From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

013 saw the return of an organization member and immediately commanded, "031, kill 027, the organization will give you all the resources you want."

Derek Wolf's wolf-like face revealed a ferocious smile as he roared and charged forward, pushing off powerfully from his hind legs and leaping towards 027 in mid-air, swiping his claw.

027 used all his spiritual power to fight against 013 and had no capacity to cope with Derek Wolf.

As panic flashed in his eyes,

a streak of sword light flashed, resembling a silver dragon emerging from the deep, moving too fast and vanishing in an instant.

After the flash of the sword light, Derek Wolf's body was severed in two, falling from the air and splattering blood all around.

The event happened too quickly, even 013 was caught by surprise.

The last time the three of them met and clashed, he could tell Derek Wolf was no match for Lu Heng.

He just didn't realize the gap was this large.

Lu Heng drew his sword like lightning, and Derek Wolf was chopped in half.

The whole process happened so fast that no one on the scene could react before the sword light had already slashed through.

Moreover, the S-level Aurora Blade caused immense damage; even though the Dark Werewolf's defenses were high, it was easily split in two as if cutting through tofu.

However, Derek Wolf did not die immediately upon falling to the ground.

As 013 said, Derek Wolf had the most potent self-healing ability at this stage; if he could piece his body back together, his wounds could even heal themselves.

Derek Wolf's upper body crawled on the ground trying to reach his lower half,

cursing as he moved, "Ah! What are you doing?"

Lu Heng walked over and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Derek Wolf looked up and cursed, "What are you going to do?"

"To think garbage like you could be my partner?" Lu Heng's eyes emitted a cold glare as he looked down upon him and swung his sword down.

Derek Wolf's wolf head split into two, releasing a mixture of red and white innards, dead beyond doubt.

…

Since the action had started, there was no possibility of stopping.

While there was still a chance to follow 013's instructions during the negotiation, now that Derek Wolf had been killed, 013 also had to die.

013 reacted even faster; the moment Derek Wolf was killed, he released a burst of spiritual power, pushed 027 back, then transformed into a Black Crow and flew into the sky.

He had only flown five meters when a sword light slashed upwards from below like a soaring silver dragon, engulfing the Black Crow in an instant.

Ah!

The Black Crow let out a wretched scream as its body burst open, splitting into about twenty black crows, scattering in different directions to escape.

027 immediately increased his output of spiritual power to restrain half of them, but still, about a dozen managed to take to the sky, splitting into two directions and seemingly on the verge of getting away.

Just then,

the Chongming Bird whipped up a Solar Wind, swallowing all the black crows flying northward.

Still, seven or eight black crows fled southward, and some were ready to change direction and spread out again.

The Chongming Bird attempted to intercept them in flight, but simply couldn't catch so many.

At that moment,

Lu Heng sprinted, using the walls to rush upwards swiftly, completing his Windwalker Charge, and lunged nearly a hundred meters forward, although the flock of black crows had also flown over a hundred meters away.

Just when it seemed he couldn't catch up, Lu Heng suddenly disappeared from his spot, using his Third Transition Origin Quality "Void Flash" to shift 32 meters instantly, drawing within 10 meters of the black crows.

By then, the power from the Windwalker's sprint was exhausted, and he couldn't pursue further.

At that very instant, Lu Heng tightly grasped the Aurora Blade in his hand and shouted, executing a horizontal Dragon Breath Slash.

Roar!

A Purgatory Sub-Dragon materialized behind Lu Heng, the Dragon Flame Breath accompanying the sword's radiance, instantly engulfing a half-circle area of 20 meters in front of him, covering all the black crows.

The Dragon Breath Slash devoured all remaining black crows, each igniting and vanishing into smoke in the dragon flame.

The last black crow let out a pitiful scream, its body ablaze, burning off all its feathers.

After its feathers were burnt off, 013 reverted to human form, plummeting from the sky to land on the road outside the sanatorium.

Lu Heng tumbled twice in the air before landing; to ensure the black crow couldn't escape, he rushed forward upon landing and turned over 013's body.

After turning it over, he noticed something odd about the corpse.

It indeed was a body, charred black by the Dragon Flame.

Though charred, it was clear there was a hole at the position of the heart.

Lu Heng hadn't targeted his heart with his sword previously, so how had this hole been formed?

There was no time to ponder this.

Because a vehicle was heard approaching, likely people from Iron Blood.

Tonight's events were complicated, and if Iron Blood traced it back to him, many things couldn't be explained.

Thus, Lu Heng gestured to Su Muyu, and they activated the Invisibility Field to leave.

Before leaving, he set Derek Wolf's body on fire as well.

On another side,

027 and Liu Lanying had also disappeared, clearly having left after escaping.

This also showed that 027 wasn't a person from Da Xia officially.

If he were, there would be no need to leave upon seeing Iron Blood people approaching.

After leaving the sanatorium, Lu Heng and his companion drove away under the Invisibility Field.

Su Muyu, using the Chongming Bird to follow behind, drove past two blocks before she exhaled and said, "No one's following, we're temporarily safe."

Then Lu Heng slowed the pace, driving along the riverbank road, and reflecting on the recent events, asked, "Did you figure out 027's identity?"

Su Muyu shook her head, "He was wearing a mask, couldn't see his face clearly, but he's definitely very close to Liu Lanying, and not just ordinary close, definitely not merely a student."
