Chapter 586: Pretty Good Luck
Su Lun’s expression was really fascinating.
He looked as lost as a deep sea fish that was suddenly brought thousands of ters up and found itself at the surface of the sea.
He might be smiling confidently because the key to victory was in his hands, but his eyes shone with panic. Not only were his facial features twisted, all his muscles were also twitching uncontrollably. Even his eyebrows were raised high, as if they wanted to flee from his face that was about to break down.
“Ah... That’s...” he stuttered for a long ti, but he still could not form a complete sentence.
Lu Siya calmly removed her shattered motorized armor.
It revealed her astonishing figure. She only wore a thin, skintight fighting suit that showed all her curves.
The curves in her chest area were astonishing, but there was not even a single wound the size of a fingernail, much less a hole that could allow soone to dig her heart out.
“That’s impossible...” Su Lun widened his eyes in disbelief.
Lu Siya tossed the chest plate she removed at Su Lun’s feet.
The see-through hole in her chest plate and the blood stuck inside it answered all the questions that Su Lun had not managed to ask.
The motorized armor Lu Siya wore in the beginning was customized. It stuck close to her, and there was not a single bit of extra space. She could not play any tricks with it.
However, she tore it off piece by piece when the armored airship experienced great damage while descending.
Later on, to catch ng Chao, she switched to a suit of strengthened, offensive, heavy armor with more than ten guns, rocket launchers, and M203 grenade launchers.
Even though the motorized armor could automatically adjust to the size of the user and fit the user based on their size, strengthened offensive heavy armor had a lot of space for ammunition and cooling so that the user could carry as many firearms and weapons as possible. From the outside, it looked really mighty.
It was not that hard to get so extra space in a suit of heavy motorized armor that was more than 2.5m in height and was nearly 2m in breadth.
With Lu Siya’s cultivation realm, she could be said to have reached the peak control of her muscles and bones, so she could control them at will.
She then curled up in her huge motorized armor and controlled her rather large pecs to move a little to the right. This created so space beside her underarm, which was enough for her to stuff a large amount of monster organs inside.
When “ng Chao” unleashed the fatal strike and appeared to have pierced her back, in truth, all he did was graze her pecs. At most, he left so lacerations and contusions under her armpit, but he did not injure her in the slightest.
Then, “ng Chao”‘s arm pierced the monster organs that had been stuffed inside the motorized armor, which resulted in a bloody ss.
When he pushed his arm out of Lu Siya’s chest plate, right at the spot where her heart was, he held a hot, pulsating heart. The visual effects of that were naturally terrifying.
Su Lun thought about this quickly, and he imdiately understood that the heart “ng Chao” grabbed was fake. There was a huge chance that it was a monster heart that was about the sa size as a human heart!
With the spirit flas of a superhuman, it was not hard for a monster heart that had just been harvested to remain hot.
And with a bit of spirit energy to imitate bioelectricity, he could stimulate the muscles in the heart so that it would pulsate. It was an insignificant child’s play.
What a joke. He actually fell for such a trick!
Su Lun’s expression cracked, and he felt really regretful.
With resentful eyes, he stared at “ng Chao”, whose face was covered in adhesive liquid and whose facial features were lting.
“ng Chao” rubbed his face to remove the slimy, sticky, shiny, and semi-transparent liquid off. He rubbed it on his clothes, not bothering about how slimy it was.
Once all the adhesive liquid was wiped off, sothing unbelievable happened.
His face had been distorted, and he looked hideous, like a half-lted wax statue, but now, his facial features had returned to normal, and he looked like ng Chao again!
“Y-You’re really... ng Chao?” Su Lun asked, terrified.
He looked like he had seen a living ghost, but also like he wanted to find the largest crystal bomb so that he could die with ng Chao.
“That’s right.” ng Chao wiped off the last bit of adhesive liquid off his face and flicked it at Su Lun’s feet. He grinned. “This is grease from a Demonic Black Mountain Bull and around eight other monsters. I also mixed around five types of crystal powders inside to create a semi-transparent ointnt.
“I first spread a lot of that ointnt on my hair and behind my ears. The ointnt lted because of the heat and flowed down, naturally making it look like I’m secreting adhesive liquid and are like a lting wax statue.
“Of course, there were so differences compared to how your master lts when he faces heat. But I believed that you wouldn’t have seen him lt many tis, and it would be impossible for you to have observed him at a close distance. Besides, there’s a lot of fires here, and there’s smoke everywhere, this would make it even harder for you, right?”
Su Lun looked like a fish brought out of water. His lips moved, but he said nothing.
“You’re right about sothing, though. The trap with the crystal saber was child’s play. It didn’t suit soone who is the God of Wealth in the lair, the vice gang leader of Golden Tooth, and the No.1 traitor. So, we never thought about using this trap to expose your true colors,” ng Chao said with a grin. “But after you saw through our trap, you’d definitely feel pleased with yourself and relax. In fact, you might even feel that you’re superior in terms of intellect.
“When soone is ntally relaxed, they usually are at their most vulnerable. This is sothing I learned when I was living in the wild.
“Since your master could pretend to be and kill as well as commit all sorts of heinous cris, I can naturally do the sa thing and pretend to be it to set you up.
“I admit that I was gambling, but just like how I’ve blatantly told you when I first ambushed you, I no longer have any other options besides staking everything on one bet.
“Fortunately, I’m pretty lucky.
“Perhaps every noble person who has great ideals, has removed himself from low tastes, and is only passionate about contributing to their hotown has good luck.”
Each and every one of ng Chao’s words was like a nail that stabbed into Su Lun’s coffin.
Su Lun took two steps back. He looked like he was really stuffed into an invisible coffin and could not breathe, which turned his face pale.
He cradled his chest, and his blood-red eyebrows twitched. His sharp gaze went from ng Chao’s throat to Lu Siya’s throat.
“Do you really trust him so much?” he asked in disbelief.
If he were to be frank, ng Chao’s tricks were not even worthy of being ntioned.
Even so, without Lu Siya’s absolute trust in him, this sort of trick would have never seen the light of day.
Su Lun had managed to figure out that Lu Siya ca to save ng Chao, but he did not expect that she would be so determined.
“Didn’t you say that you had analyzed my personality? Just like ng Chao, I’m soone who prefers offense to defense. There’s no way I’d ignorantly cut my ties with ng Chao and destroy my greatest investnt up to date!” Lu Siya said airily. “Also, listen well, Red Brows Su Lun. I might not trust ng Chao completely, but I sure as heck do not trust you either. If I had to find soone that I trust completely, it could only be .
“I will only use my own eyes, ears, and brain to decide whether ng Chao is good or evil, whether he is a criminal or an innocent, and whether he is a hero or a traitor.
“Su Lun, you’re too impatient.
“From the mont I descended, I have been watching you. Your microexpressions and your body language showed just how eager you were to kill ng Chao.
“After Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong, Snake Eye Mo Lan, and others ca to think wrongly of ng Chao as a traitor, they wanted to kill him as quickly as possible to get rid of future troubles, but your killing intent was even stronger than that of Phantom Bear Xiong Wei. Hating evil could not explain such strong emotions.
“So, before I t with ng Chao, I kept an eye on you. There’s a reason behind why you lost this round.”
Su Lun looked like he had been struck by lightning and swayed.
“It would have been better if I didn’t show up,” he mumbled. “If I didn’t show up, you wouldn’t have discovered any evidence, and without concrete evidence, it would have been impossible for you to prove that I’m a traitor.”
“But how could you have held back and now shown up?” ng Chao asked. “You’re guilty. Besides, you also know that Lu Siya didn’t co here to kill , but to save . Then, if Lu Siya found first instead of Xiong Wei, there was a high possibility that we would explain things to each other and resolve the misunderstanding. That’s sothing you could not tolerate.
“Besides, I didn’t kill innocent lair citizens, as you wanted to. Instead, I saved quite a lot of people from monsters.
“Even though these people wouldn’t imdiately believe , once I saved enough, it’d beco a problem to you in the long run.
“You couldn’t watch sche things with Lu Siya, either. After all, she didn’t co into the lair alone. She brought with her a large group of elite fighters from Sky Pillar Corporation. Even if she were the only one to trust , that alone would be problematic for you.
“So, you could only enter the underground alone to personally take care of .”
Su Lun pondered over this for a long ti and found that ng Chao was right.
It was impossible for him to have waited up there calmly like a fisherman.
“But how could you be certain that I knew that the Vortex would lt at a high temperature?” Su Lun asked through gritted teeth. “If I didn’t know about the Vortex’s secret, your careful disguise would have been the sa as you flirting with a blind man. It’d be completely useless.”
“There was that possibility, and it was very great.” ng Chao sighed. “If that was the case, I could only surrender and let Big Sis Ya do whatever she wants with . I would trust that she wouldn’t kill imdiately or let Phantom Bear Xiong Wei do that either.
“As long as I didn’t die, I could confront you. Even if I couldn’t expose your true colors, I’d at least make everyone suspect you. At worst, I’d ask them to bind together with you with a chain so that we’d be together when we do everything. Then, you wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.”
