Decapitation Operation!

Arthur looked at the Golden King, then raised the dagger in his hand. "You don't really think everything can be measured in money, do you?"

The Golden King chuckled lightly, "Isn't that so? The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for gain."

"Armed wars, commercial competition, cultural export—everything is for the sake of profit. If we abandon profit, then the evolution of life is meaningless."

"Everything in this world can be exchanged for its equivalent value. If there is anything that cannot be obtained through profit, it must be because the profit is not large enough."

"If someone offers a hundred gold coins for my head, I'll offer a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, or even ten million gold coins. The exponential profit is the most fascinating thing."

"We're all out here to do business, and everything we do is just to make a profit. I don't believe there's anything in this world that can't be moved by profit."

Arthur sneered, "That's because you haven't seen much. Today I'll show you!"

After saying that, Arthur rushed straight towards the Golden King, intending to cut him in two with a single stroke!

The Golden King's body is no different from that of an ordinary human; Arthur could probably take him down easily without anyone else even needing to intervene.

However, at that moment, Arthur, who had rushed out, was suddenly struck in the abdomen and was blasted back by a terrifying force!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a red-haired woman suddenly appeared next to the Golden King!

They recognized the red-haired woman!

That's the salesperson who greeted them inside the Mad Hatter Merchant's building!

She's actually a Sequence?!

Everyone present was stunned. Neither then nor now had they sensed anything special about the woman in front of them; she was just an ordinary person.

The red-haired woman was wearing a suit, her red hair was braided, and she had half a cigarette butt in her mouth.

"You should have seen her, and even if you haven't, you should have heard her name: Martial Sovereign Chun Lei."

Empress Wu?

"The Martial Emperor is a woman?"

After getting up, Arthur said with a puzzled look that he knew about the Martial Emperor. Back on Earth, 009 had gathered a group of Sequences to deal with Bai Ye, and the Martial Emperor was one of them.

Empress Wu refused, but at that time, Arthur clearly saw a man!

What exactly happened? Was she stung by 004 and had her gender changed?

Seeing Arthur's puzzled expression, the Golden King continued, "Spring Thunder, show that thing to them."

Upon hearing this, Martial Sovereign Chun Lei took out a pocket watch from his pocket, then opened the cover of the pocket watch, and saw a picture of a man inside.

Chunlei pressed the button next to the lid, and his appearance instantly changed to that of a man.

The photo inside the pocket watch had changed to a red-haired woman.

This is a product of the Golden King, something that can be easily modified, called Mimic Pocket Watch.

Simply place a photograph inside and press the button on the pocket watch, and the person holding the watch will transform into the person in the photograph.

After the demonstration, Chunlei switched back to the red-haired woman's form, because that was her true appearance.

Her number is 045: Empress Wu.

Like the members of the Chaos Splitter, he was also at the peak of level three, but strangely, no one could sense him.

Because the Martial Emperor has an ability called Breath Concealment, which allows her to completely hide her strength and aura, making her look like an ordinary person.

Arthur and his companions knew of the existence of the Martial Emperor, but they were unaware that the Martial Emperor was a member of the Golden King 'Golden King faction and had always served as his bodyguard.

Lin Feng, clad in the Chaos Holy Armor, looked at the Golden King and asked, "So this is your reason for being so fearless?"

Just as the Golden King was about to speak, Lin Feng, disregarding all martial ethics, launched a sneak attack!

His speed was comparable to that of a fourth-tier warrior, and he arrived in front of the Golden King in the blink of an eye, but Chun Lei blocked his way in a flash!

Lin Feng threw a punch, but Chun Lei swung his right leg. The two punches and kicks collided, and Lin Feng was sent flying!

Boom!!

With a loud crash, Lin Feng slammed heavily against the temple wall!

But the spring thunder was completely unharmed.

Seeing this, Qianhou roared and rushed forward, but after only a few exchanges, he was sent flying by Chunlei!

No matter how much of an impact Chunlei suffered, he acted as if nothing had happened, which was too strange.

"What are the Martial Emperor's abilities?!" the centaur shouted, but no one answered him, because they didn't know either!

At this moment, Lin Feng fell off the wall. He touched his body and realized that the Holy Armor was indeed very strong, with almost maximum defensive capabilities.

However, the Chaos Holy Armor would devour flesh and blood and turn it into kinetic energy, so if he could, Lin Feng really didn't want to wear it.

But there was no way around it; 009 forced him to wear it.

Wearing this thing, Lin Feng dared not use his full strength easily, nor did he dare to suffer too serious injuries, otherwise the Holy Armor would start eating his flesh to repair and supply energy.

Just now, the Chaos Holy Armor provided Lin Feng with a piece of information feedback.

The power of the kick that the Martial Emperor just delivered was equivalent to that of a fourth-tier attacker, and the power of that attack was almost the same as that of the attack Lin Feng delivered!

Upon seeing this message, a sudden inspiration struck Lin Feng: "She can Borrowing Strength to Strike Back!"

Borrowing Strength to Strike Back?

The Golden King chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "They actually guessed it. Spring Thunder, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chunlei immediately spat out the cigarette butt from her mouth, and then stopped concealing her aura, releasing a layer of protective qi onto her body instantly!

At this moment, Lin Feng and his companions seemed to have made up their minds, and they attacked simultaneously from all directions!

This time, even Gawain has made a move!

They rushed forward, but Chunlei aimed at Arthur. She dodged Arthur's attack and simultaneously struck out with her palm!

At the same time, all the other people's attacks hit her, but none of them broke through her protective aura!

Instead, all the strength of these people was gathered into the Martial Empress's palm. As she unleashed a palm strike, the force erupted, directly turning Arthur into a pile of minced meat!

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Arthur died instantly!

This attack absorbed the combined power of Lin Feng, Gawain, Qianhou, and Renma. The combined power of the four of them crushed Arthur without any doubt!

"Arthur!"

"Don't shout!"

A spinning core flew out from Arthur's shattered body, and then, as if time had reversed, his broken body was restored to its original state.

Arthur reopened his eyes. "You think you're the only one with a divine artifact?"

009 fused a fission within Arthur's body called the Recurve Core. Each time Arthur dies, the Recurve Core quickly reverts his body to the state it was in one minute before his death.

Unless the Recurve Core is destroyed, he can rewind indefinitely.

Unfortunately, this Recurve Core is exceptionally hard, and even ordinary fourth-order units struggle to break through it.

However, this attack shows that Chun Lei can absorb all the force it receives and then counterattack.

This ability is almost impossible to counter unless it's a mental attack!

After a fierce battle, Arthur suddenly came up with a plan and cleaved open the space beneath Chunlei's feet with a single strike!

Lin Feng instantly understood Arthur's meaning and joined forces with Gawain to strike Chunlei's shoulder at the same time!

This power, though insufficient to shake the spring thunder, was enough to keep her still!

"Damn it..."

Chunlei realized something was wrong, but it was too late; she fell directly into the spatial rift that Arthur had cleaved open.

The crack closed up quickly.

Lin Feng let out a heavy sigh, then looked at the Golden King.

"Now, he's all alone."

Without further ado, everyone attacked the Golden King together!

"I actually have to do it myself."

After the Golden King finished speaking, a flash of golden light appeared in his hand, and he directly took out a uniquely shaped Golden Greatsword!

The moment that sword appeared, everyone bathed in its light was frozen in mid-air!

Immediately, countless golden sword phantoms began to appear around them and above their heads!

"Is this the sword hanging overhead?"

The Golden King stood up. "Those pieces of trash from 009 dare to call themselves artifacts? It's time to change your perceptions."

"Look closely, this is the real magic weapon."
