Chapter 1147: A Matter of Life and Death
Lin Chen's gaze was icy as he stared at the eighth prince: "What exactly do you want?"
The eighth prince snorted and threw a seven-colored necklace to Lin Chen.
"Put it on!"
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. He naturally recognized the necklace; it was the one worn by Li Tianci's wife, who was just blown up.
"If you don't put on this necklace, I'll blow up the people in the square right now."
Lin Chen looked at the necklace on the ground and said coldly: "I can put it on, but you must release the people on the square first. Otherwise, if I put on the necklace and you don't release them, wouldn't I have died unjustly?"
"That's impossible. If I let them go first, what if you decide not to wear it?" The eighth prince snorted.
Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then said solemnly: "How about this, you release the women, the elderly, and children first, then I'll put on the necklace."
"Alright, fine." The eighth prince nodded.
With a wave of his hand, several people in black turned and left.
Soon the square was noisy, but Lin Chen glanced out the window and was stunned.
Outside, those people in black were indeed letting people go, but they were all men.
The men, once freed, rushed like a tide towards safety, even some men who were unwilling to leave their wives and children were forcibly pulled away.
"I said to release the elderly, women, and children." Lin Chen stared coldly at the eighth prince.
"You don't get to choose, I'll release whoever I want." The eighth prince laughed coldly, his face showing a mocking smile.
"Damn, this eighth prince is really cunning!" Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.
The opponent released the men, leaving behind the elderly, children, and women, which made the rescue more difficult.
The eighth prince snorted: "Well, I've done what you asked, now it's your turn."
Lin Chen said solemnly: "Alright!"
Nodding, Lin Chen picked up the necklace from the ground.
This necklace was very heavy, and there was a clasp on it.
Lin Chen picked up the necklace and put it around his neck.
Click!
The clasp automatically locked.
Watching Lin Chen lock the clasp, the eighth prince's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
"Where's my fifth brother's corpse?" The eighth prince asked coldly.
With a thought, Lin Chen summoned Wu Ming's corpse to appear in the middle of the room.
Looking at Wu Ming's corpse, the eighth prince's face showed a savage expression.
"First, you killed my ninth brother, and now my fifth brother, Lin Chen, you deserve to die!" The eighth prince said coldly.
Lin Chen snorted: "Shouldn't you be the ones to die for the things you've done? China is not your playground, if you dare to commit crimes here, you should be prepared to stay."
"Hahaha, our Dark Alliance will be the ruler of the world someday. What do you think you are?" The eighth prince's eyes chilled.
"Okay, I've done as you asked, release those innocent people!" Lin Chen said solemnly.
The eighth prince laughed coldly: "Don't rush, the show isn't over yet!"
As he spoke, the eighth prince leaned back on the sofa and opened the screen monitor.
In the video appeared Zhang Yu, Geng Hao, and Xu Wei.
They led twenty SWAT members cautiously through the air conditioning vents into the basement.
Dammit, as soon as Lin Chen entered, he realized the sixth prince wasn't there. Apparently, he went after another team of people.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, cold lights pierced through the darkness, and those SWAT members fell to the ground, struck by arrows.
Zhang Yu and the others reacted quickly, hiding in the darkness.
Watching the images on the video, the eighth prince chuckled softly: "Looks like some little mice have scurried into our trap."
Lin Chen's gaze flashed with a touch of coldness: "You should release the people now."
"Haha, your little life is now in my hands. Do you think you still have the right to negotiate?" The eighth prince laughed arrogantly.
Lin Chen's gaze narrowed, a golden light flashed in his eyes.
However, to Lin Chen's surprise, his Soul Capturing Technique was blocked by a force.
Seeing Lin Chen's bewildered expression, the eighth prince sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Why is your mental attack ineffective? Feeling surprised?" The eighth prince mocked.
"Do you have a spiritual artifact to defend against mental attacks?" Lin Chen's heart sank.
"Congratulations on guessing correctly." The eighth prince's lips curled into a cold smile.
"I've long known you'd use mental attacks, do you have any other tricks? Today, Lin Chen, I'll let you watch your brothers and your woman die at my hands, then I'll blow you up completely!" The eighth prince said viciously.
Lin Chen sighed: "Alright, I admit your plan is flawless, and you certainly have talent controlling bombs with Qi. But if I seal all the Qi in your body, wouldn't that render all the bombs you set up ineffective?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the eighth prince's face changed: "What did you say?"
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips: "We've dealt with each other more than once, you know me and I know you just as well. You're not qualified to kill me."
With that, Lin Chen shook his wrist and a silver needle shot into the eighth prince's body like lightning.
The eighth prince's expression shifted, quickly trying to activate the bomb on Lin Chen, but he was shocked to find that the Qi within his body had cut its connection with him.
"How is this possible?"
The eighth prince's face changed suddenly as he tried to activate the bombs in the square, to no avail.
"Damn it!" The eighth prince turned to flee but felt a chill in his chest. As he looked down, he saw a radiant sword had already pierced his body.
Knowing how dangerous the eighth prince was, heartless and ruthless, Lin Chen couldn't let him escape this time.
As life began to fade, the eighth prince laughed loudly.
"Lin Chen, I underestimated you, but do you think you've won? Don't celebrate too early, the show isn't over yet!"
As his voice ended, the eighth prince collapsed, lifeless.
Click! The code lock on Lin Chen's neck opened.
Although this necklace lock was very complex and impossible for anyone else to open, for Xiao Shuai, it was a piece of cake.
With the eighth prince dead, Lin Chen dared not delay, simultaneously notifying the police to evacuate the crowd and rushing towards the underground garage.
At this moment, the underground garage was engulfed in a fierce battle. Those SWAT members who had fallen to the ground stood back up, fighting with another group of mechanical soldiers.
It turned out those people weren't SWAT but mechanical soldiers controlled by Geng Hao.
However, Geng Hao only had over twenty mechanical soldiers, while the sixth prince controlled over a hundred, trapping the three in a fierce fight.
Soon one after another of Geng Hao's mechanical soldiers fell under the encirclement, the three quickly surrounded in the center by a heap of mechanical soldiers.
The sixth prince looked coldly at the three: "Do you think you can oppose our Dark Alliance with your rabble? Today you will all die here."
As his voice fell, those mechanical soldiers charged at the three like a pack of hungry wolves.
