"Did you see their speed? Holy cow, I've never seen anyone run so fast at Tier 2!"
"That's an exaggeration!"
"More than an exaggeration, it's just ridiculous!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Wang Qibing, as the camp commander, walked out with a deep frown. He looked at the four people sitting on the ground, recovering their senses, then at the approaching beasts outside, his frown deepening even further.
Noticing the gazes, the four also subconsciously looked at Wang Qibing. Seeing his deep frown and the thousands of people around, they couldn't help but feel confused. The beast tide had arrived, so why weren't they going out?
Lu Chenxing's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.
"Hello, may I ask what exactly is going on right now?" Lu Chenxing stood up, his legs trembling slightly, and asked.
Wang Qibing glanced at him and didn't hide anything, because everyone knew the current situation. "The spatial passage at the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm has been interfered with by a force. We can't leave temporarily. It's expected to return to normal in about fifteen minutes."
As soon as he said this, Lu Chenxing's heart sank. Sure enough, it was because they couldn't get out that so many people were in the camp. This also meant that if they wanted to leave, they would have to survive fifteen minutes amidst the beast tide!
...
At this moment, at the Secret Realm entrance outside, a technology-oriented Scholar from the military was sweating profusely, debugging a machine, while Zhan Wushuang watched coldly from the side, the imposing aura of a Tier 6 expert making it difficult to breathe.
"Reporting, Mayor, the passage is expected to return to normal in fifteen minutes!" A moment later, that technology-oriented Scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Hmm, is there a way to speed up this process?" Zhan Wushuang's tone was flat.
"This... I'm afraid not, because the force disturbing the space is close to Tier 6. Although it's slowly dissipating, this process cannot be accelerated. If interfered with by other forces, an explosion might occur!"
After a pause, that Scholar added, "Unless we invite a Tier 6 Time-element Mage or a Cultivator who has comprehended the rules of time to act..."
A Tier 6 Time-element Mage, a Cultivator who has comprehended the rules of time? Such talents are extremely rare, almost all of them are in the Zhu Tian Battlefield. How can they be invited? By the time they arrive, it would be too late!
Zhan Wushuang lowered his gaze slightly, and after a moment, said, "Can you identify whose power is interfering with this spatial passage?"
"Yes, the other party had no intention of hiding. I can say with certainty that this power belongs to a Tier 6 beast, the King of Mad Blood!" That Scholar said decisively.
A moment later, on a road in the suburbs of Loshen City, a middle-aged man wearing a red baseball cap and a Young Man in a black vest walked side by side.
That Young Man sighed faintly, "I still can't accept that the divine object bestowed by Our God was used on a Tier 1 kid like that. What a waste!"
"You should speak less. Since Our God wants that kid to die, and is willing to pay such a price, there must be a reason. We just need to execute the mission," the middle-aged man said indifferently, with his hands in his pockets.
However, it was not difficult to tell from his tone that he also felt it was a bit of a waste. It was just a Tier 1 kid, who could be crushed with a casual flick.
As he was thinking this, the surrounding space suddenly froze, and the air seemed to be instantly sucked out. In an instant, a blade light, like a bolt of silk, descended from the sky, striking down on the two of them!
When the blade light disappeared, a blade mark dozens of meters long and bottomless appeared on the ground, its chilling blade intent making one's spine tingle, but no bodies were seen!
A moment later, dozens of meters away, a blood-red crack appeared in space, and the two stumbled out of the space, seemingly having used some secret technique to escape.
Although they didn't die, both of them had injuries of varying degrees. That Young Man in the black vest had a blade mark across his entire back, constantly oozing fresh blood.
And the middle-aged man wearing the red baseball cap had a deep, bone-visible wound on his shoulder. At this moment, he looked at the man who appeared with the blade light, and gritted his teeth, snarling, "Zhan Wushuang!"
As he spoke, signs of mutation began to appear on his body. His eyes gradually turned blood-red, his blood vessels bulged, filled with a chaotic aura, and his strength had clearly reached Tier 5!
He knew it would be difficult to escape from Zhan Wushuang, so he wanted to fight to the death.
The cold-faced Zhan Wushuang's eyes, like blades, revealed undisguised killing intent. The aura of a late-stage Tier 6 martial artist was released without reservation. Looking at the two in front of him, he placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade again and softly chanted, "A shepherd's flute startles the white egrets, spring rain reflects the setting sun."
As the long blade was unsheathed, the sound of a shepherd's flute echoed, and Zhan Wushuang instantly disappeared, only continuous blade lights like spring rain flashing, bringing with them streaks of blood-red like the setting sun.
When the spring rain stopped and the setting sun fell, Zhan Wushuang reappeared. The heads of the two men flew, their bodies covered in countless wounds, large and small. They were dead beyond dead. He sheathed his blade and said without looking back, "Dispose of the bodies. I'll go watch the teleportation gate."
He Shuqing's figure quietly appeared beside the two mutilated corpses, and she respectfully said, "Yes, Mayor."
When the words "King of Mad Blood" appeared, Zhan Wushuang knew that this operation was once again directed at Lu Chenxing. It wasn't for any other reason, but still because of Lu Chenxing's two blue cards, which were only Tier 1 but could remove abnormal statuses.
The King of Mad Blood has a very difficult point to deal with: if any creature gets its blood on them, they will contract Blood Frenzy, becoming extremely aggressive and gradually losing their sanity, unless you are also Tier 6 and can directly use the power of rules to erase this effect.
If this effect is not removed in time, by the time sanity is completely lost, the soul will also be infected, making it impossible to recover.
It was precisely because of this point that many Tier 3 and even Tier 4 warriors, when campaigning against the King of Mad Blood and its Little World, contracted Blood Frenzy. Because they couldn't be treated in time on the battlefield, the final casualties were very high.
Although the King of Mad Blood was severely wounded that time, at the last moment, it ignited its own blood, and the chaotic aura infected most of the warriors. To reduce casualties, they could only retreat in the end, ultimately ending in failure. Now, there has been no campaign against its Little World for a long time.
And Lu Chenxing's appearance is the Hope to break this stalemate! His cards can now remove Tier 1 and Tier 2 abnormal statuses, so what about Tier 3 and Tier 4 later? Can they also?
This is also what Zhan Wushuang Hopes for. He is waiting for Lu Chenxing's strength to become stronger, and then let him try. He didn't even dare to report it upwards, because he was afraid that it would all be for nothing in the end!
But he never expected that the Church of the Myriad Gods would be the first to act. After the Plague Envoy, the Mad Blood Envoy attacked Lu Chenxing again, even at the cost of sending its own source power!
Although Lu Chenxing should be safe with the talisman given by Principal Bai, Zhan Wushuang was still not at ease until he saw him!
