"For the Holy Master!"
He suddenly sprung into action, his dagger unstintingly stabbing towards the short-haired youth in front of him. With a casual hand block, Lu Chenzhou deflected the dagger into the pool. His calm eyes carried a Tiger Power’s murderous energy as he reached out and seized the assailant by the throat.
The man’s face turned purple and he couldn’t breathe.
He struggled desperately to no avail.
Just as he was about to expire, he felt himself being flung away, then wrapped up by a long whip and brought before a long ponytailed girl. Chen Xiaoyun’s fingers struck, hitting the person’s Heavenly Rushing acupoint, and he promptly passed out.
"Xiaoyun, you know acupoint striking?"
Leopard Woman, still chewing gum, asked in surprise.
"I learned some from my grandfather, I know a little."
"Well, worthy of being from a Martial Arts Family."
The four of them proceeded with caution, occasionally chatting. After this practical training, their relationship had clearly grown much closer; they no longer held the same defensiveness as before. In school, competitive cultivation was still unambiguous, but when cooperation was needed, they approached their comrades with a sincere heart, truly displaying the temperament of martial artists.
At this time, the ordinary followers in the pavilion had been dealt with. One by one, they lay on the ground, moaning in pain, as the police took them away and loaded them into the vehicles. Although the genius class had few members, most of the followers had been subdued by them.
Suddenly, Leopard Woman’s ears twitched with alertness.
"There are footsteps coming, not far from us."
With the cultivation of Leopard Form and her naturally sensitive ears, Leopard Woman’s perception was extraordinarily sharp. Her figure flipped, and she rolled behind a fake mountain. Lu Chenzhou also halted, lightly leaping into a nearby small building, hiding around the corner. Old Tian climbed onto the eaves and lay flat, while Chen Xiaoyun hid behind a large willow tree.
Gunshots clashed, seemingly between two groups.
Lu Chenzhou’s expression shifted slightly.
"Even the cultists have guns..."
Two groups pursued each other to this place, darting back and forth, firing their weapons. Bullets ricocheted off the fake mountain, white walls, and railings, the scream of bullets was incessant.
Among them, a weirdo wearing a protective suit and a vicious green-scaled helmet, even holding a submachine gun, was firing wildly. He shot indiscriminately, his intense firepower pinning down the police on the other side of the arch bridge. The weirdo laughed maniacally:
"Ha ha ha, fucking exhilarating!"
"You motherfucker, you shot me."
Another weirdo dove into the water, cursing and swearing. These two were the Second Divine General and the Fourth Divine General, followers of the Incense Master for a long time, both with a strength comparable to Ninth Rank Martial Artists. With what they called Divine Arts, even those at the Extreme Limit Realm should not underestimate them.
Of course, the strongest among the thirteen Divine Generals was the First Divine General, who could match the Extreme Limit Realm. At that moment, he and the Third Divine General were being surrounded by Wang Hongdao’s four-person team.
On the police side, two first-level armed policemen, led by Xiao Liu, were exchanging gunfire with the weirdos while hiding behind cover. They also noticed Old Tian lying on the rooftop.
Before long, the Second Divine General ran out of bullets. He rolled away swiftly, tumbling several times before taking cover behind a fake mountain. Just as he settled in, his submachine gun was grabbed by a wheat-colored slender hand, which instantly dealt him a severe blow in the groin.
Leopard Woman’s mouth shot out a piece of gum like an arrow, sticking precisely to the Second Divine General’s left eye. Out of nowhere, she found a bag of lime and doused the Divine General’s face with it, then slapped his wet sleeve on his face with a sizzle, causing white smoke to rise as the Divine General screamed in agony holding his eyes. Leopard Woman took advantage of his distraction to take his gun. She also smoothly pilfered a box of cartridges from the weirdo, performed several flips to increase the distance, and then, cat-like, climbed a willow tree to reload.
Lu Chenzhou, observing secretly, thought to himself:
"I should also keep some lime handy in the future."
The Fourth Divine General underwater was shocked; he hadn’t expected there to be people hiding here. He aimed his handgun at Leopard Woman’s hiding spot, firing several shots, sending wood chips flying.
A whip lashed through the air, knocking the Fourth Divine General’s handgun flying over ten meters away into the water. Chen Xiaoyun struck with her whip and quickly concealed herself again.
The teamwork of the genius class was perfectly in sync.
"There are still experts."
The two Divine Generals panicked.
The Second Divine General muttered in his mouth.
The scales on his body suddenly vibrated buzzing, and then he spun around, his green scales shooting out like a hailstorm of pear blossom needles in all directions, burrowing into tree trunks, shattering stones, splashing water, and penetrating into nearby buildings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lu Chenzhou looked up and saw three streaks of light whiz over his head, two embedding into the wall in front, and one deflecting off metal before being bounced back. He slightly tilted his body to dodge.
"That was close, good thing I didn’t rush out." Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net
Lu Chenzhou examined the scale at his side, taking a careful look, but he didn’t dare touch it. Evil Skills were mysterious and unpredictable; if he contaminated himself with any sort of energy, it wouldn’t be good.
After a while, the scale suddenly softened and turned into a puff of green smoke that dissipated, leaving behind only a small piece of bloodied human flesh and tissue.
"Are these derived from the transformation of human organs? Truly bizarre, how can flesh and blood mutate so quickly? Martial Arts require enduring hundreds of trials; there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world. This kind of power obtained from external sources must have a tremendous price to pay."
Lu Chenzhou had no interest in the power of the cult.
He continued to hide, waiting for the right moment to act.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning cut across the night sky.
With the chill of the Daling acupoint surging like a tide, Lu Chenzhou suddenly looked towards the ceiling. Using the flash of lightning, he saw a green figure sprawled on the ceiling like a spider.
