Su Chen's figure had already transformed into a golden streak of light, calmly dodging the attack.
He can even launch a swift and unparalleled counterattack during the gaps in his evasion.
Golden light, like the dawn breaking, tore through the darkness.
The black flames, on the other hand, resembled an eternal night, profound and unfathomable.
Light and darkness clashed fiercely in the hall.
Each collision produced a deafening roar.
The dissipated energy formed a visible shockwave that spread wildly in all directions.
The already dilapidated Zero One Technology Hall was now in even worse shape.
The sturdy load-bearing pillar was severed in half by the violent energy.
The thick metal walls, as if made of paper, were easily torn apart, revealing jagged gaps.
Large chunks of reinforced concrete from the ceiling peeled off and crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
A showdown of speed and skill.
A frenzied contest of will and strength.
Every time the two clashed, it was like a small bomb detonating on the spot.
The terrifying energy fluctuations sent shivers down the spines of Saeko Sonozaki, who was watching from the sidelines, as well as the NEVER members who had just crawled back from the brink of death.
Sonozaki Saeko's Taboo dopant form appeared so small and powerless in the face of such power.
She couldn't even clearly capture their movements.
She could only see two blurry lights, one gold and one black, constantly flashing and colliding. Each contact made her heart pound with fear.
The members of NEVER looked ashen-faced.
They had previously lost to Su Chen, and perhaps they still harbored some resentment, believing that Su Chen had relied on some kind of trickery.
At this moment, witnessing their leader, Da Dao Keji, engage in such a thrilling battle with Su Chen, they truly realized just how vast the gap was between them and these two.
That was a distance as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
These two people are truly "monsters" standing at the very top of the food chain.
Their very existence is a ruthless trampling of the concept of "common sense".
The battle gradually entered a heated phase.
The golden light grew ever more dazzling, as if it were transforming the entire hall into a realm of pure gold.
The black flames burned even more fiercely, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything.
The momentum of both sides is constantly rising.
It seemed that at any moment, they would unleash their ultimate techniques to determine the victor.
However, at this critical moment when tensions were running high and a conflict was imminent.
The Great Way of Self-Discipline led him to make a move that surprised everyone.
He suddenly leaped backward, deliberately widening the distance between himself and Su Chen.
The eternal dagger, gleaming with a chilling light, also fell to the ground.
The black flames swirling around him slowly subsided, but his aura of supreme dominance remained undiminished.
"That's it for now."
He spoke.
His voice was calm, showing no sign of fatigue.
On the contrary, a sense of unbridled joy shone in those deep eyes.
It felt as if I had just tasted an exquisite delicacy, and I was still savoring the experience.
"If the fighting continues, I'm afraid your beautiful building will really be reduced to a pile of ruins."
His tone carried a subtle hint of teasing, yet it was also incredibly serious.
Su Chen also stopped all his movements.
Their golden compound eyes, like two burning stars, calmly gazed at each other.
The golden light emanating from him slowly receded like the tide, but the terrifying oppressive aura originating from the "Shining Locusts" still lingered in the air.
"My war is not against you."
Da Dao Keji said frankly.
He seemed unconcerned about revealing his true intentions to this formidable opponent.
His gaze passed over Su Chen and landed in the distance, as if piercing through the broken walls and ruins of the building to see a wider world.
"My war is against this corrupt world that will easily abandon its 'soldiers'."
When he mentioned the word "soldier," a trace of sadness, difficult to conceal, flashed in his eyes.
It was a pain that was etched into one's bones, but also a resolute determination.
"All I seek is an eternal 'paradise' where my deceased companions, these 'spirits' abandoned by the world, can find their home once more."
His voice has a peculiar infectious quality.
It's as if it's telling an ancient and tragic epic.
"Fengdu is just the first step in realizing our grand plan."
He refocused his gaze on Su Chen.
Those deep eyes were filled with heartfelt admiration.
"You are strong."
"He is the strongest opponent I have ever faced."
"Your radiance is so dazzling that it surprises me."
“To engage in this meaningless exchange with you here would be a tremendous waste for me.”
"Right now, I have more important things to do."
Having said this.
Da Dao Keji ignored Su Chen's meaningful gaze.
He turned around and walked with steady steps to his three men, who were severely injured and almost unable to move.
He did not rebuke their incompetence.
He did not show the slightest disappointment.
He simply reached out and carefully helped them up one by one.
The movements were so gentle, as if they were handling a rare treasure.
"let's go."
His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable authority.
Under the watchful eyes of Su Chen, Saeko Sonosaki, and the trembling employees of Zero One Technology.
With self-discipline and unwavering resolve, the absolute commander of the "NEVER" Undying Mercenary Group, along with his three loyal subordinates, calmly and methodically walked out of the battlefield that had been reduced to ruins.
His back was straight and resolute.
There was no trace of the defeated's disarray.
It's more like a monarch who has finished inspecting his territory, making a rational, calm, and strategic retreat.
What he left behind was more than just a mess.
Furthermore, there is an undeniable, unique charm belonging to the strong.
Chapter 71 New Ambition, Recruitment Plans
Su Chen watched quietly as Da Dao Keji's tall and straight figure disappeared into the distance.
He had no intention of intervening.
Behind us, the broken walls and ruins were still shedding rubble and dust.
The air was thick with the scorching heat of battle, and a faint, icy, and resolute scent belonging to the "Eternal" memory.
His compound eyes, which used to shine with a golden light, now shone with a much softer light than before, no longer as intense as those of a burning star.
It was filled with unprecedentedly complex emotions.
There is an appreciation for the strong.
There is an identification with pure will.
There was also an indescribable sense of amusement and excitement, like a hunter discovering his prized prey.
The golden light slowly faded, receding back into the body like a tide.
The hard armor then dissipated, revealing Su Chen's handsome face.
His breathing was steady, showing no signs of fatigue after the battle.
However, his brain was working at an extraordinary speed.
Frame by frame, scene by scene, that brief yet earth-shattering battle kept replaying in my mind.
The Great Way is to restrain oneself.
The man's figure, every movement of him wielding the "Eternal Dagger," and the resolute determination with which he released the "Eternal Requiem" were all crystal clear.
This man's strength is beyond doubt.
That T2-level "Eternal Memory" did indeed grant him unimaginable destructive power and bizarre immortality.
But Su Chen understood even better.
What truly enabled Dao Keji to reach this point and unleash such astonishing combat power was not merely the power of the memory body.
