Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 588 - Phantom Bear Exits the Cage

Chapter 588: Phantom Bear Exits the Cage

The question stunned Su Lun for a long time.

Clearly, he had not thought of this fatal flaw when he set the trap.

He thought about it for a long time before he stuttered, “Perhaps Meng Chao was heavily injured at that time and his fighting strength had plummeted. That’s why he fought on equal grounds with Xiong Yin?”

“If it’s as you said and Meng Chao is a despicable traitor who long since joined the abnormal beasts and was absolutely unharmed during the explosion of the Deification Capsule pharmacy but only pretended to be injured to lure in and kill Bullet Xue Rui as well as almost kill Snake Eye Mo Lan, how could there be a chance for this schemer who has been lurking in the dark to be heavily injured?” Xiong Wei said coldly. “Besides, if Meng Chao were really heavily injured, his grip on the saber should have been weak.

“You should know that b.l.o.o.d.y Soul is a heavy saber embedded with high-grade crystals. You need a lot of strength and spirit energy to keep it stable.

“If he were heavily injured, even if he was able to wield b.l.o.o.d.y Soul, his cuts would be chaotic, and the wounds would vary in terms of depth.

“But Xiong Ying’s wounds were practically perfect in terms of angle, strength, and depth. It’s proof that the wielder had masterful control over his weapon.”

Su Lun found himself speechless.

“Meng Chao killed a Tyrant Mammoth a few days ago. Some of the parts from this h.e.l.l Beast were transferred to the black market controlled by Black Bone, and Ms. Lu’s mobile computer had a video of the fight. I slowed it down ten times and observed it carefully, and I have to admit, after training for three months in the wild, he has already far exceeded the level of a superhuman who has just entered Heaven Realm. He can now be considered a true first-cla.s.s fighter,” Xiong Wei said. “Let’s recall what has happened. Based on what you said, Meng Chao first appeared at the borders of Leprosy Village to attract our attention, then set up ambushes in the underground maze before killing Rattlesnake Xiang Wei and my son.

“In other words, Xiong Ying should have been caught off guard and ambushed by Meng Chao.

“Even though I would hope that my son could create miracles, logic is telling me that my son wouldn’t even last three seconds if ambushed by a first-cla.s.s fighter who managed to kill a Tyrant Mammoth by himself, much less fight for a long time against said ambusher, which would lead to so many wounds.

“Let me tell you something, even Rattlesnake Xiang Wei didn’t have so many wounds. The ambusher first used a chain saber to crush Xiang Wei’s neck, then pierced his spine, causing it to explode. The blade just pierced his chest. The ambusher killed Xiang Wei like he was slaughtering a chicken and didn’t give him a chance to struggle.

“Rattlesnake Xiang Wei is considered a veteran fighter in the lair, and he was killed in seconds. So why did my son die in such a dragged out fashion?”

Su Lun opened his mouth as if he wanted to defend himself but knew it would be in vain.

“Don’t you dare tell me that Xiong Ying was tortured before being killed,” Xiong Wei said coldly. “First, my son doesn’t have any personal grudges with Meng Chao. What reason would there be to stab Xiang Wei to death but use nearly one hundred slashes to kill my son?

“Second, at that time, a large group of gang members were rushing over to join the fight. Meng Chao wouldn’t have had the time nor the mood to torture my son.”

Su Lun was silent for a long time before he sighed. “Then, I don’t think I can give you any reason.”

“To conclude, Xiong Ying was indeed killed by Meng Chao, but it’s impossible for Meng Chao to have required nearly one hundred slashes to kill him. This is a serious problem that I noticed once I personally examined my son’s body.” Xiong Wei gritted his teeth. “Red Brows Su Lun, you might be smart and have managed to obtain a method to get stronger quickly, like some mutation similar to using Deification Capsules, after betraying your friends, your gang, and Dragon City, but unfortunately, you can’t rely on strength alone to become a good fighter.

“Lair citizens might be inferior to the elites who learned in schools when it comes to our strength on paper, but all the people here are lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who managed to survive hundreds of battles and fought their way through mountains of corpses.

“Before we learned how to speak, we learned how to use sabers. We slaughtered our way out from the other greedy lair citizens and became gang leaders. Every one of us has more than one hundred scars.

“To you, scars are just scars. But to us, wounds are a page of a book, a picture, and a scream. Dozens of wounds can form a truth, and it’s the truth that you’ve been trying your best to hide!”

When Su Lun heard this, he was finally unable to hold back from vomiting on the floor.

“So, you’ve been suspecting me all along?” he mumbled.

“That’s right. Since even before Ms. Lu came here, I’ve been suspecting you,” Xiong Wei said. “The reason is simple: You’ve been mentioning that Xiong Ying accidentally heard you give the order to kill Meng Chao and wanted to take credit to earn respect from me. That’s why he took action to help Rattlesnake Xiang Wei.

“Hmph, you’re a smart and cautious person. If you didn’t intentionally let him do whatever he wanted and even instigated his actions, would Xiong Ying have heard you and your subordinates?

“There were three people sent to kill Meng Chao, Xiang Wei, Xiong Ying, and Song Jinbo. They were never the best combination to begin with, but now, two of them are dead and one is missing. When a person is dead, they can’t be a witness. You can say whatever you want when it comes to how they died!

“From the moment I discovered that there was something strange about Xiong Ying’s death, I became highly suspicious of you.

“I didn’t kill those Red Crowned Speed Dragon Kings in the cage in the coliseum to vent my sadness over losing my son, but to suppress my anger. I squashed all my anger into the depths of my heart so that I wouldn’t show it on my face.

“And it was all because I knew that there was something wrong with you, but I couldn’t kill you straight away! I could only humor you and try to look for clues about your crimes!”

After saying this, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei was finally unable to control himself.

He let out a roar and swung his arms. With two loud bangs, he left behind two clear and large palm prints on the walls that were around eight meters away from him.

“Ms. Lu told me that she noticed something off about you, and I agreed to it wholeheartedly. That’s why we decided to work together.” Xiong Wei’s eyes started bleeding, which made him look as ferocious as a demon. He left behind deep footprints on the floor with each step he took as he closed in on Su Lun.

“I’m sorry for disappointing you. Even if I didn’t know whether Meng Chao was innocent or not, I wouldn’t have fought against him with everything I had or killed him the moment I saw him, because I had to ask him a crucial question: Why did you fight against my son for so long?

“But of course, now, I don’t need Meng Chao to give me the answer.

“Thank you for telling me the truth, Red Brows Su Lun. I’ve finally found the real killer and can help Xiong Ying rest in peace!”

Even Meng Chao and Lu Siya could sense the resentful killing intent from Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.

At that moment, it was as if he had really turned into his moniker and was a rampaging bear that crawled out of h.e.l.l, even though he was only skin and bones as well as rage.

Meng Chao even felt as if Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s pores had opened up like the gates of h.e.l.l. Xiong Ying and countless ghosts lurking in the netherworld all charged out so that they could take revenge for themselves through him.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya shuddered.

They instinctively stuck close to each other and sensed the gooseb.u.mps on the other’s flesh.

They were only onlookers, but they were so intimidated by Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s presence that they could not open their eyes.

As for Su Lun, he was even more terrified, because he had to face the livid Xiong Wei.

Even if his brain was moving at high speeds because he was anxiously searching for a way to survive, he had lost control over his organs and limbs, and he kept making a fool of himself.

“W-Wait! Gang Leader Xiong, listen to me! You can’t kill me! I surrender, I sur—”

His pleas for mercy were instantly drowned out by his screams.

Xiong Wei stomped on his right foot and crushed it, along with the armor that surrounded it.

Then, with a second stomp, he crushed his ankle.

After that was the lower half of his calf.

It was followed by the upper half of his calf.

Very soon, the area below Su Lun’s right knee was gone.

It was as if it was devoured by a hungry ghost from h.e.l.l.

Su Lun was in so much pain that he nearly fainted.

But Xiong Wei injected a wisp of spirit energy into his b.l.o.o.d.y wounds so that he would stay awake. He would not be able to die even if he wanted to, but neither would he be able to live properly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die, at the very least, not now.” Xiong Wei crouched down and smiled savagely. He drew closer to Su Lun and whispered, “You should remember how I said I wanted to deal with Meng Chao, right? Let me tell you a secret. At that time, I might have been talking about Meng Chao, but I was thinking about cutting you into pieces!”

His anger had not faded away yet. He slapped Su Lun, and half of his teeth were gone from the strength of that slap.

“S-Save me…”

Su Lun’s head rolled to the side powerlessly, and he begged for mercy from Meng Chao and Lu Siya incoherently. “I surrender. You can’t kill me. I can help you capture the Vortex. I know a lot of secrets about the monster civilization! I’m willing to cast aside darkness and join the light!”

Meng Chao and Lu Siya ignored him and did not move.

Then, Xiong Wei repeated his actions and crushed Su Lun’s left leg into a pulp as well. Su Lun’s throat was about to tear from all the screaming, and it was only then that Meng Chao went forward. “Gang Leader Xiong, that’s enough.”

Xiong Wei turned around and cast a cold glance at Meng Chao.

“Brat, are you ordering me around?” Black Bone’s gang leader asked with a savage look. “Even though Xiong Ying fell for the enemy’s scheme, you’re still the one who killed him. I’m only barely restraining my urge to hit you, and it is my limit. If you ask for more, I’m going to kill you too!”

“Gang Leader Xiong, if you’re really interested in sparring, I’ll naturally entertain you once the storm calms down in the lair,” Meng Chao said, refusing to relent. “But don’t you think that the true culprit who killed your son is still walking around freely?

“After all, I was deceived, and Su Lun was just an accomplice. The one who truly controlled Xiong Ying so that he would die by my hand is the abnormal beast, Vortex.

“You’ll definitely be able to vent some of your hatred if you cut Su Lun into pieces, but if you capture the Vortex and cut it into pieces as well, won’t you be able to vent even more of your hatred?”
