He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Lu Chen didn't have time to think it through; almost instinctively, a thought flashed through his mind.

All those extremely faint flames of life were marked with green runes.

Regardless of whether they are teammates or not,

It's always good to mark it first, just in case... it can still be salvaged.

"Everyone, please follow me. I will take you to see General Ouyang!"

After verifying his identity, the guard did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and leaped away.

Others followed suit, each displaying their unique abilities.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen put away the floating throne.

It seems inappropriate to ride such a flashy vehicle up to a military stronghold like the city walls.

The air beneath his feet crackled slightly as he simulated "Moonwalk" with his powerful physique and mental strength.

With agile movements, he followed behind the crowd, leaping up the city wall.

"this……"

The other team members looked at Lu Chen with some strange expressions when they saw him moving around purely by relying on his physical strength.

Is it really necessary to show off like this?

Even if you're physically strong, there's no need to show off like this.

However, they only glanced at it and didn't say anything more, since everyone has different habits.

Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed.

He wasn't trying to show off; he genuinely doesn't know how to fly normally!

His "Moonwalk" was actually simulated using extremely high attributes.

The group quickly climbed to the top of the hundred-meter-high city wall.

The scene before him once again surprised Lu Chen.

The interior of the city walls was not entirely military fortresses as he had imagined; instead, it resembled a fully functional miniature city!

Although the architectural style is rugged, it prioritizes practicality.

There were barracks, warehouses, training grounds, and even a simple market and rest area.

It was unusually deserted at the moment, as most people must have gone to the front lines.

Led by guards, they passed through several passages and arrived at a heavily guarded medical area.

This puzzled Gu Daoxuan and the others.

Shouldn't we go see the commander first to understand the battle situation?

However, when they stepped into a medical room filled with a strong smell of medicine and a faint stench of blood, they instantly understood.

A burly, imposing middle-aged man, with a full beard and an imposing presence, stood before them.

He was sitting on a hospital bed with his upper body bare.

His right arm, from shoulder to forearm, was an eerie deep purple, frighteningly swollen, with bulging veins under the skin.

It felt as if something alive was wriggling inside, emanating an unsettling, chilling aura.

A nurse was carefully treating his wounds with special bandages and a faintly glowing medicine.

"Ouch... Be gentle, Nurse Liu..."

The burly man grimaced and hissed in cold air, but his eyes remained sharp.

"General Ouyang, bear with it! This 'Bone-Corroding Demonic Poison' must be washed away with Holy Light Elixir every day."

Combine this with bandage pressure, otherwise it will spread to the heart and cause serious problems!

The nurse rolled her eyes at him, but her movements became even gentler.

She could tell that the general was mostly faking it; with his willpower, this little bit of pain was nothing.

"hey-hey……"

The burly man, known as General Ouyang, chuckled and was about to say something when a guard's report came from the doorway.

"General, reinforcements have arrived!"

Ouyang Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, like light bulbs:

"Where are they? How many people have come?"

He suddenly stood up, ignoring the pain in his arm, and looked expectantly towards the door.

However, when he saw that there were only about twenty people, including Gu Daoxuan, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, replaced by disappointment.

However, when Gu Daoxuan saw Ouyang Zhen clearly, he was stunned for a moment, "Hulu Zhen, I didn't expect it to be you!"

"Little Gu, I never expected you to be leading the team..."

Ouyang Zhen glanced at Gu Daoxuan, his tone somewhat displeased, clearly unhappy with the nickname "Snoring Zhen".

But he quickly straightened his expression, his gaze sweeping over all the members of the "Breaking the Formation" team, and solemnly said:

"Xiao Gu Zi, and all the brothers, thank you for coming to support us."

only……

This situation is worse than expected.

We're...most likely going to perish here.

His tone carried a deep weariness and pessimism.

"Your hand..."

Gu Daoxuan then noticed Ouyang Zhen's strange purplish-black arm, and his expression changed.

"A wound inflicted by the rules? Or a curse?"

"Damn it, we've been tricked by a poisonous demon general. It carries a strange curse rule and is very troublesome."

Ouyang Zhen spat, his face darkening.

"Kill me! Kill me now!!!"

Just then, a heart-wrenching, agonizing scream came from a nearby hospital bed.

Everyone turned to look and saw a young soldier tightly bound to a hospital bed with thick, specially made ropes.

His skin was entirely red with an eerie purplish-black tinge.

His blood vessels bulged and writhed like earthworms, and his face was twisted and contorted in a grotesque manner.

It was no longer recognizable as human; it looked more like a monster on the verge of madness.

He struggled desperately, the rope digging deep into his flesh, drawing blood.

"What's all the noise about! Quiet down!"

"Ouyang Zhen turned his head and roared, his voice like thunder, filled with frustration and heartache.

"You'd better keep your life! You hear me?!"

The soldier seemed to be jolted awake for a moment by the roar, a sliver of clarity returning to his eyes, tears mingling with blood streaming down his face.

"General...please..."

Kill me...

Or, you could release me and let me go find those demons and perish together with them...

I know……

I'm hopeless...

Ahhhhhh!!!

Before he could finish speaking, another wave of excruciating pain struck, causing him to let out a horrific scream.

"Bullshit! Little Li!" Ouyang Zhen's eyes were red-rimmed, and his voice trembled slightly.

"I promised your mother I would bring you back alive!"

And... if you hadn't taken that hit for me, I'd be lying here right now!

These words instantly made the atmosphere in the medical room incredibly heavy.

Everyone fell silent, looking at the young soldier struggling in pain on the bed and the general, who was as tall as an iron tower but had red eyes, as if a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts.

Lu watched this scene in silence, deeply moved.

He walked forward to the bedside of the soldier known as "Little Li".

He calmly asked, "Are you sure you want to die?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached Xiao Li's ears clearly.

Xiao Li turned his head with difficulty, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Chen.

A painful sound came from his throat:

"Young man...please...do it...or just untie me..."

I charged into the horde of demons myself... Aaaaaah—!!!

The intense pain made him scream again, as if his vocal cords had been torn apart.

"Reveal."

Lu Chen's mind stirred.

A pale green rune mark quietly appeared above Xiao Li's head, clearly visible.

This is a mark of the life realm, and at this moment, Lu Chen actively materialized it.

"Kid! What do you think you're doing?!"

Ouyang Zhen suddenly turned his head, his eyes wide with anger!

He saw the strange green rune above Xiao Li's head.

They thought Lu Chen was going to use some kind of evil magic to harm their soldiers.

A violent aura instantly locked onto Lu Chen, his intact left hand clenched into a fist, the knuckles cracking loudly.

"If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll kill you first!"

"General Ouyang, my abilities are somewhat special."

Despite the palpable killing intent, Lu Chen remained unmoved and calmly explained...

"You should see for yourselves."

After saying that, under the astonished gazes of everyone,

Lu Chen raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Then, he threw a punch at Xiao Li, who was powerless to resist on the bed!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Xiao Li's chest caved in instantly, and he exploded into a cloud of blood mist, just like a watermelon hit by a giant hammer!

Fragments of shattered internal organs and bones were scattered everywhere.

The pristine white sheets were stained crimson!

quiet!

Deathly silence!

Huo Lingfei, Ye Wentian, Gu Daoxuan... all the members of the "Breaking the Formation" team were dumbfounded!

They stared wide-eyed at Lu Chen in disbelief.

Looking at the bloody, mangled mess on the bed, his mind went blank.

Is this guy... insane?

In front of General Ouyang, he punched and killed the soldier he was desperately trying to save?!
