STARTING FROM THE PLANETARY GOVERNOR

Chapter 827: Chapter 452, So You’ve Joined Them Too Chapter 827: Chapter 452, So You’ve Joined Them Too When Zhong Jihua saw Matins and the group of Phoenix warriors burst in, his heart sank to rock bottom.

But he still tried to appear fearless, “Matins, my brother…”

“Shut up, you traitor!”

Matins, full of rage, entered the room. Accompanying him were dozens of Phoenix warriors who had already engaged the Ashen Dead.

Yet, no one bothered Zhong Jihua.

Before entering, the Battle Group Leader had made it clear that this was his opponent.

He wanted to personally slaughter this traitor.

“Don’t be so serious…”

Zhong Jihua spread his hands, trying to say something more, but in the next moment took the opportunity, while speaking, to swiftly pull out his Bombardment Gun and shoot at Matins.

His series of actions was incredibly quick, as if honed through relentless practice.

But Matins was obviously on guard.

“Ugly tricks!” he sarcastically uttered as he blocked the bomb with his hardest shoulder armor. However, at the same time, Zhong Jihua’s demonic sword had already chopped towards him.

The demonic sword in his hands was the Fine Work Dynamo Sword he had worn in the Battle Group in the past, now even more sinister with the infusion of the Evil God’s Power, carrying a foreboding blood hue. With a fierce strike of the demonic sword, he tried to dominate Matins with his wild onslaught right at the start of the fight.

The two giants clad in Terminator Power Armor engaged in a fight to the death!

Matins struggled to block, but in the melee of swordsmanship, he clearly fell into a disadvantage.

“You were never my match before, and this time is no exception!” Zhong Jihua sneered.

What he said was the truth.

Zhong Jihua and he were from the same batch that entered the Phoenix.

During their rookie period, both had shown exceptional potential and were once simultaneously hailed as the next hope of the Battle Group.

And they both lived up to expectations.

However, there was still a noticeable difference in their abilities. Matins had more leadership and command talent, while Zhong Jihua excelled in swordsmanship, shooting, and physical gifts.

This naturally led to different developmental paths, and logically, Matins became a Company Commander at a relatively young age for an Interstellar Warrior. At the same time, Zhong Jihua, although titled the Champion Swordsman of the Battle Group, had a different role than a Company Commander.

But this did not affect the deep brotherhood between them—at least that’s what Matins thought.

During the Crusade of Atonement, when he heard that an entire company led by Zhong Jihua had gone missing and was destroyed, he was heartbroken.

And at that time he was so heartbroken, but when he found out that Zhong Jihua had become a traitor, he was filled with sadness and anger!

Had it only been like Blaywins, abandoning their posts, it would have been forgivable, but they were in batches! Organized! Rebels!

If those two hundred or so Phoenix Veterans had not defected, could the final battle of the Phoenix have been different? Could doubling the number of veteran Phoenix have brought more survivors back, making it less arduous to rebuild?

He truly hated Zhong Jihua!

Yet, hate as he might, one thing remained unchanged—after all these years, he still couldn’t defeat Zhong Jihua.

Over the years, his skill level had indeed improved, even becoming more adept at using the Terminator Power Armor.

However, Zhong Jihua’s level was still above his.

The progress Matins made over these years couldn’t compare to the Blood God’s Evil power that Zhong Jihua had received. This malevolent power further enhanced his blood and flesh power, significantly strengthening his physique, making his slashes even more formidable and forceful.

Linking several swords, each time Matins’ body swayed more than Zhong Jihua’s, each time it was a very reactive defense, accumulating, the disadvantage was quickly turning into a rout.

On the contrary, Zhong Jihua cut more and more excitedly.

Defeat was imminent, and Matins sighed in his heart.

With one more strike, the end from Zhong Jihua was coming, Matins struggled into an upward sword block, but it was clearly not enough.

Yet, at that moment, a burst of lightning erupted from his body.

The explosive barbaric force repelled Zhong Jihua’s demon sword directly.

The leader of the Ashen dead cautiously stepped back several paces, looking at Matins with surprise and doubt.

Was this his power?

No, it wasn’t.

Matins had been able to release this special energy long ago; if he had done so earlier, he wouldn’t have suffered so horrendously.

Nevertheless, he waited until this moment to use this power.

Zhong Jihua discerned for a moment, then mockingly said, “You still call me a traitor? Just look at yourself now!”

“I wondered where those indestructible little blue men came from, so you’ve sided with them too…”

“Shut up, meet your death!”

Matins, with a bolt of lightning in his sword, forced Zhong Jihua’s words back.

Although Zhong Jihua didn’t finish speaking and had to fully focus on the greatly empowered heavy sword after the lightning surge, the mockery in his eyes only grew richer.

Taking advantage of a pause, he was about to add, “How does it feel to side with a Subspace Powerhouse? Isn’t it much cooler than believing in that fake Emperor full of lies?”

“Shameless rebel, don’t compare me with you!”

“Ha ha ha! Be honest for once, Matins!”

Although laughing, the heart of today’s Zhong Jihua was entirely cold.

Feeling the numbness in his arms, sensing that the Blood God’s Power was dissipating with every clash, he knew the tide had turned against him.

Now, he was resorting to verbal advantage, as there was nothing else left to leverage. If he couldn’t gain an advantage verbally, what else could he do?

He didn’t dare hope that Matins would spare his life.

That was impossible.

Eventually, in a fierce counterattack, Matins’s Powered Sword, still crackling with lightning, pierced through Zhong Jihua’s armor and into his heart.

Zhong Jihua struggled in extreme pain, but in an instant, the lightning destroyed his heart, leaving his body weak.

Matins quickly withdrew the sword, then stabbed again, piercing the second heart.

Blood spilled from Zhong Jihua’s mouth, he murmured weakly:

“Don’t trust the entities of Subspace too much; none of them bear good intentions…”

“I told you, don’t compare me with you.”

“Is that so? Then, I’ll wait for you in hell…”

Before he could finish, Matins pulled out the Powered Sword and with one sweeping strike, decapitated Zhong Jihua.

The headless body fell onto the cold metal floor.

Matins stood beside the body of Zhong Jihua and took a deep breath.

His gaze then shifted to the others still engaged in the battle.

Lifting his Powered Sword, still ablaze with lingering lightning, Matins charged at the remaining Ashen dead.
