Xu Kui sat in the passenger seat with a gloomy face. Although he managed to kill the two Tier 2 hunters, the sudden death of Black Scorpion was a heavy blow to him. What scared him even more was the news that Butcher had revealed.
Two Tier 2 hunters dared to hunt him down? Did something really happen to the Xu family?
His family hadn't contacted him for a long time.
Ten days ago, Quicksand Shelter had cut off all his supplies without any warning. His family had sent Xiao Shuang out of the shelter. Did they know something was wrong?
Why didn't he receive any news?
The Xu family had a lot of influence in the Gate of Truth. Who had the power to uproot the entire Xu family?
Did Situ know about the Xu family's accident?
How was Xiao Shuang now?
…
Xu Kui's mind was in a mess. When Blackstone Town was in sight, Xu Kui finally made up his mind. He had to take a gamble!
All signs pointed to the Xu family being in trouble. If that was the case, returning to Quicksand Shelter would be like walking into a trap. Only by occupying Blackstone Town would he have a chance of survival.
"On the surface, Situ is the only Tier 2 in Blackstone Town. Even if he's hiding his strength, Xiao Shuang and I should be enough to deal with him. With that person's help, I have at least a thirty percent chance of taking down Blackstone Town!"
"Unfortunately, I don't have time to prepare. If I had another month, I would have at least a sixty percent chance of taking down Blackstone Town!"
"As long as I take down Blackstone Town, I'll have the capital to rely on the Black Steel Shelter. Behind the Black Steel Shelter is the Armageddon Arms, an existence on the same level as the Gate of Truth. It'll be enough to resist the Gate of Truth's attack. Even if the Xu family really falls, I'll have a place to stand!"
The truck drove into Blackstone Town without any hindrance.
After returning to his residence, Xu Kui hurriedly got out of the car. Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, he directly pushed open the door and walked through the empty hall. In a room covered with a red carpet, he found Xu Xiaoshuang, who was completely bored. She was currently seducing an attendant for fun.
Xu Xiaoshuang was startled when the door was suddenly pushed open. When she saw who it was, her eyes instantly curved into crescents!
"Brother, why are you back so soon?
Have you taken down the mine and the shadow lizards? "
Xu Kui was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of the hydraulic press turning on. His face suddenly changed. He quickly walked to the window and carefully opened the curtains to take a look outside.
Dozens of fully-armed soldiers armed with submachine guns quickly opened up a blockade and surrounded the three-story building he was in. In a hidden corner not far away, several sniper rifles were also aimed here.
Damn it!
Situ is going to attack!
Xu Kui's heart gradually sank to the bottom. If he attacked first and caught Situ off guard, he still had a chance of winning. Now that Situ had taken the initiative, if he continued to attack, only death would await him.
"Brother, what happened?"
Xu Xiaoshuang also came over. After seeing the situation outside, her pretty face instantly turned pale.
"Situ actually dared to attack us. Isn't he afraid that our Xu family will raze the entire Blackstone Town?!"
Xu Kui pulled the absent-minded Xu Xiaoshuang to prevent her from being exposed to the sniper's aim.
"Xiaoshuang, listen to me!"
Xu Kui took a deep breath, suppressed the boiling fear and anger in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Something might have happened to us.
"Something might have happened at home. The Hunter's Guild has already put up a bounty against our Xu family. Situ should have received the news as well. He wants to take advantage of the Xu family's loss of power to attack the two of us!"
"Something happened at home?"
Xu Xiaoshuang's face was blank, as if she didn't understand the chill behind this sentence.
"Is there a problem with the family business? Or did something happen to someone in the family?"
Xu Kui frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Something happened at the headquarters of the Door of Truth!"
"There's no time to explain now. We have to leave immediately. If Situ attacks, it'll be too late for us to leave!"
"Situ's men have already surrounded the outside. How are we going to leave?"
After finally realizing their situation, Xu Xiaoshuang tasted fear for the first time. She didn't know how to face such a situation.
"Come with me!"
Xu Kui didn't explain further. He pulled Xu Xiaoshuang and ran downstairs.
With the Xu family as his backing, Xu Kui and Situ had been fighting openly and secretly in Blackstone Town for a few years. Although he hadn't been able to take over Blackstone Town, he had prepared an escape route for himself.
Originally, it was to prevent Situ from fighting to the death. He didn't expect to be forced to use it in a situation like this.
Half of the soldiers that Xu Kui had trained over the years had died in the mine. The other half was facing off against Situ's soldiers outside. The entire building was in a state of panic.
Xu Kui led Xu Xiaoshuang to the first floor. He pushed open the door and entered a dark room. Then, he locked the door.
Whoosh!
Xu Kui lifted the carpet that covered the ground, revealing the brown wooden floor underneath. Xu Kui knocked on the floor a few times. Then, he hooked a small gap with his finger and lifted it up.
A square one meter long piece of the floor was lifted up, revealing a pitch-black hole in the ground.
A cold wind mixed with the smell of mud blew from the hole. Xu Kui couldn't help but shiver. He realized that he had already broken out in cold sweat in just a few minutes.
The moment they saw the hole, Xu Xiaoshuang's fearful eyes lit up. She was about to jump down with Xu Kui when Xu Kui pulled her back.
"Wait!"
Xu Kui took out a flashlight and flashed it a few times at the pitch-black hole. Soon, a strange movement came from the bottom of the hole.
At the place where the flashlight was focused, a bumpy human face appeared from the mud.
The muddy human face's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"Have you made your decision?"
Xu Kui took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone. "Send her out to a safe place. I'll stay here and deal with Situ with you."
The muddy human face glanced at Xu Xiaoshuang. It seemed to be a little confused. After thinking for a while, it nodded lightly.
"I'll send her out, but I need to get something first."
Xu Kui took off the two black pendants that were hanging on his chest. They were two metal pendants that looked like bullets.
Xu Kui pinched the two ends of one of the pendants and turned it a few times. He opened the hollow metal pendant and took out a capsule that was about the size of a bullet.
The capsule was pitch-black, and it was vaguely possible to see that it was filled with some kind of flowing liquid.
Xu Kui handed the capsule to Xu Xiaoshuang and said seriously, "Take this with you and leave the underground tunnel.
"Take this thing and leave through the underground tunnel. If you encounter any danger in the cave, crush it. You must leave the tunnel safely, return to the surface, and throw it back into the cave."
"At the safe place, I left a Iron Wolf and some other things."
"When you get out, ride the Iron Wolf and leave immediately. Don't go back to the Quicksand Shelter. Go to the Iron Chariots near the Black Steel Shelter and find a guy called Blind Man. Tell him that I asked you to find him. There's a token in the package, and he'll tell you what to do."
Xu Xiaoshuang opened her mouth as if to say something, but Xu Kui shook his head and interrupted her.
"I can't leave. Situ won't let me leave."
"There's no time. Go!"
Xu Kui pushed her into the cave and said to the face in a low voice, "The other half is with me. When she leaves safely, I'll give it to you."
After he finished speaking, Xu Kui gently covered the floorboard, not looking at the panicked little face with traces of tears on it.
"Xiaoshuang, I can only send you here. Live!
You must live! "
After doing all this, Xu Kui stood up calmly, opened the door, and walked out.
The soldiers outside hadn't attacked yet, and no one came to persuade them to surrender. Xu Kui and Situ both knew that from the moment they started fighting, only one of them could survive.
The reason why Situ didn't attack outside was obvious. He wanted to close the door and beat the dog. He wanted to make sure that he wouldn't have a chance to escape, even if it would cause more damage to Blackstone Town and more deaths.
A shadow came from the corner of the room and quietly hid in Xu Kui's blood-stained sleeve.
Xu Kui stood at the door, straightened his collar, then pushed the door open and walked out.
When the soldiers outside the door saw Xu Kui push open the door, they immediately turned their muzzles and aimed at him. Several sniper rifles in the distance also locked onto him.
However, no one took the initiative to open fire. The fact that Xu Kui was backed by the entire Xu family was an open secret in Blackstone Town. Although they didn't know why Si Tu would suddenly attack Xu Kui today, they still maintained a deep fear of this enemy who was both powerful and had a strong background. Before Si Tu gave the order, no one dared to open fire.
Xu Kui maintained his usual arrogant expression and looked around coldly, as if he didn't care about the guns around him.
"Ask Situ to come see me!" Xu Kui shouted.
No one opened fire, and no one responded.
Xu Kui, who was unarmed, slowly walked forward step by step. When he approached the first line of defense, a loud voice finally sounded.
"Xu Kui, the Xu family has already fallen. Since you've helped to clean up a mine, surrender now and I'll leave you with an intact corpse!"
Situ walked down from the passenger seat of a truck with a heavy machine gun in his mouth. He faced Xu Kui from afar.
"Where did you get the news?" Xu Kui asked.
Situ blew out a smoke ring and said slowly, "Of course it's from the Hunter's Guild. In this area, the Hunter's Guild is more well-informed than the Gate of Truth!"
"When?"
"Three days ago." Situ's lips curled up.
"I thought that Butcher and Viper would be able to kill you in the mine, so I let you live for three more days. I didn't expect you to come back alive."
Xu Kui was silent for a moment. He stared at Situ and said, "Ever since I came to Blackstone Town, many people thought that you were stronger than me. They all said that I was able to gain a foothold here because of the Xu family's strength."
"Now that the Xu family has fallen, I want to fight you fair and square. If you win, my men will give up resisting. If I win, I don't think I can walk out of here alive, but I hope that you can agree to one condition of mine!"
"Do you think you have the right to make a deal with me?"
Situ's voice was filled with cold killing intent.
"Without the Xu family's support, you don't even have the right to stand in front of me. I'll give you the last ten seconds to get your men to put down their weapons and surrender. Otherwise, everyone in this building will be killed!"
The naked killing intent caused the faces of the soldiers behind Xu Kui to change, but none of them put down their weapons.
Xu Kui looked at Situ with a mocking smile.
"Do you think you've won?"
Situ frowned. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if there was something he hadn't considered.
Xu Kui was already surrounded. There was no way he could escape. As long as he killed him, everything would be settled. What other variables could there be?
Xu Kui suddenly opened his mouth and mouthed an explosion!
Boom!
The ground of Blackstone Town began to tremble as if an earthquake was coming!
Not good!
Situ's expression changed. At the same time, he gave the order.
"Open fire!"
Bang!
Bang bang bang bang!
The sound of gunshots rang out one after another, mixed with the sound of a sniper rifle.
Countless bullets intertwined to form an impenetrable net, instantly enveloping Xu Kui!
The ground under Xu Kui's feet suddenly caved in, and a shadow shrouded his body. Xu Kui instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Shadow Jump!
Situ's expression darkened. Just as he was about to give chase, he saw black-toothed rats rushing out from the hole under Xu Kui's feet. They were endless, as if there was no end to them.
"Black-toothed rats!
Black-toothed rats are appearing everywhere! "
A panicked voice came from afar. Situ looked around and saw that many streets in Blackstone Town had caved in. Countless black-toothed rats were rushing out from the ground like spring water!
These black-toothed rats were highly aggressive. After rushing out from the hole, they immediately pounced on the surrounding humans.
A few soldiers opened fire at the black-toothed rats, leaving a fist-sized hole in their bodies. However, they could not stop the attack of these black-toothed rats.
The black-toothed rats with holes all over their bodies were still attacking crazily. Black blood gushed out from their wounds, splattering everywhere.
Black blood!
Situ's pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had discovered something terrifying. Only now did he realize that the eyes of these black-toothed rats were pitch black. Other than black, there was no other color.
Polluter!
These black-toothed rats were all contaminated!
This was the method of the Apocalypse Holy Court!
Xu Kui had secretly colluded with the people of the Apocalypse Holy Court!
Situ instantly understood what Xu Kui was relying on, and at the same time, an extreme anger surged in his heart.
How dare Xu Kui do this!
The Apocalypse Holy Court was the public enemy of all mankind!
They were wanted by the Gate of Truth, the Hunter's Guild, the Steel Throne, and other powerful organizations that stood at the peak of power and power!
"Xu Kui has colluded with the Apocalypse Holy Court. These black-toothed rats have already fallen. Everyone in Blackstone Town, listen up, kill all these black-toothed rats!"
Situ's roar instantly woke up the entire Blackstone Town. Those Wilderness Hunters who originally closed their doors and didn't want to get involved in this battle also trembled in their hearts. They picked up their weapons and joined the battle.
The Fallen Ones were the same as the Insect Beasts. They were the enemies of all humans. If they couldn't kill all these black-toothed rats, the entire Blackstone Town would be polluted by them and become a dead city. It might even become a small nest of pollution!
The Fallen Black-Toothed Rats were even more dangerous than the Bloodthirsty Black-Toothed Rats. Even the Wilderness Hunters weren't willing to fight with them, but at this moment, they had no other choice because the Blackstone Town's gate was already closed. If they couldn't kill all these black-toothed rats, everyone would become food for these Fallen Black-Toothed Rats.
