"Hey? There's a Human Race cultivator charging over here, looking to die."
"How arrogant! We haven't even gone looking for him, yet he's come knocking on our door!"
"Heh heh, there are no shortage of fools among the Human Race. Back when we massacred that city on the border, weren't there also a few fools inside who didn't run? Instead, they practically delivered themselves into our mouths, didn't they?"
"Hahaha, then tear him apart!"
"..."
The many wolf-shaped demons burst into wild laughter.
Lu Jun had already rushed to the very front of the wolf demons' formation. The long blade in his hand blazed with searing scarlet light as he suddenly swung it upward from below.
As Lu Jun's blade came crashing down,
the many wolf-shaped demons before him neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, the savage glint in their eyes flared, and their razor-sharp wolf claws gleamed with a chilling light as they swiped at Lu Jun without the slightest hesitation.
The powerful slash and the demons' claw strikes collided almost simultaneously.
Before anyone present could react, they instinctively heard the wet shua of flesh being cleaved by a blade, followed by the sound of blood splattering across the ground.
When they came to their senses, they saw five or six enormous wolf heads and massive wolf claws blasted into the air by the fierce blade qi.
"This... One slash, five wolves! That single strike killed five wolf demons! Doesn't that mean he can directly become a Bronze Envoy?"
Everyone was stunned.
But Lu Jun's performance was far from over. It had only just begun.
After charging into the pack of wolf demons, Lu Jun seemed to have gone berserk with bloodlust. His movements drifted like startled swallows, ethereal and impossible to trace.
At that moment, capturing Lu Jun's position had become incomparably difficult.
The only thing they could do was lock onto the long blade in Lu Jun's hand, which radiated intense red True Qi, barely keeping up with his movements.
Countless fierce blade lights flashed before everyone's eyes.
And every time a blade light swept past, it meant that another wolf demon's life had been ended by Lu Jun.
"Hahahaha! All of you, die!"
Watching the black words constantly appear before his eyes and the steadily rising Demon Essence, Lu Jun was ecstatic. He had completely fallen into a blood-soaked frenzy.
He raised his hand and swung again, a slash streaking across the blade.
With the wind generated by Lu Jun's Soaring Wind technique bolstering it, the scarlet slash seemed to grow even denser and heavier.
In an instant, wherever the slash passed, several wolf demons were severed at the waist.
As time slipped quietly by, the ground beneath Lu Jun's feet had already been dyed bright red. Countless enormous wolf bodies collapsed at his feet.
The battle before them was no longer an even contest.
It had become a one-sided, barefaced crushing belonging solely to Lu Jun—a slaughtering feast made from the blood splashed by demons and their mangled flesh.
The thick, foul stench of blood suddenly jolted the exam participants watching from afar awake.
"Hey... there are only about a dozen demons left on the field... He's already killed nearly forty..."
"Before the examination, I even asked what we'd do if there weren't enough demons to go around... You all said not to worry, that killing even one would be pretty good... And now there are only a dozen left..."
"Damn! While we were talking, a few more disappeared!"
"What are you standing around for? Snatch the demons!"
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted from within the crowd.
Everyone abruptly came to their senses. They activated the True Qi around their bodies and charged toward Lu Jun.
"Lu Jun! Brother Lu! Stop! Don't kill any more! Leave some for us!"
"Brother Lu! You're practically my own brother! Leave the last two for us!"
"Brother Lu, stop! Leave it to us!"
Behind Lu Jun, the many Law Seekers had gone frantic as well.
The many Law Seekers regretted their earlier inaction.
When the wolf demons had first been released, they had genuinely been frightened.
But who would have thought that after being dazed for only a moment, Lu Jun would nearly wipe out all the demons?
Damn it, were they even going to be able to take the examination?
"Damn it!"
The three great geniuses whom everyone had placed their hopes on—Mu Han, Chen Jiang, and Qingshan Yang—also panicked.
They had cultivated for so long, preparing to make a name for themselves throughout the world after emerging into society.
Who could have imagined that on their very first day out, during the examination, they would end up unable to even touch a demon before their ambitions were dashed?
They couldn't accept this.
At that moment, Chen Jiang of the Puppet Corpse Dock suddenly turned vicious. He immediately used the Puppet Corpse Dock's divine ability, lodging a wisp of his divided soul inside the zombie that had always followed him at his side.
The next second, the zombie beside Chen Jiang abruptly opened its eyes, brilliant light bursting from its pupils.
Immediately afterward, the zombie's head suddenly began to detach from its body. A ferocious zombie head shot through the air toward Lu Jun.
The reason Chen Jiang was the representative figure of this generation of the Puppet Corpse Dock was that he had also cultivated a mutant among zombies—the Flying Head Zombie.
Although this zombie was not as powerful as the Corpse Subduer and Roaming Zombie Lu Jun had encountered before, its strange divine ability made it exceptionally suited for sneak attacks.
At that moment, only the last three demons remained before Lu Jun.
As for the calls from the people behind him, Lu Jun remained unmoved.
Whether they could pass the examination had nothing to do with him.
If they lacked the strength, they could simply cultivate in peace for a few more years.
Lu Jun raised his hand, lifting the long blade high. Just as he was about to bring it down,
he suddenly sensed something and tilted slightly to the side. A blue-faced, fanged zombie head abruptly swept past his shoulder.
Lu Jun frowned and reached out, grabbing the head of the Flying Head Zombie that had charged past him. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he drove the long blade straight down, heavily piercing through the Flying Head Zombie's head.
"Pfft!"
Behind Lu Jun, Chen Jiang suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.
When the zombie was killed, the soul of the controller lodged inside it was damaged as well, and he naturally suffered the backlash.
The brief interruption passed.
Lu Jun raised his hand again. Blade light swept across, and the heads of the last three demons fell to the ground.
At this point, Lu Jun had single-handedly dealt with all fifty demons on the field.
After Lu Jun finished slaughtering every demon,
Chen Jiang, Qingshan Yang, and Mu Han finally arrived.
Looking at the sea of demon corpses covering the ground, they were left gaping, unable to utter a word.
"How could you kill all these demons? You even killed Chen Jiang's Flying Head Zombie! Do you realize how badly this will affect his cultivation..." Qingshan Yang's expression shifted as he abruptly began questioning Lu Jun.
Lu Jun did not answer him. He merely raised his hand and swung, sending a slash shooting toward Qingshan Yang and Chen Jiang.
It was so fast that no one present could react.
By the time everyone came to their senses, Chen Jiang and Qingshan Yang had already been blasted dozens of meters away. Their chests were split open, blood pouring freely.
"Was I the one who stopped you from killing the demons?"
"You two despicable bastards—one played at sneak attacks, while the other clearly had no strength yet still came before me to question me with such righteous indignation? What do you take yourself for? Do you even deserve to question me?"
"If you're weak, train harder. If you lack strength, keep your head down and learn how to conduct yourselves."
Lu Jun coldly tossed out those two remarks, then walked straight through the middle of the crowd.
Of course, no one dared to stop him.
Several lines of text appeared before Lu Jun's eyes.
[Slain Demon—Flying Head Zombie (mutant among zombies), acquired its innate evolved divine ability—Detached Soul] [Detached Soul: Your soul can leave your body and enter another person's dreams.] [Slain Demon—Gray Wolf Demon, acquired its innate evolved divine ability—Iron Shattering Claw] [Iron Shattering Claw: You can control the growth rate of your nails, making your fingertips sharp and hard.] [Demon Essence: 8600]
