CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 371: SHH, DON’T SPEAK BEFORE DYING!

"So fast!"

Tanaka Junichiro’s heart trembled. He had already prepared thoroughly when sending that world message and was ready to teleport to another channel at any moment, disappearing without a trace.

Unexpectedly, Li Zheng was even faster than him. Just as the teleportation gate opened but before it stabilized, Li Zheng arrived.

A blood-colored streak streaked across the ground, and Tanaka Junichiro knew he couldn’t touch that thing. He pulled out the highest tier shield capsule he had and deployed it where the streak would hit.

Crack!

A subtle cracking sound echoed, and the teleportation gate stabilized. Tanaka Junichiro had no time to think and leaped with all his might!

"Huh? Why am I still here?"

The thought hadn’t even finished crossing his mind when Tanaka Junichiro felt an unbearable pain in his knees and let out a wretched scream.

The next moment, Tanaka Junichiro’s whole body, with his knees as the dividing line, toppled forward.

Tanaka Junichiro was horrified. He had used an Extraordinary Level shield to block, yet was sliced apart by the streak in an instant?

How was this possible?

Could it be that Li Zheng had mastered an even higher tier of tools?

Amid screams, Li Zheng walked over step by step and crouched in front of Tanaka Junichiro.

"Look, I really don’t want to kill. Otherwise, I would have slaughtered all the players in your country long ago!" Li Zheng said coldly, "Why do you insist on provoking me when you know better?"

"Heh, the Matrix is meant for the survival of the fittest. You backed down at the time also because you didn’t have enough teleportation tools, right? Pretending to be a saint here?" Tanaka Junichiro taunted through clenched teeth, despite the pain, "Besides, you Chinese love playing this fake piety on the international stage, acting like you’re the kindest in the world!"

Li Zheng’s expression turned cold, and he flipped Tanaka Junichiro over, punching him in the spine. The spine couldn’t withstand the full force of his blow and snapped immediately.

"I didn’t come here to debate with you. Since your country’s people like to use the term Chinese to break the backbone of my Dragon Country for a spiritual victory, I’ll break your spine before you die to show you what that feels like!"

"Plus, whether something is hypocritical or not isn’t for you to define. Don’t assume everyone in the world is as selfish as you!"

"Shush, don’t speak before you die."

Li Zheng reached out and crushed Tanaka Junichiro’s jaw. "I initially wanted to force your biggest leader behind High Celestial Plain’s scenes out of you before you die, but I think with your backbone, you wouldn’t say. So... I won’t waste my time."

"Poli, kill him for me!"

Li Zheng stood up. Little Sakura was still asleep, but Poli was awake.

"Poli." Poli gave him a sidelong glance, initially not wanting to bother, but over the days, it understood one thing.

Little Sakura executed all of Li Zheng’s orders, and since it listened to Little Sakura, in a rounded way, it had to listen to Li Zheng too.

Once it figured this out, it extended part of its body, morphing into a spike, piercing Tanaka Junichiro from top to bottom.

In Poli’s eyes, the earthly humans were like ants in the humans’ view, with no guilt in killing them.

It’s just that its racial nature made it not like attacking other creatures proactively.

Li Zheng coldly picked up the Identity Card emerging from the corpse and directly fused it, converting the space within to his living area.

Unexpectedly, Tanaka Junichiro, as a white-name player, expanded Li Zheng’s living area by ten meters after fusing the Identity Card!

At dawn, those hundred plus Identity Cards expanded his living area to over two hundred and thirty meters. Adding ten meters in length, width, and height was about to break the two hundred-fifty-meter mark!

"Seems like some identity cards of red-name players killed in High Celestial Plain were all taken by Tanaka Junichiro." Li Zheng mumbled, checking the items acquired through fusion.

No surprise here, all low-tier items, with the best being some Silver Level ones.

Tanaka Junichiro was very cautious, so cautious that he didn’t learn any useful blueprints.

From the feedback of Prelis’ Eye feedback, the highest blueprint he learned was a Gold Level Tachi blueprint, almost worthless to Li Zheng.

"What a pity. I thought I could cut off your High Celestial Plain’s Concentrated Enhancement Liquid production this time. Turns out you let someone else learn it." Li Zheng played with an item in his hand.

It was one of the three undamaged items Little Sakura had taken at dawn, capable of stripping a blueprint from someone.

"Five people, with one dead now, and Diana likely not to survive long." Li Zheng counted, five Main Envoys, with two more left to kill.

At dawn, after several of the envoys learned of their plan’s failure, they used space-jumping type items to transfer and left the previous channel, hiding.

With the opponent’s exact channel number lost, even Star Thief couldn’t teleport there, rendering revenge impossible.

Unless those other than Rebecca stay low-key in the world channel, showing no trace, Li Zheng couldn’t do a thing with them.

Yet Tanaka Junichiro, evidently overconfident, dared to expose his whereabouts and was instantly identified and slaughtered by Li Zheng.

"Still left with Joshua and Jes." Li Zheng put away the item in his hand.

The few people who directed the attack on him were all named to Li Zheng by Rebecca before being taken away by Joanna.

So apart from Rebecca, the other four were all on Li Zheng’s revenge list, just awaiting them to reveal their whereabouts.

Otherwise, waiting for news from Kunlun and Nine Heavens, those two legions had greater power, potentially able to find out where these people were hiding.

Just then, Li Zheng received a private message from Liu Qi.

"Li Zheng, I’ve found my sister-in-law. Joanna’s already fighting with them. That side is in space blockade status now, but in forty-seven seconds, the space blockade will lift for five seconds. You have to teleport over within those five seconds!"

Found Diana so fast?

Li Zheng was somewhat surprised. It seemed Joanna had placed her people among the other Knight Commanders, otherwise, she couldn’t have found the adversary so quickly.

Joanna had been plotting for a long time to overthrow her elder sister...

The private message from Liu Qi included the location of the room where Diana was. Li Zheng took out the star thief and filled in all the information into it, then kept a close watch on the time.

Forty-seven seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Zheng pressed confirm teleportation, taking Little Sakura with him, vanishing without a trace.

...

"Joanna, my dear little sister, you didn’t really think I had no defenses against your arrival, did you?"

Diana bore a striking resemblance to Joanna, except with different hair color.

Joanna was blonde, while Diana had chestnut hair.

At this moment, in the room where she stood, besides her, there were eighty-seven other Knight Commanders of the Round Table Knight Order.

Rather than an exposed trace by an undercover agent, it was more of an invitation to capture the rebels Joanna brought in a comprehensive sweep.

"The people from the White Bear Legion are indeed troublesome, but if you think you can defeat me with just these numbers, you’re quite naive," Diana said coldly. "Moreover, I have support from another legion. You have no chance of victory!"

Eighty-eight against sixty-one, no matter how you looked at it, the odds were in the Knight Order’s favor.

Not to mention additional reinforcements for the Knight Order were imminent.

Joanna quickly analyzed a counter-strategy and sent a private message to Pierre, "Turn on that machine immediately. Shut it down in one minute for five seconds and wait for Li Zheng’s support!"
