Chapter 134: The Conflict Begins
Zhu City, Bureau 869 underground base.
“Director Qin, that lunatic Lei De has recently been active near our base.”
Lin Xun stared at the constantly flashing red dots on the electronic map, his brows tightly furrowed.
“His targets should be our two 【Shadow】 players.”
“We must make preparations early.”
Lin Xun’s expression was also somewhat grim.
He knew Lei De was a madman.
But he had not expected Lei De to be this insane, daring to directly provoke Bureau 869.
“What does he want to do?”
Director Qin asked in a deep voice, “Isn’t he afraid of us?”
“Afraid?”
Lin Xun let out a cold laugh. “That lunatic Lei De only fears one thing—losing.”
“He hasn’t been able to find the other players for a long time.”
“On top of that, he has always suspected that we deliberately let one player escape, so he harbors great hostility toward us.”
“So, he is definitely planning to make a move against us.”
Director Qin fell silent.
He knew Lin Xun was right.
Lei De’s personality was suspicious and irritable.
Once he formed a suspicion, he would latch onto it like a mad dog and never let go.
“We can’t just sit and wait for death.”
Lin Xun suddenly stood up. “I’ll go see Lei De personally.”
“I’ll make him understand the bottom line of our Bureau 869.”
“Lin Xun!”
Director Qin called out to stop him. “The situation in Zhu City is complicated right now.”
“Doing this is too dangerous.”
“I know.”
Lin Xun did not turn his head. “But I must stop him.”
“Otherwise, our plan will be completely ruined.”
……
Eastern District of Zhu City, an abandoned dock.
Lei De was sitting atop a container, several Transcendent potions placed in front of him.
He held a map in his hand, with several areas circled in red.
Those were the regions where, based on intelligence provided by the Ascension Alliance, he had locked onto possible appearances of the remaining players.
“Damn it, where the hell did everyone go?”
Lei De sneered coldly. “If I still can’t find them, I’ll have no choice but to go cause trouble for Bureau 869.”
“Boss!”
A mercenary from the Ascension Alliance ran over to report, “Our people discovered that Lin Xun from Bureau 869 is leading a small team toward our location.”
Lei De abruptly stood up, a dangerous gleam flashing in his eyes.
“What does he want to do?”
The corners of Lei De’s mouth curled into a cruel smile.
“Hmph, perfect timing.”
“I was just worrying about not having anyone to vent on!”
He suddenly poured the Transcendent potion in his hand into his mouth.
A powerful force instantly flooded his entire body.
“Notify everyone!”
Lei De roared loudly. “Prepare for battle!”
“Today, we’ll let Lin Xun know who the true ruler of Zhu City is!”
……
Half an hour later.
Lin Xun led the agent squad to the abandoned dock.
The moment they entered the dock, they were met with fierce attacks from the Ascension Alliance mercenaries.
“Lei De, have you lost your mind?”
“Have you forgotten our agreement?” Lin Xun shouted angrily while leading Bureau 869 agents to fend off the Ascension Alliance mercenaries’ attacks.
“Lin Xun! You despicable bastard!”
Lei De’s voice came from behind the containers, filled with rage and mockery.
“You used me like a gun, then stabbed me in the back—do you think I’m stupid?”
Lin Xun’s expression changed; he knew Lei De had misunderstood.
He wanted to explain, but it was already too late.
“Lei De! Calm down!”
Lin Xun shouted loudly. “We are partners!”
“I came here to seek cooperation—stop right now!”
“Cooperation?!”
Lei De burst into wild laughter. “I don’t cooperate with despicable bastards like you!”
“Today, I’ll let you know who the real hunter is!”
Boom—!
A thick bolt of lightning erupted from Lei De’s palm, shooting straight toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun’s expression changed as he retreated sharply backward.
In his hand, an icy-cold saber appeared.
“Lei De! You really are a lunatic!”
Lin Xun roared, swinging his saber as he charged at Lei De.
The two instantly became entangled in combat.
In a flash of lightning and sparks, blades clashed.
Lei De’s power was violent, each attack carrying destructive force.
Lin Xun’s saber techniques were exquisite, each swing precisely avoiding Lei De’s vital points.
“Die!”
Lei De roared, a thick bolt of lightning slashing fiercely toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun’s expression changed as he retreated sharply backward.
But the lightning was too fast; he could not completely evade it.
Boom!
The lightning struck Lin Xun’s left shoulder, blasting him away.
Lin Xun slammed heavily into a container, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
“Captain!”
The Bureau 869 agents were shocked and rushed forward, attempting to rescue Lin Xun.
However, the Ascension Alliance mercenaries were prepared.
The energy guns in their hands spewed blazing fire, suppressing the agents completely.
“Lin Xun! You piece of trash!”
“You people from Bureau 869 are all trash!”
Lei De laughed wildly as he advanced step by step toward Lin Xun.
“Relying on Transcendent resources provided by Bureau 869 and you think you can fight our Ascension Alliance?”
“I’ve never once put your Bureau 869 in my eyes!”
He raised his fist, lightning flickering around it, preparing to deliver the final blow to Lin Xun.
At that moment—
“Stop!”
Shen Wei’s figure suddenly appeared at the dock.
“Lei De, if you dare touch Lin Xun, you’ll become an enemy of our Star Palace!”
Shen Wei said coldly.
Lei De abruptly turned his head to look at Shen Wei, a dangerous light flickering in his eyes.
“Shen Wei, you came at just the right time!”
“I was just worrying about not being able to find you!”
“I’m telling you, I’ve long known what you’re plotting!”
Lei De roared, a bolt of lightning slashing fiercely toward Shen Wei.
Shen Wei’s expression changed as a starlight shield blocked the lightning.
Boom!
The starlight shield trembled violently, forcing Shen Wei’s body backward.
“Lei De! You’ve gone mad!”
Shen Wei roared angrily. “Do you also want to start a full-scale war with our Star Palace?!”
“War it is!”
Lei De laughed wildly. “Today, I’ll let you all know who the ruler of Zhu City really is!”
He charged fiercely toward Shen Wei, and the two instantly clashed.
Lightning flashed, starlight crackled.
A three-way melee erupted completely.
Lightning and starlight intertwined, blades and thunder collided.
Lei De, Lin Xun, and Shen Wei—three Transcendents—engaged in a fierce chaotic battle at the dock.
“Lei De! You lunatic!”
Lin Xun swung his saber, blade-light flashing like lightning, every strike carrying chilling killing intent.
“You are making an enemy of Bureau 869! An enemy of the Dragon Nation!”
“Hahahaha!”
Lei De laughed wildly, lightning coiling around his body like a demon god descending upon the world.
“Fuck Bureau 869! Fuck the Dragon Nation!”
“Today, I’m going to slaughter every last one of you!”
He lunged toward Lin Xun and threw a punch.
Boom—!
A thick bolt of lightning slashed fiercely toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun’s expression changed as he swung his blade to block.
Clang!
Metal rang against metal, sparks flying everywhere.
Lin Xun was forced back several steps, the tiger’s mouth of his hand splitting open, blood flowing freely.
“Lei De, do you think you alone can fight the two of us?”
Shen Wei’s figure appeared ghostlike behind Lei De, starlight flickering in her hand.
“Starfall!”
