Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Trump Card

Lin Chuan was like a torn ragdoll as he was flung around by Shen Yulong, who held his collar. No matter how Shen Yulong wilfully mocked him, he did not react.

“Even if you ran 10 km ahead of me at the start, it’s fine. I’ve caught up to you now. We’re all four-star superhumans, but I have forty-nine Shooting Star Blades protecting me. What are you going to use to fight against me?”

Shen Yulong vented the grudge he had held onto for ten years and said smugly, “Each Shooting Star Blade is made from a meteor from outer space and crystalized organs from Hell Beasts. The best runic symbol masters have also been hired to refine them.

“They were soaked in superbeast blood to nourish them, and the best older generation fighters in the Shen family used their vitality magnetic fields to repeatedly stimulate them so that their essences were branded inside. The value of this set of weapons is something people like you can never imagine.

“Speaking of which, you’re really loyal to Lu Siya, aren’t you? Didn’t she give a loyal dog like you some good equipment?

“By the looks of it, she knows very well that you’re just a dog. You’re someone who doesn’t belong at the same level as us. Since you’re a dog, when she feels good, she feeds you a few pieces of meat, and that is enough. There’s no way she would let you sit at the dining table and enjoy the same treatment as humans.

“Hahahaha! Lu Siya, you wench, where are you hiding?! Do you see how your loyal dog has ended up?!

“Come out, Lu Siya, you wench! I’m going to kill both of you!”

Shen Yulong shook Lin Chuan with everything that he had.

Lin Chuan’s blood spilled out in streams. It fell on the ground with splatter and gathered to create small blood puddles on the ground.

Meng Chao’s eyes were wide, and he felt like his blood vessels in them were about to burst from rage. There were a few times when he was nearly unable to hold back from attacking.

But Qin Hu kept a tight grip on his wrist, and there was no way he could easily break free of the monstrous grip of a fighter at the peak of Earth Realm.

At that moment, a faint grunt suddenly came from a corner.

“Ha, found you!”

Shen Yulong’s eyes lit up, and he threw Lin Chuan viciously at that corner.

A black shadow shot out of the corner and caught Lin Chuan. It rolled on the ground to cushion its fall, and because of it, it could not help but reveal themselves.

It was Lu Siya, and she looked really pale.

She held the seemingly dying Lin Chuan and retreated step by step.

“Look how far you’ve fallen, wench!”

Shen Yulong stepped on a staircase made of air and descended slowly. He pressed in on them. His expression was savage, and there was great pleasure on his face.

Lu Siya retreated to the corner with Lin Chuan in her arms. She sat down slowly on the ground. Her originally ambitious eyes were now filled with despair.

Shen Yulong brought his arms up. The forty-nine Shooting Star Blades flew out with shrill screech.

Meng Chao cast Qin Hu a glance.

Qin Hu kept his hold on his wrist and shook his head.

At that moment, something happened.

“Ah!”

The aggressive Shen Yulong suddenly screamed in pain.

With observant eyes, Meng Chao saw two sharp spikes having suddenly grown out of the ground under his feet. They pierced his steel-embedded soles and broke out of the top of the foot. He was pinned to the ground.

Then, a thick and long spike shot out of the ground between his feet and went straight up.

It was an attack that men feared the most.

Shen Yulong was shocked and terrified. He could no longer care about the pain in his feet. He just forced his feet out from the spikes. They turned into a bloody mess, and two huge, see-through holes could be seen on them.

Even so, he did not manage to evade the attack from the third spike. A terrifying, bloody gash appeared on his thigh, and it nearly cut through his artery, which terrified him so much that he broke out in cold sweat.

His feet were pierced, and there was a tear on his thigh. He had lost most of his mobility, so he could only rely on his maglev to float in the air. Even so, he swayed.

The spirit energy in the underground was incredibly complicated. The great interference caused his flying speed to be incredibly slow, and his movements were rather clumsy.

More spikes appeared under Shen Yulong. They rose up like the spine of an aquatic dragon. Soon, all the spikes gathered together into a stone python that opened its mouth to swallow Shen Yulong.

‘What’s that?’

Meng Chao and Qin Hu watched wide-eyed.

The despair in Lu Siya’s eyes changed into burning ambition.

She put down Lin Chuan and stood up slowly. She mumbled while swaying and danced in a strange manner.

As she chanted and danced, the huge python made of stones danced and continued attacking Shen Yulong.

It was as if Lu Siya had turned into a snake charmer and was using a fierce and mysterious snake dance to fight.

“That’s impossible. Aren’t you supposed to be a support-class superhuman? Lu Siya, you wench— Ah!”

Shen Yulong kept trying to dodge the spikes, but at that moment, he ran into a torrent formed by the spirit energy magnetic field interference. He could not control his body, and Lu Siya’s stone python bit his thigh. Eight spikes pierced his femur and dragged him down. Then, he was pinned on the ground.

Shen Yulong coughed up blood. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

He lost control of the Shooting Star Blades, and they shot at the walls around him like rain.

He wanted to continue struggling, but two more spikes shot out from behind his shoulders. They pierced his scapula and pinned him to the ground.

The dancing stone python split up into dozens of spikes that surrounded Shen Yulong and formed a sturdy cage.

The situation had changed drastically, and the victor was decided.

Lu Siya stopped dancing and smirked at man on the ground.

Shen Yulong could no longer contain his anger. He started yelling at her. “Lu Siya, you’re so despicable. You’re clearly a fighting-class superhuman, but you pretended to be a simple mine explorer. You watched me fight fiercely against your dog just now while holding back. You only revealed your trump card when victory was in your grasp. You— Ah!”

Lu Siya snapped her fingers lightly and controlled another spike to pierce his body. He was in so much pain that he curled up like a crawl and no longer yelled at her.

“Shen Yulong, you talk too much. Since this is a ‘trump card’, I will naturally not use it until the final moment. I will only attack when there are no other variables left.

“The Red Radiance Jade mine is mine. No one can steal it away from me.”

Meng Chao was in shock.

He did not expect that the children of powerful families would be each more ruthless than the last.

Wait… If Lu Siya was a fighting-class supporter, why didn’t she do anything when they ran into the Lion Dragon Fish, the Stone Statue Fungus, and all the other dangers?

Was it all to hide her trump card? That was why she watched as her teammates died?

She was a wicked woman with the heart of a snake.

Lin Chuan was right. He should not have saved her at all.

Once Lu Siya was done dancing the snake dance, she was drained of all strength as well. She ran out of spirit energy.

She staggered back to the corner and held up Lin Chuan to feed him some gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid.

Lin Chuan moaned and opened his eyes slightly.

“Siya, you?” he asked weakly.

“I’m sorry, Lin Chuan. I was a little lucky the past two years as well, but I never had the chance to tell you,” Lu Siya explained. “I’ve only just learned how to control stones to form a stone python to fight. I’m not very good at using it yet, and every time I release an offensive spirit energy magnetic field, I need a long time to cool down.

“That’s why I didn’t attack all along the way. I didn’t even help you when you were fighting against Shen Yulong just now. I could only grit my teeth while he acted all arrogant and revealed an opening. You won’t blame me, right?”

“W-Why would I?” Lin Chuan smiled faintly through blood all over his face. “But we’ve really not talked to each other for a long time. I didn’t know that you had such a powerful trump card hidden up your sleeves. W-What did you go through over the past two years and who taught you such a powerful skill? This doesn’t seem like a skill the Lu family uses.”

“Don’t worry. Once we find the Red Radiance Jade mine, I’ll tell you everything,” Lu Siya said with a smile.

Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. “Alright. Once we find the Red Radiance Jade, I’ll tell you everything as well.”

He summoned strength out of nowhere and broke free of Lu Siya’s embrace. Then, he struggled up to his feet.

In the beginning, he crawled forward like a blood-drenched monster.

But soon, he stood up straight, and his footsteps gained more power. His breathing slowly evened out, and his eyes shone with a light that no one had ever seen on him before.

In the end, he arrived in front of Shen Yulong with his chest puffed out.

Meng Chao and Qin Hu looked at each other.

They gulped.

There was something off.

Gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid would not be effective so soon. Lin Chuan’s wounds recovered too quickly.

Now, it was Lin Chuan who slowly formed a savage smile with very clear malicious intent.

He intentionally stretched out his arm inch by inch and grabbed Shen Yulong’s throat. He slowly tightened his grip and said with a smile, “Now, who is the human and who is the dog?”

Shen Yulong’s arrogance finally turned into fear.

“L-Lin Chuan, don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me! I’ll give you whatever you want! If you want money, the Shen family has a lot of it! You can have as much as you want!

“You’ll regret killing me! You’ll definitely regret it! You won’t be able to escape the Shen family and Universe Corporation’s never-ending revenge. You will never have a place in Dragon City!

“Lin Chuan, Mr. Lin, I’m sorry, you’re the human, I’m the dog! Don’t kill me! Woof! Don’t kill me!”

Tears streamed down his face, and he acted like a buffoon.

When he sensed that Lin Chuan’s killing intent was getting stronger, he turned his head around to beg for mercy from Lu Siya. “Siya, we were once classmates, and our families are friends! Don’t kill me!

“The Red Radiance Jade mine is yours! Everything is yours! No matter what you fancy in the future, I won’t snatch it from you! I swear on my life!

“Y-You can’t do this! Do you really want Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation to go on a full-on war? You won’t be able to bear the responsibility! You and your father will be ruined!”

Lu Siya arrived beside them and watched as Lin Chuan gave out his judgment to Shen Yulong. She did not say a thing.

Lin Chuan quietly tightened his grip. Shen Yulong’s eyeballs bulged out, and he could no longer say anything.

Suddenly, with a gasp, he lost control of his bowels and wet himself. A foul smell filled the air.

Lu Siya scowled and took two steps back. “Lin Chuan, let him go.”

Lin Chuan quirked his eyebrows and cast Lu Siya a surprised glance.

“Even though this guy deserves more than death, since we’re already in control of the situation, it would be better for us to keep him alive,” Lu Siya explained. “Two mine exploration teams went on a full out war in the underground. If the mine exploration team from Universe Corporation is completely destroyed, they might think that we killed them to silence them, because the dead tell no tales.

“Even if the Supernatural Tower acknowledges us and gives us the right to mine the Red Radiance Jade mine first, Universe will inevitably bear a grudge, and if things don’t go well, both families will wage a full-out war.

“But if we have someone living and make Shen Yulong tell all the crimes that he did, it will serve as proof of Universe’s crimes, and we can gain even more profit than finding the Red Radiance Jade mine.

“Besides, there’s something strange about this clash. We still have a lot of mysteries unanswered, so it’s enough to just make him suffer a little. Don’t kill him, I still want to interrogate him.”

Lin Chuan fell silent. Suddenly, he laughed to himself.

Lu Siya frowned and said, “Why are you laughing? You need to stop choking him.”

“I’m laughing because this is what happens every time. The Demonic Halberd Pigs at the bottom fight to the death. They die, are disfigured, and their corpses are strewn everywhere as both sides are badly wounded.”

Lin Chuan kept on holding Shen Yulong’s neck. He did not show any intention to let go. “But the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragons who stand at the top can calmly spare each other’s lives to maintain the balance and dignity of the ones at the top.

“After all, no matter how many Demonic Halberd Pigs die, they’re just Demonic Halberd Pigs at the end of the day, right?”
