Chapter 541: Chapter 537 Wei Quan

"Mr. Louis."

At this moment, a staff member reported, "Mr. Tang has disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Louis’s expression changed slightly. In a deep tone, he asked, "What happened?"

"I don’t know. Their room is equipped with surveillance cameras. I just checked, and there’s nobody inside. Mr. Tang and his entourage have all vanished."

Louis sneered to himself, "It seems those guys weren’t sincere about working with us. Activate all surveillance. We must find their whereabouts at all costs."

"Yes."

...

District C.

He Ziyun watched the retreating security personnel, yet he couldn’t relax. With his years of experience, he faintly sensed a whiff of unease.

As he pondered, a series of crisp footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor. He Ziyun looked up and saw a person appearing at the end of the passage. To be precise, it was a man in his forties. His stride was strong, his posture upright, and a sharp light shone in his eyes.

As the man approached, He Ziyun immediately felt an overwhelming aura.

A master!

He Ziyun’s pupils contracted slightly. The man before him was not just a master, but a master ranked on the Earthly List.

No wonder those security guards had withdrawn. It turned out a master had been dispatched.

"He Ziyun." The man spoke coldly, "I know you, ranked seventh on the Earthly List."

"Who are you?"

"Wei Quan."

"As a Huaxia national, you assist the God Organization in targeting your own countrymen. Don’t you feel ashamed?"

Wei Quan’s lips curled slightly, his smile cold as he said, "I don’t care about that. As long as I can become stronger, I’m willing to do even the most shameful things. A year ago, I was just an obscure figure, unknown in the Martial Arts world. But today, a year later, I’ve become a master of the Earthly List. For me, this place is a land of fortune. It is where I was reborn."

"People like you, even with high Martial Arts skills, are still the scum of the Martial Arts world."

"Is that so? Well then, I shall see for myself who is the scum."

As his words fell, Wei Quan sneered, suddenly leaning forward with the power of his legs. In an instant, he had closed in on He Ziyun, his fist hurtling towards the face.

He Ziyun stepped back, his waist bending backwards, dodging Wei Quan’s fist. Then, he shifted his feet lightly, moving to Wei Quan’s side, his palm slightly raised and slowly pressing out. His movement seemed slow, but the Inner Strength it contained reached a terrifying level. Once hit, it would not necessarily kill, but could at least cause Wei Quan serious injury.

Sensing the powerful force in the palm, Wei Quan’s face changed in surprise. He tapped his feet rapidly, swiftly evading He Ziyun’s attack range. As He Ziyun’s Inner Strength dispersed in the air, Wei Quan once again closed the distance, throwing punches from left and right, channeling his Power into them and bringing about a gusting sound.

Through their brief exchange, He Ziyun had gauged Wei Quan’s strength. Both of them were evenly matched. Now, without avoiding any further, He Ziyun raised his palm, attacking with full force, ready to clash with Wei Quan’s assault.

But, at that moment, two fierce bursts of wind shot out suddenly from Wei Quan’s sleeves, aiming straight for He Ziyun’s face.

This sudden change surprised He Ziyun.

With less than a meter between them, it was impossible for He Ziyun, even with his swift reflexes, to avoid the attack from the sleeve arrows.

Swoosh!

In an instant, a deep cut appeared on He Ziyun’s left cheek, his face instantly stained with fresh blood.

"You are nothing more than this," Wei Quan said with a smirk of triumph.

"Despicable!"

"The victor is king; the vanquished is the bandit. What’s wrong with being despicable?"

After saying that, Wei Quan sneered coldly and pounced on He Ziyun once again.

Watching the approaching Wei Quan, He Ziyun’s face turned somewhat unsightly. To think that a high-ranking fighter from the Earthly List would resort to such vile tactics. It was truly difficult to guard against an opponent of equal strength using such means.

Seeing He Ziyun retreating step by step, not daring to confront him head-on, Wei Quan couldn’t help but scoff, "What’s the matter? Scared?"

After speaking, Wei Quan advanced his steps, ready to continue his aggression. But at this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly struck from behind.

"Who is it?"

Wei Quan’s heart skipped a beat, and he swiftly turned his head to look back. Instantly, he saw a fist rapidly enlarging in his field of vision.

"How dare you!"

Wei Quan roared furiously, quickly shifting his target and swiveling his waist, sweeping his leg in a lash.

As Wei Quan directed his attention behind him, He Ziyun didn’t say a word, his toes lightly tapped the ground, quickly moving closer to Wei Quan and slamming his palm forcefully.

Trapped between attacks from both front and back, even with Wei Quan’s speed, there was no way to deal with assaults from both sides simultaneously.

After a brief hesitation, Wei Quan quickly made a decision and focused his attention on He Ziyun. After all, being a powerhouse of the same caliber, the threat from his opponent was far greater than from others.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, a powerful punch smashed harshly onto Wei Quan’s back.

Instantaneously, Wei Quan’s face turned pale as he felt his internal energy roiling, almost unable to refrain from spitting out blood.

Strike while the enemy is sick, take their life!

Seeing Wei Quan wounded, He Ziyun didn’t hesitate at all, immediately intensifying his attack, his palms striking out in rapid succession. Caught off guard, Wei Quan’s chest was hit solidly by a palm, his body flying out and heavily crashing to the ground.

"You... You’re despicable!"

Wei Quan endured the pain, shouted angrily with blood in his mouth.

"The victor is king; the vanquished is the bandit. What’s wrong with being despicable?" He Ziyun spoke, "Those words, they seem to be yours, right?"

"Mr. He, why bother talking nonsense with him? Just kill him quickly," Ling Chen urged from the side.

Originally, Ling Chen wanted to find Liu Xiyao, but the main control room’s door was tightly locked, and he alone had no way to open it. Moreover, the system had already restarted, and there was no point in him staying there. After some thought, he simply came to find He Ziyun to discuss their next move.

After dealing with Wei Quan, He Ziyun looked at Ling Chen and asked, "What’s your idea?"

Ling Chen pointed towards the passage ahead and said, "Just now, Louis sent many people to besiege you. I suspect the reason he did this was not because he values you, but because he values the security of this area."

Hearing this, He Ziyun’s mind stirred, and he said with a hint of realization, "You mean..."

"This area must be hiding the secrets of the God Organization. Given that we can’t escape for the time being, in my opinion, we might as well look around."

"That’s a good idea." He Ziyun nodded, agreeing with Ling Chen’s suggestion.

The two then followed the passage to the end, where they came across a large door sealed with a yellow warning sign.

"Wei Quan came out from here just now."

Ling Chen looked around the door and noticed a biometric device that included both fingerprint and retinal recognition on the side.

"Do you have a way to open this door?"

Upon hearing He Ziyun’s question, Ling Chen’s gaze shifted and looked at Wei Quan’s corpse, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
