I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 587 156: 2 vs 9 (4,100 Words)

In the sixth round of the battle, Tang Yue, the lieutenant general, got on stage without hesitation.

And the moment he appeared, both the opponent's middle-aged main combatant and Lu Jiufeng himself widened their eyes in disbelief.

They knew the military chose Mokaka; otherwise, they wouldn't have let two modified soldiers go up one after another.

But they really didn't expect the military to be willing to make such a huge gesture, allowing someone like Tang Yue to personally step into the arena after two valuable modified soldiers gave their lives.

This is not someone you want to mess with.

Ordinary soldiers? If they're killed, they're killed. If the military insists on an inquiry, you just claim it was accidental, apologize, pay some compensation, and that's that.

But Tang Yue is different.

Although a lieutenant general is not the top figure in the military—there's still the army group's general and the Grand Army's chief of staff marshal above him—Tang Yue is, after all, the leader of a legion, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops. His real status in Nest City is just slightly lower than the mayor's.

If he died at their hands, Lu Jiufeng and his team really wouldn't be able to explain it to the military.

However, the problem is that this duel in the Supreme Heaven Purification Field is tied to their plan, and failure is absolutely not an option.

Lu Jianfeng hesitated for a moment.

"It's alright."

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man, who was the main combatant, shook his head slightly and said softly, "Just feel free to take action. Focus on driving him out. If you can push him out of the duel arena, causing him to lose by stepping out of bounds, that's the best. But if it can't be done, killing him directly is also fine."

"History is written by the victors, especially in a place like this Supreme Heaven Purification Field. As long as we win, we can claim that Tang Yue was killed by Mokaka. Do you think the military really has the means to enter the Supreme Heaven Purification Field to investigate a dead man?"

With the middle-aged man's assurance, Lu Jiufeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, what do they have to worry about? As long as they win, everything can be turned upside down, and the Mokaka who pleads for fame can become an exceedingly corrupt official.

If they win, everything will work out.

With this thought in mind, Lu Jiufeng no longer hesitated.

His sequence ability could no longer be used, and the Death God Talent was also sealed, but he felt that relying on his own strength would be enough to blast this old man Tang Yue off the stage.

But at the first engagement, he noticed something amiss.

How could this old guy have such strength? He could directly block his punches, even suppressing them?!

After several exchanges of punches, Lu Jiufeng was stunned.

Then, he noticed the subtle black lines hidden beneath Tang Yue's skin.

It seemed as if the blood flowing through the old general's veins was not red, but liquid black metal.

"Nanometer Subcutaneous Armor!"

Lu Jiufeng's pupils contracted as he instantly recognized the thing.

Developed by military technology, nano subcutaneous armor involves injecting a large number of nanometal particles into the bloodstream, replacing the blood. It can provide normal transportation of nutrients and oxygen, significantly enhancing the user's physical strength, resistance to blows, and healing speed.

From a certain perspective, programmable and morphable nanometal is practically a universal prosthetic body, more convenient and practical than simple human modification.

However, this is still a laboratory product. For now, even giant enterprises like military technology cannot mass-produce it, supplying it only to a small portion of military personnel and high-level Nest City Council officials.

Moreover, because the installation of subcutaneous armor requires connection to neural synapses, anesthesia cannot be used. This brings excruciating pain, lasting for several hours to several days, so only a few with great perseverance choose to implant this prosthetic body.

In the rapid exchange of blows, Lu Jiufeng found himself at a disadvantage, taking heavy punches to the face, abdomen, and back.

The destructive power of nano heavy punches was terrifying, each punch leaving a bleeding dent on him.

Ultimately, with no other options, Lu Jiufeng had to use his trump card.

He stepped back a few paces, took out an ancient round stone wedge, bit his finger, dropped blood on it, and then threw it at Tang Yue.

This was a relic from ancient times, said to be a weapon used by ancient shamans against enemy tribes, with a very simple effect: rapidly aging the opponent's flesh.

Tang Yue, at seventy-three this year, looked similar to Old Jin, but once hit by the round stone wedge, both his skin and bones aged several times over, his hair turned white in an instant, and his eyes clouded.

This was the treasure Lu Jiufeng had been hiding all along! This guy, worthy of being the young master of the top noble Lu Family in Nest City No. 3, indeed had more dangerous cards up his sleeve.

If it had been Tian En and Yun You who took this hit, the burden of physical aging would certainly cause them tremendous discomfort, possibly losing their original judgment and combat skills.

After all, the aging caused by the round stone wedge is fixed, making them about fifty years older.

Tian En and Yun You are still under twenty; if they aged fifty years all at once, they'd step directly into middle age, drastically reducing their physical capabilities.
