CHAPTER 687: CHAPTER 686: SEEING THE LIGHT AND SHADOW ASSOCIATION AGAIN

"Some people always have to pay the price for their words, and now, not even the Star Network is lawless anymore, yet they still dare to talk recklessly."

He sent Zhu Hesheng flying with a sword strike, a man utterly lacking in combat experience.

Lu Zixun’s gaze was terrifyingly calm, "There’s also a saying, ’When the son fails to be taught, it’s the father’s fault.’ Seeing how agitated you are, you must be his father."

At this moment, Ge Changming, having received the message from Lu Zixun, burst into activity like a shot of adrenaline, beginning to contact various departments.

"West Garden, take a squadron of ten thousand to Zone 7, damn it, this Zhu Family actually dares to slander my sister-in-law. They’re truly asking for death!"

After sending Geng Xiyuan to lead the way to Zone 7, Ge Changming, who had cooled down, was suddenly filled with doubt.

Ordinarily, if someone was merely rude, Lu Zixun wouldn’t have been so agitated, so why did he directly kill someone today?

And in front of so many families, could it be that... he’s ready to confront Crimson head-on?

Annihilating a clan was satisfying indeed, but just for this reason, it seemed somewhat inadequate.

It would make the hard-earned good reputation of the Demon Country plummet all at once.

Thinking this, Ge Changming’s face bore a bitter taste, "Damn, I was too impetuous just now. I should have stopped Lu Zixun."

However, Lu Zixun was clearly not someone who would act impulsively without considering the consequences.

The act of killing Zhu Yi just now was partly driven by personal motives.

A significant part of it, though, was because Lu Zixun sensed a force called "guidance" in Zhu Yi’s voice.

This force could only be wielded by the Light and Shadow Association.

The fact that Zhu Yi could use it was telling enough.

It was previously thought that the Light and Shadow Association had dissolved during the world connection phase, but now it seemed the Association had merely changed its appearance without truly disappearing.

"Even if he has done something wrong, it’s not your place to punish him! Now that you’ve killed my son, I’ll make sure your whole family dies!"

Zhu Hesheng, seething with rage upon hearing Lu Zixun’s words, was even more inflamed with anger.

Unable to control his emotions, parts of his body showed signs of metallic transformation.

The inspiration for combining superpowers with technology had stemmed from the Light and Shadow Association’s union of flesh and tech.

Zhu Hesheng’s bodily metallization confirmed Lu Zixun’s speculation.

These families were undoubtedly connected with the Light and Shadow Association, although it was unclear how many other families were involved.

Regarding the issue of resolving the situation, Lu Zixun was still capable of handling it.

What Lu Zixun was pondering now was whether Crimson knew about the families they were protecting being connected to the Light and Shadow Association.

If they did know...

That would be interesting, considering the deity revered by the Light and Shadow Association was none other than the sin-saturated Lord of Sin, one who had destroyed the world’s rules.

Continuously parrying Zhu Hesheng’s relentless attacks, Lu Zixun also used Spiritual Energy Silk to observe the surrounding guests as they began to panic and flee.

Three-quarters of Zhu Hesheng’s body had already undergone shellification, with Spiritual Energy flowing along the metallic patterns on his skin, and Zhu Hesheng’s power was growing increasingly formidable.

Examining the metal on the exterior of Zhu Hesheng’s body, Lu Zixun’s eyes reflected contemplation.

Even in this state, Zhu Hesheng hadn’t entered the stage of shellification.

It seemed the Light and Shadow Association had made some new breakthrough in their research, which was hardly good news.

Seeing that such intense attacks failed to harm Lu Zixun, Zhu Hesheng stepped back twice and fiercely struck his own heart.

A chip bearing the Light and Shadow Association’s insignia appeared at Zhu Hesheng’s chest, beginning to draw blood from within his body.

Lu Zixun, who didn’t feel threatened, did not strike immediately. Instead, he carefully observed the changes in Zhu Hesheng’s body.

He could see Zhu Hesheng’s body quickly shriveling up, and then countless mechanical hands emerged from behind the chip, forcibly extracting Zhu Hesheng’s Spiritual Energy Acupoint.

Using metal capable of enduring extraordinary power, they modified the Spiritual Energy Acupoint.

At the same time, the chip began to smash the flesh and blood, a grotesque scene that almost made Lu Zixun sick to his stomach.

After the flesh and blood became a messy pulp, extraordinary power surged out from the chip.

It infused into the flesh and blood, and the embryonic form of a crimson longsword took shape on the ground.

The modified cross-shaped Spiritual Energy Acupoint served as the hilt, with the chip precisely positioned at the center of the hilt.

The whole process took only three seconds, but it delivered a powerful visual shock to Lu Zixun.

It was the familiar formula, the same bloodiness—it was undoubtedly the work of the Light and Shadow Association.

"Die!"

The voice of Zhu Hesheng emanated from the crimson longsword, truly creating a bone-chilling sensation.

The crimson longsword, uncontrolled, hovered in mid-air, with a bloody afterimage, viciously thrusting towards Lu Zixun’s heart.

Its peak G-level strength, along with the extraordinary power it carried, was indeed considerably powerful.

However, for Lu Zixun, such power was still rather difficult to use to kill him.

He suggested that next time, the Light and Shadow Association should add a capability-testing system to the chip.

With a flick of his wrist, the Night Evil Sword lifted to block the crimson longsword, and Lu Zixun pushed out with his Fiery Flame Burn.

Just as the outer flesh of the crimson longsword was about to come into contact with Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Fire, metal sprouted from the hilt, protecting the flesh within.

"Interesting."

Lu Zixun, not expecting this move, looked at the metal glowing red-hot from the Spiritual Fire and grinned.

In an instant, Lu Zixun retracted the Spiritual Fire, and the freezing cold ice encased the crimson longsword.

After undergoing the high temperature, the sudden shift to extreme cold caused visible cracks to form on the blade of the crimson longsword.

The next second, the crimson longsword shattered.

"Ding—Assassination of G-level blood creation completed, reward: Super Energy Particles +50000."

After dealing with the crimson longsword, Lu Zixun was about to retrieve the Light and Shadow Association’s chip for research when Zhu Hesheng’s voice emerged from it: "I will kill you for sure, grind your bones and scatter your ashes!"

And the voice, which he had only heard once before, Zhu Yi also said viciously, "I know who you are now, Lin Siyin...I’ll make sure to take good care of her."

"Bang!"

Before Lu Zixun could cover the chip with his Spiritual Energy, the chip self-destructed.

Sensing the immense force, Lu Zixun instantly deployed his Ice and Fire Domain and Spiritual Power Shield, preventing the G-level self-destructive energy from sweeping through the entire Lin Mansion.

But the voice that emerged just before the chip destroyed itself left Lu Zixun somewhat silent.

It seemed, as he had guessed, that joining the Light and Shadow Association really did achieve a certain sense of immortality.

Geng Xiyuan, leading the combat team members, also arrived at the location of the Zhu Family.

But apart from the servants, there were no other members of the Zhu Family left.

Originally, it was believed that the main and collateral branches of the Zhu Family had received the message and fled, until Geng Xiyuan reached the basement.
