Chapter 975: Distress Points That Ceased AbruptlyTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu was puzzled. When he entered the forest and encountered the notorious mercenary soldiers who had come from far away, he suddenly received a strange notification. “From Nie Ting’s distress.”

The second clause had disappeared!

This was the first time Lu Shu had experienced this. It was as if the distress points had ceased abruptly.

He felt that this was strange. Ever since he had come to the Luniverse, he had never received any distress points from Earth. Where did these distress points come from? Why did he only receive half of the information? Where were the numbers?

It was as if he had suddenly lost connection while browsing the internet. Luckily, he did not have OCD. If he did, he would have gone mad.

Wait… Lu Shu suddenly thought of one possibility. It was only a possibility. Was there a brief moment when the Luniverse was connected to Earth?

This seemed to be the most hopeful possibility. But Lu Shu did not know where the pathway was. If not, he would definitely have started looking for it.

In reality, when the army of mice pa.s.sed through the pathway, the waves of energy above Longmen Mountain completely disappeared. The pathway also disappeared.

According to Zhong Yutang’s judgment, the pathway would only open up again in a year’s time. But Zhong Yutang and the rest came up with a possibility. Did the progress in the magically rich era have something to do with this pathway? If this was the case, then the waves of energy that appeared above Longmen Mountain would not appear regularly. There would be times when it occurred more and more often.

Sun Zhongyang and the rest saw Lu Shu walk into the forest in a calm and unhurried manner. Suddenly, he stopped. Mo Xiaoya asked in doubt, “Do you think he is regretting this?”

“Doesn’t seem like it,” said Sun Zhongyang.

Not only were Sun Zhongyang and the rest puzzled, the mercenary soldiers in the forest also did not know why Lu Shu had suddenly stopped. Was he intentionally buying time for Sun Zhongyang and the rest?

But the next moment, Lu Shu suddenly rushed into the forest like a ghost. Lu Xiaoyu followed behind him.

Sun Zhongyang and the rest looked on helplessly as sword energy appeared from Lu Shu’s fingers. The sword energy came into contact with a tree branch, but it was not weakened by the impact. Instead, it sliced through the tree branch and landed on the mercenary soldier. Even his armor was not able to protect him.

The other armored soldiers looked coldly as their comrade fell to the ground. Suddenly, they started to pace around in the forest and alternate their formation to kill. They had no empathy for their comrade. They did not seem to have the slightest bit of fear either.

They had faced countless strong enemies over the years. But they were the ones who had survived in the end.

They were only two Rank Twos. Even if their swordplay was extraordinary, so what?

Lu Shu felt people staring at him and Lu Xiaoyu. Their gazes were cold and cruel. He had wanted to scare them, but did not expect them to be so experienced. They were used to a life where luxury and danger existed side by side.

Since he could not scare them away… Lu Shu sighed. “It looks like we have to commit a ma.s.sacre.”

After they entered the forest, Lu Xiaoyu thought about it. “Shall I handle that Rank One?”

“Take care of these people. Leave… the Rank One to me,” said Lu Shu.

He urgently needed a fight to break through his limit. Thus, while Sun Zhongyang and the rest saw Lu Shu as being driven by money, to Lu Shu, he was just conveniently earning money!

Sun Zhongyang and the rest had not fully recovered from their injuries. They had no power to take part in this kind of fight. Song Bo, who was not injured, wanted to partic.i.p.ate, but if he did, he would have to face the awkward situation of paying Lu Shu more money.

At first, Mo Xiaoya and the rest could not understand why Lu Shu was not willing to let Song Bo help them. But when they heard the wails of the mercenary soldiers in the forest, they realized that they were still underestimating Lu Shu.

The trees in the forest fell to the ground, producing a large cloud of smoke. This caused even the insects in the forest to run for their lives. It was as if a disaster was upon them.

At that moment, Sun Zhongyang and the rest realized that the wails in the forest had ceased. It was as if the fight had never happened.

“Is the fight over?” Sun Zhongyang and the rest were puzzled. “It can’t be that fast, right?”

“From the looks of it, they seem like they’re really done.” Song Bo was dumbfounded as well.

When Lu Shu told Lu Xiaoyu to take care of the other soldiers in the forest, the Bishop, Johnson, and Anthony had all appeared. Other than the Rank One expert among the mercenary soldiers, the rest had already been buried underground.

Putting Sun Zhongyang aside, even Lu Shu was slightly annoyed. To be honest, when the three spirits that Lu Xiaoyu controlled had advanced to Rank One, his abilities while the celestial map was locked up were a far cry from that of Lu Xiaoyu’s…

But Lu Shu smiled. It was not long before he advanced to Rank One.

The Rank One expert silently stood in the forest. He coldly looked at Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. He was steadfast and did not move. There was a ma.s.sive box of swords on his back with twelve swords inside. Lu Shu did not know what he had been through.

Although the Luniverse did not have many Metahumans that Lu Shu often saw on earth, this did not mean that everyone’s techniques were largely similar. On the contrary, they were diverse and varied.

Lu Xiaoyu found a st.u.r.dy tree branch and jumped up to sit on it. She did not seem nervous at all. People from the outside world thought that they were two Rank Twos, but it was the people who provoked them because of this who would suffer the most severe losses. For example, they would lose their lives.

Clang! There was a sharp sound from the box of swords. It was as if he was not afraid that he would not be able to escape when the rest of his comrades had died. He… did not even seem to be afraid of death. On the other hand, he grew more and more imposing.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoyu sat on the tree branch and leaned against the tree. She casually said, “Don’t fly into the air.” Then, she pointed at Lu Shu. “Fight him. If not, you will die.”

The soldier expressionlessly made eye contact with Lu Xiaoyu. For some reason, he sensed a strange aura from this young girl. It was a sense of tyranny and darkness that did not match her age. There was a conflicting spirit within her small body.

But he laughed coldly. His voice was steady and crude. “Him? A Rank Two? Are you making me practice with him? You try to use my life to threaten me, but you don’t know how difficult it has been for me to survive. If you had known, you would know the price to pay for taking my life away.”

Even in this life or death situation, the soldier was not scared. If you wanted to kill him, you would have to bury him alive.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw the young man calmly take a branch from a tree beside him. In that moment, it was as if he had created a sword.

The soldier looked on as the young man flashed a grin. “Then you wouldn’t know how difficult it has been for me to survive either.”
