Chapter 726 - 724: Death God One
"Who are you? Why did you intercept my car?"
Chen Tianlong didn’t want to talk much with this person. After all, he knew nothing about Chu Jingyun. His sudden appearance and knowledge of Chen Tianlong’s name indicated premeditation.
So, Chen Tianlong had to be wary. He couldn’t easily reveal real information to such a stranger, so he only asked a question in return without directly answering.
"Who am I? Hahaha...."
Chu Jingyun gave a sly smile and continued, "It seems the Lin Wushuang incident wasn’t profound enough for you, huh?"
"So it was you... who exactly are you, and why did you frame Wushuang?" Chen Tianlong, realizing this person was the culprit, almost wanted to rush over and kill him.
But Chen Tianlong did nothing of the sort. First, he had no idea of this person’s strength or identity. Therefore, he had to be cautious with such strangers.
"Who I am is not important. What’s important is, you won’t live much longer." Chu Jingyun gave a cold smile. In fact, he didn’t intend to kill Chen Tianlong, but to test the power of his Death God One.
Chen Tianlong frowned. This person seemed intent on silencing him, trying to kill him upon first meeting. How deep could his hatred be?
So, at this moment, Chen Tianlong didn’t believe he came just to show off. Surely, he was hired to eliminate him at an opportune moment.
"You’ve got quite an attitude, huh? Tell me, who instructed you? I have no quarrel with you, so why do you want to kill me?" Chen Tianlong asked this to probe the background of his opponent and to shift focus onto grievances.
"Haha...a dying man doesn’t need to know too much. Just accept your fate." Chu Jingyun wasn’t a man of many words, and after a few exchanges, they started to fight.
However, before making a move, Chu Jingyun’s lips curled into a cold smile, making Chen Tianlong feel something was amiss.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a shadow appeared in front of Chen Tianlong. This person was the living dead, Death God One, whom Chu Jingyun and Dr. Gao had researched together.
This was a Zodiac Four-Star living dead with all potential powers activated. His defense was below Zodiac Six-Star, possessing Absolute Defense.
Chen Tianlong frowned. Initially, he wanted to bypass this person to test his strength, but suddenly he found himself directly blocked by this figure in black.
Chen Tianlong was stunned. He thought of using Ghost Shadow Step to dodge, but no matter how he moved, the figure in black was always in front of him.
He was very frustrated. This figure seemed to come and go without a trace, indicating incredible speed.
Chen Tianlong assessed the strength of the figure in black and found it to be only Zodiac Four-Star. It frustrated him. How could someone with Zodiac Four-Star capabilities move at such a Heaven-defying speed?
"Kid, if you want to fight me, you’ll first have to get past him, hahaha...."
Chu Jingyun was overjoyed to see Chen Tianlong entangled with Death God One. He didn’t expect the improved version to be even more formidable, so he arrogantly said, "Death God One, take him down."
After hearing the command, Death God One’s eyes filled with murderous intent. This was due to the chip in his chest effectively turning him into a flesh-and-blood robot.
As Chen Tianlong heard this, he focused on the figure in black. From the first glance, he felt something strange. This person’s eyes were dim, yet he seemed to understand their conversation.
Yes, Chen Tianlong wasn’t wrong. Death God One’s brain cells weren’t dead. The chip controlled his brain, quickly analyzing what Chen Tianlong said, and reacting accordingly.
If the chip were destroyed, Death God One might become paralyzed or experience a target error in his attack.
After a little while, Chu Jingyun got into the car and smiled at Dr. Gao inside, saying, "Dr. Gao, what do you think will happen to Chen Tianlong in a bit?"
"Haha, if I’m not mistaken, he’ll be very frustrated. No matter how he fights, he won’t hurt him, yet Death God One will easily finish him with one move," Dr. Gao laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, outside the car, Death God One had begun to operate. His main chip synchronized with Chu Jingyun’s brain. Chu Jingyun’s intention was to eliminate Chen Tianlong. Whether it would succeed, Chu Jingyun had never tried.
After all, people from the Xu Family said Chen Tianlong wasn’t that easy to deal with.
To be safe, Chu Jingyun and Dr. Gao parked the car in a nearby parking space, observing from the vehicle. This ensured they remained within Death God One’s control range and stayed in a safe place.
At this moment, Chu Jingyun was like a spectator watching a good show, ready to escape if anything abnormal happened.
This was his cunning.
Watching this figure who neither spoke nor showed any expression, Chen Tianlong remembered childhood tales from his master Fang Zun about Death Warriors. The scene unfolded just as Fang Zun described—eyes blank yet filled with Fighting Spirit throughout, like a combat machine.
The figure in black began to move, and Chen Tianlong dared not be slow. Having failed to bypass him with Ghost Shadow Step earlier, he stayed on high alert.
The figure in black threw a punch directly at Chen Tianlong without any flashy techniques, straightforward like a street brawl with real fists and legs.
Chen Tianlong realized it wasn’t professional—likely someone hastily caught, transformed with unknown drugs.
Admittedly, this person was originally a death row inmate, not a cultivator. He became one after Chu Jingyun gave him a Small Qi Gathering Pill, breaking through to Zodiac One-Star. Then, using self-developed drugs, his bodily potential was forcibly stimulated to reach Zodiac Four-Star.
Not everyone can break through to Zodiac Four-Star; it depends on physique—the better the physique, the higher the limit of potential strength. If someone with Chen Tianlong’s physique were experimented on, it would be disastrous.
Chen Tianlong frowned, did a backflip, and kicked out smoothly like a flow of water. However, he didn’t exert much force with this kick; it was a simple move to dodge.
The figure in black was hit in the chest, took a few steps back, then stood firmly as if nothing happened, attacking again.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was quite frustrated. This person clearly wasn’t afraid of death. How could he know it was a Death Warrior with some degree of consciousness?
