Chapter Forty-Two: Instant Kill! I Surrender!

"Arhat Fist!"

A low murmur suddenly escaped Lu Sheng's lips.

Accompanied by bursts of golden radiance.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

On the stage, Buddhist chants completely resonated at this moment.

The grand Buddhist chants, as if carrying an extremely sacred luster, instantly spread.

Lu Sheng slowly raised his palm and gently clenched it into a fist.

The next moment, he pushed it towards Bai Mo, who was attacking him!

[Ronin]: When alone, defense increases by two hundred percent!

[Strong Strike]: Has a chance to increase one's technique by one hundred and fifty percent!

Both talents were instantly triggered at this moment.

Bai Mo's attack landed heavily on Lu Sheng's shoulder. The powerful force was enough to easily kill any Martial Artist in the Blood Qi Realm.

However...

Don't forget, although Lu Sheng's cultivation was only in the Blood Qi Realm, his physical body... was still comparable to a Martial Artist in the Second Layer of Blood Refining!

Even though Lu Sheng had not yet grasped the basics of the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Transformation," relying on the cultivation path of the first level of "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Transformation," Lu Sheng's physical body was even more powerful than that of a Martial Artist in the Second Layer of Blood Refining!

Coupled with the boost from the [Ronin] talent, his defense increased by two times.

Bai Mo's attack landed on Lu Sheng, only causing his shoulder to tremble slightly, but there was no other reaction.

And at this moment...

Lu Sheng's fist instantly landed on Bai Mo's chest.

[Good Luck] triggered!

The strong luck caused Lu Sheng's attack to land precisely on Bai Mo's weak point – the heart!

Coupled with the power of the Arhat Fist at its perfected realm!

Dong!!

Only a muffled sound echoed on the stage.

The next moment...

Bai Mo's already somewhat deformed body suddenly trembled, as if struck by some terrifying force.

His toad-like skin began to crack continuously, and pustules burst open at this moment, spewing out black liquid madly.

"Ah!!!"

Bai Mo let out a scream of pain.

Immediately after, his physical body actually exploded at this moment!

Flesh filled with a foul stench instantly splattered, covering the area.

The entire martial arts training hall fell silent as Lu Sheng killed Bai Mo.

"This... How is this possible!!"

Chen Zhen, standing nearby, watched the scene before him, his pupils involuntarily contracting slightly. Although he was a Martial Artist in the Hundred Meridians Realm, seeing Lu Sheng, who was only in the Blood Qi Realm, kill Bai Mo, who had taken the Demon-Infusing Pill and whose cultivation had erupted to the Third Layer of Blood Refining...

Chen Zhen's pupils trembled instantly.

"Junior Disciple Brother..."

In the rest area, Kong Xin looked at Lu Sheng standing on the stage, a different kind of light flickering in her eyes.

"Blood Qi is abundant, it seems Junior Disciple Brother has figured out some of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Transformation'!"

Kong Xin murmured softly, a flash of shock in her eyes.

Lan Linglong sat in her seat with a smile, looking at Lu Sheng serenely, but her eyes had unknowingly curved into crescents.

"As expected of Junior Disciple Brother! So amazing!"

Lan Linglong thought joyfully.

"This little fellow..."

Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"As expected of someone chosen by that person. Facing Bai Mo, who had taken the Demon-Infusing Pill, he was still able to kill him across realms. Such terrifying combat power, I haven't seen anything like it in Cloud City!"

Commander Chen spoke a rare sentence, then fell silent again.

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, a startled cry echoed in the martial arts training hall.

Chu Yanran was seen sitting in her seat, her face extremely pale. A piece of Bai Mo's flesh had fallen in front of her.

"He killed someone! He killed someone!!!"

Chu Yanran screamed in panic.

Her shouting startled the other students in the Martial Arts Class, who had been in shock. They looked at Lu Sheng, who stood calmly on the stage, with complex emotions in their eyes.

"What's going on? Why did Bai Mo suddenly turn into a monster?"

"I don't know, but I could feel a sense of impending death from him, even though he wasn't looking at me!"

"Hiss! Such terrifying strength, and yet he was still killed by Lu Sheng. This Lu Sheng... is simply terrifying!"

The students in the Martial Arts Class began to whisper amongst themselves.

For a moment, the entire focus of their discussion was on Bai Mo and Lu Sheng.

Bai Mo's sudden transformation was something Chen Zhen hadn't anticipated, especially with two important figures present today. It made Chen Zhen's scalp tingle.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he could naturally tell what Bai Mo had consumed.

But why would Bai Mo have something like this, which was typically only possessed by those scoundrels from the Demonic Cult?

Chen Zhen didn't have time to think too much. Seeing the somewhat flustered Martial Arts Class students, he could only brace himself and try to calm them down.

Especially Chu Yanran.

Bai Mo's flesh and blood had fallen in front of her, leaving her face ashen.

Meanwhile, in the rest area, Commander Chen and Alliance Leader Yun were still reeling from the shock of Lu Sheng's appearance. They were unaware that Kong Xin had already fixed her gaze upon them.

"You two... tell me now!"

"Why... does a young master of a Martial Arts Family, a mere high school senior, possess a Demon-Infusing Pill?"

"Could it be... that Cloud City has already been corrupted by people from the Demonic Cult?"

The icy voice reached the ears of Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen.

At that moment, both of them trembled slightly and snapped back to attention.

Sweat began to bead on Alliance Leader Yun's forehead, face, and body. Facing Kong Xin's cold gaze, he wiped his sweat with difficulty.

Commander Chen, on the other hand, calmly bowed to Kong Xin.

"My lady, give me half a day, and I will provide you with an explanation!"

Kong Xin glanced disdainfully at Commander Chen and said flatly, "Too long! Thirty minutes. I'll give you thirty minutes. If I don't see any news within half an hour, you can forget about being the Commander!"

"Accompany me to Demon Slaying City and guard the front line for a hundred years!"

"Yes!"

Commander Chen immediately agreed without hesitation and left the martial arts training hall without looking back.

"I can arrange for the military. As for you, the fellow from the Martial Alliance..."

Kong Xin turned her gaze back to Alliance Leader Yun.

"Although I am not from the Martial Alliance, many people in the Martial Alliance give me face. What? Are you not going to give me an explanation?"

Kong Xin looked calmly at Alliance Leader Yun, awaiting his response.

Alliance Leader Yun's face turned incredibly bitter.

He didn't need Kong Xin to say it; he already knew that the person in front of him was someone he absolutely could not offend. Even if she wasn't from the Martial Alliance, her status and strength... it wouldn't be difficult for her to have considerable influence within the Martial Alliance.

Moreover, this matter was precisely due to his own failure as a branch leader of the Martial Alliance!

Thinking of this, a ruthless expression flashed across Alliance Leader Yun's face.

"Please give me thirty minutes, my lady. If I cannot produce any news by then, I will submit to whatever punishment you deem fit!"

Alliance Leader Yun said fiercely.

Kong Xin sat back in her seat and slowly withdrew her gaze.

Alliance Leader Yun was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting and hurrying out of the martial arts training hall.

Seeing the two important figures of Cloud City leave, the principal of Cloud City First High School was somewhat bewildered. However, recalling what had just happened and seeing the attitude of the two important figures towards Kong Xin, the principal of Cloud City First High School became cautious.

He glanced at Kong Xin fearfully and asked in a low voice, "My lady, should we continue today?"

Although he didn't know Kong Xin's identity, judging by the attitudes of Alliance Leader Yun and Commander Chen, he could tell that the person in front of him had an extraordinary background.

"Continue! Why wouldn't we? Just because one little fellow took a Demon-Infusing Pill, should everything be postponed?"

"Since this fellow is already dead, the matter of the Demon-Infusing Pill will naturally be investigated. You, Cloud City First High School, should just proceed with the plan obediently!"

Kong Xin said calmly.

The principal of Cloud City First High School breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then gave Chen Zhen a look.

At this moment, Chen Zhen had finally managed to calm down the students in the Martial Arts Class.

Except for Chu Yanran, whose face remained pale, everyone else had recovered considerably.

Although witnessing a killing was somewhat brutal in their eyes, they were still Martial Artists, and they adapted after a while.

"The ranking assessment will continue. Lu Sheng, do you want to continue challenging?"

Chen Zhen looked at Lu Sheng on the stage.

Lu Sheng's brow twitched slightly, his gaze falling on Jian Yunlong. During the last ranking assessment, Jian Yunlong had placed second!

Under Lu Sheng's stare, Jian Yunlong's expression immediately darkened. Although he wanted to maintain his ranking, he couldn't help but recall the recent match between Lu Sheng and Bai Mo. He knew his place.

Without any hesitation, Jian Yunlong spoke directly, "I concede!"

Lu Sheng wasn't surprised by this and simply shifted his gaze to Hong Wu, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

It was as if he were asking...

What about you?

Hong Wu's expression was also a little grim, but for the sake of his pride, he stepped forward, meeting Lu Sheng's gaze and taking a deep breath.

"Come, fight!!"
