The sudden turn of events was staggering. Da Tou was being viciously beaten by Old Five, while Old Four inexplicably died.
As the smell of blood filled the air, Old Five's bloodshot eyes turned towards Xu Guang and Old Four. In that moment, he let out a furious roar, "Xu... Guang!"
Seizing the opportunity while Old Five was momentarily distracted, Da Tou kicked him away and quickly retreated.
With the situation already escalated to a fight to the death, and Old Four eliminated, Xu Guang shouted at Da Tou, "Let's take him down together!"
What followed was a chaotic melee between the three, with fists and blood flying, reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster.
In the surveillance room, Su Mo sat leisurely on a chair, munching on melon seeds, constantly commenting on the situation.
"This Old Five is formidable, holding his own against two opponents.
This Da Tou is just a brute, always resorting to trading blows without using his brain.
As for Xu Guang, he's quite cunning, willing to forgo personal achievements to ensure his own safety. Not bad, he's a smart one."
Standing beside him, Gao Ming asked, "Why are they so ruthless? Just an hour ago, they were still comrades. Now, they're like mortal enemies. It's ironic."
Su Mo spat out a melon seed shell and casually replied, "They are part of a gang, involved in dangerous activities where life is at stake. None of them are innocent. When faced with danger, they can turn against their own comrades or even their own parents without hesitation. It's normal."
"I once saw a drug dealer who, in order to save himself, killed his own child. That's what I call madness. These people have lost their way, which is why they need someone like me, a guiding light, to illuminate their path forward."
"Ah, my biggest flaw is being too kind-hearted."
Hearing this, Gao Ming's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to respond because, after all, this kind-hearted gentleman might kill him with a snap if he displeased him.
However, he did agree with Su Mo's words. After all, when he was a police officer, his colleagues didn't hesitate to betray him without considering their past relationship.
After about ten minutes, Old Five lay in a pool of blood. It was difficult to win a frontal battle against two opponents.
Da Tou had been stabbed in the abdomen, blood flowing profusely. He was now in a state of extreme madness, relentlessly hacking at Old Five with his long knife, even though Old Five was already dead.
Xu Guang, on the other hand, leaned against the wall, holding a short knife, his gaze flickering and seemingly plotting something sinister.
After dismembering Old Five, Da Tou, with blood all over his mouth, stared at Xu Guang with eyes filled with madness. He had almost lost his sanity.
Already heavily injured and feeling dizzy from the exertion, he desperately wanted to sleep.
"Xu Guang, I know you want to kill me. Well, I'll kill you first."
With those words, Da Tou slowly approached Xu Guang, knife in hand.
Xu Guang quickly retreated and ran out of the hospital room. As he exited the room, he turned back to Da Tou and said,
"Da Tou, didn't we agree to settle the score later? Second Master is still here.
Don't get too worked up. You're badly injured. Get yourself patched up first."
Da Tou grinned, revealing his red and white teeth. He said darkly, "Xu Guang, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just want to wait for me to weaken and then kill me, don't you?
I'll take care of you first, and as for Second Master Mei, he's old. After I kill you, I can deal with him anytime."
After speaking, he took a step forward and ran towards Xu Guang.
Xu Guang wasn't foolish. He wouldn't confront this brute head-on, so he quickly ran away. Thus, a chase began.
The two of them chased from the corridor to the room, then from the ward to the stairs, and finally ran onto the open ground downstairs. It was like a game they used to play as children, with one chasing and the other running, full of joy.
After a few more minutes, Da Tou's speed slowed down. The bloodstains under his feet and the bleeding from his stomach wound increased. His steps became unsteady.
After Xu Guang dragged him for another two minutes, Da Tou could barely stand and staggered towards him.
Feeling that it was about enough, Xu Guang stopped and looked at Da Tou with a cold gaze. "Why did you chase after me? Wouldn't it be better to wait for death peacefully?
Da Tou, we were once brothers. I'll send you on your way. Don't worry, there won't be any pain."
After saying that, Xu Guang accelerated, circled behind Da Tou, pressed his left leg against Da Tou's waist, and grabbed his head.
With a horizontal slash, blood spurted and sealed his throat. Da Tou indeed felt no pain. His body twitched twice and then fell to the ground motionless.
After killing Da Tou, Xu Guang looked up and saw Second Master Mei watching him silently.
He smiled and said, "Second Master, did you enjoy the show?"
Second Master Mei on the first floor had a dignified expression, as if he had returned to his fearless and upright youth.
"Xu Guang, you're quite good. Wait for me there, I'm coming down."
"Awaiting your arrival, Second Master," Xu Guang replied with a smile.
Then, Second Master Mei walked calmly downstairs while Xu Guang waited there with a smile.
After about a minute, Second Master Mei reached the bottom of the stairs and stopped about three meters away from Xu Guang.
"I never expected that the last person standing would be you."
"I apologize for the surprise, Second Master. Who did you think would be the last one standing? Old Five? Old Four? Or Zhao Lei?"
A faint smile appeared on Second Master Mei's lips. "Of course, it would be me."
As he uttered these words, he raised his arm, and the dark muzzle pointed at Xu Guang's head.
"How is this possible?"
"Bang!"
Xu Guang's cry of astonishment and the sound of the gunshot rang out simultaneously. In the next second, Xu Guang fell to the ground, his face filled with disbelief.
Second Master Mei walked to Xu Guang's side and looked at the blood flowing from his forehead. He whispered, "I'm sorry, but I have to stay alive. There are things I haven't finished."
Then, he turned around and looked around, shouting loudly, "Judicator of the Dark Night, I have won. Can you let me leave now?"
"Of course, you can leave. I am a person of integrity. However, the antidote and the key to leave, you have to get them yourself.
I can't help you with that. Once you have the antidote and the key, you can go back."
Oh, I forgot to tell you, your son's oxygen is running low. If you don't return tonight, it's likely that your son will, uh... hahaha... ahahaha..."
Immediately, Su Mo's voice came through the loudspeaker, and Second Master Mei listened with a worried expression. He knew Su Mo wasn't lying.
"I must hurry back. My son is waiting for me to change his oxygen."
Without hesitation, he began searching everywhere. This place wasn't big to begin with, with three sides surrounded by six-story buildings and a large iron gate on the other side.
There definitely wouldn't be any keys or antidotes inside the three buildings, otherwise, they would have been found already. So, he started searching around the iron gate.
Before long, he spotted the key and antidote, but it seemed that obtaining these things wouldn't be easy.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
