Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Hongying's pupils suddenly contracted, and her small mouth opened wide into an "O" shape.

She stared in astonishment at the enormous corpse of the Ghost King in the rain.

The jagged cross-shaped cut, stained with foul-smelling, blackened fluid, looked particularly eerie under the rain.

This...this is the Demon King who severely injured me back then, a monster that even the captain couldn't keep alive despite using all his methods.

The shocking wounds on his body now...

Hongying, with her extensive combat experience, could even deduce everything that happened there.

The masked king clashed head-on with his opponent, as evidenced by the broken bricks on the ground, but gained no advantage whatsoever.

Then, for reasons unknown, he chose to flee!

Then the opponent caught up with him, and the terrifying blade even pierced through the Ghost-Faced King's entire body.

What Hongying couldn't understand was...

How could a creature like the Ghost King possibly run away after just making contact? Even if it was in a desperate situation, it would have been the first time it chose to escape.

And here.

It was clear that the entire battle was very short, and it was almost a one-sided suppression.

The charred, blackened slash marks remaining on the ground.

It's an attack with a burning effect!

Even the lingering traces of that aura were enough to deeply shock Hongying.

Very strong, very strong, even extremely strong.

Is this caused by Lu Xuan's heroic spirit?

A true expert from the Sichuan region, who single-handedly killed the Ghost-Faced King, this guy is simply a monster.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been even more shocked than you. The heroic spirit summoned by Lu Xuan... after releasing some kind of powerful aura, the Ghost-Faced King was so intimidated that he fled and was then killed..."

Zhao Kongcheng smiled wryly; he had guessed what Hongying was thinking.

"Mission... complete, Shonan."

Hongying's tense and beautiful face finally relaxed. She checked the corpse on the ghost mask and finally spoke into the earpiece.

"Mission accomplished!?"

Wu Xiangnan was completely bewildered.

"Ghost King... was successfully killed by Lu Xuan's heroic spirit. It was indeed... three strikes, and he was on the run. He was very strong. That kid is really strong! This time, our team has really struck gold."

Hongying took a deep breath to calm her emotions and looked at Lu Xuan in Zhao Kongcheng's arms with complicated feelings.

……

Inside Lin Qiye's house in the old town.

My cousin Yang Jin stood by the window as the torrential rain outside gradually thinned out.

Then the sky cleared up.

It seems to have improved my mood considerably.

Yang Jin frowned slightly as he gazed into the distance outside the glass window, in the direction where Lu Xuan and the others were fighting.

"The variables beyond fate are incredibly powerful."

He murmured softly in a voice only he could hear, while a small black toad kept rubbing against his calf.

……

Cangnan City.

Peace Bridge.

This is on the outskirts of the old city. Because it spans the Grand Canal of Jiangnan, the bridge is always bustling with traffic and people.

There are many shops lining both sides of the bridge.

Right in the center of the bridgehead is a shop called "Peace Agency," to its left is "Peace Wedding Planning," and to its right is "Peace Funeral Services."

The stark contrast has a comedic element, and the huge disparity makes the Peace Agency, sandwiched in the middle, almost unnoticed.

The office, in the basement.

The lights were bright, and there was already hot tea brewed by Wu Xiangnan on the table, but no one touched it.

The entire 136th squad has returned, and everyone looks soaking wet.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Xuan, who was still unconscious on the sofa with his eyes closed.

"It's just mental exhaustion. Get some rest and you'll feel much better after you wake up."

Military doctor Si Xiaonan put down her stethoscope and gently touched Lu Xuan's forehead with her fair little hand; everything was normal.

"Hehe, hehehe, hehehe, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongcheng chuckled foolishly; he had been extremely worried throughout the journey.

He understands.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan's appearance, he would probably have lost his life to the Ghost-Faced King.

That monster... it's too strong, it can even use Forbidden Ruins!

It can be said.

Lu Xuan saved his life, and Zhao Kongcheng didn't know how to repay this kindness.

"That's really impressive. He was able to take down the Ghost-Faced King in just three strikes. And according to Hongying, that heroic spirit seems to have mastered additional fire-attribute damage. He's truly a force to be reckoned with."

Wen Qimo smiled as he wiped Lu Xuan's face and hair with a towel in his hand.

"The key point is that the Ghost-Faced King seems to have chosen to flee without fighting, so the strength of that heroic spirit is probably at the peak of the River Realm."

Leng Xuan, wiping his sniper rifle, spoke coldly.

He had faced off against the Ghost-Faced King and knew its personality well: it was tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and warlike, and would not back down unless in a life-or-death situation.

"Captain, are you confident that you can kill the Ghost-Faced King with three strikes when you're at full power?"

Hongying looked at Captain Chen Muye.

Everyone turned to look at them.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? Three slashes? If I could handle this, I wouldn't have let him escape. Lu Xuan's spirit is probably stronger than mine... Old Zhao, you've done a great job this time!"

"Let's all get ready. I'll cook today to treat everyone. What kind of food does this kid like to eat, Lao Zhao?"

Chen Muye's lips twitched.

He didn't have the ability to defeat the Oni-Faced King with three strikes; the Heroic Spirit's direct combat strength was probably above his own.

However, if the two sides were to fight, who would win or lose would be another matter entirely.

Humans and monsters can fight in completely different ways.

"What do you like to eat? Well... I haven't asked that yet..."

Zhao Kongcheng gave an awkward laugh.

"You haven't done your job well enough. You need to pay more attention to Lu Xuan in the future. He's still a newcomer."

Wu Xiangnan pushed up his glasses.

"Agree!"

"Hehehe! Brother Lu Xuan is really amazing. With him around, we'll be much safer!"

Wen Qimo and Hongying spoke with smiles.

Everyone understands.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan's appearance.

It's highly likely that Zhao Kongcheng will perish in this mission.

Although casualties are inevitable in a small team, minimizing them is something everyone would like to see.

Lu Xuan... is the greatest contributor this time!

It was also the team's lifesaver!!

"Xiangnan, expedite Lu Xuan's job application. Also, prepare for intensive training for Lu Xuan; this kid's cultivation level is too low."

Chen Muye gave the instructions.

Only by completing the formalities as soon as possible can he feel at ease with such a talented individual.

"Where will Lu Xuan stay? Captain, you promised to provide him with food and lodging, hehe," Zhao Kongcheng said.

"Come to my place, I have plenty of rooms, and I'm really curious to have a good chat with this little brother, hehehehe~~"

Hongying said excitedly.

“Alright, let him stay at your place. But Hongying, don’t bully the newcomer. He’s our team’s precious darling right now. We might have to rely on Lu Xuan to save us in the future.”

"Don't worry, how could I bear to?"

Hongying stuck out her fragrant tongue.
