Chapter 1932: Chapter 1932
After Ryle finished speaking, before Ren Xingtang could react, the people nearby who heard his words scrambled to kneel in Ryle’s direction, with no regard for their own dignity or pride!
"I kneel! I kneel! Spare me! I’ll do anything as long as I can live!"
"I’m also kneeling to you, please spare our lives!"
Pleas for mercy echoed around Ryle, but instead of making him happy, he found these voices unbearably harsh and noisy!
With a cold sideways glance, suddenly Ryle extended his hand swiftly, and thin tendrils grew out at a tremendous speed, surpassing everyone’s reaction limit, piercing through the bodies of everyone present!
In an instant, all sounds on site abruptly stopped, and everyone’s expressions were frozen in that moment—some sad, some crying, some fearful!
The sudden change in atmosphere left Ren Xingtang stunned, as he turned his head and looked around, unable to quickly grasp what had happened.
"What did you do?" he asked Ryle, who simply smiled, raised his hand lightly again, and in the next moment, strange changes began appearing on the bodies of everyone in front but Ren Xingtang.
One by one, black spots appeared on their faces, spreading outwards immediately upon appearance, in no time, everyone’s skin—except Ren Xingtang’s—had turned a grotesque black!
The blackened skin began to crack, and soon, everyone’s bodies shattered into piles of black sand, with the vibrant colors of Evolution Crystal Cores strikingly visible.
A fierce wind blew in through broken glass from the direction of the battlefield, scattering the black sand, leaving clothes worn by people in disarray on the ground.
Ren Xingtang was dumbfounded, glancing at the ashen remains of everyone, then at Ryle, wondering how many of those lost were people he cared about?
"Little Wu? Lan Shanliang? Kuang Hong? Old Zheng?..." he called out each familiar name, but there was no one left to respond besides him and Ryle, one person and one zombie.
After a few seconds, Ren Xingtang finally realized that all those who promised to do great things with him had perished in an instant! The damn Zombie King didn’t even give him a chance to speak! Just with a wave of a hand, so many people died!
"You!" Ren Xingtang turned sharply, losing his rationality just a moment before, but upon seeing Ryle again, years of experience handling situations made him quickly regain all his composure. The look in his eyes seemed as if he wished to tear Ryle to pieces, but he was powerless, and could only glare at this inhuman monster in front of him, as the nearly explosive rage inside him caused the veins on his forehead to bulge!
"What’s the matter?" Ryle continued smiling, disregarding Ren Xingtang’s furious expression, and said slowly, "This is an opportunity solely yours, you see, others do not have such a qualification, cherish it well. Whether to live or die, think it over clearly. Meeting my demands is very easy, just kneel, beg for mercy, and that’s it."
Ryle looked at Ren Xingtang as if he were looking at an ant, suggesting that regardless of what Ren Xingtang was thinking, human fear of death would easily lead to choosing between dying and continuing to live. Only someone like Iron Head Qing would choose the former.
Ren Xingtang’s chest heaved up and down uncontrollably, as no one knew his internal screams seemed about to burst through his skull. At this moment, he so desperately wanted to lose all reason and slash at the zombie in front of him!
But...he couldn’t do it...reason told him that doing so would undoubtedly be stupid!
Only by living can one think about what to do and how to do it; if dead, nothing remains. The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
The feeling of powerlessness left him with nothing but clenching his fists tightly, nails nearly digging into his flesh!
He neither knelt nor begged for mercy. Even now, he still held some hope for the Endless Journey commanded by the young boy. What if...what if he could defeat a Level 9 Powerhouse?
Though it seemed impossible, the battle was not yet over!
Holding onto such a slim hope, Ren Xingtang turned his head, looking at the chaos in the distant battlefield.
The fallen mech, reignited by the fiery spirit of the young boy, stood up once more. Seemingly to encourage himself, he looked at the distant Chen Chaoyang and shouted angrily in his heart, "Is this all you got?"
He extended the only functioning mechanized arm left, the dark green light on the steel body began to shine, the brightness rapidly converged towards the chest area. As the dark green energy flowed to the mech’s chest, becoming dazzling, he roared, shooting a thick laser toward Chen Chaoyang’s direction!
The dark green laser seemed to tear through space, akin to a giant dragon, hurtling with blazing temperature ferociously at the opponent!
However, Chen Chaoyang simply leaped, and the thick dark green laser beam missed its target, striking heavily on the ground!
In an instant, the surrounding mass of zombies and the sand and stones on the ground melted away instantly!
"Die!" Seeing Chen Chaoyang evade, the young boy controlled the mech’s body to jerk upwards fiercely! The thick laser abruptly followed, thrusting upwards!
But the once-unfailing laser beam still shot into emptiness; Chen Chaoyang, already airborne, upon seeing his move, seemed to create wind beneath his feet, appearing instantaneously in front of the young boy, claws formed by bending his five fingers and striking towards the mech’s eye area. The startled young boy could only forcefully lift the remaining arm to block!
When the two sides collided, the mech’s arm armor was torn off by Chen Chaoyang, revealing the complex device structure inside!
"Trash." Chen Chaoyang sneered, and then a tentacle sprouted from his back. Before the young boy could react, the tentacle from Chen Chaoyang’s body had already wrapped around the entire mech arm, the barbs easily pierced into the steel armor! And then twisted forcefully!
The sturdy armor creaked under the overwhelming force, electricity sparked fiercely in sight, and after just a short time, the mech’s remaining usable arm was twisted into a pretzel and rendered completely useless!
Immediately, Chen Chaoyang tugged his tentacle backward, and the next second, the colossal body of the Endless Journey, standing over twenty meters tall, leaned forward, staggering a few steps before the already twisted mech arm was yanked off with a "crack," the massive laser erupting from the chest whirled between the sky and earth, and when the laser petered out, the mech controlled by the young boy seemed to lose all its strength, collapsing to its knees, kicking up a cloud of dust!
