Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

Her gaze swept across the surroundings, and she quickly noticed something was off.

At the corner at the end of the alley.

The old man’s body lay in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open.

His chest had been pierced through, his heart shattered. He couldn’t be more dead.

"How is this possible!"

Ma Biao and Ink Green Rattan, who had also been in pursuit, stood at the end of the alley, one in front of the other. Their expressions shifted slightly as they took in the scene.

Ink Green Rattan’s eyes filled with disbelief. She couldn’t believe it.

Li Gusha was at the Peak of Limit-Breaking. Unless someone at the Exploration Level had intervened, who could possibly have killed him?

"Who was it?!"

Ma Biao’s gaze hardened as well, and he quickly scanned the area, searching for any traces of the killer.

The next instant.

BOOM!!

The concrete wall beside him suddenly exploded as if smashed by a truck.

Wreathed in a brown Qi Flame, Lu Chao appeared with ice-cold eyes. He grabbed Ma Biao’s head and slammed it violently into the opposite concrete wall.

BANG!!

Protected by his enhanced muscles, Ma Biao’s head only shuddered slightly. His eyes blazed with shock and fury as he struggled to break free.

In his peripheral vision, he not only saw Lu Chao but also caught a glimpse of a window in a corner building.

The figure inside looked somewhat familiar, and their eyes were fixed on him, filled with rage.

’The agents who fled earlier didn’t actually escape? They stayed near the alley?’

"Kill him!"

Lu Chao barked the cold command, pinning Ma Biao’s head in place.

Cracks spread across the concrete wall where he was slammed, and it began to crumble.

’These people dared to ambush us. Letting them escape would be the most dangerous outcome. We have to protect the other agents nearby and wait for reinforcements from the Superpower Bureau to arrive.’

"Not good!"

Ink Green Rattan’s expression changed as she instantly understood Lu Chao’s plan.

Yao Jin, now in her line of sight, snapped back to her senses. Ignoring the blood at the corner of her mouth, she drew her sword, unleashed her Qi Flame, and lunged forward.

The enraged Ma Biao struggled frantically, his muscles bulging as he tried to throw Lu Chao off.

Witnessing this, Ink Green Rattan’s pupils glowed an eerie green. She could no longer hold back. Unleashing her Telekinesis, she threw her arms toward Lu Chao.

"Go!!"

BOOM!!

Lu Chao’s body shuddered. It felt like he’d been hit by a rocket as he staggered several steps back.

A piercing pain shot through his head, as if countless steel needles were being driven into his brain.

Seeing his chance, the muscle-bound Ma Biao broke free from Lu Chao’s grip. With bloodshot eyes, he moved to press his advantage and finish him off.

However, in the next instant.

SHING!!

Enveloping Slash!

Amid the ring of the blade, a silver crescent flashed through the air.

Ma Biao only had time to instinctively raise his arm to block.

SQUELCH!!

His right arm, as thick as a concrete pillar, was severed at the shoulder and fell to the ground.

Blood gushed from his right shoulder like a fountain, instantly dyeing the ground red.

"Aaaargh!!"

He let out a pained scream. Yao Jin had sliced off his arm, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

At the same time.

Lu Chao, who had been staggering backward, steadied himself. He quickly shook off the negative effects of the telekinetic assault, unleashed his Qi Flame once more, and charged forward, throwing a punch at Ma Biao.

Watching this, Ink Green Rattan, standing several meters away, stared intently at Lu Chao, her eyes filled with suspicion.

’He took a direct hit from my telekinetic impact and psychic shock, but he doesn’t seem to be seriously injured?’

’Is it a mental Secret Technique? Or is he just pretending to be fine?’

Unaware of her thoughts, Lu Chao’s left arm muscles knotted as he smashed his fist into Ma Biao’s chest.

The power of a triple Stacked Force sent Ma Biao staggering back into the concrete wall again.

And yet, even after that, Ma Biao was still struggling for his life. His muscles could be seen writhing madly, wrapping around his body like tree roots to form layer upon layer of tough hide, protecting his head and other vital areas.

At the same moment.

With his enhanced kinetic vision, Lu Chao’s peripheral gaze focused, and he clearly predicted Ink Green Rattan’s subtle movements.

Without a second thought, he abruptly dodged to the side.

BOOM!!

The telekinetic blast grazed his shoulder and struck the concrete wall beside him, blasting a two-meter-wide hole in it.

"Kill him!"

Lu Chao roared again, his focus locked on a single target.

The muscles on his right arm knotted, and blue veins bulged like pythons.

He keenly sensed the sound of air being displaced in front of him and perceived the changes in the muscles on Ma Biao’s body.

THUD!!

He threw his right arm out, intercepting Ma Biao’s desperate punch mid-swing.

With his muscles engorged, his opponent’s arm was grotesquely deformed, at least half a meter thick—a truly shocking sight.

But somehow.

A blast of white vapor erupted at the point of impact. Lu Chao, who seemed so ’small’ in comparison, had managed to block his opponent’s desperate, all-or-nothing punch.

He even used the opportunity to once again grab hold of his opponent’s bulging muscle fibers.

SHING!!

Yao Jin instantly understood his meaning.

Her deep blue Qi Flame gathered into the light of her blade. As she swung her arms, the silver longsword slashed out horizontally.

SQUELCH!!

The blade’s light was sharp enough to tear through anything.

But.

"Save me!!"

Ma Biao roared frantically, shouting desperately at Ink Green Rattan.

The muscles in front of his neck had formed a writhing, fleshy tumor. He had actually used his muscle-enhancement ability to create a shield of flesh over his vitals.

The powerful, writhing muscles suppressed the silver longsword’s edge, stopping the blade just inches from his neck.

Seeing this.

WHOOSH!

The sound of rushing blood once again echoed from within Lu Chao’s body, like a tidal wave surging forth and merging into his fist.

The next instant.

Meeting Ma Biao’s astonished gaze.

His left arm, held at his waist, had finished gathering power for his Stacked Force. And now, he unleashed it.

Quadruple Stacked Force, Thunder Fist!!

BOOM!!

His fist struck the flat of the longsword, causing it to vibrate and slam downward.

The surging, immense Qi transformed into a direct, propulsive force, allowing the longsword, Silver Moon, to finally break through the obstruction in a dazzling flash of light.

SQUELCH!!

The wide-eyed head fell to the ground, rolled over twice, and came to a stop at Lu Chao’s feet.

Blood sprayed like a fountain, splashing toward his face, but it was vaporized by his Qi Flame before it could touch him, dissipating into a SIZZLING mist.

The world seemed to fall silent.

Whether it was Chen Xiao, Luo Xuan, and the others whom Lu Chao had told to hide in the building, or Yao Jin who had taken part in the kill, everyone stood frozen in a daze.

Every individual at the Superpower Level has their own trump cards and is incredibly difficult to kill.

After all, Ma Biao possessed a notoriously troublesome muscle-enhancement ability, making him no less formidable than some Martial Artists at the Peak of Limit-Breaking.

And now.

"He’s dead?"

Yao Jin barely managed to collect herself, her sword-wielding arm trembling slightly.

Before her, only Ma Biao’s headless corpse remained. His once-engorged body was shrinking as if deflating.

The thick, root-like muscle fibers gradually returned to their original state, until all that was left was the corpse of a normal man.

SWOOSH!!

However, in stark contrast.

Ink Green Rattan had been exceptionally decisive. The moment Lu Chao had dodged her second telekinetic blast, she sensed something was wrong and had immediately chosen to flee.

By now, she had already put nearly a hundred meters between them, darting and flashing between the alley’s buildings as she escaped.

Seeing this, Lu Chao prepared to give chase.

But.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Several violent explosions suddenly erupted from within the circular concrete building, sounding like missile detonations.

His train of thought was broken, and he quickly looked toward the building.

Amid a series of SWOOSHING sounds, two figures could be seen leaping at full speed. Like agile monkeys, they scaled the circular building and reached the rooftop in just a couple of breaths.

Leader Wu, who had been trying to pursue them, was delayed by the explosion of a Qi Flame blade and fell a step behind.

This allowed Legos and a man in blue to successfully evade their pursuer. They leaped off the circular building one after another, vaulting toward the other concrete structures as if they were intimately familiar with the surrounding terrain.

In that instant.

A blast of wind swept through, kicking up dust and debris from the ground.

Lu Chao looked up at the two rapidly departing figures, his gaze lingering for a moment on the man in blue.

As if sensing his gaze, the man paused on a rooftop and glanced back.

The white light from the subterranean rock layer below barely illuminated the world, making it difficult to tell whether the expanse above was sky or just darkness.

And at this very moment.

The man’s unconcealed, silver-blue Qi Flame, and the electric shadow it cast like a Thunder Eagle, seemed to be a grim acknowledgment.

All suspicions were confirmed.

Lu Chao watched as the figure leaped once more and vanished completely.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

Just then.

Several hovercars approached from the distance, heading straight for the concrete complex.

It was obvious.

The attackers had learned of the Superpower Bureau’s reinforcements and knew their cause was lost, which was why they had chosen to retreat.

In that moment.

The commotion from outside the building complex—the panicked screams and sounds of gunfire—gradually subsided.

Lu Chao withdrew his gaze and looked back at the alley.

The corpses of two Superpower Level individuals.

And.

The members of his team, whom he had told to take cover in the building, now supporting their heavily wounded comrades.
