With the Black Tower fallen, the entire area fell into a deathly silence, as if a mute button had been pressed.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood, which irritated Lu Zhaoming's nerves.
He cautiously looked around, his Eye of Judgment operating at high speed, scanning every corner and not missing a single suspicious energy fluctuation.
"Lu Zhaoming, you really didn't disappoint me."
From the shadows, a deep voice broke the eerie silence, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, cold and full of malice.
Lu Zhaoming's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in a spotless white robe slowly walking out.
The white robe has a classic design, but in this post-apocalyptic world, it's practically an anomaly.
His face wore a chilling smile, a smile brimming with confidence, mockery, and a hint of morbid madness.
“White robe…” Lu Zhaoming’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
He knew that the real villain had finally shown up.
"Heh, it seems you already know my name." The white-robed man chuckled dismissively, as if everything was under his control.
"But what good is knowing the name? You think defeating a Black Tower will stop me? How naive!"
Lu Zhaoming's eyes sharpened as he sensed the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from the white-robed man, knowing that this guy was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood within him, and said coldly, "What do you want to do? Reset the world order? Don't be ridiculous. Your so-called order is nothing but an excuse to slaughter survivors!"
"An excuse? No, this is no excuse, it's inevitable!" The white-robed man's expression turned fanatical, like a pyramid scheme leader.
"This world is corrupt and needs a complete purification! Only through the 'Annihilation Matrix' can everything be reduced to zero and a perfect order be re-established! And I am the creator of this new world!"
"This guy is insane!" Lu Zhaoming spat, thinking that his brain must have been damaged by radiation.
He glanced at Qinglian and Afu not far away, signaling them to be careful.
"Crazy? Heh, maybe." The man in white shrugged, completely unconcerned about Lu Zhaoming's assessment.
"However, history is written by the victors. Lu Zhaoming, you can't stop me! Why not join me and create this new world together! I can give you everything you want: power, status, even... immortality!"
"I have no interest in being a pervert." Lu Zhaoming sneered, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Want to restart the world? You'll have to get past me first!"
"Stubborn fool!" The white-robed man's face instantly darkened. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite! White Fox!"
At the command of the white-robed man, a white figure appeared behind Lu Zhaoming like a ghost.
It was a pure white fox with cold and cunning eyes, radiating a strange energy fluctuation.
It approached Lu Zhaoming silently, its sharp claws gleaming coldly, aiming straight for the back of his neck!
Good grief, a sneak attack?
Lu Zhaoming felt a chill run down his spine as his Eye of Judgment instantly caught the white fox's movements.
It turns out this guy is a master of illusion; no wonder we hadn't noticed his presence before.
He sneered, thinking to himself, "You think you can fool me with such a petty trick?"
You've underestimated the Eye of Judgment!
Just as the white fox's claws were about to touch Lu Zhaoming's neck, he suddenly turned around, and an energy shield instantly condensed in his hand.
"Bang!"
The white fox's sharp claws slammed into the energy shield with a muffled thud.
It recoiled in pain and retreated.
"You reacted quite quickly." A hint of surprise appeared on the white-robed man's face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"But do you think this will stop the white fox? You're too naive!"
Lu Zhaoming ignored the white-robed man's provocation and quickly instructed Qinglian and Afu: "Qinglian, Afu, hold that fox back! Don't let it get close!"
Qinglian and Afu immediately understood and released their respective supernatural abilities to attack the white fox.
Qinglian's auxiliary ability can interfere with the white fox's movements, while Afu, with his agile skills, constantly harasses it.
Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, the white fox quickly retreated to the side of the white-robed man, and the two formed a pincer movement, surrounding Lu Zhaoming in the middle.
"Their teamwork is flawless; we can't fight them head-on!" Professor Lin's voice came from the side, his tone full of worry.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that the situation was very unfavorable.
Both the white-robed figure and the white fox are formidable, and their teamwork is excellent; a direct confrontation would be unwise.
"It seems we have no choice but to outsmart them," Lu Zhaoming thought to himself.
His eyes swept over the destroyed "Annihilation Matrix" not far away, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.
He deliberately slowed down his attack, making his movements appear sluggish, as if he had exhausted his strength.
At the same time, he deliberately exposed some openings to lure the white-robed man and the white fox into launching an attack.
"Hehe, it seems you're no longer up to the task." A smug smile appeared on the white-robed man's face.
"Lu Zhaoming, your end is nigh!"
Just when the man in white thought victory was assured, Lu Zhaoming suddenly erupted.
He suddenly mobilized all the energy in his body and frantically poured it into the Eye of Judgment.
The Eye of Judgment burst forth with dazzling light, and waves of energy surged out like a tide, enveloping everything around it.
