Chapter 645 - Long Journey Beyond the Lair (1/2)

Xiong Wei found himself in an awkward situation and faced with a dilemma.

If Golden Tooth decided to support the Meng Chao of yesterday, he was confident that he could humiliate the boy within three moves, such as using spirit pressure to force the boy to his knees or using spirit force to throw him off his feet and on his back.

In that case, forget about Meng Chao’s own dignity, even Golden Tooth and Jin Wanhao’s dignity would be completely trampled. Then, he would have no right to compete against Xiong Wei for the title of the leader of the Lair Reconstruction Committee.

But within just a short twenty-four hours, Meng Chao gained some sort of blessing. Not only did he unlock the second form of Golden Tooth Saber, he was also able to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash. His fighting strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he grew distinctly stronger.

Even though Xiong Wei did not think that Meng Chao had mastered the spirit of Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash, he had to admit, this young man had created countless miracles ever since he appeared in public eye, and he could no longer easily defeat him in just five moves.

If he wanted to defeat Meng Chao, they would have to fight seriously and exchange more than one hundred moves.

He would also have to be prepared to be injured heavily and gain only a pyrrhic victory.

Yet that would be meaningless.

He was an old generation fighter who had been famous for decades, while Meng Chao was a rising star and a greenhorn.

If he gained a pyrrhic victory after exchanging more than one hundred blows against Meng Chao, the youth would gain glory, even though he was defeated. Meanwhile, Xiong Wei would be humiliated.

The most crucial thing was that Xiong Wei did not have a suitable reason to cause trouble for Meng Chao.

They were all allies in name, and Meng Chao had just saved the lair.

The logic behind him inheriting Jin Wanhao’s legacy also appeared to be flawless. Even if there were suspicious points, he could not cast doubt on it, because he was an outsider.

In such a situation, if he attacked Meng Chao or even injured the war hero in front of everyone’s eyes, he would definitely become the subject of ridicule and even a target of subjugation for the Supernatural Tower.

But if he just watched Meng Chao’s performance, the rhythm would end up in Meng Chao’s hands. If they really formed the Lair Reconstruction Committee, Meng Chao’s word would have the highest authority, because he inherited Jin Wanhao’s legacy and Golden Tooth!

Xiong Wei gritted his teeth. His expression became savage, and his gaze stormy. He looked back and forth between Meng Chao and the gang leaders behind him.

Suddenly, his gaze wavered.

At some point in time, a one-eyed, single-armed, single-legged man with a face covered in scars had appeared in a shadowy corner.

He seemed to be one of the vagabonds who could be seen everywhere in the lair, and not a single bit of aura could be detected from his pores, so much so that even Xiong Wei could not tell whether he had been standing there since the start or had popped up from the shadows.

He was the Deity Realm superhuman Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue!

Xiong Wei sighed in his heart and completely gave up on attacking Meng Chao.

“Everyone!”

Meng Chao sensed that Xiong Wei had decided to not challenge him. He smiled and lifted Golden Tooth Saber, then spoke loudly. “Even though I am not from the lair, I share a common identity with you that is far greater than that of a lair citizen.

“We’re all Dragon Citizens, and we’re comrades connected by blood. In all our bodies flows the blood of Earth!

“Our ancestors went through the most unbelievable transmigration in the universe and found buried under our feet the ancient ruins from billions of years ago. Now, ahead of us is a mighty battlefield. It is the place where we will journey together, and it is bound to be the most astonishing journey in all of human civilization.

“Compared to the adventures we will soon face and the miracles we will soon create, all the glorious deeds made by the heroes from the past will just seem like they were playing house.

“After transmigrating through billions of galaxies, we are bound to have a great journey. Are we then supposed to still differentiate between the lair and the outside world within the tiny Dragon City? Just how cowardly and short-sighted must someone be to insist on not letting go of the lair? That’s the same as being a frog in a well, only longing for a tiny pool of water filled with mud!”

His words were filled with spirit energy. After being flung out more than ten meters away as if from an air cannon, his voice exploded at the center of the hall, and it was as deafening as thunder.

The saber glare around Golden Tooth Saber also became more brilliant and wild due to his excitement.

The gangs knew that he was bragging shamelessly, but plenty of the fighters were still stunned by the picture he painted with those bold words.

Mankind should realize their aspirations all over the world. They were all superhumans with above average strength. If they had the chance, all of them wanted to traverse the Other World and build their own empire. No one wanted to stay locked up in the tiny lair.

In the past, Dragon City was shrouded by fog and could not colonize the Other World. This caused all of them to live aggrieved lives.

Now, the road to the Other World and their future was becoming visible before their eyes.

Would they have the courage to take that step?

“Trust me, times have changed!” Meng Chao’s voice was like a loud bell as he spoke firmly. “I once promised Gang Leader Jin that I would reconstruct the lair, but I don’t want to reconstruct a lair that is the same as the one before. I hope that you will all work with me to build a new lair that is one hundred times better than the old one.

“I believe that as long as our hearts are one, we will definitely breathe new life into the lair, and I also believe that as long as we cast aside the ludicrous factional views between the gangs, between Leprosy Village and the lair, and between the lair and the outside world, we will not only build a brand new lair, we will also build a new Dragon City that is ten times larger than the lair. We may even build a brand new Other World that is a million times larger than the lair!”

Whoosh!

The small sun that was trembling on Golden Tooth Saber’s tip exploded. It turned into a million golden rays that spread to every corner of the hall.

Even though they were only dazzling and contained no power whatsoever, the sight was still breathtaking.
