Chapter 581: 581

Chapter 581: Cunning

Meng Chao tried his best to remove Bloody Soul from the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s skull so that he could plunge it through weak areas like eyes, nose, or neck, but the blade was stuck firmly in its skull, as if it was a piece of metal that had fused into the skull after it cooled down.

Fatigue and pain swept through Meng Chao’s body like a flood.

Even though he had killed a Demonic Black Mountain Bull with just one slash earlier, that Demonic Black Mountain Bull was just like the Skeleton Feline earlier. After getting an overdose of the Deification Capsule, its bodily fluids possessed strong acidic and poisonous properties.

It had shattered Meng Chao’s motorized armor long ago.

So, when the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s sticky organs sprayed on him, even if he had spirit energy protecting him, his skin still had to deal with acid. He was covered in blood, and all his nerve endings tasted the pain of being gnawed on by more than ten thousand ants.

This was already the nth time he was injured on that long day.

He did not have a way to leverage himself, so he could not pull out Bloody Soul by even an inch.

So, he decided to just ignore the bone-shattering pain and grabbed Bloody Soul’s hilt with both hands and all his strength.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Shaking it was easier than trying to pull it out.

Visible cracks appeared on the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s skull.

Meng Chao roared as loudly as a monster, and the cracks continued spreading.

The Demonic Black Mountain Bull was in great pain, and it stomped in anger. It also began to ram its horns at the concrete wall at a more rapid pace and with more strength.

It even lowered its head a few times and dragged Meng Chao against the floor, which left trails of blood.

But no matter how it crashed into the walls and dragged Meng Chao around, he refused to let go of the saber. It was as if the hilt had blended into his burning palms. He kept shaking and twisting it with all his strength. Spirit energy gushed out of him, and the spirit flames on the blade became even brighter.

This was no longer a contest between two monstrous physical bodies.

It was a clash of wills between a human and monster after they stripped off all their physical differences.

And in such a contest, only the brave would win!

Meng Chao pushed all his weight onto Bloody Soul’s saber. With a roar at the top of his lungs to help him ignore the pain that let him know that all his joints had practically shattered, he pushed the saber inch by inch into the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s brain.

In the end, he even pressed his face against the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s head.

His eyes were bloodshot, as if they were burning. They were only 0.1mm away from the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s red, beady eyes.

“Die, monster,” Meng Chao whispered into the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s ear.

The Demonic Black Mountain Bull, a monster that would even dare to lower its head to charge at a Hell Beast in the wild, finally experienced the feeling of its knees shaking.

In the end, before it could reduce Meng Chao into a pulp, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull lost all its strength.

It let out a resigned wail and became slower. Its red eyes were filled with fear and despair.

It could easily crush four walls made of reinforced concrete, but now, even after accumulating strength for ten seconds and ramming into a random wall, it could only crush half of the wall.

Meng Chao finally left a bowl-sized wound on the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s skull.

It was a ramen bowl, of course.

Meng Chao let out a thunderous shout and finally pulled out half a meter of Bloody Soul.

Then, strength exploded from his spirit meridians like a volcano. The burning blade sank into the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s brains again.

Since Meng Chao used too much strength, his entire right arm went inside. Only his shoulder remained outside.

As his spirit energy continued rushing forth, his right arm and Bloody Soul looked like they had turned into a railway gun. They fired more than ten times consecutively.

The muzzle was red and scorching hot, and the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s brain and spine began to sizzle.

Flames gushed out of the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s orifices.

It finally fell down.

A mountain of flesh weighing dozens of tons landed on Meng Chao, which made him wince.

But the victor in the battle of brawn was him!

Meng Chao grinned and started laughing silently.

But his mirth only lasted for half a second before his eyelids started twitching.

Something… seemed wrong.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt protein. The temperature kept climbing higher, and it far surpassed the limits of what Meng Chao could do when his spirit energy surged.

Meng Chao blinked. Soon, he noticed that the Demonic Black Mountain Bull above him was burning.

No, it was not as simple as Bloody Soul burning its brains and spine. All the cells in its huge body and the mountain of flesh weighing dozens of tons were heating up rapidly. Before smoke even rose up from it, sparks had already gushed out from its torn flesh!

‘Self-combustion?’

Meng Chao remembered the cases he read about people who had taken Deification Capsules.

Since they drained too much of their energy, it caused the mitochondria that were in charge of transforming energy in the cells to go out of control. Because of that, a few people had started burning for no reason after a fight as if they were torches doused in gasoline. In an instant, they burned to a crisp.

Even if they did not do a spontaneous human combustion, the temperature of the people who took the capsules would still reach above boiling point, so the liquid in their bodies would evaporate, and they would turn into horrifying, dried up corpses.

Those reactions had been violent, but the Demonic Black Mountain Bull had to have taken more than ten times the amount of Deification Capsules that the normal robbers took.

At that moment, the mitochondria in its body went completely out of control, so it was only natural that it would release flames that were ten times or even one hundred times more brilliant than a human’s.

Meng Chao groaned.

It was fine if the Demonic Black Mountain Bull burned to ashes. The problem was, Meng Chao was crushed under it. His right arm and Bloody Arm had pierced its brain and stabbed into its body. The hilt was actually stuck in the spine!

Meng Chao did his best to pull the saber out.

But the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s desperate struggle before death had caused its flesh and muscles to twitch, and they clamped down on Bloody Soul and Meng Chao’s right arm .

The flames were spreading really quickly. In an instant, the Demonic Black Mountain Bull turned into a huge fireball.

When it burned so badly that it curled up, its flesh became really brittle, and Meng Chao finally found the chance to get out.

He first removed his legs from underneath the burning mountain of flesh. Then, he stepped on the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s horns and leaned back with everything he had.

Finally, he pulled out Bloody Soul and his right arm.

A large amount of sticky, burning body fat dripped on Meng Chao from the Demonic Black Mountain Bull’s carcass.

He looked like he had just been hit by napalm.

More than one hundred boils instantly formed on his skin.

He rolled more than ten times on the ground to get rid of the flames.

Even so, he was badly burned, and his skin cracked.

And with the wounds he sustained when the Demonic Black Mountain Bull dragged him across the floor and slammed him into the walls, he felt like he was about to combust as well.

Even breathing was torture, and moving his fingers was a luxury.

He only wanted to lie there with his limbs splayed and watch the smoke-shrouded ceiling until the apocalypse arrived.

But he could not! He had to stand up!

Terrifying holes had been left in a lot of the structures which supported the walls when the Demonic Black Mountain Bull charged around like a brute.

At that moment, the rebars and pillars around the holes were creaking. It was the bone-chilling sound of metal fatigue.

Besides, the Demonic Black Mountain’s combustion had started an underground fire.

The large creature had a lot of liquid fat in its body, and even after it died, it refused to stay quiet. The burning fat flowed everywhere like magma, which spread the fire, and the situation went out of hand in an instant.

No matter how sturdy the metal was, it could not stop the flames from burning.

When the steel became liquid, the sturdiness of Mutual Gold Coliseum and all the structures affiliated to it was reduced. There was a high chance that it would completely collapse, just like the Deification Capsule pharmacy.

Besides, Meng Chao and the Demonic Black Mountain Bull had fought chaotically. Both sides did not restrain their vitality magnetic fields, so the other elites had to have sensed it.

Meng Chao was not worried about running into normal gang members, but he did not want to run into Phantom Bear Xiong Wei while in his current state.

He also did not want to be captured by Red Brows Su Lun.

Until he thought of a way to completely prove his innocence, he had to look for…

Meng Chao’s teeth dug deep into his lips. He used his burning blood to cool down his even hotter chest and forced himself to stand up on quivering legs.

But suddenly, his pupils shrank into the size of needles.

He turned around and heard cracking sounds behind him. It was the sound of reinforced concrete scratching against stones. He turned in that direction.

Then, he saw nine objects that looked like pythons, aquatic dragons, and tentacles rising slowly in the flames and smoke.

While the nine stone dragons danced, Lu Siya smiled at him.

Red Brows Su Lun placed his hands behind his back in the special VIP room in Mutual Gold Coliseum. It was located on the highest floor, and he was currently in front of a wide French window.

He looked into the distance through the window and saw the lair in which everyone was moving in a flurry and which was shrouded in smoke.

Explosions and flames were everywhere. Waves of heat gushed into the sky and created huge whirlpools on the gray cloud-covered sky.

Smoke pillars containing loads of impurities looked really colorful but were like chains that came stretching out of hell. They bound the lair tightly.

In the meantime, fighters, who were armed to the teeth and wore different gang emblems on their chests, looked like metal-made chess pieces. They waited in the open-air arena, ready to charge into hell without fear with just one word from Su Lun.

This gave him the enticing feeling that he was about to build his success on a pile of corpses.

No one could see his red eyebrows and lips curl up. A face full of ambition was reflected on the French window.

A few gang members whose armor were ruined and were injured crashed in while staggering.

“Commander Su and gang leaders, the monsters in the coliseum have all been released. They were fed and injected with large doses of stimulants, which turned them into really fierce superbeasts. The electromagnetic and self-destruct collars don’t work, which has caught us off guard. The losses are heavy, and the situation is now completely out of control!”

Su Lun sucked in a deep breath. At the moment he turned around, the ambition and brutality on his face were gone. In their place were great regret and earnestness.

“It’s my fault. I didn’t expect that Meng Chao would be so cunning and arrange such a despicable move.” Su Lun looked pained and punched the air fiercely. He then gritted his teeth. “I was careless for a moment, and fell into another trap!”
