Chapter 765: Bait and Encirclement!

The moment he saw these two lines, Chen Ling was stunned.

At the same time, Yang Xiao and Lu Xun saw this and asked in confusion:

"Ghost Mockery destroys the world... what is Ghost Mockery?"

"It sounds like some kind of catastrophic monster has appeared, and heaven and earth are going to purge it?" Lu Xun frowned. "But what does that have to do with us?"

Chen Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly. His expression was very calm, but his heart was already churning with stormy waves.

Chen Ling never expected that in this era, someone could peer into the destruction within him from afar and point out the two words "Ghost Mockery"... Most importantly, the four words "the era is in chaos."

Could it be that he had even discovered the era save-file? Or did these four words have some other meaning?

Of course, the four words that were easiest to understand were "heaven and earth shall purge together"... However, Chen Ling was already immune to this. No matter which era he was in, he seemed to become the target of everyone.

"You said just now that he gave you three silk pouches?" Chen Ling stared at Director Zheng again. "What were the contents of the first two?"

"The first was the Huangcheng Temple, the second... he said to open it when I encountered danger. As a result, after I opened it on the plane just now, it had the words 'Certain Death' written on it..."

"Did you take the initiative to find this Master, or did he find you?"

"It was me. I sent people to invite the Master, intending only to ask him to calculate Lu Xun’s location... As a result, the Master said this matter was a bit strange and that he needed to calculate two steps further, so he gave me three pouches at once. But after he threw out the last pouch, he didn't say anything else."

Chen Ling’s eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Looking at it this way, this Divination God Path user hadn't discovered him actively, but had discovered him inadvertently while calculating Lu Xun’s future... In other words, he already knew "Ghost Mockery descends upon the world" at that time?

"Something’s not right..." Chen Ling said suddenly.

"What?"

Chen Ling seemed to have realized something, and his gaze swept around violently... His body tensed up, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart!

"Bad! Get out of here quickly!!"

Chen Ling didn't have time to ask more, shot Director Zheng in the head, and then fled into the distance rapidly!

Yang Xiao and Lu Xun looked at each other and immediately followed.

The three of them scrambled into the car, Chen Ling stepped hard on the accelerator, and a roar exploded in the wilderness...

And almost at the same time, on the other side of the horizon, a dense mass of black vehicles drove straight toward them!

Looking out, over forty vehicles had almost blocked the entire west, looking from afar like a tightening cordon. Not only that, but behind them, a group of armed helicopters slowly rose from below the horizon.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiao’s face was full of shock:

"Are... are all these here to catch Old Lu?"

"No." Chen Ling stared at the black clouds and black waves covering them from the distance and said in a low voice, "They should be coming for me..."

Since just now, Chen Ling had realized something was wrong.

If the prophecy of Ghost Mockery descending upon the world was sensed by that Master, it meant he already knew of his existence before Director Zheng caught Lu Xun. In these few dozen minutes, he couldn't possibly have done nothing, and he had even specially sent over a blood-stained, hideous silk pouch... After all, those sixteen characters didn't look like they held any goodwill toward him.

If he really wanted "heaven and earth to purge together," he would never let this opportunity pass. Perhaps Director Zheng and the others were just bait to hold him back, while the real killing move prepared for him was still brewing!

Chen Ling’s brain worked at high speed. He jerked the steering wheel to make a sharp turn in the wilderness and then sped toward the east!

[Audience expectation +4]

[Current expectation: 39%]

The red sports car was like a cheetah in the wilderness, speeding alone; and behind the cheetah, a grim and terrifying pack of deadly wolves was surrounding the three!

"Director Chen, what exactly is going on?" The strong G-force and the speeding velocity made Lu Xun’s heart beat slightly faster, and he asked as calmly as he could.

"It’s not easy to explain in a short time."

Chen Ling opened his flip phone while driving. The signal instantly connected to the communication network behind them. After a brief static, voices began to ring out.

"Wolf Hunter 3 has locked onto the target, repeat, Wolf Hunter 3 has locked onto the target."

"Received, the encirclement is tightening."

"Observed two others acting with the target, suspected hostages..."

"Has the identity been confirmed?"

"Confirming... Confirmed. One is astrophysics PhD Lu Xun, the other is magnetic field PhD Yang Xiao, both are members of the Red Star Exploration Team."

"There are two scientific scholars in the car... should we still open fire?"

"Master Huang only calculated the identity of that thing and lost thirty years of his lifespan; he’s still in emergency care... The Bureau Chief has already given the order to kill 'Ghost Mockery' at all costs." The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie paused for a moment,

"Dr. Lu and Dr. Yang are certainly pillars of the nation, and they have research value... but the priority of killing 'Ghost Mockery' is higher than both."

"Understood, everyone prepare to open fire."

The next moment, the group of armed helicopters roaring above the earth simultaneously locked onto the red lightning speeding through the wilderness!

Amidst sharp sounds, over ten fiery arcs tore through the night sky, swarming toward the red sports car!

"Director Chen?! They..." Yang Xiao wanted to say something in shock, but before he could finish, Chen Ling’s voice interrupted him.

"Hold on tight!"

Boom—!!!

Electric light crawled through the vehicle again, and the engine’s performance was pushed to the limit by Chen Ling. A roar like a roaring beast rang in the ears of the three, and the sports car’s speed climbed even higher!

The red needle on the dial spun crazily, even breaking past the limit of the scale. The three felt as if they were almost floating off the surface of the earth, and the scenery outside the window was retreating crazily!

At the same time,

Chen Ling held the gun in one hand and reached out the window!

A massive Domain expanded rapidly with the sports car as the center!

"Tribunal." Chen Ling spat out the three words slowly and pulled the trigger toward the sky.

Amidst a series of silent, soft sounds, deconstruction bullets shot out from the sports car, then traced an arc in the air, swarming to collide with the many missiles in the sky!

Boom boom boom boom—!!

Roars rang out one after another, and clusters of scorching suns bloomed in the air, illuminating the night sky as bright as day!

The fiery embers of the missile explosions swept across the earth like raindrops, igniting the road ahead of the red sports car. Chen Ling’s face flickered in the light of the flames...

"This is troublesome..."

Seeing the missiles destroyed, Yang Xiao’s heart finally relaxed a little, but before he could say anything else, the melodious sound of a cello suddenly rang in the ears of the three!
