The inspector turned back to look at the human sphere and shook his head slightly. Even he would have a hard time escaping from a Black Monk's embrace.
He turned around and slowly walked into the distance. As for whether Lu Sheng would die or not, he didn't care. That wasn't his responsibility anyway. What he said before was just a lie.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from behind him.
The inspector turned around and looked behind him.
A white crack had appeared on the surface of the human sphere.
"This is …!?" He squinted his eyes.
"Kaboom!!!"
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out, and the human sphere exploded. Dozens of black monks were blasted away like afterimages, crashing into the surrounding walls with a loud rumble. The surroundings were instantly filled with dust and debris, as well as the fallen paint on the walls.
Large amounts of True Qi turned into white smoke and dissipated. Where the human sphere used to be, Lu Sheng stood up, holding his sword with both hands. He had an ape's back and a wasp's waist. His clothes were torn apart, revealing his bulging muscles. The surface of his muscles was covered in blood-red web-like patterns. He looked strange and ferocious.
Originally, Lu Sheng had the body of a normal person, but now he was about two meters tall. His messy black hair was like a lion's mane, flowing in the wind behind him.
After cutting open the human sphere, Lu Sheng looked at where the sapphire was. Only then did he realize that the sapphire was gone.
The air outside was filled with strange energies. His perception of energy wasn't as sharp as before. That was why he didn't notice that the sapphire was gone.
"The sapphire was taken by someone," the inspector said calmly.
"I found it first," Lu Sheng said calmly.
"I'm just an inspector. Whoever found it first has nothing to do with me." The inspector's expression was still calm. "I advise you to leave. No matter how strong you are, the Midnight Bell Ringer will come soon."
Lu Sheng stared at the man and was silent for a while.
"If I find out that you're lying, I'll tear you apart." Deep in his calm eyes, a terrifying vortex swirled.
The inspector was silent.
Lu Sheng turned around and walked in the direction of another Necromancer Hammer. He still needed to collect the three Hammers of Necromancy, ring the Bell of the Underworld as soon as possible and leave this place.
"Try it if you can." Suddenly, the low voice of the inspector came from behind him.
Pa.
Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks.
In an instant, he turned around, drew his saber, jumped, and slashed vertically.
"Rip!"
Several movements were completed in one go, and a silver full moon exploded in midair. "Die!!!!"
The inspector quickly raised his arms in front of him.
Clang!
A circle of gray ripples exploded between the two of them. A few pieces of white armor exploded and shot out, embedding themselves into the side wall.
With a crack, the ground several meters under the inspector's feet cracked open like a spider web.
Lu Sheng's blade flashed continuously, drawing several silver lines between the two of them. The pure strength of Bind mixed with True Qi produced a force that even the examiner couldn't ignore.
His strength had already reached the level of Three-Vein Level, but in the face of Lu Sheng's tricky attacking angles and extremely fast slashing speed, he could only dodge repeatedly.
"That's all you've got?" Lu Sheng struck out with his palm, slapping his saber.
With a crisp crack, the saber shattered, and countless shards shot out, all hitting the inspector.
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of me??"
Bam!
He kicked sideways, and his right leg smashed into the inspector's waist like a long whip.
Black membrane appeared on the inspector's body, and after a few violent ripples, it exploded. His entire body flew to the side, and his head slammed into the wall on the side. His body was covered in blood.
"Die!" Lu Sheng chased after him, striking at the inspector's head with his palm.
"Jade Peak Pierce!" Only then did the inspector recover from his combo. Shocked and angry, he flipped his right hand and sent three light green spikes flying toward Lu Sheng.
At the same time, he twisted his waist, and his belt automatically pulled out, straightened, and turned into a longsword. He slashed at Lu Sheng ten times.
The sword light and the three green spikes were like green flowers blooming slowly, pure and beautiful.
"Boom!"
A giant rock as tall as a man smashed into the green flowers, the spikes shattered, and the sword light dispersed. The inspector spat out a mouthful of blood, and the spinning giant rock smashed into his face.
His nose and mouth, which were covered by a mask, were smashed into pieces. Half of his face was completely caved in, mixed with the pieces of the mask.
The giant rock pressed down on the inspector, and smashed him against the wall. Only after crashing through two walls did the rock loosen a little.
Lu Sheng threw away the saber in his hand, looked at the inspector from afar, and was about to stab him one last time.
Suddenly, the paper in his hand glowed white. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned around and left.
The inspector struggled to prop his head up, and looked in the direction he was going. Finally, he fainted, and didn't know what happened after that.
"Damn, I've lost big this time!" This was the last thought he had before he fainted. He had accepted the Song family's money, but not only did he not take care of them, he almost …
"Bam."
"Bam."
"Bam."
Just then, a series of heavy footsteps came from afar.
A green light appeared on the inspector's forehead, and he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had become a different person. He looked expressionlessly in the direction of the sound, and struggled to break free from the rock. He turned around, dragged his broken body, and ran away.
Just as he turned into an alley, a loud, heavy breathing sound came from the direction of the square.
…
Lu Sheng moved forward quickly, tearing down walls as he came across them. If he came across a house, he would take the roof, and if he came across a tall building, he would take the side.
After passing through a large area of single-story houses, he suddenly looked back.
"Hum."
A strong monster carrying a giant stone pillar was sweeping through the area, grabbing all the living people hiding in the houses, squeezing them into a ball, and chewing them.
This monster was humanoid, five meters tall, and its body was covered in dark red horseshoe-shaped marks. It wore a large black cloth on its head, and it looked like a big bag, tied around its neck.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He could feel the huge amount of strange energy from the monster. That energy was definitely above Bind level. On the surface, he shouldn't be able to defeat it.
"Is it slowly forcing its way through?" He noticed that the monster wasn't moving fast, and was moving slowly.
When he noticed this, Lu Sheng turned around and increased his speed. He charged toward the next Necromancy Hammer.
After sprinting for a few minutes, Lu Sheng saw another statue of a horse. The mouth of the horse shone with a faint blue light.
He walked up and quickly grabbed the blue gem out of the horse's mouth. Then, he didn't even look at the statue with black smoke coming out of it. His speed was extremely fast, and he jumped onto the roof in a few leaps, rushing toward the third hammer.
This was the correct way to deal with it. Get the gem and run, not stay and kill it slowly. After understanding this, Lu Sheng sped up even more. Soon, the third hammer appeared.
A humanoid monster with three wolf heads, wearing brown leather armor and holding a chain hammer guarded the side.
Lu Sheng's speed was extremely fast. With a little bit of True Qi, he sped up under his feet. Then, he casually threw out three rocks, hitting the three werewolves from three different parts of their bodies.
"Roar!"
The three werewolves got up angrily, looking around for suspicious people.
While they weren't paying attention, Lu Sheng pounced from the side, easily dug out the blue gem on the wall, and ran.
The three werewolves reacted quickly, smashing their hammers at Lu Sheng's back.
Unfortunately, despite their strength, Lu Sheng's physical body was terrifying. The Scarlet Jade level he was pretending to be took the hit head-on. First, he used True Qi to protect his body, and then when the True Qi dissipated, his physical body took the hit head-on. He didn't use any Devil Essence or Inner Qi, and his skin only turned a little red before returning to normal.
Scarlet Jade level meant that without True Qi, he had the terrifying physical body of a Bind level. Once he used True Qi and used the strength of his physical body, the effect was not something that could be broken by a hasty hammer strike.
Lu Sheng used the force to charge forward. He stepped on the top of the wall and flew dozens of meters like a rocket before looking up at a huge, pitch-black bell.
This bell was more than ten meters tall and eight meters wide. It hung silently in an empty space in the middle of the temple, and the stone pillars around it were covered in dark yellow talismans.
None of the other four had arrived yet. Lu Sheng was the first to charge at the Bell of Death, and he threw the three blue gems in front of him.
Crack!
Three bolts of blue lightning exploded.
Dong! Dong! Dong …!
The bell rang three times, and the sound spread throughout the entire Black Seal Temple.
Whoosh!
A circle of light enveloped Lu Sheng in midair, and he instantly vanished from where he stood.
Everything fell silent.
Moments later …
"This test shouldn't be too difficult for you," a voice said slowly.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes. He was surrounded by a blinding white light, and he couldn't open his eyes for now. He could only wait quietly and listen to his surroundings.
"It really isn't difficult," he replied.
The white light faded, and Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He was still in the temple, but he had returned to the one in the Autumn Moon County. He was in the hall he had entered before, surrounded by monks sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures.
In front of him stood a tall man shrouded in white armor.
"Your test results still need to be reviewed a second time. Go back and wait for news. You will be notified after it's passed, "the armored man instructed.
"Understood."
"Also, you will enter the Black Seal Temple again in the future. If you find anything unusual inside, remember to report it to the elders. It will be very helpful to us," the armored man reminded.
"What? Is the Black Seal Temple not one of the outer worlds we conquered? "Lu Sheng froze.
"No, to be exact, we are advancing. That world is dark and hopeless, almost in a state of doomsday. The Black Seal Temple is just a corner. Our investigation progress is extremely slow. This was originally an exploration mission for the frontlines, but because of the Devil Army, the frontlines had to temporarily suspend the exploration mission and focus on fighting the Devil Emperor, "the armored man explained patiently.
"I understand. Thank you, brother." Lu Sheng cupped his fists.
"No need to thank me. If you have the chance in the future, just save a few of our comrades." The armored man's voice was filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
"Of course." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Go, go out and relax. Good wine, beautiful women, gambling, killing, whatever you want, don't restrict yourself. Otherwise, you will become more and more twisted as time goes on, "the armored man reminded.
"I understand …" Lu Sheng nodded. He suddenly understood where the Great Yin's center of gravity was. They couldn't even finish exploring the outer worlds, let alone the Devil Emperor. The Great Yin's military power was always insufficient. Naturally, they didn't have the power to invade the neighboring countries.
