That's It?

After listening to the descriptions of the others, Luo Jun discovered that, including the two Polluter who were killed, after the bizarre loss of personnel, the remaining six Polluter on the other side were from the [Martial World], three from the [Paranormal], and none from the [Savage Wilderness]!

In fact, there were quite a few contestants from [Savage Wilderness] participating this time. Luo Jun had seen more than one before, especially the two he saw in the room on the fifth floor of the community before he triggered the Death Process. Although they were still alive, they looked dazed and had no power to resist.

Combining this intelligence, Luo Jun made a bold guess: the contestants from [Savage Wilderness] were all eliminated by those from [Paranormal] and [Martial World]!

Of course, Luo Jun had no way of knowing the specifics of how it would work, since killing fellow players would result in a significant point deduction. However, conversely, if they weren't killed, could they be enslaved using methods like Mental Control, thus maximizing the value of these [Savage Wilderness] monsters without triggering penalties?

As for that mysterious, tall woman, her magical powers are very likely related to those vanished [Savage Wilderness] contestants!

Of course, this is just Luo Jun's speculation; there is currently no evidence, he just has a vague feeling that something is amiss.

"It's almost time..." Wan Zisheng suddenly reminded them, "We should move to a different location."

During this time, they were constantly on the run, moving from place to place every now and then to avoid being discovered, never daring to stay in one place for more than an hour.

"No need," Luo Jun waved his hand and refused, "I'll just wait here and see what they're capable of!"

Having just destroyed the Saint's Remains and leveled up six times, Luo Jun was now bursting with confidence. Holding the Myriad Jun Hammer, he was confident that he could send the other party back to their hometown unless Yu Hua came Feather Transformation on his door!

"I admit you're strong..." Chen Fei shook his head. "But don't underestimate the strength of the Polluter on the other side!"

Zhuge Lan nearby, also advised, "Wan Zisheng is truly at the Peak level, and he has received the True Disciple of President Wan, making him a top-tier player even among the Peak. However, he is already struggling against Long Hui, who has recovered to his Peak. That mysterious woman's strength may even surpass Long Hui's! If the other side hadn't been playing around and trying to rack up points, we definitely wouldn't be alive now!"

"Underestimating your opponent requires at least a basic understanding of their strength." Luo Jun shook his head. "I've only heard about them from you, I haven't even met them, so how can it be considered underestimating or overestimating them?"

"Isn't listening to us enough?" Ling Xin frowned slightly.

"Of course not." Luo Jun's gaze swept over everyone. "In the eyes of a mouse, both a cat and a lion are invincible monsters. A tiger, wanting to know the lion's strength, won't listen to the mouse's opinion."

"What did you say!"

Luo Jun's words instantly enraged everyone.

"Even if you're at your Peak, aren't you being incredibly disrespectful?"

We kindly reminded you, and you were insulted like this!

"Wait here? You think you're so tough, running away even when you can't win, but you don't care about other people's lives?"

Everyone started pointing fingers, when suddenly Wan Zisheng frowned. "Oh no, they're here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of red mist suddenly condensed in the room, instantly outlining the image of a beautiful woman.

"So you were hiding here, preparing to face Lord Long Hui..." The woman chuckled, then suddenly frowned, cried out in surprise, and then vanished in a cloud of red mist.

"What happened?" Everyone in the room was taken aback, except for Wan Zisheng, who looked at Luo Jun in surprise. "What did you do?"

"It's nothing..." Luo Jun snorted coldly, "Just a minor Mental Shock."

After saying that, Luo Jun turned to look out the window. "Young Master Wan, can you guarantee the safety of the people in this house?"

Wan Zisheng frowned. "In my current state, unless Peak Level Combat Power rushes in directly, there shouldn't be much of a problem..."

"That's enough." With that, Luo Jun walked to the window and snorted coldly, "I won't let the opponent's Peak approach this room."

"Wait, you're not going to... face Long Hui alone, are you?" Wan Zisheng asked in surprise. "That's an apostle of the [Martial World]. Although there were rumors that his abilities had been weakened, he has recovered his strength through some unknown means during this mission. Although I don't know how he compares to his Peak thirty years ago, he's definitely not someone an ordinary Peak can contend with... You'd better..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Jun had already opened the window. "I know." He then prepared to jump out.

"Wait, idol!" At this moment, Chu Xin rushed up, took out a cigarette, lit it with a snap of his fingers, and handed it to Luo Jun: "This is my treasure. Smoking enhances perception and reaction speed, and also serves as a warning of danger. I was originally planning to keep it to save my life, idol, you should smoke it quickly, it should help!"

Luo Jun glanced at the embers of his cigarette, shook his head, and said, "Smoking is harmful to your health." He then leaped out of the window.

"Huh?" Chu Xin was taken aback, then looked down at the cigarette in his hand. "Did I light it for nothing?"

"Let's kill it quickly," Zhuge Lan said. "This is a rather precious consumable artifact, isn't it?"

"The problem is, once this thing is lit, it can't be put out..." Chu Xin said with a bitter face, quickly stuffing the cigarette butt into his mouth and taking a puff. "Don't waste it, don't waste it. In case someone breaks into the house, I'll have the strength to defend myself..."

Luo Jun arrived at the open space in the center of the residential area and looked around.

Even in the dead of night, the place was far from quiet. Many of the residents who had been woken up by him were still on the run, and all sorts of noises could be heard everywhere.

However, Luo Jun was able to extract the information he wanted from the cacophony of sounds.

"Stop hiding." Luo Jun looked towards a dark corner. "A dignified [Martial World] Apostle, the Peak of the Martial Combat Faction, sneaking around like this is beneath your dignity."

"Hehehehe..." A soft laugh came from the corner, and a long-haired man walked out.

The man was tall and robust, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth. His features were seven or eight parts similar to those of the young Long Hui Luo Jun had seen before, but he was obviously much older and had a more solid and taller build.

It seems Wan Zisheng and the others were right; Long Hui did indeed find a way to return to his Peak during this mission. At least Luo Jun was certain that if this appearance were mixed in with middle school students, he would definitely not be able to ignore it without any impression.

"You're Ye?" Long Hui looked at Luo Jun's mask. "I've heard of you; you're a recently risen Peak Expert!"

Luo Jun smiled slightly, "I didn't expect my reputation to have spread throughout the Martial World world, even to the apostle who has been hiding his identity for many years."

"No, no, no..." Long Hui waved his hand, "I only heard about you during this mission, from my friends in [The Paranormal]. They value you quite a bit." "[The Paranormal]?" Luo Jun slightly taken aback, feeling a little strange. He had never been to [The Paranormal], so how could he have attracted the attention of those demons and monsters?

"That's enough." Long Hui ended the topic. "Who you are, who wants your life, none of that matters. For me, as a [Martial World] apostle returning to the martial world, I must achieve a resounding victory. I want those old fogies from the Yuan Cultivation Society to know that the Iron-Blooded Dragon Mark that once gave them so much trouble has returned!"

As he spoke, a faint aura bearing dragon patterns emerged from his body. He opened his hand and clenched his fist towards Luo Jun: "Boy! Over the years, countless experts have fallen at my feet. So-called geniuses are nothing more than the threshold standing before me. Today, I will use this Dragon Pattern Qi to teach you a lesson..."

"Can we fight now?" Luo Jun waved his hand. "How long have you been holding back? You talk too much nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Long Hui's eyes widened in anger, and he snorted coldly, "Fine! I'll grant your wish and show you just how high the sky is!"

After saying that, Long Hui's body shone with a burst of energy, and he accelerated towards Luo Jun. The two collided and flew away into the distance at the same time!

"They've disappeared from sight..." Chen Fei, observing from the window, frowned and analyzed, "Both of them possessed extremely powerful auras, but their internal energy was condensed within a limited area around them. Despite having Peak Level Combat Power, the damage they caused when they clashed was not significant... This level of control is not something an ordinary person can possess."

"It's likely to be a protracted battle." Listening to the continuous sounds of fighting coming from afar outside the window, Zhuge Lan analyzed, "Based on the information we have, Ye should also be Peak Level Martial Combat Faction. Their battle is simply a head-on clash, and it will probably take until their inner energy is exhausted before a winner is decided..."

"What if that Giant comes knocking on our door then?" Chu Xin asked worriedly, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"Let's move first," Wan Zisheng suggested through gritted teeth. "We'll contact him once we're in a safe place."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately began packing their things, but Ling Xin objected.

The error-free version can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+shuba is the first site to publish this novel.

"I think it's better if we wait for him here."

"Why?" Chen Fei frowned. "This place has been exposed. If we stay here, it's only a matter of time before the enemy finds us."

Ling Xin looked at everyone. "Since Ye said he wouldn't let the Peak of the Polluter get close to this room, then this is the safest place. Running around might actually make things more dangerous!"

"You actually believe that kind of nonsense?" Zhuge Lan said, "Have you forgotten how terrifying Long Hui and that Female Monster were?"

"Of course I remember." Ling Xin nodded. "But I know better than any of you just how powerful the night is!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Zisheng frowned, looking at Ling Xin with a complicated expression. "What exactly happened in the Underground Ruins of [Savage Wilderness] that made you have such great confidence in him?"

Ling Xin shook her head and didn't say anything more.

But she clearly remembered that, stripped of all her enhancements, Ye had defeated the magical puppet that left her helpless!

It should be noted that even the Peak Expert only achieve a significant improvement in their Acquired Potential by perfectly fusing the three realms. In that state, their performance would not be better than hers.

But Ye, this mysterious man, possessed an innate strength that Ling Xin had never heard of Innate Potential.

Innate Potential can be said to be the foundation of Vital Energy Cultivation and also determines a person's upper limit! Two people at the same level may have vastly different strengths due to the difference in their Innate Potential!

Ling Xin simply couldn't imagine how strong Ye, such a terrifyingly Root Bone monster, was when he reached the Peak Realm cultivation!

"Alright..." Wan Zisheng nodded. "Let's wait here for now... but if they haven't decided a winner within ten minutes..."

Before the words were finished, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, and the continuous fighting sounds came to an abrupt halt.

"The battle is over?" Everyone was surprised and immediately pulled up the mission information to look at the remaining number of people!

Our side still has six members, while the enemy... only has three left!

"Could it be that the night was the victor?" Zhuge Lan asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Haha, he truly lives up to his idol's name!" Chu Xin danced with joy, gesturing with the cigarette butt in his hand. "I haven't finished this cigarette yet!"

"Not necessarily..." Wan Zisheng had witnessed Long Hui's strength. "It might not be Long Hui who dies, it could be that woman in the red mist, or Liu Weiyou... After all, Long Hui was an apostle of the Martial World world. He disappeared for over thirty years, and no one could replace him. Such a powerful figure couldn't possibly die so easily..."

Before he could finish speaking, a human head flew in through the window, rolled a few times on the ground, and then stopped face up.

The head had long hair, a straight nose, a square mouth, and a frozen expression of terror on its face—it was undoubtedly Long Hui!

"This... this is..."

While everyone was still in shock, a detached voice came from the window.

"The Dragon Pattern Qi is indeed interesting... but its aesthetic appeal outweighs its practicality."

Everyone turned to look and saw Ye, wearing Half-Face Mask, leaning against the bedside. His aura flickered slightly, and faint dragon patterns appeared and disappeared, lifelike!

"You really killed Long Hui!" Wan Zisheng was the first to step forward, his face full of disbelief. "That [Martial World] apostle?"

"This level is enough to become an Apostle?" Luo Jun scoffed. "Then he still has room for improvement."

Luo Jun Luo Jun n't bragging. In fact, he had some expectations before the battle, but perhaps because he had suffered too much at the hands of the Saint's Remains, Long Hui's performance at the very beginning of the fight disappointed him somewhat...

Long Hui's Dragon Pattern Qi was originally derived from Gathering Origin Protective Qi. Although Luo Jun had not reached the Heart Refining Realm, he had already gained the upper hand in the battle of Qi duels due to his terrifying strength and power. In addition, with his strong Root Bone and the fighting skills he had learned from the Saint's Remains, he basically crushed Long Hui in every aspect!

If the opponent is from another faction with some kind of mysterious ability, that's fine, but for Martial Combat Faction faction that only knows how to fight head-on, if their basic attributes are inferior, then their hope of victory is very slim...

As a result, after exchanging a few blows with Long Hui, Luo Jun was confident of victory. The reason he dragged it out for so long was that he had become curious about the Dragon Pattern Qi. He studied it during the exchange of blows, figured out the trick, and finally delivered the killing blow.

Poor Long Hui, after going through countless hardships to regain his strength, encountered an opponent who was his natural counter...

"What about that woman who can turn into red mist?" Ling Xin suddenly asked.

"Her?" Luo Jun looked out the window. "She fled as soon as the battle started, and I haven't found any trace of her..."
