83: Chapter 83 Killing Star

"Sir, they have already walked out of the school. Should we make our move on the street?"

In a corner a hundred meters away from Ling Yichen, a young man who looked like a passerby spoke into his communicator.

Besides him, there were many others around him just like him.

They were all from an assassination organization secretly cultivated by the Lin family, intended to deal with people or matters that were inconvenient to resolve openly.

They also had an exclusive name called Night Shadow.

Night Shadow was a massive organization with tens of thousands of members, specializing in assassination missions, and was one of the many forces of the Lin family.

After the Lin family received the vow given by Elina, they immediately decided to send Night Shadow to assassinate Ling Yichen.

This time, they dispatched a total of 20 Night Shadow members: 10 D-rank, 5 Lower C-rank, 3 Middle C-rank, and 2 Upper C-rank.

With such a powerful lineup, let alone killing one Ling Yichen, it would even be enough to kill someone who was Upper C-rank or Lower B-rank.

Therefore, at this moment, they were very confident in this operation.

"Don't be impatient, let's see what the people from the other families do first!" A voice came from the young man's communicator.

The young man frowned slightly; in his view, now was the best opportunity.

What he didn't know was that killing Ling Yichen was very simple; the difficult part was how to eliminate Ling Yichen in front of the other families—that was the key.

Ling Yichen was currently prey that all the Six Great Families were fighting over; whoever snatched him first was the most crucial factor.

It was imaginable that once one family made a move, the people from the other families would also make their move immediately, and it was even possible that they would prevent other families from acting.

Therefore, the timing of the strike was very important.

...

Ling Yichen did not know about these things, nor did he want to know.

At this moment, however, he was full of anticipation for the enemy's assassination attempt.

"I've been busy cultivating for the past few days and haven't had a good hunt. It's time to replenish, and it just so happens that I urgently need Spirit Worms to forge my body!"

Yes, the best way to obtain Spirit Worms was to hunt Awakened Ones, devour their flesh and blood, and thereby allow the Worms to evolve into Spirit Worms.

However, for the past few days, Ling Yichen had been busy with various matters and had not taken the initiative to hunt others.

But now, since someone had voluntarily come to his doorstep, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

He wasn't afraid of how many came; his appetite was huge. If one came, he would kill one; if ten came, he would kill five pairs; if a hundred came, he wouldn't mind staining the sky with blood.

Thinking this, he and Tian Yingying had already walked a good distance from the school.

But that feeling not only didn't decrease, it increased; clearly, more people had murderous intent toward him.

At this, Ling Yichen smiled.

While laughing, he said to Tian Yingying, "If a fight really breaks out later, you can also try to kill one or two, and then let the Spirit Worms devour their flesh and blood."

"After the Spirit Worms devour flesh and blood, they will reproduce and evolve. By then, you will possess more Worms and Spirit Worms, and your own strength will also become stronger. This is the simplest and most direct way to increase your strength!"

Ling Yichen transformed into a mentor, personally teaching Tian Yingying how to hunt Awakened Ones and increase her strength.

At this moment, Tian Yingying's eyes were full of vigilance; within her gaze, there was solemnity, nervousness, and also a little bit of excitement.

She hadn't killed anyone before!

She didn't know what it felt like to kill someone.

Just as she was thinking this, a stylish-looking auntie on the side of the road quietly approached, and she felt nothing wrong with it at all.

Until Ling Yichen softly shouted, "You're courting death!"

The next second, the stylish auntie let out a cry of surprise and then fell straight down, bleeding from her seven orifices. She kept using her hands to scratch her face, and with each scratch, large chunks of flesh fell off her face, and the same was true for her body.

But immediately, that flesh turned into clusters of Worms. The Worms quickly gathered, forming a Flesh Paste Monster with no fixed shape, which lunged directly at the surrounding pedestrians.

In an instant, the scene was in chaos; screams, shrieks, and wails rang out continuously.

It was after-school time, and there were still quite a few ordinary students and office workers on the road.

Of course, Ling Yichen wouldn't attack those people; he only killed those who had active intentions to attack.

As early as the moment he walked out of the school gate, he had spread out a large web of Worms. Within a hundred-meter radius centered on him, he already had a precise positioning in his mind of who was an enemy and who was a passerby.

As long as the other party harbored murderous intent, then the one to die would definitely be themselves, just like that stylish auntie.

She had actually been parasitized by Ling Yichen long ago; it was just that Ling Yichen hadn't killed her yet.

Only when she intended to attack Tian Yingying, who was beside him, did he choose to activate the Worms in her body and devour her.

-

As the first person fell, the surrounding environment was like someone throwing a stone into a lake, creating ripples. Countless people were stimulated at this moment and began to quickly close in on Ling Yichen, their murderous intent no longer hidden at all.

Seeing this, Ling Yichen's lips curled slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Just in time!"

He snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the seven or eight people closest to him exploded simultaneously—yes, exploded. Their flesh turned into a sky full of blood mud in an instant, but then, in another instant, it retracted. All the flesh turned into individual Worms; these Worms detached directly from the bones, forming a second and third Flesh Paste Monster, which lunged at the enemies in the distance.

In this instant, there were eight more Flesh Paste Monsters near Ling Yichen, lunging to kill the enemies in the distance.

If someone didn't know the truth, they would only think it was an invasion by the Demon Race.

After all, those few Flesh Paste Monsters didn't look like something humans could control.

The eight Flesh Paste Monsters moved very quickly, and their attack methods were very strange; once pounced on, there was almost no chance to break free.

Even without being pounced on by the Flesh Paste Monsters, those people were all doomed to die, because they had all been parasitized.

As long as Ling Yichen was willing, these people would die suddenly in an instant and become nutrients for the Worms.

However, that would look extremely horrifying, perhaps even shocking to the world.

He didn't want to reveal such a terrifying ability right now, fearing it would cause panic.

If the people from the Six Great Families or the Supernatural Management Association knew that he could parasitize thousands of people and decide their life and death with a single thought, I fear the heads of the Six Great Families and the supreme leaders of the Supernatural Management Association would also be startled.

Of course, the result of that would be the Six Great Families and the Supernatural Management Association encircling and killing him.

With his current ability, dealing with anyone below B-rank was a group instant-kill.

But dealing with B-rank and above, there was almost no possibility of victory.

So he still needed to lie low and improve his strength.

In a few minutes, the chaos tended to end.

The eight Flesh Paste Monsters quickly finished off all the enemies nearby, devoured their flesh and blood, and then disappeared.

The scene was left with only dozens of ghastly white skeletons, which was very horrifying.

As for Ling Yichen and Tian Yingying, they left the scene quickly like other passersby, without staying too long, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

In fact, from the outside, it really had nothing to do with them.

Throughout the entire hunting process, Ling Yichen only snapped his fingers and did nothing else.

Even if people from the Supernatural Management Association came to investigate, it wouldn't have much connection to him.

It was all done by those Flesh Paste Monsters; what does it have to do with me, Ling Yichen?

He could wash his hands completely clean of it!

The two hurried back to Chenxiang Garden; Ling Yichen's expression was calm, while Tian Yingying had a look of annoyance on her face.

"Ah!! Such a good opportunity, and I didn't even kill a single person!"

She wished she could slap herself twice.

Today was a rare occasion to encounter enemies while with Ling Yichen, and she knew of Ling Yichen's strength.

With him guarding on the side, she could be one hundred percent at ease about her own safety.

It was just that she also wanted to join the battle and cultivate her own combat skills.

Unfortunately...

There was simply no opportunity for her to act.

Those enemies died too quickly; before she could even react, everything was already over.

Ling Yichen seemed to perceive her thoughts, looked up at her, and smiled dotingly, saying, "It's okay, there might be many such opportunities in the future. I just hope you won't be afraid when the time comes!"

Hearing this, Tian Yingying immediately puffed out her chest and said with a serious face, "I will definitely not be afraid. I will also become an existence as powerful as you, Sir!"

Ling Yichen smiled.

After all, Tian Yingying was a little younger than him and hadn't experienced as much as he had; overall, she still had a bit of a child's temperament.

However, he could indeed feel her resilience, and he firmly believed she could grow.

"Mm, keep it up!"

Subsequently, the two began to walk towards their home.

On the other side, at the location where the battle took place.

After receiving the notification, the Supernatural Management Association immediately sent people over. The leaders were none other than the middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and Liu Mei.

When he saw those white skeletons, his expression became very grave.

At this time, someone from the Supernatural Management Association came to report: "Sir, there are a total of 42 white skeletons, identities unknown!"

The person reporting also had a complex expression; there was only a pile of white bones left, not even a bit of flesh remained. How were they supposed to verify their identities?

Hearing this report, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Mei, and at this moment, Liu Mei was holding a tablet, and the tablet was playing the surveillance of this area.

"Any discoveries?" the middle-aged man asked.

Liu Mei immediately shook her head: "Judging from the on-site video, there are no obvious suspects."

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly, and he whispered: "Could it really be an invasion by an alien race? It's just, what kind of race can strip away flesh in an instant?"

As he spoke, he looked up at the video in Liu Mei's hand. In the video, there were eight Flesh Paste Monsters attacking others. Any person who was pounced on by them turned into a white skeleton almost instantly, and their flesh disappeared without a trace."

After watching the entire content of the video, he said again: "If it really is an invasion by an alien race, then it must be reported to the military to see if there was a slip-up somewhere that allowed the alien race to enter the human realm."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei just nodded gently without saying much, and her eyes were staring at the two figures on the bottom left of the screen.

Although those two figures were not very clear, she could tell at a glance that one of the two people was none other than Ling Yichen.

Her lips curled slightly upward, and she thought to herself, "Little guy, you've been discovered by big sister!"
