Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

"Mo Hong, you must not hold back in this exchange. You must do your best to impress that mentor. With your talent, you might be admitted early!"

“I have already inquired, and no one at Yanyang No. 1 Middle School has awakened their Yuan Soul yet. Therefore, your talent is currently the best in Yanyang City.”

"If things go well, it will benefit both you and the school. If you are admitted early, the school promises to reward you with a substantial sum of 200,000 federal dollars!"

Mo Hong's eyes flickered as he pondered the pros and cons.

For him, the current priority is to seize all available resources to enhance his strength.

Top martial arts universities certainly have abundant cultivation resources, so early admission would be a good thing.

With the school's promise of a 200,000 yuan bonus, Mo Hong was quite tempted.

Therefore, Mo Hong made a quick decision and immediately expressed his determination, saying sincerely, "Instructor Bai, as a member of Yanyang No. 2 Middle School, I will definitely do my best to catch the eye of that instructor, but I am not sure if I can succeed."

Hearing Mo Hong's statement, Bai Tianbu finally smiled and said gently, "It's okay, just do your best. The school will definitely not put any pressure on you."

"It will begin in three days, so be ready then."

After explaining some minor details to Mo Hong, he allowed Mo Hong to leave.

As evening approached, the sky became overcast and thunder rumbled.

As Mo Hong walked out of the school, he couldn't help but look up at the sky and mutter to himself, "Is it going to rain heavily? Looks like I need to hurry home!"

Just a few minutes later, a fine drizzle began to fall, dense and fine.

L!

L!

Mo Hong took the subway from school, passing through Fuxin Lane, which has a lot of historical traces.

This is the intersection he passes every day on his way home.

The houses here are all quite old, looking like they're from over twenty years ago, and there are even a few abandoned tile-roofed houses.

Perhaps due to the rain, there were very few pedestrians on the road.

With nightfall approaching, the alleyway became rather deserted.

……

A desolate corner of Fuxin Lane.

The two figures clashed fiercely, their weapons sparking and scattering.

Duan Jiudao was slender, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, and held a three-foot-long sword.

Zhao Feng, on the other hand, was more robust, wearing the uniform of the patrol inspectorate, and gripping a long gun tightly in both hands.

Both of them possessed strong blood and energy, and their auras indicated they were both Xuan-level martial artists.

"I didn't expect your patrol division's eagle eyes to be so accurate. I was just about to leave the city when someone came knocking on my door."

Duan Jiudao's eyes were cold and his killing intent was palpable as he slashed at Zhao Feng's vital points with each strike.

"Duan Jiudao, you slaughtered everyone's entire family, and now you think we can't find you after you've come all the way to Yanyang City?"

"I've already notified the others to come here as soon as possible. Surrender now!"

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Zhao Feng's mouth as he coldly said.

"Trying to stall for time? I'll kill you today!"

Immediately, the nine-bladed sword transformed into a ghostly shadow and merged into the ground.

"The report above is correct; this nine-sword technique does indeed possess the rare element—Ghost Shadow!"

"He probably relied on this ability to kill everyone's family and escape from numerous encirclements."

Zhao Feng's expression changed, and his eyes were fixed on the constantly moving shadow on the ground.

Suddenly, a faint whistling sound came from behind.

not good!

Zhao Feng's expression changed drastically, and he turned the gun to defend himself.

However, his reaction was too slow; a long knife had already pierced his back.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Die to me!"

Behind him, Duan Jiudao roared furiously, his expression contorted with rage.

However, Zhao Feng had already reacted, gripping the blade tightly with his right hand to prevent it from penetrating any further.

"Let's see who dies first."

Seeing that his life was threatened, Zhao Feng could no longer sit still, and his blood and qi surged within him.

Suddenly, flames erupted from the right hand that gripped the blade, rising two zhang in an instant and burning towards Duan Jiudao.

"Hmm? Fire element!"

Duan Jiudao's expression changed.

He was already in a hurry to kill Zhao Feng, and with the two so close, he had no chance to react.

"Since there's no way to avoid it anyway, I might as well kill him first, so I can get rid of those lackeys of the patrol department afterwards."

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Duan Jiudao's eyes hardened again, his killing intent surging, and the force with which he thrust his hands into Zhao Feng's back suddenly increased.

puff!

The length of the insertion increased again, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Zhao Feng's face contorted in pain, his teeth clenched so tightly they rattled, and the flames burning towards Duan Jiudao intensified.

However, Duan Jiudao was in an even worse situation.

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Why aren't you dead yet? Just die already!"

Surrounded by scorching flames of over two to three hundred degrees Celsius, Duan Jiudao roared in agony, almost like a madman. After a few seconds, he finally released his grip on the long sword.

Zhao Feng felt as if he had just escaped death, his face showing signs of relief as he gasped for breath.

By this point in the battle, both sides were severely injured and their strength had plummeted to rock bottom; they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

However, they all kept a close eye on each other, preventing anyone from suddenly regaining their strength and seizing an opportunity to strike.

……

a few minutes ago.

The light rain gradually intensified, and in an instant, it became a torrential downpour.

"The weather is a bit bad today, it's better to go home early."

Mo Hong frowned slightly and quickened his pace.

Just then, Mo Hong suddenly saw a pillar of fire rise in the sky, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, not far from him.

"what happened?"

Mo Hong immediately tensed up and quietly approached the scene of the incident.

……

Just as Duan Jiudao and Zhao Feng were facing off, footsteps came from not far away, and the two subconsciously looked over.

Then they saw a boy in school uniform walking towards them; it was Mo Hong.

"Great, young man, hurry up and kill this beast! He's Duan Jiudao, a wanted criminal in Yanyang City. We're both seriously injured now, killing him will be a piece of cake for you!"

Seeing that he was just a student, Zhao Feng's eyes lit up, and he urged him on.

Seeing Zhao Feng's military uniform and the recent news reports about Duan Jiudao's wanted status, Mo Hong instantly understood the reason behind the incident.

Mo Hong narrowed his eyes, picked up the spear next to Zhao Feng, and quickly walked towards Duan Jiudao.

Seeing Mo Hong's hostile gaze, as if he really wanted to bring a gun to kill him, Duan Jiudao's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Kid, this is not something you can interfere with. Don't come over if you don't want to die!"

However, Mo Hong did not seem to be persuaded; instead, he walked faster and faster.

Seeing this, Duan Jiudao finally lost his temper and said in a sinister tone, "I originally wanted to save some strength to kill him, but since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

In an instant, a dark figure carrying a dagger appeared behind Mo Hong from the ground.

Zhao Feng's expression changed drastically upon seeing this scene. He never expected that Duan Jiudao would still have a trick up his sleeve. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and wanted to warn Mo Hong, but it was too late.

Feeling the biting wind behind him, Mo Hong was horrified, and every pore on his body opened up as he sensed the threat of death.
