“The Ultra Rapid Regeneration of the Headless Horseman is too powerful.” Midnight swallowed a few times. When Zhao Yao was hiding his true prowess during the fight and he had the upper hand with one sword and a knife, Midnight felt he had a chance to win.
Now Zhao Yao had cast away the airs of an idol and was fully committed to fighting, Midnight saw no chance of winning at all.
As Midnight was about to retreat, Zhao Yao prepared to leave after he finished saying, “Just you wait!”
Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze ran into the Dimension Portal, which was like a weapon armory. He could obtain various kind of supercats at any time and any location.
This time, Zhao Yao took out Catherine the Ragdoll cat.
After dispelling Time Freeze, he lifted Catherine and shouted, “Coward, I am talking to you. Will you dare look at my cat?”
Midnight looked at Catherine almost subconsciously as it is human nature to look over when being called. After looking at Catherine he immediately reacted. This was definitely a trap.
Before he could turn his head or close his eyes, he fell asleep instantly. He was unable to sustain his ability and his form appeared. He collapsed on the ground with a loud bang.
Even Lang Gou subconsciously turned his head. He fainted and went into a deep sleep.
All the men deployed by the King of Death had been completely defeated by Zhao Yao. He looked at his three prisoners on the ground and captured them using the Extradimensional Belly. He intended to interrogate them properly.
Elizabeth and Diana took turns activating their abilities, ensuring that the three prisoners had no abilities after sleeping for 24 hours. Then Zhao Yao could start his interrogation without any worries.
Things related to the King of Death were of utmost importance so Zhao Yao would not let Old Cat intervene. It was not easy to figure out what a cat was thinking, especially a Chuan Xiao warrior like Old Cat. Zhao Yao could not depend on Old Cat for important issues. He restricted himself to only using Old Cat’s brainwashing ability when he wanted to conveniently tie up loose ends.
After sending the three of them into the Extradimensional Belly, Zhao Yao disguised himself as the Headless Horseman again and searched the entire factory.
First, he found a large number of raw materials, tools, and samples of poisonous catmint. He decisively destroyed them with fire.
After searching for some time, Zhao Yao found another person who looked familiar.
…
In the basement, Black Panther was tied to a chair and a computer screen was placed in front of him. An old fellow on the screen laughed and said, “Black Panther, we’ve been chatting cordially for the past few days. We have confirmed on our side that you are not the Headless Horseman. I’m very sorry that my men captured the wrong person.”
“No problem, no problem.” Black Panther looked at the avatar of the King of Death on the screen and said, “It is good that you have gotten the facts right. I find you quite familiar and you don’t look like a bad person. Do not capture the wrong person again though. It is fortunate that you met me because if you encounter my headless mentor it will be disastrous.”
King of Death smiled wryly and said, “Yes, it has been hard on you for the past few days. Someone will rescue very soon.”
“Ah? Really?” Black Panther looked at the avatar of King of Death on the screen and said, “Will we meet again? Aren’t we already good friends?”
King of Death smiled as he shook his head. “You treated me like a friend? You… aren’t afraid of me?”
“You are so old… what is there to fear?” Black Panther looked at the aged figure of King of Death and said matter-of-factly, “You are already quite old. Why are you still messing around with secret societies fighting and killing? Do secret societies have old age insurance? In the future, if you are attacked, it will not be considered a work injury. The medical fees may not be affordable. It is better to retire early.”
The King of Death grinned helplessly. He knew Black Panther was not very bright and that he would not be able to reason with him. So he gave a perfunctory reply, “If I retire, my enemies will find me for revenge.”
“I can shield you.” Black Panther said, “From now on, we are brothers. In the future, if you have any issues, I will shield you.”
King of Death laughed heartily as though he had just heard a joke. Then he shook his head and said, “Okay, we are brothers from now on.”
At that time, Zhao Yao opened the basement door. He walked in and stopped for a while after seeing Black Panther. He touched his kidney subconsciously and asked warily, “Black Panther? Why are you here?”
“Headless mentor!” Black Panther looked at Zhao Yao as the Headless Horseman and shouted, “Why are you here? Are you rescuing me?”
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and intended to turn around and leave. Meanwhile, Black Panther was touched and said, “Headless mentor, I know that you have not forgotten me and you came here especially to rescue me…”
Zhao Yao looked at the old person on the screen and asked, “Who are you?”
“Headless Horseman, or should I say, Zhao…”
Once King of Death spoke, Zhao Yao’s thoughts flashed and Black Panther fell into darkness as he was deprived of his five senses and could not hear their conversation.
“Greetings Zhao Yao, I am the King of Death.” King of Death said, “Since you are here, this means that Midnight and rest have been defeated?”
Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and thought, “The three apostles were able to directly identify me during the fight. Have they already reported my identity to King of Death?”
The two men gazed at each other via the computer screen, scrambling for thoughts.
The King of Death thought, “According to the photographs sent from the monitoring console, Zhao Yao’s abilities are terrifying. Even if I have all my apostles here, it will still be a suicide mission. I have to free more supercats to gain more combat prowess before I can defeat him.”
The King of Death had captured numerous apostles and supercats. For example, Doll was a highly threatening supercat and she had the capability to create robots.
As for apostles like Midnight, Old K, and Lang Gou, their lending of abilities was very limited.
Once King of Death liberated supercats and lent numerous dangerous abilities to apostles, then his power would expand rapidly and would be harder to control.
Facing a threat like Zhao Yao, King of Death could not afford to consider too much. Lending much more powerful abilities to apostles and discovering more supercats was his plan of action.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was frantically thinking things through. “My only effective attack against the King of Death is the Sixth Sense power of illusion. Based on its previous effects, if I use the Great Flow of Idleness, the King of Death may perish and the tens of thousands of people under his control will also die. In this case, before I have a better solution, I will not make any moves against him.
The previous time Zhao Yao had activated the Sixth Sense power of illusion against the King of Death, everything had gotten out of hand and hit the news, which had scared Zhao Yao. Hence, he could not afford to use the Sixth Sense power of illusion against the King of Death rashly.
Although the Old Cat could be used to counter King of Death, however, Old Cat was born in Chuan Xiao and was an out-and-out rebel. Zhao Yao was wary of Old Cat and would not let him intervene.
Zhao Yao thought, “In this case, only…”
The King of Death thought, “The only battle plan is…”
Both of them thought, “Rest for a while.”
