Eyes That Would Not Close in Death

When the black cat darted out, the patrolling servants didn't seem to care much. But when they saw a snake emerge, out of fear of snake venom, the group jumped around in a panic, afraid of being bitten.

While Internal Cultivation can expel poison, it depends on the specific level of Internal Cultivation and the intensity of the poison. How many true masters would do patrol work? With their Internal Cultivation below level five, they could at most try to extend their lives to two minutes after being poisoned for a minute, which would kill them instantly.

During the day, a closer look would reveal that neither the cat nor the snake is real, but at night, due to insufficient light and the fleeting nature of the objects, no one suspected they were fakes.

"Captain, my urine has dried up again. Let's hurry and leave. This place is close to the back mountain; who knows if any poisonous creatures might run down here?"

The Captain did not object. He sent a palm strike into the bushes, and finding nothing amiss, he waved his hand and quickly led his men away.

"Phew, no harm done."

Si Ming stood up from the bushes. He had just used a gentle force to slightly deflect the trajectory of the palm strike. Fortunately, he had mastered the "Water Moon Precious Mirror" to a high level, so everything flowed naturally and effortlessly, and he was not discovered.

Si Jingyu said, "Let's quicken our pace. We're not far from the inner quarters. Our goal is to confirm the truth, not to rescue anyone. It doesn't matter if we expose our whereabouts, as long as we can escape in time. If the guess is true, Lu Lineage's Spirit Transformation Grandmaster really was replaced, they should be the ones afraid of making a scene."

With no objections, the group stopped focusing on concealment and quickened their pace toward the rear courtyard.

After approaching a certain distance, Si Ming suddenly stopped and opened his eyes wide to observe his surroundings. Seeing this, the others also stopped and became cautiously on guard.

Si Jingyu asked, "What did you discover?"

Si Ming, "The Anomalies aura is very similar to the supernatural event that Si Huaruo and I encountered at school last time, but it's even stronger."

Si Huaruo tried to concentrate and enhance her inspiration, but unfortunately she couldn't sense anything. This was because Si Ming wasn't relying on his six senses, but rather on his Internal Cultivation. At this moment, the Blazing Sun True Qi within his body was like a hungry Taotie smelling delicious food, excitedly stirring.

Si Ming closed his eyes, gathered his True Qi in his nose, and fully activated the Heaven-Howling Art. He had cultivated this auxiliary Cultivation Method to an unprecedented level of perfection, extending its olfactory effects from the physical level to the energy level, allowing him to smell the flow of Spiritual Qi.

With a slight twitch of his nose, Si Ming quickly locked onto the southwest direction. "That's it. There's a powerful Anomalies releasing its aura, similar to an array. There are two other Anomalies of similar strength nearby, but neither of them is releasing their aura. To the north, where the young patriarch of the Lu Lineage lives, there's a weaker Anomalies. And further east, there's a powerful Anomalies aura far surpasses the previous four, and a weak Anomalies whose aura is far weaker than theirs."

"Oh, it's related to the Anomalies. This makes things even more interesting," Si Jingyu said with a playful smile, her eyes gleaming. "Unexpected information, but it has also cleared up a lot of mysteries. It's confirmed that the Lu Lineage has indeed been usurped by this group of Anomalies beings, who have replaced the leadership. I was initially worried that the Lu Lineage might be the kidnappers, but that possibility has now been ruled out. This group of Anomalies may be trying to use the Lu Lineage's power to achieve their own ulterior motives."

Si Ming asked, "I've heard that only the higher-ups of the Aristocratic Clan have access to Anomalies information, and that these Aristocratic Clan intentionally block it from spreading. How many secrets do you know?"

"The frequency and number of Anomalies occurrences are too low, and since various Aristocratic Clan are eager to uncover some secrets from them, information is not shared. I don't know much either, only that Anomalies occurrences come in two forms. One is the domain type, which, simply put, is like drawing a line in the sand, enclosing a piece of land as its own domain. Then, supernatural events frequently occur on this land, and the Anomalies within the domain also possess many incredible abilities. The most notable of these is their near-immortal regenerative ability; even if they are cut into a thousand pieces, they will instantly recover."

"Is there no way to control it?"

Si Ming recalled the last battle, where he smashed his opponent to pieces and tried to destroy the evidence multiple times, but the opponent would always regenerate. In the end, he only managed to kill it completely with the Blazing Sun True Qi.

"In fact, each recovery consumes some of your essence. Theoretically, if you kill enough times, you can wear down the opponent to death. However, this method is too inefficient. Therefore, it is best to use True Qi for destructive attacks. Each time you kill, you can inject a wisp of True Qi into the opponent's essence. As long as enough True Qi is injected, you can completely destroy the essence. Another faster method is to attack with Divine Arts. The parts destroyed by Divine Arts will not grow back. Of course, the opponent is not human. Even if they lose a hand or a foot, they can still move. You must completely destroy their body."

"What about the other form?"

"The first type of Anomalies can only move within its designated area and cannot leave. If you don't want to take risks, you can simply enclose that area and let it fend for itself. The other type of Anomalies is not restricted by the area and can move freely. However, it doesn't have any strange abilities. Although its body regenerates quickly, it's far from being able to recover after being destroyed. As long as you inflict enough damage on it in a short period of time, you can kill it."

Si Ming nodded. "Understood. Leave the most powerful Anomalies to me, you can distribute the rest yourselves. Hongdou, you don't need to help, just go find your parents."

In this situation where we knew nothing about the enemy, there were no specific tactics to plan, and no one objected.

Si Jingyu suggested, "Since we know the enemy is Anomalies, the Lu Lineage could potentially become our ally. Why not try to lure them out and make a big fuss? Under the public eye, once the enemy exposes their true colors, they will become the target of everyone's criticism."

"Then let me give them a warm greeting."

Si Ming put down the box on his back, used his blood to pass the authentication, and activated the Edict Circuit. The box slowly opened, revealing the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor inside.

Compared to his master who used a sword box to store the Profound Armor, making it difficult to detect any traces from the outside, Si Ming used a square box. When opened, the Profound Armor revealed a model of the Vermilion Bird, making it more similar to the Saints's Cloth.

Under the pre-programmed control, the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor automatically separated, and each component was put on Si Ming's body in turn, completing the one-click outfit change.

Si Ming was still somewhat unsatisfied, because it reminded him of an anime he loved as a child called "Ronin Warriors." He always thought the protagonist's transformation into armor was incredibly cool. He also remembered "Tekkaman," which was notorious for its gruesome plot.

Of course, he also enjoys the process of robots combining and beautiful girls transforming, even better if there were no censorship.

"So handsome!"

Si Huaruo looked at Si Ming, who was dressed in the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor, his body gleaming red, and her eyes sparkled.

"Tch, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse."

Si Shuiyun pursed her lips, but couldn't help taking a few more glances. With Nation of Beauty's technological level, they ultimately couldn't develop a decent Profound Armor. Profound Armor, a high-tech product, tests the overall industrial level. It has strict requirements from technology to materials, and it can't be made by the power of a certain Aristocratic Clan.

Generally speaking, few martial artists can resist the allure of the Profound Armor. Just as a general must wear armor, it is less of a man's accessory and more of an essential item for war.

The word "A" represents safety, strength and first place. No one will hate it unless they are the kind of fighting maniacs wearing explosive clothes.

Activating the Edict Circuit on his back, his sharp, sword-like wings unfurled, the anti-gravity device started, and Si Ming slowly rose into the air, his speed constantly increasing. In no time, he flew to a height of three hundred meters, and under the cover of darkness, even if one looked up, one could not see his presence.

However, he was soon noticed because the True Qi Beam Cannon on his shoulders began to fill.

After returning from Russia, the doctor further enhanced the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor, adding two functions. One of them was the embedded miniature Spiritual Origin Crystal, which, at its full capacity, could store the equivalent of a Level Twelve Internal Cultivation True Qi cultivation, thus compensating for Si Ming's own low level of Internal Cultivation.

When the stored True Qi was mobilized and fully channeled into the True Qi Beam Cannon, it immediately formed two dazzling stars in the night sky. Moreover, the intense fluctuations of vital Primal Qi served as a reminder to others that a major event was about to occur.

Si Ming could feel countless eyes focused on him, but he didn't care. At a height of 300 meters, most people couldn't hit him.

He adjusted the direction of his True Qi Beam Cannon, aiming it at the center of the Anomalies domain, where the energy was most concentrated. The instant it was fully charged, he shouted, "Screw sleeping, get up and party!"

Two blinding beams of light shot out, leaving two dazzling trails in the night sky, followed by a colossal explosion!

Chapter 330 Dying with Unresolved Feelings

Even though they are all True Qi, they have different attributes and effects, just like the allotropes of carbon. Fragile graphite is carbon, hard diamond is carbon, and fullerene, which has metallic properties, is also carbon.

True Qi can manifest as Yang or Yin, and can release or absorb heat. However, the True Qi generated by the True Qi Beam Cannon of the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor possesses extremely strong explosiveness and instability. This is a type of True Qi that is theoretically impossible for the human body to possess; possessing such True Qi would result in self-destruction and death in an instant.

The two energy cannon shots fired by Si Ming did not create a mushroom cloud, but instead produced a ground-sanding effect. The explosions were continuous, leaving the earth riddled with holes. Half of the entire back mountain of the Tea-Tasting Manor collapsed, and the remaining half burst into flames. Dozens of tons of sand and soil were blasted into the air, forming a smog that slowly descended. The powerful airflow rebounded, even impacting Si Ming, who was in mid-air. After a flurry of balancing, he finally regained his footing.

Looking down, the earth was ravaged beyond recognition, as if it had been struck by a major earthquake. Grotesque cracks were visible everywhere. Si Ming estimated that the destructive power was no less than a thousand tons of TNT, already falling into the category of a small nuclear bomb.
