50: Chapter 50 Without Blowing a Blow

In just a few moments, Zhou Che, Lin Wan, and Captain Liu Ruyan, along with the heavily injured Luo Xi and the unconscious Ruan Xiaoxiao, had all been subdued by Boss Ma and his men, bound tightly, and unable to move.

Boss Ma looked at the four stunning beauties who had surrendered before him, then glanced at the scattered supplies and the unconscious Zhou Che, feeling euphoric to the point of near delirium.

He could never have imagined that the sneak attack would go so smoothly, allowing him to take down the entire Dawn Convoy without breaking a sweat!

The strange objects, the overflowing supplies, the endless food, and these four top-tier women he had been drooling over—they were all his now!

The more Boss Ma thought about it, the more excited he became. With a lecherous gaze, he ordered his men to drag the four beauties to his jeep.

His expression was triumphant and impatient; he couldn't wait to vent his carnal desires right then and there.

"Take them! Take them all! Today, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy the fruits of this victory!"

Boss Ma grabbed one with each hand, his face twisted in a mix of lechery and triumph.

He hummed a little tune as he dragged the bound Captain Liu Ruyan, Lin Wan, and the others toward his own convoy.

He had barely walked a few meters away from the Dawn Convoy, still calculating how he would torment these beauties and divide the loot once he returned.

Suddenly!

Two blinding streaks of crimson light, like thunder in the dark of night, tore through the air!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two beams were incredibly fast, striking the chests of the two Sequence 1 Transcendents from The Circus with pinpoint accuracy!

With two dull thuds of impact, the pair didn't even have time to scream.

Their chests were blasted open, leaving bloody holes. Their eyes widened, and they collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot!

The situation had changed in an instant!

Boss Ma froze, the triumph on his face instantly vanishing. His pupils contracted in extreme terror as he whipped his head around!

At that sight, his scalp tingled, and his blood seemed to freeze in his veins!

On the open ground not far away, Zhou Che stood with his hands behind his back. Lin Wan, Captain Liu Ruyan, Luo Xi, Ruan Xiaoxiao... every Transcendent from the Dawn Convoy stood behind him, completely unharmed, staring at him with cold, mocking eyes!

The people they had just bound and knocked unconscious were now slowly dissolving into nothingness like bubbles, vanishing into the wind without leaving a trace!

Fake! They were all fake!

The people they had risked their lives to ambush and subdue weren't Zhou Che and his group at all—they were just illusions!

Boss Ma stood rooted to the spot, completely stunned. His mind went blank, and his face was filled with confusion. He screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling:

"What is going on?! Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?!"

He had exhausted all his strength and drained most of his Transcendent energy to pull off this overnight sneak attack, only to end up fighting nothing?!

A playful smile curled on Zhou Che's lips. Clutching the blood moon scepter, he led his group of Transcendents and walked slowly toward Boss Ma.

Every step he took felt like it was trampling on Boss Ma's heart, making him tremble all over.

Looking down at him, Zhou Che spoke in a mocking, derisive tone:

"Oh, Little Ma, not bad. You've got some skills."

"Not much talent, but plenty of nerve. You actually dared to set your sights on my women and tried to kidnap them? Who gave you the audacity?"

Looking at the ten perfectly fine, imposing Dawn Convoy Transcendents before him.

A storm raged in Boss Ma's heart; he was cursing up a storm in his mind!

He knew clearly that the fake ambush had already drained most of their Transcendent energy!

With ten fully-restored Transcendents against the four of them who had little combat power left, a head-on confrontation was pure suicide!

The disparity in strength was too great; there was no way to fight!

Boss Ma's face turned pale, then green. He instantly put on a fawning, insincere smile, hurriedly bowing to apologize in an extremely humble tone.

"Mr. Zhou, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a huge misunderstanding!"

"I saw that everyone was tired from the journey, so I brought my brothers to conduct a fire drill to help you practice your vigilance! We can resolve this misunderstanding; everything is negotiable!"

"What do you want? Supplies, women, strange objects—I'll give you everything I have, just please spare me!"

Zhou Che was so angry he laughed. To Boss Ma, that smile was more terrifying than a devil's grin.

"Little Ma, you're on the brink of death, and you're still playing dumb and trying to pull this crap? Do you really take me for an idiot who would believe your nonsense?"

Boss Ma's heart tightened as he continued his desperate struggle, faking a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, you are a magnanimous person. You didn't kill me immediately, which must mean you think I'm still useful, right? I'm willing to be your slave!"

Zhou Che impatiently cut him off. His gaze turned icy, and his killing intent surged.

"Don't flatter yourself. I didn't strike not because you're useful, but because I was charging up."

"What did you think I was waiting for? For you to confess? I was waiting for my power to charge so I could send you on your way. And you? What were you waiting for?"

As he finished speaking, the blood moon scepter in Zhou Che's hand had finished charging!

Crimson light erupted from the staff, and an intense pressure instantly blanketed the area, making it hard to breathe.

Zhou Che slowly raised the blood moon scepter, aiming it at Boss Ma, preparing to unleash the red light attack.

Boss Ma was terrified out of his wits, his face turning pale as paper!

He had just seen with his own eyes how those two beams of red light instantly killed two Sequence 1 Transcendents; the power was terrifying!

Even as a Sequence 3, he didn't dare take a hit like that head-on!

He instinctively tried to dodge, his body tensing up as he prepared to defend with all his might!

But the next second, Boss Ma was dumbfounded!

The fully charged crimson beam wasn't aimed at him at all!

Instead, it veered sharply and slammed into the Sequence 3 Qi Controller standing next to him!

That Sequence 3 Transcendent had been watching Zhou Che's staff the whole time, assuming the red light would definitely attack Boss Ma, never expecting it to suddenly aim at him.

By the time the red light struck, it was too late to dodge!

"Squelch!"

The red light pierced directly through his chest, leaving a bloody hole.

He looked down at the wound on his chest, his face full of disbelief, before collapsing to the ground, dead on the spot!

In just a few moments, Zhou Che's three beams of red light had instantly killed three Transcendents from The Circus!

This move had Boss Ma completely bewildered!

Boss Ma was shocked and furious, trembling with rage, his face flushed red. He roared, "Zhou Che! How dare you play me!"

But anger aside, Boss Ma was still clear-headed enough to see the disparity in strength between the two sides.

With only himself and two Sequence 2 Transcendents left, and their Transcendent energy nearly depleted, they were no match for the ten Dawn Convoy Transcendents!

Staying here meant certain death!

Run! He had to run!

Boss Ma made up his mind instantly, but he roared at the remaining two Transcendents, pretending to be ready to fight to the death: "Brothers, fight them! It's us or them against the Dawn Convoy!"
