Chapter 1044

Then,

he took a step, preparing to leave the place.

Before leaving,

his peripheral vision swept over, and a pair of eyes gazed meaningfully at a dim corner of the alley.

"Another little rat?"

He let out a light laugh.

Just as he was about to walk over,

he saw

a young man trembling, face pale with fear, crawling out from the dim corner.

"D-Don't kill me!"

"Big brother…"

"I'm not with them."

"I just happened to pass by here."

"My home is over there, and I have to walk through this street. So I pass by here every day. Please don't kill me—I truly don't know them."

The young man was terrified, his face white.

"You saw everything?"

Seeing the young man's fearful expression, Lu En slightly narrowed his eyes, a wry expression on his face.

"N-No, I didn't see anything."

"I saw nothing at all."

The young man hastily denied it.

"Tell the truth."

Lu En's face was expressionless.

"I—I saw it."

"I saw you unleash your divine power…"

"The scene of wiping out over two hundred people."

"I saw it all."

"But I swear I won't tell anyone—please, Big Brother, spare my life."

Seeing Lu En's expression, the young man dared not hide anything and quickly told the truth.

Yes!

He had clearly seen every move Lu En made.

He couldn't imagine it.

There existed such a terrifying monster in this world!

A boy only five years old…

Possessing such immense power!

He was as strong as a monster!

Those two hundred people were like ants, utterly crushed and erased by the monster boy with overwhelming force.

Even now,

the young man could not forget

the scenes that had just unfolded on this street.

He was certain.

This was undoubtedly the most astonishing sight he had ever witnessed in his life.

It was also the first time in his life he had seen

that…

this vast sea held monsters this powerful!

"The most terrifying thing is…"

"He's only a five-year-old boy!"

"How could a five-year-old boy become this strong?"

"This isn't scientific!"

The young man's spirit trembled violently, his mind in chaotic confusion.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a mind-shattering, reality-defying horror.

Gulp!

Swallowing hard, he looked up at the boy, now right before him.

Although the boy was not as tall as him, nor as muscular…

Yet,

from the boy,

the young man still felt an extremely terrifying pressure.

Immensely powerful,

sharp,

ferocious,

as if a Shi Qian beast stood right before him!

Under this overwhelming pressure, the youth's entire body grew rigid, every cell trembling, thick fear surging into his heart.

Not moving at all,

stiff as a stone statue.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Lu En looked utterly intrigued.

He could clearly see,

that this youth had no connection whatsoever with that gang of evil forces.

Just as the other had said.

The other had indeed merely passed by this place by chance.

"I want to live, I want to live."

The youth's throat was dry; he spoke quickly, gazing at Lu En with fear and trepidation.

"Watch these corpses for me here."

"Don't let anyone stumble into this place…"

"I'll send someone soon to handle these bodies left behind."

"You only need to stay here for half an hour."

"Understood?"

Lu En patted the youth on the shoulder.

"Yes, I guarantee I'll carry out your orders."

The youth immediately nodded in agreement.

"Good."

"I'm leaving this place in your care."

"I'll depart first."

Lu En waved his hand.

Then,

under the youth's terrified gaze,

Lu En walked farther and farther away,

until his silhouette vanished completely into the dim street.

Watching Lu En's retreating figure, the youth's pale face slightly regained color, and his trembling body gradually eased a little.

"I—I'm saved."

"That boy…"
