Chapter 407 Exterminate All
The Ancestral Skeleton Headband, although Legendary Treasure Item, has been tempered by the legacy of the Deity, making it stronger than ordinary Legendary Treasure Item in terms of rank!
As Summoned Creature by this Noble Phantasm, Ailongtan and Aishiliya's Combat Power is almost comparable to that of a Heart Refining Realm cultivator from the same faction, at around the early to mid-stage.
Of course, normally speaking, High Priest of a lower rank shouldn't be a match for the Empress. But in reality, the difference between them in the Heart Refining Realm isn't that great. If a comparison must be made, the Empress's advantage lies in her more Foundation Establishment foundation. The High Priest is proficient in Elemental School and Illusion Faction, while the Empress is proficient in Martial Combat Faction and Shapeshifting Faction. The former consumes a lot of energy when using skills, and their bodies are relatively fragile. In battle, although they have many skills, they dare not use them recklessly. The Empress, on the other hand, not only has a solid foundation but also consumes less energy, allowing her to maintain full power. Naturally, she has a clear advantage in the contest.
But now, the gap between the two has been greatly narrowed by Luo Jun's Dominator's Necklace!
Compared to the tens of thousands of Breath Vital Energy given by Luo Jun, the two of them had negligible amount of energy, which allowed Ailongtan's strength to leap forward!
How terrifying is a mage who never runs out of mana?
Others may not know, but Anderson is experiencing it firsthand now!
When he Entering the Game Personally and pressed his soul into the spell, he immediately sensed that something was wrong!
The opponent is not simply inclined towards Illusion Faction, but is a master of Illusion Faction who has achieved the Heart Refining Realm!
This doesn't make sense; it doesn't match the intelligence. Wait, my last intelligence report was from several months ago... but that's impossible. According to the intelligence, this kid only came into contact with the Yuanqi Yuan Cultivation Society and Ningdong Academy for verification in May of this year. At that time, he was at most at the second level of the Body Refinement Realm. Even if he's exceptionally talented, it's impossible for him to reach the Heart Refining Realm in just six months...
Anderson was completely baffled, but there was no time for him to delve into the matter now. This "Luo Jun" before him clearly possessed remarkably sophisticated methods; his soul might be able to enter, but it was uncertain whether it could escape!
From the outside, the two appeared to be facing each other, with Anderson's hand resting on Luo Jun's head, motionless. The others assumed he was casting a spell to Memory Reading, and knowing the danger of this technique, dared not interfere.
But in reality, Anderson's consciousness was already trapped inside "Luo Jun's" body. His opponent's previous show of weakness was just a ploy to lure him into a trap!
On the Counter-kill me? You're seriously underestimating me!
Anderson was also aroused. As Cultivators of the few Illusion Faction in the Hell Creek Family, he was given special training from a young age because of his good talent. He had already reached the Heart Condensation Realm Middle Stage when he was only in his thirties. Although he could not compare with those famous geniuses, he could be considered an outstanding talent in the cultivation world!
No matter how much this kid is hiding his true abilities, he's still just an eighteen-year-old boy, and it's impossible for him to be stronger than me in terms of cultivation level!
With a little more effort, I'm sure I can win this battle of wits!
Of course, Anderson's confidence wasn't based solely on appearance. During the confrontation, he could also sense that his opponent's skills were no better than his own, and were probably slightly inferior.
If the technical skills aren't significantly different, then it's a contest of sheer willpower!
Anderson was even more confident about this.
His natural Root Bone is around 1.5 times that of ordinary cultivators at the same level, which is not particularly outstanding, but his spirituality is over 30 points and his magnanimity is about five times that of ordinary Cultivators at the same level!
Moreover, Anderson also carries an Epic Treasure Item that not only reduces the consumption of vital energy, but also allows him to store vital energy at other times, up to a maximum of five hundred breaths!
With a large enough capacity to begin with and plenty of Reserve Energy, Anderson didn't believe this kid could outlast him!
Time ticked by, and Anderson, who had maintained Gao Qiang of output, was starting to feel his energy waning and began to draw on his reserves. On the other hand, his opponent showed no signs of fatigue and was becoming increasingly unrestrained and extravagant in actual combat!
How much energy does this guy have? It seems like there's no bottom to it!
Anderson started to panic. He gave up the fight and tried to get away... but his opponent relentlessly pursued him, giving him no chance. However, if he continued to fight, he couldn't see any hope of victory!
In his desperate struggle, Anderson's body began to tremble slightly, and sweat began to bead on his forehead. Those around him exchanged bewildered glances.
"Does Memory Reading really have to be this difficult?"
"I don't know, this is a very advanced ability, it's the first time I've ever seen it..."
"Anderson's skill level is recognized by the elders, so there's definitely no problem."
"I reckon this is a sign that success is near..."
The words had barely left his mouth when Anderson's trembling suddenly intensified, and he abruptly straightened up, flying backward...
"What's wrong?" Everyone rushed over and helped him up. They found that Anderson was pale, his eyes were rolled back, blood was flowing uncontrollably from his nostrils, and he was convulsing like a seizure.
"This is..." Even a fool would know something was wrong. Immediately, someone rushed over, grabbed "Luo Jun's" hair, and lifted his face, only to find that the kid was reacting the same way—his face was covered in blood, and his whole body was convulsing...
"What exactly is this...?"
As the man was wondering what was going on, he suddenly felt a shadow flash by, then his right hand went empty. He then saw Luo Jun's head drooping, and a severed hand hanging from his hair...
"This..." Before he could react further, everything went black, and he heard the last sound of his life:
"Enemy attack!"
As another Federation member shouted, everyone else looked at Luo Jun's companion and saw that his body had been split lengthwise in two, the two halves of his corpse lying on the ground, blood and internal organs splattered everywhere...
Seeing this, the others drew their weapons and magical artifacts. One of the blonde women detonated a Barrier Grenade on the spot, and a pale blue transparent barrier enveloped everyone.
"Esli, have you seen your opponent clearly?" The blonde woman, who had detonated the grenade, pulled out a revolver and asked with a frown.
"No..." A bald Black man pushed his sunglasses up to his head, revealing a pair of golden eyes, scrutinizing the situation. "The other person moved very quickly, I didn't see it clearly..."
"You didn't even see it?" another person asked in surprise. "Could it be an expert from the Yuan Cultivation Society?"
"Impossible!" Black man Esli gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the Yuan Cultivation Society to intervene, they wouldn't kill people directly! This kid has a secret; he's definitely not an official!"
"A ruthless Rogue Cultivator, and incredibly powerful..." the blonde woman frowned. "Quickly notify Charles; my barrier will last for fifteen minutes, he should be able to get here..."
"No... he won't make it in time..."
A chilling voice rang in the blonde woman's ear. She instinctively tried to turn around, but felt a coldness on her neck. Then the scenery began to spin, and finally, she felt a warm touch on her face, as if someone was cupping her face. Looking around, she saw others staring at her in terror, including a headless body dressed in the same clothes as her...
This was also the last image she saw...
"Linda is dead!" the others cried out in terror, raising their weapons and firing at the mysterious figure holding Linda's head!
Just now, this guy suddenly appeared inside the barrier and killed Linda with a single chop to the neck!
Faced with the onslaught of the crowd, the mysterious man neither dodged nor evaded; the rising aura around him blocked all the attacks.
"Who are you?!" Black man Esli stared with his golden eyes. The mysterious person in front of him was covered by a cloak, and only the lower half of his face could be vaguely seen in the shadow of the hood... This was not right. He was Cultivators of the Insight Faction, and his eyes could easily see through ordinary disguises, but even so, he still couldn't see the person's appearance clearly from his perspective!
The ability to distort cognition... or rather, a Noble Phantasm! Just as Esli finished his analysis, the cloaked figure moved!
Brush!
Almost instantly, the two people closest to him were cut in half at the waist. The qi they had pushed to its limit was as fragile as paper in front of the mysterious man!
At this moment, only Esli and Anderson, who was still convulsing, remained inside the barrier!
No... as the cloaked man advanced, Anderson's head was also crushed by his foot.
"You can't kill me!" Taking advantage of the cloaked figure's momentary lapse in attention, Esli suddenly shouted, "I have a life detection Law Technique on me. If I die here, the Hell Creek Family will find out, and they'll definitely trace it back to you..."
In his final moments, he still hoped to save his life. "Besides me, everyone else here is a marginal figure not valued by the Lineage. If you kill them, the Lineage won't pursue the matter... but if you kill me, the Lineage will definitely not let you off!"
"I promise you, as long as you spare me, I will make sure the Lineage doesn't pursue this matter... Believe me, I am a core member of the fifth generation of the Hell Creek Family, and I carry a lot of weight with the elders. I will definitely be able to..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Cloaked Man was already in front of him, pinched his mouth shut, and lifted the Daqiang black man up with one hand.
"Stop bragging... I know you're not that important!"
After saying that, the Cloaked Man increased the pressure with his fingers and crushed his head with a crack.
Thus, all the Federation agents involved in the Kidnapping of "Luo Jun" died in this abandoned warehouse.
The Cloaked Man raised his hand and lifted his hood, revealing a Half-Face Mask.
"The Assassin's Cloak has excellent stealth capabilities; even a typical Insight Faction wouldn't detect it. It's almost as effective as an assassination during a mission."
Luo Jun took off his cloak with satisfaction and put it away. He walked to the edge of the barrier, punched it, and the barrier flickered a few times before collapsing and disappearing.
Having broken through the barrier, Luo Jun arrived in front of the bound Ailongtan and found the old man still rolling his eyes and twitching, his nose still bleeding uncontrollably.
"Alright, stop pretending!" Luo Jun patted his own face. "It's too ugly..."
Upon hearing his master's command, Ailongtan finally stopped his performance, chuckling, "I was just afraid of being exposed..." Then, with a flick of his finger, several Wind Blade cut through the ropes, freeing himself.
"Great Master, what are your plans next?"
"Let's clean this place up first..." Luo Jun first picked up and stored the treasures that had fallen next to the corpse. Most of them were rare and of good quality, nothing good. Only Anderson was wearing an epic quality bracelet with the effect of reducing energy consumption and storing energy... The effect was quite practical, but it was really useless to him.
Luo Jun shook his head in disappointment at not finding anything good. He then took out the Ancestral Skeleton Headband, put it on his head, and summoned two Ancient Guardian and several Jackal Warrior.
As soon as these monsters appeared, they grabbed the corpses on the ground and swallowed them. They were especially meticulous with the Jackal Warrior, licking up even the scattered bloodstains and bits of flesh.
Just in case, to be on the safe side, Ailongtan carefully summoned flames and swept them across the ground to ensure there wasn't a single organic residue left...
Having dealt with this part, Luo Jun put away the other monsters, led Ailongtan out of the warehouse, and got into an inconspicuous van.
From the outside, the vehicle looked dirty, with many scratches on its body. In some places, the primer was exposed, and you could even see yellowish-brown rust. It was clearly a piece of junk that had been used for years to haul goods to construction sites and could only be sold as scrap metal.
But once you get in the car, you'll see an exceptionally sophisticated dashboard, especially the speedometer, which has a maximum speed limit of 1,000 kilometers per hour...
"This is... your Longitudinal and Horizontal Sports Car?" Ailongtan, sitting in the passenger seat, exclaimed in surprise, "How did it get like this?"
"Longitudinal and Horizontal Sports Car can easily change their appearance anyway. I scanned a zombie car on the roadside when we came; it didn't even have a license plate, so I avoided the hassle." With that, Luo Jun started the engine, shifted gears, and drove out of the warehouse area. He glanced at Ailongtan: "Lead the way..."
"Are you really going?" Ailongtan hesitated. "That black man Esli, was definitely bragging about being highly regarded by the Lineage, but that Charles is indeed a core member of the Hell Creek Family..."
"So you think that if we keep our guard up against him and leave him alone, he'll let me go?" Luo Jun sneered. "The Hell Creek Family has clearly set their sights on me, and they're willing to blow my brain up to get information about the Eternal Star. Since it's come to this, I don't need to hold back!"
"If this matter ends here, Charles will definitely take further action and continue to cause me trouble if he doesn't get a reward from his subordinates. But if I take care of him as well without anyone noticing, the Hell Creek Family headquarters will only receive information that all the Lineage members sent to Ningdong City have died overnight. Even if they suspect the Yuan Cultivation Society, they will never suspect that I did it."
As he spoke, Luo Jun sneered, "If they really had the guts to deal with the Yuan Cultivation Society, they wouldn't have waited until today to Kidnapping a student like me!"
Upon hearing this, Ailongtan's eyes lit up. "Master is brilliant!"
As he spoke, he recalled the memories he had seen in Anderson's mind, "Charles should be at the New Lake Hotel right now, with two other members of the Hell Creek Family besides him!"
"Very good..." Luo Jun nodded, stepped on the gas, and headed straight for his destination.
