Upon receiving the call, David vanished from the spot in an instant.
The station wasn't far from Wayne Manor, and he arrived at the tram station Clark had mentioned a dozen seconds later.
scoff!
"Whatever plans you have that could harm the citizens."
Just then, Clark jumped up and snapped the steel tracks of the high-speed tram.
"Now, you can't go anywhere."
He landed on the ground and clapped his hands with a serious expression.
Although he didn't know why the group boarded the tram, he knew he was right to stop the villains from doing what they wanted.
"who are you?"
Just as they boarded the tram, a sickeningly loud noise came from ahead. When everyone looked up, they discovered that the tracks had been sabotaged.
Lei Xiaogu's stern face exuded a chilling coldness, giving off the feeling of a monarch's fury that held the power of life and death, making people tremble involuntarily.
Having lived for over seven centuries, the demon had accumulated an extraordinary aura as a ruler for nearly a thousand years.
The sound of metal scraping against metal filled the air as the samurai slowly drew their gleaming katanas from behind them, their cold, ruthless eyes locking onto the two men.
"Come on."
"Killing!"
The citizens watching from the platform screamed and hurriedly turned and ran away in fear.
It's obvious that this group is definitely not just cosplaying samurai.
Glancing at the screaming crowd, David's body, seemingly cast from high-density alloy, vanished from its spot, crashing into the tram like a cannonball.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye.
The paper-thin walls of the tram were torn open, and shards of glass flew like blades, ravaging the tram.
David suddenly appeared inside the tram, his body seemingly cast in steel, and more than a dozen people around him were thrown back by the shockwave.
"Where is the Pool of Lazarus? Lei Xiaogu!"
Upon seeing this scene, Lei Xiaogu's pupils contracted, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.
"kill!"
A group of seemingly fearless warriors roared and swung their swords at him, but David remained indifferent, not even glancing at them, and stomped his foot.
A powerful surge of energy swept through the tram's interior, sending warriors flying haphazardly, crashing through the tram's windows, and landing outside, severely injured and coughing up blood.
Some of the seemingly painless corpses immediately rose and raised their knives to kill again.
"If you don't want to get hurt, you'd better stay put."
Clark stood at the tram door and knocked people to the ground one by one.
How do you know that name?!
Despite the fact that dozens of his men were seriously injured, Lei Xiaogu did not blink an eye. He stared intently at David, drew the sword from his cane, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword struck David's neck like a venomous snake. The sword move was swift and cold, like a bolt of white lightning.
Ding!
"Answer my question."
In terms of fighting skills, you are probably one of the strongest people on this planet.
The moment the sword touched David's skin, the alloy longsword shattered under the powerful energy, the hilt slipped from his hand, and Lei Xiaogu's hand holding the sword cracked open with bright red blood. Before he could react, David flashed forward, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up, his voice extremely cold.
"But in front of me, you're like a slightly older, menacing insect!"
The Pool of Lazarus granted Lei Xiaogu superhuman strength and speed, but in front of David, he was no different from an ordinary person.
"The Demon King is never threatened by anyone."
Life and death hung in the balance. Although Lei Xiaogu was shocked by the incredible power of the person in front of him and knew that the young man could break his neck with the slightest movement, he sneered without any fear.
"Is it?"
David squinted, knowing that this old man couldn't be viewed through the lens of ordinary people.
People tend to become cold-blooded after living for a long time, especially after soaking in the Pool of Lazarus for centuries. Lei Xiaogu's mind had long been eroded, and even life and death could not evoke much of his emotions.
"What do we do now? David, he doesn't seem to be afraid of death."
Even the most hard-trained warriors couldn't withstand Clark's punches and were knocked unconscious one by one. Clark, who had been watching this scene closely, ran into the tram and looked at Lei Xiaogu, whose face showed no fear but was filled with anxiety. He lowered his voice and said...
For some reason, he felt that this person wasn't pretending to be unafraid of death; his own life and death weren't that important to him, like a devout fanatic.
“I know your past, Lei Xiaogu.”
He casually put Lei Xiaogu down; Lei Xiaogu's face was flushed red and he was about to be strangled.
Looking at Lei Xiaogu, who was rubbing his aching neck, David's voice was indifferent, as if it contained no emotion whatsoever.
"You have studied alchemy, are proficient in medicine, and have traveled all over the world."
You too once had a passion for this world, until you discovered the Pool of Lazarus, where the very person you saved turned around and killed your wife.
Several hundred years ago, Lei Xiaogu accidentally traveled to Arabia and discovered the Pool of Lazarus. He was amazed and devoted himself to studying its effects. There, he met the love of his life, a woman named Sora.
The prince who ruled the nearby kingdoms at the time was terminally ill and sought help from him, who was skilled in medicine.
Even with his medical skills, he couldn't cure the prince, so he used the Pool of Lazarus. The dying prince was brought back to life, but the prince's dark side, which was already a bad thing, worsened, and he killed Sora.
The king, of course, would not convict his beloved son. Instead, he arrested Lei Xiaogu and imprisoned him with his wife's corpse to torture him.
"Being betrayed and losing loved ones changes you."
How do you know about this past event?
When his past traumas were brought up, Lei Xiaogu's face turned ugly and he hissed.
This happened more than 700 years ago, and all those who followed him at that time have long since died. Logically, no one in the world should know about this anymore.
After that, Lei Xiaogu managed to escape and traveled to various places to learn martial arts and swordsmanship, and recruit subordinates. Later, he returned to that place, destroyed that small country, and slaughtered all its inhabitants from top to bottom. He then established the Assassin Alliance, determined to eliminate the world's corrupt countries, cities, and people.
"Losing a loved one must be a terrible feeling!"
"shut up!"
Painful memories surged through his mind, and Lei Xiaogu, who had been calm all along, was now filled with rage, throwing a punch and lunging forward.
But David slapped him back to his original spot, and he fell to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked down at David, revealing his true purpose.
“I not only know these things, but I also know that you have a daughter, Talia, whom you love dearly.”
You love her more than anything in the world!
Upon hearing his daughter's name, Lei Xiaogu's expression changed, and for the first time in front of the two of them, a look of panic appeared in his eyes.
"Tell me where the Pool of Lazarus is, or you will experience the pain of losing a loved one once again."
He lifted him up again with one hand and pulled him close to his eyes. David's eyes revealed a terrifying chill that was enough to make one's soul tremble and freeze.
"No matter where she hides, I will definitely find her and make her suffer a painful death."
Lei Xiaogu is so cold-blooded that he can plot to kill millions of people without batting an eye, but he loves his daughter.
In the comics, because his daughter loves Batman, he hopes that Batman and his daughter will take over the control of the League of Assassins from him. He has the upper hand many times but has shown mercy to Batman.
"David?"
Clark froze, somewhat startled by his brother's appearance.
However, the younger brother was probably just pretending to save their father. David was just a little cold-blooded, but it didn't warrant implicating innocent people.
David had no intention of taking his anger out on innocent people.
But as the daughter of Lei Xiaogu and a high-ranking member of the Assassin's Guild, Talia is by no means an innocent person; the blood on her hands is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"I guarantee that not a single bone of your daughter will remain."
He raised his palm and fired an energy blast downwards towards the station, burning a hole the size of a bowl into the bottom of the carriage.
As the molten iron dripped down, the soil and rocks turned into lava, extending into a dark, deep pit more than ten meters underground. Lei Xiaogu's expression changed drastically as boiling heat swept over him, seemingly mixed with the smell of sulfur from hell.
David delivered his threat with extreme coldness, each word deliberate and chilling.
"Even if you possess the Pool of Lazarus, you will be powerless then, just like your wife Sora, who died before your eyes."
Chapter 66 Now, we should go back.
"That's enough. If you want the Pool of Lazarus, I'll give it to you."
As mentioned earlier, the Demon King, Lei Xiaogu, who was never threatened, compromised out of fear and anger.
"Don't use Talia to threaten me!"
The abilities this guy possessed were terrifying; his samurai and ninjas couldn't even put up a slight resistance against him.
This was a formidable enemy he had never encountered before. He didn't care about many things in this world, and a rare sense of unease washed over him like a tidal wave. He wasn't sure he could protect his daughter from this man's murderous intent.
