Chapter 1145: Chapter 537: Barehanded Heart Removal, Racing Car Lin!

If given the choice, Deng Mingyu definitely wouldn’t want to leave the Security Bureau.

As the saying goes, it’s good to bask in the shade of a big tree. Aside from the enticing high welfare, the main point was that during the purification of the Divine Ruins, most freelance individuals and teams wouldn’t dare to provoke members of such a large organization.

But if Deng Mingyu was really pushed into a corner, he would recklessly defect.

Since his parents had died early and he had neither married nor had children, he was without ties.

To put it bluntly, he had no weaknesses!

As a Half-Step Dragon Level, Deng Mingyu could enjoy a luxurious life in any country, and his name might be tarnished, but was reputation truly more vital than living comfortably?

After all, one’s own life is more important than anyone else’s.

The onlookers were shocked by Lin Baici; what was going on with this kid?

Was he Director Xia’s favored errand boy?

Otherwise, how could he dare to treat Hong Chengming with such an attitude?

Bear in mind that apart from Hong Chengming’s high-ranking ministerial post, he was also above Dragon Level, capable of killing the kid with a single slap.

"God Lin, may I thank you on his behalf? I can say thanks a hundred times."

The secretary offered an awkward smile, quickly glancing at Xia Hongmian, and noticed that the powerhouse had her arms crossed and was watching eagerly.

Peacekeeping?

Not a chance!

This left the secretary completely paralyzed, unsure of how to smooth things over.

To put it plainly, Hong Chengming’s face,

Wasn’t sufficient!

Lin Baici turned his head, looking at the secretary: "You talk too much!"

The secretary’s already stiff smile vanished entirely, fury consuming him. Since he became Hong Chengming’s secretary, seven years had passed without anybody daring to speak to him in such a manner.

A bit of achievement and he loses all sense of the world; he’ll come to a bad end sooner or later.

The secretary slandered in his heart, casting a glance at Hong Chengming. His own feelings didn’t matter; what mattered was what the big boss wanted to do.

"Heh!"

Hong Chengming laughed but said no more. Xia Hongmian’s disregard and Lin Baici’s arrogance had also ignited his temper.

If it was a showdown they wanted, then they would have a major showdown!

Hong Chengming’s gaze covertly swept over Deng Mingyu.

As a loyal follower of Hong Chengming, Deng Mingyu understood immediately and began to smile.

"No thanks, but life is on the line; if you can, come and take it!"

Deng Mingyu mocked.

Having personally experienced the Luoyang Seven Towns with such intense rule pollution, he was certain it signified the existence of a terrifying God, so he simply couldn’t believe Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao could have killed a God.

Did they not understand they lacked strength?

Even one or two Dragon Levels would be like sending vegetables to him; how could Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, two youngsters who hadn’t fully matured, manage?

"There must be some secret I’m unaware of."

Deng Mingyu speculated as much, openly apologizing would be too shameful. If they fought and he won, he would become famous by stepping on Lin Baici, strong among the strong.

If he lost, he’d simply walk away, leave the Jiuzhou Security Bureau behind, and stop caring about morals and the law, living life however he wanted.

Ever since Deng Mingyu acquired strength, he had been eager to taste this lawless, carefree life.

"Even as terrible as I am, I won’t be killed by him, right?"

Deng Mingyu still prepared for the worst.

More and more people gathered in the corridor, drawn by the commotion, eager to watch the drama unfold.

"This kid is too reckless, huh?"

Tang Ying stood among the crowd, quite speechless: "Not even giving Hong Chengming face!"

"Deng Mingyu is as good as dead!"

Zhang Haokan was also displeased.

"Come on, that’s a Half-Step Dragon Level!"

Tang Ying felt her bestie had definitely fallen under Lin Baici’s spell, trusting him too much: "Even if Lin Baici killed a God, it has only been a few days. Can he recover to his prime so quickly?"

The rank division of God Hunters mainly depends on the number of Divine Blessings they hold and their combat record.

Once a person extracts a Divine Blessing, they are at Hungry Wolf Level; then, acquiring five Divine Blessings and leading the purification of three Divine Ruins, they advance to Leopard Head.

After accumulating ten Divine Blessings and leading the conquest of five more Divine Ruins, one could ascend to Violent Bear Level.

Above that is Lion King. The advancement criteria are having fifteen Divine Blessings and leading the conquest of ten Divine Ruins or exploring a Great Divine Ruin in existence for over a decade and bringing back valuable information.

If one breaks through five Divine Ruins alone, they can also be promoted to Lion King.

Beyond that level is Dragon Level, the minimum requirement being thirty Divine Blessings, of which Great Divine Blessings must not be fewer than ten.

Deng Mingyu had thirty Divine Blessings, but because he didn’t purify a sufficient number of Divine Ruins and wasn’t involved in enough explorations of the Decade Great Divine Ruin, he was referred to as a Half-Step Dragon Level.

Within the Security Bureau, there were many like Deng Mingyu at Half-Step Dragon Level; they had the requisite number of Divine Blessings but not enough Great Divine Ruin numbers.

Because a person only has one life, unlike in video games where you can steal a Resurrection Coin and try again.

At Deng Mingyu’s level, where he was not lacking in money or status, life was blissful. To risk his life again, one would either have to be like Xia Hongyao, who had a strong personal interest and enjoyed adventure, or someone with a sense of responsibility, believing they should protect the people, the country, and even this blue world.

"With more Divine Blessings, you have more cards to play. I don’t believe Lin Baici, a newcomer, could have more Divine Blessings than Deng Mingyu!"

Tang Ying was not optimistic about Lin Baici: "He’s not Xia Hongyao, who has the number one sister in Jiuzhou feeding her Divine Blessings!"

Deng Mingyu thought so too, and he also believed he had over a decade more battle and slaughter experience than Lin Baici.

[It’s driven by a killing intent!]

"Since you put it that way, I won’t hold back!"

Lin Baici looked at Deng Mingyu, smiling faintly, very sunnily.
