Is He a Reincarnated God?!

This silent torment...

Filled them with even greater fear.

And this feeling of being utterly helpless...

They never wanted to experience it a second time for the rest of their lives.

Just then...

A cold, clear voice rang out from the darkness.

It seemed to come from every direction, yet also from right beside their ears.

"Why did you come to kill me?"

Boom!

The two men's minds went blank in an instant.

Kill him?

Who would dare kill such a powerful being?

Their minds raced through every possible enemy they might have made, yet no matter how hard they tried, they could not connect this terrifying existence to any name.

Suddenly, they realized something.

The voice sounded very young, with a trace of childishness not yet faded from its youthful tone. It formed an eerie contrast with the ruthless slaughter from before.

The vice-captain spoke with utter disbelief, his voice trembling with despair.

"It was you?!"

"How is that possible!"

"But you're only seven years old!"

"How can you have this kind of strength?!"

He was practically going insane.

Being able to enter Shrek Academy's Inner Court already made him a genius, someone who had always stood above his peers.

But when he had been seven years old...

He had only had one ring!

And wasn't fighting above one's rank Shrek's specialty?

Since when...

Could others fight above Shrek members' ranks too?

And by several major ranks at that.

A Five-Ring Soul King had been killed in one strike.

A Six-Ring Soul Emperor and a Seven-Ring Soul Sage...

Had not even possessed the strength to fight back.

"Wrong answer."

That cold, clear voice rang out again.

At the same time...

A sword silently thrust out from the darkness.

The sword tip, wrapped in pure Deep Winter Sword Intent, pierced precisely through the vice-captain's chest.

The Power of Deathly Silence erupted!

The vice-captain let out a muffled groan.

He collapsed heavily, grievously wounded and on the verge of death.

All he could do was wait in despair for the Power of Deathly Silence to spread throughout his body and carry him into death.

At that moment, upon hearing the vice-captain fall, the captain also fell silent.

That cold, clear voice continued.

"Why did you come to kill me?"

The captain opened his mouth, wanting to reveal everything.

His mind weighed the options at lightning speed.

Confess, beg for mercy, then shift all responsibility onto Cai Yue'er. Perhaps he could still win himself a way out.

But he also understood...

Just how terrible the impact on Shrek Academy would be if this matter were exposed.

An academy elder had ordered the Shrek Inspection Corps to assassinate a seven-year-old boy. If word got out, Shrek's reputation built over ten thousand years would be ruined overnight.

By then, Elder Cai would not spare him.

Nor would all of Shrek Academy!

He could not bear it alone.

A fierce glint flashed through his eyes.

Rather than wait helplessly for death, he might as well risk his life in one final fight.

Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar—Wind Demon Bird!

His body swelled and transformed in an instant.

Deep blue-green feathers pierced out from his skin, his arms turned into broad wings, his face elongated into the outline of a bird's head, and his entire body grew more than three times larger.

At that moment, he transformed into a Wind Demon Bird.

With a flap of his wings, fierce winds rose.

He fixed on a direction.

His wings beat sharply, and his entire body shot forward like an arrow released from the bow!

He was so fast that even Cao Xin failed to stop him immediately.

Yet Cao Xin did not panic.

He watched the retreating figure, his gaze calm.

Then he looked at the corpses scattered across the ground, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

Concept ability [Alchemy Furnace] activated.

An ancient Alchemy Furnace appeared before him.

The furnace was dark bronze throughout, its surface engraved with profound patterns, radiating a faint warmth into the air.

Its mouth opened on its own.

An invisible suction force swallowed the five people into it.

The lid closed.

Then, the furnace body gave a slight tremor.

A few breaths later, its mouth opened again.

Five thumb-sized, perfectly round pills, each radiating a gentle luster, flew out of the furnace.

Adding the female team member from earlier.

Cao Xin now had six Upgrade Pills.

Cao Xin could not help but marvel at this.

This ability even came with corpse disposal.

The ground was spotless. Not even a drop of blood remained, as if those six people had never existed.

It truly was essential for murder and arson.

However, he did not take the pills.

What he lacked now was insight, not cultivation.

Even if he consumed Upgrade Pills, without the corresponding understanding of Sword Intent, forcibly increasing his strength would only make his foundation unstable.

Still, he truly needed to accumulate more of these pills.

He would need them when he broke through to godhood in the future.

And this amount was merely a drop in the bucket.

Then, a breeze swept through once more, scattering fallen leaves.

The leaves spiraled around him.

And Cao Xin's figure vanished again.

Riding the breeze, he pursued his target.

Half an hour later...

The captain had already flown far away.

He had crossed several mountain peaks and fields without stopping. Only after confirming there was no longer any sign of pursuit behind him did he land in a barren mountain range and return to human form.

He panted heavily, his face pale.

Even a Soul Sage...

Could not maintain a Martial Soul Avatar for too long.

After all, it was generally used to end battles quickly.

As for why he had not chosen to enter a city...

It was because he feared the matter being exposed.

With that boy's strange methods, if he caused a disturbance in the city and drew the attention of Federation troops or other forces, he would only find himself in even more trouble.

Therefore, he could only continue fleeing through the wilderness.

He had to widen the distance as quickly as possible, find somewhere safe, then contact Cai Yue'er and report the situation.

At that moment, seeing no movement behind him, he let out a breath of relief.

Fortunately, though that brat was strange and could kill several Soul Ancestors, Soul Kings, and even Soul Emperors in succession.

He was still a Seven-Ring Soul Sage.

If he fled at full speed...

That brat should not be able to catch up.

Just as the captain was about to contact Cai Yue'er through his soul guidance communicator and report what had happened that night...

A breeze drifted in.

The wind was gentle and warm, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees from the mountains and wilderness as it brushed over his face.

Feeling the breeze against his face...

The captain revealed a comfortable expression, and his tightly wound nerves relaxed slightly.

Then, killing intent suddenly appeared within the wind!

A streak of sword light silently thrust out amid the breeze.

At the last moment, the captain sensed that piercing chill. His expression changed drastically, Soul Power erupting around him as he flipped backward.

The sword light grazed past his throat...

Severing several strands of hair.

Only then did he barely evade that sword. He staggered to his feet and looked up in lingering terror.

Then he saw the boy walking upon the wind.

The breeze gathered beneath his feet into invisible steps, supporting him as he slowly descended from midair.

His robes fluttered lightly in the wind.

Like an exiled immortal descending into the mortal world.

At that moment, the captain's mind went blank.

He stared at that descending figure, every trace of reason and thought completely shattering in that instant.

Just what kind of monster was this?!

Walking upon the wind between heaven and earth.

Able to alter heaven and earth with every word and movement.

Was this boy a reincarnated god?!
