Chapter 953: Chapter 948: Spider Silk II

"Just a drop of blood, and you can become one of my subordinates."

Lin Xin said casually.

His words spread directly to all the original energy manipulators present.

The ones on the outer circle didn’t know what happened and started to get restless.

But those in the inner circle who had witnessed Prince Lei Ling being instantly killed, were swallowing hard.

A terrifying existence capable of killing a high-level destruction manipulator—could he bring something so simple as an ordinary stone slab?

No one believed it.

A total of one hundred slabs flew out.

They floated precisely in front of each third-level and above original energy manipulator present.

"Die! You madman!!"

An original energy manipulator whose own brother had been killed during Lin Xin’s previous curfew, rushed madly toward Lin Xin with bloodshot eyes.

He easily leaped over the fence, and the spiked metal ring in his hand shot out like a cannonball towards Lin Xin.

"Courting death!"

The Illusion King Ji stepped to the side and suddenly whipped out a golden chain, striking the person like a whip.

"Shine!"

The original energy manipulator was beaten until he spewed blood, but still roared and his whole body inflated crazily, evidently using some terrifying secret technique.

"Let’s die together! You demon! Hahahaha!!!"

He laughed wildly, his skin starting to crack with bloody fissures.

Boom!!!

The Illusion King Ji’s expression changed slightly; he was carrying at least dozens of high-energy compressed bombs!

One high-energy compressed bomb could instantly destroy everything within hundreds of meters.

It’s a horrific weapon of mass destruction, ten times more powerful than plasma bombs and high-yield explosives within its range.

At such close distance, even he couldn’t possibly evade it completely.

Red flames with specks of white exploded directly.

The explosive fire stream formed a sphere in mid-air, causing everyone except the Anthem to change color.

But at this point, it was too late to retreat.

"A bunch of trash!"

Lin Xin pointed impatiently.

Buzz!

The invisible force field flickered instantly, and the fireball in mid-air completely disappeared. As if it had never existed.

"Forgive us, General!!" The Illusion King Li and Ji felt panic in their hearts, their faces turning pale as they dropped to one knee.

"Blood on the stone slab, do I need to say it a second time?" Lin Xin’s eyes gradually squinted as he started to lose patience.

"Yes!!"

The Anthem made up his mind, biting his finger and dropping a drop of his own blood onto the stone slab in front of him.

The moment the blood dripped onto it, a strange peculiar feeling suddenly flooded his heart. It seemed as if something very important to him was being invisibly drawn out and absorbed into the stone slab ahead.

Together with him, more than ninety others also dripped blood.

A total of one hundred original energy manipulators, the weakest of them at the third level, the strongest being Anthem-class destructors, followed by twelve Shadow Flight level original energy manipulators. Including three Illusion Kings.

They were all elites from various organizations and forces.

At this moment, everyone exchanged glances quietly, pretending to comply with the orders.

"This monster surely can’t keep us stuck here forever, nor can he follow us forever."

An original energy manipulator of the Shadow Flight level spoke quietly to a companion beside him.

"As soon as we get away, we’ll immediately return to the organization for a full examination. As long as Mr. Ye is there, any trouble or hidden dangers can be resolved."

"Try to speak less, keep a low profile." The Shadow Messenger beside him replied, "We’ll talk more after we get back."

"Alright."

Both of them watched their blood drip onto the slab.

Hiss....

An eerie scene unfolded.

The blood dropped onto the scorching red stone slab didn’t evaporate instantly but mysteriously merged into the center like a gemstone.

Ah!!!

The two Shadow Messengers, who were fine just a moment ago, suddenly screamed in pain as their heads exploded.

Bang, bang!!

With two crisp sounds, their heads burst open, turning into headless corpses that fell to the ground.

Not just them, but at least seventy to eighty percent of the original energy manipulators who had dripped blood also clutched their heads, screaming in agony.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

Clouds of exploding blood mist signified the death of an elite original energy manipulator.

The Anthem and the three Illusion Kings watched everything around them with extremely grim faces.

"There’s still some issue...." Lin Xin murmured, touching his chin.

The power of the Fragments of a Millennium contained extremely rich principles of the great universe, giving him a direct and intuitive understanding of the higher energy levels after careful study.

This substantially compensated for his shortcomings regarding the soul.

So, he casually concocted a new, improved version of the soul contract, tossing it to everyone present to try.

But the success rate wasn’t high....instantly killing more than half of them. Including some strong Shadow Messengers.

Though it was said to be an improved version, it was technically just an incomplete version.

It was a contract he revised after gaining insights from the Fragments of a Millennium.

Now it seemed there were significant issues.

"Luckily, some did succeed."

He glanced over the remaining original energy manipulators.

There were twenty-five left, including the Illusion Kings and the Anthem.

"You handle things here; I need to gather enough information on the Fragments of a Millennium, then bring it to me in Yongxing City."

Having set the contract, he didn’t waste any more words.

He turned and with a flick of his body, disappeared into the distance.

The group remaining, including Adagio, all had grim expressions as they looked at the remaining original energy users around them, and the corpses scattered across the ground like a field of dead.

There were also many ordinary original energy users, those at the Second Level and below. They were panicked and had already started to flee in all directions.

Now, only a hundred or two people remained in the vicinity.

"Although I don’t know what that Soul Contract tablet is, since it’s a method presented by His Excellency the General, it must be extraordinary. It would be wise for everyone not to think of escaping."

Illusion King Li stepped forward and proclaimed loudly.

Adagio’s expression was extremely unpleasant.

Because he had already tried, and as soon as he showed even a little disrespect toward General Tu Ling, his whole body was wracked with pain, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

This pain came inexplicably and without warning.

No matter how he examined himself, he couldn’t find the source of the problem.

But on second thought, since that individual was in a legendary Realm, it was not surprising to have such means.

"I have a question," he suddenly said aloud.

"Speak," Illusion King Li stood firm and replied.

"That person, is he really just your third General?"

Adagio emphasized the word "third."

"Yes, it is said that the Lord was introduced into the organization by the Second General, the Prophet, and has only been a member for less than a year."

Illusion King Li answered this question.

"Is that so...."

Adagio now knew where he should belong.

Yes, his thoughts were simple; he just wanted to figure out whether he belonged to the Gao Shan organization or was under the personal command of the third General.

Now it seems that a mere Gao Shan might not be able to hold the newly joined Lord Tu Ling.

*****************

Chen Feiyang walked step by step towards White Dragon Inn.

The short sword in his hand had just sliced through the muscle tissues in the other’s back a few seconds ago.

The tip of the sword still dripped with fresh blood.

White Dragon Inn leaned half against the tree trunk behind him, eyes fixed on Chen Feiyang, whose eyes were silver white.

A slight chill emerged in his heart.

Since the other’s eyes turned silver white, he seemed like an entirely different person.

Every attack, defense, and dodge was executed perfectly with no wasted effort.

His movements were so precise they were like a machine.

Even the fluctuations in his emotions were suppressed to an extremely weak level.

This made multiple attempts to provoke him fruitless.

"You... what kind of Breeding Armor do you have!?"

White Dragon Inn coughed a few times, vomiting blood, knowing he was done for.

No one could survive with more than thirty piercing wounds on their body.

He naturally couldn’t either.

So, before dying, he wanted to die with understanding.

"Tell me, where is Xiao Ling?"

Chen Feiyang seemed to find even speaking laborious in such a state.

Although he defeated his opponent, it didn’t mean he did so effortlessly.

That silver-eyed state allowed his strength to be utilized to the extreme and heightened by two hundred percent.

But the result was a considerable depletion of his physical strength and spirit in all aspects.

Fighting at a higher level naturally came with a price.

"She will be fine."

White Dragon Inn answered calmly.

"Before I came, I took the little one from White Bird and locked her in a hotel nearby in Sun Slope Town. The room number is 1215."

"You!"

Chen Feiyang was surprised by the outcome, his expression slightly stunned.

The opponent hadn’t harmed the little one but instead helped her escape from White Bird.

"Don’t worry about my injuries; being less skilled is my own doing." White Dragon Inn fumbled with his hand to pull out a cigarette, bit into the filter, and gently lit it.

Hiss.....

He let out a long stream of smoke.

"Being able to die so openly in a battle has been my thought for a long time."

"I...." Chen Feiyang watched as the silver in his eyes faded away, leaving a deep fatigue and remorse on his face.

"It’s nothing major. Losing means losing, and losing means there’s nothing left." White Dragon Inn laughed.

"You must also be careful; losing really leaves you with nothing....."

He laughed as his gaze began to blur. The cigarette burned in his mouth, but he could no longer take another puff.

"He’s going to die."

A voice that Chen Feiyang could never have imagined appeared in his ears.

"Master!!!???"

He was so startled that he almost jumped up.

Suddenly turning his head, he saw Lin Xin, hands behind his back, leisurely walking over.

"Master, when did you appear??!!"

Chen Feiyang exclaimed in surprise and joy.

"I’ve been here for a while, just watching you bond and didn’t want to interrupt."

Lin Xin said casually.

By now, Chen Feiyang had long realized that his master was not an ordinary person. Since he apprenticed, no matter what problems he encountered, his master could easily guide him, having such a Realm.

It was certainly not something an ordinary person could do.

He suspected that his master must have once been a powerful original energy user who lost his strength and Breeding Armor due to some accident, and thus became a regular teacher who only taught combat.

But this did not prevent him from admiring and respecting him.
