Chapter 580: 580

Chapter 580: Cut in Half!

In a daze, the three gang members saw something unbelievable in the neverending darkness.

A burning red saber seemed to have descended from the sky. It left incredibly dazzling sparks and electrical arcs behind it as it charged over like lightning.

In an instant, it moved past them and swung up, performing a nearly perfect arc that had an incline of forty-five degrees. It dug into the area under the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s head.

The red saber and Demonic Black Mountain Bull were moving at extreme speeds, so it looked like two high-speed trains had collided.

But one of the trains suddenly became shorter and went under the other.

The first train naturally flew up and was thrown off its original trajectory. It also lost the platform on which it had gone forward.

Due to the inertia from dozens of tons moving at high speeds, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull continued forward without stopping.

And the red saber that had swung up now swung down. It cut into the neck and went down, slicing the monster’s stomach until it reached the thighs.

The red saber was full of spirit energy and activated crystals. After the change in the atomic electron shell of the metal, the saber turned into its second form and became a blade that was nearly three meters long.

Spirit flames, which were thousands of degrees Celsius hot, gushed out and made it longer by another three meters.

The Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s organs were wrecked by the blade and flames. Its wound stretched from its stomach to its spine and all the nerve bundles between its vertebrae were cut.

No matter how strong the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s vitality was, it could not withstand an attack that cut its stomach and sliced apart its body.

When it was half a meter away from the three gang members, it finally came to a stuttering halt.

It looked down a little, and puzzlement shone in its red, beady eyes.

It was trying to check the wound on its abdomen.

But once it lowered its head, it no longer had the strength to look up.

There was only a rustle when the explosive strength hidden in the blade mixed with the pressure that had been accumulating in its abdominal cavity. Suddenly, the wound stretching from the bull’s neck to abdomen exploded.

It was like a whale which had lain on a beach for a few days. Its organs had rotted and become overly swollen, which resulted in an explosion .

The Demonic Black Mountain Bull let out its final wail and slowly curled up into a ball, then breathed its last.

Its hot blood had sprayed on the three gang members’ faces, and its incredibly foul breath caused them to shudder. It took them a moment to regain their senses.

Right then, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s head started trembling again.

Even its eyes started moving slowly.

The three gang members shuddered simultaneously. They were worried that the Demonic Black Mountain Bull was not really dead yet and about to launch a last, desperate attack.

Then, they heard a sizzle, and a red saber with brilliant crystals in it suddenly shot out from above the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s red eyes.

Spirit flames gushed out like a volcano eruption, making the red saber look like the crystallized form of a lump of magma that weighed a few billion tons. It easily split the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s head in half.

The three gang members watched in dumbfounded silence. A young adult without any armor, just a tattered cloak and fighting suit, crawled out from within the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s split mouth.

When the young adult placed the burning red saber on his shoulder and casually cast his sharp gaze on them, the three gang members’ hearts released cries of despair.

Just like when they faced the Demonic Black Mountain Bull earlier, they were now overwhelmed by fear of death. Each bundle of nerves in them wanted to flee from their bodies and run.

“M-Meng Chao!” the bravest of the trio called out in a quivering, hoarse voice.

Then, together with his two companions, he realized that something didn’t match up.

‘What’s going on? Isn’t these brutal monsters a trick played by the abnormal beast and isn’t Meng Chao supposed to be the abnormal beast’s puppet?

‘Aren’t we carrying out Red Brows Su Lun, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, and Queen Bee Lu Siya’s orders to capture Meng Chao, fight against the monsters, and defend the lair?

‘Why didn’t Meng Chao ambush us while we were stunned in fear and instead fought against the monster with us? If being honest… he had saved them.’

The three gang members were really puzzled.

But they did not dare to readily believe in anything Meng Chao said.

But there was something that was certain.

Meng Chao had descended among them like a God and instantly cut the Demonic Black Mountain Bull in half. When faced with an opponent like this, they had no will to fight.

“This place is too dangerous, you can’t handle it. Leave and run up.” While standing on the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s head, Meng Chao looked at their emblems. They belonged to different gangs. He paused for a moment before he added, “Also, look for your gang leaders as fast as you can and tell them two things.

“First, absolutely do not believe Red Brows Su Lun.

“If you must choose a highest commander, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, Queen Bee Lu Siya, or any other gang leader will do, but do not choose Su Lun! He’s the real monster’s puppet, a traitor in human skin!

“If you don’t trust me and insist on handing over all authority to Su Lun, make sure that there is at least fifty muscular men keeping an eye on him at all times, and I mean 24/7. Don’t let him out of sight for even a second. Even when he goes to the toilet, make sure that someone helps him take off his pants, flick his willy clean, and clean it. That should do, right?

“Second, pay attention to the warehouses.

“A lot of the indoor arenas in Mutual Gold Coliseum have been modified into warehouses. There are piles of ammunition, crystals, medicine, and relief resources in them. These things are the ballasts that ensure the lair’s stability!

“No matter how chaotic the borders of the lair are, how great the conflict between you and Leprosy Village is, and how many monsters who took Deification Capsules ran out, they’re all smoke bombs and deceptions used by the enemy. As long as the warehouses are fine, final victory will still belong to us.

“But if something goes wrong with the warehouses, such as the crystal bombs being detonated or the medical resources and relief resources being destroyed by fire, everything will be over, understand?”

After reaching the final sentence, Meng Chao scowled and shouted.

He used Fear Bomb while speaking, which made his words strike at the three gang members’ cerebral cortex like a warhammer, and they saw the image of the lair being destroyed overnight.

The three gang members were puzzled and shocked. They stuttered as they asked, “M-Meng Chao, are you…”

‘Are you a hero or a traitor? What do you want to do? Why are you helping us?’

“Because we’re humans.”

The three gang members’ puzzlement was written on their faces, so Meng Chao could understand their question without even hearing it.

But he did not have the time to explain it. He frowned and said firmly, “It doesn’t matter how many misunderstandings and conflicts we have, I can’t just watch humans fall in front of monsters!”

“…” The three gang members looked like they were struck by lightning and stood dumbstruck.

They just kept blinking.

This was the first time they truly used their eyes to see this young adult who had spawned many rumors but remained enigmatic and mysterious.

At that moment, Meng Chao heard heavy breathing and heavy stomps again. A pair of red eyes appeared.

There had been two Demonic Black Mountain Bulls.

The one still alive had mutated even more compared to the one Meng Chao had cut in half with just one slice.

Aside from possessing tusks that were like a mammoth’s, it also had eight thick horns on its head, all of which shone with a metallic light.

It looked like someone had embedded a huge morning star stuffed full of explosives onto a main battle tank.

When it saw its companion’s ghastly, severed carcass, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull let out a sad wail.

Its bones started growing with loud cracking sounds. Its body swelled up, and its killing intent turned so fierce that it almost lit up and burnt the air.

Meng Chao positioned Bloody Soul across his chest and shouted at the trio without turning his head back. “Go!”

He focused his full attention and fighting spirit on the area ahead of him. He did not care that his back was now completely exposed to the three gang members.

The trio first looked at his back, then shook from the monster’s roar. They looked past Meng Chao’s shoulder and looked at the monstrous Demonic Black Mountain Bull.

“Meng Chao…” They hesitated for a while before gritting their teeth. “Hold on. We’ll bring more people here!”

Meng Chao did not answer.

The waves created by Bloody Soul were enough to show that he was determined not to retreat.

Due to the speed at which he swung his saber, wherever his blade went, the air would distort because of the increased temperature when the blade grazed the air particles. It was as if he had cut a rift in space itself.

Unfortunately, after the Demonic Black Mountain Bull saw its companion’s severed carcass, it was on guard.

It lowered its head and did not give Meng Chao the chance to cut its soft chin, neck, and stomach with a slide under its body.

It used its sturdy horns, fangs, and skull to face Meng Chao’s blade.

With a crack, Bloody Soul embedded itself into the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s skull.

The problem was, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s skull was as sturdy as metal. And when he tried to cut it, his strength was distributed through the skull due to the bone’s arc.

He merely cut through two-thirds of the skull’s thickness, and Bloody Soul got stuck in the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s head.

Meng Chao was about to free his saber and summon his strength to pump destructive spirit energy inside it when the Demonic Black Mountain Bull turned its neck. Its head moved like a morningstar and rammed Meng Chao against the wall. Immediately after, its huge body—weighing dozens of tons—slammed into Meng Chao.

Boom!

The underground walls of Mutual Gold Coliseum were made of thick reinforced concrete, but when the Demonic Black Mountain Bull ate the Deification Capsules and drained its vitality in exchange for explosive strength, the walls became as brittle as the shell of a lava cake.

Meng Chao was pinned by the Demonic Black Mountain Bull and crushed the wall behind him.

Before he could cough up blood, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull slammed into the wall a second, thheird, and fourth time while he was still pinned on its horns.

No matter how many times the wall was hit, it did not seem to be able to stop the Demonic Black Mountain Bull from speeding up and destroying everything like a cannonball.

Meng Chao felt like he was an empty aluminium can under a hydraulic press that weighed ten thousand tons. In a moment, he was going to be crushed into something that was as thin as a cicada’s wing between the Demonic Black Mountain Bull and reinforced concrete.
