"Number eight, explode!" the Officiator growled.
"Boom!!"
Lu Sheng's arms exploded in a huge ball of red fire. It was as if something had exploded on his arms, and the huge impact forced him to retreat.
"Number seven, explode!" The red light in the Officiator's eyes grew thicker and thicker as he casually swept his copper staff from left to right.
"Boom!!"
Another ball of fire exploded on Lu Sheng's body. The force of the explosion was so great that even with Lu Sheng's hard body skills, a wound appeared on the left side of his waist. Blood slowly seeped out of the charred wound, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.
"Number six, explode!" The copper staff in the Officiator's hand slowly began to glow with a faint red light. From head to toe, the entire staff seemed to be burning red, getting redder and brighter.
"Boom!!"
Lu Sheng's huge body was blasted backward into a thick tree trunk. The trunk cracked and slowly fell to the ground.
"Number five …" the Officiator looked at Lu Sheng with a hint of mockery. "Explode!"
"Rumble!!"
Another explosion, even more powerful, exploded from Lu Sheng's chest. The blazing fire engulfed more than half of his chest.
"Finally, end it. Number four." The Officiator raised his copper staff and pointed it at Lu Sheng. "Explode …"
"Die!!!"
With a loud bang, Lu Sheng suddenly appeared in front of him like a wild beast. His eyes were bloodshot, his arms crossed, and he landed viciously on the Officiator's chest.
Almost at the same time, a ball of fire even bigger and stronger than before exploded on Lu Sheng's body.
"Rumble!!"
Both of them flew backward at the same time.
The Officiator spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, wounded by this sneak attack. His feet slid across the ground, and as soon as he steadied himself, he stabbed the red copper staff into the ground. His muscles swelled wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he was more than two meters tall.
"Third Coiling Dragon!!" He roared. The dragon pattern on his chest armor seemed to come to life. Silver light shot out and shone on the copper staff, adding a coiling dragon to it. The entire staff was more than twice as thick as before, like a spiked club.
"Ultimate Crimson Nine-Fury! Divine might!! " Lu Sheng's huge figure appeared in front of him at the same time. He clasped his palms together and slammed them down fiercely.
Buzz!
The copper rod and the palm collided, and the ground exploded where the two collided. Some of the nearby trees and leaves broke and exploded. A circle of ripples slowly spread out.
"You …!" The veins on the Officiator's forehead bulged. This was the first time he had stared at Lu Sheng so closely. "You actually hid it so deeply. With your strength, why would you be willing to be a normal gang leader? "
"Heh …" Lu Sheng grinned, and the muscles on his body swelled up. "You're … weaker than I thought …" He had detonated a drop of liquefied inner Qi earlier. Now, a circle of hot air spread out from his body in all directions. Only then did he erupt completely.
"!??" Before the officiant could understand what was happening, he felt the power of the copper rod increase exponentially.
A hot wind blew out from Lu Sheng's body.
Pa.
He actually grabbed the copper rod with one hand. His other hand slowly loosened and reached for his head.
"You … How is this possible!!?" The Officiator's pupils shrank, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"Goodbye." A hint of a smile appeared on Lu Sheng's blood-stained face.
"Poof!"
His arm suddenly sped up, piercing through the Officiator's face and coming out from behind.
"ROAR!!!"
The Officiator's head was pierced through, and a furious roar came from his body.
The dragon tattoo on his chest suddenly exploded, turning into a huge force that blasted Lu Sheng's arms away. He retreated quickly, and swung his staff at Lu Sheng's head.
Caught off guard, Lu Sheng raised his arms and blocked the staff head-on.
"Bam!!"
Both of them took another step back.
"Hahahaha!! Awesome! Awesome!! " Lu Sheng's right arm drooped limply. It was obviously fractured. Bone-deep wounds covered his body, and his skin was charred black.
The Officiator's entire head was smashed, and he was trying to quickly regenerate. Unfortunately, a strong wave of scorching inner Qi kept burning and cutting, preventing him from regenerating his head.
"Today, one of us will die!!" A low roar came from inside his body. The Officiator gripped his staff with both hands and charged at Lu Sheng.
The latter laughed wildly, and met him head-on.
Bam bam bam bam!!
Amidst the violent explosions and loud noises, the two of them smashed at each other all the way. Neither of them dodged. Given their explosive speed and the effects of their secret skills, dodging was meaningless, and it was easy to lose the initiative. So, the two of them simply attacked each other.
Blood and minced meat flew everywhere, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Peng, who was barely able to drag his heavily injured body, wanted to crawl far away to recover and escape. However, he was grazed by the Officiator's explosion. His already weak body was heavily injured again, and he could not move at all.
His eyes were filled with horror as he watched the two monsters fighting in the forest.
Barbaric, bloody, and without a care in the world.
Even a Nobleman like him, who was used to seeing Demonic Ghosts slaughtering, felt his scalp go numb.
Trees fell one after another, the ground was turned up, and there were charred pits of all sizes everywhere. Fire ignited the forest, and thick smoke began to billow out, spreading into the surroundings.
The battle between Lu Sheng and the Officiator was reaching its climax.
He had unleashed all his strength and detonated a drop of liquefied inner Qi. The result was that he was locked in a stalemate with the Officiator, who had also unleashed his full strength. But they were both in a battle of attrition.
He knew that now that he had been discovered by the Officiator, he must not be allowed to leave this place alive. Once he did, Ashoka Manor would surely hunt him down with all their might.
Right now, he was completely powerless against the entire Ashoka Manor.
Therefore, he could only win this battle. He could not afford to lose!!
With a loud bang, the two of them separated once again.
A bowl-sized wound appeared on one of Lu Sheng's thighs. The flesh inside was gone, as if it had been bitten off by something. This was the opening caused by the Officiator's explosion.
The Officiator's lower abdomen had a massive hole, punched through by Lu Sheng's arm.
"Huff … huff … huff …!"
Lu Sheng panted heavily as he stared fixedly at the Officiator, who was recovering rapidly.
He was indeed a top-notch expert of the Six-Vein Level. He could still recover so quickly from such a serious injury, and it looked as if he had not suffered any major damage.
"So this is a Noble Family … the level above Bind …" Lu Sheng lowered his head to look at his fractured arm and the bowl-sized wound on his thigh.
There was no sign of rapid healing at all.
The Officiator noticed this as well. He stared at Lu Sheng from afar, a strange expression on his face.
"I didn't break your black membrane … why don't you have the ability to recover?"
Lu Sheng lifted his head to look at him, a strange smile on his face.
"Why don't you take a guess?"
"Are you humiliating me!?" The Officiator roared in a low voice, his beard bristling.
"Humiliating?" Lu Sheng straightened up, the muscles all over his body expanding once more.
His height of nearly three meters actually grew once more.
"You and I have already fought to this point. Humiliating you is the same as humiliating myself. Do you think I'm that bored? "
He looked at the puzzled Officiator and suddenly laughed softly.
"I won't recover. The real reason …"
"Hiss!!"
His temples arched, forming two bulging horns, one long and one short. The muscles on his back expanded, and a row of grayish-black muscles shot out like spikes.
His height of nearly three meters expanded, growing taller and taller. In the blink of an eye, he was five meters tall.
"Hiss!"
The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth split open, revealing sharp white teeth that had changed shape. Two rows of sharp teeth densely packed together. He no longer looked like a human, but like some ferocious carnivorous dragon.
"The real reason … is, of course …"
Lu Sheng's terrifying body suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared less than half a meter in front of the Officiator.
"… I don't have black membrane at all!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
The earth shook. All living things within a ten-mile radius could feel the ground tremble violently.
In the forest, Lu Sheng's two-meter-thick black arm pressed the Officiator's entire body onto the grass below.
A huge pit with a diameter of seven to eight meters had appeared on the ground.
In the middle of the pit, the Officiator's torso had been completely smashed into minced meat, leaving only his recently recovered head and two legs intact.
The wrought copper rod in his hand was bent beyond recognition. The flesh and blood on his body mixed with the black leather armor he wore, making it impossible to distinguish between leather armor and flesh.
"You think you'll be fine after killing me?" The Officiator's expression was ferocious. "The Prefecture Master will avenge me! You'll die too! Soon! Soon! I'll be waiting for you!! "
"Are these your last words?" An invisible ball of inner Qi suddenly exploded in Lu Sheng's hand, directly igniting the Officiator's entire body.
With a whoosh, the flames lit up, and the Officiator's entire body slowly melted in the crimson flames. However, his eyes still stared maliciously at Lu Sheng, as if cursing him with his life.
Finally, Lu Sheng looked in Zhang Peng's direction.
"Bam!"
He casually smashed the trunk of a tree beside him. Amidst a large amount of sawdust, half of the trunk spiraled and smashed into Zhang Peng's body.
The black membrane on his body had long since been broken. As the trunk smashed into him, Zhang Peng's entire body trembled violently. He raised his head and spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood. His eyes gradually glazed over, and finally, he stopped breathing.
Lu Sheng let out a long breath. His swollen body gradually returned to normal Yang Extreme Mode, and then quickly returned to his normal, strong body.
From the center of the pit, he slowly picked up a dark yellow piece of copper. There were faint, strange patterns on its surface.
This was what the Officiator had left behind along with his copper rod after his death.
Unlike the Emissaries from before, the four of them did not leave behind anything with Yin Qi. Perhaps they had been burned away by the powerful inner Qi. But this time, there was finally something to be gained.
Lu Sheng picked up the item and walked to Zhang Peng. He tore off his clothes to cover himself, then hurriedly left the place and headed back in the direction of the Crimson Whale.
After sprinting for about an hour, Lu Sheng finally returned to the Crimson Whale. He entered the sanctuary and shut the door. Finally, he could not hold it in any longer.
"Bam!"
His vision darkened, and he fell forward onto the ground.
He was too tired.
And in too much pain.
After detonating one drop of liquefied Qi, he detonated the remaining two drops of liquefied Qi. Even his body, which had attained full mastery in hard body skills, could not take it. Add to that the frenzied battle with the Officiator, it was already a miracle that he had managed to survive until now.
