Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 160: Only One Person Is Enough
The young man's face turned pale as he tightly grasped the blade of Xu Shen's sword, his eyes revealing a strong desire to survive.
The wind was howling all around, and its force was winding and condensed like claws, surrounding Xu Shen from behind, like a hideous monster's mouth, trying to swallow Xu Shen.
A cold light flashed in Xu Shen's eyes, and the hallucination of the Ruin Eye was activated.
In the young man's eyes, Xu Shen in front of him suddenly changed into another appearance. She was a girl with freckles on her face and ordinary looks.
At this moment, the girl's chest was pierced by the sword, and she looked at him with a sad yet calm expression.
Hot tears suddenly welled up in the young man's eyes. He trembled and slowly retracted the sword in his hand.
I didn't mean to...I didn't...
The winding and ferocious storm behind him was gradually shrinking, and at the same time, Xu Shen quickly pulled out the sword from his chest. The intense pain stimulated the young man to break free from the illusion.
His pupils shrank and he rushed towards Xu Shen again with a roar.
But before the storm behind him could roar, Xu Shen had already swung his sword and cut off his head.
With an expression of unwillingness, tears and pain, it froze on his head and rolled to the leg of the sofa and stopped.
"stop!!"
A low, beast-like voice came from behind Xu Shen. It was Mu Wang's voice, but a little hoarse and filled with extreme anger.
Xu Shen turned around and saw Mu Wang with a ferocious and angry face, walking towards him step by step.
The powerful force of the universe tore the coat on Mu Wang's body, revealing the elite green soft armor inside. Like Xu Shen, he also wore combat uniforms all year round.
Xu Shen held the sword in his hand, looked at Mu Wang calmly, and said, "You want to avenge these trash, but they are already dead and worthless."
"Whether it's valuable or not is up to me. This... is my territory!!"
Mu Wang roared and suddenly charged towards Xu Shen.
His figure was like a green whirlwind. He took a step forward and escaped into the world of ruins. Fist, sword and ruins soldiers appeared on his palms and smashed towards Xu Shen fiercely.
Xu Shen's gaze was fixed, with all his strength gathered in his eyes. He could still see that Mu Wang's movement was extremely fast, completely different from the seemingly slow movements of the others.
He stood still, and when the Wood King approached, he suddenly activated the Xuyan to create hallucinations.
However, the launch failed.
Xu Shen did not feel that his mental power penetrated into the other party's brain, but was blocked by something.
He did not remain dazed. When his attack failed, he had already amplified it through the gloves and suddenly drew his sword.
With a clang, the swords collided, making a sharp and piercing sound.
The Wood King took a step back and then suddenly shot forward like an arrow from a bow. His attack was as fierce as a tiger and continued without end.
Xu Shen also didn't take a breath and swung his sword again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In just three seconds, the two had already fought seven or eight times.
The impact was so violent that if it happened in a real office, it would be enough to tear the entire room apart.
But the two of them were in the world of ruins at the moment, and the sofas, tables and other items in the office in reality did not disturb them.
During the fierce confrontation, the anger in Mu Wang's eyes turned into fear. When Xu Shen killed six leaders, he had already seen some of Xu Shen's abilities. He had strong explosive power and also had mental abilities.
This is also the key to killing the charming woman, and it is also the reason why several other leaders lost their minds.
However, he didn't expect Xu Shen's endurance to be so strong. With continuous full-strength bursts, an ordinary person would have been almost exhausted. But Xu Shen was so persistent and powerful, and each time his strength continued very quickly. Could it be that he had reached the limit of the second level?
With a bang, the sword edges rubbed against each other, and Mu Wang's body was forced back again.
He felt his slightly numb arm and stared deeply at the young man in front of him. The anger in his heart had been completely extinguished.
"You are from the Jiang family. I don't want to kill you, but don't go too far!" Mu Wang had a gloomy face. This was one of the reasons why he did not continue. Although he could see that Xu Shen's combat power was extremely strong, far surpassing other commanders, but... he believed that if he burst out with all his strength, he could still kill Xu Shen.
However, that mask made him unwilling to fight so hard.
Xu Shen saw the gap on the sword's edge. After a series of clashes, he realized that this hard and sharp sword was indeed easy to break as Mu Wang said.
There are already some defects on it.
On the contrary, the fist and sword in Mu Wang's hand were still intact, and the difference in the weapons was obvious at a glance.
"I am not from the Jiang family. This mask was just given to me by someone else." Xu Shen kept a calm look and did not care about tearing off the Jiang family's tiger skin. Facing the Wooden King in front of him, he felt that he did not need the support of the Jiang family.
What's more, for some things, the more honest you are, the less others will believe you.
When King Mu heard Xu Shen's words, his eyes showed coldness. He obviously would not believe such words. In his opinion, Xu Shen should be the hidden chess piece buried by the Jiang family in Dicheng.
If Xu Shen said that the mask was picked up, he might even have some belief, but if he said it was a gift... Who in the Jiang family would give this highest honor to someone else?
"As far as I know, the situation of your Jiang family is not optimistic now. You have offended us again. Do you want to enter the inner city again?"
King Mu looked at Xu Shen with a gloomy gaze.
"Why is it an offense, not a help?"
Xu Shen's eyes were calm as he said, "Didn't I help the club to clear out the trash and reduce the garbage? You should be thanking me. From now on, I will take care of everything they can do. Their territory will belong to me. The income of the Chasing Light Club will not change, and the contributions to the inner city will not decrease. If that's the case, what are we doing with so many idle people?"
"Do you like hearing so many idiots talking nonsense every time you have a meeting?"
"As for the inner city..."
Xu Shen stared at him with cold eyes: "I was taken to investigate earlier because I killed people from the Moonlight Religion. They were people from the inner city, so they came to settle the score. But these... are they worthy of the Moonlight Religion to come forward?"
Hearing Xu Shen's words, Mu Wang's face changed slightly, but he knew that the inner city would indeed ignore Xu Shen's action this time.
It doesn't matter if the leader of the association died in Dicheng. They were all recruited from Dicheng, so it doesn't matter if he died. If it is reported, the big shots in the inner city will hold him accountable for his poor discipline.
They might even think that he is incompetent for reporting such a small matter.
No one knew those people's attitude and arrogance better than Mu Wang. However, Mu Wang did not expect Xu Shen to be able to see this, and therefore dared to commit crimes so recklessly.
In the office, Xu Shen killed six commanders in a row, and originally there were only nine leaders in the association.
Excluding the Wood King, there are 8 of them.
Now that six of them have died, there are only three left in the office, namely Zhou Yuanyuan and the young man who was promoted to leader at the same time as Xu Shen after the last visit to Xudong.
There is also an old man.
At this moment, when the three of them heard the conversation between Xu Shen and Mu Wang, their expressions changed.
They all knew more or less about what Xu Shen had done. Xu Shen had wanted to cover it up before, but unexpectedly, he would speak out directly this time.
It was a long time ago that people from the Moonlight Religion were trapped and killed.
Was Xu Shen still in his initial stage at that time?
And the ones who were killed were a second-form team from the inner city!
The more the three of them thought about it, the more frightened they became. The young man in front of them was simply so daring. What was there that he wouldn't dare to do?
"Have you thought it through before you act?" King Mu looked at Xu Shen coldly and said, "But do you know how big the area each of their commanders is in charge of? You are indeed stronger than them, but how much can you do alone? You are too busy to handle everything, can you do anything?"
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Xu Shen said coldly.
Mu Wang was so angry that he laughed, but he did not argue. At this point, the person had already been killed by Xu Shen. Even if Xu Shen was not capable of doing it, he had to let Xu Shen do it.
Right now, he can't find anyone else to replace him.
The above only looks at the performance, but does not care about the process reasons.
With the death of the six leaders, the situation controlled by the Chasing Light Club collapsed, but he had to keep it stable.
Even killing Xu Shen would be of no avail.
"Okay, then you go and try it. If it doesn't work, don't blame me for not giving face to the Jiang family!" King Mu said with a sneer.
"The Jiang family's reputation should not be given by you yet."
Xu Shen said coldly: "Big Leader, you just need to be your spokesperson. From now on, I will be the leader of the Light Chasing Club. If there is anything, I will report it to you directly, and you just need to hand it over to me."
The faces of the three people beside him changed slightly. Did Xu Shen mean to deprive them of their status as leaders?
"What do you mean?" Mu Wang stared at Xu Shen coldly: "Do you want to control all the power in the association by yourself?"
"No, we share it." Xu Shen said with a smile.
King Mu stared at Xu Shen and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know it very well." Xu Shen also stared at Mu Wang and said, "What do you think?"
King Mu stared at Xu Shen's eyes. After a while, he slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's see first. You are so arrogant. Let's see if you can hold up the whole situation. If you can't hold it up, your fate will be the same as those six. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Xu Shen smiled slightly and said, "Then we'll talk about it then."
King Mu snorted coldly, glanced at the three people beside him, and said, "Don't just stand there, take out their soldiers and register them. If you can use them, exchange them and use them. It can also increase your strength. As for the corpses, deal with them quickly."
When the three saw that Mu Wang had compromised, they all remained silent.
None of them knew the true strength of this great leader, but they all knew that he was very strong and they were no match for him. It was very likely that he had reached the limit of his second form and had mastered the Jixu state.
Unexpectedly, under Xu Shen's coercion, the other party was willing to break the pattern of the Chasing Light Club.
Are you worried that if Xu Shen is killed, the situation will collapse?
Or are you unwilling to expose your abilities and trump cards?
Or is he really afraid of Xu Shen's identity in the Jiang family?
Perhaps only Mu Wang knew the reason. They did not say anything. The rabbit was dead and the fox was eaten. Yesterday, they were still the leaders who could sit at the same table with Mu Wang to have a meeting. Even if some of them had a bad attitude and talked back to Mu Wang, they would not be blamed. Their status was just like their title, they were also leaders.
But now they know that this is just a false appearance.
In the eyes of King Mu, they are just tools to get things done.
The unity, mutual assistance and never betrayal that were once advocated now seem like a joke.
When the facade was torn apart, the Wooden King stopped acting. The moment he compromised, he could no longer act.
"You three will be the commander's assistants from now on. As long as you perform well, your treatment will not be too bad, but you'd better not do anything tricky to me."
Xu Shen looked at the old man and the young man and said with a smile.
The two of them were startled. Although Xu Shen had a kind face, he looked even more shocking when compared with the six headless corpses next to him.
They looked at Mu Wang and saw that he had a cold expression and didn't speak. They immediately understood that the day had changed.
From now on, all matters of the association, big or small, may have to be arranged by the Eternal Night Commander in front of us.
Thinking of each other's code names in the society, they all had mixed feelings. For them, their future lives might really be "eternal night".
The two of them nodded and then began to collect the soldiers on the ground.
After the soldiers have been collected, it is time to deal with the bodies.
"With so many people dying at once, the City Guard will come to investigate." The old man hesitated. Although these people were members of the guild, they were also high-ranking officials of the city. Their sudden death would definitely involve the City Guard.
Mu Wang had already sat back in his office chair, his expression cold and indifferent, and he seemed to have no intention of speaking.
Xu Shen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just say they had a small conflict, fought each other, and all died together."
“…”
The old man opened his mouth slightly, and finally fell silent.
The young commander who was promoted at the same time as Xu Shen twitched his lips slightly, looked at Xu Shen deeply, with a certain light flashing in his eyes, and silently cleaned up the corpses on the ground.
The blood , the brain, the body, were all carried out.
Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Xu Shen with mixed feelings, then turned around and left the office.
She didn't expect that the young man she had met and entertained at the beginning would now become a powerful figure in the club.
As they left, only bloodstains remained on the floor of the office. Xu Shen also pulled out a chair and sat in front of Mu Wang's desk, inserting the sword in his hand into the floor next to the chair.
"Now, let's talk business."
