Chapter 1243: Chapter 1238 Level 7 Gong Xiao

As the words left his mouth, Yan Jie lunged at Xu Changchi with the bizarre blade he wielded!

But the other was already ready and dodged by tilting his head as the blade’s point advanced.

"Dodging, you old..." Yan Jie’s eyes went cold, just as he was about to call Jiang Chentong and two other Level 6 New Humans for help, he felt a tearing pain spread from his thigh. He looked down to see a dagger, unknown when it had embedded itself into his thigh. This wasn’t an ordinary dagger; it was made from H steel. However, the steel used in the middle of the blade was abundant, about one and a half centimeters thick, resembling a Mitsubishi spike. The pain it induced can only be imagined.

Yan Jie recognized this dagger—it was Zhou Ranjun’s weapon!

"Zhou, you..." Yan Jie looked at Zhou Ranjun incredulously, even Xu Changchi went into a state of shock.

What was this now?

Having already prepared himself for confrontation from the moment he stepped free from Lin Jie’s grip, Xu Changchi aimed to take down the Level 6 Powerhouse from the Peace Party at the earliest. His choice to sit next to Zhou Ranjun upon arrival was intentional. Among the current Level 6 New Human Stronghouses, Ren Mingren, and Guan Xiuyang were unfamiliar to him, but both Yan Jie and Jiang Chentong were renowned for their strength in the United District for a long time. Zhou Ranjun, although a Level 6 New Human as well, rarely acted and had mostly mediocre battle achievements, earning some minor favors by showing occasional goodwill towards the Marshal.

It could be said that if not for the Marshal, this man might have died in that survivor’s gathering zone by now. Even if alive, without the Peace Party’s resources, he might have remained a mere average Level 3 or 4 New Human. Objectively, Zhou Ranjun was the weakest link.

Choosing the easiest target, Xu Changchi had initially set his sights on him, but the turn of events had thrown him into disarray!

However, Xu Changchi reacted quickly, realizing that not only him, even Zhou Ranjun had turned!

But why? Although Xu Changchi knew that the top three leaders of the Peace Party were high-level undead disguised as humans, he was merely slightly disgusted by this fact since, having been with the Peace Party for many years, their ideology had changed him—it was just initial awkwardness, and he had gotten used to it.

So what if the three leaders were undead? The Central District they aimed to establish was meant to coexist peacefully with the undead, not to subjugate humans to a lower status or elevate the undead to some unassailable nobility. This harmony had indeed won them several benefits, like large-scale agricultural plantations—plain for all to see.

Moreover, there was no restriction on hunting the undead; the only requirement was a designated zone for some armored undead to inhabit.

Altogether, compared to the near-feudal tyranny of other superpowers, their regime was far better. So, Xu Changchi did not object to the Central District being ruled by undead. The Marshal might be undead, but this undead resembled a human in many ways.

Xu Changchi had seen all this with his own eyes.

If not for the fact that his glaring weakness was firmly in others’ grasp, he might have doubted those claims altogether.

Regretfully, he had already made his choice.

There was no time for further thought, as Jiang Chentong and the other two Level 6 New Humans were already charging at them.

"Run!"

Xu Changchi and Zhou Ranjun, realizing the danger simultaneously, sprinted into the distance. Peace Party soldiers quickly surrounded them, sending a barrage of lasers flying their way, which they barely managed to dodge. But now, the Level 6 New Humans, including Jiang Chentong, were not to be underestimated. Jiang Chentong, in particular, burst into action, dashing through the ruins around him like Spiderman in the movies!

"You two traitors, stop right there!"

Unlike Xu Changchi and Zhou Ranjun, Jiang Chentong, with his transforming abilities, moved with incredible speed, navigating the complex terrain effortlessly. In no time, he leapt from a height and blocked their path.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Xu Changchi glanced back, seeing that only Jiang Chentong was on their tail while Ren Mingren and Guan Xiuyang fell behind due to their slower speed.

"He’s alone!"

"Attack!"

Both men steeled themselves, having not initially intended to betray the Peace Party and feeling somewhat flustered.

However, as they prepared to fight, it was Jiang Chentong’s turn to feel a jolt of panic, yet he did not lose his composure. Although he was the only Level 6 New Human, it was unlikely that the two could take him down instantly, and with Guan Xiuyang and Ren Mingren arriving soon, the tables would turn to three against two.

But before the confrontation could escalate, a dark shadow fell from the sky not far away, landing on a car rooftop. Immediately, the car was squashed into a dumbbell shape, its middle crushed by a tremendous force, causing the ground to sink several centimeters and cracks to spread all around.

As the dust storm obscured their vision, it soon settled, and the three beheld a face stunningly beautiful and devilish, instantly recognizing who it was.

General Shang, Gong Xiao!

However, this time Gong Xiao exuded a formidable pressure unlike ever before.

"He’s Level 7!"

The trio was shocked, but it wasn’t surprising. If Bai Huipeng could evolve to Level 7, so could Gong Xiao. The only surprise was the vast disparity after just a few days, which was slightly hard to digest.

Each of their expressions varied, Xu Changchi’s filled with horror, Zhou Ranjun with anticipation, and Jiang Chentong with concern.

Having just escaped from Lin Jie’s hands, Xu Changchi was privy to the Peace Party’s secrets. Besides the three leaders, individuals like Song Muyuan, Liang Hanyang, and again Song Muyuan were undead disguised as humans. Regardless of how the Peace Party had transformed, these undead, disguised as humans, would unquestionably stand by Tang Ye’s side.

As for Zhou Ranjun, given Xu Changchi’s turn of allegiance, he was unsure who else might have betrayed the Peace Party. Therefore, upon seeing Gong Xiao emerge, knowing he possessed overwhelming Level 7 strength, Zhou would contemplate whether Gong Xiao was also a betrayer. If so, they’d be secure, but unbeknownst to him Gong Xiao’s undead nature—if he were aware, he would be utterly devastated.

As for Jiang Chentong, his thoughts mirrored Zhou’s. With Xu Changchi’s unexpected defection, he couldn’t be sure about Gong Xiao—if Gong Xiao had turned, they were finished!

Gong Xiao stepped off the flattened car, his gaze shifting toward Xu Changchi, but flickering with surprise upon seeing Zhou Ranjun.

"You two, by betraying the Peace Party, do you understand the consequences?"
