Chapter 138: Eradicating Human Tyranny, Welcoming the Cave Civilization

"The one who comes is not kind..."

Lu Jing expanded his mental-force domain and used his mental power to probe the Blood Qi strength of these ten people.

At a glance it seemed fine, but the auras of the three in the middle instantly made his expression turn solemn.

"Three are in the Martial Patriarch Realm? The remaining seven are around Sixth Realm Martial Masters."

Lu Jing then looked at his own side's formation.

There were about twenty-plus military personnel present, and the strongest was the supervising official for this selection, Zhu Wencheng.

The others were basically between the Fourth and Fifth Realms.

Now this is a bit difficult to handle...

"Hey, stop right there, and answer again—what squad are you from!"

Zhu Wencheng's expression darkened as he took a few steps forward, blocking the students.

The group of black-robed people halted, and a burly man stepped out from the line.

He removed the hat of his black robe, revealing a meticulously slicked-back hair.

In his hand he also gripped a massive Ring-Headed Sword.

"Allow me to introduce myself: I am the Ninth Elder of the Deep Red organization, codename Blade Demon."

Blade Demon gave Zhu Wencheng a very polite smile.

His whites of the eyes were scant, and his pupils were mostly black, giving a chilling impression.

"Deep Red?"

"What kind of organization is Deep Red?"

The geniuses from each province murmured among themselves; the fellow calling himself Blade Demon gave them a sense of a death aura.

"Deep Red? Is that the heretical group full of lunatics?"

Zhu Wencheng squinted; he was not unfamiliar with this organization.

The Deep Red organization has always been a headache for the military.

Inside the organization are all brainwashed, antisocial lunatics.

If the military's goal is to protect humanity and repel alien races,

then Deep Red's ultimate purpose is to eradicate human tyranny and usher in the Cave Civilization.

These lunatics believe that humans are born sinful, and the emergence of the Cave is a sign before the deity's descent.

Only by eliminating humanity's new forces can the Cave Civilization smoothly descend upon the Blue Star.

It seems these people are after these geniuses...

This time the competition venue was moved to the Cave, giving them a perfect opportunity.

Zhu Wencheng clenched his fists, his mind racing wildly as he thought of a way to break the deadlock.

These geniuses are the backbone of Huaguo's new generation, the future pillars of Huaguo, and must never die here!

A few minutes earlier.

Inside the conference room.

As the explosion sounded inside the Cave, it was heard clearly outside the Cave as well.

"Report, Lord Seat!"

An anxious voice sounded from outside the door.

A soldier in uniform sprinted in, "Report, Lord Seat, the entrance to Cave No. 32 has been blown up!"

"What?"

Situjun was startled for a moment, then rose and ran out with the soldier.

"Quickly, investigate the cause of the explosion, seal off the camp perimeter, no one may enter or leave!"

Only the instructors from each province remained in the conference room; not knowing what had happened, they instinctively looked at the large screen.

Through one of the screens, they could see the panicked faces of the geniuses from each province.

"What happened!"

"The students are still inside, please make sure nothing happens!"

Soon, the aftershock of the explosion faded.

A squad of black-robed people appeared on the screen.

When they heard Blade Demon's self-introduction, all the instructors were startled.

They could no longer stay seated and all rushed outward.

Dong Ningxue's expression grew solemn; she had also heard of the Deep Red organization, and if the rumors were true, their target this time was the geniuses inside.

At the forefront was this time's Dragon Imperial New Star, Lu Jing!

"Please, nothing happen..."

Inside the Cave.

Zhu Wencheng took a deep breath and shouted, "How did you slip in? Outside are all our military personnel; are you truly crazy enough to risk your lives?"

Blade Demon smiled, his grin cruel.

"Since we've come, we have no intention of leaving alive," Blade Demon slung the Ring-Headed Sword over his shoulder, glanced at the retreating geniuses from each province, "I love strangling geniuses in the cradle!"

The words barely left his mouth when he charged forward, sword raised.

The other two in the Master Realm, one followed Blade Demon toward the geniuses, the other met Zhu Wencheng.

"You all run separately, buy as much time as possible!"

Just as Zhu Wencheng was about to cover the retreat of the provincial geniuses, he was blocked by Deep Red forces arriving from behind.

The scene instantly turned chaotic.

Lu Jing was caught in the crowd, analyzing the situation on scene.

Seven Warrior Realm cultivators pose little threat to him for now.

The main threats are three Warrior Ancestor Realm cultivators.

One is locked in a fierce battle with Zhu Wencheng; if these geniuses can hold off another one, he's confident he can deal with the last one.

Running won't work; better to turn back and counterattack.

"Don't run, everyone unite!"

Lu Jing shouted loudly.

But no one listened to him; the geniuses from each province scattered like a flock of birds, turning into loose sand.

Even geniuses, under the huge gap in realm, have their strength completely overwhelmed one-sidedly.

Puchi!

Deep Red members, like wolves among sheep, frenziedly slaughtered the terrified geniuses who had lost their courage.

"Help! I don't want to die!"

"Where's the military? Why haven't they come yet?"

These youths had never seen such a scene; each was frightened pale, knowing only to flee, utterly lacking the courage to fight back.

Fear spread rapidly through the crowd, contagious.

Jian Ying, slowed by his injury, lagged at the rear of the fleeing group.

Daomo's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty red light; he raised his long blade and slashed at Jian Ying.

In the critical moment, Jian Ying endured his bodily weakness and the pain in his mind, gathering the dark shadow behind him to block a strike for himself.

Puchi—

Blood spurted out, the black shadow dissipated, and Jian Ying was still sent flying by a slash.

"What terrifying talent, truly worthy of a genius, hehe!"

Daomo excitedly licked his lips, praising while his ring‑headed sword rose again.

"I... I'm not a genius at all; the real genius is over there—that person is this session's Dragon Imperial New Star!"

Jian Ying lay on the ground, constantly pushing off with his feet to try to get away from Daomo.

He caught a glimpse of Lu Jing out of the corner of his eye and quickly pointed at Lu Jing, shouting.

"Oh? Thanks for pointing him out."

Daomo smiled kindly, his blade showing no pause.

"Don't......"

Puchi!

Blood spattered.

Jian Ying's head flew up, tracing an arc in the air.

Daomo licked the blood staining his lips, his narrow eyes turning toward Lu Jing's direction.

The hairs on Lu Jing's back stood up instantly, an unprecedented sense of crisis welling up!

"This damned Jian Ying......"

Outside the Cave.

"How is it? Has the investigation been cleared up?"

Situjun hurriedly took the elevator and arrived at the entrance of Cave No. 1.

I never expected the barrier linking the two worlds to have vanished completely, replaced instead by a solid black air wall.
