Su Zhan shifted his gaze to the other corners.
There, the remaining Aberrant Purge Division mbers were still locked in a desperate struggle against those High-risk level Shadow Viper Scorpions.
Not a single one could be left alive.
Having witnessed his battle with Han Xiao and Ling Shuang, and possibly overhearing fragnts of their conversation, these people had all beco potential leaks.
The secret concerning his dual identity and his ability to absorb Mist Creatures was as important as his own life.
Su Zhan's figure blurred into motion.
A mber was using all his strength to block a tail-snake thrust from a Shadow Viper Scorpion when he felt a chill pierce through his back. A wave of annihilating aura shot through his body.
He looked down in stunned disbelief, seeing a fingertip covered in dark red flas protruding from his chest, before his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.
His corpse, along with the equipnt on it, rapidly turned to nothingness within the flas.
Su Zhan's movents didn't pause for even a mont, like a tiger plunging into a flock of sheep.
Under the absolute power of the Special-risk level, these already wounded and battered Tide Realm mbers stood no chance of resistance whatsoever.
Su Zhan would sotis flash into existence, lightly tapping a fingertip, causing a dark red ember to bloom on a mber's forehead, consuming and incinerating them from head to toe.
Other tis, he would wave his hand, scattering a net of flas that enveloped several mbers along with the Shadow Viper Scorpions they were fighting, turning them all into ashes.
At other monts, he would directly crush a mber's throat, then use flas to completely erase any trace of them.
Those Shadow Viper Scorpions also seed to sense this new threat, instinctively beginning to retreat, rging back into the shadows.
Su Zhan paid them no mind.
Wherever the dark red flas passed, the Awakened individuals' Spiritual Energy defenses were as fragile as paper, utterly useless.
He didn't use the Fla of Destruction on the Mist Creatures;
this was to leave behind corpses.
The slaughter proceeded with ruthless efficiency.
In less than a minute.
Within the entire space.
Apart from Su Zhan himself, there wasn't a single living being left.
All the human corpses had been incinerated clean by the Fla of Destruction.
He hadn't killed the Mist Creatures, leaving their corpses behind to muddy the waters and create confusion.
Su Zhan stood at the center of the space, scanning his surroundings, confirming nothing had been missed.
Eliminating the witnesses was a necessary action.
"Boom!"
A loud crash sounded beside him as a figure descended from above.
Qin Bai held in his hand a long whip condensed from countless strands of aurora light, its length flowing with ever-shifting, magnificent colors.
The mont he stepped into this space, his gaze locked onto the only living person present.
That was Su Zhan.
Qin Bai's eyes rapidly swept across the entire spherical space, detecting not a single trace of any Aberrant Purge Division mber!
The life signatures of everyone had vanished.
A clear ripple of emotion crossed his face, his eyes boring into Su Zhan. "Chen Qing... where are Han Xiao and Ling Shuang? Where are my people?"
Su Zhan slowly turned around, seeing that face Qin Bai's face, etched into his mory with searing intensity.
A towering, pent-up hatred suppressed for over two years erupted like a volcano.
It was this person who had watched him like a venomous snake, suspected him, and ultimately forced him into a corner, making him lose his academy, his stable life, everything he once had, forcing him to struggle for survival like a rat in the gutter!
Su Zhan forcibly suppressed this boiling murderous intent, forcing a slightly mocking smile onto his face.
"Commissioner Qin, you're really late. Your people? You an those two Abyss Realm geniuses, and those other mbers? Unfortunately, their luck wasn't great. They've all been burned to ashes."
Qin Bai's pupils contracted slightly.
He couldn't comprehend it! According to the intelligence, Chen Qing was rely at the peak of High-risk. Even with so special thods, how could he possibly, while seriously injured, counter-kill Han Xiao and Ling Shuang who were in perfect condition?
And clean up all the other mbers?
This simply didn't make sense!
"With just you? At the peak of High-risk?"
Qin Bai's voice carried a dangerous edge. "Tell , how exactly did you do it? Or perhaps... what are you hiding?"
"How did I do it? Commissioner Qin, haven't you always prided yourself on having flawless plans?"
Su Zhan sneered, the hatred in his eyes threatening to overflow. "Why don't you guess? Guess how your two capable lieutenants were counter-killed in this jar they thought they had firmly in their grasp, by this turtle they thought they had trapped?"
He took a step forward, the aura of the Special-risk level around him no longer completely concealed, pressing towards Qin Bai. Although he still held back sowhat, it was shocking enough.
"Or perhaps..."
Su Zhan's voice suddenly turned icy cold. "Would you prefer to co down personally and join them?"
Sensing the aura emanating from Su Zhan that far exceeded the intelligence reports, a flash of understanding appeared in Qin Bai's eyes. "So... you broke through. It seems I have no choice but to personally invite you back for a proper talk...
Your luck is quite good. It seems the ti flow rate you summoned within this Mist incident is far faster than the outside world. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been this late..."
Su Zhan spread his hands. "Just a stroke of luck."
This was indeed the truth.
If the ti flow rate of this Mist incident had been relatively slower, Qin Bai would have definitely arrived on the scene already, and Su Zhan wouldn't have been able to raise his strength to Special-risk.
If Qin Bai had co earlier, Su Zhan wouldn't have had the slightest chance to resist.
But fate just happened to be on his side this ti.
A matter of timing, a matter of destiny.
Qin Bai's eyes were filled with killing intent.
The perfect record he had painstakingly built, the undefeated prestige he relied upon for his standing, had actually been torn open, leaving a bloody gash, by this seemingly cornered Aberrant!
The light flowing along Qin Bai's Eternal Night Aurora Whip accelerated, and a force field that stripped away perception began to envelop Su Zhan. "It seems I underestimated you, Chen Qing.
To be able to hide so deeply, and even counter-kill Han Xiao and Ling Shuang... you do have so skill.
But do you think, having just stepped into this realm, you have the right to act arrogantly before ?
I have been consolidating at the peak of the Abyss Realm for five years. The depth of my foundation is sothing a piece of trash like you could never imagine."
"Hahaha... Qin Bai, put away that condescending face of yours! Five years? Stuck at the sa realm for five years without moving an inch, are you proud of that? Have you stayed in your comfort zone for so long that you've even forgotten how to break through?"
Instead of getting angry, Su Zhan laughed exaggeratedly, his laughter brimming with mockery. "What angers you isn't really that I killed your people, is it?
What angers you is that you, Qin Bai, the star commissioner of the Aberrant Purge Division, the Aberrant hunter with flawless plans, your undefeated golden body maintained for so many years, the admiration you've received from so many Awakened individuals over the years...
Today, you've taken such a massive fall!
Han Xiao, Ling Shuang, tsk tsk, geniuses from the Black Tortoise Academy, just broken here like this.
As the Chief Commander of this operation, you're probably going to have a hard ti explaining this, aren't you?
Writing a self-criticism? A demotion?
Heh, these are all trivial matters to you, right?
What you care about most is that undefeated myth of yours being shattered, isn't it?
Doesn't it feel like your face is burning, as if soone has slapped you hard several tis?"
Qin Bai's face completely darkened.
The other's words had indeed struck a chord in his heart. He truly didn't care about trivial matters like his position;
what he cared about was his undefeated myth within the Aberrant Purge Division being broken.
Because of it, he had received the utmost respect from Awakened individuals, and now held imnse prestige and reputation within the organization.
Even if he captured the other party today,
so many people had already died, including two geniuses from the Black Tortoise Academy. Those two were clearly just here for a gilded experience and training. For them to die like this, he couldn't explain it to the Academy.
As the Chief Commander of this operation, this responsibility would ultimately fall on his head;
he couldn't avoid it.
The prestige built over so many years would be completely shattered on this very day.
In his heart, besides anger, there was still only anger.
