Rika exclaimed in surprise, while Natsuki simply nodded. After temporarily setting Mai aside, he reached out and grabbed the wooden pillar in front of him.

Whoosh!

The seemingly hard wood was dented by Xia Mu's strong grip!

No one knew that after multiple physical evolutions, his body had reached a terrifying level. In a sense, even if a real Superman movie were filmed, it would still produce outrageous effects without the aid of special effects!

The next moment, Xia Mu exerted force again, and the entire wooden pillar was ripped off. He then casually threw it far away, raising an astonishing cloud of dust.

"Is this guy... a monster?"

Seeing this scene, the skeleton was also stunned. As it spoke the above words, it did not realize that it was actually not much different from the so-called monster!

clap clap clap!

Xia Mu walked into the cage, squatted down and untied the ropes binding Rika's hands and feet. The girl moved a little, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back. Ignoring the embarrassment that had happened before, she chose to throw herself into the man's arms again.

"Waaaaah... Natsuki-sensei... You've finally arrived... Rika... Rika has been waiting for you for so long..."

Natsuki gently patted her back with such a tender expression, and then took out a whale-patterned clip from her pocket and handed it to Rika.

"Next time, don't lose it again, okay?"

"Understood, Teacher Natsuki!"

As Rika spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After standing still again, she put the whale clip on her head, and holy light surged, ready to activate her holy light state!

"Saint..."

Before she could finish her incantation, Natsuki had already stepped out of the cage, glanced at Mai beside him, and then, with his back to Rika, said:

"Rika, could you please take care of Mai-sensei? I'm really angry right now. Leave this guy to me!"

Even though she couldn't see Natsuki's expression, Rika could sense the deep anger hidden in his words. The man in her eyes seemed to have become a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment!

"it is good!"

She nodded, not refusing Xia Mu's request, and helped Mai up before walking away into the distance.

Only then did Xia Mu relax, turning his gaze to the skeleton and saying in a low voice, "I said, are you ready to die?"

"Hum hum!"

The skeleton let out a strange laugh. It seemed completely unconcerned about Xia Mu's threatening words. Even though the other party had just displayed terrifying strength, it was still nothing to it!

"What a joke! Just because you have superhuman strength, you think you can pose a threat to me? I am Soul, codenamed S!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu's pupils contracted slightly, but quickly, after examining the skeleton, his gaze calmed, and he uttered words that shook the other person to their core:

"【Soul】? That must be a thing of the past, right? You should be called a 【Disqualified Person】 now!"

"What?!"

The skeleton was horrified. It took a few steps back, its skeletal feet creaking as they hit the ground, sounding as if they were about to break off at any moment.

"You...how do you know about the [Disqualified Ones]? Could it be that you're also part of the organization...?"

"Ha ha……"

Xia Mu simply smiled, observing the other person's sudden change in expression, which confirmed that his guess was correct.

The so-called "disqualified persons" are actually former members of the Illuminati who were expelled from the organization due to various issues, becoming beings living on the edge of darkness.

Even Shiroshima's deceased mother was actually a member of the "Disqualified Ones".

Of course, for most of the "disqualified individuals," after being expelled, all they want to do is try to get back into the organization.

As a result, their radical methods of becoming stronger were detected by the Heavenly Dao and completely eliminated, so the number of "Disqualified Ones" is not very large.

Unexpectedly, in this city where three members of the organization had disappeared, Xia Mu actually met a rare "Disqualified Person"!

Of course, the reason he was able to confirm the other party's identity was because the person he remembered as codenamed S had a soul power intensity that far exceeded that of the skeleton in front of him.

Therefore, it is naturally not a formal member of the Illuminati!

……

Chapter 92 A brutal beating!

"you you you……"

When Xia Mu exposed its true nature, the skeleton flew into a rage, and black mist surged around it, but it only hovered within a few meters of itself and did not continue to cover the surrounding area.

This is also a characteristic of the "disqualified person".

After being expelled from the organization, the black mist, which served as the main shield, could no longer be controlled as easily as before, and was more easily detected by the Heavenly Dao.

Like Shiroshima, who received the "curse power" from his mother, he cannot use the black mist when using it. If the strength of the Shadow Armor breaks through to the level of a dangerous species, the Heavenly Dao will probably punish him immediately!

Even so, the aura emanating from the skeleton surpassed that of the level 3 ghosts encountered before. Enveloped in black mist, its bones expanded in an instant, transforming into a gigantic skeletal figure!

Its general appearance is not much different from the previous skeleton, except that its size has increased to several meters in height, and green mist is emanating from the joints of its white bones. Combined with the huge bone club in its hand, it has an unimaginable intimidating effect!

"This guy seems pretty dangerous..."

Not far away, looking at the gigantic skeleton, Rika's face also showed a solemn expression. She glanced at Mai next to her, and then at Natsuki who had his back to her, but still did not make any rash moves.

But the whale clip on its head was emitting a faint golden light, as if it might burst out at any moment!

Crunch!

After reaching gigantic size, the sound emitted by the skeleton segment becomes even more terrifying, as if countless skeletons are advancing in unison. A single skeleton can withstand an army of thousands!

In fact, if such a colossal creature appeared on the battlefield in ancient warfare, it would have dealt a tremendous blow to the enemy.

At least in Xia Mu's memory, there probably weren't many forces that could pose a real threat to him!

but--

Suddenly, a clear cross of holy marks appeared in Xia Mu's eyes. The light that suddenly burst forth was like a shooting star, so that the giant skeleton could only barely block the erosion of this holy light by raising its arm.

"Power like that woman's! No! Power a hundred or a thousand times stronger! Just who are you?!"

The giant skull uttered rare, shocking words, and its eye sockets, which emitted green flames, trembled slightly, as if fluctuating with its emotions.

It finally felt, for the first time in a long time, that sense of danger of being in imminent peril—

"who am I?"

Hearing the giant skull's buzzing voice, Xia Mu just chuckled, slightly bent over as if to sprint, and said softly, "It doesn't matter who it is. Just know that anyone who touches my people will die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out, his figure turning into a beam of light, and in an instant he arrived in front of the giant skeleton. His hand had somehow clenched into a fist, with holy light gathering within it, about to unleash terrifying power!

"Damn man! I will return to the Illuminati! No one, not even a whisper, can stop me! I am the strongest!!!"

The giant skeleton roared and slammed its bone club down, an invisible shockwave spreading out from it, as if even the void itself could not withstand this astonishing force!

Finally, the fist and the bone club made contact. Despite the vast difference in size between the two sides, the next moment presented a completely different scene. The bone club was shattered instantly, and the fragments fell from mid-air, reflecting a surprised skull face.

"Impossible! My weapon! It's... shattered?!"

The giant skeleton roared, a hint of retreat rising in its heart, but one of the men moved even faster. In a flash, it was next to one of its legs, and then it threw a punch!

"Down!"

Xia Mu roared, and the holy light on his fist made it no less powerful than the previous punch. The lightning-fast attack broke the huge leg bone!

boom!

"It's going to collapse, it's going to collapse, it's going to collapse..."

The giant skeleton stretched its hands toward the sky, trying to grab something, but it still couldn't control itself and crashed to the ground with a "bang," dust billowed up, and it completely lost its ability to move!

"hateful……"

The words, spoken through gritted teeth, came from the giant skull, but upon seeing the man standing on its other leg bone, raising his foot to stomp down, they instantly turned into pleas for mercy.

"Please! Let me go! I didn't mean to, please stop..."

Xia Mu merely snorted coldly, breaking its last remaining leg bone without hesitation, before whispering, "Begging for mercy now? Too late! Blame it... blame yourself for touching someone you shouldn't have!"

After saying that, he raised his leg again, holy light spreading out from his feet, and with astonishing power, he stomped down!

boom!

"Please spare me..."

boom!

"Sorry……"

boom!

"I was wrong……"

boom!

"..."

Xia Mu ignored everything and focused solely on destroying the giant skeleton's body until he could no longer hear its words and its body was completely shattered into pieces of white bone fragments lying on the ground. Only then did he stop.

"call……"

He wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, panting, "Finally got this guy done, that was really something..."

Before he could finish speaking, Natsuki suddenly rushed towards where Rika and Mai were, his fist once again radiating intense holy light!

"You think I didn't notice? You bastard!!!"

Rika instinctively closed her eyes, and then heard a loud bang. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the man's fist was embedded in the wall next to her. The cracks spread outward from the fist and soon covered the entire wall!

Before the girl could react, Xia Mu had already withdrawn his fist, and a pale purple soul body appeared in his hand. It was the original body that had emerged from the skeleton's body not long ago when he was possessing it!

"Let me go...you despicable human...I will never let you go..."

Even though Xia Mu was holding it tightly, it still struggled desperately. Its ruthless words were a far cry from its humble posture when it begged for mercy earlier.

"So, Teacher Natsuki did this for..."

Rika then realized that, without her noticing, the other person had secretly approached from behind. If Natsuki hadn't intervened, she and Mai-sensei would probably already be—

Thinking of this, a hint of fear flashed across the girl's face, and at the same time, gratitude welled up in her eyes as she looked at Xia Mu.

Under the suppression of the holy light, the struggle of the soul was always in vain. In order to avoid trouble, Xia Mu did not hesitate any longer and directly exerted force in his palm, instantly killing the soul!

"Do not--"
