Chapter 174 The storm is coming, prepare for a showdown
When he heard that several demon gods were working for Lin Xiao, Asmodeus showed an expression of disbelief.
Asmodeus: "Then, do I also have to work?"
Lin Xiao: "It's not mandatory, but I hope you can volunteer."
Asmodeus: "..."
This is what compulsion means!
In the Middle Ages, there were indeed humans who could drive demons.
But this was the first time Asmodeus saw a human who drove a demon, and his world view was refreshed again.
Considering that this human being is the messenger of the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation', his status is no less than that of Lucifer, the Son of the Dawn.
Asmodeus still accepted the fate of working.
After all, even Apollo and Poseidon, the gods of Chaos, worked for the Trojans and helped build the city of Troy under the punishment of Zeus.
With the [Black Dragon Contract], in theory, you can work for the black dragon, the ‘Lord of Destruction’… It’s not shabby!
"Well...I think about what I can do..."
Asmodeus tilted his head and thought, and said:
"I can use the power of lust to help your winery attract customers!"
Indeed, the power of lust is great for attracting fans and promoting online.
When it comes to this world, which industry has the largest traffic is undoubtedly the virtual world.
Lin Xiao: "I have a suggestion, you can try to debut and become a virtual idol."
After Lin Xiao’s explanation, Asmodeus seemed to understand the ‘virtual idol’, so he nodded and said:
"In short, it means being popular, right? I'm good at this!"
The more popular Asmodeus is, the faster her "power of lust" will recover. Therefore, she is personally looking forward to the new career of 'idol'.
The new job of the Demon God of Lust has been finalized.
Asmodeus’s stage name is ‘Anmeng’, and her avatar is based on herself, with the accessories being the mechanical dragon ‘Sarah’.
Because 'Anmeng' has her own mind manipulation and illusion creation... the special effects, equipment, and technical skills are simply top-notch. Moreover, everything she says and does has a charming temperament, which can be effective even across the Internet.
Therefore, the Demon God of Lust is bound to become the top among virtual idols.
Lin Xiao felt complicated.
Having said that... the devil has become an idol, which can be considered a dimensionality reduction blow.
In fact, gaining the original power of the Demon God is not depriving the Demon God of his power, but more like sharing authority with the Demon God.
Therefore, Asmodeus's "power of lust" has been improved, which will also help Lin Xiao's overall strength.
The interlude came to an end, and Asmodeus checked into the winery and asked the other three demons to play mahjong with her.
In hell, she was the best gambling demon. Theoretically, her gambling skills were very good, but she would always lose to the greedy demon Mammon.
Beelzebub was holding a small plate of cream cake and was busy tasting sweets, with disdain on his pretty face:
"Kid, don't bother me."
Lucifer said calmly: "I don't like gambling. Just gamble with Samael."
Asmodeus turned to look at the viper, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Uncle Samael..."
Samael's face turned blue and he sighed: "Okay, let's just bet. I'm going to make wine later."
After the episode, Lin Xiao prepared to return to Star Map City.
Lucifer calmly called Lin Xiao: "You seem to be encountering an uninvited guest on the road. Be careful."
The spiritual power of the Arrogant Demon can cover dozens of kilometers in radius.
Although Lin Xiao shares authority with Lucifer, she is not yet as able as him.
"Uninvited guest..." Lin Xiao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Thank you, I will pay attention."
The silver-haired demon stopped talking and patiently tasted the fine wine.
He and Lin Xiao only cooperated temporarily.
If Lin Xiao is defeated by the devil or other humans, the contract will automatically expire and he can just leave.
Lucifer didn't know why he wanted to remind him verbally. This obviously went against his arrogance.
After thinking carefully, Lucifer believed that the wine prepared by Lin Xiao was indeed extraordinary, so he did not want to see him attacked under his nose.
After leaving the winery, Lin Xiao drove his motorcycle and sped along the road he came from.
The eastern part of the Federation is dominated by coastal plains and foothills with undulating terrain. The route back to Star Map City takes nearly two hours, passing through plains, swamps and a small waterfall.
The weather was sunny, with high and distant white clouds floating in the sky. The wind, humidity and visibility were all good.
Five kilometers away, in the weeds at the foot of the mountain.
A man wearing a camouflage combat uniform was lying on the ground, holding an optical telescope, and his eyes followed the speeding motorcycle.
The man's name is "Viper" and he graduated from the Federal Army Academy. At the age of 21, he ignited a fire during a difficult sniper activity and achieved an ultra-long-range sniper kill record of 3,200 meters.
After that operation, Viper was recruited by Roman and became a royal sniper. He fought hard on the battlefield and became one of the top snipers in the world at the age of only 30.
Cold-blooded, efficient, rational, and as still as a corpse...these labels are how his comrades evaluated him.
But Viper's philosophy is extremely pure. He just enjoys sniper hits from ultra-long distances, the kind of perfect moment that can make obsessive-compulsive patients feel relaxed physically and mentally.
As a card master, Viper has a peak level of sixth level, but has an impressive record of sniping down seventh level card masters.
In this operation, he was assigned to investigate the true identity of the epee man.
When necessary, you can directly snipe the operator named "Lin Xiao" without having to apply to Roman for permission to shoot.
A centipede crawled across the viper's waist and abdomen. The man was as still as a corpse, with cold blue eyes and licked his chapped lips.
"Mr. Roman, I suspect that the operator named Lin Xiao is the epee man."
Viper doubted in his heart: "But, he is so young and can be easily killed by me... Is he really the hero who executes the Demon God of Gluttony?"
Facing a high-speed moving motorcycle and an ultra-limited distance of five kilometers away, no sniper would have the confidence to hit it.
But the Viper is different.
A cluster of energy ignited in his palm, condensing the card, and then a black anti-material sniper rifle appeared.
The bracket deflected as the motorcycle moved, and the young operator appeared in the optical sight. The black barrel of the large-caliber gun seemed to be able to snipe giants.
The so-called anti-materiel sniper rifles generally use large-caliber and highly destructive bullets, which have an extremely long effective range and can engage targets such as armored vehicles, aircraft, and fortification bunkers.
The anti-material sniper rifle blessed by the source of force can easily penetrate the card master's source of force barrier, and its accuracy and power have been improved.
Viper's ace card has a great background, the sixth-level peak epic equipment card, "White Death".
The most famous sniper in history, Simon Haye, was nicknamed the White Death.
The Viper lay on the ground and aimed the optical sight of the "White Death" at the motorcyclist's fragile neck.
However, what surprised Viper was that the motorcyclist seemed to be aware of his presence, braked to the side and looked around.
A chill passed through Viper's heart.
Was he discovered?
If he can be discovered at the extreme distance of five kilometers, then the true strength of 'Lin Xiao' is by no means only level six!
It is a high-threat target.
Viper was afraid, so he decisively gave up the operation and prepared to go back and report.
However, his body suddenly stiffened.
From the perspective of the optical sight, the young man slowly turned his gaze in his direction, showing a smile, and a strange luster bloomed in his eyes.
Oops!
Location exposed!
Viper is incredible.
This is an extremely long distance of five kilometers! Unless he was looking for my location from the beginning...otherwise, how could he find my hiding place?
Although I didn't know his abilities, the moment I saw his eyes, the situation took a turn for the worse!
The status of hunter and prey seemed to be reversed. The viper kept a cold face and opened fire instantly.
Now that it has been exposed, this blow is not intended to hit, but to evacuate!
Bang!!
With the deafening sound of gunfire, large-caliber bullets swept through the smoke, locked onto the enemy's position, and flew through the air at high speed.
But five kilometers is too far.
The figure in the sight had disappeared, the Viper was stiff and motionless, and the hairs on its back stood up.
He raised his head from the scope, and with his extraordinary vision, he saw the roaring black motorcycle speeding towards this direction at an alarming speed.
Facing this high-speed steel beast, I had no chance to evacuate!
But the more exposed the dangerous moment is, the more fatal the sniper's strike will be!
The bullet that was shot just now circled in the air in a strange arc, flying toward the motorcyclist's back at a speed exceeding the speed of the car!
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Viper's mouth.
Human beings don’t have eyes on their backs...
Bang!!
Bright red blood spattered everywhere, and the motorcyclist was shot in the back. He fell from the car and rolled several times in embarrassment. The out-of-control motorcycle crashed into the bushes, neighing like a wild horse.
There is neither sadness nor joy on the viper's face.
In fact, I have no enmity with the mission target, and Mr. Roman did not force me to kill him.
But as the world's top sniper, once a bullet is fired, there are only two consequences: the enemy will die or we will die.
He looked at the young man's body in the distance and sighed in his heart.
Regardless of whether you are a heavy swordsman or not...I will find your body and bury you.
At this time, Viper felt his shoulder being poked.
Viper: "!!?"
His pupils quickly shrunk to a point, and for the first time, panic appeared on his indifferent face.
How is that possible?!
Someone can approach me silently?
If I were on the battlefield, I would have died thousands of times!
Viper's face was ashen, he turned his head quickly, and was stunned on the spot, with an unbelievable look on his face.
"You..." Viper's voice was hoarse and speechless.
The young man who was sniped by him just now is actually standing in front of him in good condition!
"It's just a little trick." Lin Xiao said calmly.
Ever since Lucifer reminded him, he has been using his mental power to search for the sniper's location.
Although he cannot be nearly omniscient and omnipotent within a certain range like Lucifer, he can still find clues.
By determining the location, Lin Xiao's "Demon Eye of Lust" stared at the enemy, and then successfully created an illusion.
While Viper was fighting wits with Hallucination, Lin Xiao had already approached the sniper from behind, and all he needed to do was cut his throat with a knife.
"Tell me, who sent you here." Lin Xiao said.
Viper's face changed slightly, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
This young man exudes an extremely strong aura of oppression.
Even though I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, I have rarely encountered anyone who feels as oppressive as he does.
Viper knew very well that since the other party could get close to him without his knowledge, it would undoubtedly be an extremely stupid decision to resist.
Raising its cold blue eyes, Viper looked at Lin Xiao and spit out the name that Lin Xiao had expected:
"Roman Ulysses."
"Roman?"
Lin Xiao crossed his arms and said, "Why didn't he come in person?"
What made Lin Xiao a little bit sad was that even when faced with the killer sent by Roman, he didn't feel any panic or anger at all.
Lin Xiao thought to herself... Perhaps, as my strength becomes stronger, I also become more arrogant, and my mood will no longer have major ups and downs.
Regardless of good or bad, Lin Xiao felt quite calm inside. He could even have a calm conversation with the killer.
Viper observed Lin Xiao's face and said cautiously:
"To be precise...this is not a sniper mission, but a failed intelligence reconnaissance mission, Mr. Heavy Swordman"
Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.
His words revealed two pieces of information.
Roman guessed or already knew that I was the epee man, and could not tolerate my continued actions.
Secondly, Roman's actions against me will change from the dark side to the bright side. After the failure of the intelligence mission, a real killer may be sent in the future.
I already have plans to disclose my identity.
Now that we are about to leave the Federation, it is indeed time for a showdown.
"Go back and tell Mr. Roman."
Lin Xiao said: "I am a heavy swordsman."
Viper was slightly startled, incredulous.
How could the legendary heavy swordsman be so young!?
The next moment, he was stunned again, looked at Lin Xiao who turned around, and said tremblingly:
"You, you... just let me go like this?"
Lin Xiao stopped and turned around and said, "Are you going to kill a kid with a water gun? A lesson is enough."
Water gun? Kid?
Viper looked down at his camouflage uniform and the anti-equipment sniper rifle in the fire, and showed a wry smile.
Not only did I underestimate his strength, I also underestimated his magnanimity.
"But you did remind me."
Lin Xiao ordered: "Great blessing, the leopard leaps like thunder!"
"Oh!" Dafu hit the viper with a 'bang', and he fell down the foot of the mountain, smashed to pieces.
Lin Xiao walked towards the parked motorcycle with a deep look in her eyes.
Although I am not afraid of Roman sending people to cause trouble, it is quite troublesome if the flies keep coming.
Now that it's time for a showdown...
Finding an opportunity to reveal your strength should save you a lot of trouble.
What's more, the scheduled appearance time for the live broadcast is coming soon.
Lin Xiao looked at the flowing clouds in the sky and thought about how to use the source world to reveal his identity.
…
…
Bang!
Roman slapped the office chair, his handsome face showing a rare twist:
"Who asked you to send someone to find him privately!?"
Levitanya's chairman, Kane lowered his head and replied calmly:
"I just want to find out his true strength so that we can prepare our next plan."
"Since you can't kill him, sending people to harass him will only make him more vigilant."
Roman turned around, looked down at the city outside the window, and said coldly: "We don't have many people in our hands, and now we have lost one more."
"No……"
There was a hint of weirdness on Kane's face:
"Not only did he not kill the viper, but he also released the viper back."
Roman's eyes moved slightly.
"This is the first sentence Viper brought back..."
Kane cleared his throat, imitated Viper's tone, and whispered:
"Lin Xiao asked me to bring a message to Mr. Luo Man... No need to check, he is the epee man."
There was a dead silence in the room.
Roman suddenly smiled and said with appreciation:
"How arrogant!"
Clang!
Roman pulled out the Sword of Damocles, stared at the mercury-like brilliance, and said:
"How arrogant."
Rather than saying that he is narrow-minded, it is better to say that for the sake of the Federation, Roman must keep everything under his control.
And the ‘Epee Man’ Lin Xiao is obviously that variable.
In fact, the caliber displayed by Lin Xiao made Roman feel a little afraid.
If someone had told him two months ago that another card master who would hit the eighth level would appear in the Federation, he would have definitely laughed it off.
And now... Roman is suspicious of the unknown and out of control.
Kane stood behind Roman and said calmly:
"Mr. Roman, it was my family that sponsored you to become an unparalleled national scholar. Maybe I think you also know the origin of the name of the Leviatanya Group."
Roman turned around and looked at Kane calmly.
"The Bible Genesis records that God created the mountains and the sea on the fifth day of creation of the heaven and earth, and created Leviathan out of clay on the sixth day. Leviathan is a monster that lives in the abyss of the sea. It has a huge body and is
The devil who symbolizes jealousy and evil..."
Roman: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"My family originally lived on the western coast of the Federation and made a living from the ocean-going industry."
Kane said calmly: "And in the waters of the Federation, my ancestors discovered a relic from the ancient times."
"What relic?" Roman's breathing quickened.
There was no shrewdness of a businessman in Kane's eyes, revealing the unique fanaticism of a believer. This fanaticism was fleeting, and he calmly replied:
"An egg. The egg that seals the devil."
…

The plot is speeding up. The plots of Mammon and Leviathan may be connected into one big chapter. Then prepare to reveal your identity.
