Secret Buyer-Chapter 99 - 97: Who Will Devour Whom!

"An... earthquake?"

Yu Chengzhong and Li Qiuhua gasped, looking at the long street that seemed to have been ravaged by artillery fire,

The road ahead had completely collapsed, while water from the deeply buried underground river occasionally surged up, splashing into fragments, leaving foamy residue.

At this moment, the entire shattered street was trembling with each jolt.

Yu Chengzhong, gasping for air, glanced at the torn wound on his abdomen and dragged Li Qiuhua into a relatively intact supermarket, stumbling as they went.

He knocked over a shelf, slumped to the ground, a trace of bitterness and disbelief still lingering on his face:

"It was, it was the Action Team..."

Li Qiuhua swayed a bit, her voice dry:

"Could it be, could it be fake?"

As she said this, she didn’t even believe it herself—above, ten enormous aerospace ships were hovering at this moment!

In the Investigation Bureau,

The Vanguard Team functioned like ’scouts’, responsible for gathering information and intelligence, determining the movements of the Evil Cult, led by a Martial Arts Master.

The Action Team, on the other hand, was responsible for ’extermination’.

A Grandmaster leads a team of ten groups, a hundred people, with an entire aerospace ship at their service.

Old Yu coughed up blood, with a tragic smile:

"The Western Sect, an Evil Cult, merely intended to limit the Divine Descent to the Lower Three Districts..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He murmured in a daze:

"That Upper Envoy who came to oversee discovered a Flesh Plague spreading in other districts, and even sent us to investigate and contain the plague’s spread."

Li Qiuhua sat dejectedly on the ground, lighting a cigarette, lost in thought:

"In the end, the ones spreading the plague are the Action Team, the Anti-Cult Investigation Bureau."

Though uninjured, her face was pale, as if the beliefs she had held for many years had crumbled catastrophically.

Old Yu said nothing, taking a deep breath. Earlier, while they were investigating the plague’s spread in the Upper Three Districts and Central Three Districts,

they saw numerous aerospace ships, and several Action Team members descending from the sky.

The two wanted to connect with them, exchange information, but...

As soon as they revealed their identity, three or four action groups chased them for the kill!

"Jiangzhou, Investigation Bureau, Federation..."

Old Yu spoke bitterly:

"At least, Old Zhang survived... Little Fusheng should be in the waiting area by now, right?"

Li Qiuhua’s face twitched:

"Not necessarily."

"All communications with areas outside Jiangzhou have been cut off, do you think airports and stations wouldn’t be sealed?"

Yu Chengzhong was silent for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh.

The ground began to shake again, and from the collapse site not far away, came weak muffled sounds.

"Something’s not right." Suddenly, the two’s expressions changed, curling their bodies as much as possible—they saw an Action Team chasing them!

"The last breath was around here... where are they?" The team leader spoke in a low voice, scanning around, the ground vibrating slightly.

"Earthquake?" A member frowned, pointing to the hole there: "Could they have gone in?"

The team leader pondered for a moment:

"Go! Let’s go down and check it out!"

Eleven people approached the deep space, looking down, a pitch-black void. It was hard to see clearly, but thudding sounds echoed repeatedly.

"Strange..." The team leader raised an eyebrow, unfortunately, the first secret he discovered was not a liver’s mystery,

otherwise, he could see hundreds of miles away, and see through the thick darkness easily.

"Follow me closely."

He whispered, taking the lead in leaping down, members all followed by jumping one after the other.

Eleven people descended along the cracked, fractured rock layers, further down.

......

Three hundred meters underground.

This was a mid-level underground river, extremely dim.

"Is it... is it over?" Chen Nuanyu’s hands and feet were cold, had Zhang Fusheng died?

In the deathly silence.

’Thud thud thud thud thud!’

Suddenly, a series of falling noises sounded, Chen Nuanyu looked over, momentarily stunned.

Eleven mysterious figures in protective suits, with gas tanks strapped on their backs, wearing masks, appeared.

Who were they?

As she remained in a daze.

"Where’s the underground river?" The team leader looked at the moist rocky ground, muttering in confusion, along with the members, who blinked slightly, quickly acclimating to the dimness here.

They froze.

That is...???

The team leader saw, in the center of the broken, collapsed rock layer, two Giants, one glowing with golden light and the other terrifyingly grim, embracing each other!

"Team... Team Leader?" Some members were terrified, each a bit restless, instinctively retreating.

Meanwhile.

The terrifying Giant withdrew its hand, revealing shattered heart fragments.

Chen Nuanyu closed her eyes.

"It’s over." Niu Dali paid no attention to those who jumped down, opened his mouth lightly, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness, finally, finally having encountered such an opponent...

Among the Martial Artists, there was only this one who could rival him in strength.

He extended his hand, touching Zhang Fusheng’s rapidly paling face, and softly said:

"Little Junior Brother, Black Eye said you have the Life Plate to become a Deity, now it seems, indeed so."

"If you hadn’t met me, you certainly would have become a Deity."

Become... become a Deity??

The team leader’s mouth twitched:

"What a load of bull..."

He relaxed slightly, realizing those two giants seemed to be... only at the Martial Artist level?

Then they’re nothing.

Niu Dali turned his head, glancing at him lightly, grinning widely, unconcerned about outsiders, considering them all dead already.

He looked again at Zhang Fusheng’s hand embedded in his own abdomen, smiling silently:

"Black Eye said, there’s no chance I’d ever kill you because you’re destined to become a Deity in the future, but I don’t believe in the future."

"I only believe in the present."

"See—you’ve been killed by me now, haven’t you?"

The Golden Body Giant hung its head, coughing up a large mouthful of blood, its life force quickly extinguishing,

Niu Dali once again reached out to touch the face of the Golden Body Giant, gently lifting it.
