Chapter 95: Chapter 81: Sword Severs the Flesh, Mind Severs the Spirit

He pulled out the Magic Sword stuck in the Jade-faced Saber Mantis, made a quick trip inside the mall, and then quickly left the area.

Through the incident with the Jade-faced Saber Mantis, Lu Chen had gathered another crucial piece of intelligence. The Evil Objects seemed to be able to sense each other’s locations and life states. After all, Lu Chen believed his actions in slaying the Evil Objects inside the mall had been very clean and efficient. Despite that, the Jade-faced Saber Mantis still found him very quickly. This only proved that it had immediately rushed over after sensing the mass deaths of its subordinates in a specific area.

Didn’t this indirectly mean that the death of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis was highly likely to attract the attention of other Foundation Establishment Evil Objects?

Unless absolutely necessary, Lu Chen did not want to encounter multiple Foundation Establishment Evil Objects at once. Although he certainly had quite a few trump cards, being besieged by multiple Foundation Establishment Evil Objects would still leave him at a disadvantage. He didn’t want to prematurely leave this paradise where he could farm monsters en masse and crazily harvest Experience Points just because he was being too bold and reckless.

"I should find a place to hide first, otherwise I might be discovered by other Foundation Establishment Evil Objects rushing over..." he murmured.

...

As Lu Chen expected, barely five minutes after he left, two figures dropped from the sky, landing at the location where the Jade-faced Saber Mantis died. Looking at the corpse of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis, a behemoth resembling a rhinoceros beetle was deeply shocked.

"The Sword Mantis actually died... With its speed, I truly cannot think of anyone currently in Jade Mountain City who could kill it.

"After all, even if it were me, if the Sword Mantis wanted to run, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to make it stay," it said.

This newly arrived Foundation Establishment Evil Object was not only a full size larger than the Jade-faced Saber Mantis, but its height was also visually estimated to be seven or eight meters, about a third taller than the Jade-faced Saber Mantis. What made it eye-catching, aside from the heavy black Armor covering its entire body, was the massive, ten-meter-long Black Blade in its right hand, which was even slightly taller than the creature itself. Standing in the middle of the road, it looked like an iron tower from a distance, deterring anyone from easily provoking it.

[Name: Giant Force Horned Insect]

[Race: Nine Nether]

[Power: Foundation Establishment Third Level]

[Features: A special humanoid creature evolved from the black horned insect, possesses an indestructible Vajra body, and boundless strength.]

Shortly after the Giant Force Horned Insect finished speaking, a voluptuous, white Spider-faced Man beside it couldn’t help but speak up.

"The Human Race individual who could kill the Sword Mantis is definitely not ordinary. It seems quite a few survivors have slipped through the net in the current Jade Mountain City.

"This can’t help but remind me of those several unfamiliar Human Race Qi Refining cultivators I met during the day yesterday. Those guys seemed to have popped out of nowhere. It’s very bizarre.

"Should we tell the King about the death of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis?"

[Name: White-faced Spider]

[Race: Nine Nether]

[Power: Foundation Establishment Third Level]

[Features: A special humanoid creature evolved from the Spider-faced Man, capable of releasing highly seductive illusionary poison.]

Hearing the White-faced Spider’s words, the Giant Force Horned Insect pondered for a moment before replying, "The King is currently hunting down those two escaped Golden Core Stage Cultivators. Even if we told him, he wouldn’t be able to return in a short time.

"Therefore, we can only handle the matters here ourselves.

"Now that the Sword Mantis is dead, there’s no telling if we’ll be next. It seems we need to be a little more careful recently. Remember not to act rashly anymore.

"These Human Race individuals known as Cultivators... are not to be trifled with."

The White-faced Spider nodded, then stepped forward and touched the corpse of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis. In the next second, the corpse of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis seemed to shatter, turning into a massive amount of green powder.

Seeing this scene, both the Giant Force Horned Insect and the White-faced Spider fell silent. Being able to damage the Jade-faced Saber Mantis to this extent, it was evident just how terrifying that mysterious Human Race Cultivator was. Perhaps... they needed to be even more careful. The two Evil Objects stared at the corpse of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis that had turned into powder, remaining silent for a long time before leaving.

And remaining silent along with them were the numerous Teachers and investigators in the conference room.

"Is... is this real?"

A Third High School Teacher, who had previously asserted that Lu Chen definitely couldn’t survive at the hands of the Jade-faced Saber Mantis, looked at Lu Chen on the screen—who had already found a safe place and resumed meditating to rest—and spoke in disbelief.

A Qi Cultivation Ninth Level against a Foundation Establishment Second Level—and one that excelled in speed at that!

Let alone him feeling that Lu Chen couldn’t win, ninety-nine percent of the people present at the time probably didn’t think Lu Chen could win either. But the final result was that Lu Chen not only won, but he won in an almost crushing manner. The information revealed in this was simply too terrifying. After all, even some of the Teachers present might not necessarily be able to win against that Jade-faced Saber Mantis in a one-on-one fight!

At the thought of this, the Teachers present all looked toward the direction of the First High School Teachers. And the First High School Teachers uniformly looked toward Chen Fugui. For a moment, Chen Fugui, who was originally a bit of an invisible presence among the Teachers, instantly became the focus of the entire room.

This feeling of standing in the spotlight made Chen Fugui... thoroughly enjoy it!

He thought, "Right on, right on, this feeling is just so right! I, Chen Fugui... have finally welcomed the overwhelming fortune that rightfully belongs to me! So what if I was assigned as the homeroom Teacher of a Human Dao Class? A Human Dao Class can also produce geniuses!"

Looking at the envious gazes of the surrounding Teachers, Chen Fugui somewhat pretentiously pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his chubby, round face. Seeing this scene from the side, Li Youquan immediately understood what this guy was about to do.
