It was Chen Gu! The Night Demon King was greatly shocked, his blank white eyes quickly turning blood red, but Chen Gu had already raised his hands and forcefully pierced through his chest!

The Night Demon King's Adam's apple moved up and down with difficulty a couple of times; thick, fresh blood gushed out of his mouth like a spring.

He could never have imagined how Chen Gu had managed to break through the bombardment of the demonic spear "Demon Moon."

"You, you…" he wanted to ask, but Chen Gu's hands were already seizing his organs, entirely dispatching them to some unknown location using Quantum Teleportation; the blood-red light in his eyes quickly extinguished.

As a powerful professional, he hadn't even been able to use his abilities before dying such a suffocating death.

Chen Gu let out a long breath, feeling weak all over, his brain buzzing. It was even more painful than when he had been attacked by Juglans with the "Silent Tuning Fork."

Using his skills consecutively, he had once again surpassed his limit!

Chen Gu was secretly cautious. Last time, it was because of the reckless use of his abilities that he had left behind hidden troubles. If it had not been for Qing Ruyan happening to be a Brain Domain Hacker who had pulled him back from the brink of insanity at the Moon Ship Hotel, he would have mutated.

He withdrew his hands from the Night Demon King's chest, feeling quite proud. This battle, compared to his recent clash with Juglans under extremely unfavorable circumstances, was a reversal completely under his control—unlike last time, which had involved a certain element of luck.

He was pretending to be someone from True Knowledge Sin merely to confirm with the Night Demon King whether he knew his true identity.

The Night Demon King relied on the demonic spear "Demon Moon." While it had an overwhelming advantage against any professional, it was hugely flawed against Chen Gu, because Chen Gu had three professions!

"Demon Moon" needed to compute intelligently to determine the target's profession and then generate appropriate countermeasures.

If the Night Demon King didn't know his real identity and mistook him for a member of True Knowledge Sin, Chen Gu could choose any of his three professions at will. Then, after the Night Demon King fired, Chen Gu would quickly switch memories. This would transform him into another profession, rendering "Demon Moon's" counter ability ineffective.

But this method had its risks; a slightly slow switch could mean being genuinely countered by "Demon Moon."

Therefore, Chen Gu did not immediately use this tactic to charge at the Night Demon King. There was also another problem: if he used this method directly and the Night Demon King *did* know Chen Gu's true identity, then if Chen Gu happened to choose his own original profession to charge first, he would be running straight into the line of fire.

Earlier, one of the Night Demon King's underlings had come over to whisper to him. After this, the Night Demon King found out what was really inside the box. This made Chen Gu suspect that the old trickster was very well-informed and probably already aware of his real identity.

Indeed, after testing, he confirmed this.

Therefore, Chen Gu did not hesitate to choose the second plan. He charged at the Night Demon King with his original profession. At the moment the latter fired, Chen Gu switched to being a Quantum Wizard, ensuring it was foolproof!

The shot generated by "Demon Moon" to counter a Radiation Missionary had no effect on a Quantum Wizard. Chen Gu used Quantum Teleportation to pass through the light mist formed by the bullets, reaching the Night Demon King and killing him in one strike!

After running wildly, Ken heard a groaning call from behind, "You heartless bastard, where are you running off to so fast? Come back and help me."

But Ken kept running without looking back, thinking, "It must be one of the Night Demon King's abilities, imitating Chen Gu's voice to call me! That's 'Demon Moon'; Chen Gu must have fallen…"

Chen Gu was furious, "Bullshit! Your old man here is alive and well. Get your ass back here now!"

Man Suling turned her head to look, and instantly, her state of profound sadness shifted to ecstatic joy. Her furry little paws rapidly slapped Ken's shoulders, "Boss, Boss, King… Chen Gu is still alive! He really is; he's killed the Night Demon King!"

Ken's shoulders suddenly showed streaks of blood, making him hiss in pain, "Retract your claws!"

"Oh—" Man Suling apologized, retracting her claws with a SWISH.

Ken turned his head, still somewhat disbelieving, "Could it be another 'Electric Light Operator'? A fake image?"

Chen Gu was resigned, "Damn it, I'm really alive… Do you want me to prove it? I could tell you some of your secrets, the kind only the two of us know about…"

"Stop!" Ken, wanting to maintain his image in front of Man Suling, quickly scampered back. "I won't doubt you anymore. Such unscrupulous behavior is definitely you; no mistake."

Chen Gu saw him scamper back like a cat that had its tail stepped on, with remarkable speed, and couldn't help but voice his admiration, "You truly are an idiot!"

He snatched the box from Ken's hand and then took the demonic spear, "Demon Moon," from the Night Demon King. He instructed Man Suling, who was obediently wagging her tail at him, to search Juglans' body, where she found the "Silent Tuning Fork" and "Mokosaro's Roar." Only then did he help Ken up, saying, "Let's go."

Ken and Man Suling handed all the spoils of war to Chen Gu. Although Chen Gu didn't mention it along the way, Ken felt his old face burning with embarrassment.

He was a mighty Second Energy Level, but in both key battles, he had played no role…

Man Suling had been somewhat useful, but it also seemed she could have been dispensed with.

The two of them helped Chen Gu, and finally reached the cave entrance. However, they hesitated, skittish as birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, not daring to step out immediately.

Man Suling lifted her nose to sniff. "It's the smell of nature, no mistake. This is the real exit."

Only then did the three of them file out one by one. The warm sunlight outside was wonderfully comforting. Man Suling, a Mountain Werewolf, stretched her body toward the light, displaying her fine physique.

Chen Gu also felt as if he were a plant that, after months of rain, had finally received the warmth of the sunlight.

He was the first to notice, right behind the "Giant Tree Ball Field," a native plant. It extended its lush, maple-red leaves and branches, embracing the entire ballpark wasteland like a majestic father.

It was enormously thick and tall, a single tree forming a forest. Its trunk would take seven or eight people to encircle with their arms, and its spread of branches covered an area even larger than the entire field.

Despite not knowing how many years it had lived, the tree was still full of life, its bark not having that gnarled and mottled look of old age.

The entire tree, from top to bottom, was a comfortable maple-red to behold. The only difference was that the trunk, amidst this red, showed a hint of dark green, while the branches were a deeper shade of red than the leaves. The leaves themselves, somewhat resembling maple leaves, were a very pure, striking red.

From a distance, the tree faced the sunlight, shining with a crystal-like radiance, like coral or agate.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Ken came over and patted him on the shoulder. "If it weren't for the 'Poison of the Gods,' the sight of this tree alone could have turned this place into an upscale residential area or a world-famous park. What a pity."

Shaking his head, Ken urged, "Let's move on. We should hurry back."
