From the end of the world

Chapter 176: Outnumbered and Enemy
The three "jailers" dressed in black robes like cultists broke in from outside, which were the guards mentioned by the senior researcher.

When they saw me grabbing the senior researcher, they were all stunned. One of them recognized me and said, "He is... the child who was brought here with the experimental subjects?"

"Could it be that the sword he holds is Luo Shan's Impermanence Sword...but isn't he an ordinary person?"

"Obviously not. Could he be an intruder who sneaked into the base..."

According to what the senior researcher said before, the memories of these guards should not be reset with the restart of the base. However, the guards I saw at the beginning pretended not to know about the restart and went to talk to the demon hunter. It was probably some kind of "entertainment" for them.

At the same time, they seemed to have previously thought, like the senior researcher, that I was an ordinary witness who was accidentally captured. It was not until this moment that they finally realized, like the senior researcher, that their perception was wrong.

The senior researcher laughed triumphantly at me: "You are finished, you are finished..."

"You don't seem to be afraid of death. I can kill you right now."

I threw him aside and put away the black rope heart-locking ring while saying, "Is it because you think that as long as there is a restart, you can be resurrected sooner or later?"

"What else?" He asked with a smile, "After the restart, you will forget this experience, but I will never forget it. Even that kind-hearted doctor will probably not take care of you anymore, but you don't have to worry about being lonely. Because I will love you well in the future, hahahaha..."

"It seems that you have lost too much blood and your thinking is not very flexible." I said, "I am an intruder. In other words, unlike you who cannot leave the base at will, I have an illegal passage to enter and exit your base freely. It seems that once your bodies and souls are taken away here after death, you can no longer be resurrected by restarting, right?"

Hearing this, his laughter stopped immediately.

He didn't know that I could turn the souls of the people I burned to death into "slag" and take them away. He probably didn't think I could successfully escape from here through the so-called "illegal passage", but my words did shake his confidence. He showed an uneasy look, and then looked at the three guards as if he was grabbing a lifeline.

"You...what are you still waiting for!" He shouted fiercely, "Kill him quickly! Do you want me to report you to Chen Long for your slacking off?"

Those three guards were obviously not fools. When they saw me, a "twelve-year-old kid" who inexplicably broke free from his restraints in the cell and held the Sword of Impermanence, their first reaction was not that I was weak and easy to bully, but that they should be wary of the special strange powers that I might possess. No one rushed to take action.

However, after hearing the senior researcher's words, perhaps because of the intimidating effect of the phrase "report to Chen Long", they were unable to continue to maintain the confrontation and revealed their fighting stances.

Their muscles and bones expanded and twisted drastically, and in an instant they tore the black robes they were wearing, transforming into strong sheep-headed demons that were three meters tall.

These three guards are weird!

After they finished their transformation, they all attacked me from different angles. They didn't let me down at all because I was a "12-year-old kid". They moved fiercely and coordinated well, showing the temperament of well-trained warriors.

At the same time, I also used my own magic power to drive the Outer Path Impermanence Sword.

The three guards' bullet-like movements suddenly became slow in my eyes.

According to the tests I have done in private, the strengthening effect of the Outer Path Impermanence Sword is actually far inferior to the physical strengthening of the monster. Normally, it can only improve me to the so-called bad level, while the average level of the monster is the living level. However, at this moment, I injected too much power into the interior of the Outer Path Impermanence Sword in one breath, which caused it to burst out with a strengthening effect that surpassed that of the monster.

I seemed to be able to hear the sword making a miserable wail, and even the blade showed unusual changes. Perhaps my magic power was essentially fire, so the Outer Path Impermanence Sword, which carried too much of this magic power, overflowed with a temperature visible to the naked eye. The sword body was as red as a branding iron, as if it had just been taken out of a furnace, and the air around it was twisted and fluctuated.

The Gaiden Wuchang Sword transformed into a "light sword" and drew a fiery red fan-shaped light in the air, slashing towards the enemy in front of it.

I have never learned the skills of close combat, let alone swordsmanship. However, when the power disparity between the enemy and me reaches a certain level, skills will become meaningless. Although the three guards are very skilled, they are still unable to deal with my slashing.

The guard at the front had no time to react before I cut off his head. I thrust my sword forward again. The guard behind him raised his arms to block reflexively, but the lightsaber penetrated his brain like a hot knife through butter without any hindrance.

The two swords seemed unstoppable, but I felt that the Outer Path Impermanence Sword was about to collapse. The red-hot sword looked handsome, but its strength was decreasing sharply. If I continued to swing it recklessly like this, the precious sword I had worked so hard to obtain would be broken.

It is said that the "Forged Yama Sword" held by Zhu Shi is the sword that Zhu Yi once wore. Even after Zhu Yi became the Great Impermanence, he is still using the Impermanence Sword, which means that the Impermanence Sword should not be so easily damaged, right?
Is it that my Outer Path Impermanence Sword is inferior in quality to the normal Impermanence Sword? Or is it that my power is not compatible with the Impermanence Sword? Or is there something wrong with the way I use it?

The last guard quickly stopped and retreated to the outside of the iron gate. Of course I won't let him go. Since attacking directly with the sword blade is not good, I can just change my strategy.

I held the Outer Path Impermanence Sword with both hands and raised it. Flames burst out from the fiery red "light sword", and then the flames gathered and solidified, wrapping the sword body inside, forming a sword-shaped shell. The sword blade, which was originally only one meter long, became an ultra-long sword blade of more than two meters under the extension of the flame shell. I took a big step forward and made a strong thrust.

The guard was unable to escape from the iron gate as the flaming sword pierced his chest from behind. His entire body was then set on fire and he turned into charred bones while screaming in agony.

"Three guards were killed in an instant..." the senior researcher said in disbelief, "Achievement level...?"

I turned around and looked at him.

He obviously remembered what I had just said, his face turned extremely terrified, and he begged for mercy loudly: “No… don’t kill me!”

There were more footsteps coming from the distance. It should be the noise of my fight with the guards that attracted other guards. Among them, there were some footsteps that sounded particularly heavy, probably the footsteps of the monster after its transformation.

Although I still want to get information from him, now is not the time. I have to find a place to hide. As for this senior researcher, I don't know how much information he has learned from me when I interrogated him just now. If he just repeats all the questions I asked to the doctor and Chen Long, they may analyze some information that is unfavorable to me. Just in case, I'd better kill him.

I swung my sword at him, and a sword energy formed by flames flew out, directly engulfing the senior researcher with a look of despair on his face. Unlike the strange people with steel bones, he couldn't even leave charcoal in the face of this flame, and turned into ashes on the spot.

Even though I killed someone, I still felt no emotion. He was an enemy and had threatened me, but he was the first unarmed person I had killed. Was this lack of guilt because it was what Agent Kong once called "too easy a killing" or because I had unknowingly lost my respect for human life?

Forget it, I am in the enemy's base camp right now, and "no feelings" are better than "sadness". Now I should focus more on my own strength.

The intensity of the flames I could cast at this moment was still not enough. Normally, even a monster should not be able to leave charcoal. The Outer Path Impermanence Sword was still not qualified as a medium for carrying power.

On the other hand, the effect is still working normally, that is, my ability to turn the souls of the people I killed into "slag". Although I don't know what the "slag" does, I do feel that there are four more "slag" in my flames. The "slag" of the three guards is obviously huge, while the "slag" of the senior researcher is very small, probably because the latter is just an ordinary person.

I came to the corridor, and there were guards on both sides, five in total. When they saw me walk out of the cell, they all transformed into monsters without hesitation and launched an all-out siege attack on me.

Although this place is just a corridor, it is spacious enough, and my movement speed is fast enough. I easily found a gap in their encirclement and rushed out, then I turned around with my sword in hand, and the flames burst out again, extending the blade of the Outer Path Impermanence Sword.

As it swung, the flaming sword edge burst into the air with a blazing sound, and a deadly five-hit consecutive attack attacked the guards.

Because the slashing speed was too fast, they could not dodge, and the blade formed by the super-high temperature flame was even more impossible to defend. One sword, two swords, three swords, four swords, five swords... In a blink of an eye, the five guards were slashed in the vital parts one after another. The flames expanded at the wounds, engulfing the five bodies, and burned them to charcoal with screams.

The battle was not over yet, and there were footsteps approaching quickly in the distance. The guards should have felt the disappearance of their companions' mana fluctuations. Probably because they believed in the "restart" of the secret base, these people showed a fearless temperament.

I had no intention of fighting, so I turned around and ran towards the direction of "the special cell where the researcher said the girl Lu Chan was."

If I continue to fight, I will definitely be the loser.

As if in response to my thoughts, an irresistible fluctuation of magical power belonging to the great perfection level suddenly erupted in the distance.

Chenlong is moving here!
