Chapter 117: The Death of Li Cheng

Two days later.

Through the joint efforts of the politically correct half-demon anglers and the Demon Race Underwear Enforcement Squad, the population of the City of Deception had dropped by forty percent compared to four days prior.

And the population ratio between half-demons and the Demon Race had also shifted from the initial one to ten, to the current four to six.

Miserable screams and shouts echoed in every corner of the City of Deception; the city's law enforcement agencies such as the Law Enforcement Bureau and the Judicial Bureau had already been seized by half-demons.

The government's credibility had plummeted to its lowest point since the founding of the City of Deception.

The entire city fell into chaos and panic.

Yet the City Hall remained that same City Hall.

Everything was operating in an orderly fashion, exactly as Li Cheng had envisioned.

Inside the Administrative Director's office.

Mr. Piert paced back and forth before the magic call, shaking his head one moment and sighing the next; his already thinning hair had fallen out even more these past two days, making him little different from a thirty-five-year-old programmer.

Just then, a ringing sound resounded.

Pilt glanced at the caller's name, his face revealing delight.

"Your Excellency the Mayor, you have finally received my letter."

A silver-haired, brown-skinned bewitching mature woman emerged in the visual projection.

This was the current Mayor of the City of Deception, Lady Kristin, an Abyss Spirit.

"Pilt, you know full well I am in a meeting at the Abyss Council, yet you contacted me repeatedly; what exactly has happened?"

"Your Excellency the Mayor, you are unaware—that big shot's child, Mister Buxi, is about to set the City of Deception ablaze! If this continues, before long the entire city will turn into a pile of ashes!"

"A big shot's child, Mister Buxi? Pilt, what are you talking about?" Mayor Kristin was doubtful.

"What?" Pilt's pupils contracted: "You don't know about that Mister Buxi matter?"

"Tell me in detail." Kristin's eyes sank.

Minutes later, a roar exploded in the office.

"Trash, truly a bunch of trash, to actually be played around by a Second Stage youth—trash, you are all trash!"

Facing Kristin's fury, Pilt sat upright like a good child, his head bowed in humiliation.

His face flushed hot.

What Half-Demon Discrimination Protection Law, what Underwear Enforcement Squad—fake, all of it fake.

Never expected that at his advanced age, he would actually be played around by a little brat.

Shame, truly too shameful.

Recalling his own appearance from a few days ago with underwear on his head, he gritted his teeth.

Hardened, his fists had already hardened.

"What are you still standing there dazed for?" Kristin slammed the table: "Hurry up and go kill him!"

"My Lady Mayor." Pilt wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, deliberating carefully: "Although that brat is a liar, there is something strange about him; he can effortlessly kill a Seventh Rank half-demon in an instant."

"Oh? You're afraid?"

"This subordinate dares not."

"Hehe, admitting your fear is nothing to be ashamed of, Pilt." Kristin covered her mouth laughing, her eyes full of cold light: "But remember, if you and I weren't on the same side, just this matter alone would be enough for you to die ten thousand times over."

"This subordinate knows his error." Pilt lowered his head further.

"Mm, you don't make a fuss for now, and don't show any cracks." Kristin tapped the table again: "I'm returning tonight; when the time comes, I will personally deal with that Mister Buxi."

"Hehe, I'll make him regret coming before us."

"Yes, Adult." Pilt smiled without changing expression.

Although Mayor Kristin was also Seventh Rank like him, her combat power far surpassed his; she even had a record of killing an Eighth Rank powerhouse, and could be called a living legend within the City of Deception.

With her taking action, everything would be settled.

Mister Buxi's life was now like a candle flickering in the wind. —On the other side.

The demon fly rotating before him lost its last life force, fell to the ground, and turned to ashes.

Li Cheng leaned against the office chair, his gaze sweeping over the City of Deception through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Dusk was approaching; the city, a sea of fire, exuded a bizarre charm.

Thanks to the dead of the City of Deception, his Abyss Reputation had long since broken through the ten-thousand mark; the demon fly that just died was a one-time relic he had exchanged using reputation.

Its function was concealed eavesdropping.

The conversation in Pilt's office just now had all entered his ears.

Lilith stood beside him, holding her face and making exaggerated color art: "Li Cheng, what do we do, we've been exposed!"

"Isn't exposure inevitable? The Mayor's letter wasn't written by her in the first place." Li Cheng glanced at her.

"Why are you still so calm? Haven't you already seen Kristin's file?" Lilith hugged her head: "She's strong, very strong; if she comes back, you're dead!"

Li Cheng nodded noncommittally.

These past two days, while the outside of the City of Deception was in an uproar, he hadn't been idle either.

The candidate roster recording the information of powerhouses in the City Hall and even the entire City of Deception lay right before him.

One must admit, Kristin's combat record is indeed terrifying; just the pre-epoch human powerhouses who died at her hands number no fewer than twenty.

Among these dead, the weakest were Seventh Rank, and the strongest was just a step away from Ninth Rank.

Most terrifying of all, Kristin's win rate in all battles she participated in reached one hundred percent.

Even that mage who was a step away from Ninth Rank, after detonating his own soul in a must-kill strike, failed to kill this Mayor.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a living legend of the City of Deception.

Being targeted by such a monster, one really doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Li Cheng, I think we'd better hide." Lilith said: "Anyway the secret realm only has two days left, and you've already gotten the S-rank identity card; even if we don't do the remaining tasks, the gains are beyond what ordinary people can compare. There's no need to desperately fight that kind of monster."

Li Cheng ignored Lilith's suggestion; instead, he was resting his hand on Lilith's chest, checking his Magic Badge Stone count.

After killing Anka, he also took time to grind a few more mob groups; by now his Magic Badge Stone quantity had reached nearly 3000 pieces.

And the cooldown of One Eye, which would explode if you looked at it one more time, had also ended.

This amount should already be enough to blow Kristin's head into fragments.

Such a strong enemy, the equipment she drops should also be quite good, right?

Li Cheng thought for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Just as his plan was about to succeed, a meddling dark-skinned mature woman popped out.

No need to think; she is already seeking death!

If he can cannon-execute this Deception Mayor, then this Secret Realm would be equivalent to cleared.

But Li Cheng has always been cautious.

Facing a BOSS he has never killed before, he always considers the risk first, then the reward.

Considering Kristin's combat record, he must prepare for the possibility that he cannot beat her.

Thinking like this, Li Cheng searched on the Mother Goddess of Suffering's stone tablet.

His Abyss Reputation this high is the capital to challenge Kristin.

After a round of selection, he bought two Relics from the Mother Goddess, and his Abyss Reputation was consumed down to only 2000 points.

"Cheng Big Brother."

Just then, Miss Vivian pushed the door open and entered.

Her lips were still slightly red and swollen, red and moist and full of elasticity.

Four eyes met, and Vivian shyly turned her head away again.

An ambiguous atmosphere reverberated between the two.

These two days, Li Cheng and Vivian would get intimate from time to time, cultivating feelings; although they hadn't pierced the window paper, completed that final step, the progress was extremely fast.

Vivian's kissing technique has been trained up.

Presumably before leaving this Secret Realm, he will definitely be able to taste the flavor of a Half-Demon.

"What do you want to eat tonight, Cheng Big Brother?" Vivian tossed her hair: "Mhm, I'll make it for you."

"Tonight I won't come back to eat."

"Ah? Going out?"

"Mhm."

Li Cheng rubbed her head, smiling against the setting sun, but his eyes were full of killing intent. — Night fell.

Darkness devoured the evening sun; the suddenly descending cold air made the leaves hang a layer of cold frost. Unlike the sparks flying everywhere inside the City of Deception, the Official Road surrounded by woods was eerily quiet.

The Magic Carriage with hanging lanterns kept swaying on the gravel road; the friction sound of the wheels and the swaying sound of the lanterns quietly added a few touches of elegant melody to the night.

Li Cheng lay prone on one side of the road, silently measuring the distance. Lilith also lay prone beside him, using two tree branches to block her head, trembling.

Li Cheng glanced at her, unable to figure out what this Artificial Intelligence was doing.

Clearly only he himself can see her; what is she hiding for here?

Just then, the carriage finally approached the trap prepared long ago.

Only a "neigh" of a horse was heard, and the Magic Carriage fell into the pit.

Sharp spikes had long been buried in that pit by Karenina.

Immediately after, Li Cheng pulled a rope again, and rubble fell from the cliffs on both sides, smashing down into the pit.

After several rumbles, smoke curled, sand flew and stones rolled.

Lilith also stood up: "Got her?"

"How could it be that simple."

As Li Cheng's words fell, giant rocks shattered, and Mayor Kristin rushed up from the cave.

Her Long Robe had been pierced with gash after gash by the spikes, revealing the brown skin underneath.

Two at-least-E-Rank buns broke free of their bindings; whether the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere's clothes, all were torn to rags.

"Wanting to ambush me with such a trick, isn't that a bit too naive, Mr. Unknown."

Kristin smiled like a flower and licked her finger, her gaze turning to the left side.

A qi vortex flew past; only a rumble was heard, and nearly half the trees were severed at the waist.

The prone Li Cheng also had nowhere to hide, exposed in Kristin's field of view.

But he did not panic, expressionlessly watching the wounds on Kristin that were currently healing.

The trap just now was never meant to kill her, only to test whether Physical Attack works on this BOSS.

Li Cheng has always been cautious; in case Kristin has the trait of immunity to physical damage, Li Cheng would just run away directly, no need to waste time with her.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that you, a Second Stage piece of trash, would dare ambush me, hehe, truly unheard of." Kristin walked slowly toward Li Cheng, the smile on her face growing more and more dangerous:

"But your methods are really too childish; do you really think coating a long spear with poison can kill me?"

"Who told you I coated it with poison?" Li Cheng expressionless.

"What?"

Kristin frowned, and immediately her legs suddenly clamped tight, and a charming flush rose on her face.

You, your spear has poison! No, it has Lustful Red Tea!

And it's high-proof!

Kristin only felt the Abyss Patterns on her body suddenly obstructed, and her reaction speed also plummeted.

She braced against a tree trunk, panting heavily, full of seductive charm.

Li Cheng looked at her appearance, and his heart eased slightly.

This was the Red Tea he spent 3000 Prestige Points to buy from the Lust Mother Goddess, said to be a terrifying drug that could make even a Demigod go into heat for two seconds.

Once hit by this stuff, even if Kristin was stronger, she would be hard-controlled for half a minute.

Thus, Big Boss expressionless: "Gift of God."

"Little hybrid, daring to defile me like this, I will surely make your soul——"

Miss Kristin, who was still spewing harsh words, eye trembled, voice also came to an abrupt halt.

She looked at her own continuously swelling abdominal cavity, listening to the heartbeat transmitted through bone conduction into her brain, face showing doubt.

What drug did this guy give me exactly?

Is it the Birth Spirit Water of the Lust Cult? Why would getting hit mean having a baby! But Kristin is Kristin after all, different from those trash Big Boss tortured before, she slightly narrowed her eyes, then mobilized power, directly contracted a certain organ of her body, crushing the two lives just born.

This was nothing difficult for her at all.

Fresh blood flowed along her thighs to her ankles, the killing intent in Kristin's eyes a hundred times more vigorous than just now.

"Did not expect you would so decisively kill your own child. What is filial piety, what is love, I am willing to call you the strongest!" Big Boss revealed a smile, then crooked mouth, smiling threw out two Fireball Techniques.

Those fireballs accurately hit Kristin's face, three "Dad Loves Me" resounded from the smoke.

He used Stare and Conceive Dragon Twins and Master Tata's spell at this time, to test whether his ability worked on Kristin.

Also to test that Kristin indeed has the concept of having a face.

No way, he only had 3000 Magic Badge Stones, only enough to blow up Kristin once.

Big Boss is just this kind of cautious person.

Now all tests are done, he can finally unleash the sure-kill.

"Little hybrid, I have never seen such a disgusting bastard like you."

Kristin in tattered Long Robe slowly walked out from the smoke, in half a minute's time, experienced maiden's spring heart, abortion miscarriage, and recognizing a thief as father three kinds of pain deceptive Mayor, at this moment almost lost rationality.

She never thought there would be such a bastard using such low-down tricks in this world.

The Abyss's atmosphere is all brought crooked by bastards like you!

Thinking thus, Kristin eyes condensed, palm gathered a miniature Black Hole, violent suction made all surrounding things annihilate bit by bit.

"What a pity, no matter how low-down these tricks, impossible to harm me." She slowly walked toward Big Boss, face hanging a pathological and longing smile: "Rest assured, I won't let you die so simply."

"I will make you into a surname doll, let you in silent darkness, watch yourself be squeezed dry and, wait what's wrong, my head——"

Kristin's words not yet finished, hugged her own head, began intense struggle.

She could feel, a terrifying power from unknown origin, suddenly drilled into her skull.

That like comet impact power, made her head ache to splitting.

She felt her head would explode.

And her feeling was completely correct.

"Stop, stop, damn it, stop——Bang!"

With a huge sound, scream abruptly stopped, and her head also directly exploded open.

Red pink white debris, like heavenly maiden scattering flowers, drifted toward the Sky.

The miniature Black Hole in hand lost control, directly berserk suction sucked all those debris into it.

And Kristin lost head body, also twitched a few times then, forward fell on ground, fell down on ground.

Her thighs still twitching, as if still not reacted to her head disappearing.

"Solved?" Lilith poked head out from behind Big Boss, shockingly opened Mouth wide: "Big Boss, wow, you're so amazing, you actually solved such a strong enemy, now this Secret Realm completely becomes our Amusement Park!"

"Not right."

But Big Boss's face completely had no joy of killing strong enemy.

Instead seriously looked at Kristin's Corpse.

"Not right? Where not right?"

Lilith doubtfully scratched head, looked at her own handbook.

【Your Savior used Comet Magic: Motionless Dust Star detonated Kristin, you consumed 2987 Magic Badge Stones.】

【He cross-level defeated strong enemy Kristin (LV74), gained excess Experience Points.】

【Because his level temporarily not gained Breakthrough, these Experience Points converted to Magic Badge Stones, he gained 4210 Magic Badge Stones.】

"This isn't no problem? You already defeated her?"

"System prompt says defeat, not kill, go!"

Big Boss not any one bit hesitation, pulled legs just ran.

And at the position he just stood, two tentacles directly broke through soil emerged, straight pierced dome.

If just now Big Boss had not dodged past, he would already have been pierced successfully.

"How can it be, that guy's head not already exploded? Why would..." Lilith pupils shaky, couldn't understand.

And Kristin also both hands propped ground, slowly stood up.

Big Boss used peripheral vision observing her, pupils shrank suddenly.

Only saw her upper body, from between two mounds split open a Crack, countless sharp teeth and tentacles, extended from that Crack.

And those two snow-white mounds' dots, also like eyes opened.

That is simply not any woman's upper body, that is Kristin's True Body!

The head growing on her neck, merely bait to attract enemy attacks! Just like Anglerfish uses to hunt bait! "Fuck, what ghost thing! My San Value about to drop empty!"

Lilith loud roar, pair of beautiful legs became like Cat and Mouse wheels, carrying her all the way head-down mad sprint.

And Kristin's just blown-up head, also bit by bit regrew out.
