Who said this card is outrageous?

Chapter 119 Turning the Tables

The attacks from Megalodon and Fitz simultaneously landed on Ke Yuanzhou.

The former opened its massive jaws, and dark energy condensed between its teeth into a visible blackish-purple blade of light, which it used to bite down on Ke Yuanzhou's waist; Fitz attacked from the side, and his trident, carrying the explosive power of water, pierced straight into Ke Yuanzhou's back.

The combined attack of two mid-level extraordinary combatants was undeniably fierce.

Ke Yuanzhou didn't take the attack head-on. He moved nimbly and nimbly in the narrow living room, each movement perfectly avoiding the attacks of the two purple card summons.

He dodged the most intense attacks with minimal movement—a reaction speed he had earned by risking his life on the battlefield over the years.

However, Fitz was no pushover either. Realizing that his enemy was also agile, he immediately changed his offensive and engaged in close combat with him.

However, this left the Megalodon somewhat at a loss for where to bite, and it could only swim around anxiously nearby.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The aftershocks of the battle between the three mid-level extraordinary combatants completely destroyed Zhang Che's house, leaving the entire living room unrecognizable, as if it had been hit by a typhoon.

Zhang Che stood in the corner, his heart bleeding: this was his home, the place he had lived in for so long.

The house left by my master was demolished just like that!

However, there was nothing he could do. Facing a seasoned fourth-tier elite like Ke Yuanzhou, Zhang Che, a fragile card maker, absolutely could not allow the opponent to get close.

Otherwise, given his physical condition, he probably wouldn't have lasted even one round.

Moreover, he remembered very clearly what Ke Yuanzhou had just said: there would be great chaos in the city, and it might even be in danger of destruction.

If I can't deal with this person in front of me, even if I manage to save the house, it won't make a difference. I should wait until it's all over before making any decisions.

Perhaps, in recognition of his achievement in catching the mole, the higher-ups will rebuild his house.

But before that, we need to get Fitz and Megalodon to hold off Ke Yuanzhou!

The only thing they can do now is to have Fitz withstand Ke Yuanzhou's attacks while taking the opportunity to throw Ruan Ruoshi to their side to ensure her safety.

Ke Yuanzhou noticed the action, but he did not try to snatch Ruan Ruoshi.

His target was Zhang Che from beginning to end; that woman was just an extra, brought over by the rat himself, and was dispensable.

He lightly pressed his finger on his waist, and a silver-white metal plate lit up, silently sending out an encrypted message.

……

The battle continued until, with a deafening roar, the roof of the house collapsed completely.

Zhang Che carried Ruan Ruoshi as they rushed out of the ruins, covered in dust and covered in wounds from flying stones.

Fitz and Megalodon rose from the rubble, flanking Zhang Che on either side. Ke Yuanzhou stood at the other end of the ruins, his uniform covered in dust, but he seemed to be unharmed.

The battle moved from indoors to outdoors, revealing the slightly dim sky overhead. In the distance, the setting sun was sinking below the horizon, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed dark red, as if someone had splashed a basin of blood on the sky.

Such a commotion naturally caused a disturbance among the surrounding neighbors. Several families leaned out of their windows and saw the giant shark hovering in mid-air and the blue fishman holding a trident, as well as Ke Yuanzhou and Zhang Che standing facing each other in the ruins. They were all dumbfounded, then pulled their heads back in and closed their windows tightly.

No one wants to get involved in a battle between superhumans, especially the long-time residents of Binhai City who have lived there for decades and know all too well how dangerous it is.

The curtains were drawn, the doors were locked, and everyone stayed quietly at home, with almost no one daring to show their face outside.

At this moment, the patrol team arrived. A security vehicle stopped at the street corner, and several uniformed security guards jumped out of the vehicle.

However, facing the three big shots in the distance, the squad leader swallowed hard and quickly led his men to retreat far away.

He's just a second-tier transcendent being; what's the difference between getting involved in this kind of thing and suicide?

"Evacuate the surrounding crowd, block off the streets, and request help from above!" he ordered his team members behind him in a low voice.

As more and more eyes noticed this place, a mid-level extraordinary expert finally arrived.

A sword light streaked across the sky above the city, like a meteor falling from the heavens, flying straight toward the ruins.

The sword light was incredibly fast; one second it was still far away, and the next it was already above their heads.

When the sword light subsided, Lu Chen's figure emerged from the light. He was still wearing the same black trench coat as when they last met, with a long sword at his waist. However, there was still some sword energy around him that had not yet dissipated, which made a faint buzzing sound in the air.

Lu Chen's gaze swept across the ruins before finally landing on Ke Yuanzhou.

The longsword slowly unsheathed in his hand, emitting a crisp sword sound. The sword light exploded in the air, and the invisible sword energy spread in all directions. Ke Yuanzhou, Megalodon, and Fitz, who were locked in combat, were all forced back by the aftershocks of this sword.

Lu Chen glanced at Ke Yuanzhou, then at Zhang Che, his hand still gripping the sword.

"What exactly happened?" His voice remained as cold as his sword.

There are only so many mid-level extraordinary beings in the entire Binhai City. Everyone runs into each other all the time. Even someone as aloof as Lu Chen has had a lot of dealings with Ke Yuanzhou and is much more familiar with him than with Zhang Che.

So at this moment, his gaze naturally fell on Ke Yuanzhou.

Ke Yuanzhou sneered inwardly. Sure enough, things were developing in the direction he had expected: wasn't the whole time he had been entangled with those two purple card summons just to wait for this moment?

He immediately put away his weapon, a solemn expression appeared on his face, and then he put on a serious demeanor.

"Lu Chen, you've come at the right time." Ke Yuanzhou pointed at Zhang Che, his tone filled with heartache. "This man is an undercover agent of the Descent Sect. I was ordered by the Grand Commander to protect him closely, but I discovered that he had improper contact with an unidentified person. I didn't want to alert him and kept observing his actions in secret until I just saw him attack Miss Ruan Ruoshi of the Public Security Bureau. I knew I couldn't wait any longer and had to stop him!"

He pointed to Ruan Ruoshi, who was unconscious behind Zhang Che, and declared righteously that he had fought with Zhang Che to save Ruan Ruoshi.

I never expected him to be so secretive, having other purple cards in his possession!

In short, he reversed his own role and Zhang Che's role.

Ke Yuanzhou's years of maneuvering using his position in the city guards hadn't been for nothing. The reason he dared to get involved with Zhang Che was precisely to frame him and use the mid-level transcendent being who was on patrol to temporarily subdue him, giving the rat a chance to escape.

Chapter 120 The Final Struggle

He didn't even need the visitor to completely believe him; he only needed the latter to have a slight doubt, so that Zhang Che would lose his freedom of movement for a period of time.

Given the current situation, even Xu Jing and Mo Yuncheng, who have always supported Zhang Che, couldn't say much about such a request.

As long as we can buy some time and wait until the big event is accomplished, does it matter whether Zhang Che was wronged or not?

As expected, after hearing Ke's explanation, Lu Chen looked at Zhang Che almost without hesitation, his eyes filled with a sword-like aura, as if he wanted to see right through him!

One was an acquaintance who had worked with the city guard for many years, and the other was a so-called young genius who had recently risen to prominence and caused a lot of trouble.

If we really had to say which one was problematic, Lu Chen would definitely lean more towards the latter. Although his intuition told him that things might not be that simple, from a rational perspective, Ke Yuanzhou's words were obviously more convincing!

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Lu Chen asked, his tone still cold, but with a subtle shift compared to before.

"Sigh, I knew it would turn out like this." Zhang Che sighed helplessly, but he didn't argue. He just turned his head and shouted towards the corner of the ruins.

"Gitomon".

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gatomon, which had been missing since being knocked away by Ke Yuanzhou, emerged from a crack in the ruins.

It was covered in dust, and seemed to be carrying something in its arms. It ran towards Zhang Che on all fours.

Gatomon ran to Zhang Che's feet, handed him the phone, and then squatted down to clean the dust off itself.

Zhang Che took the phone, tapped a few times on it, and then held it up to face the two of them.

Although they were some distance away, the eyesight and hearing of a mid-level superhuman were sufficient for them to clearly see and hear the video content playing on the screen.

From the moment the giant rat appeared until Ke Yuanzhou threatened Zhang Che and the giant rat was killed and escaped, almost everything that happened in the living room was recorded.

“Although I don’t know why, even though everyone has cell phones now, you still can’t buy surveillance cameras in the city, this thing is enough.” Zhang Che looked up, a half-smile on his face, at Ke Yuanzhou’s location. “Originally, this was for that thief, thinking I could record the scene of him breaking into my house. But I didn’t expect that in the end, not only did I catch that guy, but I also recorded some interesting things.”

Ke Yuanzhou's face turned ashen. He was furious that his plan to stall for time had completely failed, and he was also ashamed that his supposedly brilliant performance had ultimately turned him into a clown in the face of video evidence.

"Damn brat!" Ke Yuanzhou roared and charged at Zhang Che.

He acted ruthlessly, his five fingers forming claws as he snatched the phone from Zhang Che's hand, attempting to destroy the evidence.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. The Megalodon rammed in from the side, its massive body blocking Ke Yuanzhou and Zhang Che. It used its thick dorsal fin to withstand Ke Yuanzhou's full-force attack. Several of its dark blue scales were shattered, and blood splattered, but the Megalodon itself remained completely still.

As a card summon, it does not have the concept of taking damage.

At the same time, Fitz leaped up from the other side, sweeping his trident and forcing Ke Yuanzhou to retreat.

However, the matter did not end there. The implications of Ke Yuanzhou's attack were self-evident, and Lu Chen also turned his attention to Ke Yuanzhou, pointing his long sword directly at him: "I need an explanation."

With his longsword in hand, Lu Chen's imposing aura pressed down on Ke Yuanzhou like a mountain, as if a single strike could cleave him in two.

But the latter was not afraid at all; he even laughed, his laughter carrying a sense of exhilaration that "I finally don't have to pretend anymore."

"Hmph, those two old geezers, Zhong Huaiyuan and Xue Yan, aren't in the city. You'd better worry about your own lives now—"

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow descended from the sky, whistling through the air, and crashed heavily onto the ground in front of Zhang Che.

With a loud "boom," dust filled the air, and Zhang Che was pushed back two steps by the blast wave, using his arm to shield himself from the flying debris.

Lu Chen's gaze also temporarily shifted from Ke Yuanzhou to the figure that had descended from the sky.

However, his sword intent remained firmly locked onto his opponent, and if Ke Yuanzhou made any unusual move, he would immediately strike with his sword.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a human-shaped object was embedded in the pile of rubble. His entire body was covered in bluish-gray burns, his skin was charred black, and his clothes were burned down to just a few pieces of cloth.

His body would occasionally twitch, proving that he was still alive, but that was all.

Zhang Che carefully examined the face for a while in the afterglow of the setting sun before he could vaguely make out the outline of a large rat from the face that was swollen like a pig's head.

"Master." A gentle voice sounded beside Zhang Che. Ahri stepped out from a spatial rift that appeared out of nowhere, her nine tails unfurled behind her, and her robes were spotless.

She glanced at the large rat embedded in the ground, her expression indifferent, as if she were looking at a piece of work that she wasn't entirely satisfied with.

"He ran a bit fast, and it took me some effort to catch up." Ahri's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. "Even after catching up, he wouldn't behave and tried to run away again. So I used a bit more force."

As she spoke, she squatted down and poked the giant rat's face, which was no longer recognizable as human, with her finger to confirm that he was still alive. Then she stood up and patted off non-existent dust from her hands.

Ah Li straightened up and her gaze fell on Ke Yuanzhou in the distance.

Ke Yuanzhou's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat: if there were only Lu Chen, he might have been able to use the lives of these ordinary people nearby as hostages to escape in the chaos.

As long as enough casualties are inflicted, Lu Chen will definitely be tied down.

Even if he were incredibly fast, he could never outrun the fox woman who possessed spatial powers.

This is completely over...

No wonder!

"Hehehe..."

Ke Yuanzhou took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then opened them, suddenly spread his arms, looked up at the sky, and the fear in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by an almost frenzied fervor.

"Eye of Truth, Supreme Power, descend upon this place!"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to come from all his strength, hoarse and high-pitched, pouring all the emotions in his chest into those dozen or so words.
