Chapter 397

Whoosh!

A sudden gust of wind arose.

Lu Sheng took a step forward, crossing the entire distance between himself and the towering man.

His movement wasn’t fast, and everyone could see it clearly.

Or rather, it was so fast that it reached another extreme.

In this extreme, time seemed to stretch infinitely.

The air turned into a viscous liquid, with Lu Sheng’s figure pulling clear, transparent ripples.

The black fog a thousand meters away was drawn in, forming a long, conical black shape.

The towering man’s pupils contracted into needles. As Lu Sheng moved, he tried to resist.

But just as he raised his hand, Lu Sheng’s palm was already in front of him.

Clang—

A fair and slender hand, with five fingers extended, nails trimmed neatly, exuded a sharp blade-like edge.

This hand reached forward, tearing through the force field around the towering man like it was thin paper.

It moved straight ahead, silently splitting his tough combat suit.

The fingertips touched flesh.

The towering man could almost hear the sound of his chest muscles and tendons snapping one by one.

Then this hand, like a bamboo spear, pierced straight in.

What seemed a slow process ended in the blink of an eye.

To others, the towering man seemed struck by an arrow or pierced by a spear.

Then …

Boom!

Both figures disappeared, followed by a massive crash at the edge of the clearing.

The horse-faced man’s squad members turned their stiff necks to look.

They saw a long trail on the uneven ground, ending in an unfathomably deep crater in the stone wall.

Along the way, a few unlucky exotic beasts were caught in the impact, pressed into the crater, causing nearby beasts to retreat in fear.

The squad members stared blankly at the dark crater.

Soon, they heard faint footsteps from within.

In the dim light of the cave, they strained to see a tall, slender figure walking out.

He stepped over the rubble, his right hand dripping blood.

Lu Sheng casually shook his hand, flinging off the flesh and blood stuck between his fingers.

This sight made the squad members gasp, a strong electric current shooting up their spines, making their hair stand on end!

Shocked!

Ji Xun, ranked second on the General Star ranking, known for his invincibility, was pierced through the chest by an unknown young man, his life or death uncertain.

If this news spread, it would shock the entire Eastern Military Region!

However … It seemed they had no chance to do so.

All their communication wristbands were destroyed. If they died in here, exotic beasts would devour them within half a day, leaving no trace.

Even if someone found out …

The squad members looked at Lu Sheng, filled with sorrow. Could the military district hold accountable a top expert who could kill Ji Xun with one move?

“Forget it.”

At this moment, Lu Sheng spoke, pulling the squad members from hell to heaven.

“I’m almost done venting.”

The squad members looked up, faces filled with excitement and joy.

“Thank you, sir …”

The horse-faced man started to thank him but felt a gust of wind and a sharp pain on his face.

Then came the sounds of screams behind him.

The horse-faced man’s face turned pale. He touched his face and felt only emptiness and blood.

Lu Sheng casually tossed several bloody ears on the ground, looking at them calmly, “Remember my face. Next time, be afraid of me. Understood?”

“Understood! Absolutely!”

The squad members clutched their faces, nodding frantically, eyes filled with terror.

Lu Sheng didn’t bother with them further. His spiritual power gathered the precious metal, and he vanished into the cave corridor.

The unsettling signals from his immortal cells grew stronger; he couldn’t delay any longer.

“Sigh, I’m still too soft-hearted. I can’t be like Gu Xuan, killing people like cutting grass …”

Lu Sheng sighed softly, his voice fading into the wind.

Meanwhile, the squad members, seeing Lu Sheng leave, scrambled to retrieve their ears from the ground. If reattached quickly, they might heal.

“I finally remembered who he is …”

A squad member held his ear, grimacing as he compared it to his face, “Lu Sheng, ranked fourth on the General Star Ranking, the rising star of the Ninth War Zone. Twelve and a half-star combat power…”

“So it’s him!”

The horse-faced man finally understood why Lu Sheng seemed familiar. Shocked, he said, “No wonder Dong Shengyi, among the top ten on our Eastern Military District’s General Star Leaderboard, challenged everyone except Lu Sheng. He must have known about him. Dong Shengyi defeated Ji Xun in one move, and so did Lu Sheng. They are on the same level!”

The squad members were moved, this news was astonishing.

Who would have thought the Eastern Military District hid such a top expert?

“The shadow of Dong Shengyi over our district will be lifted. Everyone will be thrilled by this news!”

Someone said excitedly.

At this moment, they didn’t even see losing an ear as a humiliation, but felt admiration for Lu Sheng.

“Captain, what about Ji Xun …”

“Let’s check.” The horse-faced man remembered Ji Xun and cautiously approached the crater.

The crater was dark, filled with the smell of blood.

Someone pulled a glow stick from their pocket, broke it, and carefully threw it into the crater. The stick traced a long arc before landing several meters away. It meant Lu Sheng’s attack had driven Ji Xun into the rock over ten meters deep!

Such power … couldn’t be described as simply terrifying.

The squad members felt more horrified as they walked slowly into the crater.

At the end, they saw a figure embedded in the rock. The once invincible Ji Xun now looked like a mural on the wall. Behind him lay a exotic beast’s body, squashed into a pulp. His chest bore a ghastly wound, exposing his beating, bleeding heart.

The horse-faced man examined him and said with a complex expression, “He held back, missing the heart by a few inches …”

Ji Xun stared blankly at the ceiling, eyes empty, face still showing shock and disbelief.

He was alive but seemed dead.

…

“Brother Dong, we can’t go any further …” Lin Wanwan, panting, ran to Dong Shengyi and tugged his sleeve.

Dong Shengyi ignored her, continuing straight ahead.

His eyes were dazed, his expression blank, like a possessed person, only knowing to move forward.

“Wanwan, move aside!” Dong Qingxue’s cold voice sounded behind Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan quickly stepped aside.

Dong Qingxue stood behind Dong Shengyi, her beautiful eyes flashing. Dozens of hexagonal military spikes shot towards Dong Shengyi, producing piercing sounds.

Clang clang—

The knife light fell like a waterfall, striking down all the spikes.

Dong Shengyi turned, expressionless, looking at Dong Qingxue with icy eyes.

“Dong Qingxue, do you really want to die?”

Dong Qingxue stared back fearlessly, “Dong Shengyi, it’s time to go back. Wanwan has collect enough samples …”

“Yes, Brother Dong, we should go. I don’t want to stay here any longer …”

Dong Shengyi’s cold expression softened slightly but quickly shook his head, “You go back. I want to see the deepest part of the Catacomb … I feel something calling me, something I’ve been seeking …”

His eyes shone with a strong light, his expression becoming fanatical, muttering, “The ultimate martial arts!”

“If there is an ultimate martial art, it won’t be in the depths of the cave. You’ve been bewitched, Dong Shengyi!” Dong Qingxue interrupted coldly.

Dong Shengyi waved his hand, looking uninterested in explaining further.

He moved again, continuing forward.

“Dong Shengyi! Dong Shengyi!”

Dong Qingxue called out, but he ignored her.

She turned to Lin Wanwan, shook her head helplessly, “He’s gone mad.”

Lin Wanwan looked worried, glancing around the darkness, nervous and unsure, “Sister Qingxue, what should we do now?”

Dong Qingxue took a deep breath, determinedly looking at Dong Shengyi’s receding figure, gritting her teeth, “Wait here. I’ll wake him up and bring him back!”

She said, and the hexagonal military spikes rose again, flying towards Dong Shengyi’s back along with her figure.
