Chapter 408 Eliminate the Weeds at the Root
Room 2408, top floor of New Lake Hotel.
This is a luxury suite with spacious rooms, exquisite decoration, and a living room with a ceiling height of two stories, making it look very grand.
A tall, thin white male, wrapped in a towel, walked out of the bathroom, drying his wet, curly blond hair as he went to the bedside, picked up his phone, and scrolled through recent messages.
"We haven't received a reply from Anderson yet." A black-haired man with glasses next to him said while tapping on his notebook, "According to the information we have, that student named Luo Jun is only at the Body Refinement Realm... at most, he's just touched the threshold of the Qi Cultivation stage. Anderson and the others should be able to handle him easily. It's been dragging on for so long, that kid probably really doesn't know anything."
"Whether he knows it or not, Elder Tresad will reply tomorrow." The blond man frowned, holding his phone. "Even if we blow that kid's head off, we have to get results today!"
As he spoke, he dialed Anderson's number, and soon a prompt tone came from the other end.
"It's turned off?" The blond man became alert. "Why would you turn it off at a time like this?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door. The blond man leaned warily against the doorframe. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Charles," a woman's voice came from the doorway.
"Michelle?" Charles didn't look through the peephole, but instead pointed to his forehead, then to the door. As the ring on his hand lit up, the scene outside appeared in his mind.
A woman with long, red, curly hair and freckles stood at the door, knocking with a hint of impatience. "What is it? Open the door! What are you two doing in there?"
After confirming it was someone on his side, Charles finally opened the door. "It's nothing. Just be careful when you're traveling."
"Really?" Michelle glanced at Charles, who was wrapped in a bath towel, then looked at the bespectacled man in the room with his back to the computer typing. "Are you sure you're not playing that kind of Game?"
"Hey!" Charles roared, "I've said it a hundred times, Richard is, but I'm not!"
"So you're sharing a room?" Michelle walked into the room, turned around and locked the door. Then she moved a chair to the most spacious spot in the center of the room and said to the bespectacled man, "Richard, I have something important to tell you. Set up the highest level of Soundproof Barrier."
"Something important?" Charles paused, then asked, "What is it?"
Michelle smiled slightly, "A message from Elder Stake."
Upon hearing this, Charles's eyes lit up, and he winked at Richard. The bespectacled man finally put his hands off the computer, went to the center of the room, took out his magic weapon, placed it on the ground, and set up a very high-level Soundproof Barrier.
Soundproof Barrier are a technique combining Illusion Faction and Insight Faction. Although it requires the abilities of both schools, the skill requirements for either school are not high. In addition, many Noble Phantasms also provide similar functions, so it is considered a relatively common ability.
Although it's called Soundproof Barrier, this skill doesn't just block sound; its essence is to block the transmission of information. The strength of its ability varies depending on the caster's skill level or the grade of the Noble Phantasm. The lowest level can indeed only provide soundproofing. However, as the level of ability increases, it can block not only sound but also electronic signals, and even block light, creating invisibility. After the barrier was set up, the two approached Michelle, only to see the woman smile mysteriously. Then, a cloaked figure suddenly appeared behind them!
The moment this person appeared, it alerted the two men, but before they could turn around, Luo Jun raised his hand and sent them flying into the air. Then he threw a chess piece onto the ceiling, and instantly, a transparent, hemispherical yellow barrier lit up in the room, trapping the two men in mid-air.
"This is..." The two people in mid-air were shocked and instinctively opened the Hundred Treasure Box and took out their weapons. But before they could fight back, the Cloaked Man waved his hands, and a tangible burst of energy swept across their necks like lightning, and their heads flew off!
However, the head that Richard had sent flying suddenly turned into a Water Sphere, along with the headless corpse, which also turned into a puddle of water...
But just then, Michelle suddenly raised her hands and unleashed a blazing flame that scorched the puddle of water. Under the intense heat, the water hissed and evaporated, accompanied by faint screams!
Under the scorching flames, Richard finally revealed himself, but he was much paler, thinner, and his glasses were shattered.
At that moment, Luo Jun swung his hand again, delivering a chop to the head!
Richard immediately grabbed his twin swords to parry, but Luo Jun's control was extremely strong. The moment his hand was about to touch the blade, he stopped, and then with lightning speed, he kicked Richard in the abdomen. The speed was so fast that it pierced through his internal energy, sending Richard flying through his body!
Richard spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't understand who this cloaked man was. His own internal energy seemed as fragile as paper in front of him, so utterly vulnerable!
But his brain quickly became unable to think. Luo Jun activated the qi in his legs and lifted them upwards, actually splitting Richard in two vertically!
Blood and entrails spilled out, but because the Earth Construct was pressed against the ceiling this time, the barrier acted like a large bowl, catching all the debris without spilling a single drop.
At the same time, a gigantic Ancient Guardian suddenly appeared. This creature seemed to have planned it beforehand; it didn't even take its weapons. It appeared in a crouching, huddled position, without breaking through the ceiling. After appearing, it opened its massive maw and swallowed Richard's severed limbs, which were nestled at the bottom of the barrier...
Richard was now completely dead, but Luo Jun did not let his guard down. He leaped onto the upside-down Earth Construct and cautiously looked around.
As for Charles, who was just beheaded along with Richard, his body is nowhere to be found.
After a while, a Blur figure suddenly appeared below Luo Jun, holding a large shotgun and firing into the air!
However, the target was not Luo Jun, but the Earth Construct he was climbing.
Large swarms of steel balls hurtled toward the Earth Construct, but were stopped by an invisible force when they were still a dozen centimeters away, leaving the Earth Barrier barrier completely unharmed!
On the other hand, Charles, who had fired the shot, was already in mid-air with Luo Jun holding him by the neck and kicking him. His gun had fallen from his hand, and his legs were kicking wildly.
"I don't care who you are, kill me, and your Lineage will definitely..."
Before Charles could finish speaking, Luo Jun snapped his neck with a snap, then removed the ornaments and magical artifacts from his body and threw the corpse at the Ancient Guardian was still crouching and waiting nearby. The monster opened its huge mouth and swallowed the corpse whole.
