Chapter 4 Mysterious Restrictions
At the top of the city, the evening breeze carried a faint smell of blood as it swept in. Lu Xue leaned against the cold railing on the rooftop, her gaze fixed on the distant battlefield. Her clear eyes were filled with undisguised shock and admiration.
The earth-shattering scenes from just now were still churning in her mind.
She clenched her fists, her voice trembling with barely concealed excitement, and murmured, "My God, I knew my brother was strong, but I never imagined he was this ridiculously strong. Those strange beings that others see as ferocious and unstoppable are so utterly helpless in front of him. When my brother comes back, I'm going to pester him to teach me cultivation methods properly, so I can become as strong as him!"
Su Rourou stood close to Lu Xue, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, her originally fair cheeks flushed with a light blush.
His gaze fell upon the battlefield, but his eyes kept unconsciously following the figure standing between heaven and earth, upright as a pine tree, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Rourou finally mustered up her courage, turned her head slightly, her eyes darting around, and asked softly with a hint of shyness and bashfulness, "Ah Xue, what kind of girl does your brother usually like?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Su Rourou beside her, whose cheeks were flushed and eyes were darting around. She instantly understood what Su Rourou was thinking and couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and gently poked Su Rourou's arm, teasingly saying, "Oh, Su Rourou, I've always considered you my best friend. We talk about everything and are completely open with each other. You actually have this kind of idea in mind, wanting to become my sister-in-law right away, don't you?"
"No, no, no, that's really not true!" Caught off guard, Su Rourou panicked instantly, her cheeks flushing bright red all the way to her ears. She became completely flustered, frantically waving her hands and denying everything. "I just... I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything by it, please don't overthink it!"
She started to stutter, her eyes darting around nervously, unable to meet Lu Xue's gaze. Her shy and embarrassed appearance made Lu Xue chuckle.
Lu Xue stopped teasing her, withdrawing her playful gaze and turning her attention back to the smoke-filled battlefield. She sighed softly, her tone complex: "To be honest, I don't really know what kind of girl my brother likes now. Before, although he was excellent, he was still just an ordinary person. But now he's transformed, becoming so powerful that he can overturn rivers and seas and awe everything with a mere gesture. Once his fame spreads, countless top beauties will surely throw themselves at him, wanting to squeeze into his side. So, becoming my sister-in-law won't be easy. It all depends on your own abilities, on whether you can win his heart."
Su Rourou listened silently, lowering her eyes, her fingers clenching tighter, and she quietly made up her mind.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the clouds and mist were scattered and dispersed by the eerie malevolent energy and the powerful fluctuations of force.
Lu Heng stood in mid-air, surrounded by a faint golden halo, which was a protective divine light formed from his own cultivation. It seemed faint, but it contained a power that was invincible.
He slowly raised his right foot. This kick looked ordinary, without stirring up any violent wind or emitting any imposing pressure. But only Lu Heng himself knew what terrifying power was hidden beneath this seemingly gentle kick.
With his brows furrowed and his mind completely focused, he carefully mobilized the surging spiritual energy within his body, doing his utmost to control the output of his power, his eyes filled with extreme caution.
His physical body and spiritual power have now reached an unbelievable level. If he were to go all out, not only would he be able to easily crush these strange creatures in front of him, but he would probably crush the entire planet as well.
He only wanted to completely eradicate these strange entities, but he didn't want to harm the planet or affect the innocent creatures below. Therefore, he had to control every bit of power with extreme precision.
The high-level, eerie creature below struggled to raise its head, and the moment it saw Lu Heng lift his foot, it felt a deadly sense of crisis originating from the depths of its soul.
It was an absolute crushing of power, a complete suppression of the level of life, leaving it unable to even muster the thought of resistance.
The seemingly ordinary foot was actually carrying a world-destroying aura, slowly pressing towards it. Its pupils dilated rapidly with each landing foot, filled with extreme fear and despair.
The next second, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
"boom!!!"
A deafening roar pierced the sky, as if the heavens and earth trembled at that moment, followed by a crisp, ear-piercing cracking sound.
"Snap! Snap!"
The space beneath Lu Heng's feet instantly revealed countless dark cracks, like a spider web. The spatial power became chaotic, and the surrounding air was instantly compressed and exploded, forming terrifying energy ripples that swept wildly in all directions.
On the ground, those ordinary monsters that were entrenched there didn't even have a chance to resist. Under the impact of this terrifying power fluctuation, they all exploded and died instantly, turning into pools of foul-smelling black blood that dissipated into the world.
In the blink of an eye, the once dense and overwhelming army of strange creatures vanished completely, leaving only the high-level strange creature lying alone on the broken ground, trembling all over. Its original ferocious aura had disappeared, leaving only endless fear, and it didn't even have the strength to move its body.
After dealing with the minions, Lu Heng's figure flickered, the space beneath his feet slightly distorted, and he vanished into thin air, instantly teleporting to the front of the high-level, eerie creature.
His eyes were indifferent, devoid of any extra emotion. The most crucial thing right now was to find out the source of these strange occurrences.
These strange occurrences suddenly appearing in the world and causing chaos everywhere are by no means accidental; there must be a root cause behind them.
If the source is not found and completely eradicated, strange occurrences will continue to appear in the future, causing endless harm.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Heng raised his hand and flicked his fingers, a faint glow emanating from his fingertips. He immediately used the Soul Searching Technique, his powerful soul energy instantly probing into the advanced and eerie soul body, trying to find useful information about the source of the strangeness and the mastermind behind it.
To his surprise, this high-level monster had an extremely strange and domineering soul restriction planted in its body beforehand!
Just as Lu Heng's soul power touched its soul core and before he could find any useful information, the strange core hidden inside its body suddenly erupted with an extremely strong and eerie suction force.
"Awooo—!!"
The high-level eerie creature instantly let out a heart-wrenching, utterly miserable scream. Its massive body twisted and struggled uncontrollably, and its flesh withered rapidly at a visible speed as it was frantically absorbed by the eerie core.
In the blink of an eye, its entire body was completely devoured by the evil core. Then, the evil core, filled with evil power, exploded violently!
"Bang!!"
A billowing black cloud of smoke instantly shot into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud in the center of the battlefield. The eerie energy and the shock of the explosion spread out in all directions, blasting a huge crater into the surrounding ground. Debris and black blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was chaotic.
The onlookers, watching from afar, felt their hearts leap into their throats at the sudden explosion. They were all sweating bullets for Lu Heng, who was at the epicenter of the blast, and stared anxiously at the smoke-filled area, fearing that Lu Heng might be injured in the unexpected self-destruction.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the battlefield.
Before long, the dust and smoke slowly dissipated, and the scene in the center of the battlefield gradually became clear.
Lu Heng remained standing tall and straight, his protective divine light shimmering slightly, blocking all the explosive impacts and strange energy. His body was spotless and unharmed, not even a single strand of hair was disheveled.
He gently raised his hand, brushing away the wisp of smoke remaining in front of him. A slight smile played on his lips as he muttered to himself, "Interesting. I never imagined that someone would have laid such a trap behind all this strangeness. It seems the secret behind this is far more interesting than I imagined."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already made up his mind that no matter what forces or secrets were hidden behind it, he would definitely investigate to the end and eradicate all these hidden dangers completely.
