Chapter 773: Hell's Guillotine

Ji Yushen had no choice but to close his eyes to avoid being affected by the illusion technique.

However, unlike Gao Changkong, he didn't possess such sharp senses, so both his combat ability and sense of direction were severely impaired.

Zhang Yi, Sun Luxuan, and the third attacker assaulted him simultaneously from three directions.

The battle wasn't easy - the fighting razed several miles of land around the Operations Command Center.

Ji Yushen ultimately died from overdosing on Compound-5, which exhausted his life force until he burned out completely.

This was the terrifying nature of captain-level fighters - devastating offensive power coupled with extreme resilience.

No wonder so many people had doubted Deng Shentong's fake death back then.

Zhang Yi gazed at Ji Yushen's corpse and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"What a pity that Gao Changkong managed to escape!" Zhang Yi lamented.

"They won't get far!" Deng Shentong gritted his teeth. "Even if they fled Blizzard City, they'll be designated as S-class fugitives hunted across all of Huaxu Nation!"

"They're as good as dead!"

Zhang Yi countered, "But given Gao Changkong's abilities, killing him will be extremely difficult."

Gao Changkong's powers were abnormally potent. While his predictive abilities fell short of true future sight, he could repeatedly employ this power during combat, allowing faster growth than ordinary people.

When targeting specific individuals, he could tailor his training precisely.

Combined with the six powerful seals of the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel, his strength remained formidable even among captain-level fighters.

Zhang Yi analyzed, "Deng Shentong's ability index is only 9300, so Gao Changkong must be at least 9600. He's probably the closest to Epsilon-level among all superhumans currently."

He added after a pause, "Except for me, of course."

As the trio conversed, Zhu Zheng's voice came from nearby.

"Don't worry, he won't escape!"

Zhang Yi turned to look.

Though Zhu Zheng appeared weary, thanks to everyone's protection he remained largely unharmed - only sporting a bandaged arm from a minor scrape during retreat.

Zhang Yi couldn't help asking, "Do you still have an ace up your sleeve?"

Zhu Zheng smiled faintly. "Naturally."

He raised his head, gazing skyward.

"He's already dead."

Zhang Yi wondered about Zhu Zheng's confidence.

Had he not arrived in time, Zhu Zheng would have been killed by Gao Changkong already.

Yet now he appeared so self-assured.

Just then, a metallic clanking sound of dragging chains reached Zhang Yi's ears.

He, Deng Shentong and the others instinctively turned toward the noise.

Suddenly, a hazy mist materialized in the air as the chain sounds grew increasingly distinct.

From within the fog emerged two chains - one pitch black, one pure white - transforming from solid to ethereal as they rapidly extended forward.

An aura of death permeated around the chains.

Sinister, terrifying, evoking primal fear from the depths of one's soul!

Zhang Yi's danger senses screamed.

He instantly teleported hundreds of meters away from the ominous chains.

Deng Shentong and Sun Luxuan reacted similarly.

Moments later, they saw the chains targeting a bewildered Yan Yun Major.

Before realizing what happened, the Major found himself tightly bound by the chains.

"What the hell is this? Let me go!" he screamed, struggling desperately.

Yet despite exerting all his strength and abilities, the chains remained completely unaffected.

Zhu Zheng's confident expression collapsed into shock.

"How could this happen?!"

The chains constricted tighter around the Major.

Then Zhang Yi witnessed a sight that made his hair stand on end.

From within the mist slowly emerged two towering figures.

Both stood over twenty feet tall - one clad in black robes, the other in white, wearing tall pointed hats.

The black hat bore the words "Coming for You", the white one read "You're Next".

"Black and White Impermanence!" Zhang Yi murmured.

Nearly everyone in Huaxu Nation recognized these iconic underworld deities.

The ghostly pair floated toward the chained Major, their feet nonexistent.

Everyone in the ruins froze in terror.

Even Zhang Yi's group instinctively held their breath.

From these deities emanated terrifying rule-based power far surpassing captain-level!

The panicked Major's fellow guards tried freeing him - shooting, using abilities - but the chains wouldn't budge.

Within moments, the ghostly enforcers reached their target, gripping the soul-binding chains.

Ignoring everyone else, they dragged the Major forward.

Before them materialized an enormous platform.

Like a colossal gate reaching into the heavens, its towering height disappeared into the clouds.

The ghosts bound the Major to the platform.

Only then did the "gate's" true form become visible.

When everyone saw it clearly, chills ran down their spines.

This wasn't any heavenly gate - but a massive guillotine!

From thousands of feet above, an enormous black blade hung tilted in the clouds - capable of bisecting anything with a single drop!

The Major screamed hysterically but remained locked in place.

"BOOM!!"

The guillotine descended from the heavens, cleanly splitting him from crown to sole!

His body separated perfectly - from the front he appeared untouched.

Then all supernatural phenomena vanished.

The enforcers and guillotine dissipated like smoke.

The Major's bisected corpse collapsed forward and backward.

This horrifying death left everyone gasping.

Nobody had seen anyone attack the Major.

It was as if he'd been... cursed!

Zhu Zheng trembled - not from fear, but rage.

"Gao Changkong! You've outmaneuvered me again!!"

Zhang Yi had an epiphany, sensing something peculiar.

"Commander Zhu, what's happening? Who's attacking our people?"

After prolonged silence, Zhu Zheng finally answered:

"I requested assistance from that person in Shengjing Sector to eliminate the traitor Gao Changkong! This is his ability [Hell's Guillotine]. Anyone he marks is guaranteed to die - an absolute rule!"

Gritting his teeth, he added, "Damn Gao Changkong must have foreseen this! He escaped again!"
