Swish~
A black spear traced a beautiful arc, shooting towards the giant purple-red tentacle.
The tentacle monster was more alert than before and seemed more awake; it had already sensed something when Chen Tiannan and others were just approaching.
Before the spear could get close, it was swatted away by the tentacle.
This strike didn’t possess particular force, resembling more a provocation—a human provocation towards the monster.
The tentacle monster indeed got enraged, swinging its tentacles towards the human who provoked it, the thick purple-red tentacles repeatedly smashed the ground, forming deep pits and cracks, breaking the street into pieces.
The man in the leather trench coat had a second spear appear in his hand, which he threw at the tentacle monster; this throw was even faster, and the subtle light flickering on the spear traced an arc like a falling star, surprisingly piercing the tentacle, the splashing purple liquid quickly corroding the spear.
"It’s got some force, huh."
As the tentacle monster approached, the man turned and ran, his figure transformed into a remnant shadow darting along the street, his speed slightly outpacing even the tentacle monster.
He was Mo Qingyan, the fastest Extraordinary in Ximen Long’s team, with his shadows almost unreachable for enemies in most battles.
At this moment.
The One-Eyed Bald and others were also near the tentacle monster’s area; sensing the commotion from this place, they knew someone was attempting to extract the tentacle monster’s blood, and rushed over.
They had resolved to seize the Divine Creature’s blood from others’ hands.
This was the safest approach.
Although they had a chance to obtain the blood from the Divine Creature directly, significant losses were certain, along with the possibility of others taking advantage of them.
To avoid being exploited, they chose to be the ones to exploit.
"Let’s go, since they’re taking action, we might as well go as well." The One-Eyed Bald sensed the commotion and cheerfully remarked, "This time, don’t mess around anymore, victory is ours."
His severed left hand had been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic; though not as efficient as the original, it sufficed to prevent combat effectiveness from declining too much.
The Black Snake Hand lazily rose from the ground, yawning as he said:
"Wrong, isn’t it? Those Law Enforcers were just tricked by us, they’ll surely be on guard; aren’t we worried about them doing the same again?"
The Black Rose was no longer here, seemingly abandoned, after all, a corpse doesn’t last long.
The One-Eyed Bald shook his head, disagreeing with the notion, saying: "Not necessarily, those guys are stubborn as hell, all a bunch of lunatics, maybe they just want a timing advantage over us."
Everyone is stubborn, only believing what they are willing to believe; this is the essence of gamblers.
They split into two teams, approaching the tentacle monster from different directions, acting as the opportunity arose.
Su Changxing, through the zombies on the street, clearly grasped the situation in the entire area; it seemed Chen Tiannan and others were not preparing to engage the tentacle monster directly but rather to draw the other people out via the tentacle monster.
This boils down to hatred.
Conflicts arise from disputes over interests, hatred breeds from conflicts, and hatred leads to irrational slaughter.
Chen Tiannan and others planned to take care of the crazies before dealing with the Divine Creature.
Bang~
The sound of firearms exploded beside the ears.
When Black Snake Hand and others approached, Chen Tiannan led his people to suddenly rush out, firing from over ten meters away; accompanied by the explosive sparks, dozens of tiny steel pellets were shot, causing great carnage, wounding three people, one of them having his jaw shattered.
"As expected—a trap, I told you so."
Black Snake Hand saw Chen Tiannan’s appearance, showing a face of realization yet unfazed, "Brought reinforcements for revenge, huh? Haha, the taste of that woman was still exquisite; even if you kill me, it’s worth it!"
As he spoke, he started laughing, showing an expression of enjoyment, appearing sickly.
"Scumbag, people like you will fall sooner or later, even if they become an Extraordinary!" Chen Tiannan, listening to the other’s sarcastic remarks, couldn’t restrain his inner fury and rushed forward, numerous golden sand particles shooting towards Black Snake Hand.
Black Snake Hand intended to escape but found four or five people blocking their retreat route, a more sinister smile emerged, the horizontal lines of his tattoo flowed:
"Looks like you truly want to kill me here, well then, I won’t stand on ceremony!"
"I have always believed I’m strong, but no one believes me. Primarily, those who believe are dead."
"Chen Tiannan, do you really think I’m afraid of you? I was just playing along; you took it seriously!"
"Hahaha!"
As he spoke.
He put on a white, shattered ghost-faced mask, muttering something under his breath, four black ghost shadows appeared around; one ghost shadow bore some resemblance to Black Rose, maintaining the same beauty while possessing the hideous and horrific nature of the ghost face.
"I have long been different from all of you..." Black Snake Hand arrogantly stated, stroking the ghost face belonging to Black Rose with his left hand, his voice becoming effeminate, as if he changed into another person.
A terrifying, oppressive aura spread from him as the center.
Chen Tiannan’s eyes widened, witnessing something unbelievable: "You’ve accepted the Divine Inheritance!"
He sensed a familiar aura, yet had never heard of other humans obtaining the Divine Inheritance.
