Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 639 - 490: The Inevitable Battle Part 2

Other departments, aside from the offices of higher-level leaders, usually didn't have access control systems. However, the Independent Action Brigade was different; they had a specialized "recognition system" specifically for members of the Special Operations Brigade. As soon as Chen Gu and his team arrived, the two large doors automatically closed!

This time, Chen Gu didn't hold back and nearly smashed the doors to pieces.

The banging sounds were a clear indication of hostility. Gao Deng quickly came out with his people. Chen Gu got straight to the point, "Give us back the case!"

Gao Deng knew exactly which case he was referring to and said coldly, "No."

Chen Gu decisively beckoned with his finger. "Let's settle this between the two of us. Whoever wins gets the case."

Gao Deng didn't speak. Chen Gu continued, "Come on, I know you've been looking forward to fighting me. I'm personally delivering this opportunity to you. Are you going to back down now?"

Gao Deng remained cold, "Fine!"

「...」

Nearly a hundred people had gathered inside the Number Nine Forging Field—representatives sent by various departments after numerous "competitions."

It was still working hours, after all, so it was impossible for everyone to abandon their work and come to watch the show.

Most of these people normally did not have the authority to enter the Number Nine Forging Field, but this time, Deputy Director Rainbow had granted permission.

They craned their necks, eagerly anticipating, "Where are they? Why haven't they come yet..."

Finally, the doors to the Number Nine Forging Field opened again, and a large group of people poured in, with Chen Gu and Gao Deng at the forefront, followed by other members of their respective teams.

The moment they appeared, the venue erupted into cheers, most of which were in support of Chen Gu. Gao Deng remained unmoved, simply looking at Chen Gu and saying indifferently, "Let's not waste time. After dealing with you, I still have a case to work on."

Chen Gu didn't say a word but made a gesture with his hand. Both men walked into the field as a thick energy shield rose around them.

Rainbow and Qing Ruyan were sitting in an inconspicuous corner. Rainbow took out a small bottle of strawberry-flavored yogurt from his pocket and sipped it slowly, appearing to casually ask Qing Ruyan, "Do you think Chen Gu can win?"

Qing Ruyan was conflicted. "To be honest, I think it's difficult. The difference in Energy Levels is too great. But from what I know about Chen Gu, if he didn't have confidence, he probably wouldn't be so impulsive... I can't think of any way for him to win, unless... he obtained some powerful numbered artifact?"

Rainbow smiled and said nothing, contentedly sipping his yogurt.

Inside the energy shield, a massive explosion sounded unexpectedly. A great blast erupted under Chen Gu's feet, sending him flying and slamming him hard against the energy shield, causing web-like ripples of energy.

"Ah—" There were exclamations from the audience.

Chen Gu slid down the energy shield, looking somewhat disheveled, while Gao Deng stood straight and tall, and no one had even seen how he made his move.

He merely turned his body slightly to face Chen Gu again. "I know you have fought shoulder to shoulder with many Alchemical Adepts before—I study all intelligence thoroughly before a battle—but the Seventh Energy Level is different from you. With just a thought, within my range of abilities, I can create various objects at will. For instance, right now, I'm creating a blade inside your body."

Chen Gu felt a stabbing pain in his chest!

Indeed more difficult to deal with than I expected, Chen Gu thought, but he refused to simply wait for defeat. His "Doomsday Shelter" activated, spreading out to a ten-meter radius around him.

Gao Deng nodded in acknowledgment. "You've got some skills, but it's useless."

The "Doomsday Shelter," activated at that moment, generated a "seclusion effect," preventing Gao Deng from freely using his abilities within Chen Gu's ten-meter radius, and the sharp pain in Chen Gu's chest gradually faded.

But Gao Deng opened his arms, and one by one, missiles appeared behind him, neatly arranged in a formation. With a push from Gao Deng, the missiles rained down on Chen Gu like a deluge!

Chen Gu looked up, and his "Nuclear Fusion Beam Eyes" activated. All the missiles within his line of sight exploded prematurely.

Yet, unbeknownst to him, two chains, like lurking serpents, slithered across the ground, snapping around his ankles.

Chen Gu, not the least bit perturbed, triggered "Radiation Scouring." The chains around his ankles quickly heated up and glowed red from the radiation, allowing Chen Gu to easily break free.

In Gao Deng's hands, an electromagnetic anti-material sniper rifle had appeared.

THUD!

A gunshot rang out, and the special electromagnetic armor-piercing bullet he created easily penetrated "Doomsday Shelter," leaving a transparent, bloody hole in Chen Gu's left shoulder!

Qing Ruyan could no longer bear to watch, but Rainbow narrowed his eyes, taking sips of yogurt, looking quite amused.

Staggered by the shot, Chen Gu stepped back a few paces, but he did not abandon "Doomsday Shelter." Gao Deng quickly created a second electromagnetic armor-piercing bullet and swiftly pulled the trigger.

BANG!

But there was no gunshot—instead, the electromagnetic anti-material sniper rifle exploded.

In that split second, Chen Gu had used "Quantum Teleportation" to send the first bullet back into the chamber.

The enormous force of the explosion mangled both of Gao Deng's hands, and shrapnel embedded itself in his body.

Yet Gao Deng seemed unconcerned, casually pulling the pieces out, and his wounds quickly stopped bleeding.
