192: Chapter 192 Harvesting

Many heroes who had originally relied on their Special Abilities to fly in the air fell one after another after losing that reliance.

Afterward, they continued to try and find the feeling of using their Special Abilities, falling into a state of panic.

Chen Moxuan glanced at Lv Ling and found that the Aura Lv Ling emitted was several points stronger than when they had sparred.

At this moment, Lv Ling's compatibility with his contracted demon briefly reached over 90%.

The demon armor formed by Demon Possession was more complete compared to when he sparred with Chen Moxuan previously.

The faceplate that originally only covered half of his face had now begun to take the shape of a helmet, with two curved, protruding horns standing tall at the top.

On the surface of the armor, a hint of crimson faintly leaked through the peach-colored light patterns, making the entire set of armor look even more hideous and terrifying than before.

"Spiritual Sense can't extend outside the body either?"

Chen Moxuan subconsciously tried to use his Spiritual Sense to investigate, but he found that his Mental Energy seemed to be firmly bound within his mind, unable to extend outward in the slightest.

He immediately understood that this was definitely the influence of the black barrier Lv Ling had deployed using his Authority.

According to Lv Ling, within a certain range, his demon Authority could prevent all powers driven by Mental Energy as a Foundation from being used.

Looking at it now, the principle of this restriction was to block the external release of Mental Energy, thereby cutting off the Special Ability's influence on the outside world.

Right now, those heroes could not use their Special Abilities at all, possessing nothing but their relatively sturdy Physical Bodies.

On the other hand, for their side...

True Qi originated from the Physical Body, so Chen Moxuan's astonishing Martial Artist techniques were completely unaffected; at most, he just couldn't use Spiritual Sense to oversee the entire situation.

As for Lv Ling, his Physical Body was already unimaginably powerful; even for a Reinforcement Type A-Rank Hero, their body was as fragile as paper before him.

Chen Moxuan and Lv Ling glanced at each other without any nonsense.

Like wolves entering a flock of sheep, one on the left and one on the right, their figures were like lightning as they charged into the crowd with a sudden stride.

In an instant, flesh and blood splattered, and screams rose and fell one after another.

Although the Reinforcement Type A-Rank Heroes also had rich experience in frontal combat, in the past, they mostly relied on the absolute power brought by Special Ability reinforcement of the body to ruthlessly crush their opponents.

While there were no lack of people among them who had systematically studied some fighting arts, in this world where the Martial Dao had vanished, the level of the techniques they mastered was not even comparable to some low-grade Yellow-Rank Martial Skills.

In Chen Moxuan's eyes, these so-called fighting arts were no different from wild brawling.

Chen Moxuan's figure flashed lightly, easily dodging a punch thrown by a hero. Following that, his palm was like a blade as it struck the opponent's joint, directly crippling one of his arms.

Before the opponent could scream in pain, thunder rumbled in Chen Moxuan's palm, and a sharp bolt of lightning instantly pierced through his throat.

Chen Moxuan swung his arm back with great force, and his highly condensed lightning-attribute True Qi transformed into an incomparably sharp lightning blade, easily decapitating the man.

Not only that, the lightning blade's residual power did not diminish, cutting several heroes behind him who were about to launch a sneak attack in half at the waist.

After clearing this area, Chen Moxuan's pace did not stall at all as he immediately continued to gallop forward.

His limbs had already become the most lethal weapons, each swing accurately hitting a hero's vital point, instantly ending their life.

Like a God of Death harvesting lives, wherever he went, there was only silence and death.

In contrast, Lv Ling's side was much more brutal.

Under the Authority of the Demon of Lust, the rules of tracking marks that relied on Special Abilities would also temporarily fail.

This was a rare opportunity to vent his hatred toward the Transcendents without any reservation.

At the joints of his arm guards, crescent-shaped blades manifested from crimson peach light emerged.

He was like an out-of-control beast, rampaging and swinging his blades to slaughter at will, his entire being seemingly transformed into a blood-colored storm sweeping through.

The tough bodies of those heroes were actually as fragile as tofu before the blades.

As the blades fell, they instantly brought up large sprays of severed limbs and splattered blood.

However, his blade technique wasn't very precise; sometimes a single swing failed to kill the opponent directly, requiring a few extra strikes.

This gave the opponents a chance to scream.

"Speaking of which, where is that girl Song Xin?"

Chen Moxuan suddenly threw a punch, shattering the head of a hero whose eyes were full of fear like a watermelon.

Amidst the splattering blood, he actually started chatting with Lv Ling.

"After she used her Authority on me, she fell into a deep sleep due to paying the price."

Lv Ling didn't look back, his sharp blades swinging one after another like a violent storm, hacking the heroes before him into pieces as severed limbs flew everywhere.

"She used her Authority?"

Chen Moxuan's figure flashed as he threw a kick, actually kicking a hero's head into the air like a soccer ball.

"It's the emergency I mentioned earlier."

Lv Ling didn't stop his movements, explaining as he hacked away,

"Just after using my Authority, my contracted demon acted on a whim and insisted that I pay the price immediately."

"In my desperation, I had her use the Authority of Sloth to delay the time for paying the price."

Lv Ling explained while slaughtering.

Song Xin's demon Authority had already been told to Chen Moxuan when they discussed the battle plan.

Her Authority of Sloth had the effect of delaying a certain state or action.

For example, if someone was slashed, she could make the injury from that slash only manifest a few days later.

Or if someone was poisoned, she could also make the poison take effect after a period of time.

Her Authority could achieve all such things.

And the sleep time required for her to pay the price was closely related to the duration of the delay.

Depending on the complexity of the thing being delayed, the price to be paid would vary.

Therefore, bug-exploiting behavior like using her Authority to infinitely delay the time she had to pay her own price was impossible.

For instance, if she delayed the time for Lv Ling to pay the price to the demon by one hour, she would have to immediately sleep for half a day to pay the corresponding price.

If not for this, Lv Ling would have had to pay the price immediately, and his Soul would have once again resided in some unknown person's body.

He wouldn't be able to harvest heroes here with Chen Moxuan.

"Why is it that the Authority of Lust can disable Mental Energy?"

Chen Moxuan cleanly killed another hero under his palm and continued to ask.

He had heard of the concept of the Seven Devil Kings of Hell in his previous life on Blue Star.

They corresponded to the seven original sins of humanity: Sloth, Lust, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, and Pride.

Song Xin's demon Authority indeed had a very Sloth-like style.

But Lv Ling's Authority felt like it was hard to relate to Lust.

"The Demon of Lust, Asmodeus, wants people to be immersed in carnal desires and ignore spiritual needs."

"Imprisoning Mental Energy is the manifestation of the Authority he granted."

"I see."

With Lv Ling's explanation, Chen Moxuan understood instantly, and he became increasingly curious about these demon Authorities.

According to Song Xin, after killing so many Transcendents, he had long met the conditions to become a Madman and had the qualification to go to the Contract Land.

As long as there was an opportunity, she could apply to the President to take Chen Moxuan to the Contract Land.

"You... you two devils!"

In the blink of an eye, one companion after another died violently before their eyes, blood splattering on the spot.

Yet those two acted as if they were uninvolved, chatting leisurely while striking ruthlessly, continuously harvesting the lives of the Transcendents.

The heroes finally woke up as if from a dream, startled to find that they had become lambs to be slaughtered, without any power to resist.

Unprecedented fear shrouded their hearts.

"I know! It must be the influence of that black gas from before."

"As long as we run out, we can use our Special Abilities!"

One hero looked at the boundary of the black cover in the distance, hope igniting in his eyes.

That boundary was only a thousand meters away from them; at his current speed, he could reach it in less than a minute by sprinting with all his might.

However, as soon as he said those words, he immediately felt deep regret.

When they came, there were over thirty A-Rank Heroes and over a hundred and twenty B-Rank Heroes.

Of the original 150-plus people, only fewer than seventy remained now.

The speed of those two demons, who slaughtered Transcendents as easily as crushing ants, was simply fast to an inconceivable degree.

In this one minute, they were fully capable of slaughtering half of the remaining people!

He should have let those who were unaware stay behind as scapegoats to stall for time while he ran first—that would have been the best plan!

Sure enough, as soon as his shout fell, the people around him didn't even pause their steps, breaking into a mad dash toward the boundary.

In this short time, they had already deeply realized that without their Special Abilities, they were no match for these two at all.

The only chance for survival was to escape the range covered by that black barrier.

Run, run for your life!

As long as you run faster than the others, there is hope for survival!

"If I let even one of you escape, I'll be this!"

Chen Moxuan extended his thumb and pointed it down fiercely.

The exhaustion from the previous siege by the Transcendents had already been recovered.

Thunder roared like a furious Dragon, light flared intensely around him, and the Thunder God Battle Method was powerfully activated once again.

Lightning swept through, and wherever it went, countless Transcendents were turned into piles of mangled flesh, utterly tragic.
