Chapter 161: Defeat the Enemy with One Move
"Order?!"
Zhao Kui seemed to have heard a huge joke. He turned his head suddenly and locked his eyes on me. The next second, he slammed the table hard, shaking everything on it.
Then Zhao Kui laughed strangely and said, "I refuse to accept this! The Black Dragon Gang's rules are that the bigger fist has the final say! You want to be second in command? Sure!"
He turned around and took a step towards me and stood in front of me. Zhao Kui was a big man, a full head taller than me. His shiny bald head looked even shinier under the electric lights in the conference room.
"Beat me! As long as you can hold out for three minutes, I'll take this position!" He grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth, and said with a fierce smile, "If you can't hold out... hehe, according to the gang rules, the loser of the challenge will be punished regardless of life or death!"
His murderous intent was blatant and undisguised. He didn't want to give me a chance to "last three minutes"; he wanted to crush me in public, defend his position in the most bloody way possible, and slap Bai Zang's face hard at the same time.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point. Everyone held their breath, their eyes flicking back and forth between Zhao Kui and me. Bai Zang's brows furrowed, his hands clenched slightly on the table, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He was waiting for my reaction.
I met Zhao Kui's fierce gaze and nodded casually. My mind was racing: It wouldn't be hard to defeat him, but if I simply tried to defeat him, someone would always come and challenge me, which would be a waste of time. My goal was to secure this position and spread my faith.
Therefore, what I need is a shock, a complete crushing, and a "miracle" that will make all doubters shut up instantly.
"Let's go, see you at the training ground downstairs." I waved my hand, and in everyone's stunned gaze, I turned around and went downstairs first. Zhao Kui snorted coldly and followed closely behind me.
The others looked at each other in confusion, and finally followed silently with their own thoughts.
Inside the training ground.
"One move."
I raised a finger and said to him, "I'll only use one move. If you can take it, I'll leave the Black Dragon Gang immediately. If you can't..."
I paused, the corners of my mouth curling up involuntarily: "Just follow your rules, regardless of life or death."
Oh my god——!
The hall was in an uproar.
"Is she crazy?!"
"One move? Brother Zhao has a stone skin and has awakened his abilities. Can this woman do it?"
"Is this woman looking for death? How could the boss..."
"Maybe the boss did it on purpose. He didn't want to take her in, so he just found this excuse to kill her... What a pity. She was quite pretty."
Even Hakuzo narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slightly.
Zhao Kui was stunned at first, then he burst into deafening laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Hahaha! Great! Crazy enough! I want to see how you kill me in one move!"
He suddenly tore off the tattered vest on his upper body, revealing his burly figure. His muscles were as hard as iron and covered with various wounds.
"Come on, little bitch! Let me see what your fancy clothes can do!"
Roaring, he rushed forward like an uncontrolled battering ram, carrying a whirlwind of blood, at a speed belying his size! His massive fist tore through the air, slamming into my head with immense force! This punch was devoid of any gimmicks; it was a pure display of strength and brutality. If I resisted it head-on, I'd probably be sent flying.
A strong wind blew against my face, ruffling my hair. The air seemed to thicken under Zhao Kui's furious charge.
Not only did he use all his strength, but he also made part of the space around me illusory. This should be the effect of his mirror-like eyes.
But...his ability to awaken was also due to my previous "blessing", I am familiar with this.
The next second, his body froze in a sprint! Ji Ling vanished from his sight! In its place was the boundless, cold, and deadly silence of the universe! Countless gigantic, indifferent star-like eyes opened in the void, gazing at him mercilessly with inhuman will! An irresistible, terrifying pressure, emanating from the very essence of his soul, crashed down like billions of stars! He felt as small as dust, his body, soul, and will crumbling and freezing beneath that gaze!
Theoretically, I simply replaced my original position with a mirror image, and then created a large-scale illusion that everyone present could see. This did not require the use of the Illusion Crystal to maintain it, and could be done solely with my own power, without any negative effects.
To put it bluntly, it was just an illusion to scare him.
But judging from the current situation, it is useful.
"Ugh... Aa ...
Not only him, but everyone else present also fell to the ground and trembled. Even Bai Zang looked unhappy, and he clenched his teeth to prevent himself from kneeling on the ground.
Only half a minute had passed.
Half a minute later, the training ground returned to its original state, and the training ground was dead silent.
Fear, like icy seawater, instantly overwhelmed everyone present. Their gazes shifted drastically as they looked at the figure in the center of the arena, who had merely shifted positions. They were no longer looking at a "woman of some ability," but at an incomprehensible, terrifying being walking the human world! This power completely exceeded their understanding of "evolvers"!
This... this wasn't a battle at all! This was a one-sided, divinely punished crushing defeat!
Bai Zang slowly took two steps forward, shock still lingering on his face, but deep in his eyes, an almost fanatical understanding and... awe burned.
He clearly "saw" it the moment Ji Ling raised her hand. That familiar, cold, vast aura emanating from "Lord of the Starry Sky"! Though faint, they shared the same essence! Ji Ling... she was Lord of the Starry Sky's messenger in the mortal realm! The "key" and "guide" bestowed upon him and the Black Dragon Gang by the gods!
I saw all of Bai Zang's expressions.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and swept his eyes over the silent crowd, finally landing on Zhao Kui, who was curled up on the ground, almost mentally collapsed. His voice was calm and cold, with unquestionable authority:
"The winner has been decided. From this moment on, Ji Ling is the deputy leader of the Black Dragon Gang! Meeting the deputy leader is like meeting me! Anyone who questions or offends me again..." He paused, his cold eyes swept across the audience, and everyone subconsciously lowered their heads.
"Gang rules!"
