Chapter 524: Judgment from the Apocalypse
There was no time to do anything. Once Meng Chao got so close to him, even if the extraordinary beings from the Other World descended, they would be unable to stop the God of Death’s scythe from cutting his throat.
This time, Meng Chao did not choose to use the shadowless saber and quickly cut his neck artery, cervical spine, and spinal nerves to take him down instantly and painlessly.
Instead, he used rampaging spirit energy to straighten the shadowless blade and stabbed his heart.
Wan Zhuiyun was not wearing any motorized armor.
But even if he had worn three layers of motorized armor and a reactive armor that was usually placed in front of main battle tanks, he would still be unable to take Meng Chao’s furious slash.
While the scream of pain was still bubbling in Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun’s voicebox, Meng Chao struck with his elbow. He moved like a howling morning star and crushed the man’s throat, voice box, and cervical spine.
The “tsunami” from Wan Zhuiyun instantly turned into a moaning “stream”.
His throat caved in, and his head swung to the side at an unnatural angle. But due to the superhumans’ great vitality, he did not die immediately.
He got stuck at the gates of hell and received the most brutal judgment, delivered to him by Meng Chao.
Meng Chao spread his fingers open, and flames lit up on their tips. The fingers dug into Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun’s face like burning iron as Meng Chao pinned him down on the ground.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Under Meng Chao’s rampaging, monstrous strength, the bones in Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun’s face were instantly shattered.
The sharp bones pierced his flesh and nerves, causing him so much pain that he started spasming violently like a flayed bullfrog.
His eyes bulged out from between Meng Chao’s fingers as he stared at his crazy opponent in shock… No, he should say that he was looking at his adjudicator.
Meng Chao placed his knee against the criminal’s chest.
His spirit energy gushed out like a volcano and blasted the man’s lungs, making it impossible for him to release even a fragment of a “tsunami”.
Then, Meng Chao used his left hand to slowly remove the skeleton mask so Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun could see his face clearly.
“Meng Chao…” Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun was stunned. He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs, but even his most pained moans were suppressed in his throat. He could only swallow them.
With his protruding eyeballs, he saw Meng Chao’s face as well as a shadowless blade that stabbed into his heart.
He recognized the weapon. It was Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s saber.
It was only then that he found out what had happened to Gao Yang when he disappeared after the explosion.
Wan Zhuiyun was terrified, but it was too late for regrets.
Before he could beg for mercy, ten thousand supernovas had already exploded in Meng Chao’s eyes.
Meng Chao compressed the terrifying scene of the apocalypse’s descent into a Fear Bomb and injected it into Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun’s brain by having his brain waves blast his head.
During the seven seconds he crushed Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun’s brain inch by inch, Meng Chao believed that he had already let this criminal see the most terrifying sight in the Other World.
“How ruthless…”
A’Ji caught up while gasping for air and saw the bloody scene. Meng Chao’s crazed appearance made him shudder. The young superhuman was now shrouded in an unfathomable and mysterious light from his eyes.
Gunshots suddenly came from the smoke ahead of them.
“Let’s go!” Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and pulled the skeleton mask over his helmet again. “The enemy has found Ms. Mulian!”
The tear gas ahead of them became thicker. They could not see where the medical tent and Ms. Mulian were.
However, as the gunshots became denser, they soon found three captors in motorized armor and a large number of Leprosy Village villagers surrounding one person.
“You’re wrong! We’re not criminals!”
“Don’t shoot! There are children inside!”
“We’re innocent!”
“Are you mad?!”
The villagers still thought that the “captors” were law enforcers and were slaughtering people just to capture criminals. They raised their hands and defended themselves in despair.
They didn’t understand that those men were not who they appeared to be. They were malicious lost people and wanted criminals. Their mission was to intensify the conflict between Leprosy Village and the world outside, so it was only par for the course that they ignored the villagers’ pleas and continued shooting while cackling.
After a large group of people was shot down, someone finally grasped the situation.
A few powerful villagers who were built like bears shouted and swung rebars attached to reinforced concrete as if they were swinging morningstars. They charged at the “captors”.
But their bodies were deformed. They could not possibly fight against armed and trained superhumans. Their vain resistance only gave the other party the excuse to increase their firepower.
When the villagers started falling like weeds beneath a lawnmower and all the innocent villagers were about to be slaughtered, Meng Chao forgot about the pain and tearing of the wound on his chest. His spirit energy filled the blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians in his legs and feet like the purest and most violent crystal fuel. Then, it turned into two brilliant fireballs and gushed out from under his feet.
He increased his speed to the max and raised his saber with both hands. His grip was so strong that he nearly crushed the hilt.
He did not hold the light shadowless saber.
Instead, he held Bloody Soul, the saber embedded with the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow he had won with his life on the line and which was created with the bones of Apocalyptic Beasts.
Whoosh!
His spirit energy gushed into the crystal marrow like a furious beast.
The crystal marrow, which served as the spine of the blade, immediately shone brightly and released hot, blood-red flames that surrounded the entire saber like endlessly elongating blood vessels and nerves.
In an instant, Bloody Soul entered its second form. It became sharper, fiercer, and more brutal. It was now like an Apocalyptic Beast that had its mouth, which was lined with sharp teeth, wide open.
The three former Reaper Squad members pretending to be law enforcers had actually heard the heavy and swift footsteps behind them, but they had also heard the sound of crystal engines roaring as well as the sound of gears and axes turning.
Each motorized armor model’s crystal engines and gears made a slightly different sound.
The “captors” believed that a companion had arrived to provide reinforcements because he learned that they had found their target after hearing the gunshots.
Yet the next moment, Meng Chao’s legs slammed into the ground like rocket projectiles, and he increased his speed to the max.
Bloody Soul released a roar that sounded like it wanted to slay dragons.
The thick killing intent was like a tidal wave that descended on the three former Reaper Squad members.
It was only then that they shuddered in fear and realized that the situation was off.
But at that moment, Meng Chao had already crashed into the first former Reaper Member member like a burning, out-of-control freight train.
He took the initiative to ram into one “captor”‘s back. The explosive strength came out like water gushing out of a dam and sent the former Reaper Squad member flying right into another Reaper Squad member.
“DIE!”
Meng Chao’s eyes were bloodshot and he chased after them without losing his momentum. The flame-shrouded Bloody Soul drew an arc that could cut through everything, and with an unstoppable momentum, he cut into the waist gaps of the two former Reaper Squad members’ motorized armor.
Shiiiiiccckkkkkkk!
His blood turned into spirit flames and surrounded the blade before instantly charging into his enemies’ waists. They pushed forward until they reached an area near their spines and burned their organs to a crisp.
Meng Chao roared and ignored the fact that his wounds had reopened. He gathered all his spirit energy into Bloody Soul and even ignored the fact that the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow had started cracking on the back of the saber. The burning saber glare cut through the two former Reaper Squad members and sliced them in half!
Their upper bodies flew into the air before they landed on the ground. The “captors” felt their world spin, and when they finally focused their gaze, they saw their trembling lower bodies. Then, they looked at each other and saw that they had been cut in half at the waist. Their gazes full of shock then shifted to the crazed Meng Chao.
The two former “Reapers” could not believe that they would fail miserably at such an easy task and die after having once escaped from Apocalyptic Beasts’ mouths. They died… under the saber of a human who was even more terrifying than Apocalyptic Beasts!
Meng Chao stopped looking at the two dead people. While he was still burning with murderous rage, he looked at the third “Reaper”.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!
He fired all of the ammunition in the motorized armor on the third “Reaper”.
Of course, even if he targeted the vitals, he did not expect that the bullets and rocket projectiles could pierce that person’s defences.
Hence, at the moment he finished up all his ammunition, he pounced on the third “Reaper” like a hungry tiger.
He also activated the emergency break off function in the motorized armor while he was in midair.
The armor on his back swiftly opened, and Meng Chao was released from within it. He quietly moved under the armor.
That way, the one that pounced on the third “Reaper” was an empty motorized armor.
No, it was not empty. Meng Chao had stuffed it full with hand grenades that he had looted from his previous enemies!
During the concentrated onslaught of bullets, he might not have injured the third “Reaper”, but he had severely affected his camera and scanner, so his ability to sense his surroundings and read the data around him had plummeted.
All the other person could see was smoke and flames. The data he saw on his screen kept fluctuating and streamed down like a waterfall. A number of equipment started showing warning signs, and he could not handle them. Hence, he did not notice Meng Chao’s trick.
So, when the third former “Reaper” shouted and drew his saber to cut down the “enemy” who jumped at him, what he cut was just a motorized armor stuffed full with hand grenades.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Dozens of fireballs instantly engulfed this “Reaper”.
At the same time the shockwave sent him flying, Meng Chao moved behind him.
Bloody Soul had just cut two waists in half, and it looked like it was hungry for more blood. It eagerly dug into the third “Reaper”‘s body and bit through his waist and spine. It also pinned the former “Reaper” to the ground.
Meng Chao could not be bothered to pull his saber out nor remove the person’s helmet.
He bound the chains around his right arm and it swelled up to the point that the chains were letting out cracking sounds.
His fighting spirit gushed out of his pores like magma, burning the chains to the point that they turned a deep shade of red. The runic symbols on them released a bloodthirsty presence.
Boom!
Meng Chao punched the former “Reaper”‘s helmet.
The helmet with a white skeleton spray painted on it caved in like paper.
The third “Reaper”‘s frontal bone, nasal bones, cheekbones, mandibles, and teeth all changed shape, cracked, and were crushed while he screamed.
As for Meng Chao, since he used too much strength, the wound near his heart tore open again, and hot blood gushed out.
He frowned a little and spat a mouthful of blood at the former “Reaper”‘s crushed helmet.
Then, he took his emergency kit and brought out the emergency suturing tool that was shaped like a stapler.
He pressed it against his chest around eight times at random spots around the wound.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
He then tossed aside the stapler and brought his chain-bound fist up a second time. Then, he used all his strength to throw a punch. The force behind it was as strong as that behind a pile driver.
Crack!
With just one punch, he reduced the third former “Reaper”‘s head and helmet to a pulp.
