Ren Ziling’s body was hanging from the branch of a large tree. Once Lizi hit the ground, she immediately leaped up and grabbed Ren Ziling from the tree.
Besides the clothes which were torn at several places, Lizi miraculously found that Ren Ziling didn’t have a single scratch on her body.
Her breathing was still calm.
Lizi opened her mouth, glanced upward at the ancient trees overhead, and exclaimed, “Ah, so the law of not dying from a fall off a cliff is true!”
Despite the bewilderment, there seemed to be nothing happier than Ren Ziling’s safe descent.
But Lizi didn’t find any sign of the man in black who had jumped down… This truly left her puzzled without an explanation.
Nevertheless, having survived this ordeal seemed pretty good… This battle had almost drained all of Lizi’s demonic power. Without thinking about anything else, she just carried Ren Ziling on her back and began to explore a way out of this place.
The Snow Elves acpanied by Akiko were not far from her position—Lizi didn’t sense any unrest from the Snow Elves, so Akiko should also be safe.
After Lizi left, a black mist emerged silently from below the tree and drifted away quietly.
…
The two men in black arrived at the position of the cliff.
They had followed the signals left by the Management Bureau’s men and Elder Qu to reach here. But upon arriving, they only saw a corpse, frozen into an ice sculpture—the Management Bureau’s man was all that remained.
And he was clearly dead.
“What exactly happened here…” One of the men in black murmured, feeling the ground.
He tried to pick up some ice, but to his surprise, he couldn’t crack open the ice on the ground.
“Earlier, there was an extremely powerful burst of demonic power, but it was only for an instant,” the other man in black frowned and said, “This is strange, we need to notify the superior immediately…”
Just then, a loud sound suddenly echoed from within the dense mist—along with it came a slight tremor of the ground!
It was ing from the place where the Soul Orb was being refined!
“Something’s gone wrong!”
“Hurry back!”
…
…
This was something Bu Bugao could never have expected.
On the ground, tens of thousands of people were marching like they were possessed, heading step by step toward the man-devouring chasm—Bu Bugao didn’t know what was in the chasm, but obviously, these people’s lives were gone the moment they jumped.
He and Wang Hu had chased all the way here.
The traces left by tens of thousands of people walking from the stadium were evident enough for even amateurs to track down, not to mention he was a trained, formally appointed entry level agent of the Management Bureau.
People were dying at a rate of dozens per second, leaving no time for Bu Bugao to hesitate or think.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!! I can’t believe I encountered such a grand scene on my first mission! I truly am destiny’s chosen man!!!” Bu Bugao shouted madly as he charged forward, “What demons dare to harm life here, e out!!”
Wang Hu opened his mouth, but he didn’t manage to stop Bu Bugao from charging out.
“Demon, e out!!!”
While raising the gun in his hand, Bu Bugao pulled the trigger several times in a row, and the loud gunshots echoed far across this barren land.
At that moment, several figures rushed in from all directions, appearing right in front of Bu Bugao in an instant… Dressed in black with bronze masks, each exuded a formidable aura of killing intent.
Bu Bugao quickly pointed his gun at the men in black and shakily pulled out his credentials from his clothes, “Don’t, don’t move!!! Management Bureau!!! Don’t move!! Don’t move!!”
“Kid, your credentials are upside down.” One of the men in black said in a cold voice.
“I know!! I was just testing if you could recognize them!!” Bu Bugao swiftly turned his credentials the right way, “Don’t move!! Nobody move!! Whoever you are and whatever you want to do, stop right now!!”
The man in black who had spoken first suddenly turned his head and said calmly, “You Wen, are all the newers in your bureau this jittery?”
“A rookie, I assume.” A man in a black suit holding a bell slowly stepped out of the crowd, “Recently, many government figures have been on state visits, which has drawn much manpower. There needs to be someone on guard in each place across the country, and given the disaster’s wide range, manpower is scarce, so fielding some newers to the battlefront is quite normal.”
“Is that so, then I’ll leave it to you.” The man in black nodded and waved his hand, and the others in black then disappeared, heading directly to the edge of the sky hole—this panicked rookie from the Management Bureau posed no threat to them, and they had no time to deal with him, given the critical moment of refinement.
With the men in black gone, Bu Bugao didn’t have time to react—now, only the man named You Wen remained.
Seeing the attire similar to his own, the thirty-something You Wen made Bu Bugao a bit confused for a moment.
“What’s your name, when did you graduate, from which academy, and what’s your ID number?” You Wen… with a slight smile, walked slowly towards Bu Bugao.
“Don’t, don’t move!! Are you part of their group?” Bu Bugao pointed the gun at him, struggling to keep it steady.
You Wen gently pressed his hands down repeatedly, quietly saying, “Relax, I won’t do anything to you. After all, taking care of newers is the duty of senior members.”
He continued walking towards Bu Bugao.
But just after a few steps, a bullet landed at his feet—Bu Bugao had chosen to shoot at that moment.
“I told you not to move! Can’t you hear me?!!” Bu Bugao was sweating profusely, looking around.
But in the blink of an eye, You Wen disappeared, shocking Bu Bugao—before he could react, a sharp pain hit his abdomen, making him bend over instantly!
“That’s why I told you to relax a bit.”
Bu Bugao was in excruciating pain, and not only that, You Wen quickly snatched his service pistol, dismantled it effortlessly, and scattered its ponents all over the ground.
You Wen stepped on Bu Bugao’s shoulder and calmly said, “You’re quite brave. The Management Bureau needs fresh blood like you… but you came at the wrong time.”
“What… exactly are you trying to do?”
As he spoke, a metallic taste rushed from his throat; Bu Bugao didn’t expect this guy’s punch to be so damaging!
“Even if you knew, there’s nothing you could do about it, so it’s better not to know.” You Wen grabbed Bu Bugao’s hair and dragged him toward the edge of the sky hole.
Unexpectantly, Bu Bugao gritted his teeth, reached behind his waist, pulled out a metal rod, and swung it with all his might. The rod instantly extended section by section, and he swung it at You Wen.
The swing made You Wen let go, and Bu Bugao quickly gathered his strength in his palms, propped himself up, and leaped backward to distance himself from You Wen.
“Demon-Subduing Whip?” You Wen sneered, then a surge of energy made his body expand instantly.
His robust body tore through his clothes, revealing terrifying muscles… patches of earth-yellow fur began to grow wildly on his body.
His head gradually became unrecognizable as human, his hands transformed into huge claws.
In front of him was a gigantic black tiger!
The black demon tiger twisted its neck, “This form is more fortable; working in the Management Bureau, wearing human skin every day, feels like my bones are falling apart.”
“You’re… a tiger monster?!” You Wen widened his eyes.
He wasn’t unaware that some non-humans were among the agents in the Management Bureau… but typically, these non-humans were advanced agents stationed in high-danger areas across the country.
“Strange, isn’t it.” You Wen coldly smiled, “Kid, as I said, the elders take good care of the newbies… let me take good care of you!”
Bu Bugao felt a chilling fear spreading through his body, his eyes darting around rapidly—this tiger monster is from the Management Bureau, a disturbing thought suddenly alarmed him!
Is the Management Bureau infiltrated by others like You Wen… What’s behind all this, hidden within the bureau?
However, before Bu Bugao could dwell on it, the tiger monster You Wen launched his attack.
In front of the demonized You Wen, Bu Bugao, who was born an ordinary person, found his martial arts were ineffective… and the pistol that could fire Talisman Bullets was disassembled by You Wen long ago.
“You’re really a newbie, it seems. You’re not even trained in any Taoist sects or among the demons.” The tiger monster You Wen sneered, “Promoted within the system, a pure newbie, huh? First mission? Seems like you hit the jackpot, encountering such a situation on your first outing.”
The tiger monster’s fist once again easily struck Bu Bugao’s shoulder—this punch made Bu Bugao feel as if his shoulder bone had cracked.
Bu Bugao collapsed onto the ground like a pile of mud.
“I won’t waste time with you, down you go!” The tiger monster swiftly grabbed Bu Bugao, intending to throw him into the sky hole.
However, the collapsed Bu Bugao unexpectedly straightened his back, pulled something out from his belt, and threw it wildly—a bead the size of a longan.
The tiger monster You Wen saw the bead ing, his face changed slightly, but it was too late to dodge!
Bang—!!!
A loud explosion followed by a violent blast—the explosion gouged a deep pit several meters wide into the ground, and the swirling dust even spread to the edge of the sky hole.
Bu Bugao spat out blood, and blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose… the sound waves from the explosion caused bleeding from his orifices.
“Kid, you have guts!!!”
Amidst the swirling smoke, the roar of a tiger echoed! Instantly, the black tiger monster charged out, its arms now torn and tattered, its expression ferocious and frightening.
“Damn it!! Even this can’t kill you!! The weapons department screwed me over!!” Seeing You Wen charging again, Bu Bugao closed his eyes in despair.
But at that moment, a louder, more domineering roar suddenly erupted behind him.
Bu Bugao instinctively opened his eyes.
He couldn’t see what had happened moments before—he only witnessed what occurred in that instant!
The tiger monster, which even the special Thunder Fire couldn’t kill, had its entire chest caved in, retreating dozens of steps before barely ing to a stop.
Beside Bu Bugao, Wang Hu was in a side-kick position… slowly withdrawing his leg.
Holy crap! This big guy is actually so fierce!!
Bu Bugao widened his eyes, incredulously looking at this guy they had randomly pulled from the street!
Damn it! Wang Hu, from today onward, I’m a fan of yours!!
At this moment, the black tiger monster You Wen, who had barely stopped, took a deep breath but couldn’t withstand the terrifying force invading his body and spat out another mouthful of blood.
It opened its eyes wide, seemingly in disbelief, “You… how… here… King…”
You Wen didn’t finish his sentence before collapsing to the ground.
At this moment, at the sky hole’s edge, the remaining Men in Black realized something was wrong and ceased their Soul Orb refining——when they gathered, upon seeing Wang Hu, they were all silently startled.
Why would this kingpin of the demon world appear at such a critical place?
“Old Wang!! Didn’t expect you to be so fierce!!” Bu Bugao clung to Wang Hu’s leg, pulling himself up with the pant leg, “When we get back, I’ll definitely remend a medal for you!!”
Wang Hu frowned at this moment, shook his head, and said, “Did I kill it? I don’t even know what’s going on. After it shouted, I just felt like killing it.”
“Huh?”
Wang Hu shook his head. This feeling seemed inprehensible to others… he looked at the Men in Black, frowning, “Whatever you are doing, you better stop. This is not good!”
“Not good?” The Men in Black acted as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, “To you, human life is cheap, yet you sympathize with these people?”
“What’s the problem?” Wang Hu retorted, “Lizi told me not to mess around?”
“Lizi…??”
