Chapter 433: Chapter 295: Red Tassels Like Fire
More than four hundred kilometers away from New Moon City, in a mountainous area, the terrain here is remote and desolate.
After two days and nights of low-key transportation, Su Mo safely brought Nuobai here.
This mountainous area has a hideout that Audiana built years ago, hidden in location, well-stocked with supplies, and known only to her, not even telling her butler McCarthy.
Hiding in such an isolated place, those pursuers couldn’t find Nuobai even if they dug three feet into the ground, enough to keep her safe and sound.
Audiana shared the same van with Su Mo this time, accompanying the entire journey.
Before Nuobai recovers, Audiana will be responsible for taking care of her.
After all, Su Mo has various messes in New Moon City to deal with and can’t stay here with Nuobai all the time. Leaving her to outsiders wouldn’t be reassuring, so Audiana is the only person he can entrust.
On the way here, to avoid electronic tracking from various high-precision devices, Su Mo and Audiana turned off all communication devices, only switching them on once Nuobai was settled.
They already knew about the incident at the Edge.
Audiana walked up to Su Mo and asked, "What are your thoughts next?"
Su Mo looked at Lucifer in the video, dressed in Hegemony Company’s uniform and said, "Before it was just a guess, but with Lucifer’s involvement, now I can be sure it’s the Fools’ Association stirring things up behind the scenes."
Audiana sighed and said, "Why did those maniacs have to target us... they won’t stop until they’ve consumed us entirely..."
"The Fools’ Association treats Nuobai like a toy, and now you’ve forcefully rescued her, they’re targeting you. How do you plan to respond?"
After asking, Audiana found Su Mo unresponsive, she turned her head to glance at him.
Su Mo had opened the message window, staring blankly at a message just sent by Chu Nanyi:
[Dongdong has quit the group for revenge!]
[Return quickly!]
...
...
...
New Moon City, Hellhound Mercenary Corps Headquarters.
The hall had turned into a battlefield; flames blazed on the floor, with Dongdong and Lucifer facing off across the fire.
The "Dragon Flame Blood Code" is a new type of blood code that emerged in recent years, in which Compiler Masters embedded the variant gene fragments of dragon beasts, granting carriers corresponding abilities.
As a "Critical High Tier" Dragon Flame Blood Code carrier, Lucifer was two small levels higher than Dongdong, who had replaced his entire body with "Military Grade 3" prosthetics.
One level of overload could compensate for and even surpass this difference, but this state consumes massive energy, making every minute precious. Therefore, Dongdong did not drag it out with Lucifer and promptly launched a frontal assault.
Her body stretched into a streak of afterimage, tearing through the sea of fire with the wind pressure, splitting to the sides.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Each swing of the Dragon Steel Baseball Bat carried Thunderous Power, the air explosion noises merging into one, creating an extremely terrifying momentum.
Having quit the group, Dongdong was nominally no longer related to Edge, unencumbered and fearless, each strike intent on killing Lucifer.
The immense power gap made it difficult for Lucifer to fend off; he spewed dragon breath again to force Dongdong back, stood firm, eyes sharp, mobilizing the deeper abilities of the Dragon Flame Blood Code.
Rolling flame spots appeared on his body surface, not rushing towards the throat, but instead traveling through the blood vessels, the whole body seeming to overflow with countless fireflies, surging battle intent welling up.
When Dongdong attacked again, Lucifer’s speed suddenly surged, also transforming into an afterimage, adeptly dodging the Dragon Steel Baseball Bat, delivering a fierce punch to her abdomen.
With a "dong," Dongdong was hit back, sliding more than ten meters across the ground.
She flipped up, glaring at Lucifer, muttering to herself, "Incineration?"
Lucifer: "Oh? You actually know? Seems not so brainless after all."
Dongdong had always been rash, but not this time; she had checked the intelligence database on Lucifer before seeking revenge, fully understanding the capabilities of the Dragon Flame Blood Code.
Incineration, is a special ability of the Dragon Flame Blood Code, significantly enhancing physical functions by activating the dragon variant genes within.
After activating this ability, a mass of flame spots floats over the body, lingering for a long time, almost like the entire body is on fire, hence the name "Incineration."
The effects of Incineration are similar to the scorching blood of the Crimson Rose Blood Code; Lucifer’s ability tier is already higher than Dongdong’s, and now with Incineration enhancing his body, the gap from one level of overload is completely closed.
This time, Lucifer launched the attack on Dongdong.
Facing the incoming swing of the baseball bat, he wasn’t pushed back but stepped forward, closing the distance.
This kind of close-range fight made it impossible for the baseball bat to fully exert, the accumulated force had nowhere to go, completely missing.
"Dong!" In an instant, Lucifer seized the opening, counterattacking with an upper elbow striking Dongdong’s chin.
Dongdong was knocked back with blood in her mouth, falling backward, with Lucifer swiftly exploiting her instability, his combo punches repeatedly hitting her abdomen and ribs.
These punches not only bore great strength but also gathered scalding flame spots on the fist surface, with extremely high temperatures, burning multiple red prints onto Dongdong’s body.
Lucifer altered his footwork, adopting an extremely professional fighting stance, mocked, "A street fighter is a joke, using such trash weapons, is a baseball bat useful?"
Dongdong wiped the blood from her lips, said nothing, continued charging at Lucifer, swinging the baseball bat.
Lucifer is indeed the top "daddy’s boy" among the New Moon Seven Stars, but don’t assume he only relies on connections.
