Chapter 630 Body Takeover
Although Wang Chao couldn't see through Bernard, he could deduce from the various structures here that Bernard was undoubtedly an extremely wicked person who had done many unimaginable things. As a result, a strong killing intent had arisen in his heart towards Bernard.
"You think you can kill me with just yourself?" Bernard sneered.
"Yes, just me!" Wang Chao said coldly.
Swish!
As the words fell, he disappeared from his original position.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Bernard like a ghost, his hand knife striking towards Bernard's throat.
At the moment Wang Chao made his move, Bernard seemed to have anticipated it long ago. The battle knife held behind his back flashed like a divine bird and fiercely struck Wang Chao's hand knife.
Clang!
The hand knife and the battle knife collided, creating a deafening sound of clashing metal.
Around them, waves of blade qi swept through the surroundings, tearing the ground into pits.
"Hmm?" Bernard's eyes widened in astonishment, unable to believe what he was witnessing, feeling shocked deep inside.
A mere flesh and blood hand could directly clash with the battle knife that his family had collected for many years without sustaining any damage. How could this be?
"Hmm?" Wang Chao's heart also trembled.
This battle knife was able to withstand his hand knife without breaking, indicating its excellent quality.
"Not bad, but with just this much skill, you think you can kill me? You're a hundred years too early," Bernard coldly laughed.
Buzz!
As he spoke, an unmatched terror erupted from him.
He seemed like a supreme demon awakened from hell, exuding an overwhelming aura of malevolence.
Even Wang Chao, facing this version of Bernard, felt his expression change dramatically, shuddering with fear.
At this moment, Bernard made his move.
The battle knife moved like lightning towards Wang Chao!
Swift!
The attack was so fast that it couldn't be seen by the naked eye, not even a trace of light and shadow.
The sharp blade qi came crashing down, tearing the ground into pits.
Wang Chao's heart trembled, and without hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to block.
Clang, clang, clang!
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of moves.
The sound of clashing metal was incessant!
In fact, due to their rapid movements during the battle, they both left behind afterimages, appearing as two blurry shapes fighting throughout the underground cave.
Only shadows and sounds were present, no actual figures were visible, just two clusters of light and shadow moving.
As they fought and moved, the entire underground cave became filled with countless blade marks, a shocking sight to behold.
The battle was difficult to determine!
The sound of clashing metal was like a symphony, powerful and full of murderous intent.
After approximately thirty minutes, with a muffled explosion akin to thunder, the two separated.
Wang Chao and Bernard stood more than ten meters apart, facing each other, their gazes sharp as knives.
Wang Chao's clothes were in tatters, with several bloodstains on his body.
He looked at Bernard in shock.
He had already used almost seventy percent of his strength, which would have been enough to easily defeat a Great King-level expert. However, he felt a bit strained when facing this Bernard.
Bernard's clothes were not torn, but his expression was as if he had eaten dog feces.
Wang Chao was equally stunned, even more so internally.
He had hidden his identity very well. As a peerless expert and a hegemonic figure, he had roamed freely in White Eagle Country for so long that no one could match him. Even when a Great King-level expert from the Special Abilities Bureau of White Eagle Country had recognized his identity and came to arrest him, he had killed them with ease.
Now, Wang Chao could actually hold his own against him, and several times, Wang Chao's hand knife even gave him a sense of extreme danger, making his heart tremble and preventing him from trying to forcefully contend.
Bernard looked at his clothes, then turned to stare at Wang Chao, his eyes cold and ugly, gritting his teeth, "Who are you?"
"Isn't this the question I should be asking you, Dean Bernard? Who are you?" Wang Chao replied.
"I am Bernard, the Vice Dean of Massachusetts General Hospital and also a direct descendant of one of the ten major families of White Eagle Country."
"Stop, there's no need to say anything about that. What I want to know is who the true owner hidden within your body is?" Wang Chao's eyes narrowed.
"What do you mean?" Bernard's expression changed.
"We are all smart people, so stop pretending."
Wang Chao tore his torn shirt, revealing his upper body covered in scars, with perfectly sculpted muscles resembling ancient Greek statues.
His physique impressed Bernard, but what Wang Chao uttered in the next moment made his eyes grow colder and colder.
"Based on my investigation, Bernard used to be a kind person with great medical skills and a sincere and warm personality. His strength was not that strong, at most a one-star War General level."
"But after falling into the bat cave, he seemed to have changed completely, becoming cold, cunning, and only pursuing his own interests."
"Most importantly, his strength became extremely powerful. Within five years, he went from a one-star War General to a Great King level and even fought me to a draw."
With a colder expression, Wang Chao stared at Bernard. "So, I've come to a conclusion that the true personality of Bernard is no longer present."
"What replaced it is another personality."
"When people are in extreme panic, they can develop strong reactive defense mechanisms, and their personalities may change significantly, possibly giving rise to a distinct sinister personality, which serves to protect themselves."
"Therefore, either you have a severe mental disorder, or you have been taken over by some sinister soul."
"I've been in contact with you for so long, and we fought for this period of time. I can confirm that it's the latter!"
"Right now, inside Bernard's body, it's not his true soul, but another soul."
"So, who are you?"
During the day and night of tracking Bernard, Wang Chao had investigated his background.
The Bernard before and after entering the bat cave were like two completely different individuals in terms of behavior and actions.
In their recent battle, Wang Chao's intuition was especially accurate.
Bernard's every move was lethal, sinister, and extremely vicious.
If he was not careful, he could have been killed directly.
Hence, the present Bernard was definitely not an ordinary person; at the very least, he was no longer the person he used to be.
"I still do not understand what you are talking about." Bernard stared at Wang Chao with a surging killing intent.
As he spoke, he threw his fight knife away.
Boom!
The knife hit a control mechanism, and the door to the underground cave slammed shut, sealing them inside.
"Wang Chao, you forced me to do this!" Bernard uttered coldly.
Wang Chao had learned his greatest secret, and there was no way he could allow Wang Chao to leave now.
