Chapter 92: An Eye for an Eye (Part Two)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the forest, once Chu Lingjun confirmed that Gao Yong and the others’ corpses had been devoured by the mutated beasts, he turned around and left.
The electric eel clone returned to the sunken ship, grabbed a few mutated beasts, tore their corpses apart, and threw them into the cargo hold.
The blood quickly attracted other exotic beasts, and the sunken ship was immediately swarmed. This made all the goods in the cargo almost unattainable at this point.
Chu Lingjun nodded in satisfaction. All traces of the sunken ship had been erased.
He was now the only one who knew about the 190 Sun Fruits.
In Quicksand Town, the mutated beasts were forced to temporarily retreat. The soldiers who had fought for many days finally got a breather.
Even if the battle outside the city wall had taken a pause, the battle in the city continued.
The city was still in flames, and explosions could be heard from time to time.
After a day of emergency evacuation, most of the people had already entered the underground bomb shelter. Although the explosions in the city continued, thankfully there were not many casualties.
However, when the drones showed all the collapsed buildings, everyone’s heart ached.
It would cost a lot of money to reconstruct the town back to the way it was.
In Quicksand High School…
“Chu Lingjun, you did so well!”
“That’s right. If not for you, we might not have been able to catch those beasts…”
The teachers of Quicksand High School surrounded the man of the hour. With the help of Chu Lingjun’s Electric Field, other than the bald-winged man who had escaped, almost all of the enemy was wiped out!
This made everyone extremely happy, and they felt a sense of pride knowing that this student was from this school!
“It’s mainly thanks to all of you that it was possible. I was just a messenger.” Chu Lingjun said humbly.
This humble and low-key behavior immediately made the teachers praise Chu Lingjun even more.
His cultivation kept growing, but his attitude remained pleasant. Everyone was impressed!
After everyone had their time to rest, other than some weaker students who entered the underground bomb shelter, all the Year One students went to the front wall to do logistics work.
The military and the Ministry of Education didn’t allow students to go past the city walls, but they were allowed to help out with some logistics work — such as transporting firearms, bullets, and food.
Under the leadership of the teachers, the students of Year Two and Year Three began to clean up the divine blood warrior in the city with the city guards. Some even managed to suppress the criminals who took advantage of the chaos to maintain order.
Chu Lingjun, who possessed the Electric Field skill, was recruited once again.
Chu Lingjun continued to quietly do his job as a messenger. He kept a low profile and followed the principal and Shen Yanhu closely.
With the addition of Quicksand High School and Chu Lingjun’s Electric Field ability, the riots in the city began to calm down. Everyone’s hope started to build up again.
The moment the sun rose, everything went back to what it was when the exotic beasts began to attack the city again.
After a night of battle, especially under the constant use of the Astral Helmet’s power, Chu Lingjun’s power started to diminish. His face was as pale as paper as he followed Shen Yanhu back to school to rest.
Chu Lingjun fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow. As he dozed off, the screams of a particular man could be heard…
In the basement of a villa in Quicksand Town… What used to be luxurious and resplendent, was now in a mess.
All the furniture was destroyed, and the decorations on the walls were split apart. The expensive and luxurious carpet was covered in blood, and the stench was terrible!
A middle-aged couple, three children, as well as a few martial artists, guards, and servants, were all nailed to the wall with long iron spears!
Even the five-year-old-looking boy was not spared.
Blood seeped out of the holes in the iron spear and formed a pool of blood under everyone’s feet.
However, there was one exception.
There was a middle-aged man in his forties who was tied up and hung from the ceiling. Unlike the others, there were no wounds on his body.
Compared to the other people in the basement, the man’s treatment seemed worse as he stood between life and death.
In the middle of the basement stood a black-robed figure with a red devilish mask on his face.
His hands, feet, and clothes were all stained with blood. It was obvious that the people nailed to the wall were his masterpiece.
The other divine blood warriors were wreaking havoc in the city and making merry, but as the leader, he had more important matters to attend to.
“Please… Let me go… If you let my family go, I’ll give you all my assets and the treasures in the safe!”
The owner of the villa was a man in his forties. He was lean and had a noble aura. In this state, his body was trembling as he begged the man in the mask.
Due to excessive blood loss, the man’s face was extremely pale, and his hair was messy.
He looked at his wife and child nervously. As a martial artist, he felt incapable. His wife and child, whose strength was inferior to his, were unconscious.
The man sneered under his mask. “Cao Shixi, it’s time to claim your retribution for all the heartless pain you did in the past!”
“This is a misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding between us. P-please, my child and wife are already unconscious! As long as you let them go, I can agree to any request you -”
Before Cao Shixi could finish his sentence, a sharp iron spear suddenly appeared in the masked man’s hand and stabbed straight into his body!
