Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Chen Xiao is Dead

Tang Shirou's pupils contracted violently!Pearl of Death…It was a missile network system capable of annihilating an entire region!Without exaggeration—its power rivaled a miniature nuclear bomb!

This was the Tang family's ultimate trump card, the pinnacle of their influence over Huaxia's military technology—and only one existed in the entire country!

"Hmph, he forced me to do this…""Tang Xiangui! You're insane! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment for this?!"

It was Tang Shirou shouting, her voice trembling in disbelief.A doomsday weapon—how many innocent lives would be buried with it?!

Tang Xiangui sneered coldly."They're just ordinary civilians.If the two from the Yang family survive, that's already a blessing for humanity."

The Yang father and son burst out laughing."Good! Good! Tang Xiangui, you're a real man!""The Yang family will make sure you're welcomed into the capital!"

Exactly what Tang Xiangui wanted—everything for entering the capital!Everything for the Tang family!He was not wrong.

It was Chen Xiao's fault!It was Tang Shirou's fault!

And yet… Tang Xiangui's heart still ached.This Pearl of Death was the Tang family's only reserve, their last weapon.To use it on a single man—and worse, that man was inside the city!

Once launched—half the city would be reduced to ashes!Bustling streets would vanish into rubble, countless innocent lives lost in an instant!The public support and trust he had painstakingly built would all be destroyed.

But there was no turning back now!That killing god was already upon them.Hesitate for another second, and the ones dying would not be civilians—it would be Tang Xiangui himself, and the Yang father and son!

"Flee!"

The moment he put down the walkie-talkie, Tang Xiangui ordered the two airborne ability users beneath him.They spread their massive white wings, turning into streaks of light as they shot skyward—and then, disaster struck.

"Hum——""Whoosh whoosh whoosh——""Hum——"

From the heavens, a colossal metallic shadow descended.It gleamed coldly beneath the sunlight,like a sword in Death's hand—its steel shell reflecting a cruel, merciless light.

The air grew unbearably heavy.Everyone could feel it—an invisible pressure crushing their chests.Heads turned skyward in unison, eyes widening in horror.Through buildings, cables, and trees, their gazes locked onto the doomsday bomb suspended in midair.

"Run! It's a bomb!""No—it's not a bomb! That's the Tang family's Pearl of Death!""For real?! Shit!"

Panic exploded across the streets,the desperate shouts slicing through the deathly silence like blades.

"Old Master Tang has abandoned us! Run, before it's too late!""F**k, we're innocent!""Apocalypse within an apocalypse!""What did we do to deserve this?!""No time—no time left!"

"We're all going to die! Everything's going to be destroyed!"

Deafening screams echoed through the streets,like crashing waves of despair tearing through the human soul.Faces twisted in terror and helplessness;despair surged like a flood.

In that moment, time and space stretched to the limit—every second felt infinitely long.A countdown to death throbbed wildly in every heart.

Chen Xiao never imagined the Tang family still possessed such overwhelming power!Even with his [Dragonification],what countermeasure could he possibly have?!

He raised his head, eyes locking onto the weapon of human annihilation roaring toward him.No hesitation—he turned and fled!

Facing the Pearl of Death,the pinnacle of human destructive capability,Chen Xiao knew that resistance was meaningless.

Even his dragonified body—brimming with boundless power—was nothing before this absolute force!

In an instant, Chen Xiao unleashed every ounce of his strength!Harnessing the full speed of his transformation,he shot across the sky like a burning meteor!

Faster!Faster!Faster still!

He could feel his limits shattering—again and again!This was the very edge of human potential!

But the Pearl of Death—came faster.

In a heartbeat, space and time tore apart.The entire world was swallowed by blinding white!

A brilliant radiance devoured the sky,its heat a thousand times fiercer than the sun.Then came a monstrous fireball—like the gates of hell bursting open—devouring everything in its path!

Its temperature could melt steel,its pressure could shatter the heavens.Skyscrapers collapsed like children's toys,walls of alloy crumpled like paper.

"Hum——""Whoosh whoosh whoosh——""Hum——"

The sound of destruction rolled endlessly.A devastating heatwave surged outward like a tsunami,leaving only ash and silence in its wake.

City streets, parks, and plazas vaporized in an instant.What remained was nothing but charred ruins.

A column of radioactive dust spiraled high into the air,spreading outward to form a massive, sinister mushroom cloud.

The Pearl of Death—left no survivors.Silence reigned over the dead city.Life itself had been erased.

The blast was far more terrifying than Tang Xiangui had anticipated.It wasn't half the city destroyed—half the city had vanished,as though erased from the world's map!

Every sign of life obliterated.Endless fire and smoke roared skyward,bearing witness to the catastrophe that had struck this land.

The remaining half of the city was unrecognizable.Skyscraper glass rained down like waterfalls,buildings crumbled into twisted debris,streets torn apart like an earthquake's aftermath.

The once-curious crowds that had gathered to watch the chaoswere now replaced by silence and mourning.

The only structure still standing—was the Tang family mansion.

But Tang Xiangui felt no regret.This… was the only path to survival.

"Tang Xiangui… are you satisfied now?"

Tang Shirou knelt on a hill outside the city,staring at the smoldering ruins below,tears streaming down her face.

Her heart was shattered.Her world was gone.

She finally understood—how small,how powerless,humans truly were before such destruction.

Chen Xiao… is dead.

"Hahahahaha! Old Master Tang, splendid! Ruthless and decisive!""That was terrifying! I thought I was done for—what a waste that would've been!"

The Yang father and son finally relaxed,their faces still pale from terror.

That man… that killing god…was far too terrifying.

But in the end—no matter how strong one's martial prowess,no one can defy a nuclear blast.

He had finally paid the price for his arrogance.

He is dead.
