Chapter 588 - Phantom Bear Exits the Cage (2/2)

“I’m sorry for disappointing you. Even if I didn’t know whether Meng Chao was innocent or not, I wouldn’t have fought against him with everything I had or killed him the moment I saw him, because I had to ask him a crucial question: Why did you fight against my son for so long?

“But of course, now, I don’t need Meng Chao to give me the answer.

“Thank you for telling me the truth, Red Brows Su Lun. I’ve finally found the real killer and can help Xiong Ying rest in peace!”

Even Meng Chao and Lu Siya could sense the resentful killing intent from Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.

At that moment, it was as if he had really turned into his moniker and was a rampaging bear that crawled out of hell, even though he was only skin and bones as well as rage.

Meng Chao even felt as if Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s pores had opened up like the gates of hell. Xiong Ying and countless ghosts lurking in the netherworld all charged out so that they could take revenge for themselves through him.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya shuddered.

They instinctively stuck close to each other and sensed the goosebumps on the other’s flesh.

They were only onlookers, but they were so intimidated by Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s presence that they could not open their eyes.

As for Su Lun, he was even more terrified, because he had to face the livid Xiong Wei.

Even if his brain was moving at high speeds because he was anxiously searching for a way to survive, he had lost control over his organs and limbs, and he kept making a fool of himself.

“W-Wait! Gang Leader Xiong, listen to me! You can’t kill me! I surrender, I sur—”

His pleas for mercy were instantly drowned out by his screams.

Xiong Wei stomped on his right foot and crushed it, along with the armor that surrounded it.

Then, with a second stomp, he crushed his ankle.

After that was the lower half of his calf.

It was followed by the upper half of his calf.

Very soon, the area below Su Lun’s right knee was gone.

It was as if it was devoured by a hungry ghost from hell.

Su Lun was in so much pain that he nearly fainted.

But Xiong Wei injected a wisp of spirit energy into his bloody wounds so that he would stay awake. He would not be able to die even if he wanted to, but neither would he be able to live properly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die, at the very least, not now.” Xiong Wei crouched down and smiled savagely. He drew closer to Su Lun and whispered, “You should remember how I said I wanted to deal with Meng Chao, right? Let me tell you a secret. At that time, I might have been talking about Meng Chao, but I was thinking about cutting you into pieces!”

His anger had not faded away yet. He slapped Su Lun, and half of his teeth were gone from the strength of that slap.

“S-Save me…”

Su Lun’s head rolled to the side powerlessly, and he begged for mercy from Meng Chao and Lu Siya incoherently. “I surrender. You can’t kill me. I can help you capture the Vortex. I know a lot of secrets about the monster civilization! I’m willing to cast aside darkness and join the light!”

Meng Chao and Lu Siya ignored him and did not move.

Then, Xiong Wei repeated his actions and crushed Su Lun’s left leg into a pulp as well. Su Lun’s throat was about to tear from all the screaming, and it was only then that Meng Chao went forward. “Gang Leader Xiong, that’s enough.”

Xiong Wei turned around and cast a cold glance at Meng Chao.

“Brat, are you ordering me around?” Black Bone’s gang leader asked with a savage look. “Even though Xiong Ying fell for the enemy’s scheme, you’re still the one who killed him. I’m only barely restraining my urge to hit you, and it is my limit. If you ask for more, I’m going to kill you too!”

“Gang Leader Xiong, if you’re really interested in sparring, I’ll naturally entertain you once the storm calms down in the lair,” Meng Chao said, refusing to relent. “But don’t you think that the true culprit who killed your son is still walking around freely?

“After all, I was deceived, and Su Lun was just an accomplice. The one who truly controlled Xiong Ying so that he would die by my hand is the abnormal beast, Vortex.

“You’ll definitely be able to vent some of your hatred if you cut Su Lun into pieces, but if you capture the Vortex and cut it into pieces as well, won’t you be able to vent even more of your hatred?”
