Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Outside the cell, a deafening clamor surged forth like a tidal wave, the most filthy and vicious curses coalescing into a sonic boom, attempting to shatter the only tranquility within the cell.

However, Lu Xuan, who was at the center of the storm, didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

His long, slender fingers tapped slowly and deliberately on the antique mahogany tea table, each syllable seemingly on the beat of death, creating an extremely eerie contrast with the frenzied roars outside.

He ignored the alloy door, which had been violently blasted into pieces, and leisurely poured himself a cup of piping hot tea. His movements were fluid and graceful, as if he were strolling leisurely in his own backyard, as if everything outside was nothing more than the annoying chirping of cicadas.

As the tea steam rises, the fragrant aroma seems to form an invisible barrier, keeping out all the stench and violence.

"Hmm, this tea is good."

Lu Xuan took a sip and let out a satisfied sigh. His leisurely and contented demeanor made him look nothing like a prisoner; he was clearly a king surveying his own territory.

His gaze finally drifted lazily toward the door.

In the dimly lit corridor, the figures who had just regained their [Forbidden Ruins] power and were jumping around like clowns were nothing more than a swarm of buzzing flies in his eyes.

"Leave it to us."

Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan's voices were deep and firm. The two stood on the left and right, like two angry Vajras, blocking the path to Lu Xuan.

Cao Yuan leaned forward slightly, like a black panther about to pounce on its prey. Dark and profound shadow energy coiled around him like a python, and his eyes were as cold as unmelting ice, sharp and piercing, already locked onto the few clueless prey outside the door.

Baili Pangpang appeared to be sweating profusely with nervousness, but his mountain-like body remained as steady as a rock. The forbidden void of the [Free Space] within his body was poised to unleash its power, ready to deploy an absolute defensive barrier at any moment to shield Lu Xuan from everything.

"Lu Xuan, you little brat! You bastard, get out here right now!"

"Hahaha! Power! My power has returned! You lunatic, today I'll show you what true despair is!"

"Skin him alive! Pull out his tendons!"

Outside the door, the prisoners who had been "tamed" by Lu Xuan were extremely arrogant after regaining their power, as if they were invincible.

They brandished their rudimentary, restored abilities, flaunting the dim fireballs they conjured or the ochre armor that appeared on their bodies, charging back and forth in the corridor, venting their pent-up resentment.

Scarface's [Swift Shadow] made him a blurry afterimage, clamoring to be the first to rush in.

Big Belly's Hardening ability gave his skin a dull metallic sheen. He laughed wildly as he slammed his head against the remaining wall, enjoying the long-lost thrill of destruction.

Seeing that these flies were about to cross the line, and their filthy words were about to taint Mr. Lu's purity.

Cao Yuan's gaze turned completely cold.

"Noisy."

He uttered two words, not loud, but carrying a murderous intent that froze the air!

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted!

Cao Yuan's figure faded and disappeared on the spot. The next moment, a shadow made of pure darkness, carrying the cold wind of death, rushed into the group of prisoners who were still reveling like a ghost!

"Shadow" Forbidden Ruins - Activated!

puff!puff!puff!

Several jet-black shadow blades, seemingly born from the void or emerging from their own shadows, attacked from all directions at bizarre angles that completely defied the laws of physics!

"what--!"

"what?!"

The maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, turning into a horrified scream.

Their bodies had just begun to enjoy the thrill of their returning strength, but their souls were already gripped by the cold fingers of death.

Scarface's [Swift Shadow] was fast, but Cao Yuan's Shadow was even faster! He had just dodged a frontal blade when a pitch-black shadow blade emerged from his own shadow like a ghost and silently slashed across his throat!

"Heh...heh..." The fireball in his hand went out instantly, his eyes filled with incomprehensible terror and astonishment. He clutched his bleeding neck and fell straight down.

Big Belly's prized Hardened defense was like a thin sheet of paper before the Shadow Blade. After two crisp "clangs," the third Shadow Blade, like a venomous snake, burrowed into the gap in his ribs where the Hardened defense wasn't fully developed, piercing his heart with deadly precision!

"No...it's impossible..." His massive body crashed to the ground, his eyes unfocused, and he died without understanding why his defense, which was comparable to that of an alloy, was so vulnerable.

As for the remaining henchmen, they were instantly cut into countless pieces, with blood, flesh, and internal organs spraying everywhere, turning the entire corridor into a veritable hell on earth.

Cao Yuan's figure flickered several times in the blood mist, each flicker representing the end of a life.

When he reappeared at the cell door, he was still spotless, the surging shadow energy slowly receding, transforming back into a lurking beast. His expression was cold and stern, as if he had merely crushed a few ants.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound rang out as Lu Xuan put down the white jade porcelain cup in his hand. This sound seemed to bring a pause to this brief but bloody massacre.

He shook his head slightly, a genuine regret showing on his face.

"Sigh..." A long sigh, filled with undisguised regret, "Old Cao, you acted too quickly. I didn't even get to drink a sip of hot soup from this [Void Heaven Cauldron]."

As he spoke, he glanced with some displeasure at the still-warm corpses in the corridor, his eyes filled with heartache.

Baili Pangpang's jaw nearly dropped in shock. He knew Cao Yuan was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong. But what shocked him even more was Lu Xuan's reaction—was this guy even human?! Anyone else would be lucky not to vomit at the sight of this bloody slaughter, and you're just sitting here, a pity you couldn't "make use of waste"?!

Lu Xuan genuinely felt it was a pity.

Although these guys are incredibly weak, they are still [Forbidden Ruins] ability users. Their power has just been restored, and their energy cores are at their purest, making them excellent "nourishment" for him to draw power from the [Void Heaven Cauldron].

Each one is like a small appetizer.

As a result, they were all destroyed by Lao Cao as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Sigh, even a mosquito's leg is still meat! Wasting it is shameful!

His gaze, tinged with a hint of resentment and reproach, startled Cao Yuan slightly.

This ruthless and decisive man could only shrug helplessly, indicating that he didn't understand his buddy's "special fetish".
