In the alley, the sound of applause suddenly rang out, "Clap... Clap... Clap..."
An ordinary-looking man appeared beside the yellow-haired corpse, stroking his chin and smiling, "As expected of the Director of the Academic Affairs Office of Super Martial University, he is truly ruthless. He even dug out his own student's heart. To some extent, doesn't this count as... thoughtful?"
Liang Shouji, standing at the alley's entrance, withdrew his cold gaze and turned around expressionlessly, "He was just a dog who knew too much. The more he knew, the faster he died. This is the awareness a dog should have."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ To be a dog for a good-for-nothing, that kid didn't die in vain," Zhang Er said with a chuckle.
These words seemed to irritate Liang Shouji's nerves, causing his face to twitch. He asked coldly, "What do you mean by that!"
"What do I mean? Don't you know?" Zhang Er still had that chuckling expression as he said, "Using your position for personal gain, buying a cabinet full of books as decoration, a peak Fifth-Order strength unable to defeat someone at the late Fourth-Order... What? Did you even deceive yourself?"
As soon Er's words fell, the opposite Liang Shouji immediately pulled out two daggers from his lower back and charged towards him like an afterimage. One could tell at a glance that this was a speed-type talent of a martial artist!
But facing this extremely fast charge, a hint of playfulness flashed in Zhang Er's eyes. His right arm suddenly underwent a strange change, swelling up abruptly and transforming into a giant purplish-black arm, blocking in front of him.
"Bang, bang," two sounds like chopping on thick cowhide came, and Liang Shouji quickly retreated, staring at Zhang Er with a grim expression.
Seeing that Liang Shouji was no longer attacking, Zhang Er looked at him and smiled, "What, no more attacks? In that case, it's my turn!"
As his words fell, a sharp glint flashed in Zhang Er's eyes. A hint of cruelty suddenly appeared on his originally ordinary smiling face. He lifted his thick right arm and directly struck towards Liang Shouji!
Facing Zhang Er's straightforward punch, Liang Shouji's footsteps shifted slightly, trying to dodge, but at that moment, a dizzy spell came over his mind, and his body instantly went limp!
His expression suddenly changed drastically, but it was already too late to dodge. He could only assume a defensive stance with both hands, and then he was directly smashed to the ground by the purplish-black giant arm!
"Crack!"
As the sound of the ground cracking rang out, a trickle of blood flowed from Liang Shouji's mouth. He knew that this was the opponent holding back; after all, they were at the school gate, and even the Church of the Myriad Gods wouldn't dare to cause too much of a commotion.
"Poison? When!" Feeling his body losing strength, Liang Shouji couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Er slowly withdrew his hand and sneered, "Heh, what a good-for-nothing. You can't even recognize a Plague Envoy of the Church of the Myriad Gods. How laughable, how laughable, and you're still a teacher."
As he withdrew his hand, Liang Shouji felt his body regain strength, but facing the other party's ridicule, this time he chose to remain silent.
Because the facts proved that he, a peak Fifth-Order martial artist, indeed did not defeat this late Fourth-Order Envoy.
"But it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other later anyway." Zhang Er withdrew his mutation ability. This was an ability granted to him by his god, and also a characteristic of the people of the Church of the Myriad Gods.
"Today is just a lesson for you, to make you recognize your place. Your pathetic self-esteem is worthless to me, do you hear?" Saying this, Zhang Er squatted down, patted Liang Shouji's face, and said with a smile.
Liang Shouji, who was no match at all, could only say in a hoarse voice, "...Yes, Envoy Sir."
"Hmm, very good. The yellow-haired guy counts as your initiation. You've seen your next mission target, it's that kid named Lu Chenxing. As for how you got arrested, I believe you already know. He disrupted Our God's plan, so he has already found a path to death!"
Upon hearing the name Lu Chenxing, Liang Shouji's face began to twitch uncontrollably again!
He hadn't known who he had offended when he was arrested, but after being rescued from prison by people from the Church of the Myriad Gods, he knew: it was Lu Chenxing's words that led the mayor to arrest him!
Now he had been rescued from prison by the Church of the Myriad Gods, it was like mud falling into his pants—even if it wasn't excrement, it was seen as such!
Originally, he was just corrupt, and being arrested would mean a few years in prison or being sent to the front lines to atone. But now that he was involved with the Church of the Myriad Gods, there was only one word: death!
He blamed all of this on Lu Chenxing, completely disregarding that he could have chosen not to follow the people of the Church of the Myriad Gods when they broke him out of prison. He now only wanted Lu Chenxing to die!
......
Facing the silently approaching danger, Lu Chenxing seemed oblivious. He was still looking for his favorite restaurant for dinner, unaware that two factions were playing a game centered around him.
"Boss, a large bowl of shredded pork with pickled cabbage noodles, with extra chili!"
After wandering for a long time, Lu Chenxing still came to a nearby small noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles. As soon as he sat down, he heard a voice by his ear.
"Someone wants to kill you." The voice was indifferent yet firm.
The moment the voice sounded, Lu Chenxing instantly jumped onto the table, pulling out a handful of Bombardment Art cards and looking around, "Who!"
The surrounding diners' gazes also instantly turned towards him.
At this moment, the voice sounded again, with a hint of helplessness in its tone, "I am Shadow One. I am currently transmitting sound to you. Please calm down."
"Oh, oh." Hearing this name, Lu Chenxing remembered that there was still someone in his shadow, so he relaxed.
Relaxing, he felt the gazes of the people around him and was momentarily awkward on the table, his toes curling a bit. Then he quickly apologized to the boss, "I'm sorry, boss, I dirtied your table. Please pack my noodles for me, thank you."
Saying this, Lu Chenxing quickly jumped down, pulled out two tissues, wiped the table clean, and then sat back down as if on pins and needles, those gazes making him feel like he had thorns in his back.
"Anyway, I have information to tell you now. Just listen; you don't need to respond." Shadow One continued to speak to him after seeing him sit down.
"I received news that the Mayor's side discovered activity from the Church of the Myriad Gods. The Church of the Myriad Gods broke into Loshen City Prison. The target of the prison break was Liang Shouji."
"Liang Shouji was corrupt and oppressed students. He was originally going to be sent to the front lines. The Mayor speculates that they want to recruit this Fifth-Order martial artist to join them, or they need to use him for something."
"According to the Church of the Myriad Gods' modus operandi, the second possibility is greater, and what they use him for is very likely to be to act against you."
"After all, you and he have long-standing grievances. With his vengeful nature, plus the Church of the Myriad Gods pushing from behind, you should be their target."
Lu Chenxing had never expected that he would fall into a situation of being assassinated simply because of two First-Order blue cards, even though he had just turned 18!
