Target: all Dead Servant within the domain.

As the command was issued, any Dead Servant that stepped into the range of the domain had three of their five senses stripped away instantly.

The swarm of Dead Servant fell into complete chaos, launching indiscriminate attacks as they could no longer distinguish the direction or location of their prey.

"Though I don't know what they use to track enemies, I only need to seal their sight, hearing, and smell. Now that they've become sitting ducks, we can begin our assault."

Lu Mingfei explained to Chu Zihang and the others.

Watching the chaotic swarm of Dead Servant, Chu Zihang felt it was inconceivable; he had never heard of such a Spirit Word.

Calming himself, Chu Zihang said to Lu Mingfei and Zero, "We will have reinforcements in half an hour. We only need to hold out for that long."

"Who says we need half an hour? Besides, I only sealed their three senses to make slaughtering them more convenient."

Lu Mingfei's lips curled into a smile filled with murderous intent.

"Anyone who dares to draw a blade against me, whether human or otherwise, must die."

With that, Lu Mingfei walked into the chaotic swarm of Dead Servant.

Chu Zihang was stunned, but he followed nonetheless.

Zero, expressionless within her full-body combat suit, followed closely behind Lu Mingfei.

Although the Dead Servant within the domain were in total disarray, even tearing each other apart without targets, their sheer numbers meant they were still closing in on the center of the camp.

Lu Mingfei entered the swarm, swinging his blade with simple motions; the bones of the Dead Servant shattered under the edge, and every one he encountered was finished in a single strike.

School teachings usually claimed that Dead Servant were quite troublesome, especially when they moved in packs.

Yet, watching Lu Mingfei swing his blade, Chu Zihang felt these Dead Servant were unusually easy to kill.

Tensing his arm, Chu Zihang swung Murasame toward a Dead Servant's throat, instantly separating head from body.

Feeling a slight numbness in his arm, Chu Zihang's Golden Pupils burned once more, treating this as a trial before his revenge.

Zero was also slaughtering the Dead Servant with high efficiency; she danced on the blades of the Dead Servant like a ballerina, the chaotic snapping and biting unable to touch a single inch of her body.

"Truly reliable companions."

Lu Mingfei observed their combat from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei spun violently, his long blade trailing flesh and blood as the surrounding circle of Dead Servant was instantly cleared.

For the time that followed, Lu Mingfei simply cleared the Dead Servant around him while sharing the pressure off the other two.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

Chu Zihang panted slightly; after ten full minutes of hacking, his arm had gone numb.

Looking at Lu Mingfei and the mysterious girl, he saw they were like machines that never tired, hacking away incessantly.

As expected, I am still too weak. If I survive this, I must increase my training when I return.

"Damn it, how can my precious ones be so fragile?" Bai Yan gritted his teeth from a tree in the distance.

Their organization had spent so long carefully cultivating these experimental subjects; he refused to believe they could be held back by a mere three Half-Blood!

Bai Yan blew his whistle again, and a strange, shrill sound rang out.

Bai Yan could see that the Dead Servant around the three Half-Blood were not listening to his commands at all. What had gone wrong?

"How foolish."

Lying in the forest, Jiu De Mai heard the whistle and mocked the idiot softly.

Jiu De Mai had already grasped the intentions of Little White Rabbit, but these Dead Servant were numerous in earnest; she wondered how Little White Rabbit would resolve this.

"Found you."

As Bai Yan blew the whistle again, Lu Mingfei had already pinpointed his location.

"Senior Brother Chu, and the little girl, stay away from me. Leave the rest to me," Lu Mingfei said.

After the slaughter just now, Chu Zihang had gained full trust in Lu Mingfei; since he asked him to stay back, he would trust him to the end.

Chu Zihang rushed out instantly, running toward the edge of the barrier, and Zero followed without hesitation, seemingly possessing absolute trust in Lu Mingfei as well.

Lu Mingfei stood amidst the swarm of Dead Servant; they had already killed about a fifth of the total number.

The reason it had been so easy was that the Dead Servant could not perceive the trajectory of his attacks.

Next, he would give them a proper greeting.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei stopped restraining himself, his Spiritual Power surging as he released his own Spiritual Pressure.

Heavy.

Oppressive.

The Dead Servant around him were forced to lower their bodies, kneeling onto the ground.

Lu Mingfei gripped his Zanpakuto with his right hand, and Reishi formed a black pillar of light, erupting around him.

"What is this!" Jiu De Mai exclaimed.

She watched the black torrent in the distance, which shot straight into the sky, and felt waves of stifling pressure.

"Good heavens, is this a blockbuster special effects set?" Su Enxi was also stunned as she watched the images on the remote computer monitor.

High-density Reishi coiled around the black blade of the Zanpakuto, with Spiritual Pressure gathering and compressing upon the Reishi.

Black mist rose from Lu Mingfei's Zanpakuto, ignited, and finally swirled around the blade in a liquid state.

Lu Mingfei swung his blade in a horizontal slash, and the black strike instantly swept across the entire field.

All the kneeling Dead Servant were instantly vaporized, their flesh, blood, and bones evaporated into nothingness by the Spiritual Power.

Lu Mingfei controlled his strength slightly, ensuring the strike did not spread beyond the group of Dead Servant.

"How is this possible, how is this possible! How could a Half-Blood possess such power? Even a noble Second Generation Species would be no more than this!"

Bai Yan scratched his scalp frantically; the events of today were simply challenging his worldview!

"The experiment has failed. An extremely powerful Half-Blood has appeared here; we cannot stay any longer! I'm leaving as soon as I get back!" Bai Yan reported the situation into his walkie-talkie.

He raised his binoculars to look at Lu Mingfei's position once more.

What he saw was Lu Mingfei staring at him with cold indifference.

Lu Mingfei made a throat-slitting gesture at him.

He found me!

No, I have to escape quickly, back to the base, I must get back to the base. There are stronger experimental subjects there that might be able to hold him off.

Terrified, Bai Yan tumbled down from the tree and began to flee in a panic.

Lu Mingfei looked in the direction of his escape and used Flash Step to teleport to the side of Chu Zihang and Zero: "I'll leave the people inside the barrier to you; I'm going to check on the controller."

"Lu Mingfei!" An anxious voice called out.

Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Su Xiaoqiang inside the barrier.

"You must come back safely!" Su Xiaoqiang looked into his eyes.

"I promise." Lu Mingfei nodded gently at Su Xiaoqiang.

Beside them, Chen Wenwen felt a sudden sense of emptiness in her heart upon hearing those three words: I promise.

"He's already run far away; can you find his location?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I have already memorized his aura," Lu Mingfei replied.

Immediately, Lu Mingfei drew a rune on the ground and chanted:

"Heart of the south, eye of the north, fingertip of the west, toe of the east, gather with the wind, scatter with the rain."

"Binding Way 58, Grab Toe Sparrow Tracker!"

"I know his location now." Lu Mingfei departed with Flash Step.
