Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 104

"You mean, that Gu Nan ran to the adoption center just to adopt an orphan?" The blue-haired girl looked at Lu Danze with suspicious eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Based on the intelligence they gathered, Gu Nan was clearly a vicious and merciless murderer who killed without blinking an eye, yet he actually ran here to adopt an orphan?

Even when the other party appeared right in front of her eyes, the blue-haired girl still didn't believe it.

If she wasn't already aware of the grudge between Lu Danze and Gu Nan, she would even suspect that he colluded with Gu Nan to set a trap for her team.

"That's definitely him!" Lu Danze said eagerly, "Gu Yang told me the news. This is the best chance we'll get in a while. Who knows how long we'll have to wait if we miss this opportunity!"

The girl furrowed her brows. Finally, she raised her hand to press an insignia on her chest.

At the same time, the corresponding insignias on the chests of the six people near the adoption center all lit up—this was their team's unique communication method.

The meaning was… 'Attack.'

Inside the adoption center, Ms. Zhang, the director, smiled bitterly as she reluctantly handed over a contract to Gu Nan, still trying to persuade him.

"Mr. Gu, according to the regulations, your age doesn't meet the requirements to adopt someone…"

"Talk to Old Wang if you have a problem." Gu Nan grabbed the contract, signed his name at lightning speed, and asked casually, "I can take her away now, right?"

Ms. Zhang looked at Lin Yunyun. The 13-year-old girl had an icy expression, but upon careful inspection, there was some hatred in the depths of her eyes.

In just a few short days, she had experienced all the misfortunes she could think of.

Her father and older sister had an accident and died before they could even be sent to the hospital. Her real age was exposed, and her Martial Arts Competition championship was revoked, so of course she wouldn't get the bonus money.

To make things worse, the rumors that she took drugs made Lin Yunyun fall from a high-profile young genius to a street rat despised by everyone almost overnight.

Then she was immediately sent to the adoption center because of her age, and this man who wanted to adopt her quickly appeared.

Lin Yunyun wasn't stupid. Of course she knew who had the power to make this series of events possible.

Ms. Zhang could only sigh in her heart as she stared at Lin Yunyun. She didn't know what exactly had happened, but she'd nevertheless heard of these young masters' styles.

'He's clearly a youth himself, yet he ran here to adopt a little girl… Isn't his intention obvious?'

But in the end, he was still the young master of the Gu family. Ms. Zhang could only force back her disgust and finish up the adoption formalities for Gu Nan.

On the grass outside the adoption center, a dozen children were running around and playing, with occasional bursts of laughter.

The blue-haired girl pushed Lu Danze's wheelchair as they slowly made their way over. She smiled at the children. "Children, this place will be dangerous soon. Everyone, be good and go back!"

As she spoke, a gentle force had wrapped around the boys and girls, lifting them up and placing them back inside the building.

After dealing with the children in the adoption center, she looked at Lu Danze. "I can't guarantee your safety when we're trying to kill a Domain Stage expert. Are you sure you want to watch?"

"Yes." Contrary to expectations, Lu Danze was calmer now. He said in a firm tone, "My life has already been crippled. Why would I fear death? Right now, I just want to see what will happen to Gu Nan!"

Perhaps because she was touched by Lu Danze's emotions, the girl named Lan Bing was silent for a while.

Then she nodded her head solemnly. "Rest assured. Karmic retribution won't be lenient. Gu Nan has committed many atrocities. Even without us, he'll die a violent death sooner or later."

Lan Bing continued, "But if everything goes according to plan, he will continuously be caught up in fatal attacks, all the way until he dies completely… He's here!"

As Lan Bing's voice fell, the door was indeed pushed open. Gu Nan held Lin Yunyun's small hand and walked slowly out of the adoption center.

"Why are you guys doing this?" Lin Yunyun asked with her head lowered. Bone-cutting indifference could be heard from her voice.

Gu Nan shrugged and answered, "Gu Nian told me to do it… She's the person who slept with you that night. Do you remember her?"

Gu Nan's expression didn't even change as he casually threw all the blame onto Gu Nian. Lin Yunyun was clearly the key figure in this event. He might even need her cooperation later on, so it was better to not draw her hatred for the time being.

Lin Yunyun's face darkened a little upon hearing this, then she nodded hard.

She never doubted Gu Nan's words. No matter how she thought about it, Gu Nan had no incentive to treat her like this. On the contrary, that night…

It was more likely that a powerful figure like Gu Nian took a fancy to her and wanted Lin Yunyun to become her exclusive property.

The two walked for a while. Even when they were about to exit the adoption center, the Evil God Temple in Gu Nan's head still didn't issue an event completion notice, which confused him a little.

The "adoption" event wasn't difficult. Normally, this event should've been judged as completed by now.

'Could it be…'

Before he could finish that thought, a dark shadow flew in front of him. It was a delicate and small golden dart aimed straight at his heart.

Its speed was unimaginable. Even Gu Nan couldn't respond in time, taking a direct hit.

Lan Bing sneered, "Fourth Brother's innate ability—Sure Hit. As long as the level of the enemy's innate ability doesn't exceed his by a large margin, the enemy won't be able to dodge at all."

Gu Nan, who was like an invincible God of War back then, had now taken a direct hit as soon as the fight started. Lu Danze's eyes brightened, as though he finally saw hope.

But he was still a little puzzled. "Isn't he at Domain Stage? Why hasn't the dart been blocked by his domain?"

“You don't understand.” Lan Bing explained, “We're hunted at least five Domain Stage experts… Using a domain's power places a great strain on martial artists. How can they constantly keep it activated?"

"So that's it!" Lu Danze couldn't help looking excited.

"It's not just that." Lan Bing added, "Fourth Brother's darts have paralytic toxins. Even Prodigious Realm beasts will be parallyzed for a moment… It's even possible to capture him alive now.”

While saying that, she shook her head slightly.

As the brains of the team, she also prepared many contingency plans for this enemy, but who would've imagined that Gu Nan would be so useless and be captured with a single dart from Fourth Brother?

In the end, Gu Nan was still someone who came from a backwater place like Ruby Fish Star. His horizons couldn't compare with that of her experienced and knowledgeable team.

At the same time that the dart hit Gu Nan, a figure also arrived swiftly in front of him. It was the fourth member of the Seven Stars Team—a young man in casual clothes but wearing a strange crown. His appearance looked extremely mismatched.

He stood in front of Gu Nan and looked at the dart, which had sunk three inches into Gu Nan's chest. He couldn't help sneering, "Someone like you attacked Teacher Zhou? Today, I'll make you… Eh?"

Fourth Brother suddenly stopped mid-sentence, starting at the front with widened eyes.

He saw Gu Nan slowly raise a hand and pull out the dart from his chest, casually tossing it to the ground.

Then, under Fourth Brother's dumbfounded gaze, the wound quickly healed, and even the dark golden toxin was quickly expelled, slowly flowing down Gu Nan's robe.

Hr raised his head with difficulty and saw a grim smile slowly appear on Gu Nan's formerly expressionless face.
