The atmosphere was slightly strange. Zhao Jin frowned as he stared at Old Yang. For someone like him who had once enjoyed glory, power, and wealth, many people had left after his downfall.

Even someone as mature as him couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.

But Old Yang was different. He had saved Old Yang, and Lao Yang had always stayed by his side, which made Zhao Jin see a rare bit of human kindness.

But now Chen Wang is saying that all of this was designed by Old Yang! Logically, one shouldn't doubt it, but Zhao Jin is also a suspicious person. Looking at Old Yang, he said in a deep voice, "Old Yang, what exactly is going on?"

The old man opposite him, with a deep-set face and missing half an ear, looked somewhat anxious. He was gesturing frantically in the air, trying to explain something, but Chen Wang couldn't understand his sign language.

Zhao Jin shook his head. "With Mr. Chen's strength, there is no need for him to lie to me or sow discord between us."

Although he didn't translate for Chen Wang understood what the deep-faced old man opposite him had said after listening. It turned out he had contradicted me... Chen Wang stared at Old Yang and suddenly said, "This is my first order. Boss Zhao paid the money."

Bang! Chen Wang raised his hand and fired a shot without hesitation. The AA12 unleashed tremendous firepower at this distance, sending sparks flying everywhere! The Zombies had no chance to fight back under Chen Wang's gun and were instantly shattered. At this moment, the old man with a deep-set face opposite him hurriedly covered his head with his hands and squatted down, looking somewhat panicked. Chen Wang did not shoot him indiscriminately, as this shot had already gone astray.

Old Yang pointed to himself in the air, indicating that he was fine. Zhao Jin glanced at Chen Wang; Old Yang didn't seem to have any great strength.

Chen Wang smiled coldly, "Even an ordinary person would dodge if they saw me raise my gun at this moment, instead of choosing to crouch down."

Just now, he raised his hand and fired a shot that could have shattered the Zombies.

At this moment, Old Yang, who was squatting on the ground and looked somewhat flustered, suddenly froze. His lips twitched slightly. He slowly straightened up, frowned, and the honest expression on his face disappeared. He said in a hoarse voice, "Are all young people these days so shrewd?"

Old Yang suddenly spoke, and Zhao Jin's body trembled. He was a man who had seen his share of storms, and at this moment, he suddenly understood.

But he was still somewhat shocked. "Old Yang, why did you do this? I trusted you so much!"

The old man with the stern face sneered, "Trust?"

"Someone like you is so engrossed in business, how could you possibly trust anyone?"

Despite the fact that his plan had been exposed, Old Yang remained calm, even after witnessing Chen Wang's formidable strength.

He gave Chen Wang a deep look and said, "There are many heroic deeds in the Winter, most of which are just boasting, but I never expected that they would actually be true in your case."

Clearly, he knew Chen Wang to some extent.

After all, Chen Wang has been the most talked-about person in the Shelter lately.

Chen Wang single-handedly defeated Liang Dong's squad of four in a bar. Later, Liang Dong's squad even praised Chen Wang's character, expressing their complete admiration. These were all seasoned veterans, powerful Tier 3 Soldier who might be killed, but subduing these unruly and ruthless individuals was extremely difficult. Therefore, Chen Wang's reputation grew even stronger.

Not to mention that he once encountered an ambush by Church team of more than a dozen people and managed to kill them all.

Chen Wang calmly said, "Enough with the nonsense."

The old man seemed to have been silent for too long; pretending to be mute wasn't an easy thing to do.

He seemed to have a lot to say, and said calmly, "You don't need to scare me. I know you can fight. You wiped out a fourteen-man Tier 3 Soldier squad by yourself, but you can't stop me."

Old Yang straightened his back at this moment. This old man, with his deep-set face, missing an ear, and seemingly unremarkable appearance, now possessed an unusual aura.

A team of fourteen people... Chen Wang frowned. Why do I remember there being seven people?

However, he soon realized that the rumors were just like that—the more they spread, the more outrageous they became.

Chen Wang even suspected that if the story continued to spread, he might kill thirty people at once.

Old Yang's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's. He glanced at Zhao Jin indifferently and said, "Don't worry, we have a long time ahead of us. I will find out your secret sooner or later. You can't hide it."

This remark had a hint of provocation. Upon hearing it, Zhao Jin's face paled, and he glanced at Chen Wang almost imperceptibly.

A smile appeared on Old Yang's face as he said to Chen Wang, "He has more secrets than you think. You can ask him if you're interested."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Yang vanished in a flash, disappearing completely from sight.

But Chen Wang's spiritual power had been continuously deployed from the beginning.

Previously in the car, including during the battle with the Zombies and thugs, there was essentially a 360-degree camera surveillance system, monitoring Old Yang and Zhao Jin's expressions, eyes, and even their breathing.

After Old Yang disappeared, Chen Wang keenly noticed a faint life force about ten meters away in the direction Old Yang had just left.

"Invisibility?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

He immediately unleashed Mental Attack, a third-tier Genetic Ability — Mind Master! His mental attack, like countless steel spikes, locked onto the aura.

"Ahhh!"

A piercing scream erupted, and the next moment, without blinking, Chen Wang raised his hand and fired a shot.

His marksmanship was extremely accurate.

Boom!

Large-caliber bullets flew from the cold barrel of the Shotgun, sparks flying everywhere, exploding in the air into a cloud of blood mist, with bits of flesh and bones scattered all over the ground, and a figure appeared!

Old Yang!

But now only his upper body remains; his lower body was shot to pieces by Chen Wang, his intestines spilling out onto the ground, and he is spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

At this moment, Old Yang's eyes widened in disbelief.

He just used his Genetic Ability to change color.

But why was this young man still able to find him?! Chen Wang didn't waste any words with him. Old Yang had been shot and was basically dead.

Chen Wang walked over, and without saying a word, stomped down hard on Old Yang's head—bang!—crushing it! He turned to look at Zhao Jin, frowning. "Has he always been such a show-off?"

Zhao Jin was first amazed by Old Yang's elusive abilities, then shocked by Chen Wang's terrifying methods of killing. Hearing Chen Wang's words, Zhao Jin took a moment to process what he had just heard before finally coming back to his senses. "No, I don't know."

He looked at Chen Wang and couldn't help but swallow.

Chen Wang searched through Old Yang's body but found nothing special or containing any information.

"You think you can pull off such a crude invisibility trick in front of me? You're kidding me!"

Chen Wang cursed inwardly.

Regarding invisibility in the Cultivation World, his explanation of invisibility is at most a matter of changing body color, similar to a chameleon.

Moreover, Chen Wang felt that the person was lying there motionless after becoming invisible, which must be due to some special restriction.
