Chapter 201: 191 VS Divine Spear 1

My consciousness returned to the Luoshan Office.

The mana fluctuations of Great Success Rank were rolling in from a distance like waves. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Mazao beside me showing a look of discomfort; Zhu Shi and Lu Youxun also furrowed their brows and looked into the distance.

We were indoors, and looking along their gaze, I could only see the wall. However, my Perception had already spread beyond the walls, picking up the fluctuations from a great distance. At this moment, the source of the Great Success Rank mana fluctuations must still be tens of kilometers away, yet we could already feel the opponent’s unrestrained aura.

Moreover, the source of these fluctuations was moving very fast. Based on this momentum, it would probably take only about twenty seconds to reach our location.

The only Great Success Rank likely to come to this place, no matter how I thought about it, was one person.

"Divine Spear..."

Facing this immense mana fluctuation, Lu Youxun pronounced the opponent’s name.

If possible, I would have liked to speak privately with Mazao first, to share the intelligence I had just received in the supervisor’s room. But now I had to focus on Divine Spear first.

According to Zhu Shi, Divine Spear was an arrogant and stubborn Extraordinary Fanatic of Great Success Rank. Lu Youxun had also warned me in advance that even though Divine Spear was reinforcement, he might come with a mission that was unfavorable to Mazao. Therefore, I was mentally prepared for the possibility of friction with him.

Divine Spear might have Impermanence as his backing, and meanwhile, Impermanence could also be watching Mazao from Luoshan... I had been wondering why Impermanence was interested in Mazao, and after learning the information about "handing over the prototype of the Stalker Technology to another Blessed Monk serving Ying Lingyun," I had other thoughts.

The Blessed Monk from the Doomsday Era, in addition to helping Ying Lingyun develop Stalker Technology, really didn’t do anything else? Maybe in this era, he did something that might catch the attention of Impermanence and exposed his identity as a person from the future and a Blessed Monk... and Mazao’s attention from Impermanence was due to the involvement of that Blessed Monk?

What then does Divine Spear intend to do now?

I planned to have a conversation with Divine Spear first, to see if I could discern any truths or lies. Although I am not adept at debate, as long as I cooperate well with Zhu Shi, I should be able to use the power of Buzhou Mountain to see through lies and gain some useful information.

However, things developed far more perilously and violently than I had expected.

Or rather, Divine Spear was far more tyrannical and domineering than I had imagined.

When the source of the Great Success Rank mana fluctuations approached the Luoshan Office and was still hundreds of meters away without slowing down, I immediately realized something was wrong and entered Fire Element form without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, those hundreds of meters were nullified, and the opponent, like crashing through clouds, smashed through several walls of the Luoshan Office from the exterior to the interior, directly invading the reception room situated deep inside while completely destroying the building’s load-bearing structure.

In what seemed like slow motion, I saw Divine Spear—a man in his thirties with a tough and untamed face—dressed in dark grey, bare-handed, entering our midst like a bolt of lightning.

Then, without saying a word, he simply extended his right hand and reached out to grab Mazao, seemingly trying to abduct him on the spot.

Seeing this unfold, I kicked at his forehead without a second thought.

In my Fire Element form, my movement and attack speed were even three times faster than his current speed, and the kick I threw blazed with raging flames. His reaction speed was also not slow. Almost as soon as I made my move, he retracted his right hand and raised it with his left hand in front of him.

Between his left and right hands, a silver metal spear suddenly appeared, its shaft horizontally intercepting my kick.

When my kick struck the shaft, he was knocked back, sliding into a rapid retreat. Given the force of my kick, it would have been normal for him to be kicked dozens of kilometers away; however, whether he used some force-dissipating technique or not, he merely backed off several meters.

The force that was shed exploded violently behind him, and in an instant, a fierce wind erupted, blowing away the wall and the ceiling behind him—the half of the Luoshan Office building was destroyed, revealing the sky outside.

"What are you doing?" The Divine Spear let out a voice filled with murderous intent.

"That’s my line," my voice was so cold it even caught me off guard, "Are you looking for death?"

The shockwave made a mess of the room. Mazao teleported and retreated to a corner not far away. Zhu Shi could barely stand, while Lu Youxun was blown to the ground.

Lu Youxun quickly got up from the ground, staring dumbfounded at everything, then hurriedly shouted, "Wait—"

But the Divine Spear turned a deaf ear; it seemed my words had angered him. He aimed the spear at me and said, "Hand over that girl. I can overlook your earlier interference."

"Overlook? How generous of you," I said. "I don’t know who you’re working for or whose interests you represent. But since you’ve made a move against her here today, this matter is far from over."

"Think carefully..." he said gravely, "That girl is tied to the fate of countless soul loss patients. Not only monks like us are affected, but many innocent mortals as well. If you hand her over, they’ll all see the dawn of hope. You don’t want to destroy so many people’s futures for your personal gain, do you?"

"So now you Extraordinary Fanatics care about ordinary people? That’s news to me."

I didn’t believe for a second he was after Mazao because of the soul loss issue. If he truly had noble intentions and was asking for help, he wouldn’t have started with such an overbearing kidnapping approach. Plus, he’s an extremist Extraordinary Fanatic, yet he talks of "the fate of innocent mortals," which even sounds understated for disheartened.

No, perhaps I’m wrong. If true Extraordinary Fanatics treat mortal as cattle in a pasture, then fretting over whether they’re infected by an epidemic makes sense.

Most Extraordinary Fanatics believe that their future only turns mortals into slaves, and since he’s among the Impermanence of Great Success Rank at Luoshan Office, with less than twenty individuals, he shouldn’t be among the majority. Even if he was, his actions wouldn’t be persuasive. That kind of declaration needs to come from a good person like Zhu Shi to be taken seriously by me.

He seemed to have lost all patience.

"Can’t you understand? I’m offering you a way out. If you’re wise, you can at least save some face," he said. "But it looks like... you prefer to be smashed to pieces!"

The silver spear in his hand emitted an extremely dangerous glow, and massive mana fluctuations ravaged the area, as a thunderous strike aimed right at me.
