Chapter 87 People Who Don't Handle Pressure
Shinohara Makoto's expression suddenly changed. He was about to reach for the transformation device he had slammed on the table when a thorn flew through the air and pierced his right shoulder as if it had pierced through tofu. The huge impact slammed him against the wall.
Iron thorns burst forth from his body, locking onto the concrete wall. Then, they circled around and emerged again, locking Shinohara Makoto's arms and neck.
He wasn't the only one; the moment the iron thorns were shot out, the Rose Queen summoned her rose bushes in an attempt to stop them.
But in the instant the two collided, a purple electric current burst forth from the thorns, piercing and burning the entire rose bush.
The Rose Queen suffered the same fate as Shinohara Makoto at almost the same time, and was kept by his side.
The masked man in black fared better. The iron thorns pierced through his body as if through a thin mist, but he seemed completely unaffected, turning into mist and drifting out, heading straight for the base's ventilation ducts.
Chu Wuji slowly raised a finger and flicked it lightly, as if he were playing with a glass marble.
The shockwave, which transformed into a beam, directly shattered the man in black from his misty state, and then the thorns followed, pinning him to the wall.
However, unlike the other two, the black-clad man's thorns were constantly crackling with purple lightning, causing him to convulse and making it impossible for him to use his abilities.
"I'll ask, you answer." Chu Wuji took a few steps forward, exposing himself to the incandescent light.
"Where did you take Chu Tong?"
66
'
"Very good, they seem to be tough nuts to crack, much like your captain." Chu Wuji raised his hand, and blood mist exploded from his fingertips, crawling along the iron thorns toward the three of them.
Although I don't know what this is, it's definitely not a good thing.
At this critical juncture, Shinohara Makoto, with his martial arts background, finally managed to break free of some of the thorns binding his neck.
"A little air... please..."
'
'
Chu Wuji silently loosened the thorns around the three people's necks a little, allowing them to take a deep breath.
"I can't find it... Uh!! Bro, I really don't know!!"
Chu Wuji's face was so dark it could drip water, and Chu Tong's terminal was constantly disconnected and powered off, making it impossible to contact him.
He raised his finger, ready to kill someone first.
"I really don't know, I really don't know!" The masked black man trembled with fear and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"It was all the captain's idea; we were forced to join him!"
"I know, I know!!" The Rose Queen, who had barely recovered from the backlash, finally spoke.
"The captain didn't tell us to hurt her, he just told me to keep an eye on her, but I failed, and Chu Tong ran away!"
"ran away? Where did they go?"
"No...I don't know, she probably went to find her brother!"
Hearing this, Chu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. No news was the best news. If Chu Tong really had gone to find him, he should be able to receive a call soon.
Chu Wuji waved his hand lightly, and countless vines bound the three of them tightly. Then, under their horrified gazes, he lifted a sphere into the room.
That was none other than Ronan Wixon, the captain of the Endgame League.
But at this moment, he was tormented beyond recognition by the ever-growing tumors and thorns growing from his flesh.
Chu Wuji gently lifted his foot, then stomped on Ronan's right foot and crushed it.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The intense pain roused him from his coma.
"I just searched on the brain-computer interface, you seem to be some important person."
"Call your dad and tell him that if he doesn't want you to die, he should listen to me obediently."
Chu Wuji had already discovered the identity of the person in front of him halfway there, and he knew that this person was definitely not someone that a mere second-tier cultivator like himself could afford to offend.
He planned to stall for time until he found Chu Tong, then find a way to take Chu Tong to the Demon Slayer world to avoid trouble.
To everyone's surprise, Ronan, who had previously been terrified of Chu Wuji, simply stared blankly at the ceiling after hearing those words.
A terrifying heat ignited from his abdomen, instantly reducing him to a skeleton.
This time, it was Chu Wuji's turn to be dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the withered bones that had even melted the concrete slab.
What's going on?
Logically speaking, the other party should have readily accepted what I said.
After all, it means he has a way to survive.
What kind of hostage would just blow themselves up at the drop of a hat?
People who don't handle stress?
Chu Wuji's claws went numb. Without Ronan alive, he had no confidence in holding off the Wickson Group.
It's worth noting that the search engine alone identified five sixth-tier powerhouses serving the Wickson Group, not to mention those operating covertly.
If any sixth-tier expert were to arrive, Yuncheng would be blown up with a single slap!
Before Chu Wuji could come up with a solution, almost the next second after Ronan died, a phone call was made to Chu Wuji's brain.
Clyde Wixon
Looking at the caller ID display, which was full of special effects and clearly indicated that the user was a high-end user, Chu Wuji hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
The call connected, followed by a long silence.
"Ronan died at your hands?" A deep male voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"..." Chu Wuji let out a long breath, his flesh and blood throbbing with urge: "It's me."
If anything goes wrong, Chu Wuji is prepared to use the "Heaven and Earth Live Together" technique to spread the blood mist and infect all living things in the nearby city.
They continued to spread the infection, eventually reaching Chu Tong. Then, relying on the self-healing ability granted by the ghost, they abandoned Cloud City and took Chu Tong into the dungeon.
We also need to add a black milk dragon.
"Well done, Little Boundless."
Upon hearing this address, Chu Wuji's pupils dilated sharply.
What's going on?
This is a term of address that is usually used by close acquaintances and elders.
Do I know this Clyde Wixon?
Chu Wuji quickly searched his memory and the result was definitely no.
"Aren't you surprised?" Clyde Wickerson said calmly on the other end of the phone.
"But I am not a close acquaintance or elder of yours."
He didn't continue with the riddle, but instead uttered a single sentence.
I killed your parents.
"Don't ask why, it's too early for you to know these things now."
"As for Ronan, it was at my suggestion that he come to find Chu Tong. His death is his own fault."
"However, no matter what, he was still an important asset of mine, and killing him caused me a huge loss."
"As punishment, you shall inherit his property, including but not limited to $150 million in liquid assets, the Endgame Alliance, and one of his half-brothers."
"My secretary will send the specific legal documents to your terminal tomorrow."
"Let's see what you'll do."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
"what?"
Was he speaking human language?
Almost simultaneously, Gu Zixin called.
"Boss! How did your sister find her way here? Are you alright?"
