"How dare a mere child like you be so arrogant?!" Liu Dexuan simply could not tolerate Zeng Xin's insolence. How dare he act so presumptuously in front of an Elder of the Wind Blade Sect!

"Ignorant boy, taste my blade!"

In a flash, Liu Dexuan brandished his saber and slashed at Zeng Xin. The force of the attack was tyrannical, like a raging hurricane!

Zeng Xin's gaze darkened. He neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, his body suddenly erupted with terrifying heat, turning as hot as steel in a furnace.

"CLANG—!"

A deafening sound of metal striking metal echoed through the air. Liu Dexuan's gale-force slash had been firmly blocked by Zeng Xin's bare wrist!

Zeng Xin looked up at the old man before him, the corners of his mouth curling into a smirk. "The legendary leader of the Wind Blade Sect seems to be nothing special after all."

This was different from the previous Martial Heaven Grand Tournament. On the Combat Stage, with the entire nation watching, he naturally had his reservations and didn't dare unleash his full strength. But now, he could exert his full power without any qualms.

On the other side, Zhou Jingong's eyelids lowered, and he suddenly shot forward. "Sect Leader, I'm here to help!"

Soon, the two old masters were locked in a fierce battle with Zeng Xin.

Back at the original spot, Luo Xiu slowly stood up. He glanced at the man in the white lab coat on the ground—the one he had just sent to meet King Yan with a scalpel—and suddenly kicked him against the wall.

SPLAT.

The man's corpse practically exploded, sticking to the cracked wall like a large, swatted mosquito.

Then, Luo Xiu turned to look at Zhang Yi's body on the iron table, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. It wasn't exactly heart-wrenching, but the thought of such a young, beautiful, and lovely girl dying this way, after suffering inhuman torture, made him deeply uncomfortable, as if a lump were stuck in his throat.

Moreover, this was a patient he had personally rescued from the Ghost Gate Pass.

Luo Xiu took a coat from his Jade Pendant, draped it over Zhang Yi's body, and sighed softly.

"Xiao Yi, I'm sorry... I was a step too late."

"Hell is empty, and demons walk the earth."

"Xiao Yi, I will kill every last one of these beasts to avenge you."

Just then, Su Shenyun's voice came from the side. "What about Xiao Li?"

Startled, Luo Xiu turned to look at her.

"I couldn't find Xiao Li," Su Shenyun said.

"BOOM!"

Suddenly, a thunderous crash came from the other side. The entire building began to shake violently. Its support pillars fractured one after another—it was about to collapse!

"Go!"

Luo Xiu scooped up Zhang Yi's body from the iron table and dashed outside. Su Shenyun followed closely behind. Not long after they escaped, the building collapsed into a pile of rubble.

A plume of dust billowed into the sky!

Amid the roiling dust, flames flickered, interspersed with the sharp, overpowering gleam of blades. Even by joining forces, Liu Dexuan and Zhou Jingong were still unable to overcome Zeng Xin. He was truly a handful.

However, as formidable as Zeng Xin was, he couldn't defeat the two old men in a short amount of time either. His strength wasn't just in his raw power, but also in his regenerative abilities. Several times, Liu Dexuan and Zhou Jingong landed what should have been fatal wounds, only for them to heal in moments. Zeng Xin didn't even seem to tire, as if his stamina were limitless. In contrast, while the two elders were powerful, their age was starting to show. As the fierce battle wore on, their stamina began to wane.

Su Shenyun watched for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. "This Zeng Xin is quite a treasure."

"If you can't end this quickly, then I'll step in," Luo Xiu said. "We still need to find Xiao Li."

Su Shenyun gave Luo Xiu a deep look. "Aside from my little treasure, no other man has ever lasted more than thirty seconds with me."

Luo Xiu: "…"

Then, Su Shenyun strolled unhurriedly toward the ruins. "Allow me, seniors."

As she spoke, Liu Dexuan and Zhou Jingong swiftly retracted their blades and retreated, both drenched in sweat and panting heavily. Liu Dexuan moved to Luo Xiu's side, speaking with a hint of shame. "Mister Luo, I'm sorry. The kid is a monster. He's unkillable, and his stamina seems endless."

Luo Xiu just shook his head slightly, indicating it was fine. His gaze fell on Su Shenyun's tantalizing back. "Leave it to her." Truthfully, Luo Xiu was also a little excited to see what Su Shenyun was truly capable of.

At that moment, Su Shenyun had reached Zeng Xin.

With undisguised lust in his eyes, Zeng Xin sized up Su Shenyun's fiery figure and smiled. "The legendary Daji. I never thought I'd get to see you in the flesh today."

Daji was Su Shenyun's code name in the Audit Bureau.

Gazing at Zeng Xin's body, which seemed to burn like steel, Su Shenyun's eyes shimmered with a soul-stealing allure. "This sister has a soft spot for strong, fiery men like you."

Zeng Xin smiled mischievously. "Then why not come with me? I'll make you grow even fonder of my heat."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to last, dear."

Zeng Xin slowly walked toward Su Shenyun. "If it's with you, I think I can last for a very long time."

As he finished speaking, his gaze darkened, and the intense heat radiating from his body suddenly surged. Under the scorching temperature, Su Shenyun's clothes began to smolder and fall away, soon revealing the breathtaking sight of her snow-white skin.

Zeng Xin could no longer restrain himself. His eyes turned blood-red like those of a crazed beast, and he pounced, tackling Su Shenyun to the ground amidst the ruins.

…

「On the other side」

Luo Xiu and the two elders were utterly baffled, finding the scene before them unbelievable. From their perspective, Su Shenyun had simply walked over, glanced at Zeng Xin, exchanged a few words, and then Zeng Xin had suddenly collapsed as if having a seizure, hugging and kissing a piece of a broken wall.

Liu Dexuan wiped the sweat from his face and exclaimed, "Is this the legendary Mesmerizing Flame Technique? It's truly terrifying."

Zhou Jingong chuckled. "I imagine the boy was trapped in an illusion from the very beginning. He probably won't even know how he died, right up until the flames of his own desire consume him."

…

Su Shenyun looked on indifferently as Zeng Xin convulsed on the ground. She then turned and walked back toward Luo Xiu. Tapping the communication earpiece in her ear with a slender finger, she said, "Send a few people to take him into custody. Bring him back for thorough analysis."

"Also, this Special Ability Warrior can turn his body into burning steel. Make sure to keep him submerged in water."

Soon, several undercover agents emerged, bound Zeng Xin with special chains, and led him away.

Su Shenyun arrived in front of Luo Xiu and smiled sweetly. "Aren't I amazing?"

Luo Xiu said nothing, simply giving her a thumbs-up. The Innate Allure Bone... Her reputation is truly well-deserved!

"What's this?!" a nearby Liu Dexuan suddenly cried out in alarm.

Luo Xiu froze, spinning around to look. His eyes widened in shock.

He saw that Zhang Yi's corpse was moving!

A terrifyingly powerful aura now emanated from her body, as if she was undergoing some kind of bizarre transformation.

"Elder Luo, there are more people in the ruins!"

While Luo Xiu was observing the changes in Zhang Yi, Zhou Jingong shouted from the other side, pointing toward the collapsed building.

Luo Xiu followed his gaze, his eyes narrowing.

From within the rubble, one Medicine Corpse after another was beginning to crawl out.
