Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Lu Ya withdrew the Heaven-Burning Cudgel, and the earth-shattering pressure slowly subsided.

He flashed and landed at the edge of the deep pit, next to Chen Xing.

He crouched down and looked at Chen Xing's weak and pitiful appearance.

His brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of lingering fear and heartache flashed in his eyes.

But more than anything, it evoked an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction.

That kid, he's got guts!

They're really damn good at fighting!

At the peak of the second realm, he managed to kill three lower-level fourth realm cultivators.

Four peak third-tier beasts, plus one half-step fourth-tier king-level bloodline beast!

This record would terrify a whole bunch of so-called geniuses if word got out!

He reached out and checked Chen Xing's breath and pulse.

It was extremely faint, but it was still beating.

He dared not delay and immediately took out a warm, smooth jade bottle from his pocket.

He poured out a crystal-clear pill that exuded a rich life force and medicinal fragrance—a sixth-grade life-extending pill!

A priceless, life-saving elixir that can save lives and restore one's original essence in critical moments!

Without hesitation, Lu Ya pried open Chen Xing's mouth.

He stuffed the pill inside and placed his palm on Chen Xing's chest.

A gentle yet pure stream of hot blood and qi was channeled in to protect Chen Xing's nearly depleted heart meridian and guide the medicinal effects to dissipate.

The elixir melts upon entering the mouth, transforming into a cool yet powerful life energy.

It quickly flowed to Chen Xing's limbs and bones, nourishing his parched meridians and severely damaged internal organs.

Chen Xing's rapidly fading life force was finally barely kept afloat.

The faint breathing also calmed down a little.

It seemed as if it could sense the familiar, scorching heat and the warm blood flowing into its body.

Chen Xing struggled to open his heavy eyelids a crack, his vision blurred.

All I could see was a somewhat familiar silhouette wearing a floral shirt.

"teacher……"

His lips moved, his voice barely audible, yet carrying an almost obstinate insistence, "The mission... isn't... over yet..."

Lu Ya was stunned for a moment when he heard these few words.

He was so angry he almost laughed. He lightly slapped Chen Xing's uninjured arm and cursed:

"Mission my ass! I've slaughtered them all, and you're still thinking about your crappy mission!"

"Now, your task is—to stay alive! Stop talking nonsense!"

He grumbled and cursed, but his movements were incredibly gentle and careful.

He put away the Sky-Splitting Cudgel and then bent down.

He lifted Chen Xing with a gentle yet steady force and carried him on his shoulder.

Although this posture was rough, it could minimize the impact on Chen Xing's wound and also make it easier for him to travel.

"Let's go home."

Lu Ya said something in a low voice and then stepped forward.

boom--!

Crimson flames erupted from beneath his feet once more, enveloping him and Chen Xing on his shoulder.

His figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of flame that tore through the heavens.

They sped off towards Shenzhen Martial Arts University at an even faster speed than when they arrived!

As they passed, the clouds dispersed.

A long, unforgettable crimson trail was left in the sky, like the cloak of a war god.

……

Grey Eagle Outpost.

Lieutenant Colonel Lin was restless in his office, like an ant on a hot pan.

He kept looking at the encrypted communicator, waiting for good news from Broken Soul Valley.

Time passed second by second, but the communicator remained silent, as if it were dead.

The ominous premonition grew stronger.

Suddenly, he noticed the red secure communicator on his desk that connected to the war zone's internal network.

It suddenly blared without warning!

The piercing ringtone made his heart leap!

His hands trembled as he picked up the receiver.

A cold, emotionless voice came from the other end.

It was his direct superior, a major general from a unit in the Southern Theater Command:

"Lin Ying, your affair has been exposed."

"The evidence is conclusive that they colluded with the 'Shadow' organization, sold military secrets, and murdered human geniuses."

"The highest military tribunal in the theater has issued an arrest warrant."

"The enforcement team is on its way and will arrive at Grey Eagle Outpost in ten minutes."

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Clang!

The receiver slipped from Colonel Lin's hand and slammed onto the table with a dull thud.

The color drained from his face instantly, and his body felt as if all the bones had been removed.

He slumped in the chair, his eyes vacant, his face ashen.

It’s over.

It's all over.

……

Office of the Dean of the War College at Wuhan University in Shenzhen.

Chen Poshan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to the desk.

In the void before him, a high-resolution battle video was being projected—transmitted in real time by Xiao Xiao through a recorder.

Chen Xing encountered the first wave of monsters in the Valley of Broken Souls.

From killing three peak third-tier enemies in succession to engaging in fierce battles with members of the Shadow faction.

The entire process of the final life-or-death battle with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

This includes Lu Ya's final, earth-shattering blow, which was also recorded.

After the video finished playing, the office fell silent.

Chen Poshan slowly turned around. This was the war academy dean, who was known for his bold and rugged style.

His face didn't show much expression at the moment, but his tiger-like eyes...

Yet, his heart pounded with shock, lingering fear, relief, and a chilling killing intent.

He was silent for a few seconds, then walked to his desk.

I pressed a red encrypted communication button.

The line connected, and a calm and authoritative voice came from the other end: "Dean Chen Poshan of Shenzhen Martial Arts University?"

"It's me," Chen Poshan said in a low voice.

"Southern Theater Command, Marshal Li."

"Coordinates of the 'Shadow' organization's infiltrative base outside Cave 079."

"And conclusive evidence of his collusion with the Demon Cave's higher-ups and his assassination of my human genius has been sent through the highest-level classified channels."

"Request the war zone to immediately approve the activation of the 'Thunder' contingency plan and mobilize elite forces."

"Initiate a complete wipeout of the confirmed 'Shadow' strongholds and the surrounding areas of the 079 Demon Cave!"

"Leave no one alive!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by a commanding voice carrying an unwavering, decisive edge:

"Evidence received. The situation is understood."

"Operation 'Thunder' is approved! Orders issued immediately!"

"Those who offend the pride of our human race, though far away, shall be punished!"

"Thank you!" Chen Poshan hung up the call.

He walked to the window, looked south, and gazed into the distance.

"Kid, the mess you've made will be rectified by your teachers and the school."

"The rest of the journey is up to you."

……

Master bedroom in Villa No. 7, Tinglanyuan.

Chen Xing slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

The vision gradually became clearer from blurry.

The familiar ceiling, the faint scent of medicine.

His whole body was wrapped tightly in soft, breathable bandages.

Even the slightest movement brought intense aches and pains, but the feeling of weakness and excruciating pain that threatened to break me had lessened considerably.

A gentle yet powerful medicinal force is circulating throughout the body, repairing damaged meridians and internal organs.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the bedside table.

The phone screen was lit up, and Xiao Xiao's little face appeared on the screen.

Her big eyes were brimming with "tears," which were falling down in a steady stream.

Upon seeing Chen Xing wake up, she immediately let out a scream that sounded like a sob:

"Brother Xing!!! You're finally awake!!! Waaaaah... You scared me to death!!!"

Do you know how badly you're injured?! You have seventeen broken bones all over your body.

"Internal organs ruptured, more than 60% of meridians destroyed, and the body's vital energy and blood severely depleted!"

"When Crazy Lu carried you back, you were almost out of breath! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

Chen Xing tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh, but the movement aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to wince in pain.

His voice was hoarse and dry: "He didn't die, we made a profit."

His mind stirred slightly, and his consciousness sank in.

The pale gold system panel appeared in my mind; although it was still somewhat blurry, it was clear enough to see.

Current kill count: 68000!
