Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1647: Chapter 874: Betrayer of Ideals (Part 3)

The commander in the military base watched the scene on the monitor, feeling a bit strange. This A-Class expert clearly had the ability to crush over a dozen war robots in an instant, yet he didn’t do so.

Was he just scratching the war robots?

The Drama Master beside him whispered, ”Our guy.”

Just then, He Jinqiu said coldly, ”It’s done!”

In an instant, the electromagnetic pulse within Qing Chen’s body swept wildly, with golden arcs jumping and boiling on him.

The young man stood in the rain, his eyes flowing with golden light, captivating.

Not only that, but the thunder in the clouds seemed to be summoned, as a massive electromagnetic load guided a purple lightning bolt down from the sky.

The plasma on Qing Chen’s body connected with the thunder above, as if under the protection of the thunder.

On the ground and in the sky, over a hundred war robots lost the light in their eyes simultaneously.

The rumbling sound came as the war robots in the sky fell to the ground.

What He Jinqiu did was not to kill the war robots; with their alloy armor, even the Jade Heart Sword would gradually break after destroying over a dozen.

But he didn’t need to face them directly; he just needed to cut openings in the anti-electromagnetic pulse coating on the robots’ bodies, leaving the rest to Qing Chen.

The military base commander saw this and immediately turned to the Drama Master, ”Isn’t this one of ours?”

The Drama Master glanced at him and said, ”Everything is still within destiny’s plan.”

”Over a hundred war robots, destroyed in such a simple manner,” the commander frowned. ”Each war robot costs billions!”

The Drama Master chuckled, ”In front of Joker, their value means nothing. Remember, this time we will get... a live Joker.”

The military base quieted down as Qing Chen bent down to dismantle a robot, taking its nuclear-powered Mechanical Heart in hand.

He Jinqiu looked at him, puzzled, ”What are you doing?”

Qing Chen smiled, ”This little gadget is worth more than a billion. Wouldn’t it be nice to take some souvenirs?”

”Are you also planning to take a nuclear warhead?” He Jinqiu asked.

”Not impossible... if the opportunity arises.”

The two rushed into the building while the military base was still unresponsive, but its huge defense system couldn’t even stop two individuals!

Defense systems worth hundreds of billions were simply vulnerable in the face of Qing Chen and He Jinqiu.

The duo fought their way from the surface to the underground, and where Qing Chen passed, the electronic components of devices were all burned by the electromagnetic pulse.

Monitors, drones, robots; all technology trusted by humans became ineffective.

As they were about to enter the core of the base, Qing Chen suddenly heard the roars of beasts.

Behind them was an elevator, and ahead lay a long corridor.

At the end of the tech-filled corridor, four beast soldiers suddenly darted forward, with long tusks in their mouths and bodies covered with fur, running on all fours, unrecognizable as humans.

Behind them, a Drama Master slowly approached.

He Jinqiu wielded the Jade Heart Sword, shooting fiercely through the narrow corridor, its sharp tip precisely penetrating the eyes of the orc warriors and emerging from the back of their heads.

In an instant, all four orc warriors fell dead.

The Jade Heart Sword continued its trajectory, seemingly to kill the Drama Master in the narrow corridor.

But only then did they comprehend the Drama Master’s combat power.

The Drama Master closed his eyes, wielding a red long sword, seemingly foresighted as he fiercely slashed through the air.

The sound of dinging filled the air with each strike landing on the Jade Heart Sword.

One Jade Heart Sword pierced through the Drama Master’s shoulder since the corridor was too narrow for much movement.

Yet, despite being injured, the Drama Master’s rhythm remained unfaltering.

A crisp snapping sound echoed in the corridor as two of He Jinqiu’s Jade Heart Swords showed cracks!

That Red Long Sword... was an indestructible Taboo!

While controlling the Jade Heart Sword, He Jinqiu said to Qing Chen, ”The armory should be below. I’ll hold him off here, go down the elevator shaft and destroy the nuclear warheads first.”

Qing Chen paused for two seconds, ”Alright.”

He then pressed the elevator button and entered.

As the elevator doors closed, He Jinqiu suddenly turned to Qing Chen, ”You...”

Qing Chen curiously asked, ”What’s wrong?”

He Jinqiu paused for two seconds, ”Nothing, go ahead, don’t worry about me.”

Their gazes met, neither understanding the meaning in the other’s eyes.

With a bang, the elevator closed.

At the moment the elevator closed, He Jinqiu and the Drama Master’s combat abruptly halted.

It was like a movie being paused suddenly.

He Jinqiu glanced back at the elevator; the Drama Master smiled and approached slowly: ”The Taboo ’Confining Elevator’, once inside, don’t dream of coming out. It can contain all Transcendents, and even several Demigods. The Duke of Green Forest was once trapped in here and killed accidentally. Thus, even Joker with a Key of Gate cannot escape.”

He Jinqiu stayed silent.

Today’s entire performance was actually to trap Qing Chen in this Confining Elevator, preventing him from escaping with the Key of Gate.

The Drama Master gave him a glance, ”I understand; doing this for the first time is not easy. But you must realize there’s nothing more important than your own life. You can go find the Black Knight for the trade; I will inform them Joker has been captured. Also, the transaction between the Royal Family and the Black Knight has completed, handing over the Taboo Poison Cup to us in exchange for the Confining Elevator.”

He Jinqiu looked at the Drama Master and asked, ”Should we dismantle the elevator?”

”Certainly,” the Drama Master smiled, ”You’re no longer needed; head to Central Royal City, there’s someone waiting for you.”

He Jinqiu nodded, taking a photo from his pocket, revealing a street in Central Royal City.

The Taboo Instant Camera, a reward obtained after killing the Future Organization’s ’W’; simply taking a photo of a location and tearing it allows for teleportation.

This is a rare teleportation Taboo.

Looking back at the elevator once more, He Jinqiu tore the photo.

Inside the Confining Elevator, Qing Chen leaned against the metal wall, lost in thought, but showed no tension or betrayal-induced anger.
