I'm Here!

Lu Sheng did not know the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes before him, but the instant the man's gaze fell upon him, dense goosebumps rose across Lu Sheng's skin.

It was as if...

The middle-aged man's gaze was a blade, lightly slicing across his body.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes before him, and said calmly, "Who are you?"

Though his tone seemed calm, every nerve in Lu Sheng's body had tensed at that moment.

If the middle-aged man made any move, Lu Sheng would react in an instant.

Yet, faced with Lu Sheng's question, the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes smiled.

He looked at Lu Sheng and said with a faint smile, "Lu Sheng, a student of the Martial Arts Class at Cloud City First High School. Cultivation at the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer. Has mastered martial arts, with combat strength provisionally rated around Blood Qi Layer Eight!"

"His parents both died when he was young. He lived alone in Cloud City, and his current address is No. 38, Yueyang Street, Cloud City!"

"What I said... should be correct, right?"

The middle-aged man's voice entered Lu Sheng's ears. Every word that landed there was like a little iron hammer, lightly knocking against Lu Sheng's heart.

The other party knew every last detail about his background.

Then the reason for his visit...

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You want to kill me?"

"Who wants to kill me? Bai Mo?"

Lu Sheng spoke steadily. To be honest, it would have been a lie to say he was not panicking in the face of this unfathomable Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes.

But thanks to the effect of Tenacity, he calmed down immediately, his mind rapidly reviewing everything that had happened to him lately.

Logically speaking, he should not have offended anyone during this time.

Yet the other party had investigated everything about him so thoroughly and had even appeared here. Their purpose was already self-evident.

As for who had sent him, after thinking it over and over, Lu Sheng could only come up with Bai Mo.

After all, during this time, Bai Mo was the only one whose gaze toward him had seemed off.

Bai Mo was the most likely culprit!

Of course, there might have been other reasons, but Lu Sheng had only mentioned Bai Mo's name to sound out the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes.

Sure enough, upon hearing the name Bai Mo, a faint ripple appeared on the middle-aged man's calm face, though it vanished completely in the next instant.

"You truly are clever. If you hadn't provoked the young master, perhaps Cloud City would have gained another Viscera Refining Realm martial artist in time!"

"What a pity... You offended the young master. In this Cloud City, you will never have a day to rise!!"

The Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes's voice gradually turned cold. Lu Sheng could even begin to sense an immensely powerful pressure emanating from him!

This pressure was something Lu Sheng had never felt even from Wang Lin before.

That could only mean the other party's strength... had already surpassed the Blood Qi Realm!

A Blood Refining Realm martial artist!!

Lu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly. The moment the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes's aura leaked out, his body moved as well.

Without the slightest hesitation, he hurled the combat backpack on his back at the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes.

Then he sprinted backward at full speed.

His qi and blood erupted and surged into his feet. His entire body shot away like a cannonball, fleeing madly!

Lu Sheng was no fool. Faced with a martial artist suspected to be in the Blood Refining Realm, he was definitely no match for him.

His only option was to flee toward Cloud City. Even if he did not make it into the city, as long as the people from the Military stationed in Cloud City saw him, his safety would be effectively guaranteed.

As for meeting him head-on...

He was made of iron, but he was not iron-headed!

Watching the backpack fly toward him, the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes frowned slightly and casually waved a hand. Surging qi and blood abruptly erupted.

Before the backpack could even approach him, it exploded into powder and scattered away.

He looked in the direction Lu Sheng had fled, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Sure enough, he is a clever one. He actually thought of returning to Cloud City!"

"Only..."

The Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes slowly lifted one foot.

"Before an absolute gap in strength, even if I let you run fifty meters, I will still cut you down within three breaths!!"

As his words fell, the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes stepped forward.

In an instant, surging qi and blood burst wildly from his body. That violent aura carried an incomparably terrifying pressure as it swept mightily toward Lu Sheng.

He himself moved like a ghost, closing in on Lu Sheng in an instant with horrifying speed.

Feeling the terrifying aura coming from behind him, an ugly expression appeared on Lu Sheng's face.

"Damn it, is this the strength of a Blood Refining Realm martial artist? Such terrifying speed..."

Lu Sheng felt unwilling. He had clearly done nothing, yet someone still wanted to kill him!

"Fuck!!"

At that moment, Lu Sheng's fury was completely ignited.

Ever since transmigrating into this world, Lu Sheng had only wanted to live well. At first, he had had no choice but to find a way into the Martial Arts Class for the rent. Then he had improved himself so he would not be forced out of the class. Later, he had taken Kong Yunzhang as his master.

Lu Sheng had only wanted to live another life and fulfill the regrets he had failed to resolve in his previous one.

But now...

Lu Sheng realized that surviving in this world was not an easy thing!

Even if you did not cause trouble yourself, trouble would still come knocking!

In this world, Demons watched like tigers eyeing their prey.

And the existence of martial artists made this a world where the strong devoured the weak.

Under the leadership of the Great Xia Martial Alliance, most martial artists fought to resist Demons and protect their homes.

But wherever there was light, there was shadow.

Filthy things had never disappeared from this world!

"If you want to kill me, I won't let you have an easy time either!!"

Lu Sheng roared in a low voice. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He actually stopped in his tracks, spun around sharply, and bellowed at the Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes.

"Hm? This is a little interesting!"

The Middle-aged Man in Hemp Clothes raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze carrying a hint of mockery.

"I'd like to see how an ant like you intends to keep me from having an easy time!!"

Lu Sheng only felt a surge of hot blood rush into his mind. Just as he was about to act, he discovered that at some unknown moment, a jade-white arm had appeared before him.

Along with it came a gentle voice by Lu Sheng's ear.

"Enough, Junior Disciple Brother. I'm here!"
