Wang Chenyang was terrified, but it was useless. What needed to be revealed was revealed.
His entire body was violently thrown to the ground, unable to turn into liquid. The hand he intended to draw his weapon with was immediately pinned to the ground by a leather boot.
The bones in his entire hand made a crackling sound.
It had been directly broken.
Wang Chenyang let out an unavoidable cry of pain.
A very cold smile played on Duan Chen's lips.
He carelessly lifted his foot and kicked Wang Chenyang in the abdomen, his expression impatient.
"Enough, stop pretending. You're putting on a good show, but as a parasitic sea demon, how can you feel pain from your host's suffering?"
The man lying on the ground instantly turned grim.
He looked coldly at Duan Chen, clearly not expecting Duan Chen to have gathered this much intelligence.
Wang Chenyang bit his lip tightly and slowly got up. Ignoring his now limp, marshmallow-like hand, he stared intently at Duan Chen, imprinting Duan Chen's face into his mind.
"What do you want? Do you want money? Or are you angry about being deceived? Or do you want more power?"
"Whatever you want, we can give it to you. Why are we fighting amongst ourselves here? It's just a misunderstanding, like the Dragon King's temple flooded by our own water. We're all family. We could have sat down and talked peacefully, don't you think?"
Even now, Wang Chenyang, though not believing reconciliation was possible, was making a last-ditch effort.
If reconciliation failed, given the current situation, they would definitely be in trouble.
This man before him...
He couldn't tell if he was human or a ghost.
It wasn't about his race, but rather, he couldn't ascertain the combat power level of this man called Bai Se.
Although Bai Se claimed to be comparable to a senior agent, what Wang Chenyang felt was far beyond that of a senior agent.
He was much stronger than a senior agent.
In fact, he felt... the spiritual energy within this man, who called himself Bai Se, was like a vast ocean, its depths impossible to fathom.
Standing in that ocean, he felt like a tiny, solitary boat, easily capsized by a single wave.
He couldn't help but shiver.
Duan Chen's smile was playful.
"You actually think we can talk things over now?"
He let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with a chilling, sharp expression that made one's blood run cold.
"Talk? You're dreaming!"
"Ever since the sea demons slaughtered my entire family, I have had no common ground to discuss with any of you sea demons."
"My efforts until now have been solely for the day when I can eradicate all of you sea demons from this world, letting you all turn to dust!"
Wang Chenyang's heart sank. He looked at Duan Chen, at the expression on his face.
He knew very well...
Or rather, he had no choice but to know, that Duan Chen was serious.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Which blind fool had crossed paths with such a person? And not only that, but they had killed the man's entire family without doing their research beforehand, leaving only this one survivor.
An utterly incompetent move!
And now, he had to bear the consequences of this idiotic operation?
His mind raced, and he immediately shouted.
"Wait! There's a reckoning for every debt. It wasn't me who killed your family. You can tell me their appearance, and I'll help you find them!"
Duan Chen sneered, as if such a family even existed. He glared at Wang Chenyang with hatred, his voice growing faster.
"Stop playing dumb! Do you think I don't know that you sea demons can change your faces at will?"
"There's no point in saying more. You die here today... Besides, the sea demon who killed my entire family died by my hand back then. Did you think he could escape?"
Duan Chen smoothly drew out the Thousand Illusions Pandora.
The Thousand Illusions Pandora could change its form. As an S-class weapon, it possessed excellent concealment. Even if he revealed it as Bai Se, as long as it didn't transform, it could be perfectly hidden.
The Thousand Illusions Pandora was currently in its gun form.
But it wasn't its original gun form.
Instead, it mimicked the appearance of Jun Ci's Black and White Guns. The dual pistols looked somewhat romantic, with roses entwined around them. The roses were forged from steel, climbing all over the firearms.
Blood-red roses and a black and white gun body.
It looked chillingly terrifying.
He directly aimed the muzzles at the sea demon, who was half-sitting on the ground, now paralyzed. The guns spat fire, piercing directly through the sea demon's brain.
A spiritual energy weapon...
Only a spiritual energy weapon could definitively end a sea demon. With ordinary weapons, even a shot to the brain would give a sea demon a chance to recover.
This was something that must be remembered.
Seeing Wang Chenyang's body still, Duan Chen shifted his gaze to the others.
Wang Fugui and Jia Mengmeng's faces were ashen.
In such a short period, events they couldn't comprehend had unfolded before them.
First, their own kin had died before their eyes, swallowed by a snake from an unknown source.
Then, their peers had also died before them, this time much more decisively, pierced by a single shot, dead beyond recovery.
Jia Mengmeng promptly knelt down, her face pleading.
"I surrender!"
"I'll do whatever you want! Don't kill me! Please! I'll do anything, tell you anything you want to know, just spare my life."
Wisdom lies in knowing when to yield...
Wang Fugui, standing beside her, glanced and immediately knelt down as well.
He said loudly.
"I can too... And I know more than this woman!"
"Please spare my life!"
The two knelt before Duan Chen one after another, their voices clamoring, their eyes filled with the hope of survival, making one unable to help but find it amusing.
It was truly impossible not to laugh...
