Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 36 Nibelungen? Interesting, I'll come and see what's going on. (6.2K)

Lu Mingfei almost couldn't help but clap and cheer.

It was so exciting! As someone who experienced it firsthand, he felt that the plot was as dramatic and unpredictable as a movie!

Yes, what kind of person is Senior Brother Chu? How could he lose his composure just because the matter is of great importance?
The phrase "a man with thunder in his heart but a calm face" perfectly describes him. Even if the sky were to fall, Chu Zihang would still do everything he was supposed to do in an orderly manner and then silently shoulder the burden of the sky!

"I am also very curious."

Chu Zihang had recovered, but he didn't rush to make a move. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his hand was already gripping the hilt of the knife.

"You killed your own parents and brother, 'ate' them, and after becoming Deadpool, you even killed a homeless man who had nothing to do with you... Killing is not a burden for you."

"Correct."

“But you let my mother go. The locator records show that she left by car just before I arrived. Her vital signs were normal. She was not frightened or kidnapped. In that case, the other aunties should be safe too.”

Chu Zihang raised his eyes, a hint of confusion inevitably appearing in his burning, eerie golden pupils.

"why?"

He's already installed a GPS tracker, so installing other things won't be a problem.

In fact, in addition to secretly installing a large number of tracking devices, Chu Zihang also specially gave his mother a smartwatch.

That was something he asked his mentor, Schneider, to ask the Minister of Equipment to oversee the development.

It is waterproof and fogproof, and has a full range of functions such as positioning, vital sign monitoring, and temporary calls. It also has long battery life, requiring only one charge per week.

For Kassel College, which possesses cutting-edge technology, developing and manufacturing such a watch is naturally not a problem.

Mom liked it very much, and at Chu Zihang's request, she would not take it off even when she slept, and would wear it wherever she went.

In fact, even if Chu Zihang hadn't asked for it, his mother wouldn't have let the watch gather dust. After all, no watch, no matter how expensive, is more precious than one specially given to her by her son!
A luxury watch might be something to show off for a short time, and others might even feel jealous. But if it's a gift from your son, no matter how cheap it is, others will only be envious, and you can show it off without feeling guilty.

Of course, under the strong request (and threat) of his mentor, Professor Schneider, the equipment department still removed the self-destruct function, which was essential for their research and development, from the smartwatch... It is said that the lead researcher was very unhappy about this.

"The rules of the martial arts world."

Deadpool said, "Don't let your family suffer the consequences."

The scene fell silent immediately, with only the torrential rain remaining.

For a moment, Chu Zihang thought that the person standing in front of him was Lu Mingfei... What kind of crazy rules are these!

If you have such principles, how come you committed murder and broke the law? You should go to the police station and turn yourself in!

Have you rested enough?

Deadpool suddenly laughed, a hideous laugh. Its eyes were brimming with a bloodthirsty hunger, staring at Chu Zihang with ravenous desire.

"Your bloodline... is too wonderful. By 'consuming' you, I can become a higher-ranking being!"

Chu Zihang stopped talking.

He had already asked all the questions he needed to ask, and he didn't believe Deadpool's reasons, as they were simply too absurd. But it didn't matter if he didn't get the answers; some things were fine as long as the outcome was good.

All that remains is a battle to the death!

Deadpool was the first to lose his temper.

Though not yet deeply corrupted, it still retained some consciousness; it could not only speak but even set traps. But corruption is corruption, and the bloodlust and rage stemming from its bloodline finally boiled uncontrollably.

It pounced fiercely, like a predator pouncing on its prey. Its thick scales were like armor, requiring no other weapons; its prominent, protruding, sharp bone spikes were enough!

Chu Zihang drew his sword.

A flash of light, and the raindrops were neatly split in two before the high-speed blade, the speed of which was outrageous.

This was a precise and unadorned slash, its difficulty roughly equivalent to the first lesson in a swordsmanship class for elementary school students at a children's palace.

But this simple slash successfully repelled Deadpool's beastly attack. Even wild beasts fear being injured, let alone a fatal blow. At most, his attack would severely injure the defenseless Chu Zihang.

Yes, Chu Zihang had no defenses.

He's a man who takes the principle of "attack is the best defense" to the extreme. Hidden beneath his icy, expressionless face is a well of oil and natural gas—in short, a man of action.

Flammable and explosive!
Even Deadpool couldn't accept this kind of life-or-death fighting style.

Dude, who's Deadpool here? I feel like you're even more reckless than me!

If it were a completely corrupted Deadpool, he might be able to use Chu Zihang's fighting style to trade his life for injury and severely damage him.

But Deadpool doesn't want to die; it still wants to "eat" Chu Zihang to evolve. If it can't do that, what's the point of all this?
The disadvantage of not yet being completely corrupted is becoming apparent; as long as one has sanity, one can fear, and the ability to fear leads to avoidance. However, when facing Chu Zihang, whose skills surpass its own, once it tries to dodge, it falls into a disadvantageous position and will only be relentlessly pursued and killed!

The more Deadpool dodged and parried, the more terrified he became.

Chu Zihang didn't use any advanced techniques at all; every move he made was as simple as a primary school student's swing, straightforward and direct.

Yet this relentless attack left it breathless, not only because each strike precisely targeted its weaknesses, but also because of the most crucial reason—

In terms of both speed and power, Chu Zihang is no worse than it, and may even be slightly better than it!
"No, how is that possible!"

In another hasty parry, the sharp bone spikes snapped cleanly before the long, sharp samurai sword in Chu Zihang's hand. Even the scales that had just begun to heal were cleaved, penetrating deep into the bluish-gray flesh, barely stopped by the bones.

Deadpool stepped back, the immense shock overshadowing the already faint pain; it roared, seemingly in disbelief.

"Two days ago you weren't this strong, and I was able to seriously injure you and then escape! But now I've received God's blessing... how could you possibly be stronger than me?"

"God's grace?"

Chu Zihang narrowed his eyes slightly, finally finding an explanation for some of his doubts.

This sudden, unseen storm, so bizarre that it was impossible for anyone to witness it, could not possibly be an extreme weather phenomenon. It could only be the work of some unknown spiritual force.

This power of words should not have been possessed by the dead servant before him, because Chu Zihang had witnessed its power of words before, which was a visual illusion that was difficult to detect in a hurry.

During their first encounter, he was caught off guard and fell into a disadvantageous position, forced to exchange injuries and suffer severe damage.

But this time the illusion has clearly been upgraded; it can even manipulate cell phones to simulate voices. And there's this torrential rain...

A gift from God? If it's Odin, the king of gods, then everything makes sense. Gods are supposed to be omnipotent, let alone the king of gods!
But what is Odin planning to do with this Deadpool's gift?
The rain was getting thicker and thicker, almost enough to obscure the view.

Chu Zihang suddenly realized something was wrong. If Deadpool's remaining intelligence was high enough to set a trap, why would he only use ordinary, beast-like methods to deal with him?

Hunters set traps and wait for their prey to enter. Naturally, they wouldn't deal with the dying prey empty-handed; they would at least bring a shotgun loaded with bullets!

Startled awake, Chu Zihang realized that the thickening of the rain curtain was not an illusion; it was being manipulated, limited to his vicinity. However, the process was very slow, so slow that it was difficult to detect during the battle.

The rain streams are side by side, forming a water cage that surrounds him from all directions, both above and below!

Just like a few years ago.

But Chu Zihang is no longer the cowardly child he was a few years ago; now his mind and body are as hard as iron!

His golden eyes grew brighter and brighter, until they pierced the darkness. Chu Zihang's breathing suddenly became heavier, his heart pounded like a rapidly beating drum, a large amount of blood was pumped to all parts of his body, and the power hidden in his blood was awakened.

Lionheart Society Secret Technique - Bloodlust: Unleashes the Lion's Heart, temporarily boosting bloodline and granting an all-around enhancement to physical attributes and incantations!
Bloodshed, once.

Without the need for the lengthy preparation and chanting, flames rose from Chu Zihang's body almost instantly, and the intense heat instantly vaporized all the rainwater on his body and within a meter around him!
However, the water vapor could not dissipate because the cage of rainwater had already closed in. When it suddenly cooled down, it could only liquefy into water vapor that could be seen with the naked eye, and then it was evaporated by the flames.

In this endless cycle, the water cage tries to continue shrinking, intending to suffocate or imprison Chu Zihang.

But Chu Zihang refused.

Before I went into a blood rush, I was surrounded by you. After I went into a blood rush, I was still surrounded. So all that blood rushing was for nothing?
Word of Power: Sovereign Flame, Unleash!

The bright flames, as sharp as welding, shot out again, and the intense heat instantly evaporated all the rainwater within a ten-meter radius, including the water tank that had been painstakingly closed!

Hundreds of tons of rainwater instantly evaporated into water vapor. The volume change caused by the transformation from liquid to gas was like detonating a giant bomb in an instant, even the seemingly endless rainwater was dispersed for a moment.

The air humidity instantly reached 100% relative humidity, and countless white water vapors appeared. These were the products of water vapor that could no longer be contained being forced to liquefy, and the surrounding visibility dropped to less than ten centimeters.

Lu Mingfei hid very well, and the Xishan Villa was also of good quality. The main structure of the bridge is still intact, but the glass on both sides has all been blown away, allowing him to observe the whole process from behind the railing.

Of course, this is closely related to the fact that he was far enough away from the center of the battlefield... In the center of the area that directly bore the brunt of this impact, the remaining pillars and load-bearing walls of Lanyue Pavilion had all disappeared, and even the foundation was exposed.

Lu Mingfei was completely engrossed in watching.

This battle was like watching a movie to him. Deadpool wasn't just a mindless monster; he was cunning and treacherous, setting ambushes at every turn. Yet, Chu Zihang was able to counter his moves and break through his defenses several times!

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Senior Brother Chu has already broken the trap set by Deadpool with brute force.
It possesses a simple and direct beauty of brute force, where no matter how many schemes you devise, I will overcome them with sheer strength!

He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but before his heart could settle, the sudden change sent it leaping back into his throat.

The sound of horses neighing could be heard through the thick fog and mist.

Lu Mingfei's hair stood on end in horror, and he even got goosebumps all over.

He subconsciously felt that this was his own hallucination.

Where would a horse possibly come from in this situation? And if it is a horse, whose horse can roar with such a loud and powerful sound, as if it has a thunderclap in its mouth!

The thick fog dissipated at an incredible speed.

No, they were simply converging on one spot: between Chu Zihang and the death servants who were already prostrate on the ground.

The dense fog was compressed into a ball, but it did not turn into water, as if some force wanted to maintain it in this state. And within that ball of white fog, the shadow of a tall, imposing horse, as large as a mountain, flickered and appeared in the lightning, with a huge black shadow sitting on it.

Chu Zihang stared at the blurry figure.

The lightning flashed more and more frequently, and the mountain-like horse and the huge black shadow became clearer and clearer.

He finally understood what was going on—

This is a complex scheme.

Odin probably couldn't appear directly in the real world, nor could he directly open the entrance to the Nibelungen. The conditions are very demanding, likely related to indices like water vapor and air humidity, and must exceed the limits achievable under normal natural conditions!

That's why He was able to open the entrance to the Nibelungen during that rare typhoon and rainy season and pull them in.

This time, for some unknown reason, He couldn't wait any longer. In any case, He set up an ambush. He took in a dead servant who was already in the real world and still retained his mind, used mysterious methods to enhance his strength, and even bestowed upon him new words of power... all in order to bring Chu Zihang here.

But heavy rain alone isn't enough, so Deadpool needs to fight Chu Zihang. If the water cage can take down Chu Zihang, that would be ideal, but it's okay if it can't.

Because Chu Zihang could only break through with "Junyan", the intense high temperature evaporated the rainwater and naturally generated water vapor, so the conditions were barely met, and He was finally able to open the entrance!

The thick fog seemed to form a "door," and Odin's figure was on the other side of the "door," motionless, just silently gazing.

He gazed at Chu Zihang, his single golden pupil like a giant lamp, as if issuing a silent invitation.

Chu Zihang took a deep breath. "You were looking for me, weren't you? What a coincidence, I've been looking for you too!"

"Brother!"

Lu Mingfei's voice came from afar, weakened by the loud rain, but it was still barely audible.

"Run! That thing's entrance animation screams boss-level, and it's playing such a sneaky game, it's definitely a trap! Let's run away and level up first, then come back to fight it later!"

Chu Zihang was stunned.

Bloodlust has side effects; while enhancing one's bloodline, dragon blood also influences the personality and emotions of the one who unleashes it. He was just one step away from charging forward with his knife, but Lu Mingfei's voice snapped him out of his daze.

Lu Mingfei is right. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains but still going into them is a helpless choice when there is no other way, and it is undoubtedly the worst possible strategy.

Now that he'd figured out how to find Odin, he wasn't in a hurry anymore. Although he didn't know why, the fact remained that Odin wouldn't come out easily, and the initiative was on his side!

Awakening to the truth, Chu Zihang stared at the "door" formed by the thick fog.

He stepped back and declined the invitation.

But his expression changed drastically immediately, because the "door" moved, and the thick fog and water vapor began to boil and spread toward him. Some invisible force slowed his body, preventing him from escaping.

Although Odin rides a horse, he is not a knight and does not adhere to the so-called eight virtues of chivalry. Chu Zihang's refusal to accept the invitation does not mean that Odin cannot forcibly "invite" him in!
Come to think of it, what kind of virtuous and upright person could be capable of setting up such a treacherous ambush? He is nothing but a pure and wicked villain!

But by the time Chu Zihang realized this, it was too late to resist. He took a gamble and tried to unleash the Bloodlust Second Degree, which he had not yet mastered, but he failed.

The cloud of mist, which looked like countless tentacles wriggling, was less than a meter away from him and would engulf him in half a second at most!

At the last moment, Chu Zihang turned his head.

He looked at Lu Mingfei, who was dozens of meters away, and with all his might, shouted out the last word he had time to utter.

"run!"

Run! Really!

Odin is a being who doesn't follow the rules; he's the biggest rogue, and no one can stop him. It's hard to say whether he'll take Lu Mingfei with him as well.

So run, and don't look back!

In the final moments, Chu Zihang finally understood what his father had told him. "Don't look back" meant not only not to turn back physically, but also "Don't come looking for him again."

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to tell Lu Mingfei this. The writhing clouds and water vapor had already appeared in his field of vision, and they continued to spread, about to engulf him.

And Lu Mingfei, he finally made a move.

He lowered his upper body, tensed his thighs into a lunge position, a very normal starting posture. He started running, and his speed was indeed as he said, really fast, so fast that even with Chu Zihang's current physical condition under the berserk state, he couldn't see him clearly.

only……

Wait a minute, something seems off!

Chu Zihang slowly widened his eyes, wanting to shout out, "You're running in the wrong direction!"

Before his vocal cords could even vibrate and produce a sound, the sound spread to his domain and stagnated. Time was frozen in this domain... no, it was slowed down to an unimaginable degree!

Lu Mingfei didn't run in the wrong direction; he was heading straight for Chu Zihang.

[Explosive Sprint], activated!

Strange, I don't seem to feel anything special.

Lu Mingfei didn't have time to think. He kicked his legs, which quickly tensed and relaxed like springs, propelling his body forward toward Chu Zihang.

"Is this explosive sprint even going to work?!"

He muttered to himself, then was delighted to notice that the strangely writhing cloud had inexplicably slowed down.

It seems like we still have time!
Lu Mingfei put in even more effort.

He didn't know what being swallowed by this fog meant, but he knew without a doubt that the outcome would be unacceptable. Therefore, he had to pull Chu Zihang out of the fog.

If all else fails, I'd accept being swallowed up along with everything!

Those who are one's own people are brothers. Brothers don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but they ask to die on the same day, month, and year!
Lu Mingfei felt that he occasionally had a bit of heroic ambition. As a real man, he should of course be willing to go to great lengths for his brothers in critical moments!

In his frantic running, Lu Mingfei didn't even notice the changes in his surroundings—

Raindrops fell slowly in mid-air, and the splashes he made as he ran through the rain also rose slowly in mid-air. Even the space he created as he ran through the rain formed a series of steps with very gentle slopes.

It was as if the air had suddenly turned into some kind of special gel, and all "movement" was forced to take more time to achieve, even sound inevitably slowed down!

Lu Mingfei was the only exception; he was unaffected.

However, in reality, it was not the entire world that was affected, but only Lu Mingfei.

The effect of the [Burst Sprint] attribute is a temporary and significant increase in speed.

His physical condition was accelerated after using [Explosive Sprint]. Everything, from the inside out, including his cells, blood, and thought speed, was accelerated to the power of two cubed, eight times the speed!
What does 8x speed mean?
Lu Mingfei used to need more than thirteen seconds to run 100 meters, but now at his speed, it only takes him less than two seconds. He can run more than fifty meters in one second!
Thus, the distance of several tens of meters was covered in an instant.

The space that had slowed Chu Zihang was practically nothing to Lu Mingfei; he didn't even realize he had passed through it.

The writhing clouds seemed to sense something and quickened their pace, but it still wasn't fast enough. In the final moment, Lu Mingfei grabbed Chu Zihang's shoulders and pulled him into his arms.

He glared at the figure that was now clearly silhouetted against the clouds, almost "transforming from mist into reality."

Regardless of whether he could win or not, he needed to project an imposing presence first. Lu Mingfei felt like a brave porcupine!

next moment.

The clouds and mist, which had been clinging to him like a malignant tumor, struggled to dissipate, expelling Chu Zihang in a panic at a much faster pace than before.

The silhouette quickly blurred, receding into the distance. The clouds dispersed and disappeared, vanishing from sight.

Lu Mingfei was startled. He subconsciously looked at the ground, and the Deadpool that had been lying on the ground was gone.

All that remained was a scene of utter devastation.

That's...it's over?

Was the boss scared away by his own porcupine appearance? It sounds strange, but it seems to be true!
The rain was still falling, and the winter rain was naturally cold. A biting chill swept over him, and Lu Mingfei couldn't help but shiver. He subconsciously hugged Chu Zihang a little tighter—his senior brother's body was as warm as a furnace.

Why isn't my senior brother responding or saying anything?
Lu Mingfei looked down in confusion. Chu Zihang's eyes were clearly open, and his burning golden pupils were turning towards him, but... very slowly.

Wait, is it slow?

Only then did Lu Mingfei have a chance to notice his surroundings. The slowed-down raindrops made a drawn-out, somewhat strange sound...

He finally realized what was happening.

[Explosive Sprint] is not useless; on the contrary, it is probably the strongest of all the affixes he has acquired so far!
[Burst Sprint], canceled early.

The world that had been slowed down in my senses finally returned to normal, but a sudden feeling of exhaustion swept over my whole body.

Lu Mingfei's smile froze before it could even bloom. He had forgotten that there were side effects after using [Explosive Sprint]!
He let go and collapsed.

Just as he was about to collapse onto the waterlogged ground, a pair of still strong arms grabbed him and lifted him up.

Chu Zihang lowered his eyes and met Lu Mingfei's gaze.

"Why don't you run?"

"I'm running away, senior brother."

Lu Mingfei forced a smile, his voice weak and feeble. This state of exhaustion was far too extreme; he felt that almost no muscles in his body could muster any strength, and even speaking was extremely difficult.

"See? I told you I can run fast, didn't I?"

The torrential rain quickly turned into a drizzle after it went out of control, a cold wind swept in, and sirens sounded in the distance, accompanied by the approaching sounds of panicked people.

Chu Zihang didn't ask anything more. He carefully put Lu Mingfei on his back, put away the samurai sword, and then left.

"Don't you need to clean up the mess, senior brother?"

Lu Mingfei asked weakly. Actually, he was in good spirits and not tired at all; he just couldn't muster any strength.

This is assuming that the [Burst Sprint] is canceled in advance. If the next time the ten seconds are used up before canceling it... I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to open my eyelids.

“There are dedicated staff to handle the aftermath. I sent them a message when I arrived, and they will take care of the work.”

Chu Zihang replied.

"I'll take you to get a medical check-up first."

"No, no need..."

"It's a specialized, confidential facility, not an ordinary hospital."

"Actually, it's nothing serious, I'm just a little exhausted..."

"obedient."

"……Oh."
