Chapter 132: Chapter 4: If One Comes, I’ll Kill One (Part 2)

The guide, Zhong Muhua, and the others, however, snapped to their senses. Their faces went deathly pale as they desperately covered their ears.

Some things were better left unknown. If you found them out…

Xu Qingqiu also reacted at this moment. She looked at the young man beside her in disbelief and hissed:

“You’re insane!”

Xu Linda—or rather, Mukai Rindo—was just panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the Celestial Human:

“Now everyone knows. There’s no point in taking us back. Please, let us go. The treasure is in the suitcase too…”

The Celestial Human coolly lifted his eyelids, a mocking smile on his face:

“Are you trying to drag everyone in this town down with you to their deaths? Fine. I will grant your wish.”

Mukai Rindo gave a bitter smile and said nothing, while Xu Qingqiu stared at him in utter disbelief, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Zhong Muhua’s heart sank. ’This is bad,’ she thought. She gritted her teeth, pulled a dazed Zhong Xiaoyu behind her, and shakily stood up. A respectful and humble smile appeared on her face:

“Sir, we are from the Zhong Family in the city. We didn’t hear a thing…”

The Celestial Human, however, ignored her and scanned his surroundings, asking:

“Where is the hovercar?”

It was as if Zhong Muhua’s spine had been ripped out. She collapsed into her chair, her face ashen.

She knew it was over.

Sakata Heavy Industries and the Evil Cult… Sakata Heavy Industries would never allow such news to get out, even without any solid evidence!

This entire town… would probably be…

Zhong Muhua hugged the oblivious Zhong Xiaoyu tightly.

Just when everyone had fallen into despair.

GULP, GULP, GULP…

On the verge of a breakdown, Xu Qingqiu subconsciously glanced over. It was the young man named Lu Xuan, downing the soy milk in his cup.

“Eat.” After finishing his soy milk, the young man stuffed the last large meat bun into the girl’s hand. Then, under everyone’s dumbfounded gazes, he slowly stood up.

“Hmm, and which family’s junior are you?” Seeing his calmness, the Celestial Human felt a flicker of curiosity and asked lightly.

Lu Xuan didn’t answer. He simply looked at Mukai Rindo and Xu Qingqiu:

“Take me to the files. The files on Sakata Heavy Industries and the Evil Cult.”

His voice was cold, bone-chillingly so.

Mukai Rindo and Xu Qingqiu looked up, stunned. They stared at the young man as if he were a lunatic…

No, he *was* a lunatic.

Zhong Muhua was also bewildered. In contrast, Zhong Xiaoyu, in her arms, was the calmest. Ignorant of the danger, she felt no fear. She reached out a chubby little hand toward Yan Jiangxue:

“Big sister, give me half!”

“Okay!”

The elegant woman stared blankly as the exceptionally pretty girl beside her beamed, tore the bun in half, and handed one piece over. She then nonchalantly started eating her own half.

Her brain seemed to short-circuit.

However, the next second, seeing that Mukai Rindo and Xu Qingqiu were frozen and unresponsive, Lu Xuan shook his head. He looked indifferently at the astonished Celestial Human and said:

“Your killer is Lu Xuan.”

Xiaoyan swallowed the last bite of her bun, reached out a soft hand, and covered Zhong Xiaoyu’s eyes.

“Little kids aren’t allowed to watch!”

On the other side, the Celestial Human froze for a moment, then his expression changed drastically.

He saw the young man extend a hand and slowly press down. Within his palm, dark and profound, seemed to lie the vast, boundless, and mighty vault of heaven, flipping over to smash down!

In the distance, the few townspeople who were watching all had their expressions change. The Big Black Bull sneezed, and the Old Black Dog shivered.

Yang Erlang’s eyes narrowed sharply. The fat old man staggered, nearly falling over. And Li Changgeng, with his white hair and beard, muttered distractedly to himself:

“From the Heaven-Flipping Seal Three Forms… Heaven and Earth Inversion?”

The next instant.

The terrifying might of the heavens and earth toppling over locked onto the Celestial Human. He was both shocked and enraged. A rainbow of light gathered as his Spiritual Will manifested, his form once again taking the shape of a Great Sun!

And then.

The Great Sun was extinguished. Its aura dissipated.

Under the bewildered gazes of Zhong Muhua and the others, the young man lightly pressed his palm down, placing it on the Celestial Human’s head.

An immense force, like a collapsing mountain, poured into him with a ROAR. The Divine Ladder shattered, his physical body disintegrated, and his soul was extinguished!

The once high and mighty Celestial Human’s body went limp and crumpled to the ground, his life force gone.

The entire town fell into silence.

Dead… He’s dead?

The middle-aged guide looked around blankly. Zhong Muhua, Xu Qingqiu, and the others all felt as if they were trapped in a dream.

This polite young man who had been chatting and laughing with them the whole trip… had killed a Celestial Human with a single, casual slap??

The scene was too surreal. The shock was too much for them. They were all dazed and trembling, feeling a tingling numbness crawl up their backs as their hair stood on end.

But the young man just dusted off his hands. His Divine Thought spread out, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifying Spiritual Will reached out and pulled the hovercar from outside the town toward them.

He opened the car door, pulled out the suitcase belonging to Xu Qingqiu and her partner, and set it on the wooden table.

He said to the two of them coolly:

“Take it out.”

Mukai Rindo and Xu Qingqiu finally snapped back to reality. Their eyes, as they looked at the young man, were filled with terror and awe.

Xu Qingqiu shakily opened the suitcase, then opened a hidden compartment inside, and took out a stack of paper files and an ancient-looking wooden box.

She began to speak, her voice trembling:

“S-Senior, the information is in these files. I don’t know what’s in the box, but it seems… it seems to be a Supreme Treasure of Sakata Heavy Industries…”

Lu Xuan took them without looking up and asked coolly:

“Your identities?”

“I… I’m Xu Qingqiu. I was an intern at Sakata Heavy Industries. This is my partner, Mukai Rindo. He’s a senior researcher there… We discovered all this by accident!”

Lu Xuan paid her no more attention, quietly flipping through the files in his hands. The more he read, the more intense the anger in his eyes became.

Inside the file were three ancient-looking handwritten orders. The characters on them were filled with Dao Rhyme, and they appeared to be from the hand of a True Immortal at the very least. Judging by the tone, they came from the power behind the Evil Cult. The content was also simple.

They essentially demanded the cooperation of Sakata Heavy Industries’ upper management for a great sacrifice involving three cities, one of which was East Sea City.

He silently put away the three orders. In the dead silence, Lu Xuan asked coolly:

“Why did this show up at the Sakata branch in Wutong City? Do you have high-level executives in Wutong City right now?”

“Yes…” Xu Qingqiu said timidly. “A director from the board is in the city right now… Rindo is a senior researcher with high-level clearance. When he went to report…”

Lu Xuan was in no mood to listen to her story. He waved his hand to cut her off and then opened the wooden box.

He froze.

Inside the box lay… an egg?

Just then, Xiaoyan’s clear voice rang out:

“I sent a message to my dad. It’s not convenient for him to come here directly. Wutong City is controlled by Sakata Heavy Industries, and tensions with them have been high recently. Dad wants us to leave this area first.”

Lu Xuan closed the wooden box and nodded decisively.

“Alright, you take the hovercar. Get Aunt Zhong and the others out of here first. These two will stay with me, in case you run into a Sakata Heavy Industries checkpoint on the way.”

“What about you, Xiaolu?” Yan Jiangxue asked, a little worried.

“Me? I’ll stay for now. A Celestial Human from Sakata Heavy Industries died here, so they’ll send someone else to investigate. If I just leave, the town will likely suffer an undeserved disaster.”

As he spoke, Lu Xuan looked up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

“However many they send, I’ll kill. I might as well collect some interest.”

“Kill one if one comes… but what if two come?” Xiaoyan asked, confused.

“Two of them?”

Lu Xuan smiled lightly and teased:

“Then I’ll run, of course!”
