Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1343 - 1344: Death Anniversary

At first, the situation appeared to everyone as nothing more than a stalemate. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

With the Bishop present, there was no way Lu Xiaobu could be taken away!

Everyone seated understood this principle, and Zhang Meng evidently understood it even more!

So, he decided to make his move directly!

This was his last opportunity. If Lu Xiaobu left, surrounded by everyone, he would no longer have any chances!

And if he let Lu Xiaobu go, he would plunge into a state of complete madness!

He must be killed!

At all costs!

"Whoosh!"

Sparks flew.

Zhang Meng accelerated from under his feet, rushing forward to everyone’s disbelief.

His target was not Lu Xiaobu but the woman beside him!

Lu Xiaobu would never allow his woman to be killed!

Su Luoxue watched Zhang Meng, who was emanating black mist and filled with murderous intent, storming towards her like an evil spirit, freezing her in place.

She clearly understood she had to run, she couldn’t stay here; otherwise, if caught, she’d implicate the boss!

However, her body didn’t obey her commands at all!

Trauma-induced stress syndrome!

"Die!"

Zhang Meng charged at Su Luoxue like a demon.

Lu Xiaobu’s eyes flared with killing intent: "You’re asking for death!"

Lu Xiaobu was furious!

Zhang Meng had previously taught him a move, Flame Jet Acceleration!

He was closer to Su Luoxue, fully able to make it in time!

"Whoosh!"

Even stronger and larger flames than Zhang Meng’s appeared under Lu Xiaobu’s feet, propelling him towards Su Luoxue!

"Hahaha!"

In midair, Zhang Meng laughed madly, flames jetting continuously, causing his body to make an incredible turn in the air, heading straight for the charging Lu Xiaobu!

Both moved at an astonishing speed, colliding in midair.

"You’re dead meat!" Zhang Meng hugged him from behind, or more accurately, locked Lu Xiaobu in a deadly grip, saying with a sinister grin.

At that moment, Zhang Meng’s body was already enveloped in black mist.

So, the moment he embraced Lu Xiaobu, that thick black mist instantly shrouded Lu Xiaobu!

"Thud!"

The two fell heavily to the ground.

But at that moment, their forms were indistinguishable, fully enshrouded by the black mist.

On the ground now was just a ball of black mist.

They were so fast that others only now reacted.

"Boss!" Su Luoxue exclaimed, looking at the black mass in front of her, rushing forward.

She had witnessed the power of this black mass!

Now that the boss was enveloped, something bad was bound to happen!

"Young Master!" Zhang Meng’s muscles bulged instantly, his eyes now filled with murderous intent!

He was ready to kill!

"This..." the FBI fat man was stunned, watching incredulously.

The Eagle King dared to strike inside the church, in front of him and the Bishop?!

With that, the truth was undeniable: it was truly the Eagle King who acted!

"You see?! He is the devil incarnate! This is blasphemy against the Father! I’ll tell you this, you’re all implicated!" the Bishop shouted harshly.

But his primary concern was matters of devils and the Father, not Lu Xiaobu’s life.

At this point, he continued, "Quick, call for the Holy Knight! Have them deal with the darkness!"

Then he noticed Zhang Meng and Su Luoxue about to rush forward, quickly yelling, "Don’t touch that black mist, or you’ll lose your lives! Wait for our Holy Knight to dispel it!"

"Hold on!" Zhang Meng regained some rationality, pulling Su Luoxue back: "You can’t go, or it’ll spell disaster!"

"Understood!"

Though Su Luoxue was very worried, she also calmed down.

Indeed, she couldn’t help at all, and might become a burden; she should move further away now!

"Impressive!"

The Bishop muttered to himself.

His earlier reminder was just out of obligation; he wasn’t truly worried about their lives.

However, he didn’t expect them to regain calm so quickly under such circumstances!

Lu Xiaobu’s subordinates were extraordinary indeed!

...

And at this moment, within the black mist.

"Lu Xiaobu, now, no one can save you!" Zhang Meng said with a sneer, locking Lu Xiaobu firmly: "I want to watch you being devoured inch by inch."

"Is there really a need?" Lu Xiaobu sighed, "Even if you kill me, can you live on?"

"Why not? You think someone will take my life for a dead man?!" Zhang Meng sneered coldly:

"The dead can’t speak. When the time comes, whatever I say you did, you did! It’s just all talk!"

"America would never kill such a powerful force like me, whatever happens!"

"What if you can’t kill me?" Lu Xiaobu shook his head slightly.

"Can’t kill you? Are you kidding me?!" Zhang Meng sneered again, "Earlier I underestimated, but now, you’re right here, trapped by my black mist!"

"Here, all your superpowers are useless, completely blocked by my black mist; you can’t even scream out!"

"Your fate is just one: to be utterly devoured by me! Let me enjoy your screams!"

"You’re quite confident!" Lu Xiaobu laughed.

And then Zhang Meng noticed something was amiss.

His pupils dilated instantly: "Impossible! Why aren’t you being devoured?! What is this membrane?!"

He finally realized his black mist wasn’t touching Lu Xiaobu’s body, but was blocked by a membrane!

Moreover, it’s not just the black mist that’s blocked, but his physical attack as well!

How is this possible?!

Does Lu Xiaobu have a third system superpower?!

No, that’s impossible! Even if it’s a third system, it can’t hold up like this!

Because there’s no external energy source here!

"Eastern Cultivation System?!" Zhang Meng suddenly thought of a possibility.

That is, besides Western superpowers, Lu Xiaobu also knew Eastern ones!

That would explain it.

After all, Eastern energy works from the inside out!

But that’s impossible; he remembered that Eastern and Western can’t be cultivated simultaneously, as it would cause energy destruction within!

Forget it, no need to overthink!

"So what?! Eventually, your energy will be depleted, and then it’ll be your end!" Zhang Meng said coldly.

"Is that so?" Lu Xiaobu smiled, but it was an icy smile: "I’m not sure when my end will come, but I do know, this day next year will be your memorial!"
