Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Lu Mingfei let out a scornful laugh, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes as he looked at the woman.

He knew that the woman was not lying, and the real situation was probably even more...one-sided than what she described.

Invading the spiritual world of the Bronze and Fire King? You're so lucky you could do it! Luckily, Old Tang hasn't awakened yet and is only passively defending himself. If this woman really tried to invade the sea of ​​consciousness of a Dragon King, she would definitely lose consciousness on the spot, and her soul would be drained dry in an instant!

"Is this your Word Spirit? If so, then everything makes sense." Lu Mingfei analyzed expressionlessly, "While spiritual Word Spirits may not seem to be very damaging or destructive, they are hard to defend against. A person's consciousness is often much more fragile than their body. This is why you ripped away all those people's flesh before they could even resist."

Previously, the academy and he had been obsessed with whether the victim died first and then was skinned, or died from the torment of being skinned. However, if the other party possessed a powerful word spirit that could influence people's minds, then all the previous doubts would now be solved.

"Will I peel off your flesh?" The woman laughed coquettishly and wantonly, as if Lu Mingfei's words sounded like a hilarious joke to her.

The giggling sound is as enchanting as a colorful ghost in the night.

However, the trembling laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.

The smile came and went quickly. In an instant, the woman put away her smiling face, as if she had taken off a hypocritical mask, and then changed her face to be cold again.

"I named myself 'Skin-peeler,' not what you might think of as 'skin flayer' or 'skin stripper,'" the woman said. "My hands are not stained with blood. The skins of those 'victims' you define were taken off by themselves."

"It was the fear in their hearts that killed them."

The woman's light words made Lu Mingfei's face suddenly gloomy, like a thunderclap in the dark night exploding in Lu Mingfei's heart.

It turns out that all this was a massacre against hunters from the very beginning!

The anonymous employer who issued the mission was this woman, and the target of the mission was still herself. This was a tightly closed trap, and those hunters were like prey one after another, trying to squeeze in and walk into the trap. Once they stepped into the trap, there was no way out!

The former hunters became stupid prey amid the applause of women, how ironic!

Lu Mingfei frantically searched through the Word Spirit Sequence List in the Word Spirit Studies textbook at Kassel Academy in his mind. He originally thought that women's Word Spirits were probably beyond the scope of Teacher Masashi Toyama's Word Spirit Hypnosis. He wondered if it could be the Word Spirit Dream Tapir, which had the ability to kill a person silently in a dream.

But now it seems that a woman's words are even more terrifying than the nightmare tapir...

Word Spirit: Nightmare of Deep Dream!

It is the 85th Word Spirit on the Word Spirit Sequence List, and is only four levels away from being classified as a dangerous Word Spirit. It has the ability to invade the spiritual world and conduct mental manipulation. From the victim's perspective, all the harm they suffer will be rationalized. Even if it is to order a person to smile and cut their own aorta with a knife, the controlled person will do it without hesitation!

Of course, the higher the sequence of the Word Spirit, the greater the burden the user of the Word Spirit needs to bear. The condition for the invasion of the Deep Dream Nightmare is that the opponent's mental power cannot be much stronger than one's own, and it is necessary to find an entry point that can cause a gap in the opponent's mental world.

However, if the power of Deep Dream Nightmare is used on someone with extremely strong mental strength, the user is likely to suffer backlash. For example, a woman tried to invade Lao Tang’s spiritual world, but almost had her soul shattered!

"You staged a devastating explosion, hoping to target the two hunters in the security team, right? Their bodies were nearly burned to ashes, so it was impossible to tell if their skins had been peeled off. You sacrificed your celebrity status to escape, taking a gamble. But you didn't anticipate that one of the hunters had already slipped away from the team in the terminal. Your plan to kill two birds with one stone failed."

"After that, you kept following me and Old Tang, right? You followed us into the Hunter Internet Cafe, and you didn't just watch The Truman Show in the cafe. You must have browsed something else as well."

"It's just that you were sitting in another seat using another computer, so I couldn't find any of your browsing history because you turned off the computer after you were done using it, and the information was automatically shredded. And when you had gathered everything you wanted to know, you quietly sat across from me."

Lu Mingfei stared at this woman who was incredibly beautiful, but whose mind was full of complicated schemes and as cunning as the abyss.

"In the news, you're already a dead celebrity, so you appear in public wrapped up in that tightly wrapped outfit. But that strange outfit isn't just hiding your celebrity status... it's also hiding your golden eyes!"

"In the internet cafe, I could vaguely sense a gaze. Was it those golden eyes beneath your sunglasses that were sizing me up? You'd already used your ability on me a long time ago. When you hummed that song in the internet cafe, there were actually other notes mixed in. You were singing, but I just didn't hear it at the time."

"Your target was actually Old Tang who was sitting next to me, but you couldn't see through me because you realized that your abilities had no effect on me at all. That's why you didn't dare to make a move until I got a call and left. But then you realized that Old Tang was actually more difficult to deal with than me?" Lu Mingfei analyzed step by step.

The atmosphere was silent for a while and no one spoke.

"Bingo! Very interesting reasoning, basically all correct!" After a moment of silence, the woman gently applauded Lu Mingfei's meticulous analysis.

"It's only now that I've connected all the dots... Unfortunately, it's too late." Lu Mingfei shook his head regretfully, then he angrily questioned, "You failed to kill Old Tang, but why did you attack those innocent people? They weren't your target!"

"Wrong!" The woman chuckled and shook her head. "So I'd say your reasoning is only 'basically' correct. The only mistake is that from the very beginning, my goal was to kill all the bounty hunters on the Hunter website... without a single one left alive!"

When the woman said this, her face was filled with madness and cruelty. She laughed wildly like the Joker in Gotham City, as if this was what she considered to be natural. The smell of blood burst out from her words and permeated the air, dyeing the night red.

"Reason?" Lu Mingfei looked at her from a distance and spat out these two words coldly.

"No reason." The woman shook her head heavily.

"The instigator?" Lu Mingfei asked again.

"There is no one who instigated me to do this. I just did it because I wanted to!" The woman waved her hands impatiently.

The rooftop fell into the dead silence before the storm.

The temperature in the woman's eyes kept dropping, even colder than an autumn night, as if her previous charming smile and frivolousness with Lu Mingfei were just pretense. Once her patience ran out and she tore off the hypocritical skin, fangs and claws would follow!

Lu Mingfei stopped talking and just looked at her quietly. In the short few minutes of their conversation, the woman's expression changed from smiling to serious and then to crazy, as if contrary to her words, the woman had very poor control over her emotions. Lu Mingfei could not read any emotion from her face... It was as if she was a complete lunatic who did not follow the rules and did not care about the consequences.

But would a madman like to watch "The Truman Show"? Lu Mingfei didn't believe it. He vaguely felt that deep down in the other person's heart, there was actually some kind of indescribable fear...?

What is she actually afraid of?

"Who allowed you to guess what I was thinking!" the woman suddenly yelled like crazy.

The Nightmare of Deep Dream enabled her to capture part of Lu Mingfei's thoughts. She seemed to suddenly realize that Lu Mingfei was trying to figure out her thoughts. This behavior seemed to have touched some taboo of hers. The woman was like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to dig deeper into the whole incident so that my mission report can receive an excellent evaluation. After all, I'm an 'S' rank." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "As for your thoughts and feelings, they are not important. I am not interested in your experience. I only hope that the innocent souls will rest in peace!"

In an instant, the woman had taken a step forward. Her sky-high heels shattered the rooftop floor like a sharp sword, and the cracks extended like a spider web. The woman was wearing ten-centimeter-high heels, and her movements were as fast as a ghost. She came in front of Lu Mingfei like a gust of invisible wind. The long, sharp nails on her hands were like sharp knives, a total of five of them, pointing straight at Lu Mingfei's throat.

But the woman's lightning-fast palm stopped in mid-air and could not move forward an inch, because just before she pierced the throat that was so close to her, a hand had already grabbed her slender arm tightly with such great force that a red mark had quickly spread on her white wrist.

Lu Mingfei's claws were as hard as steel pliers. In a few seconds, the woman's wrist bones would be shortened by the huge force!

But she smiled. Yes, the corner of the woman's mouth, who should have been terrified, showed a triumphant arc, as if everything was still under her control.

From Lu Mingfei's perspective, what he noticed was not the woman's smile, but her bright golden eyes. Those eyes were infinitely magnified in his eyes, and the negative emotions in his heart also extended infinitely. He was stunned for a moment.

In just this split second, the woman's hand broke through Lu Mingfei's restraints. Less than twenty centimeters away, her five slender and long fingers clenched together, breaking through the air like a sharp arrow and stabbing towards Lu Mingfei's throat!

Blood bloomed like red flowers, which was extremely eye-catching even in the dark night. Lu Mingfei was dazed for a moment and the woman took advantage of him, but a distracted "S" level is still an "S" level. At the moment before his throat was pierced, Lu Mingfei changed his posture and twisted his neck in an instant.

So only a piece of skin on the side of the neck was scratched off, it didn't hurt or itch.

Lu Mingfei's claws that were pinching the woman's arm no longer showed any mercy. A "crack" sound rang through the night sky. In just a moment, the bones of the woman's forearm were crushed by Lu Mingfei!

The woman took a step back, her right arm drooping like a puppet. The pain of the broken arm made her beautiful face twisted and hideous, but hidden beneath the hideousness... she was still laughing... she was laughing wildly!

The gold in her eyes was like boiling magma, hot and scorching. Fine scales began to emerge along her jaw and the back of her neck. Something was stirring under the woman's skin, and then sharp bone spurs pierced through the glass-like skin. Dark brown blood splattered all over the ground, and hot white smoke rose from the concrete floor.

She smiled and broke her broken arm back into a monster!

Chapter 104: Flame King

Iron-blue scales covered the woman's neck, sharp claws pierced through her fingertips and extended out, black bone spurs were as ferocious as upside-down blades, and the originally flat concrete floor was corroded by dark brown blood, leaving deep potholes... In every aspect, the woman was completely out of the scope of being a "human".

"Your bloodline is unstable, and you've overused your Word Spirit."

Lu Mingfei saw at a glance the reason why the woman had become a dragon. Although her bloodline was much higher than that of ordinary hybrids, it was far from the super-standard level of Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang. After forcibly using the Deep Dream Nightmare on the two of them one after another, and being shrouded in inner fear, the dragon bloodline in her body had begun to backfire.

"If you don't suppress the fear deep in your heart and continue like this, it won't be long before you turn into a complete monster. The process of becoming Deadpool is irreversible." Lu Mingfei looked at the woman whose iron-blue scales were almost covering her body and spoke earnestly.

"Do you really enjoy playing the critic, little brother? It's as if you have complete control over everything that happens. All you need to do is stand on the high ground and make sarcastic remarks about things that have nothing to do with you, putting on a condescending and critical face?"

The woman's face, torn from all flesh and blood, was devoid of any emotion. However, her golden pupils coldly regarded Lu Mingfei. She had completely shed her mask of hypocrisy, her tone filled with sarcasm, "What an ugly face!"

Lu Mingfei laughed dumbly. An ugly face? Being told that by a monster whose hands were stained with blood and who was almost degenerating into a deadpool, he didn't feel embarrassed or angry at all...

He could only feel deep sorrow!

Unfortunately, Lu Mingfei's original intention of this trip to New York was really just to visit Old Tang, so he didn't bring his famous Guanshi Zhengzong with him. Otherwise, Lu Mingfei wouldn't mind peeling off the scales of this scaly monster one by one, so that she could also taste the feeling of being skinned and flesh scraped off!

No matter what purpose the woman had in hunting hunters, whether it was insincere hatred or she was forced to be manipulated, Lu Mingfei had no intention of criticizing her, nor did he have the power to forgive her on behalf of those who died tragically. Criticism was the dogma of believers, and forgiveness was God's duty. What Lu Mingfei had to do was to send this inhuman monster to hell!

If words are useless, then there is no need to say more!

Lu Mingfei moved. Behind him was the rooftop fence. He stepped heavily on the fence with his right foot and pushed himself out. The iron fence was twisted by his foot, which meant that Lu Mingfei's starting speed would be like a shadow. In an instant, he was close to the monster, and the thick night seemed to be left behind by him.

At this time, the woman's originally tall body had expanded to nearly three meters. Lu Mingfei came behind her, stepped on her twisted back, and quickly stepped onto the monster's body as if walking on flat ground, just like climbing a hill in a few steps. The whole process was completed in the blink of an eye.

He stepped hard on the woman's tall head, and her dense scales, which had not yet fully grown, flew everywhere. The woman's thick spine, which had transformed into a dragon, was twisted and bent by Lu Mingfei's step. The "crunching" sound of friction between the joints was so creepy in the quiet night that it was terrifying to the bone.

However, what was even more terrifying than the sound of bones bending was the terrifying and soul-stirring scream. The pain of the spine being bent was quite unbearable, but the woman's roar seemed to be mixed with deep humiliation and resentment towards Lu Mingfei for stepping on her head.

She vowed to tear this guy to pieces!

But she now looked pathetically funny, like an ancient dinosaur, with arms and claws that were disproportionate to her body. Thick scales wrapped around her body made it difficult for her to move her joints, and her hands couldn't even reach her head.

So she shook her body vigorously, trying to shake off the boy on her head, but the boy's feet seemed to be rooted in her head. No matter how she swung her huge and heavy body, the man who was stepping on her head did not move at all. Her consciousness began to become a little fuzzy, and she vaguely wondered if the boy on her head was laughing at her ugliness with contempt?

However, Lu Mingfei did not laugh. With an expressionless face, he seized the opportunity when the opponent twisted his body, raised his right foot high, and smashed it towards the monster's head again, as if it was an iron hammer with a huge force.

A crisp "crack" sound resounded through the night sky. The woman's spine was broken by Lu Mingfei's kick through the thick scales. Her heavy head drooped weakly on her shoulders, and a painful roar came out of her bloody mouth.

Her golden eyes were filled with cruelty, and she began to become hysterical. She was still desperate, and blood spurted out like a fountain, and blood flowers exploded one after another. The scales on the monster's tail vertebrae were broken from the inside by a huge force, and the scales shot onto the wall behind it, leaving black holes.

A thick and long tail emerged from behind her, like a ferocious python. She was very smart. Her roaring voice and twisting posture concealed the sound of the tail breaking through her body. The scale-covered tail swept over fiercely, piercing through the wind and hitting Lu Mingfei above her head, like a black knife slashing from behind!

When Lu Mingfei sensed the danger, it was already too late. All he could do was to shrink his body as much as possible so as not to let the fatal parts of his body lose force. The huge tail wrapped in the sound of wind came at him, and Lu Mingfei was swept away fiercely. He rolled twice in the air and landed on the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt a burning pain on his back.

You don't need to look to know that the clothes on his back must have been torn to pieces. I'm afraid his skin and flesh have been torn apart by the opponent's beating, and it is already bloody. Lu Mingfei wanted to grin, but he held back.

"I really didn't expect this. I almost fell into your trap... But my tailbone grew instantly and pierced my body. My body and mind are almost degenerated into a monster. You should be in more pain than me, right?" Lu Mingfei kept a calm expression and asked coldly to the monster that could no longer be distinguished from a human form.

He couldn't find a name to call her. Kenpaisa? The Skinner? Or the Fallen?

It doesn’t matter, Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes.

"Kill... me... you... die..." The monster uttered a few unclear words, and its originally heavenly voice became hoarse and terrifying.

"What?" Lu Mingfei asked with a frown. It was difficult for him to see any human look in the other's eyes. The one standing in front of him was already a chaotic monster. To transform into a dragon was to slide into the abyss of sin. It was a road with no return.

The opponent pounced towards him with sharp claws raised. Lu Mingfei subconsciously moved to the side. There was a fence behind him. The steel fence seemed as thin as paper under the huge and hard body and was torn apart easily.

The other party rushed headlong into the thick night. Was he trying to escape? To cholera the innocent people? Or had he lost his mind? This mindless charge looked like a deliberate attempt to throw him off the rooftop battlefield. While a fall from the seventh floor wouldn't kill this giant monster, wasn't he his target?

No... Lu Mingfei's body suddenly froze, and he quickly looked towards the monster that had already fallen in mid-air. He seemed to see a hint of human cunning and success in the other's golden vertical pupils that were filled with brutality and cruelty!

His emotions were filled with bloody battles and pain, and the other party's Deep Dream Nightmare's words were actually still secretly affecting him... She made Lu Mingfei subconsciously think that this was a battlefield belonging to the two of them, and the woman's target was himself. They were fighting on this rooftop that looked like a cage for fighting animals, and the winner would be the king.

But he was wrong. The other party's target was not him from the beginning... but the hunter who accepted the Skinner mission - Lao Tang!

As the opponent moved away, the domain of Word Spirit·Deep Dream Nightmare was automatically unlocked, and his slightly chaotic and scattered thoughts began to be sorted out one by one. When Lu Mingfei realized this, the opponent's huge body had already begun to fall in the reflection of Lu Mingfei's gradually widening pupils.

He suddenly ran to the edge of the rooftop, the night wind whistling in his ears, blowing his hair into a mess.

The last moment in Lu Mingfei's sight was the monster climbing like a giant lizard, its sharp claws piercing into the wall, just like piercing tofu. It imitated the lizard man Dr. Connor in "Spider-Man" and drilled into the windowsill between the third and fourth floors. The walls were crushed by its huge body, and large pieces of wall plaster and stone slabs fell to the ground.

On the third floor, Lao Tang’s rental house is at the end of the other side of the corridor!

"Asshole, bastard!"

Lu Mingfei's heart also plummeted. He realized it belatedly and subconsciously bent the steel bar in front of him in anger. He roared and wanted to flip down from the roof.

But the cold evening breeze and the severe pain on his back calmed him down and brought him to his senses.

Guan Ze Masamune was not around, and he did not have sharp claws like the monsters. In the process of falling from the rooftop to the third floor, he had no tools to stop himself from falling. He would most likely crash into the ground like a comet. Even if he was an "S"-level hybrid, it would be difficult for him to avoid being seriously injured at a vertical height of more than 20 meters.

The only way through was via the stairs. Hopefully, I could stop Old Tang before he encountered the monster, though the chances were slim...

When Lu Mingfei turned around and prepared to go into the corridor, his scalp exploded in an instant.

The evening breeze was howling, and people were coming and going. The passage between the rooftop and the corridor had been filled with people. They rushed out of the entrance one after another, like countless silent ghosts!

The rooftop was full of people, holding sticks or machetes in their hands, blocking Lu Mingfei's way to the stairs. A pale golden light was imprinted in their lifeless eyes, flickering, and the expressions on their faces were surprisingly uniform - each of them had no expression, like hundreds of walking corpses who had lost their souls!

These are the residents of this simple building. They are now blocking Lu Mingfei's way to rescue them because someone has controlled their thinking and issued orders in their minds.

That was the power of Word Spirit: Nightmare of Deep Dreams. Most likely, the woman had already controlled everyone in the building before stepping onto the rooftop, and had made such preparations before fighting with herself... What a deep mind, what a terrifying woman!

The golden light in Lu Mingfei's eyes began to dim. He had no intention of killing anyone. Although there were few kind people in this building, it was impossible for him to fight his way through here and kill so many innocent people just to save his friend. If he did that, what was the difference between him and the "Skinner"?

He took a deep breath and ran towards the crowd. Countless blades and sticks came at him like a violent storm. He dodged while pushing away these innocent people who were trapped in their control but were completely unaware of it.

Occasionally, a few blunt blows hit Lu Mingfei's back. The strength of an ordinary person was naturally not considered a heavy blow to him, but there was still a hideous wound on his back. At this time, the sticks hit him again and again, making Lu Mingfei frown deeper and deeper.

The crowd seemed like an endless black tide, and the successive attacks were like huge waves, one higher than the other, rushing towards him.

The rooftop late at night seemed like a hundred ghosts parading at night, and the scene of a man going against the flow formed a poignant painting. The boy was wrapped in the crowd, going against the flow, and he seemed unaware of his wounds being torn several times.

Because he was rushing to save his friend.

The floor suddenly shook violently, like a severe earthquake. Lu Mingfei even thought for a moment that so many people gathered here that the rooftop was trampled. However, his idea was immediately shattered because it was not only the rooftop that was shaking, but the entire Jianzi Building.

Along with the violent shaking, there was also a huge explosion, as if someone had ignited the terrifyingly powerful C4 explosives in the building, or as if someone had roared in the night enough to shake the world. Countless panes of glass were shattered at once, and the explosions were superimposed on the deafening sound.

The violent attack that enveloped Lu Mingfei also stopped. The crowd fell to the ground one after another like a cut-down bamboo forest. On the rooftop of a building with more than a hundred people, Lu Mingfei became the only person standing.

What happened? Was the Nightmare of Deep Dream lifted? What about that violent explosion and vibration?

The most important thing is... Is Old Tang okay?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Lu Mingfei rushed into the corridor and quickly climbed down one floor at a time, two steps at a time.

However, when he went down to the third floor, the scene before him completely silenced Lu Mingfei. In the silence, his heart was beating like a drum.
