196: Chapter 196 The Destruction of the Hero Association

After casually dealing with the A-Rank Hero who had just barged in, Chen Moxuan temporarily deactivated his secret technique.

He slowly turned around, cast his gaze toward Lv Ling, and asked,

"How many are left who didn't join the siege in time?"

After Chen Moxuan activated his secret technique, he had completely annihilated all those heroes who had lost their Special Abilities in just a dozen seconds.

Following that, many heroes who were summoned to remote locations failed to keep up with the main force and began barging into the battlefield one after another.

They were eliminated one by one by Chen Moxuan and Lv Ling.

"About three more, I think."

Lv Ling pondered for a moment, comparing the summon list he had issued to the various Squad Leaders with the number of heroes already dealt with.

As long as three more were eliminated, the Transcendents participating in this Continental Carnival would be completely wiped out.

"You mentioned before that within the range of your Authority, electronic devices and such would also fail, right?"

Chen Moxuan bent down to pick up a miniature earpiece that had fallen from the ear canal of a hero on the ground and asked suddenly.

"That's right."

"While they can't contact the outside world from here... is the Hero Association really that stupid?"

"With over a hundred people losing contact simultaneously, why would they keep letting people come in as reinforcements?"

Gathering as many heroes as possible together and then using Lv Ling's Demon Possession Authority to disable their Special Abilities, thereby eliminating them all.

This was the ideal scenario for the plan.

In actual execution, there would inevitably be some who slipped through the cracks.

After all, not every hero was that enthusiastic about the Hero Association's directives.

There were always those who intended to fish in troubled waters, wanting to wait for others to do the heavy lifting before leisurely strolling in to participate.

Therefore, Chen Moxuan originally thought that after dealing with the heroes within the Authority's range, he should take the initiative to sweep up the remaining heroes.

Even if they could use their Special Abilities, a few scattered heroes attacking together wouldn't pose any threat to him.

But Lv Ling had stopped Chen Moxuan, telling him that he only needed to wait here.

Sure enough, before long, lone heroes really did continue to barge in.

Being able to wait for the prey to come to him without having to run around looking for them made Chen Moxuan quite content.

But one or two was one thing; with all heroes out of contact, the Hero Association was still continuously sending people.

One must know that those who could join the Hero Association were all elites from various industries.

Every single one was a top student graduated from a prestigious university.

In this situation, not stopping the heroes from entering and choosing to watch from the outside was truly bizarre.

"In the plan we discussed earlier, were there other hidden operational arrangements?"

Chen Moxuan glanced at Lv Ling.

He saw that Lv Ling had quietly walked over to a relatively intact Transcendent corpse at some point. The arm-blade in his hand flashed with cold light as he carved the corpse into several pieces, stroke after stroke.

"What are you doing?"

"In the Demon Possession state, I become somewhat bloodthirsty and manic. Doing this helps me calm down a bit."

Lv Ling's voice was hoarse, carrying a faint tremor as if he were trying his best to suppress the inner agitation.

Hearing Lv Ling's explanation, Chen Moxuan finally understood.

No wonder he felt Lv Ling was like a berserker in the previous battle, completely different from his usual self.

"Waaahhh!"

Suddenly, a scream full of terror pierced the air.

Another unwitting hero had rashly barged in.

However, his psychological fortitude was clearly inferior to the previous one. When he saw the bloody and horrific scene inside the light dome, his legs instantly went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground.

"You want to take this one?" Chen Moxuan offered politely.

Since he activated his secret technique, he had taken the majority of the Transcendent kills.

Due to the influence of Lv Ling's Authority, even though those Transcendents' heads had exploded, their Souls were still trapped within their bodies, and the light clusters of Special Ability contained within them had not dissipated.

If one could investigate with Spiritual Sense right now, they might see the eerie sight of a large number of hero Souls staring at each other.

To use [Po Yuan] to analyze these Special Ability Laws, he would have to wait until Lv Ling deactivated his Authority.

Right now, it made no difference who killed these Transcendents.

"Thanks."

Lv Ling didn't hesitate. With bloodthirsty excitement in his eyes, he instantly charged toward the intruder sitting paralyzed on the ground.

...

"M-My Lord, I have already followed your instructions and ordered all the heroes still scattered outside to rush to that Black Light Dome at top speed."

"Whatever you want to say... can you put the knife away first?"

The Branch President's face was piled with a fawning and stiff smile. His whole body was as if under a paralysis spell, not daring to move an inch.

"What's the rush? It's not over yet."

"I haven't even bothered to shave the stubble on my own chin, yet I've specifically made time to groom you. Aren't you moved?"

Shi Fei seemingly nonchalantly swung the dagger in his hand. The blade roamed freely over the Branch President's cheek, deftly shaving away the excess stubble.

"I... I'm very moved."

"Huh? You still dare to move? It seems you're itching for another mark on your neck."

"I wouldn't dare move! I wouldn't dare!"

The Branch President was so scared his face turned pale, looking like he was about to cry.

Damn it, how would he dare to move?

Just now, several guards tried to pull their guns to resist, and in the blink of an eye, they were already corpses on the floor.

He couldn't even see how the opponent made their move.

And...

The Branch President stole a glance at the tracking device placed beside him.

On the display monitor that had been completely unresponsive, several light dots were now tightly clustered together.

The marked coordinates were exactly at the Command Center where he was located.

This gave him a piece of good news and a piece of bad news simultaneously.

The good news was that the tracking device he thought was completely broken was actually fine; it was just that the Tracking Mark had failed on that person named Chen Moxuan.

The bad news was that a ruthless character who had consecutively killed several Transcendents was now right here, holding him hostage with a dagger.

Besides this person, there was also a blonde little girl who had come along, and she definitely wasn't an ordinary person either.

As for why...

To ensure the smooth operation of the Continental Carnival live broadcast, they had prepared to eat, drink, and sleep in the Command Center.

For this purpose, they had carefully prepared enough portable food for dozens of people to enjoy for several days.

But just in the past few minutes, that massive pile of supplies was instantly sucked into that little girl's mouth like a magic trick, disappearing without a trace.

Afterward, she still looked calm, standing there quietly as if nothing had happened.

These two people were definitely not someone that non-powered individuals like them could contend with.

"Hiss!"

The Branch President felt a stinging pain from his face, as if it were being scorched by fire.

Immediately after, a warm liquid slowly trickled down his cheek.

"Oops, my hand slipped."

"Who told your eyes to keep wandering restlessly?"

Shi Fei's voice carried a faint hint of threat.

This instantly caused the Branch President's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

His legs went weak, and he repeatedly begged for mercy,

"My Lord! Please don't kill me. I have a seventy-year-old mother and three idle wives to support."

"I'll give you whatever you want, as long as I can give it!"

Hearing this, Shi Fei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Three? You really are quite lucky with the ladies."

He had originally just wanted to scare the man, but now he really felt like giving him a taste of the dagger.

"You people... You're clearly non-powered individuals too, so why do you insist on helping Transcendents oppress your own kind?"

"This old man here, although I'm usually jealous of others who can change luxury cars at will, live in mansions, and have a different woman by their side every day..."

As Shi Fei reached the end, he spoke with increasing grit,

"But... those things only have meaning when you possess them while being a human."

"Why choose to be a lapdog instead of a decent human being?"

Shi Fei used the dagger to lightly pat the Branch President's face.

The "slap-slap" sound was particularly jarring in the quiet space.

In the next instant, as if sensing something, his heart suddenly tightened, and he grabbed Mao Yutong beside him.

Dazzling white light instantly filled this entire space.

The erosion of this white light was rapid and stealthy, without any clamor or ostentation, yet it carried a chilling power of destruction.

When the blinding white light dissipated, the entire grand Command Center, which originally occupied over a hundred acres...

...had silently turned into a pile of ashes!
