CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: SELF-PROCLAIMED GOD

If it weren’t for the invasion from the Underworld and the evil demons entering the city, I’m afraid one firework would summon even more people.

As Lu Ren thought about this, he squinted his eyes. This place, the tower, should belong to some organization to have such influence, and Rita’s status must be significant to have such authority.

Judging by the organization these people belong to, the power behind them should be considerable, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to dig a secret passage right out of the Governor’s Mansion to the outside of the city.

Simply absurd.

Once the plan was set, the group of ten people hesitated no longer. Before entering, finally, one of the eight who had been observing Lu Ren couldn’t hold back and spoke up.

"Rita, who is this?"

Rita answered, "A friend met on the road earlier, quite capable... reasonably trustworthy."

"Quite capable?"

A Vajra-type female fierce warrior eyed Lu Ren from top to bottom, who was wearing a black tight-fitting high-density fiber embedded armor combat suit. Although due to practicing martial arts Lu Ren had begun his second development, now standing over 1.85 meters tall, and still growing taller, his entire muscles were strong and lean, without any extra fat. Due to practicing Phoenix Falcon Fist, his muscles had a streamlined appearance.

Compared to these fierce warriors in front, at least two meters or two and a half meters tall, he appeared indeed a bit petite.

The female fierce warrior said, "You look like you don’t have any power at all."

Do I need to explain to you whether I have power or not? If you were a Kong Barbie-type warrior, I’d perhaps take a deep dive with you, showing you just how deep my power can drill.

However, looking at the female fierce warrior’s face full of pockmarks, Lu Ren coldly said, "I’m a speed-type warrior."

"Oh!"

A calm-type fierce warrior nearby nodded slightly, "I can see that."

"Alright, everyone," Rita clapped his hands and said, "This is not the time to pick faults, time is tight, let’s go! The Slippery Ghost inside will be very tough, everyone please be mentally prepared!"

After Rita’s speech, the fierce warriors no longer spoke, each took the lead, striding into the side hall.

These people basically ignored Lu Ren, in their view, Lu Ren was merely an addition with no utility whatsoever.

Lu Ren didn’t mind; if he could slack off, he would always want to do so.

Bang bang bang!

Without any scruples, the nine rushed in, using their strong bodies to crash into walls, break windows, and doors.

In short, none of these strong and powerful warriors took the normal route into the side hall.

Despite making such a commotion, no one from inside the Governor’s Mansion came to check.

Lu Ren noticed this detail, causing his heart to tense slightly, it seems the situation has deteriorated to the point of paralysis.

The power of the entire Governor’s Mansion is probably nearly depleted, mostly scattered troops, showing small forces spread throughout Chentai City.

Perhaps the governor’s leader is already dead.

Once Lu Ren opened the door and entered, the massive body composed of countless female corpses was already chopped into over a dozen pieces by the braids warrior wielding the Door-Board Great Sword.

Seeing the scattered shredded meat all over the sky, the braided fierce warrior spat.

"This Slippery Gourd is still quite easy, its name is big, but in a real fight, it’s pretty easy."

Beside him, the Vajra female fierce warrior wielded a set of exquisite Golden Steel Claws. Looking at the scattered flesh ahead, she shook her arms, the claw blades turned into countless blade shadows, slicing the pieces of flesh before her into minced meat.

Rita said solemnly, "Everyone be cautious, though this Slippery Gourd currently appears weak, it can change form based on the environment to enhance its strength."

Speaking of which, Rita couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, "Among those demons calling themselves gods, though weak, it’s not easy to deal with."

Self-proclaimed gods?! And still very weak?!

Lu Ren’s eyes flashed, those creatures outside the Underworld regarded by humans as demons call themselves gods?!

Moreover, from Rita’s words, it seems there’s already stronger combat power among humans than Luo Tiancheng.

This enormous revelation made him realize he still felt somewhat ignorant.

It’s true, for humans to multiply and thrive in this world for so long, there must be some foundation, otherwise, how could they sustain themselves until now.

Then, why do those self-proclaimed ’Gods’ demons want to attack humans?

Do they view humans as sustenance?

As Lu Ren pondered, the scattered flesh from the Slippery Gourd suddenly moved, then under the shocked gazes of everyone, the flesh floated, merging into a blood ball, then following, the flesh crazily trembled.

Then, a Minotaur head covered with white bone, with several tentacles behind it, standing three meters tall and having muscles everywhere, stood at the center of the crowd.

"Careful!"

Rita roared, taking the lead with a step forward. In an instant, his Blood Qi surged throughout, causing his muscles to swell, the once loose outfit was squeezed into tight clothing.

Drawing a Fine Steel Greatsword from behind, he swung fiercely at the Minotaur’s head.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding resounded mightily, the Minotaur head covered in white external skeleton was hit by this immense force, causing it to lower its head sharply.

"Careful!"

The Vajra female warrior exclaimed in surprise.

Exhausted in strength, Rita in mid-air couldn’t help but tilt his head upon hearing, only to see numerous sharp tentacles with metallic sheen rushing toward his head.

It’s too late!!

Rita’s gaze went vacant, these tentacle attacks were so fast, he couldn’t react, unable even in thoughts to think of anything.

Bang bang bang!!

Suddenly, muffled gunfire sounded, tentacles abruptly thrusting forth were severed, scarlet blood sprayed out from the severed tentacle wounds.

"Ding, you have caused effective damage to the Slippery Ghost Corpse Demon with firearms, you vaguely perceive some insight into firearms."

The Corpse Demon roared, feeling the pain, focusing most of its attention on Lu Ren.

Facing the cold gaze of the Corpse Demon, Lu Ren tilted his head slightly, showing no expression, the gun in hand still raised, aim locked on the Corpse Demon’s head.

While Rita seized this moment, his arms shook slightly, retreating rapidly ten meters until he reached the edge of the side hall wall, then halted in his tracks, standing by the wall with lingering fear, gripping the sword tightly while his breath heavy as Lu Ren nearby could even hear the forceful heartbeat.

"Mad, just a little, just a little!!"

Rita continually cursed, his Great Sword shaking side to side.

Meanwhile, several Martial Path masters took advantage while the Corpse Demon was weakened from its severed tentacles, quickly made moves without hesitation, their Blood Qi power intensely rich like blood-men, seemingly about to seep through the skin, every gesture contained tremendous force.

Lu Ren squinted as he watched, these guys’ power is fiercer than one another’s, given his current physical condition, except for using clever techniques from Phoenix Falcon Fist for unloading force, he truly couldn’t withstand a punch from these guys.

But it’s not that he can’t fight.

Lu Ren felt slightly at ease.
