Chapter 746: Disguise! The Ruthless Sakura Rin!

"Hehehe......"

Though his head had been shattered, Kudo Shuuchuu still hadn't died immediately, thanks to the robust vitality of an eighth-rank Middle Weida Sect master.

A muffled sound, mixed with blood, emerged from his trachea.

Violent blood qi erupted, and his right hand still maintained its sword-holding posture, attempting to attack!

"No wonder he's an eighth-rank Weida master—his vitality is truly formidable; even without a head, he can still move."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming unleashed an SS-grade Dou Tian Shen Lei Kuangyong, which instantly engulfed Kudo Shuuchuu.

Only a few seconds later, all movement ceased completely.

Beside him, Sato Kenji, drenched in blood, was frozen in shock.

He never imagined that the eighth-rank Middle Weida deputy director would be instantly killed by Xu Jingming without even a chance to fight back!

"I was wrong! I was wrong! Please, Grandmaster Lei Di, spare me!"

Sato Kenji dropped to his knees with a thud, clearly well-versed in the traditional Japanese spirit of humility.

His desperate will to survive overrode his dignity as he kept banging his head on the ground:

"If you spare me, I swear I'll never reveal what happened today!"

"I can keep completely secret your relationship with Sakura Rin!"

"Keep secret? Sorry, I only trust the dead to keep secrets."

Shhh—

The spear's blade swept past, and Sato Kenji's head flew off, blood gushing wildly from his neck.

Compared to the eighth-rank Middle Weida master Kudo Shuuchuu, his vitality was clearly far weaker.

Without a head, he soon stopped moving entirely.

"Why did you have to do this? If you hadn't insisted on stepping forward, you wouldn't have reached this point."

Looking at the two headless corpses at his feet, Xu Jingming shook his head.

He didn't want to kill them—it was these two who pushed him too hard.

"This..." Sakura Rin stared blankly at the scene.

She knew these two weren't Xu Jingming's match, but she never expected the battle to end so quickly.

Amid her astonishment, a bitter expression subtly surfaced on her lovely face.

The death of an eighth-rank Middle Weida deputy director and a sixth-rank Upper Saint Disciple—this incident would explode...

"Is this going to be troublesome to handle?"

Xu Jingming, having exited Lei Jitai, asked aloud upon seeing her expression.

"Not just troublesome—it's extremely troublesome."

Sakura Rin said bitterly: "All core personnel of my Tianyu Dojo wear smart wristbands with life-monitoring functions."

The headquarters must already know they're dead—they'll immediately send a Weida master to investigate."

Once the investigation begins, I absolutely can't escape involvement..."

The Tianyu Dojo has a department called the "Investigation Division."

It specializes in investigating internal bribery within the Tianyu Dojo and sudden deaths of high-rank psychics.

Everyone in the Investigation Division is a master of mental abilities; once they detect even the faintest clue, they can always uncover the truth.

"Oh?" Xu Jingming frowned.

Sakura Rin's role as a pawn in Japan was far larger than he'd imagined.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want her exposed.

"Eva, is there any way to resolve this situation?" Xu Jingming asked inwardly.

"Don't worry—I already prepared for this."

Eva's holographic projection emerged from her smart armband, crossing her arms over her chest with a smug grin.

"Their life-monitoring devices are still functioning perfectly."

"The headquarters hasn't detected that they're dead."

"Still functioning perfectly?"

Sakura Rin glanced at the charred corpse of Kudo Shuuchuu, his smart armband reduced to charcoal, and felt bewildered.

Wait—how can it still be working after this?

"Not physically—it's uploading false data to their servers."

"Making the headquarters believe they're still alive, so no alarm is triggered."

Seeing Sakura Rin's confusion, Eva giggled.

"I see."

Sakura Rin finally exhaled in relief, then hesitated slightly:

"Sato Kenji is fine—missing for a while won't raise suspicion."

"But Kudo Shuuchuu is a deputy director—if he doesn't show up for two consecutive days, headquarters will definitely notice something's wrong."

"Easy—I'll upload a false report tomorrow."

"Make headquarters believe he died in the wilderness south of your country."

Eva immediately came up with a solution.

"Eva, give her a sub-clone—so she can handle any emergencies."

Xu Jingming mused, "That way, handling this shouldn't be a problem anymore."

"Also, I'd like to ask—after the southern wilderness of your country was overrun by ferocious beasts, did the terrain undergo any major changes?"

The ancient civilization ruins Eva uncovered lie in the northern wilderness of Japan, a region teeming with ferocious beasts.

With this matter settled, he also had to set out to search.

Only before leaving, he wanted to confirm the direction one more time.

"No, I've never heard of the terrain over there changing."

Watching curiously as Eva injected a portion of light into her smart bracelet, Sakuragi Rin shook her head.

"That's good then."

Xu Jingming nodded. "I'm heading to the southern wilderness area for a trip. Handle things here first.

Once I return from the wilderness, I'll come find you one more time, and then leave Sakura Country."

"Understood, Master."

Sakuragi Rin bowed, and accompanied Xu Jingming outside the base.

Only after watching Xu Jingming board a fighter jet and fly up into the sky until he vanished did she look away.

"Rin-chan, what should we do next?"

After Xu Jingming left, Eva's sub-body asked eagerly.

"Kudo Hidenaka and Sato Ken over there can be left alone for now.

But the commotion just now may very well have been detected by the ability users stationed in this area.

Although the probability is low, just to be safe, let's clean them all up.

We can conveniently pin the blame on a fierce beast rampage."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh......

One by one, shikigami radiating fierce auras materialized out of thin air around her, following Sakuragi Rin as she stepped into the base.

At this moment, she, clad in a JK short skirt, strode through the base on slender long legs wrapped in black pantyhose.

Like the Grim Reaper itself, she kept reaping lives......

"Tsk tsk, aside from some rather strange tastes, I didn't expect this Sakuragi Rin to be quite a ruthless character."

Inside the fighter jet heading toward the wilderness area, Eva, who had sensed what was happening at the sub-body's side, clicked her tongue in wonder.

"Indeed ruthless." Xu Jingming, who had learned the whole story from Eva, also nodded slightly.

People of Sakura Country meant nothing to him — killing them was no big deal.

But Sakuragi Rin was different; these were all her subordinates, and among them were even some admirers.

An ordinary person wouldn't easily raise a hand against them. The fact that she could be so ruthless showed that Sakuragi Rin was very worried about her affairs being discovered by others.

This made him rather curious — what exactly was the obsession in Sakuragi Rin's heart......
