What is the least disruptive way to kill someone, yet still kill them instantly?
This is a question that Lu Changsheng has been pondering.
Finally, Lu Changsheng had a flash of inspiration and focused his attention on the silver needles.
The silver needles are sharp and small. If talismans are engraved on them and infused with the Power of Rules, they can achieve both concealment and a fatal blow.
The Annihilation Needle was invented by Lu Changsheng.
As it turned out, Lu Changsheng's idea was correct.
The seven men were still laughing and talking.
The burly man with the thick beard was getting into his story. "After this mission is over, I'll treat you all to a meal at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion when we get back..."
The silver needle pierced the back of his head.
The smile froze on his face.
The other six people were needled at almost the same time—the one who was meditating had a red mark between his eyebrows!
The two people who were chatting casually trembled slightly!
The three people in front of the gate of light collapsed simultaneously.
The two lurking in the shadows are the most vigilant, possessing a higher level of awareness.
The moment the silver needles touched their bodies, they seemed to sense something, and the array around them lit up.
But so what?
Lu Changsheng's silver needles are specifically designed to break through various protective Gang Qi and formations.
Moreover... even if they were able to detect something amiss and react, given their strength, it would only be a superficial emotional response.
There was simply no time to take any countermeasures.
The moment the needle touched the skin, the runes lit up, like a red-hot iron rod piercing through ice and snow, instantly shattering the protective Cultivation Method.
The two stared wide-eyed, wanting to shout, but no sound came out.
The soul is rapidly being annihilated.
They desperately tried to crush the communication jade talismans in their arms—these were specially made by the Holy Court, and once broken, the Holy Court would receive a message no matter where they were.
But my fingers simply wouldn't obey my commands.
Before their last bit of consciousness dissipated, they only saw a white-clad figure slowly emerge from the chaotic turbulence outside the Star Orbit trails.
Their pupils contracted sharply.
They never imagined that someone would emerge unscathed from the endless darkness beyond the Star Orbit, and even be able to silently and fatally strike them!
puff...
Two soulless corpses fell to the ground.
Lu Changsheng landed in front of the light gate, looked at the seven gradually cooling corpses, and frowned.
"The storage ring must be taken away, the body must be disposed of cleanly, and no traces must be left at the scene..."
The seven of them likely hold positions of considerable importance.
Therefore, the other party will definitely notice quickly and send someone over.
It needs to be fast, and the cleaning needs to be thorough...
He muttered to himself as he got to work.
First, he removed all seven people's storage rings and roughly erased the marks on them with his Divine Sense —after all, the people were dead, so the marks wouldn't resist much.
Then he took out a jade bottle and poured out a few drops of clear liquid.
The liquid fell onto the corpse, hissing, and in the blink of an eye, it turned the corpse, along with its clothes and Law Treasure, into a wisp of smoke.
Not even ashes remained.
Hmm... This is a specially made poison by Lu Changsheng, specifically used to destroy evidence of corpses.
It requires no effort and leaves no trace.
Still not satisfied, Lu Changsheng set up another purification array.
Make sure that even the slightest trace of blood or residual energy is completely removed.
Only after doing all this did he begin to examine the trap set up by the seven men.
"So it really is this crude..." Lu Changsheng muttered, "The person who set up this formation is really incompetent. I never expected the Holy Court's formation masters to be so weak."
Turning around, Lu Changsheng stood in front of the portal of light, hesitating for a moment.
"Should we go over and take a look?"
He extended his Divine Sense, passed through the portal, and quickly scanned the area on the other side of the Soaring Realm.
There were no abnormalities within a 100-mile radius.
"Alright, just to be on the safe side, let's scout ahead for those brats."
He then took out the scroll Chu Yan had given him and muttered, "Perfect opportunity to confirm if this map is accurate and genuine..."
Thinking about this...
Lu Changsheng took out a palm-sized puppet from his spatial ring and infused it with a wisp of Divine Sense.
The puppet took his form, passed through the portal, and soared through the skies above the Soaring Realm.
As expected,
The Spiritual Qi in the Soaring Realm is much denser than that in the Six Realms, but it is more than one level lower than that in the Changsheng Realm.
Here, it seems that the number of ordinary people has completely disappeared; almost everyone is able to embark on the path of cultivation.
Their overall strength is far greater than that of the Six Realms.
Under Lu Changsheng's perception.
If the Soaring Realm were to invade the Six Realms.
Without their help, we probably wouldn't have any chance to fight back.
Half a day later.
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes within the Star Orbit, but the puppet figure did not return...
"This Soaring Realm is truly vast; it took me half a day to complete the inspection."
If you're just taking a quick stroll, it won't take half a day.
The main purpose was to investigate all the factions on the map.
Including the Holy Court located in the Soaring Realm...
"Those brats really deserve a bow to me..."
Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, turned around and stepped into the Star Orbit, returning the way he came.
The entire process was completely silent.
From taking action to cleaning up the scene, and then returning to Star Orbit.
The Star Orbit remained silent.
The portal continued to flicker.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Only the traces of those seven people's existence were completely erased. Even if the Holy Court investigated later, they would only assume that they had deserted their posts or encountered an accident.
As Lu Changsheng walked back, he counted his spoils.
" The Holy Court people should have some good stuff in their spatial rings... Hmm? This is..."
He suddenly stopped and took out a token from a ring.
The token is completely black, with the word "holy" engraved on the front and a series of numbers on the back.
"Identity token?" Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes. "It needs to be disposed of."
He squeezed hard, but the token didn't budge.
"It's quite hard."
Lu Changsheng applied more force, and cracks appeared on the surface of the token, but it still did not break.
It wasn't until he used thirty percent of his power that the token turned to dust with a bang.
"The material is special; it's probably used for tracking," Lu Changsheng said thoughtfully. "It seems the Holy Court has very strict control over its subordinates."
He destroyed all items that might bear tracking marks, leaving only some pills and materials.
Only after doing all this did Lu Changsheng continue forward.
When Du Zhong returned to the Six Realms, he was dozing off by the Star Orbit Well.
"Resolved?" The old man didn't even open his eyes.
"Yes." Lu Changsheng nodded. "All seven people have been dealt with."
"No trace left?"
You think I'm like you?
Du Zhong then opened his eyes, looked Lu Changsheng up and down, and asked knowingly, "Are you alright?"
"It's impossible for them to get hurt." Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes. "Anyway, the road's cleared. When are they setting off?"
"Anytime," Du Zhong said, "But are you sure you don't want to go with them?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head and lay down.
"Can you let me have some peace and quiet?"
at the same time.
Inside a dark hall of the Holy Court of the Soaring Realm.
There are nine tokens on the wall.
If Lu Changsheng were here, he would definitely recognize that these nine tokens are exactly the same as those in the seven people's spatial rings!
At that moment, the last seven of the nine tokens shattered.
Inside the dark hall, seven bells rang in succession.
Its sound resounded throughout the entire Holy Court!
