Man at the top of the food chain

It was quiet inside the abandoned factory late at night, which was completely opposite to the bright and lively lights in the distance.

But in this deserted place with no one around, a man was standing upside down in the factory.

The man only wore a pair of trousers, and his exposed upper body was covered with lean and strong muscles. He pointed his index finger on the ground to do a handstand, and his body was rising and falling with the bending of his arms.

If this scene were seen by ordinary citizens, they would be amazed by the man's strength and the strength of his fingers.

But in the view of Li Anping, who is exercising, it is not even a warm-up.

After completing a thousand one-finger handstands, Li Anping stood up again, but focused his gaze on a shadow.

"What are you?" There was deep doubt in his tone.

This is normal. Anyone who faces a 'person' who looks like a human but has no breathing, no heartbeat, and no breath of life will be confused and even afraid.

The humanoid figure stepped out from the shadows. He looked like a man, wearing the blue and white uniform of the Special Forces, the Daxia Dragon Bird. The five-pointed star on his shoulder shows that he holds a high position.

The man's face is very pale, his hair is short, he has no eyebrows, and there are no wrinkles on his face, making it hard to tell how old he is. But the way Li Anping looked at the man, he seemed to be able to see endless vicissitudes of life, including countless life and death, love and hatred.

This is a man who has had countless experiences.

But Li Anping couldn't feel any breath of life on his body, no breathing, no heartbeat, not even the sound of blood flowing, muscles, bones moving, or feet touching the ground.

The man looked like a human, but he didn't have any human characteristics, so Li Anping just asked him what he was and not who he was.

"You can call me Xia Liekong, I am one of the top leaders of Daxia Longque." The man said silently.

Li Anping was startled. He looked around, observed his surroundings, and settled down to listen to the sounds nearby. But except for the sound of the night wind blowing through the factory door, he heard nothing.

"Don't be nervous, I'm the only one here to see you today." Xia Liekong raised his finger and pointed at Li Anping from the distance: "Let me show you something."

Originally, his finger was intended to directly transmit a piece of information to Li Anping. Who would have thought that as soon as his thoughts touched Li Anping's brain, he felt a bloody wind coming towards his face.

Countless dead people wailed in front of him, and hundreds of scenes of death reappeared repeatedly in his mind.

Kano, Shang Zhenbang, Shang Anguo, and many other villains killed by Li Anping...

In Li Anping's mind, it was like a hell of the dead, with nothing but killing and death. And he is a person who went to hell by mistake.

Xia Liekong couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Li Anping in surprise.

"What are you doing?" Li Anping looked at the other party with confusion. In his feeling just now, the other party just stretched out his hand and pointed at him, but did nothing.

"I just wanted to tell you something through my brain." Xia Liekong shrugged: "But it seems that your brain is not very friendly." After saying that, he looked at Li Anping in surprise.

"To put it simply, I hope you can join Daxia Longque." He raised his hand to stop Li Anping from answering: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I have been paying attention to you since Zhongdu City. I know you are doing it. What, I know that so far, you have mainly killed some criminals, villains, and scum.”

"But do you think this is useful?" Xia Liekong sighed and said, "You kill a few bad guys every day, which is indeed very satisfying. But it will not help. Instead, it will only cause social unrest, and even those who died will be in vain. The position will be more confusing for the remaining people.”

"Then do nothing? Have you ever seen the fate of those innocent people, those who were bullied?" Li Anping sneered.

"I'm sorry about the Zhongdu matter and your matter, but even if you don't take action, Shang Anguo won't be active for long. He has already been on our blacklist. And the riots you caused in Zhongdu are directly or Indirectly, many innocent people were harmed.”

Xia Liekong said without giving in: "Managing a country is never a simple matter, and we cannot do it rudely. I admit that we have made mistakes, but reckless behavior like you will only make this country worse."

"You are compromising. Only with blood can those scum teach them what is wrong." Li Anping completely disagreed with what Xia Liekong said: "The best way is to kill them all. People like Kano , If you let an organization like Lone Wolf go, it will only make them more aggressive. What happened in Emerald City today is all caused by your weakness."

"Emerald City..." Xia Liekong said calmly: "This city is not the only one in Daxia. To be honest, it was only after I came here that I discovered that the situation in Emerald City is worse than I imagined. But there is no way In recent years, Ice Castle has become stronger and stronger, and has been sending troops to our border. More than 70% of the army, Daxia Longque, is concentrated on the northern border, and it is here to confront Ice Castle. Each of the three major organizations has strong power. If they are forced to do so, it will easily cause the situation to deteriorate into a big mess.

Therefore, what happens in Emerald City affects the whole body and is related to the situation in the entire Southern Xinjiang. Once we take action here, resulting in insufficient strength in northern Xinjiang and even erosion of the northern front, Ice Castle's army will take advantage of the situation and go south, spreading the war to the entire territory of Daxia. That is the real disaster. In contrast, matters in Emerald City can only be delayed again and again. "

Seeing Li Anping frowning and thinking, Xia Liekong continued: "That's why we need your power. If more strong people like you join, Daxia's power will be stronger, and it will be able to better control everything in the country. In such a place, with the support of strong force, the law will be strictly enforced, and the black forces will lose the breeding ground. Then bastards like Kano or Shang Zhenbang will no longer be able to do evil.

Isn't this much more effective than killing some people directly? "

Xia Liekong said a lot, but saw Li Anping had no reaction. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. At this moment, Li Anping said: "I will go to Tianjing, and I will also go to Daxia Longque, but not now. There are still many damn people in this city who are not dead."

Seeing Li Anping's stubborn look, Xia Liekong frowned and said, "You don't have to join the Great Xia Longque, but at least go to Tianjing and have a look. It will definitely change your mind."

Li Anping shook his head and walked back. Since Xia Liekong had discovered this place, he planned to leave here and find another place to rest.

"Don't take action against the Zhongyi Hall and the Qilin Group, especially the Zhongyi Hall. They have too many grassroots personnel. Once trouble breaks out, the entire Emerald City will be in chaos. There is also the Qilin Group. Their relationship with the Baiyue Royal Family also needs us. Check again.”

Seeing that Li Anping didn't answer and turned around to leave, Xia Liekong's figure flashed like a breeze, floating in front of Li Anping and blocking him.

Li Anping looked at Xia Liekong who was standing in front of him, and his tone became cold: "You want to catch me?"

Xia Liekong smiled and said: "I have seen you take action many times. Your physical strength is very strong, but you have almost no control over the mental energy. You just follow your instinct. And the amount of mental energy is only at the first level. Level. It's okay when you meet ordinary ability users, but once you meet a real master, these will be your Achilles' heel.

Things like the flesh are too easy to be restrained. The reason humans are strong is because we use tools..."

Halfway through Xia Liekong's words, he found that Li Anping had already walked away from him, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all. He frowned and stopped in front of him again and said: "Don't think that you are fearless just because you have defeated a few minions. There are too many abilities in this world to count, and there are also many kinds of weapons for killing people. . Not to mention anything else, cloud bombs and high-energy lasers are not something you can resist with your body alone.

I have seen many people with mutant abilities like you who are blindly confident in their own bodies. To be honest, you guys are the first to die on the battlefield.

So don’t you want to learn to read Qi? Only the ability of the esper himself, coupled with the use of Nian Qi, can he be truly powerful. Even against modern armies. Daxia Longque has the most advanced training system in the world. There you can understand the essence of your own abilities and the techniques for using various thoughts..."

Xia Liekong said a lot in one breath, but Li Anping didn't even stop, making everything he said was in vain. Looking at Li Anping's leaving figure, Xia Liekong burst into laughter and murmured to himself: "I never thought I would beg people to join me..."

After speaking, he waved his hand and the entire factory changed instantly. All the doors and windows disappeared, sealing Li Anping and him inside like a box.

Seeing Li Anping finally turned around, Xia Liekong explained: "This is my ability. Speaking of which, many people know that my ability is the eight dragons and eight phases, the eight powers of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the eight powers of life and death. In front of your eyes In fact, it is just my clone, Phantom Dragon. It has about one-eighth of my power. What you see now is just an illusion. Even the essence of my body is just an illusion."

Having said this, Xia Liekong also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why his consciousness bounced back when he put his consciousness directly into the other person's brain. He thought that the illusion was of no use to Li Anping. Unexpectedly, the visual illusion is still effective for Li Anping.

Thinking of this, he smiled confidently and said to Li Anping: "Let's make a bet. Within 24 hours, as long as you can escape this space created by my illusion, you must agree to join Daxia." Dragon Bird.”

Li Anping finally understood why there was no sign of life on the other party's body. It turns out to be a clone of an ability. He looked up at the surrounding space and found that it seemed to be about the same size as the original factory, except that the windows and doors disappeared, leaving only black and white walls around.

"Then what if you lose?"

"Huh?" A surprised expression appeared on Xia Liekong's face, and then he smiled and said, "Boy, if you win, you can make any requests to me."

"Okay!" Before Xia Liekong could even react, his ears were filled with the howling wind.

But Li Anping had disappeared from his eyes, and there was even a faint afterimage left on his retina.

Then a fist hit his head, slowly enlarging his eyes until it filled his entire sight. Xia Liekong couldn't even react at all.

It wasn't that he had no time to react, and it wasn't that he was too frightened to react. But Li Anping's speed was too fast, even faster than his brain could receive the news of Li Anping's punch.

At this moment, he didn't even know that Li Anping had appeared in front of him.

He didn't really react until a fist hit his head from top to bottom, and huge force exploded on his forehead.

boom!

The cage of illusion was shattered by the infinite power in the first second.

Immediately afterwards, the shock wave generated by the scattered wind of the fist blew all the debris in the factory into the air. Under the huge impact, the cement floor under Xia Liekong's feet was shaken into countless pieces and exploded into a large pit, filled with countless stones. Mud was flying everywhere, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the factory building made a series of cracking sounds, and cracks climbed up the wall. Then there was a loud bang, and a wave of air spurted out, and the entire factory building collapsed in ruins.

‘If I hadn’t used an illusion to appear in front of him beforehand, and his punch hadn’t really touched me, this clone would have collapsed. ’

Xia Lie in the distance watched all this silently. Unconsciously, he had lost his human form and turned into a small white dragon two or three meters long floating in the air.

This is the Phantom Dragon, the original form of his clone. Stimulated by the huge threat, he subconsciously restored his strongest form at the moment.

But even so, he didn't have the slightest confidence that he could receive Li Anping's punch just now in this posture.

At least four dragons need to be possessed by the main body before he can receive this punch with complete confidence.

At this moment, Li Anping walked out of the billowing smoke. When he saw Xia Liekong's appearance, he showed surprise. However, he didn't ask any more questions and just said to Xia Liekong.

"I want you to cooperate with me in cleaning up the Emerald City. After this place is clean enough, I will go to Tianjing to have a look. Of course, if you don't agree, I will do it myself."

Without giving Xia Liekong a chance to say a few more words, Li Anping jumped hard and disappeared into the vast night. Xia Liekong was left alone looking at the ruins in front of him with a wry smile.
