Chapter 136 - 0136: Annihilation (2200 supplement, two more ask for monthly tickets!)
Night fell.
Outside the camp of Gered’s gang.
As seasoned criminals, they were very cautious, setting up guards around the perimeter.
The bonfires gradually died out, and the cries of the Gaosuo women were drowned out by the gang members’ curses and lashes.
Under the glow of the moon and stars, the plains were quiet. Many gang members had fallen into deep sleep.
Su Lu looked at the guards on duty, not making a move immediately.
With his passive ability, Agile Steps LVI, he could have easily sneaked up on them for a throat-slit assassination.
But he didn’t do anything, he just quietly lay on the ground, his soul momentarily leaving his body.
In an instant, numerous colourful Mental Secret Realms appeared before him.
Most of them were ordinary people’s orbs of light, but there was a small floating island and a terrifying entity next to it that was several times larger.
“There is a rank-one, a rank-three, and nine elite gunmen around… We would not stand a chance if we attacked head-on,” Su Lu thought to himself.
The corner of Su Lu’s mouth turned up into a smile as he approached the orb of an elite gunman.
Entering the second layer of the Spirit World, invading the mind, is of course not as simple as stealing some memories.
Su Lu broke into a gunman’s mind and a formidable spirit oppression descended.
At his current level, a common person’s mind defense was practically like a paper wall.
In an instant, the palace and guards that stood before him dissipated, revealing a man with a face full of fear.
Su Lu stepped forward, grabbed his throat, and every question he asked was immediately answered.
From this man named Bal, Su Lu obtained a lot of information about Gered’s gang. Not to mention the numerous crimes Bal had committed, which alone was enough to have him hanged several times.
“Disappear…”
After doing all this, Su Lu didn’t leave immediately. A Spirit Chain appeared in his hand, its pale sharp pyramid directly piercing Bal’s chest. The subconscious core offered no resistance and instantly shattered.
Su Lu sneered and left the Secret Realm.
In the Mental Realm, he reached out his hand, squeezed it, and forcefully crushed it.
Representing Bal’s Mental Secret Realm, it fell into ruin.
“If a person’s mind gets destroyed, what’s left? Just a mass of flesh and blood!”
This meant that, in the real world, Bal had become a vegetable and would never wake up again.
“It seems… destruction is much easier than creation, but unfortunately, there’s no experience… ordinary people can no longer provide me with experience points. ”
Su Lu then moved onto the minds of a few other gang members, turning each and every one of them into vegetables.
This ability to silently harm people was scarcely different from that of the Fierce Ghosts.
Moreover, being in a vegetative state was not considered actual death, and since they were still sleeping, there were no visible changes from the outside. “This is the terror of a real ghost… Unable to see, and even sense, yet it can harm or even kill someone!”
After taking down eight gang members, Su Lu turned his gaze to the floating island of the rank-one occupational person.
“With my current abilities, I can’t completely destroy such a Secret Realm, but I can inflict deep damage… after taking him out, there will be only Iron Fist Rus and the sentinel left.”
Having thought of this, Su Lu soul returned to his body and said to Geli next to him: “Get ready… I will take out the sentinel soon, proceed as planned!”
“Alright!”
Geli calmly responded, pulling a gun into her hands.
For some reason, she had a lot of trust in Su Lu, which was why she agreed to this slightly crazy plan.
Wasn’t it already crazy enough for a rank-one and rank-two occupational person to challenge a rank-three expert?
“Then… let’s start! Three, two, one!”
Su Lu gave the signal, and instantly went into Soul Trance, demolishing the sentinel’s Mental Secret Realm.
Geli in reality watched in astonishment as the patrolling gang member grunted, his eyes rolled back in his head, and he collapsed.
Seeing this, she didn’t hesitate, mounted her horse, and charged towards the gang members’ camp.
Clop! Clop!
The thundering of hooves tore through the night, breaking the original peace.
The camp was in chaos and a few of the Gaosuo women slaves began to cry out. But this time, there were no gang members to silence them with their whips.
“What’s going on?”
The nominal leader of this group, a rank-one member of a profession, stood up and kicked his companion next to him, only to find he was laying flat on the ground as if dead.
“Enemy attack! ! ! ”
He shouted, noticing that the gang members around him were in the same state, a chill climbing up his spine.
What kind of thing or ability could silently take down so many people?
But he had no more time to think.
A terrifying feeling began to spread from his mind.
“Someone… someone is invading my mind!”
He cried out in horror.
The next moment, he was holding his head and screaming.
Although Su Lu couldn’t completely destroy a rank-one occupational person’s Mental Secret Realm, he could cause some damage!
And in reality, this resulted in the injured party’s soul suffering and screams being the lightest consequence.
Bang!
Geli charged into the camp unhindered, encountering no resistance whatsoever.
Upon seeing this, she didn’t hesitate and aimed her gun straight at the rank-one occupational person. Bang!
A bullet to the brain, he fell straight down.
The distance was so close, and the enemy didn’t even resist or evade, it was even easier than shooting a turkey!
‘Everything Su Lu said… was true.’
Geli was a little dazed, but she did not hesitate at all. With one pull of the reins, she turned and ran!
Su Lu had told her, within this group, there was a rank-three Fighter hiding!
“Damn it!”
All these events occurred in just a few seconds. Only when Geli had shot the occupational person in the head did Rus, hiding somewhere in the camp, get up and roar.
Indeed, he was hiding in the team, hoping to catch the little bugs mentioned by the leader.
But he could never have imagined that these bugs would have such a strange ability, effortlessly eliminating most of his subordinates.
And that useless leader had his head blown off by a woman’s gun.
The moment he sensed them, he chose to remain hidden, waiting for an opportunity to strike when they least expected it.
But the woman seemed to know he was hiding beside her and ran away just after killing.
She just ran away like that!
How could he tolerate this?
Rus roared and chased after her.
His short sprint was astonishingly fast, taking only a few steps to pass the body of the occupational person and chase behind Geli.
“It really is a rank-three occupational person!”
Geli was soaked in cold sweat and struck her horse with her whip.
There were advantages to having an information advantage.
Knowing that her opponent was a Fighter with no long-range abilities, all she had to do was be wary of a surprise shot.
Bang!
A gunshot echoed in the night. Su Lu, seeing Geli had lured Rus out, immediately fired a shot.
But in that split second, Rus seemed to sense some danger. His body flickered and he retreated sharply, a bullet hole appearing under his feet..
