What It Means to Be Invincible
"Run!"
"Hide! Quickly find a place to hide!"
Still can't get in touch?
"Waaaaah... Liars, they're all liars! I want to go back to the Underground City..."
"Can anyone tell me what happened?!"
"Quickly, inform Minister Duan!"
Cries, shouts, and panic filled every corner of the new city.
Even in areas unaffected by the aftershocks, chaos still reigned.
It's important to know that in the new regime's organizational structure, most of the high-ranking personnel had previously gathered in the building where the Combat Command Center was located.
While this approach increases efficiency, it also minimizes the ability to withstand risks.
The Old Ancestor Blood River unleashed his power, destroying the building housing the Combat Command Center, effectively leaving the new regime's superstructure a blank.
As a result, not only are the general public at a loss, but even the officials at all levels of the new regime are now like headless snakes, not knowing what to do.
The complete disappearance of the decision-making body was a major earthquake for the operation of the regime, not to mention the impact of the disappearance of the moon. Even with Lu Bai's image as an omnipotent figure in people's eyes, he was somewhat unable to control the situation.
Lu Bai knew very well that at this point, even if he activated the [Mindstream Network], it would be impossible to calm the overall panic simply by saying a few words.
With this in mind, he simply ignored the chaos that was taking place in the new city.
The most urgent task is to deal with the Old Ancestor Blood River, who has been granted abilities by the Deathmatch System.
Once he has free time, any problem will be solved.
Unfortunately, Old Ancestor Blood River clearly wouldn't act according to Lu Bai's plan.
Boom!!!
The figure of the Old Ancestor Blood River suddenly appeared where Lu Bai had been a second ago.
A violent force surged forth, even the air currents felt fierce and unyielding.
Using [Flash Time] to evade the attack, Lu Bai stood in mid-air and extended his right palm towards the Old Ancestor Blood River below.
Six shimmering light rulers grew around the Old Ancestor Blood River's waist, but they did not delay him in the slightest.
Old Ancestor Blood River's body instantly transformed into a simple humanoid straw figure, and his true form had already appeared in front of Lu Bai.
The whole process was extremely fast, and the cooldown of [Flash Time] didn't even finish.
Without any further exchange, Old Ancestor Blood River raised his leg and delivered a sweeping kick.
The movements were simple, yet the power they contained was terrifying.
A deafening explosion shook the heavens, and Lu Bai, who had been using [Steel Body] the entire time, was instantly blasted away by this sweeping attack.
His figure flew backward like a missile, even creating a sonic boom in the air.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After crashing through three tall buildings, Lu Bai finally slammed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust tens of feet high.
Screams erupted from the area around the crash site, but no one dared to approach and see what had fallen.
Old Ancestor Blood River took a step forward and, in the blink of an eye, traversed a distance of more than ten miles, arriving above the large crater created by Lu Bai.
"Heavenly Venerate Lu, show yourself. I know you won't be killed so easily."
The three words "Heavenly Venerate Lu" that he used had, at some point, become filled with sarcasm.
Tsk.
Lu Bai used [Wind Riding] to conjure a gentle breeze that dispersed the surrounding smoke and dust.
He looked up at the Old Ancestor Blood River and sighed helplessly, "What a nuisance."
He had originally planned to read whatever ability the other party used.
However, faced with such an arrogant individual, this plan was forced to fall through.
Ultimately, the Deathmatch System offered far too many abilities. From the moment they began until now, Old Ancestor Blood River hadn't used a single ability repeatedly. The sheer number of abilities was more than enough to make them usable as one-time uses.
Two Mona Warrior who had infiltrated the new city during the chaos gazed at Lu Bai and Old Ancestor Blood River facing off in the distance, lost in thought.
Who is that?
Although Mona Warrior rarely interact with other Mona Warrior outside of their partners.
But they do know each other, or at least they look familiar.
The problem is, none of the Mona Warrior know who the Old Ancestor Blood River really is.
However, the abilities that the Old Ancestor Blood River has currently displayed are quite exaggerated.
"It must be infighting between lower races."
One of the Mona Warrior offered a condescending guess.
They are indeed human beings, yet they discriminate against the entire human race.
To their surprise, Old Ancestor Blood River, who was still some distance away, heard their mockery from a great distance and turned to look at them.
The two Mona Warrior froze instantly, one of them instinctively lowering his head, trying to make himself less noticeable.
The other was an even more fanatical convert, who braced himself and stared at the Old Ancestor Blood River.
Old Ancestor Blood River was now incredibly arrogant and had no scruples, so he simply raised his hand.
An unseen force pulled the two Mona Warrior out of the crowd.
He instantly grasped the memories of the two people, then revealed a disinterested expression. "Boring."
With his outstretched right hand slightly closed, the two Mona Warrior instantly exploded into two clouds of blood mist.
Immediately afterwards, he dragged dozens more figures out from various parts of the city.
Following the same method, dozens of Mona Warrior mixed in with the crowd were all turned into a bloody mist; they had neither the time nor the strength to resist.
After doing all this, the Old Ancestor Blood River lowered his head and looked down at Lu Bai: "No need to thank me."
Seeing this, Lu Bai said with some regret, "The number of Mona Warrior is still too small." They only managed to buy this little bit of time.
However, after the incident with the Mona Warrior, he suddenly realized that it seemed the Mona people hadn't taken any further action since destroying the moon.
Observing that Lu Bai was actually distracted at this moment, the Old Ancestor Blood River was slightly annoyed and spoke up.
"Heavenly Venerate Lu, if you think I can't do anything to you just because of your [Steel Body], then you're being too naive."
Yes, in fact, the Old Ancestor Blood River also possessed the same level of abilities as Lu Bai.
The reason why Lu Bai didn't have time to react to the previous attack was because he used [Flash Time].
"That's not what I thought."
Lu Bai shook his head and calmly added, "After all, a color-level ability can hardly be called invincible."
"It's good that you understand that."
The Old Ancestor Blood River's smile was somewhat sinister.
His figure vanished abruptly, and when he reappeared, he had already grabbed Lu Bai by the neck with one hand. "I can let you die knowing why."
Even at this point, the Old Ancestor Blood River noticed that Lu Bai's expression had not changed at all, which made him inexplicably uneasy.
Ignoring the hand gripping his neck, Lu Bai added quietly, "Because I know what true invincibility looks like."
