Chapter 282 No one dies for no reason!

A black figure was treading up the steps, one by one.

He had an East Asian face, carried a ghost head blade in his hand, and had a blue Shui Bobo on his shoulder.

"Hmm?"

Kuroda Hikari's pupils contracted slightly.

Judging by his language, this guy definitely came from Huaxia, but wasn't that team just now the main combat force of Huaxia?

Kuroda Hikari looked at the blade in the other person's hand; the black ribbon on the hilt fluttered without wind, and purple patterns were still slowly flowing along the blade...

"Good blade."

Kuroda Hikari evaluated with two words, then asked coldly: "So, my teammates really weren't killed by those three people just now, but by you, right?"

Chen Yu nodded. "Naturally."

Kuroda Hikari gently pressed the tip of the broken Glass against the palm of his left hand, without pressing down.

"I will also give you two choices: stay forever or... hand over your supplies and leave."

Chen Yu shook his head: "What if I don't choose either?"

Kuroda Hikari was silent for a moment. "After killing so many of our people, do you think you can still pass safely? Your Excellency, aren't you looking down on us Awakened from Sakura Country too much?"

Chen Yu laughed: "I never have."

"You're courting death!"

Kuroda Hikari fiercely dragged the tip of the broken Glass across his left palm. This time, it was an extremely deep cut.

Cutting from the web of his thumb all the way to his wrist, dark red blood gushed out from the wound, dripping one by one onto the stone bricks along his hanging fingertips.

"Bang!!!"

Kuroda Hikari's figure flew from his spot. In his blood-boiling state, his speed was even faster than when he fought Zhang Lieyang just now, his whole body trailing a dark red afterimage!

The broken Glass flipped in his palm, aiming straight for Chen Yu's throat!

"Attack!"

"Yes!"

Behind him, the two support Awakened reacted just as quickly!

One person suddenly clasped their hands together, and a gray light shield appeared out of thin air above Chen Yu's head, but before they could even fully close the shield, Chen Yu had already vanished from the coverage area!

Pure speed, it was too fast!

The gray light shield slammed down, trapping nothing but a running wind!

"How is this possible! What kind of speed is this?!"

The other person gritted their teeth as green energy surged frantically toward Kuroda Hikari!

But those green lights were still in mid-air and hadn't yet managed to wrap around Kuroda Hikari's body...

When Chen Yu, who had approached from the side, slapped them away!

"?"

"Baka?! What the hell!"

The translation rule translated it directly into his mother tongue, which was enough to show how shocked he was!

The next second!

Chen Yu had arrived!

The ghost head blade slashed diagonally upward from the lower right, without any fancy opening moves, just a single strike!

Plain and unremarkable!

But it was damn powerful!

"???"

In a state of shock, Kuroda Hikari activated his only shield item!

"Hum!"

But the shield only lasted for two seconds!

"Bang!!!"

His entire body was sent flying, crashing heavily into a stone wall seven or eight meters away!

"Rumble—"

He slid down the wall, spitting out mouthful after mouthful of blood!

"Impossible..."

"Impossible..."

"I am an SS-rank powerhouse! I am an SS-rank powerhouse of Sakura Country! By what right do you..."

"Hum!"

He raised his head, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw the purple blade filling his entire field of vision!

Speed, strength, both were incomparable!

Even under weakening and heavy pressure, they were still incomparable!

Is this guy even human?!

Even against an SSS-rank powerhouse, he would have had the confidence to fight!

But this time...

"Squelch!"

Kuroda Hikari's head flew off, and a column of blood sprayed out!

The remaining two support Awakened were already scared out of their wits, scrambling toward the light source!

But under the heavy pressure, they were already exhausted, and their speed was as slow as turtles!

"Tap."

"Tap."

"Tap."

Chen Yu approached step by step, the ghost head blade in his hand still dripping blood...

"No! No! Big brother from Huaxia, senior from Huaxia, grandpa from Huaxia, spare us! Spare us!"

"We were forced to do this! Friends from Huaxia, Huaxia has always been a land of etiquette... We..."

"Squelch!"

"Squelch!"

Chen Yu couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense, killing them both with two strikes!

He prepared to continue absorbing!

This mission was simply a chosen training ground!

No other mission could gather so many powerhouses, so many SSS, SS, and S-ranks!

Only the Global Slaughterhouse could!

This precisely shortened Chen Yu's path to invincibility!

Especially what was coming next...

"Talent Release?"

Chen Yu's lips curled slightly. "I wonder what kind of things will happen..."

But just as Chen Yu was preparing to absorb, footsteps came from below, not just one person.

And every step was accompanied by heavy breathing, mixed with Owner Chen's deliberately raised voice, as if he were intentionally tipping someone off.

"Miss Song, the light source is getting dimmer and dimmer. I didn't expect this either. There isn't much time left..."

"...I know."

Song Xingmian's voice followed immediately, her tone unable to hide her disappointment: "Supplies can be requested again, but Talent Release only happens once. If he wants more money, then let's add more. Clear out the extra materials in your personal backpacks. Once he takes the supplies, he won't be desperate enough to fight to the death."

Zhang Lieyang was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "It's letting them off cheap, but... Miss Song is right. Talent Release is more important than anything. Let's go. I'll negotiate after we get up there."

The footsteps grew closer and closer.

Chen Yu quickly flashed away, darting behind a huge stone pillar.

Shui Bobo poked its head out from his shoulder, and just as it was about to make a gurgling sound, he yanked it back. Its two little black dot eyes blinked innocently.

"Shh."

Chen Yu made a gesture.

Song Xingmian and the others walked up from below the corridor.

She was calculating in her mind which supplies to hand over: "A few spare shield items must be kept. Two acceleration items left is enough. The Low-grade Energy Cores can all be given..."

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Zhang Lieyang was walking at the very front, his voice even trembling a little.

"What's wrong?"

Song Xingmian walked up, shoulder-to-shoulder with him, and also saw the scene in front of them.

Three corpses...

Song Xingmian opened her mouth: "What kind of joke is this, are they all dead?"

She turned her head abruptly: "Owner Chen, do you know something?"

Just now, he had tried his best to persuade her to leave.

As it turned out, upon returning, it was exactly as he had said.

Chen Muqing sighed lightly: "Miss Song, I don't know anything..."

"Then why did you urge me to leave just now?"

"I wanted to find Lu Heng first."

"But where is Lu Heng?"

"Didn't find him."

"Then how did all these people up here die?"

"Don't know."

"You..."

Song Xingmian looked at Chen Muqing's calm and emotionless expression, and felt a burst of anger.

She said seriously: "Owner Chen, people do not die for no reason! I now have reason to suspect..."

Before she could finish, she suddenly looked toward the huge stone pillar to the side, and then frowned.
