Chapter 318: 163 The strong, are those who make others fear you!_3

You could see some combat personnel wearing black uniforms, protective goggles, and carrying firearms, patrolling back and forth. There were also quite a few researchers in white lab coats coming in and out, carrying various research instruments.

"My lord, I’ll go notify Chief Luo."

"He will take you to the rest lounge, please wait for a moment."

The man with the appearance of a secretary spoke apologetically to Gu Ping. Then he headed towards a corridor on the left, while a black-haired man who was clearly one of the base’s combat personnel led Bai Xiao and Gu Ping towards the road on the right.

A few seconds later, the left corridor.

The secretary, who had been walking at a steady pace, suddenly quickened his footsteps, and even started to run. He remembered the hint Gu Ping had given during their conversation in the metal elevator, and the deliberate way he had turned his back to Bai Xiao, with an expression of involuntariness. In an instant, he understood what had happened.

This executor from the Evolution Land combat department had been taken hostage and was signaling for help. He needed to alert the chief quickly!

With a beep, the phone was connected.

This was a specially secured confidential communication channel.

The secretary reported anxiously.

"Chief, enemies have entered the underground base!"

"They have also taken an executor from the combat department hostage!"

...

Meanwhile, in the right corridor, three dull footsteps on the metal floor grew fainter as they moved away. As they neared the rest lounge, there were fewer and fewer people in the corridor.

Until there was only Gu Ping and two others left.

Walking along, suddenly, Bai Xiao at the rear stopped in his tracks.

Gu Ping, sensing something, immediately turned around, his eyes filled with confusion. The black-haired man, seeing the two stop, also asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What’s wrong?"

Bai Xiao ignored the black-haired man.

It was just those dark, icy pupils looking at Gu Ping.

"You just sent a signal for help, didn’t you?"

Gu Ping’s face went pale as the unease in his heart exploded in that moment.

"Your task is now complete."

"Now, you are useless."

Bai Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, exuding an inexplicably fierce and wicked aura.

"I..."

Gu Ping, speechless with shock, opened his mouth.

A bloodied tongue shot out of his mouth.

Somehow, in the blink of an eye, Bai Xiao was enveloped in an elegant and lean suit of Black Sword Armor. Like a spear, his arm shot up fiercely, and the blade sprang out.

It was shoved directly into Gu Ping’s mouth and burst out from the back of his skull with a squelch.

A spray of fresh blood shot out from the wound at high speed.

Swipe, the blade was withdrawn.

Gu Ping instinctively covered his bleeding mouth with his hands, his eyes filled with shock and terror rapidly fading from life. He fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, a headless corpse fell beside him.

The moment he drew his sword, Bai Xiao’s armored body performed an elegant spin, swinging through a dangerous arc that sliced through the black-haired man’s neck with a trace of light. From the leaking throat, streams of bright red blood oozed out.

Standing among the two bodies, he slowly raised his head, smiling.

Gu Ping bringing him to this underground base was enough.

This, was the beginning of destruction!

Bai Xiao planned to gather enough fear within this underground base to enter the Fear Nightmare. He wanted to accomplish two objectives through the Fear Nightmare: the first was to break through the Martial Artist Realm, and the second was to activate the Demon Bird Secret Scripture!

Hiss!

The black blade sliced through the air, shaking off blood, pristine as ever.

Whoosh!

In the surveillance footage, a figure in black armor sped through the corridor. Its speed increased until it streaked away like a meteor.

"The most fundamental emotion of humans is fear!"

"So in my view, the essence of Martial Arts is to cultivate fear!"

"To instill timidity in others, depriving them of the courage to even oppose you!"

"The powerful are those who make others fear them!"
