Chapter 456: A New End



On the top of the building in the Core Area, through a translucent glass, the entire Huiming City was in view.

Zhao Daniu stretched his hand out as though he was about to grab something before shaking his head in despair. "Even I would not bear to destroy such a city!"

"Mister Zhao!"

Li Rulong held on to his crutch and unknowingly arrived beside him to enjoy the view of the city together.

"Next up will be out private conversation! No hidden microphones or recorders!"

Old Li chuckled and slammed his crutch once.

"Clang!"

The top of the crutch opened up, revealing a small piece of gold foil.

"This is the most advanced 3rd Generation foil disruptor and even a cultivator’s spiritual will will not be able to infiltrate this place..." Zhao Daniu became increasingly tensed. "Mister, what are you intending to say?"

"I know that you represent your country’s intentions. However, the Five Elders Association will not be able to help you..."

A tinge of sorrow flashed in Old Li’s eyes. "The few of us old men are only puppets. The real people controlling us is the Hidden Cultivators Sect."

"Do you know what the Hidden Cultivators Sect are preparing?"

Zhao Daniu could no longer hold it in and was almost shouting. "This is a crime against the people! If the planet gets destroyed because of this, the all of you will be responsible!"

"No... that won’t happen. It is only a comet."

Old Li appeared a little pale but forcefully stood in his place. "Furthermore, the comet will land in the deepest part of the oceans."

"That’s right, a ’comet’ with a diameter of over 10 kilometres. As soon as it crashes onto land, even the crater would stretch over a hundred miles, creating earthquakes and tsunamis. There would be natural disasters enough to wipe out half of all lifeforms on Planet Earth. This is your plan..."

Zhao Daniu scoffed as he remarked with sarcasm.

"We know that this is a gamble, but we have no choice..."

Li Rulong appeared dazed as he mumbled. "Almost all of the high-tiered cultivators and mutants are supportive of this plan. In doomsday, they are the people with power. Even the few of us old men can only wish that the spiritual energy would become more concentrated so that we have a path of cultivation to walk on, or that the Hidden Cultivators Sect would reward us with a longevity pill or something as a reward."

"Therefore, the 5 of you are willing to gamble the future of mankind?"

Zhao Daniu’s eyes turned red.

Even though cultivation was now widespread, the ratio of supernormal humans to normal humans was only about 20%. Although this was already a shocking number compared to previously, it was still unbelievable and illogical to sacrifice 80% of the human population for their plan.

"Since things are at this stage now, the only we can do is to pray, right?"

Old Li took in a deep breath. The tired attitude of his made Zhao Daniu speechless.

...

The next day, the entourage of vehicles left Huiming City.

"Chief of Bureau, the mission has failed. Huiming City has rejected the possibility of a cooperation!"

In the car, Zhao Daniu took out his phone and contacted the old Xi Menjian.

"Sigh..."

Receiving this news, Xi Menjian shook his head in the screen. "They are all traitors! How can they sacrifice the entire plan for the possibility of rewards."

With Fang Yuan’s assistance and 10 years of investigation, they were clear of the Hidden Cultivators Sect’s plan.

However, things were already at such a stage and were unlikely to be able to be salvaged.

"However... as long as we press on, there is still hope. I believe that Li Rulong of the Five Elders Association has a conscience in him. He even hinted to me that he will be providing us with information and assistance."

Zhao Daniu continued to report.

"Hehe..."

Xi Menjian was highly experienced by now as he chuckled. "He is just afraid and was merely trying to be on good terms with both sides... However, the fact that he is willing to help us would be better than nothing."

He sighed once more and appeared even more frail looking. "We have lesser and lesser allies now."

Transportation came to a halt everywhere in the world and people were only caring about their own cities.

The Hidden Cultivators Sect took this opportunity to expand as high-tiered mutants and cultivators snatched power in local areas and there was nothing others could do.

If not for the fact that only 10 years had passed since the invasion of the wild beasts, even the important military installations might just fall into the hands of the Hidden Cultivators Sect. By then, nothing could be done.

"The interview in Huiming City is completed. Next up, we still need to visit Yinduo City and Gucheng City... Let’s hope for a positive result. We don’t have much time left..."

Zhao Daniu sighed. "If the professor was here, everything would be fine."

He was always feeling guilty and felt that if Xi Menjian did not beg Fang Yuan to investigate the problem of the array, Fang Yuan would not have been attacked by a group of powerful beings and become missing since then.

"Don’t worry, Professor Fang will be alright! In this 10 years, didn’t he attempted to contact us through various means?"

There was a burning fire of passion in Xi Menjian’s eyes. "If not for the information he provided, we cannot even achieve what we have today! We must be confident in the Professor!"

"That’s right..."

Zhao Daniu sighed.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated as his skin became rock-hard.

"Rumble!"

In the next moment, there was a huge explosion and numerous guided missiles struck the cars, creating flames from the explosions.

"Someone is ambushing us!"

The survivors of the explosion retaliated with their own guns. A few of them released their magical equipment while some others even activated their special abilities.

"Who are you people?"

Zhao Daniu roared as he walked out of the flames. With a single punch, two mutants in the form of wild beasts flew out and broke a few bones.

"Alright! You’re the powerful Rockman Niu indeed! A 3rd Tier mutant!"

A man in black clapped his hands and walked out. He had a ruthless look in his eyes. "It’s a pity... you will not be able to live past today!"

"Are you people... from the Hidden Cultivators Sect?"

Wild thoughts ran through Zhao Daniu’s mind as he soon understood everything.

"That’s right..."

The man in black did not even bother to wear a mask. He had a pale face with a cocky look. "The Li Family will be wiped out as well. The Hidden Cultivators Sect will not require people who are disloyal!"

"You people are traitors of the country! Traitors of humanity! Traitors of the planet!"

Zhao Daniu was enraged to the point that he was shaking.

Never would he have thought that there would be such people in the world!

"Traitors of the planet? Hehe..."

The man in black snickered. "I climbed to where I am today with my own merits. What has it got to do with the planet? The path of cultivation would mean that as long as I become God, I will be able to enjoy longevity and become the ruler of all. By then, who would be willing to revert back to becoming a normal human?"

"I want the people of this planet to... become supernormal! All of them! Everyone should have their own path to becoming supernormal and not return to the bleak past... we are the true... path!"

"Whoosh!"

As he spoke, a sense of ’justice’ surrounded him. With his outstretched hands, 5 streaks of dark glow shot out.

"Rock Crumbling Strike!"

Zhao Daniu hollered as he returned a punch. Even if machine guns were to land bullets on him, the bullets would merely deflect and cause sparks.

However, in the next moment, as soon as the dark glow landed on Zhao Daniu, blood started to spew everywhere.

"Wooooo..."

Zhao Daniu was stunned. Looking at the wounds on his body, he slowly knelt to the ground.

"You’re outdated to be reliant on your special ability!"

The man in black took a step forward and the dark glows transformed into small knives which swam about between his hands like small fish.

"In times like this, the fusion of special abilities and cultivation techniques are the main thing. You’re phased out!"

From above, the man in black spoke in a mocking tone. "Remember... the one that killed you is Feng Han of the Hidden Cultivators Sect!"

"I know about this... all along!"

Zhao Daniu spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, he roared as he whipped out a huge gun from his waist. "Die!"

"Bang!"

Sparks flew.

A bullet flew out of the gun and in an instant, made it through Feng Han’s forehead.

"Pa!"

Feng Han’s brain fluid spewed everywhere as his head exploded like a huge watermelon. A tortoise shell fell to the ground and in the shell, there was a hole.

This genius could not even rebut a single word before dying.

Only a few people could see what had happened in the previous instant. Just as the bullet was about to hit Feng Han, he had already activated his tortoise shell magical weapon to receive the bullet.

However, it was no use. As the bullet landed on the tortoise shell, it struck through effortlessly and took Feng Han’s life.

"Hehe!"

Zhao Daniu blew at the barrel of the gun and coughed. "This is the newest generation of Demon Restraining Gun. It is already worth it for me to be able to kill one person with it!"

There was something else which Zhao Daniu did not mention. Although the gun was being manufactured, the resources required to make it were rare and it could not be mass produced. Most importantly, it could only fire one bullet and was a weapon which should only be used in the most critical moment to save a life.

With a single use, the gun would be rendered useless.

"Kill him!"

At the death of their leader, the henchmen were in chaos but they could gather their thoughts together to come to a decision.

To such a powerful organisation, the loss of a small leader was nothing and could be easily replaced.

"Yingzi... I’m sorry..."

Gazing at the surrounding attackers, Zhao Daniu shut his eyes painfully as his right hand held tightly onto a golden pendant frame hung on his neck.

"Hehe!"

After a long while, his expected pain did not arrive. Instead, there was a familiar snicker.

With suspicion, Zhao Daniu opened his eyes and was in disbelief. "It’s really... It’s really you!"

"It’s me!"

Fang Yuan laughed as he stood before Zhao Daniu. "Daniu... It has been so many years. Why are you still as unlucky as before?"

"Fang... Fang Yuan!"

Zhao Daniu started to stutter and was elated as he examined Fang Yuan who appeared 20 years old. "You’re finally back!"

"That’s right! I’ve finally finished what I have to secretly do in the two other continents and the ocean!"

Fang Yuan replied before looking to the side.

A young female with a pair of black and white wings started to strike mercilessly, killing everyone in the vicinity.

"This is... the Demon Weapon!"

Zhao Daniu swallowed his saliva. "The rumours are true! Are you able to control it now?"

"It’s merely working together!"

Fang Yuan changed the topic. "I’m back here to settle everything once and for all."
