Mo Chen followed the petals for a full 10 minutes, flying out of Dragon City and into a remote rural area of Tiger City. The petals flew into a farmhouse in the northwest corner of the village and landed on the window of a room.
Goodness, not only did they find the person, they even determined which room she was in.
To be honest, the combination of this "Anchor of All Things" and the petals is really useful. The petals themselves are very light, and under the guidance of the Law of Anchoring All Things, they did not descend much in altitude during their flight and managed to fly more than 200 kilometers on their own. It was simply amazing.
Mo Chen jumped straight into the courtyard. He was too lazy to use any feints or tricks and planned to just charge in. Who made him invincible?
As soon as he landed in the yard, an older woman ran out of the kitchen next door.
"Young man, how did you get in?"
The older woman grabbed Mo Chen and looked at him with suspicion. She hadn't heard the door open, so how did he get in?
Mo Chen sized her up; she was slightly overweight, with wavy hair, a typical middle-aged Chinese woman. However, the way she looked at Mo Chen didn't seem like that of a simple middle-aged woman; it revealed a ruthless edge.
Clearly, this woman was no ordinary person.
"You should know that assisting foreign personnel is also an act of treason. I would have no qualms about killing you on the spot."
In his previous life, Mo Chen hated those "foreign dogs" the most. They praised foreign countries and belittled China all day long. In their eyes, their own country was hell, while foreign countries seemed to be heaven, where even the air was sweet. Some people even joined the army of a foreign country in order to get a green card. They were simply inhuman.
This middle-aged woman was probably a "foreign dog"; otherwise, she wouldn't have done something like treason.
"You... what did you say? I don't understand. If you don't leave, I'm going to call for help!"
The woman was clearly flustered when she heard about treason, and she stammered as she spoke. This further confirmed Mo Chen's guess that the old woman had definitely betrayed the country.
"Remember! Be a human in your next life!"
With a wave of his hand, Mo Chen turned the old woman into a pile of withered leaves, which slowly fell into the yard without her uttering a single last word.
Once these leaves left Mo Chen's domain, they would never have the chance to become human again and would die completely.
"Bang bang bang!~~~"
Seven men rushed out of the three houses on the north side, each holding a pistol.
"If you are willing to let us go, we will immediately offer you 100 million US dollars."
One of the young men shouted at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen could tell that the seven men were visibly nervous, and several of them were even trembling as they held their guns. They must have witnessed the entire process of Mo Chen killing someone and were terrified by his "Flick of a Finger and Withered Leaf" technique.
Although they knew that China had mastered the core of awakening, they had never seen real superpowers before. The only superpower they had ever seen was from Zhuang Lingmeng, whom they had just captured. Four of them had already died because of this; they were all burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace.
Now, something even more outrageous had come along: something that could turn people into leaves.
Even though they had received professional training, they were still incredibly nervous. So, clinging to a sliver of hope, they tried to communicate with Mo Chen, hoping he would let them off the hook.
"What if I don't?"
Mo Chen didn't rush to make a move but looked at the seven people with amusement.
At that moment, he really wanted to take out a cigarette, calmly light it, and then look at the enemy with composure, as if he were taking the head of the enemy general amidst a vast army, looking incredibly cool.
Unfortunately... Mo Chen didn't bring any cigarettes.
As Lu Xun said: Everyone gets arrogant, especially those with great abilities.
To put it simply: Everyone wants to show off, especially those who have the ability to do so.
At this moment, Mo Chen truly embodied Lu Xun's famous saying.
"Then let's take a gamble. Although many people in China have awakened, I know that you are still at the demigod level and have not reached the true god level. You cannot ignore firearms yet."
This leader had clearly studied the information about awakening carefully and could even judge that there were very few True God Realm experts in China.
However, they didn't know... that Mo Chen was the only True God Realm expert.
"Then just shoot! I've never experienced what it feels like to be shot before. Hurry up!"
Mo Chen stood there arrogantly, urging the other party on.
"Whoosh~"
Just when Mo Chen thought he had forced the other party to fire a gun, a thin needle shot toward him, which came from the room where Zhuang Lingmeng was being held.
"Pfft~"
A thin needle pierced Mo Chen's neck cleanly.
Mo Chen: "???"
Mo Chen pulled out the thin needle, which turned out to be an anesthetic needle, but it was thinner and smaller than the kind used to shoot animals.
How did it get inside him?
This was what puzzled Mo Chen. Could someone have refined this anesthetic needle?
Indeed, one should not underestimate the people of the world!
Mo Chen had not revealed his method for refining external objects, but these people had still discovered it. Although the method was very simple, without someone reminding you, it was not certain that anyone would realize it in the short term.
"Haha! You've been drugged by our anesthetic. You'll definitely pass out within 15 seconds. Tsk tsk, if you had taken our 100 million earlier, none of this would have happened."
Seeing that Mo Chen had been injected with the anesthetic, Qi Tian immediately calmed down and became arrogant.
"That's right, that's right. I'll tear you to pieces in a minute. I was so scared I almost peed my pants."
"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you all quiet now?"
Mo Chen was indeed a little dizzy at the moment, but this did not stop him. He controlled the dark energy particles in his body to counteract the nerve anesthetic, and in just a few seconds, the dizziness disappeared. A refined body is just that overpowered.
"Fifteen seconds have passed, but I'm still standing here. Do you know what that means?"
This time, it was Mo Chen's turn to be arrogant again.
The laughter from the other side stopped instantly, and the courtyard fell silent, save for the occasional cawing of a crow, who knows whom it was mocking.
"Forget it, this game is no fun anymore. I'll just kill you all. I'm too lazy to ask you any questions."
Mo Chen transformed into a shower of flying petals and rushed toward the seven people. He was not a special agent and had no obligation to gather intelligence. Whether to kill them or not was entirely up to his mood. He was in a bad mood because he could tell that most of these people were Chinese. Why keep them alive for the New Year?
"What? How is that possible?"
"My God, what kind of superpower is this?"
"Spare me! I was wrong! Don't kill me! I'll tell you everything! Ah~~"
With screams of agony, the falling petals became sharp blades, reaping lives.
Mo Chen originally wanted to torture them for a while, but their screams were too disgusting, so he gave them a quick death.
