The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 459 - 373 - Taking You to Kill_2
The leap in his progress was truly astonishing; anyone who saw Lu Yuan’s actual track record would be curious. Lu Yuan didn’t think Yu Wentong would always attribute all of this to his "talent," but she never questioned him, merely offering a few words of praise with a smile each time. This, ironically, made Lu Yuan, who had already prepared a whole slew of justifications, the first to feel he couldn’t hold back. Now, with Yu Wentong holding his hand, he felt it was a good opportunity to "lay his cards on the table" with her.
"What is it you want me to ask?" Yu Wentong turned her head to look at Lu Yuan. Her light purple eyes reflected the image of a pale, weak, and somewhat apprehensive boy. In that moment, Lu Yuan felt as if Yu Wentong saw right through him.
"Everyone has secrets, secrets that cannot be known by just anyone. Unless it’s to their most cherished person, or someone on the verge of death..." Yu Wentong looked at Lu Yuan, a hint of a playful smile in her eyes, and whispered to him, "Do you already consider me your most cherished person, Little Lu Yuan?"
"Er..." Lu Yuan was momentarily speechless. Yu Wentong’s words made it impossible for him to brazenly deliver the "justifications" he had meticulously prepared. Yet, he couldn’t reveal the matter of his attribute panel.
He was pondering how to respond when they passed through the previously gloomy sky; the vault of the heavens before them suddenly became clear and expansive. Golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, falling into Lu Yuan’s eyes and upon Yu Wentong.
Lu Yuan suddenly couldn’t help but blurt out, "Lord Tong, where are we going now?"
"Now..." Yu Wentong lightly brushed a strand of hair from her face. She turned her head, a golden radiance flickering around her, and said nonchalantly, "We’re going to kill someone."
"Er..."
「In a hidden military base within the Distant Star Federation.」
CRACK—
A tall man in a dark blue military uniform crushed the monitoring device in his hand, his expression grim. "Roya and his two companions are dead."
"What? Roya is dead too?!" The person beside him was visibly moved, his eyes flashing rapidly. "In such a short time... Was it Yu Wentong who acted?"
The uniformed man nodded, his voice heavy. "Judging from the signal Bruel sent back before he died, it must have been Yu Wentong."
"It seems that newly emerged Demon Blade from Sum Country is truly important to Yu Wentong. To annihilate Roya and his two companions in such a short time, Yu Wentong must have been guarding him all along... This is a level of protection no one has ever received before."
The uniformed man closed his eyes. "I initially thought that after eliminating the target, Roya at least could have escaped. But in the end... to lose Roya’s life over a Hidden Star who had barely reached the Ninth Rank... it wasn’t worth it at all."
"Then, the follow-up plan..." the man beside him began, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he jerked his head up towards the sky. The uniformed man’s eyes snapped open. The next second, the alloy ceiling above their heads suddenly tore apart, like a box being violently ripped open from the outside.
A blade light, as brilliant as a river of stars, descended from the heavens. Before the shock and terror on their faces could fully bloom...
BOOM!
The resplendent blade light, like a cascading river of stars, had already completely engulfed the two men and a good portion of the base.
"Let’s go. Next place." High in the sky, Yu Wentong, bathed in starlight, slowly sheathed her blade and called out casually to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan stared blankly, watching the military base below, now completely engulfed in fire. He saw vast numbers of Modified Humans, Mechas, and combat aircraft swarming out from the base like a disturbed hive of bees. The continuous roar of violent explosions and piercing sirens merged into a chaotic din, like a pot of porridge boiling over and burning.
So... utterly reckless? This is Distant Star Federation territory, after all.
Lu Yuan blinked. Before he could snap back to his senses, Yu Wentong was already pulling him onward. From the direction, it was clear they were heading even deeper into Distant Star Federation territory.
In the time that followed, Lu Yuan watched, wide-eyed, as Yu Wentong led him to destroy three more clandestine Distant Star Federation bases. Under Yu Wentong’s blade light, which flowed like a celestial river, these so-called modern fortresses of war, supposedly capable of withstanding nuclear carpet bombing, were as easily torn apart and crushed as fragile paper boxes.
Hasn’t the Distant Star Federation reacted yet? Are they just going to let them run rampant in their own country, wreaking havoc like wild boars in a vegetable garden?
The next second, a beam of light even more dazzling than the sun suddenly descended from the sky. "The Dome Sword?!" Lu Yuan exclaimed.
He might not have eaten pork, but he’d seen a pig run. This kind of ultra-long-range energy strike, clearly originating from space, was obviously a defensive measure similar to Sum Country’s "Sword of Judgement." The one deployed to intercept Yu Wentong was likely of the highest grade—a terrifying power capable of sinking a small continent...
Lu Yuan’s scalp tingled, his thoughts still racing. He saw Yu Wentong glance indifferently at the colossal, radiant beam descending from the sky, then casually flick her combat blade upwards. In that instant, a brilliant river of stars seemed to surge upwards. Her blade sliced through the beam unhindered, as if cleaving the sun itself. Its momentum unabated, it soared deep into the boundless heavens.
In a daze, Lu Yuan thought he saw something in the distant void of outer space being split apart by that strike, exploding into a dazzling burst of sparks before silently plummeting...
That’s... a sa... satellite?! Lu Yuan blinked, his expression stunned.
Just then, an enraged roar, like thunder, suddenly boomed across the sky. "Yu Wentong, you deserve to die!"
BOOM!
Lu Yuan whipped his head around to see two figures appear in his line of sight, rapidly approaching. Both figures exuded an imposing aura that pierced the heavens. Their immense Spiritual Power was unleashed without restraint, even influencing the weather, causing the clear skies over the southern Distant Star Federation to rapidly grow overcast.
Ninth Rank! And not just ordinary Ninth-Rank experts!
Lu Yuan instantly gauged their identities and strength, and subconsciously glanced towards Yu Wentong. Lord Tong, however, remained as calm and unperturbed as ever. Lu Yuan saw her raise her hand. The alloy combat blade, forged from some unknown material, suddenly blazed with a light more brilliant than any diamond. Countless specks of dazzling light emerged from Yu Wentong, then, like a school of fish, eagerly swarmed into the radiance of her blade.
Yu Wentong blinked at the two figures speeding towards them.
BUZZ—
Lu Yuan felt as if an invisible string in the void had been plucked. Then, two strange beams of light shot out from Yu Wentong’s eyes, spreading, diffusing, enveloping, and then... freezing. The two formidable Ninth-Rank experts from the Distant Star Federation, who had been charging forward menacingly, instantly froze mid-motion.
By now, the light on Yu Wentong’s blade had reached its peak. With a light, fluid motion, she slashed.
SWOOSH—
A silver river seemed to unfurl across the sky, there one instant and gone the next. When all the light dissipated, Lu Yuan saw the two distant figures silently cleave in two at the waist, then rapidly plummet...
"That should do it." Having finished, Yu Wentong contentedly withdrew her hand. Looking at Lu Yuan, she chuckled softly. "From now on, this planet’s power rankings are going to see a shift. With two top contenders gone, everyone else effectively moves up two spots... You’ve waltzed into the top ten without lifting a finger, you know. Happy, Little Lu Yuan?"
Lu Yuan’s mind was still reeling. He held Lord Tong’s cool, slender hand, looked at the radiantly smiling Lord Tong, and with a stiff expression... managed a muffled, "Mm."
