This villain is too popular.

Chapter 52 Just do what you think is right, and leave the rest to me.

boom--!
Unlike the hasty shooting of the first time.

Now, after consuming 'Dream Candy Blue (Fake)', Chen Kong felt the intense pain all over his body receding like a receding tide.

A surge of power, indescribable in words, rapidly welled up within him.

It felt as if countless stellar energies were boiling and roaring within my body!

This was not Chen Kong's illusion, because his original 150 points of star energy value had surged to a full 300 points at this moment.

Although this amount of star energy is still far from the 900+ points of lava mountain.

But that's enough for Chen Kong.

Because the black gun in his hand, Night Dust, can determine the power of the bullets it fires based on the amount of star energy the user infuses.

Previously, due to various concerns, Chen Kong would always hold back when shooting, and would not pour all of his star energy into the black gun.

Therefore, he has never been able to fully unleash the gun's true potential.

But this time is different.

In order to survive, Chen Kong no longer has any scruples.

He poured all his star energy into the black gun in his hand without reservation.

And this has the following effect.

Even though Lava Mountain had noticed Dust Sky's attack and had clearly adopted its strongest defensive stance,

He covered his entire body with scorching lava.

Hopefully, this will allow them to directly withstand Chen Kong's fatal blow.

However, his prized 'magma' was instantly pierced by the terrifying impact of Chen Kong's 'Void Pattern Bullet'.

As he watched the Void Pattern bullet about to strike his brow, Lava Mountain felt time around him begin to slow down.

At the same time, a grim reaper whose face was obscured appeared silently above the Sky Pattern Bullet and slowly raised the scythe in his hand.

But just as the Grim Reaper's scythe was about to fall, an unexpected event occurred.

Mechanical Shrine: The Coffin of Sighs!

Just as Lava Mountain was about to perish, a heavy iron coffin dispelled the optical camouflage that made him invisible and immediately protected him.

boom!
The Sky Pattern Bullet struck the sealed 'Mechanical Shrine', instantly disrupting the electronic patterns on its coffin lid surface.

Unfortunately, while Dust Void's Void Pattern can assimilate star energy with attributes into star energy without attributes, it can also help to transform it into star energy without attributes.

But it cannot transform tangible matter into intangible matter.

Therefore, his Sky Pattern Bullet assimilated the 'Intelligent Star Energy' covering the 'Mechanical Shrine'.

However, it was unable to completely break through the hard material of the mechanical shrine itself.

As a result, the bullet with the Void Pattern ultimately failed to penetrate the 'Mechanical Shrine' and kill the person protected inside.

"Lava Mountain, you owe me a life."

Once the dust had settled, Iron Coffin Claude approached the mechanical shrine and reached out to open the lid.

When Lava Mountain emerged from the iron coffin, his face was cold, and he was no longer the confident and arrogant man he had been at the beginning.

He looked at Chen Kong not far away and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Kong, if this is a fair one-on-one, then I have already lost."

"Because of your last bullet, I could neither block it nor dodge it."

"But unfortunately, there aren't that many 'what ifs' in this world."

"However, to reward your courage, I can make an exception and give you a choice."

As he spoke, Rongshan punched open the shelf next to him.

Before long, several supermarket employees huddled in the fresh food section, using the surrounding fish tanks to avoid the flames, immediately came into Chen Kong's view.

Before Chen Kong could speak, molten lava once again spewed out from the palm of the lava mountain.

The scalding lava flow not only extinguished the fish tanks in front of the supermarket employees, but also erected a blazing fire in front of them, completely blocking all their escape routes.

Without the fish tank as cover, the surrounding fire immediately began to spread toward them at a visible speed.

In such circumstances, death is only a matter of time for them.

"Chen Kong, you chose to save them, and then missed this one and only chance to live."

"Or should I leave and choose to live on my own?"

"Choose, Chen Kong. I'm looking forward to your choice."

Without any hesitation, Chen Kong made his choice decisively.

He dispersed his Star Source Dreamer.

He activated his first star core, the Sky Pattern.

Without hesitation, he rushed towards the raging inferno not far away. With his actions, he showed Lava Mountain his choice.

But before he could run inside and use his Void Pattern to create a life-saving passage for the supermarket employees...

A huge coffin suddenly fell from the sky and crashed down on him.

Yu Guangzhong and Chen Kong noticed the mocking smile on Rongshan's face not far away.

This also made him instantly understand what Rongshan was thinking.

Yes, Lava Mountain only said that he would give Dust Sky a choice.

But he didn't mention that Claude, who was beside him, was the same.

Why did Lava Mountain suddenly give Dust Sky a choice?

Is it a sudden pang of conscience, or a mutual appreciation?

No, neither.

He was just worried that Chen Kong still had the ability to fight back, and that he might be caught off guard and suffer another setback.

So they used such a despicable method to expose Chen Kong's weakness.

The evidence is that after he stepped out of the 'Mechanical Shrine', Claude immediately reactivated the optical camouflage on the 'Mechanical Shrine' to make it quietly conceal itself.

From the very beginning, neither of them had any intention of letting Chen Kong leave alive.

The so-called choice is nothing but a clumsy and despicable lie.

Faced with the 'mechanical shrine' that suddenly appeared overhead, and several supermarket employees who were about to be engulfed in flames not far away, they were caught off guard.

Even knowing he had fallen into a trap, Chen Kong gritted his teeth and, completely disregarding the mechanical shrine that was about to fall on him, leaped forward with all his might, using his remaining star energy to activate the Void Rune and try his best to dispel the lava in front of him.

Although much of the lava surrounding the supermarket employees was dissipated, Chen Kong completely lost his last means of countermeasure and could only watch helplessly as the mechanical shrine above him fell.

Given his current physical condition, if he were to be hit by this mechanical shrine...

Even if he doesn't die, he will completely lose his ability to move and be completely engulfed in this fierce sea of ​​fire, desperately waiting for death to come.

However, just as Dust Sky was about to be hit by the mechanical shrine, at the critical moment...

A figure suddenly appeared next to the mechanical shrine and kicked it.

boom!
The Heavenly Dao's kick struck the side of the mechanical shrine, and the heavy shrine flew out with a deafening explosion, as if hit by a meteorite.

The terrifying impact caused the metal coffin to twist and deform in mid-air, and as it slid down, it sparked countless dazzling sparks as it rubbed against the ground.

Finally, the mechanical shrine crashed into the distant stack of shelves and was completely buried by the goods.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Chen Kong looked up in astonishment.

Amidst the swirling sparks and ashes, the figure of the Heavenly Dao slowly descended to the ground.

His silvery-white, tousled hair danced wildly in the heat waves of the surrounding fire.

A pair of azure eyes calmly gazed at Lava Mountain and Claude not far away, and the expression on his face was no longer frivolous as before, but only indescribable seriousness and indifference.

It was as if, in his eyes, Lava Mountain and Claude were no longer human beings, but two cold corpses.

"Tian... Brother Tiandao?!"

"Go, Sora, do what you think is right, and leave the rest to me."

"it is good."

Without wasting any time, Chen Kong rushed into the inferno and tried to get the few remaining supermarket employees to safety.

At the same time, feeling the suffocating pressure emanating from the Heavenly Dao, both Lava Mountain and Claude took a half step back in unison, as if facing a formidable enemy.

In response, Heaven spoke calmly.

"I heard you really like making others make choices?"

"Well then, I'll be merciful and let you make a choice."

"Do you choose to bite off your tongue and commit suicide on the spot, or..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiandao's figure vanished from the spot.

The next second, he was already standing less than half a meter in front of the lava mountain, so fast that he didn't even have time to form an afterimage.

Before the horrified eyes of the lava mountain, the Heavenly Dao's finger had already been placed on his brow.

A terrifying black energy sphere, exuding an aura of death, was slowly gathering at the fingertips of the Heavenly Dao.

"Choose to die by my hand."
