Chapter 429
The man quickly reported through the earpiece, “The target has entered the high-speed rail station, possibly planning to leave Baihe City by high-speed rail. Destination unknown.”
“Received. Continue to follow and track.”
“Understood,” the man replied, getting out of the car and casually walking toward the high-speed rail station.
As the young officer approached the entrance to a special passage at the station, he suddenly turned and gave the man a deep, penetrating look. The cold gaze pierced the distance, landing precisely on the man. Instantly, the strong man felt his scalp tingle, as if someone had pressed a gun to his forehead.
“Damn it!” he cursed, instinctively turning to run. But in the next second, an invisible blade wave sliced through the air at lightning speed.
Swish—
The man froze mid-stride, his head flying off in a large arc.
“There’s a terrorist at the seven o’clock direction, one thousand meters away. I’ve dealt with him; send someone to clean up,” Lu Sheng instructed calmly, withdrawing his gaze.
The major general of the Dongning Provincial Military Region, who had been following him, was stunned. He instinctively turned to look in the seven o’clock direction and saw a figure lying in a pool of blood. There was no time to be shocked. He quickly ordered the officers beside him to handle the situation, then hurriedly followed Lu Sheng into the high-speed rail station.
As he walked, the more the major general observed the upright figure walking just a meter ahead of him, the more shocked he felt. The method of silently beheading an enemy from a thousand meters away was simply incomprehensible. If he hadn’t known Xia Pingnan for many years and heard it from his own mouth, he would never have believed that such a terrifyingly powerful top-tier star general was not even twenty years old this year.
What kind of world is this …
The major general felt a surge of emotion, his will as a Grandmaster slightly shaken.
Lu Sheng continued walking with a calm expression. He proceeded along a special passageway prepared for him by the military, with no one else around. As he was about to board the high-speed train, he estimated that the Black Devil Society spy had already relayed his movements. Since the opponent was so close, he had casually eliminated him.
With his current level of spiritual power, at a distance of one thousand meters, using the invisible blade wave of the “Heavenly Wish Wheel Blade,” killing a Level 6 Martial Artist was almost effortless.
“Over here, sir!” a voice called.
Lu Sheng had already reached the high-speed train. Just like when he arrived, this train was prepared exclusively for him. The journey to Jingdu Province would take two days and two nights.
“Given the time and distance … it should be enough to draw out those rats,” Lu Sheng thought as he boarded the train, receiving the same special treatment as before. But this time, there was no Li Die beside him.
Instead, a short-haired, capable female officer of about the same age as Li Die was waiting for him in the carriage.
“Colonel Guo Aiying of the Eastern Military Region reporting, sir!” The female officer, with striking features and a hint of heroism between her brows, saluted and greeted Lu Sheng.
“Take a seat,” Lu Sheng said casually as he sat down in a massage chair.
“Yes, sir,” Guo Aiying replied, sitting upright in a seat next to Lu Sheng. In front of her was an array of professional communication instruments, along with various computers and other equipment.
“This operation will be conducted with my assistance. Please feel free to issue any orders, sir,” Guo Aiying stated seriously, her posture rigid, with not a single muscle relaxed. Even her temples glistened with sweat.
Noticing her tense demeanor, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but offer some comfort. “No need to be so nervous. I just need you to handle a few small tasks. It won’t be too troublesome. Just relax.”
Guo Aiying nodded, but her body remained taut, showing no signs of easing up.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng shook his head slightly and chose not to say anything further.
By this time, the high-speed train had already started moving slowly. Lu Sheng extended his spiritual power completely, radiating outwards from the train car, covering a range of thirty kilometers like a radar, monitoring everything around him.
Then, he reached into a box at his feet and took out a bottle of dark gold, almost black liquid. It was a vial of Grade 8 Exotic Marrow.
He uncorked the bottle and drank it as if it were a simple beverage. As the energy from the fluid began to surge within his body, Lu Sheng leaned back fully into his chair and slowly closed his eyes, as if he were about to take a nap.
The plan had already been set in motion. Now, he needed to prepare for the imminent arrival of those “rats” who were coming from far away.
The large Blood Essence Pellet in his chest began to rotate and grow underthe influx of energy. As it expanded, it reached a critical size, then suddenly stopped and quietly shattered. In that instant, a torrent of vital energy surged through Lu Sheng’s body.
The “Divine Illumination Meditation Scripture” amplified this surge, and Lu Sheng could feel the powerful energy coursing through him, propelling him toward the next stage of his evolution.
He was now on the verge of breaking through to the seventh Immortal Cell.
The immense power of the Blood Essence Pellet, combined with the effects of the Grade Eight Exotic Marrow, created a potent force that attacked the seventh Immortal Cell. Lu Sheng’s body trembled slightly as the energy stormed through his veins, igniting the dormant potential within his cells.
Every fiber of his being was focused on this breakthrough. The world outside the train faded into the background as his consciousness turned inward, concentrating solely on the transformation taking place within him. He could feel the energy battering against the barriers of the seventh Immortal Cell, trying to breach its defenses.
Slowly, cracks began to form. The seventh Immortal Cell, which had remained unawakened until now, started to yield under the relentless assault of the combined energies. Lu Sheng’s body emitted a faint, almost imperceptible glow as the energy seeped through every part of him, revitalizing and strengthening his physical form.
The sensation was both painful and exhilarating. His muscles tensed, his bones creaked under the pressure, and his veins felt like they were on fire. But through it all, Lu Sheng remained calm, his breathing steady, his mind clear. He had been through this process six times before and knew that this was the crucial moment.
With one final push, the energy shattered the last remnants of the barrier. The seventh Immortal Cell awakened, its dormant power flooding Lu Sheng’s system. His body absorbed the energy like a parched desert soaking up rain. Every cell in his body resonated with newfound strength and vitality.
As the energy settled, Lu Sheng felt a profound sense of completeness, a wholeness that had been missing until now. The awakening of the seventh Immortal Cell marked a significant leap in his power. He could feel the difference immediately—his senses were sharper, his thoughts quicker, and his body stronger than ever before.
He opened his eyes, the calm returning to his expression, but with a new intensity behind his gaze. The power he now held was immense, and he knew it was only the beginning. The enemies that were converging on him, the “rats” as he called them, had no idea what awaited them.
As the high-speed train hurtled toward Jingdu Province, Lu Sheng remained seated, his mind already strategizing the next steps. He would be ready when they came for him, and this time, they would face the full might of a Martial Artist who had just unlocked yet another level of his terrifying potential.
In the quiet of the train compartment, with only the hum of the rails beneath him, Lu Sheng closed his eyes again—not to rest, but to meditate, to consolidate his newfound power and prepare for the battles that lay ahead.
