Bang!

Another massive piece of iron fell to the ground.

The gunmen instantly changed color, instinctively gripping their rifles, tense to the extreme.

"Why is there sound coming from the ruins?"

"That's the sound of iron falling; something is emerging from beneath the ruins!"

"Impossible! In a place like this, any normal person would have died long ago, could it be a demon crawling out again!"

The gunmen discussed excitedly, shocked by the scene before them, doubting their own reality.

But no one mentioned Night Emperor's name.

Because to them, it was impossible for any living person to survive the explosion, not even Night Emperor.

Bang!

Another huge rock and iron piece were pushed aside, and then a dark shadow sprang out of the ruins.

His steps were slow, but each step was exceptionally resolute, quickly arriving in front of everyone.

"Ah!"

The gunmen gasped, this dark fellow in front of them was indeed a person!

The person standing before them was all charcoal black, covered in tattered strips of cloth, looking even more ragged than a beggar who hadn't eaten for ten days. Yet, his posture was tall, and his dark face had a pair of bright eyes not covered by dirt and dust.

At this moment, those eyes contained complexity, staring at the top of a distant high-rise.

That's where Gun Demon was located, Gun Demon's face had plunged into a long solemnness. And his subordinates beside him, with a dumbstruck expression, looked like they were dazed.

"Cap... Captain, is this actually real?"

After a long time, just as his subordinate's jaw was about to dislocate, he finally came to his senses, speaking with a trembling voice.

"I also wish it was fake. But everything happened just like this."

Gun Demon's voice was cold, with much helplessness hidden within: "No wonder it's Night Emperor, even such an explosion couldn't hurt you!"

Centered, that dark figure was Qin Hao, his mood filled with anger and admiration.

He was angry that damn Gun Demon dared use ten tons of explosives on him.

Such a level of explosion could destroy an entire building.

Yet now, it's used on a mere body.

Utter waste!

And admiration for Gun Demon's ruthlessness, willing to use his subordinates as bait, spending so much money without hesitation.

"Good fellow, did I go digging your ancestors' graves or what, that you had to be this ruthless!"

Reaching the height of his anger, Qin Hao instead shook his head full of helplessness.

By this time, on the distant rooftop, Gun Demon had taken out a huge loudspeaker, shouting: "Night Emperor, you didn't disappoint me!"

Hey, he even prepared a loudspeaker; looks like this guy anticipated he couldn't kill me.

Qin Hao grimaced, moving his arms, half of his body feeling numb.

Earlier, if it were anyone else, they'd probably have been blown to bits and ashes.

But Qin Hao wasn't an ordinary person, he had danced with the Death God countless times throughout his life.

One could say, his life was spent this way, relying on rich experience, his secret technique helped him burrow underground the moment flames engulfed him.

This level of explosion wasn't survivable just by going underground, so to be safe, Qin Hao also used his Vajra Stone Technique today.

With the ground reducing explosion impact, and Vajra Stone Technique shield for defense...

Even so, Qin Hao suffered intense shock, the pain in his organs felt like they had shifted positions.

Despite being able to stand, his body had entered a critical injury phase, holding on purely by willpower.

"Hoo..."

Exhaustion and injury surged, Qin Hao, feeling ready to faint any moment, but to exact revenge and to survive, he desperately gasped for breath, clenched his fists, driving his nails into his flesh to stimulate himself.

Meanwhile, a few doubts flashed in his mind.

Thinking back now, Gun Demon sending his subordinates to attack was not to kill him.

His main goal was using his subordinates as bait, successfully luring him into this set trap.

Each step in this game was exceptionally skillful; seemingly simple but really quite challenging, impossible to make any mistake.

Behind the strategy, it also revealed an obvious fact.

Gun Demon knew him very well!

Knew his temperament, knew his martial prowess, knew his everything!

"Who the hell are you!"

Due to doubt, Qin Hao could no longer hold back, with Inner Strength built up to his chest, shouting toward the distant building.

In the distance, Gun Demon's face full of scars showed maliciousness and resentment: "Night Emperor, don't you recognize my voice?"

Qin Hao was speechless: Idiot, you're holding a loudspeaker, the sound is distorted, how could I recognize it?

Besides, I've met so many people in my life, how could I possibly remember everyone's voice?

But he said calmly, "Not everyone is worth remembering."

"Hey. After all these years, Night Emperor's character is still the same, wasn't it worth my endless nights of investigation and research."

Gun Demon's voice turned incensed, he couldn't believe after having been injured so badly by Night Emperor, the latter had no recollection of it?

His controlled emotions broke down, roaring: "Three years ago, you destroyed my squad to save Giggs! Do you remember!"

That shout woke Qin Hao instantly, surprised: "Oh, so you were a soldier from the United States? But wasn't that squad eliminated by me? How could you still be alive?"

That explained why he couldn't remember, there were quite a few soldiers back then, though his memory was excellent, he had no reason to waste memorizing a minor character.

Speaking of that matter, Gun Demon's fury reached its peak, teeth clenched tightly, roaring: "Night Emperor, you only aimed to kill the enemy, unaware someone was playing dead all along!"

"I see."

Qin Hao nodded, wanting to give Gun Demon a thumbs up but lacked the strength, only sighed: "To survive, you played dead, it's normal you could endure and scheme to reach this point today."

Gun Demon hadn't expected, at such a life-and-death moment, Night Emperor remained so composed.

He anticipated, even if alive, Night Emperor would be close to dying, losing the courage to resist due to fear, maybe even begging for life.

If that were the case, Gun Demon thought, he could avenge the humiliation from three years ago.

Yet who knew, Qin Hao followed no such plotline, not only standing but acting and speaking with such leisure?

One could say, Gun Demon almost exploded with anger, shouting: "Night Emperor, stop pretending, I know you're just a spent force, if you beg now, I might consider sparing you!"

Gun Demon believed his words were forceful, content well-managed, giving someone in hopeless straits a thread of hope to survive, a normal person would likely kneel and plead immediately.

Yet, after he spoke, the result was far from his expectations.

Qin Hao's black face showed an odd expression, as if he saw the world's funniest scene.

Then, he laughed, the smile was so mocking, just as it was three years ago.

"Idiot."

This was Qin Hao's response.
