260: Chapter 260 Inexplicable

In the suburbs of Yanjing, at the Shangguan Family's military research institute.

Golden shell casings were scattered all over the ground.

However, the people on both sides were acting strangely; neither side had suffered much damage.

Shangguan Qingcang, who was fighting Grim Raven, also seemed to sense something.

The opponent's momentum was massive, but aside from the guy in front of him charging into the heart of the base, the rest were basically just firing shots from a distance.

The Shangguan Family's special forces team fought back using the research institute's buildings as cover.

It looked like a scene of devastation with ruins everywhere, but not a single person had fallen.

Could they have another purpose? Or perhaps they were just testing the defensive strength here today?

Oh no, Shangguan Qingcang realized.

The enemy had come with such aggression and made such a huge scene, but they actually had no intention of snatching the Extraterrestrial Object in the lab.

Their goal was to let everyone know that the Shangguan Family possessed something extremely important.

Or rather, that something extremely important was right here at this Shangguan Family location!

From now on, the Shangguan Family would likely be secretly targeted by many factions.

As expected, Grim Raven understood that killing Shangguan Qingcang in a duel wasn't something he could achieve in a short time.

To win, he would need at least several hundred rounds.

Thus, Grim Raven suddenly used his ghostly movement technique to begin his retreat!

As Grim Raven left, the enemies who had been firing their guns also dropped a row of smoke grenades and vanished into the night.

The Shangguan Family's research institute returned to tranquility in an instant.

Only the concrete and plants shattered by bullets on the scene bore witness to the fierce battle that had just occurred!

Shangguan Qingcang clutched his chest as a group of subordinates ran over.

"General, how are you? Are you injured?"

Shangguan Qingcang shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my physical energy is quite depleted."

He still asked himself: Am I really getting old?

However, he quickly ordered, "Quickly have the 12th 'Sharp Blade' Special Operations Brigade conduct a city-wide search. Such a terrifying killer appearing in Sijiu City—we must root him out."

"Also, find out exactly who attacked us tonight. Their weapons clearly came from the Allied Forces."

"Yes, General, we'll go right away."

The battle in Yanjing had ended.

Over in Qiantang, Su Nange was still locked in a fierce battle with Wei Jingchen.

By now, the two of them had moved deep into the jungle. This caused the Bi Lin Guards to gradually spread out, making mutual support less swift.

Su Nange continued to taunt, "What, are you still planning to fight me one-on-one?"

A soldier's pride prevented Wei Jingchen from backing down, but he also began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

The two fought fiercely for nearly another hundred rounds, and Wei Jingchen's physical stamina finally began to hit a bottleneck.

Meanwhile, Su Nange's freakish endurance allowed him to continue striking with full force.

His agility hadn't dropped in the slightest.

Wei Jingchen was anxious. Was his mission today going to fail?

Could it be that I really have to let the Bi Lin Guards help me? If so, wouldn't I, Wei Jingchen, just be a guy who's all talk?

Su Nange was somewhat speechless. Was this guy Liu Zi from 'Let the Bullets Fly'?

Is face really that important?

However, Su Nange wouldn't sympathize with his opponent. If you want to act tough, I'll make you pay the price.

Su Nange suddenly chuckled. When Wei Jingchen saw it, his heart skipped a beat.

What's wrong with this guy? Why is he smiling like that?

Because Su Nange had no intention of playing around anymore. This moron in front of him looked down on people from the bottom of his heart.

Clearly, so many Bi Lin Guards could have attacked together, yet he insisted on a duel. Are you taking it easy on me, or do you just look down on me?

Su Nange directly activated his Berserk state, and his combat power instantly soared!

Wei Jingchen was stunned. This guy had been hiding his strength the whole time?

Of course Su Nange was hiding it. I was intentionally grinding you down slowly; did you really think you were on the same level as me? Keep dreaming!

I want to show you that I can end the fight whenever I want!

Su Nange threw a heavy punch that seemed to tear through the air, creating what sounded like a sonic boom!

Wei Jingchen raised his arm to block, but felt as if his arm bones were about to shatter!

He was knocked back repeatedly by Su Nange's massive impact.

Wei Jingchen had little stamina left to begin with, and his defense was broken by Su Nange in a single move.

Su Nange wasn't going to give him another chance. Taking advantage of Wei Jingchen's unstable footing...

He charged forward again with full force!

A close-range uppercut slammed into the ribs.

A knee lift followed by a kick locked down the lower body.

Shuffling to the side, an elbow struck the kidney area.

A backhand chop to the neck, followed by a spinning sweep.

The moves were executed in one smooth motion without pause.

Wei Jingchen finally paid the price for his arrogant attitude. He had absolutely no way to counterattack and couldn't block any of Su Nange's strikes!

He could only let Su Nange's fists and feet rain down on him like a violent storm.

The surrounding Bi Lin Guards realized something was wrong! They shouted, "Quick, save General Wei!"

Su Nange thought to himself: Just in time. If you had all attacked together from the start and Wei Jingchen had commanded properly, I would have likely been in dire straits.

But now you only just remembered? Too late.

The first Bi Lin Guard to rush up was immediately neutralized by Su Nange's grappling technique.

The Goose-Feather Saber in his hand was also knocked to the ground as Su Nange gripped his wrist.

Su Nange delivered a direct kick to his backside. "Taste Hero Linghu's 'Butt Backwards, Flat Sand Falling Goose Style'!" Haha.

Then, with a clever flick of his foot, the dropped Goose-Feather Saber flew directly into Su Nange's hand.

Su Nange held the saber across Wei Jingchen's neck. "Come at me again! One more step and I'll kill him!"

The surrounding Bi Lin Guards: "Don't do anything reckless! General Wei is the supreme commander of the 'Imperial Guards'. He is a pillar of China and the final barrier of Yanjing's security!"

"Do you know what will happen to you if you touch him?"

Su Nange looked at the fallen Wei Jingchen. "I didn't expect you to have so many titles! No wonder you're so arrogant!"

"But despite holding such an important post defending the capital, who would have thought you'd become a lackey for the Shangguan Family! Sent to catch a small fry like me."

"Heh, why don't you just not go back then? Let's see who suffers more when the higher-ups demand accountability—me or you!"

Wei Jingchen's internal energy and blood were already in turmoil from Su Nange's beating. Now, being taunted to his face made him even more frustrated; a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Su Nange, you really have guts! But by challenging the Shangguan Family like this, are you really not afraid of death?"

Su Nange chuckled, "I find it hard to believe such words are coming from the mouth of a soldier. It seems I no longer need to have any illusions about you people."

"From start to finish, this whole affair was caused by your young master's aggression. Instead of restraining and disciplining him, you've repeatedly indulged him in bullying a commoner like me."

"Do I not even have the right to resist?"

"Since you want to push me this far, then don't blame me for going for broke! Today, I'll kill you first! Let the Shangguan Family send their Celestial Troops and Generals to catch this Monkey King!"

"Even if your Shangguan Family is powerful, I'll make sure you lose a layer of skin!"

Watching Su Nange raise the blade, Wei Jingchen finally shouted, "Enough! This time, we admit defeat."

But Su Nange had no intention of letting him up.

Under the shocked gazes of all the Bi Lin Guards present, the saber in his hand stabbed into Wei Jingchen's body.

The general, in his forties, let out a cry of pain.

Fortunately, Su Nange's stab wasn't fatal. Enduring the sharp pain, Wei Jingchen was helped up.

He stared intently at Su Nange.

"The matter with Shangguan Fei ends here! But can you guarantee your stance?"

Wei Jingchen suddenly said something baffling!

But Su Nange understood and quickly reacted.

"Didn't I just say? I'm the Monkey King, and Qiantang is my Mount Huaguo. I am myself!"

Wei Jingchen nodded. "Fine, I acknowledge your strength. I will report truthfully to General Shangguan."

Su Nange asked, "Then, these people?"

Wei Jingchen: "They are all Bi Lin Guards; their loyalty to the Shangguan Family is absolute."

Watching Wei Jingchen's back as he was carried away, Su Nange smiled, "Heh, it seems the Shangguan Family and I are indeed locked in a fight to the death!"

Su Nange's phone soon rang; it was Zhou Bingzheng calling personally.

His voice was full of dissatisfaction: "You brat, they already surrendered, why did you have to take things so far?"

"He mocked me, and I couldn't stand it."

"You brat! Now, even I can't protect you!"

Su Nange suddenly pleaded, "Uncle Zhou, you can't just abandon me. You must have a way, right?"

Zhou Bingzheng: "Hmph, I have no way. Now, only the Wen Family can help you."
