Chapter 1255: You are Chen Ling!

"You... who are you??!"

Councilor Sun was certain that although the bodyguard's face was the one he was familiar with, the gaze definitely belonged to someone else, like a ferocious beast wearing a human skin, staring at him through the rearview mirror.

Councilor Tong, sitting to the side, heard this and immediately gripped the gun hidden behind his waist. Although he knew this thing couldn't contend with a real divine path possessor, it at least gave him a shred of security.

"You actually dare to kidnap Alliance Councilors?! Do you know what you're doing!!" Councilor Sun was frightened by Chen Ling's gaze and became incoherent.

"What am I doing?" Chen Ling answered faintly.

"Didn't you just say it... kidnapping councilors."

"Kidnapping councilors in the Nanhai Domain, do you know what the consequences will be!" Councilor Tong was relatively calmer and scolded coldly. "In exchange for you not hurting us, we'll give you a chance. Stop the car now and let us out, and we won't pursue your responsibility..."

Councilor Tong said this on the surface, but in his heart, he was cursing those two stupid bodyguards to hell. To let someone kidnap them right under their noses—they were the trash of trash. Aside from having a divine path, they had no brains at all!

Now the only thing they could do was stabilize the kidnapper and test what he really wanted. Councilor Tong felt it was highly likely he was sent by a political rival to threaten and warn them; after all, they hadn't done less of this kind of thing in their early years. If that was the case, everything would be easy to handle... Once they escaped, he had a hundred ways to kill the other party.

In the end, Councilor Tong didn't actually believe anyone in the Nanhai Domain would dare to attack them; this was his greatest confidence in negotiating calmly.

Chen Ling said expressionlessly, "Oh? What consequences?"

"If you dare to do anything to us, it's a dead end!!" Councilor Sun's breathing became heavy. "This is the Nanhai Domain. Who do you think you are, to escape the dragnet of the search?"

"Who am I?"

Chen Ling sneered. He slowly raised his hand and reached his fingertips toward his chin...

*Rip—*

A thin layer of skin dissipated into the air.

In the rearview mirror, Chen Ling's face smiled at the two in the back seat, like a demon from hell.

"Who am I... don't you recognize me?"

Councilor Tong and Councilor Sun were slightly stunned when they saw that face, feeling as if they had seen it somewhere before...

"It's you... it's you!! You are Chen Ling! You are Chen Ling!!!"

Councilor Tong suddenly remembered something, his pupils contracting sharply. The calmness in his heart collapsed in an instant, and unprecedented fear surged like a tide!

"What?" Councilor Sun's mind shook violently. He looked at the person's face again, and the files he had seen in his mind resurfaced!

Of course they knew Chen Ling.

When they sentenced Chen Ling to death half a year ago, they had read all the materials about him in detail and had seen photos of all the faces Chen Ling had used... Although they didn't recognize him at first glance, after careful observation, they could remember.

The two councilors were terrified.

They didn't fear Han Meng, didn't fear the Pu family, and didn't even fear the Nanhai Lord, because they were in the Nanhai Domain, and these were people who followed rules and laws...

But Chen Ling was not.

Chen Ling was that cold-blooded murderer, the World-Ending Calamity, Mocking Disaster!!

What binding force did all the rules, morals, and laws of the Human Domain have on a World-Ending Calamity? And just half a year ago, they had personally framed Chen Ling... This grudge couldn't be explained away in a few words.

The shadow of death instantly occupied their minds. They trembled in the back seat, unable to even speak a word for a moment.

Especially Councilor Sun; upon learning Chen Ling's identity, a warm liquid flowed down his pant leg—he had already lost control of his bladder.

"Good, you recognize me."

In the driver's seat, Chen Ling played with the boning knife in his hand unhurriedly, the chilling cold light sweeping across their cheeks through the rearview mirror...

"It's only right... After all, thanks to you two, I'm still a public enemy of the domain, hiding and fleeing everywhere," Chen Ling said faintly. "Let me guess, none of you two cast an abstention vote, right?"

Their faces turned paler.

"Chen... Chen Ling, let us explain..." Councilor Tong opened his mouth, using almost all the brain cells he had in his life, his brain spinning wildly. "We were induced by others at the time... Yes, it was that Han Meng! When that Han Meng described the situation, he was vague and incoherent. We misjudged because of his description!"

"Yes, yes, yes!! We misjudged at the time, we definitely weren't targeting you on purpose!!"

"Chen Ling, give us a chance. We'll go back and initiate the Alliance Council right now. This time, we'll definitely speak for you!"

"That's right, Chen Ling, we are both councilors of the Nanhai Domain and are on good terms with the other councilors. Leave this to us, we can definitely clear your name... No, no, no, restore your innocence!! Make you a hero of the Human Domain!!"

Councilor Tong and Councilor Sun grabbed at the straw, begging frantically, even starting to clench their fists and swear.

The figure in the bright red opera robe laughed eerily, the scarlet earrings swaying gently.

"What a Han Meng... what a 'misjudgment'."

"You two are truly the pillars of the Human Domain..."

"It's a pity, I don't need you to clear my name. I'm quite happy being a public enemy of humanity... At least, I don't have any psychological burden when I kill... What do you think?"

The two councilors stiffened instantly.

Councilor Tong let out a terrified, strange cry, pulled out his gun, and fired at Chen Ling's head repeatedly. He didn't even dare to look, just kicked the car door open and ran for his life!

Councilor Sun also reacted, screaming as he scrambled out the door.

Chen Ling just sat quietly in the driver's seat. As a red paper tentacle wriggled, two bullets pinched into balls fell onto the car with a *clink*. He swept a casual glance at the two fleeing men through the rearview mirror and slowly pushed the car door open...

*Thump—thump—thump...*

Councilor Tong's heart was beating so fast it felt like it would jump out of his chest. He looked back at the road behind him and, seeing that Chen Ling hadn't chased him out immediately, felt a flicker of doubt, but his feet didn't stop for a second.

The fog on the desolate side road grew thicker. The two ran along opposite sides of the road, unable to see clearly what was ahead.

Just then,

deep within the swirling mist, the bright red opera robe was quietly outlined, and a scarlet figure with countless tentacles dancing wildly drifted down slowly...

Councilor Sun looked at the red shadow that seemed like a demon descending into the world, his heartbeat stopping for a moment. Before he could let out a sharp scream, a slap that whipped up a howling gale slammed into his cheek!!

*Slap—!!*

A mouthful of broken teeth splattered into the air, and Councilor Sun flew more than ten meters away before collapsing on the road like a dead dog.
