Chapter 28: The Grace Of A Top Tier Professional! Zhou Zong’s Death!
“Are you just going to keep watching?!”
In the distance, a sudden roar erupted. Amid the surging crimson flames, the ground cracked from the intense heat. Hu Xiang’s battle with the Giant Lion whipped up waves of heat, his spear clashing with the lion’s claws in mid-air, producing thunderous booms.
He was confronting the Green Scaled Lion Leader, locked in a stalemate, evenly matched.
But on the camp side, they were clearly at a disadvantage. Compared to low-tier Professionals, low-tier Mutants were stronger due to their size.
If this continued, once the camp was cleared, he would still be assassinated.
Unless some decisive Strength intervened.
If Su Chen had truly killed those two attackers, in a battle of this level, it would undoubtedly be an extremely powerful boost.
But the other party showed no intention of acting.
The sudden roar stunned many who were fighting the enemy or fleeing, unsure what Hu Xiang meant or who he was talking to.
Su Chen remained unmoved, his face expressionless.
“After it’s over, I’ll give you an explanation,” Hu Xiang roared through gritted teeth.
Su Chen still didn’t move.
“I swear on my wife!” The voice came again.
Su Chen’s eyes flickered. He had heard Old Zhao mention that Hu Xiang and his wife were extremely devoted, renowned for it.
Unfortunately, his wife had been affected by something in the fog and remained in a coma to this day.
In this situation, it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch. Under a fallen nest, how could any eggs remain intact? Forcing Hu Xiang to reveal the mastermind would be enough.
It had been some time since entering South Wind Academy. His Talent should be revealed by now.
Bai Fengxi kicked away a Green Scaled Lion, her gaze sweeping over occasionally. She vaguely guessed that Hu Xiang seemed to be talking to Su Chen.
What exactly was he hiding?
He exerted force underfoot, like a gust of wind stirring up faint dust. Su Chen’s Body suddenly floated up.
The nearest Giant Lion had just swung its tail tip when Su Chen’s figure turned into a blur, brushing past its raised front claw.
A strand of Iron Wire snaked out from his embrace, moving close to his Body, invisible to the naked eye, smoothly piercing the Green Scaled Lion’s skull.
It looked like Su Chen had done nothing but float past, yet the Giant Lion in front of him seemed to suffer a heavy blow. One side of its skull exploded, followed by the other, and amid the bloody mist, it staggered and fell.
Instant kill!
Bai Fengxi’s pupils contracted, and she couldn’t help taking a few steps forward.
This Giant Lion was tough for her to face head-on. Its green Scale Armor was a natural Armor, with defense no less than a low-tier Item, incredibly hard.
She knew Su Chen was hiding his strength, but she had estimated him as at most a Professional. This scene was inconceivable.
Su Chen’s Body continued floating through the camp, like a sprite in the wind. Green Scaled Lions fell one by one, almost without resistance.
Liu Liang supported himself with both hands on the ground, his face pale as he stared at the Giant Lion collapsed in front of him. Its bloodied maw was wide open, just a little short of swallowing him whole.
What… what? How could he be this strong!
Zhou Zong, lying on the ground, was filled with horror, staring incredulously at the scene. The constantly falling giant beasts violently shook his mind.
Suddenly, a low roar came from behind. He jolted in fright. Not far away, a Green Scaled Lion was charging over, startled by Su Chen and fleeing in panic.
Zhou Zong’s Reaction wasn’t slow; he prepared to roll away like a donkey. But sudden intense pain came from his skull, stiffening him in place like a lightning strike.
Bang!
With a dull thud, half his skull was crushed under the fleeing Green Scaled Lion’s paw.
Everyone’s attention was on that figure; no one noticed.
The camp gradually quieted down. In just a moment, over a dozen Green Lions had all fallen to the ground, with one figure standing in the center.
“Is that… Su Chen!?”
The situation was critical; not everyone noticed who had acted, and with his Speed so fast, it was only clear when he stopped.
Gazes of shock, horror, or gratitude converged on him.
“Hoo…” Su Chen exhaled, feeling a throbbing pain in his head.
The earlier scene looked leisurely, but it was actually the 【Void Ripper Warrior】, 【Mystic Tool Master】, and most importantly the Second Order Item 【Blue Iron Lock Cable】 working together.
These ordinary lions were just First Order Mutants. Naturally, they couldn’t withstand the killing power of a Second Order Item.
However, after this bout of action, his Consumption was also huge.
“So strong…”
In the distance, Hu Xiang glanced over distractedly, his heart shaking violently, nearly struck by a claw.
“This guy, could he really be a Second Order Professional?” He couldn’t help thinking.
“Roar!”
The Green Scaled Lion Leader in front of him let out a pained roar. Hu Xiang instantly focused his mind to prevent a desperate counterattack.
In the end, this Giant Lion just glanced toward the camp, restrained its offensive moves, and slowly retreated into the Darkness.
“It’s over…” Hu Xiang relaxed, letting out a long breath.
In the camp, groans of “ouch” rose and fell as people supported each other, tending wounds. But their minds were unsettled, somewhat distracted, their gazes occasionally flicking toward the nearby figure.
“…Twelve First Order Mutants, the rest little lions. My goodness, too perverse…” Liu Liang whispered to his companion.
“No wonder Bai Fengxi treats him differently. Too amazing.”
“He, he’s a Refugee, isn’t he? How is he so strong?” Someone couldn’t help asking.
“How should I know.” Liu Liang rolled his eyes. “Stop calling him a Refugee all the time. He just saved you.”
“I know, I’m just saying…” The other defended.
“Casualties?” Hu Xiang returned, his voice deep and steady, immediately giving everyone a sense of backbone.
“Not bad…” His Subordinate reported, face tense: “All First Order Mutants. Our Reaction Speed was decent. Su Chen… acted right after. Those students’ physical qualities aren’t bad either. Mostly just bumps and bruises.”
“But we have a few guys who got injured saving them, probably permanently disabled.”
“Those wastes, in Combat they just cause trouble. Otherwise Old Liu and them wouldn’t be hurt.” A Subordinate said angrily. “And that Su Chen, clearly so strong, yet…”
“Shut up!” Hu Xiang shot a cold glance. Of course he knew why Su Chen hadn’t acted earlier.
Old Zhao nearby couldn’t help looking over, shaking his head with a sigh.
Su Chen was resting with eyes closed, seemingly helpless as he said: “Staring at me like this, is it fun?”
Beside him, Bai Fengxi showed no embarrassment and directly asked: “You know what I want to ask.”
“Since you know, you should understand I won’t tell you.” Su Chen shook his head.
“So I’m just staring at you.”
Su Chen was at a loss for words.
“…Zhou, Zhou Zong, Zhou Zong is dead!”
A terrified shout came from afar.
Bai Fengxi paused slightly, then said again: “Killing him will bring big Trouble.”
“You should tell that to the Green Scaled Lion.” Su Chen said indifferently.
The crowd gathered, staring at the Corpse on the ground. Half its skull was shattered, the remaining eye wide open in death, unclosed.
“Did anyone notice him earlier?” Hu Xiang’s face was grim as he scanned around.
“Seems like he was trampled to death by a lion.” Someone said weakly.
“Trampled?” Hu Xiang looked deeply at the Corpse and said: “Collect it.”
Among the City Patrol Guards surrounding, Tang Chen’s face was ugly, heart uneasy. Fortunately, the one handling the Corpse just glanced casually before putting it in the Body Bag.
There’s still Opportunity, still Opportunity.
Hu Xiang pushed through the crowd to Su Chen’s side, looking at the young man before him. “Chat?”
