God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 462 - 459: Tourists Carrying Knives
Just as Lu Neng was about to stop the scene, he felt the steps beneath his feet start to tremble. Then a heartrending scream erupted from halfway up the mountain, causing everyone who heard it to freeze in their tracks.
"What’s happening?"
Lu Neng asked urgently, and the people ahead of him passed his words along.
Looking at his phone which had lost signal again, Lu Neng threw it onto the stone steps in anger, exclaiming, "Damn it! When it’s supposed to have signal, it doesn’t!"
Soon, the message came back that the people halfway up the mountain had been crushed to death instantly by a huge boulder from above, and the path downhill was blocked, leaving the group divided in two.
The small group below halfway hurriedly fled downhill upon seeing the terrifying scene, leaving the majority above to descend into chaos.
Everyone feared that if another rockfall occurred, they would all die there, but at least they had a choice in how they died.
Either be crushed to death or jump off and fall to their deaths.
Lu Neng quickly calmed everyone down, and with his butler, he slowly walked down the path from the inside, under the pretext of checking the situation.
Of course, this idea was met with strong opposition from most people!
What a joke!
The mountain path is now so narrow that it can only accommodate one person. The people on the outside would be taking a huge risk if Lu Neng went by on the inside!
Faced with opposition from everyone, Lu Neng had no choice but to steel himself and return to the open area at the top of the mountain, staying firmly outside the yellow line.
This method, although it didn’t address the root of the problem, kept the people who were without food or drink safe from stepping over the yellow line and towards certain death!
But at least it mitigated the currently risk of being crushed to death by falling rocks from above! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Feeling the ground faintly trembling again, the nearly three hundred-pound Lu Neng used both hands and feet, suddenly displaying an incredible climbing ability, leaving the people behind him trailing far behind!
Watching the immensely overweight Lu Kai far ahead, the people behind couldn’t help but marvel at the rich man’s strong will to survive. But after receiving a hard look from the butler, they sheepishly fell silent and continued to scramble upwards...

Looking at the Dao Yi Sect disciples knocked to the ground, Xiao Tian smirked fiendishly as he walked up to the Saintly Virtue Daoist and asked, "Tell me, where is the Life Seal?"
"If you’ve got the skill... find it yourself!"
The Saintly Virtue Daoist, lying there covered in blood, said weakly.
"You’re stubborn, aren’t you?" Xiao Tian wasn’t angry in the least, just waved his foot between the Saintly Virtue Daoist’s legs and said, "I like your stubbornness; looks like I’ll have to take matters into my own hands!"
Just as he had done a month before, Xiao Tian’s foot slowly descended while he watched the Saintly Virtue Daoist’s reaction.
Curiously, this time the Saintly Virtue Daoist was remarkably resolute, appearing as if he was prepared to die without fear!
Xiao Tian was surprised but didn’t bother with more words, ready to stomp down suddenly...
"Wait!"
The Saintly Virtue Daoist couldn’t hold it anymore and said, "It’s in the Sect Leader’s room, first room on the left as you enter!"
In fact, the Saintly Virtue Daoist had thought about holding out against Xiao Tian, but quickly realized it was unwise since Xiao Tian would find it eventually, though it might take more time.
Thinking thus, the Saintly Virtue Daoist confessed, secretly regretting not hiding the Life Seal elsewhere beforehand.
As for the Mountain Protection Array being destroyed, the Saintly Virtue Daoist didn’t care as much since it was Xiao Tian who provoked him first, and he used it out of necessity to resist the invading enemy.
At that time, as long as he tweaked some of the details, he could blame someone else entirely.
For now, though, his priority was to keep himself alive!
Soon after, Xiao Tian came out holding a square, coffee-colored stamp-like object and asked, "Is this the Life Seal?"
"Yes!"
The Saintly Virtue Daoist answered immediately.
Having verified this, Xiao Tian prepared to leave, heading down the steps. None of the disciples dared to stop him, nor did they have the strength to.
They only retreated backwards, clearing a path for this god of slaughter.
"By the way!"
Remembering the intelligence Ren Wenshan gave him before he went up the mountain, Xiao Tian turned back and asked, "Where are your Sect Leader and your fellow brothers?"
The Saintly Virtue Daoist, who had just stood up, shivered at Xiao Tian’s sudden question but then avoided eye contact and said nothing.
Seeing Xiao Tian glance down between his legs, he hurriedly said, "The Sect Leader led a group to Qing Province!"
Xiao Tian nodded, matching it with his information, but still feeling displeased, he said, "Stop changing the subject, will you? I asked what they were doing, not where they went!"
"Searching for the Double Fish Jade Pendant!"
Upon getting the answer, Xiao Tian wasted no time, storing the Life Seal and heading down the mountain.
At the same time, Xiao Tian was secretly alarmed. No wonder the Dao Yi Sect had deployed so many people—they were clearly bent on getting that Jade Pendant!
Had it not been for Lin Bingxuan’s endless sleep unsettling him, he might have gone to Qing Province as well...
As Xiao Tian walked out of the Dao Yi Sect’s gates, seeing hundreds gathered outside, his brow furrowed. Were they here to ambush him?
Little did he know, those hundreds, seeing the raggedly dressed Xiao Tian, felt their legs go weak and couldn’t even stand straight.
With him storming the Dao Yi Sect alone and walking out alive and kicking, even if those hundreds all rushed at him, they wouldn’t be enough for him to fill a tooth gap!
Seeing the other party not speak, Xiao Tian decided to ignore them, but as he moved forward, they retreated a step in fear each time, making it hard for him to suppress his irritation.
Xiao Tian stopped in front of Lu Neng and asked, "What are you people trying to do?!"
Lu Neng’s legs gave way, and he almost fell, luckily caught quickly by his butler. Inside, he groaned helplessly.
Lu Neng had forgotten all his hatred, only filled with deep-seated fear.
When Xiao Tian asked what they were trying to do, Lu Neng’s mind went blank!
Trying to do what?
That was indeed a good question. To say it was a coincidence?
That would only fool an idiot!
But he couldn’t admit they were there for revenge, could he?
Just when he couldn’t come up with a viable explanation, the butler beside him spoke up: "We’re tourists trapped on the mountain. The road below is blocked by rocks, we can’t go down for the time being, so..."
The butler’s words trailed off as he felt countless stares on him, his voice becoming softer until it was barely audible.
Everyone looked at him like he was an idiot, and the butler just wanted to slap himself hard.
How could such a low-level mistake come from his mouth?
Tourists, really?
Have you ever seen any tourist spot where people come armed with controlled knives?
Xiao Tian’s expression hardened upon hearing this...
