The weight of her soul kept shifting. Lu Shi cast a mental purification spell on herself, triggering the Soul Condensation effect, and she felt a little better. But she still felt herself gradually sinking into madness.

Now, it's time to replenish the weight of the soul.

What is the fastest way to force out the members of the Shadow Society?

kill!

What are all these monster rats doing here?

kill!

Lu Shi raised both hands, and large scissors appeared in her hands.

She stood on the edge of the platform, looked down at the monster rats running past, laughed maniacally, and jumped off the high-rise building.

She jumped down without even activating her Wings of Wind and Wings of Light.

The wind blew past her ears, but Lu Shi felt that the cold wind cleared her mind a little.

Looking out from the high vantage point, Lu Shi spotted a giant magical rat, roughly a level 4 monster. Laughing, he exerted force, his large scissors opening wide as he adjusted his direction.

He descended from the sky and used the sharp edge of the scissors to cleave the level 4 rat in two from head to toe.

Then, Lu Shi landed steadily on the ground and shook off the bloodstains from the scissors.

She was immediately surrounded by a large number of Tier 3 magical beast rats, their blood-red eyes fixed on Lu Shi.

It is often said that too many ants can kill an elephant, and they might as well try to kill a person by having too many rats.

But Lu Shi tilted her head, grinned, looked at these low-level magical beasts that couldn't even transmit their thoughts, and laughed maniacally again.

With a large pair of scissors in hand, he moved like the wind and charged towards the monster rats.

Click! Click!

Accompanied by the screams of the monster rats and the sound of scissors opening and closing, all that remained was a pile of monster carcasses.

...

After Wu Chen killed a level 4 magical beast rat with a fireball, he finally cleared out this block.

He landed on the ground, catching his breath. While fighting the magical rats, he had unknowingly become separated from the others.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the side. Looking up, he saw a group of ordinary people running out of an alley. When they saw Wu Chen, they were first taken aback, then rushed towards him with joy.

"My lord magician!"

When Wu Chen saw that there were dozens of living people, he breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his guarded hands.

“Run along this street into the barrier. I’ve already cleared the road ahead.”

These ordinary people looked at the road Wu Chen pointed out, thanked him together, and hurriedly continued running.

A father carrying a child brushed past Wu Chen. The child, who looked to be only five years old, stared at Wu Chen and suddenly exclaimed:

"Dad, this magician uncle looks perfectly normal, unlike that older sister from before, who was scarier than those big rats!"

"Don't talk nonsense." The adult quickly covered the child's mouth.

"Sister?" Wu Chen asked curiously.

"Oh, Master Magician, a child doesn't understand, just talking nonsense. There's a woman in the block ahead. Hmm, a very beautiful woman, but, but a little..." The adult didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That girl is amazing, really amazing!" An older woman nearby gave a thumbs up. "She has a huge pair of scissors, and she cuts down mice one by one. Even those selfish bullies who harm their companions, she takes them down with a single snip, showing no mercy."

"Yeah! She just seems a bit crazy. She'll cry one minute and laugh the next, and nobody dares to talk to her," another man said, still shaken.

He had just seen a pretty woman and wanted to strike up a conversation. But the woman casually beheaded a man next to him who had pushed his companion into a swarm of rats while only thinking of his own escape. He was so terrified he didn't dare approach her.

Wu Chen noticed what the group was saying.

He told the ordinary people to keep running, and then he spread his wings of wind and flew in that direction.

It flew into the sky, which gave him a big fright.

The adjacent block was covered with countless monster rat corpses, some level 3 and some level 4, piled up on the ground. Most of them were headless or mutilated, clearly cut open by a sharp blade.

Wu Chen's curiosity grew even stronger, and he continued flying forward along the corpse of the magical beast rat on the ground, also killing one or two magical beast rats that had escaped.

When he found the source.

Just then, I saw Lu Shi cut off the head of Fifty-Six.

Earlier, after she jumped down from the roof and killed the group of magical rats, she met Fifty-Six, who was on his way to meet Fifty.

The two exchanged only one glance, and Fifty-Six was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could.

After all, Lu Shi was able to escape from the Soul-Chasing Bird King, and Fifty-Six knew he was no match for him.

Lu Shi wasn't in a hurry; she laughed as she chased after him.

He calmly and methodically killed the monster rats along the way, while still keeping a close eye on Fifty-Six.

After running around for a long time, Wu Liu discovered that Lu Shi had killed all the magical rats in the area at some point.

Finally, it was his turn.

She only put up a brief resistance before Lu Shi got close and took her away with a single scissor.

After killing fifty-six, Lu Shi finally calmed down.

Raising my hand released a mental purification within me, finally bringing me back to my senses from a state of madness.

"Teacher Lu, were you fighting hand-to-hand with scissors?" Wu Chen looked at Lu Shi, who was covered in blood, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Hmm, my magic's gone, so I'll do some handicrafts. Scissors are handy to use." Lu Shi opened and closed the scissors a few times. The shapeshifting gold covered her entire body again, and a new set of clothes materialized.

Lu Shi's words left Wu Chen speechless.

I'm asking about your handicrafts. Do you make your handicrafts using dead rats?

Lu Shi ignored Wu Chen and silently observed the panel.

Current soul weight: 4813G

[Current remaining unabsorbed soul weight: 286G]

[Current remaining monster soul weight: G]

...

In just over twenty minutes, the weight of more than 1,000 souls was transferred, which is quite an amazing ability to withstand.

Also, the weight of the monster souls has increased so much. Looks like I killed nearly 200 Tier 3 and Tier 4 monster rats!

The rat swarm teleported to J City, having already abandoned all its Tier 1 and Tier 2 magical rats. Now, with so many of its core members wiped out, the swarm seems severely weakened.

Lu Shi was taking stock of her achievements.

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the outer perimeter.

Look up.

The last thing I saw was that Niu Hao, the fire-man wrapped in lightning, burst out with the most dazzling light, his entire body crashing into one of Hou's wings, and melting away completely along with that half of the wing.

"Commander Niu!" Wu Chen cried out in anguish.

A former Kuomintang military intelligence officer, in his final moments, sacrificed himself to sever one of Hou's wings.

Lu Shi's eyes also welled up with tears.

The Hou roared, glanced at the missing wing, and strode menacingly toward the barrier.

With each step, a low house is trampled.

In the blink of an eye, it was back at the edge of the protective barrier.

The enormous beast claws rose, preparing to strike the barrier once more.

"No." From within the barrier, an elderly human flew out. Wind wings flapped behind him as he glared angrily at the Hou.

"It's the Zhou family patriarch!" Wu Chen recognized the person.

"The Zhou family? Zhou Renqing's clan. It seems that some of the four great magic families are still truly fighting for humanity." Lu Shi sighed.

Before the Zhou family patriarch could intervene, he was ambushed by an old man in green robes behind him, and the two clashed in mid-air.

"That's the patriarch of the Jiang family! Has the Jiang family betrayed humanity?" Wu Chen couldn't believe it.

"That's normal. Jiang Yingxue and Jiang Kuanglan from the capital both have shady dealings with the Shadow Society. I didn't expect them to betray humanity at this crucial moment."

Lu Shi sighed.

But she soon discovered that no one could stop Hou anymore.

The beast raised its claws high, about to strike.

Lu Shi sighed.

"Little Commander, burn your soul weight to upgrade your fire element."

"Not even at the Super Rank..."

"Keep going!"
