Mu Chaoran only smiled after hearing Gu Zhengrong’s words of mockery. He didn’t get angry. He only asked because he felt it was unfortunate for a talented individual like Gu Zhengrong to befall in a doomed organization. Gu Zhengrong would be his opponent since he was keen on following his organization to the bitter end.

The three of them seemed to all have the same idea. The entire forest was silent for a short while. Then in the next second, all three of them sent out a terrifying domain energy wave which were of the lightning, fire and earth element.

Faced with the two of the strongest offensive elements in the domain stage, Gu Zhengrong had no choice but to give up on using the lightning domain he had copied and returned to using what he was proficient in, the earth domain. Additionally, the defensive properties of the earth domain was the strongest. In a two versus one fight, he would die a horrible death if he was to attack carelessly.

One purple purple lightning bolt and one flaming arrow hit a mud wall. The collision between all three elements caused an explosion to occur. As the dust settled, three silhouettes flew towards three different directions. Two of them landed firmly on the ground while the third one stood his ground only after taking many steps backwards.

“Ugh!” Gu Zhengrong, who had just managed to stand firmly on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood with a pained expression on his face.

Tang Ningyu’s domain was already stronger than Gu Zhengrong’s domain. It was impossible for Gu Zhengrong to not be injured after taking a hit from the combined attacks of Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. Gu Zhengrong knew his situation very well. He didn’t want to fight, but he had no choice but to fight. He wanted to run, but the two people standing in front of him would not give him a chance to run.

However, it didn’t mean he didn’t have a chance to live. This forest was near his headquarters so as long as he could hold on until those at the headquarters discovers his situation, they would send reinforcements to save him, then he would be able to live. After that, he would be repaying the two people who were standing before him in blood.

Gu Zhengrong desperately tried to prolong the fight, but sadly Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran weren’t idiots. They quickly discovered Gu Zhengrong’s plan. The two of them looked at each other and understood what they needed to do.

Purple lightning began to crackle around Tang Ningyu’s body, while Mu Chaoran became a dragon made of fire, and they danced around with one another, they looked like they were combining into double coloured spiral bolt.

The two of them prepared to use their most powerful attack to try to kill their opponent right there.

Gu Zhengrong’s expression became complicated, and he was quite anxious. Why hadn’t reinforcements arrived? What happened to the headquarters?

At that moment, a dozen black-suited individuals appeared outside the gate and successfully killed the two guards at the gate.

The leader of the group in black looked around at his comrades and said in a serious manner, “Our comrades helped us lure those domain experts away. We have to use this chance. Once we enter the inner parts of this headquarters, we have to be ready to give up our lives if necessary.”

“Yes, captain!” The men dressed in black shouted in unison. At that moment another man that was dressed in black, who stood beside the door, shouted, “I got it.” The gate opened and a pitch-black darkness appeared behind it which seemingly able to swallow light.

“Go inside!” The captain lead the dozen of men in black and headed into the darkness without any hesitation. Not long after, there were sounds of gunshots being fired from within...

“Beep beep beep...” The entire headquarters’s alarm had gone off! The originally quiet and orderly headquarters instantly got into a state of panic.

The boss of the headquarters heard the alarm ringing in his room and had a serious expression on his face, “What were those domain experts doing out there? How have intruders gotten into my headquarters?” He immediately ran out and went towards the surveillance room.

In the surveillance room, the video feed of the gate showed that men in black suits had already taken over the entrance. The guards there couldn’t do anything, and were all defeated. The men in black got into inner areas of the headquarters, but of course, they also had a few casualties during the battle.

As for the situation outside of the gate, they were none the wiser as to ensure hackers couldn’t get in from the outside, there weren’t any surveillance equipment in the forest area. Now, their decision came back to bite them in the back.

“Sh*t, finish off these invaders.” Did they actually think the powers that protected the headquarters were only those domain experts?

“Yes, boss!” This order was sent out from their boss which caused the entire headquarters to move out. They wanted to quickly get rid of these invaders.

At that moment, the deputy beside the headquarters’ boss softly asked, “Boss, should we notify Elder Hong?”

The boss of the headquarters glared at him and said, “You think we should ask Elder Hong for such a small problem?”

The deputy immediately nodded and didn’t dare to say another word?

“Right, where’s Young Master Rong?”

“He’s still in the forest and hasn’t notified us...” The deputy immediately answered.

The boss frowned. He was quite worried about the fact there wasn’t any information coming from Gu Zhengrong.

Right at that moment, the boss’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately ran out of the surveillance room. He jumped around and reached the square of the headquarters and looked at the gate of the headquarters with a serious expression.

The deputy stumbled out of the surveillance room and ran to the square with tired and audible pants. After seeing his boss just standing there and gazing at the gate, he shouted in a confused tone, “Boss, what’s wrong?”

“Elder Hong has moved out,” the boss said that and jumped once again. He then reached the gate of the headquarters. The deputy couldn’t help but stumble downwards and follow in his boss’s footsteps...

Around the entrance of the headquarters, a dozen men in black had already been grounded to dust by a strong domain. There were only pools of blood everywhere. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had seen the invaders with his own eyes, he might have even thought that the video feed he saw earlier was fake.

“Ah, they’re all dead,” the deputy saw a pool of blood and shouted excitedly.

“If Elder Hong was to make a move, why would he leave any of them alive?” The boss knew very well how terrifying Elder Hong could be. It was just that Elder Hong had made a move not because there were invaders, otherwise he wouldn’t leave the headquarters. There was only one possibility that could make Elder Hong leave the headquarters and go somewhere. That was if Young Master Rong was in danger.

“It seems that we can’t keep this headquarters anymore.” If even Young Master Rong was in danger, that meant the investigators the Federation sent were not standard soldiers and were real experts. The reason the Federation escalated it was possibly because they had strong evidence in their hands. Even if things were to get hairy, they weren’t afraid of public outbursts.

“We’ve hardly operated for a few years...” The Boss felt that it was unfortunate. He now hoped that Elder Hong could take out the experts sent by the military, scaring the military to not dare to send anymore of their forces out. Then, they would be able to easily relocate their headquarters to a different location.

Inside the forest, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran finally completed the preparations of their final move. They waved their hands almost simultaneously.

A lighting dragon and fire dragon flew out from Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. The dragons opened their mouths and ruthlessly waited for Gu Zhengrong’s head.

At Gu Zhengrong’s position, the earth suddenly rose up and wrapped around his body, creating a sand coffin.

“Bomb! Bomb!” The continuous collision between the two large dragons and the sand coffin created deafening sounds. When the two dragons noticed that they weren’t breaking through the sand coffin, they raised their heads and ruthlessly collided with it once again.

“Boom!””Boom!”

“Boom!””Boom!”

Every time they collided, the two dragons grew in size. Behind them, their masters, had pale expression on their faces. It seems the powerful attack made them deplete their domain’s energy reserves.

“Break through!” Mu Chaoran suddenly shouted. As though it had felt its master’s willpower and spiritual pressure, the large fire dragon lifted its head and ruthlessly collided with the sand coffin once again.

Although Tang Ningyu didn’t make a sound, his lightning dragon also crashed into the sand coffin in a similar manner.

The two large dragons crashed into the sand coffin almost simultaneously. “Bang!” A terrifying explosion shook the entire forest area. In the center of the explosion, countless dust particles filled the air. In the end, Gu Zhengrong’s real body was exposed.

The energy in the lightning and fire dragons were not completely depleted yet. They gathered up once again and shot towards Gu Zhengrong...

“Ah!” After a cry of agony, the two dragons went straight through Gu Zhengrong’s body after his defenses were down. The two dragons, that finally depleted their energy, disappeared into the air without a trace.

Gu Zhengrong who stood at that location began to spit out vast amounts of blood. His eyes were wide open. In the end, he still get any reinforcements...

Suddenly, the body parts below Gu Zhengrong’s chest area turned to dust. Half of his torso and his head fell to the ground. Faced with the burns from the fire element and the destructive force of the lightning element, Gu Zhengrong was already lucky that he still had his head intact.

Gu Zhengrong, who fell to the ground, was still not willing to close his eyes as if he was unwilling to die.

Seeing this, Mu Chaoran couldn’t help but sigh, “This guy isn’t bad and has good talent... Just unfortunate.” If back then, he wasn’t taken in by that organization, Gu Zhengrong would probably have been one of their team members and not their enemy.

“That’s fate,” Tang Ningyu said calmly.

Right as Mu Chaoran was about to say something, Tang Ningyu’s expression suddenly changed, and he carried Mu Chaoran as he ran wildly towards the exit of the forest area.

Ling Lan, who had been watching the fight the entire time, also had a small change in her expression. She moved slightly and left the place she was hiding in. It was just that when she left, she took a look at Gu Zhengrong’s head that was left on the ground and was somewhat doubtful of it.

Right as Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran left the scene, the place where they stood had a person appearing. That person had a head full of white hair with an older appearance similar to an elder who had already experienced life to its fullest.

On the ground, Gu Zhengrong’s head that was left on the ground suddenly spoke, “Elder Hong, if you came any later, then I would really be dead.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master Rong. As long as your mind isn’t destroyed, then you’re immortal.” Elder Hong held up Gu Zhengrong’s head and snapped his fingers. Then, a person came down from the sky.

“Take Young Master Rong to the laboratory and give him a new body,” Elder Hong ordered.

“Yes, Elder Hong!” The person who came to them carefully took Gu Zhengrong’s head from Elder Hong.

“Elder Hong, are you going to chase those two?” Asked Gu Zhengrong.

“Of course, since they dare to wound Young Master Rong, then they must pay accordingly.” Elder Hong’s face had a face full of killing intent.

“Alright, but keep them alive. I want to kill them myself.” Gu Zhengrong had savage look on his face. Although he could change his body, that was still his own body. It was destroyed just like that. How could he not hate them?
