All the windows and door panels were shattered, and black scorch marks stretched from one end of the corridor to the other. There was fog everywhere, a vast expanse of white, as if someone had used a high-temperature spray gun to burn them inside and out repeatedly.

The flames spread out in two long lines that ran through both sides of the corridor walls, and the flames danced in the darkness, like spontaneously burning candles welcoming their king - the monarch of flames!

At one end of the corridor, one could vaguely see the dark shadow of a monster as big as a hill, dragging a long black trail as it crashed to the ground and lay there; at the other end of the corridor, someone stepped out bathed in raging flames.

His pupils burned with a golden color hotter than fire, and he was as majestic as a mountain.

Chapter 105 Dance of Killing

The open door was like the gaping Avici Hell, and the Asura King in flames stepped out from the pitch-black entrance of hell. With every step he took, the flames on both sides of the corridor rose and jumped more violently, as if they were roaring with excitement to meet their monarch.

The firelight dispelled the white steaming mist, illuminating the charred ground covered with fine scales, extending to the other end of the long corridor.

The air was filled with the smell of rotten blood. The scales should have been splattered with dark brown black blood, but after the high-temperature flames swept past like a rainbow, the blood was burned to a boiling point in an instant and evaporated into the air, disappearing without a trace.

The dazzling golden eyes were like two swaying lights in the night. The man walked across the corridor and stepped towards the other side of the corridor. A huge and ferocious monster was lying there, its shadow as huge as a mountain.

Until the man wrapped in flames stepped step by step on the charred ground, until he passed by Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked at the pair of pupils that were full of majesty and solemnity. Those golden pupils seemed to hide a world woven by the power of fire and bronze. He was the only supreme monarch in that world, and his eyes contained supreme authority.

If a mixed-blood of impure blood met that condescending gaze, bright red blood would seep out of his skin in an instant, capillaries all over his body would burst, and his heart would explode like a water-filled balloon in an instant because he could not withstand the tremendous pressure, splashing out bright and brilliant blood flowers.

But Lu Mingfei was obviously not among them. He just felt that the pair of strange and majestic eyes placed on the originally familiar and funny face looked a little... strange.

Lu Mingfei was apprehensive. He had never seen such a stranger before. Never had his face looked so... cold and majestic, like a god just banished to the mortal realm, or an emperor about to ascend the throne... Did he still recognize him? Or, in other words, could this king-like man... still be his old friend, ready to embrace him and chat freely?

So he forced himself to suppress the worry buried deep in his heart and tentatively shouted towards the man wrapped in flames.

"Old Tang?"

"Are you Old Tang? Or..."

Dragon King Norton!

Lu Mingfei didn't dare to call out the name, and could only pray silently in his heart that when the other party turned around and looked at him, he would rush up to give him a warm hug... instead of a hot breath of dragon's breath.

Hearing Lu Mingfei's call, the man turned his head suddenly, and his golden eyes pierced the darkness like a golden sword. He saw Lu Mingfei standing in the dark stairwell behind the firelight.

"Old Tang, it's me, Mingming, Big Head Bear Mingming... We were playing StarCraft, we were drinking, and you were standing on a stool at the table and saying you'd help me take down the bad guys who were after my girl... Old Tang, do you still remember?"

Lu Mingfei stepped out of the dark corridor and looked at the familiar face facing him. In an instant, he threw aside the issues of life and death and his position. He staggered a little and walked towards the man who was not sure whether it was Old Tang or Norton.

The figure surrounded by flames stood there quietly, and the pair of bright golden pupils looked at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei could not make out any emotions from those golden eyes, whether they were human... or dragon's.

But he still walked towards the guy step by step with determination, wanting to give him a big hug, as if he was sure that the somewhat strange-looking man was his friend Lao Tang, like a stubborn child.

The raging fire seemed to have warned the outsider and spontaneously burned towards Lu Mingfei's body, enveloping both of them. The flames once again tore the wound on Lu Mingfei's back. He gritted his teeth, and his voice came out from between his teeth as he tried his best to call out Lao Tang's name.

Someone once said that when you fall into someone's arms, you will find that the world has never been so gentle.

Old Tang has lived in the dirty Jianzi Building for more than ten years, living a life with no food to eat. When he is bored, he browses the Hunter website and reads those depressing and dark topics. Occasionally, fighting in the interstellar space is one of the few ways for him to relax.

Some people are like this. They live in a dark ditch, but wherever they look they see a distant light, as if only in this way they won't be assimilated by the darkness around them... But in fact they are extremely lonely, because they are the only one who is shining in the dark ditch.

He is warm, so the world seems so cold in comparison.

Old Tang is such a person. He has been... lonely for who knows how many years.

There is a cage in everyone's heart.

Old Tang never told anyone that in the cage of his heart, there was actually a monster locked up, a monster as big as a mountain, as ferocious and terrifying as a dragon that could roar at the whole world.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, every time Old Tang stared at the monster, he was scared because he knew that it was actually another self. So he gave himself an optimistic and humorous personality, and laughed off all the embarrassing things. He rarely felt really sad or angry about something. Happiness flowed in his blood and he lived as if he was heartless.

That's because he knew that if he was too angry, the monster would roar; if he was too sad, the monster would break out of the cage, the world would usher in a great disaster, and he... would no longer be himself.

But he's just a guy, an ordinary guy who's just a bit better at StarCraft and a bit more optimistic than everyone else. Why should he be assigned the dirty work of guarding monsters? It's exhausting to suppress a giant monster for years... and there's no pay.

Old Tang never complained, but in fact he was almost exhausted!

"Ignite the world with the fire of rage, raise the banner of war, reign supreme, and let all things tremble beneath your feet..."

In the cage deep in his heart, the giant dragon snorted and asked Old Tang who was standing outside the cage.

"Such an ugly monster dares to challenge you. Why don't you let the ignorant people see the power of bronze and fire!"

"How about the power I lent you? It's working well, isn't it? Let me go. We are one. All this power... can be controlled by you! You will have authority second only to God!"

"With Constantine gone, aren't you all alone anyway? Rather than living a lonely and wretched life, it's better to ignite yourself and blossom into a proud and magnificent life..."

"Aren't these what you've always dreamed of?"

The dragon's words were as bewitching as an evil ghost, and its huge body moved closer and closer to the door of the giant cage. Old Tang stood outside the cage, looking at the lock that he could open with just a thought, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, but he didn't say a word.

To rule the world... To dominate the world... It sounds very tempting indeed. It is much more satisfying than spending your whole life immersed in the dark gutter!

"Anger, just be angry, tell the world that you are the greatest existence, just in my name, bronze and fire..." The dragon was almost sticking to the bars of the cage, its ferocious bloody mouth opening and closing, constantly urging.

Seeing Old Tang's hand raised in the air, flames ignited in the dragon's ancient and majestic golden vertical pupils, and excitement almost overflowed.

"Old Tang!"

Old Tang's hand, which was raised to lock the door, suddenly stopped because he heard someone calling him.

Until Old Tang fell into a warm embrace, someone held his body tightly, and the arms were full of care and warmth. It seemed that this embrace was not only holding him, but also the monster in his heart.

"Old Tang...Old Tang..."

The dreamlike voice flowed into the depths of Old Tang's heart like a green and warm spring, extinguishing the fire of anger and soaking his dry heart. A familiar voice rang in Old Tang's heart.

"Mingming?"

Old Tang came back to his senses. It seemed to be Mingming's voice, his friend Lu Mingfei.

"Don't worry about him, unlock the door, open the keyhole, let me out, the whole world is yours, you can get everything you want, the vision you have always dreamed of will come true!"

The giant dragon roared in frustration. He was just one step away, just a little bit away from breaking out of the cage. The first thing he would do was to devour the stupid personality outside and then rule the world!

Ronald Tang will no longer exist, and what will remain is only the ruler of bronze and fire, His Highness the noble Norton!

Just a little bit different...

"Feel sorry."

Old Tang raised his head and smiled, his happy eyebrows drooping as usual. He imitated the frivolous expression of the panda head in his QQ avatar and said to the dragon in the cage.

"Conquering the world has never been my dream... If I can improve my StarCraft skills a little bit and have more meat for dinner tomorrow, I'll be very satisfied." Old Tang raised an eyebrow.

"Damn it, is this all the King of Bronze and Fire can do?" the dragon roared angrily.

"The King of Bronze and Fire is the King of Bronze and Fire, and I am me." Old Tang said seriously for the first time, "I am Old Tang, Ronald Tang, Mingming's good friend."

Old Tang no longer cared about the struggling and roaring dragon in the cage. He raised his head and looked up from the depths of the dark gutter.

Someone was lying on the edge of the gutter, ignoring the mud on his body, leaning down and extending a hand towards him.

Old Tang smiled, then he grabbed the warm and powerful hand without hesitation, and he was pulled out of the gutter by the man, and they hugged each other tightly.

“Ming…Ming…”

The brilliance symbolizing humanity flowed in those majestic golden eyes. The flames burning Lu Mingfei were condensed, and a hoarse voice sounded in Lu Mingfei's ears.

Hearing this stuttering but quite friendly address, Lu Mingfei's nose felt sore and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed. He knew that his friend Lao Tang was back!

As for the King of Bronze and Fire... to hell with him!

So Lu Mingfei tightened his grip on Old Tang.

"Ahem...Mingming, I can't breathe anymore. If you push any harder, it'll be murder!"

Lu Mingfei let go of Lao Tang and looked at his friend's eyebrows drooping in joy and his majestic golden eyes. Now it was no longer as abrupt and inconsistent as before, but just a little funny. Lu Mingfei smiled sincerely and said softly.

"Old Tang, welcome back!" Lu Mingfei patted Old Tang's shoulder heavily.

"To be honest, although I'm not used to this feeling, it's... not bad!" Old Tang looked down at the flames lingering around his body. Although the flames were not as bright as daylight when he was fighting for consciousness with Norton just now, they were warmer and no longer scorching.

"Let's talk about it later. There's a big guy waiting for us to deal with now." Lu Mingfei turned around.

There was a rustling sound at the end of the corridor, and a huge black shadow climbed up from the ground. The strong wind it stirred up blew out all the flames. It walked forward step by step with heavy steps. With every step forward, the flames in front of it dimmed and extinguished for no reason, as if it was swept over and swallowed silently by the tide of darkness.

The huge black shadow gradually changed from slowly moving to running. Her heavy body shook the ground of the entire floor as it jumped up and down. It was hard to imagine that a monster with such a huge body could move so quickly.

She was roaring and screaming, and her towering body, as big as a mountain, was able to throw the flames on both sides of the corridor into chaos just by moving. She rushed towards Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang, wrapped in thick darkness.

Without any warning, the dazzling flames suddenly appeared again, the air was burned and distorted, and a pillar of fire that was larger than the entire corridor suddenly rushed out from beside Lu Mingfei. The flames boiled like a giant dragon, rushing around and slamming hard into the scaly monster that was rushing towards him.

There is no need for chanting or warm-up, Lao Tang's Jun Yan is even more powerful than Chu Zihang!

The monster was thrown to the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

Old Tang's hand, wrapped in flames, touched the steel bar under the stair handrail. The steel melted instantly, and a rough but extremely sharp dagger quickly took shape in his hand.

"Mingming, take it!" Old Tang threw the makeshift knife high to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei caught the dagger in mid-air. It was burning hot in his hand. There was a sizzling sound between the steel and his palm, and wisps of white mist emerged.

The skin on his palm was almost burned off, but Lu Mingfei endured the pain and held the short blade tightly. Now was not the time to be pretentious. Old Tang had just stolen some of Norton's power, but he was obviously not yet fully accustomed to and mastered this sudden great power. He had just released a burst of Jun Yan and his body was already a little unsteady and shaky.

The corridor was still filled with flames that had not yet been extinguished, like layers of surging fire curtains. Lu Mingfei moved. He jumped high, then crossed the fire curtain and ran quickly along the wall of the corridor. His movements were faster than the best parkour players in the world.

Lu Mingfei danced with the steps of killing.

Until he rushed all the way to the ceiling, from top to bottom, he saw the twisting monster in the flames. When he reached right above the monster's head, he stomped on the ceiling hard, and the concrete wall was broken and cracked.

A dagger fell from the sky, and a shrill and desperate wail cut through the sky.

Chapter 106 Give You Freedom

In the firelight, pitch-black scales flew like rain, and bright red blood wrapped in dark brown gushed out like a crimson and gorgeous fountain.

The dagger in Lu Mingfei's hand fiercely pierced through the dense scales covering the monster's body, and dense cracks bloomed on the monster's body like flowers.

Lu Mingfei's palm was also rubbed bloody by this huge force, and a layer of skin was worn off. Blood slid down the tip of the knife, and the direction in which the blood drops fell was a beating red heart.

This is the only "human" organ in a woman's body. If the heart is also corroded by the turbid dragon blood, the woman will abandon everything that makes her human and completely degenerate into a monster without thoughts and ideas, with only strong physical fitness and bloodthirsty instincts left.

Scales began to peel off the monster's body layer by layer, like a discarded layer of armor, revealing the pale face of the woman beneath the bony mask swaying in the flames.

At the end of his life, Lu Mingfei pulled the woman back from the monster's body.

The story in the dream told him what kind of creature "Deadpool" is. After the hybrid's bloodline exceeds the critical blood limit of 50%, the powerful force of the dragon blood will forcibly rewrite the human's genes into dragon genes.

But when they are only one step away from becoming a dragon, human genes will produce a terrifying counterattack, making their dragon genes infinitely close but never reaching the level of pure blood. Therefore, they cannot become real dragons, but they are no longer human, but become an unconscious dead creature that obeys the dragon's orders.

If the blood sorrow of the hybrids is the loneliness between humans and dragons, then the puppets are far more miserable than the hybrids.

Deadpool's fate is to be a lonely ghost trapped in the eternal pursuit of power. He wants to glimpse the ultimate secret of bloodline but cannot get it in his entire life. His human soul will gradually fall off, and his dragon flesh and blood will become out of place. He is displaced and has no way to retreat.

A Deadpool… “a”, what a pathetic description!

Whether it was the fear of impending death or the relief from her monster state, a tear of blood shed from the woman's pupils, which had regained a bit of spirit, but it was instantly evaporated by the high temperature of the environment.

"Is there anything to cry about?" Lu Mingfei's knife tip hovered over the still beating heart. He was not worried about the other party's counterattack.

He could feel the heart beating weaker and weaker so close to him, and the vitality was rapidly draining away from the woman's body. She had no room to maneuver.

"This life... seems a little short." The woman said this with blood in her mouth, and her tone as she was about to die was full of regret.

"Will you repent? For those innocent people you killed?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The woman shook her head slightly, and bright red blood seeped from the corner of her mouth onto Lu Mingfei's sleeves, instantly soaking them in crimson, like a poppy flower swaying in flames.

"Whoever God wants to kill must die no matter what. I've always known that I'm just an executioner, holding the power of life and death on God's behalf..."

"Stupid!" Lu Mingfei coldly interrupted the woman, "You're about to die, don't talk about gods and ghosts in front of me. There are no gods in this world, and even if there were, they have no right to control the life and death of others!"

"Yes, I'm going to die soon, so there's no need for me to lie to you. There really is a God in this world!"

The woman whose eyes were almost dimmed suddenly flashed with a captivating light for no reason. Her tone was pious and hurried, like the most loyal believer of the Vatican Church, full of reverence, yearning... and fear. All emotions seemed to come from the "God" in her words!

Lu Mingfei frowned. The woman's tone didn't sound like she was lying. She had never been to any MLM training class in China. There was no need for her to leave no last words and engage in MLM practices when she was dying, right?

"What exactly is this 'God' you are talking about?" Lu Mingfei asked in confusion. He has always been a pure materialist.

"'God' holds the highest authority in the world. Wherever his spear points, there's death. Wherever his gaze reaches, there's fate. 'God' dislikes useless people. Hunter websites are useless, so these hunters must be eliminated one by one. I'm honored to be chosen by 'God' to wield the knife... and now, I've become useless, but I'm still very lucky."

The woman looked at Lu Mingfei with her light golden eyes, and her words were mixed with deep helplessness and sadness.

The Hunter website is useless and the hunters are going to be eliminated? Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned. So this so-called "God" is the person standing behind the Hunter website and controlling the Hunter website?

Lu Mingfei glanced at the woman who seemed to be brainwashed. She was obviously about to die, yet she was still shouting that she was lucky?

"Stupid."
