Spare Me, Great Lord!

When Lu Shu realized that the leader of the assault team had strayed away from his team, he sensed that the time had come.

He slowly walked out of the forest and smiled at the five of them. The members of the assault team were surprised and bewildered. Lu Shu had been running for his life. Now, he had suddenly taken on the role of the hunter. They were not used to this. Furthermore… there was a sense of fear.

They knew clearly how their comrades had died. This young man was very direct when it came to killing. If you fell into his hands, you had no chance to escape.

The atmosphere in the forest mysteriously quietened down. The members of the assault troop all gripped their weapons tightly. But they did not dare to make the first move. They could only pause there and see what Lu Shu would do.

Lu Shu was silent for two seconds. He then spoke in English. “None of you are worthy of this uniform.”

“From Baldock Jones’ distress, +499…”

“From…”

Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. He felt at ease. As expected, they did not understand him previously!

The members of the assault troops did not expect that the first thing Lu Shu would say to them was the English translation of that sentence… was he crazy? Okay, we got it, we are not worthy of this uniform, please leave. Your presence is making us panic…

Someone whispered to their comrades, “Where’s our leader?”

“Didn’t he run away?” Some of them finally realized. When they were hoping for their leader to be the bait and lure Lu Shu in, their leader was also thinking the same.

Lu Shu laughed buoyantly. “Your way of thinking is too dark. You must always think on the bright side. I think he’s dead.”

“From Baldock Jones’ distress, +499…”

“From…”

The assault troops gasped in shock. If Lu Shu said so, then their leader might really be dead!

But their leader was a Class B expert. Was he killed after he had been gone for ten minutes? And there was no sound?!

In reality, that leader did not need the toilet. He did not want to run either. He wanted to stray away from his team and give Lu Shu the chance to kill the five of them.

The leader planned to secretly return and wait until Lu Shu was busy killing. He would use his troops as bait and create a chance for him to kill Lu Shu!

He knew that there was a high possibility that he would not win in a face-to-face battle with Lu Shu. Thus, he would sacrifice five of his comrades and attack him when he was at his weakest!

But… when the leader walked away, he walked into the direction where Lu Shu was hiding…

Lu Shu felt that this was fate…

While the leader was waiting in the outskirts, the Sparrow Shade was already silently approaching him. When Lu Shu determined that he could kill the leader, he did not hold back.

After the third star had been lit up, the Sparrow Shade had 288 strands. The 288 strands of Sparrow Shade were like ropes that hurried others to their death. They pierced through the body of the leader. The leader was shocked from the immense and immediate pain, and did not have any chance to struggle.

Lu Shu’s power could not be estimated simply by his class. When an expert like him wanted to launch an assault and came across the perfect opportunity, his opponents would not even have the time to scream.

The hunt had come to an end. The five Class C’s could not challenge Lu Shu. Furthermore, the earth-type Metahuman had died. Lu Shu did not have to worry about anyone escaping.

Lu Shu had the ability to kill these five Class C’s. If he was not afraid that people would run away, Lu Shu would not have to go through so much trouble.

He silently sighed and looked at the mess on the battlefield. Four days had passed since he entered the Changbai Mountains. Lu Shu had forgotten how many people had been killed by him. He did not care either.

The Heavenly Network needed someone to create a crack in the battlefront, and Lu Shu had done so. Then, he had to do more important things now… he had to find a way to find the controller who was behind all this.

Lu Shu felt that this war could only end once he found this person. Or, finding this person would relieve Lu Shu of the weight on his chest.

His and Lu Xiaoyu’s secrets were far too important, especially Lu Xiaoyu’s ability to collect souls. No one could know about it.

In the past, Lu Shu had felt that everyone did not care much about the afterlife. It was not important even if people could reincarnate. They just had to live this life well.

But after the dawn of the magically rich era, warriors became more particular about this. It was as if a character from the myths had appeared. Phrases such as reincarnation that appeared in the myths seemed more realistic. Some even believed that after they died, they could learn the ways of a ghost.

Of course, what was most important was that Lu Xiaoyu’s technique was too much of a taboo.

There were scenic spots in the Changbai Mountains, but because of the war in the realm of cultivation, all these spots had been closed off. Lu Shu slowly walked towards the scenic spots. He did not want to admire the scenery and sit on the ferris wheel. It was because… there was a cellular network there…

Lu Shu hummed Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as he walked in the forest. If he encountered any overseas Practitioners, they would be killed by the Sparrow Shade.

The Sparrow Shade accompanied Lu Shu and killed the overseas Metahumans with great ease. The grey strands flew among the trees. It was as scary as a demon king traveling.

Far away at the Heavenly Network campsite, You Mingyu and the rest were discussing and resolving issues about their strategies. Suddenly, his phone rang.

He was about to begin a meeting. You Mingyu wanted to hang up the phone at such an important time, but when he saw the caller, he decided to pick up. “Hello, where are you?!”

The rest of them were puzzled. You Mingyu was not the kind to pick up the phone during a meeting.

You Mingyu listened to the call. His expression slowly darkened. “Okay. I got it. We will be careful.”

Lu Shu suddenly said, “Standardize a code. In three days, I will kill all those who cannot show me the code. I will say, ‘The Emperor will defeat the tigers’.”

You Mingyu was dumbfounded. “Then what do we say?”

Lu Shu said, “Ten is ten, four is four. Fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty. You cannot say that fourteen is forty. You cannot say that forty is fourteen ¹ …”

You Mingyu was confused.

“From You Mingyu’s distress, +666!”

“Ha ha, I’m joking.” Lu Shu said, “I need to go somewhere else now. But decide on a code among yourselves to prevent assault troops from infiltrating.”

“Wait, where are you going?” You Mingyu suddenly asked in a panic. “Hello? Hello!”

The call had ended. Lu Shu did not reply to his last question.

You Mingyu turned and said to everyone in the meeting, “The Ninth Heavenly King has said that there was an assault team led by a Class B in the Changbai Mountains. All of them are Asian. They are at least Class C’s.”

The others were shocked. This kind of assault team would be very fatal to the Heavenly Network. Someone suddenly asked, “Where is this troop? Let’s go kill them!”

You Mingyu said, “The Ninth Heavenly King has killed all of them.”

The people in the command center looked at one another helplessly. The title of the Ninth Heavenly King was very strange, as the Ninth Heavenly King had been a very mysterious existence.

Now that he had made his move, everyone was shocked.

One Class B and nine Class C’s had all been killed!

Was the Ninth Heavenly King really just a Class B? He must be a Class A!
