Chapter 596: Brain Over Emotion
Chapter 596: Brain Over Emotion
It was just the first exchange.
In the blink of an eye, he had already controlled two Saintesses!
Zhong Lan and Adele!
Shift Positions, combined with the Shadow Clone Technique.
And that elusive concealment of his aura.
“Damn! Ling God is amazing! Ling God is amazing!”
“I give up! I completely give up! I used to think it was too early for Ling God to participate in this kind of death match, but I was clueless!”
“A level 70 non-specialist lone figure dominating level 99 prodigies from the evil organization! Only Ling God can do that in the entire world, right!?”
“I feel like in Ling God’s eyes, there are only two types of enemies: those below level 100 and those above level 100!”
“I don’t know why, but I feel like Ling God could even go a few rounds against level 100 powerhouses...”
“Alright, alright, that’s too much hype! Being unbeatable below level 100, sure, but if you say Ling Zhan could go toe-to-toe with level 100 powerhouses, that’s pure nonsense!”
“True... The power of Order that level 100, fourth-tier possess sets them apart from mere mortals. No matter how amazing Ling God is, it’s hard to cross that chasm...”
“By the way, what happens when Ling God reaches level 100? After all, fourth-tier powerhouses have Order, but Ling God, being non-specialist, has none!”
With this comment.
The audience that had been boiling with excitement suddenly fell silent.
The age-old question came up again!
Late game!
Still late game!
While Ling Zhan was indeed crushing everyone below level 100, everyone knew that his strength was based on talent evolution.
Talent evolution itself was a one-in-a-billion chance.
And Ling Zhan had seemingly evolved multiple times already!
It felt as if he could keep evolving!
But to evolve at the level 100 threshold... that was like reaching for the stars!
“Enough! Stop doubting him! That’s something Ling God has to worry about, not us. Let’s just enjoy the match!”
At this moment, someone tried to stop the depressive mood from spreading.
At this very moment.
Within the secret battlefield.
Adele’s situation wasn’t as bad—only her movements, skills, and talents were sealed. Her body wasn’t harmed; at least, Ling Zhan hadn’t physically attacked her yet.
Zhong Lan, however, was in a miserable state.
Due to the position swap, she ended up being viciously attacked by her own teammates.
When she tried to heal herself, she found herself restrained by Ling Zhan, unable to treat her injuries, forced to endure the pain as her HP drained rapidly.
But she didn’t beg for mercy and kept biting her lips, enduring it.
She knew that in front of this man, begging was useless!
Unless his mood suddenly shifted and he decided to spare you, pleading would do nothing!
“So, what do you all plan to do now?”
“Are you going to ignore the lives of these two comrades and continue fighting me, or obediently kneel and beg for mercy?”
Ling Zhan’s smile at this moment was as cold as a demon’s!
To an outsider watching, it would seem as though Ling Zhan was the real demon king!
“Hmph! If you want to kill, kill! Why waste words!?”
Li Sheng naturally wouldn’t submit. Besides...
Zhong Lan meant nothing to him.
Even though they were lovers, having rolled in bed countless times, people like them didn’t care about love. They’d even cut down their own parents.
Why would he surrender for Zhong Lan?
Not a chance!
Not just Li Sheng; even the lower-ranked evil organization members weren’t willing to put themselves in a passive position for Zhong Lan or Adele.
Sure, they respected the Saintesses, even knelt to lick their boots on normal days.
But in a moment like this...
Sorry, better you than me!
You want to die, go ahead; just don’t drag me down!
“No! Don’t hurt Adele!”
However.
There was always someone driven by emotion.
The birdman named ‘David’ immediately shouted.
It was clear—he really liked... no, at a moment like this, it could even be called love.
“Oh? Are you willing to kneel and beg for her life?”
Ling Zhan smiled.
But his smile was as cold and terrifying as a demon’s.
At this moment, Ling Zhan wasn’t the villain, but he was scarier than one!
To the audience, Ling Zhan seemed like a classic TV villain threatening the hero and heroine.
Making them want to tear him to pieces.
“I am willing! Just spare Adele! I’m willing to take her place as your hostage!”
David immediately replied sincerely.
He even...
Thud! He preemptively knelt down!
Whoa!!
The audience erupted once more.
Many love-struck young women covered their mouths, touched by the scene.
And more touching still...
Crack!!
David swung his own blade, using his razor-sharp wings to cut off both of his arms in an instant!
“I am willing to trade my life for Adele’s!”
“Please, spare her!”
David’s low, pleading voice echoed.
Adele could only cry and shake her head.
A melodramatic scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
“Ling Zhan, please spare this couple...”
At that moment.
Even more outrageous—many female spectators were moved to plead on behalf of the blackbird couple, hoping Ling Zhan would spare them.
You see...
No matter the world, there would always be bleeding hearts and love-blinded fools.
And quite a few of them.
Although Ling Zhan and his opponents were within the secret battlefield, the competition organizers had made the environment interactive.
The reactions of the audience outside were transmitted into the battlefield.
Since this wasn’t an official competition—just a rule-free death match—there was no concern about the audience’s influence on the participants.
At this moment.
Hearing the clamor from the audience, Ling Zhan’s cold smile vanished, replaced by indifferent apathy!
Fools were truly abundant!
In Ling Zhan’s previous life, there had been similar cases.
Those deluded bleeding hearts or love-blinded fools would watch TV shows glorifying drug lords and dream of some twisted romance.
But they didn’t know how many lives were sacrificed behind that glorified facade.
This situation was exactly the same.
They only saw the beauty of love.
But they seemed to ignore how many innocent people had been killed by this bird couple, how many heinous acts they had committed.
So...
Slash!!
Ling Zhan slashed Adele’s throat without hesitation.
And not just that...
Bang!
With a stomp, Adele’s head shattered like a watermelon!
