Lu Shi left the capital.

On the horizon, a hazy outline gradually emerged—the outline of a mountain range.

Qinshan, I never imagined that with Chairman Long's guidance, we'd almost reached the Qinshan mountain range.

"President Long, you're not planning to lure me into Qin Mountain, are you? That's a monster lair there!"

Lu Shi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Haha, little girl, my mind magic can't reach inside Qin Mountain. There's more than one divine beast inside. Alright, your target is just ahead." Guild Master Long's voice rang out, though it was somewhat intermittent.

"Are you guys reliable? I came alone. What if I start fighting and you don't show up in time, and I get ganged up on by the Shadow Society?" Lu Shi was reluctant to go any further.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get into that situation. By the way, you must wait until Ba's projection shows its true strength before you make a move, otherwise Ba may abandon the person she is projecting and withdraw her power at any time, and then we will not be able to trace her true form."

"Relax, relax, I understand."

"Alright, see that dense forest on your left? That's the final battleground. The projections of a few of us old guys are already waiting there."

Lu Shi looked to the left and indeed saw a lush, green forest.

All right!

Now that we've come this far, we can only trust you.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Shapeshifter Gold transformed into a new battle suit, covering Lu Shi from head to toe. The upgraded Shapeshifter Gold is both more functional and more aesthetically pleasing.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Lu Shi used Shadow Cloak, Wind Track, and Instant Teleportation to approach the grove of trees from the ground.

Before entering the forest, I activated the invisibility function of the Hidden Magic Needle.

The upgraded Hidden Needle gains an invisibility skill that makes it undetectable by monsters below level 8, and the effect lasts for up to one hour.

Stealthily moving through the woods, Lu Shi quickly found her target.

Surprisingly, Chairman Long's target was Zhu Zhu.

This former principal of the Phantom Magic Training Institute is actually a projection host of the Eighth Shadow Society.

At this moment, Zhu Zhu was arrogantly directing Zheng Wuren to move a box.

Zheng Wuren was no longer the arrogant person he was when he was the principal in J City. He humbly carried the suitcase and kept bowing and scraping to Zhu Zhu.

"Old Zheng, if you listen to me, I'll find you a good future. Not to mention becoming a school principal, I can even make you the mayor of a base city." Zhu Zhu perfectly exemplified the saying "a beating followed by a sweet treat."

"Yes, yes, sir, I was blind to your greatness before. I never imagined you were someone of such importance. I will definitely follow you wholeheartedly." Zheng Wuren replied humbly, carrying the box on his back. The box seemed very heavy, making it difficult for Zheng Wuren to straighten his back.

"Hmph, once I get to Qin Mountain with the things and complete my master's task, I'll ask him for help. I'll get my revenge for all the humiliation I suffered. Especially that Lu Shi, I'll tear her to pieces." Zhu Zhu raised her head, her face full of malice, and muttered to herself.

Zheng Wuren overheard her words and kept agreeing.

"Gentlemen, it was my mistake to let you escape so far. Now, I've decided to make amends." As Lu Shi deactivated her invisibility, three Shadow Nails were already fired at Zheng Wuren.

Zheng Wuren had no time to react before three Shadow Nails pierced through his chest.

[Human mid-level mage killed, soul weight 61G, automatically absorbed]

As Zheng Wuren fell to the ground, the box behind him also fell to the ground.

It's been a long time since I've killed such a useless mage.

Lu Shi sighed softly and walked slowly toward the box.

Zhu Zhu looked terrified, but she still drew a black star map with one hand, revealing black chains as she tried to bind Lu Shi.

"Such rubbish shadow magic, I'm starting to wonder if Long Aotian made a mistake." Lu Shi raised one hand.

【Radiance】

Before the black chains could bind Lu Shi, they were already dispelled and melted by the holy power of light.

Zhu Zhu nervously took a step back, but her eyes were fixed on the box on the ground.

"What could possibly be inside?" Lu Shi's curiosity was piqued.

However, she released the wind prison first.

The blue wind bound Zhu Zhu tightly, and the devastating special effect made her feel dizzy and disoriented.

Lu Shi stepped forward and reached out to open the box.

But she ultimately gave up at the last moment.

His body disappeared from the spot.

Three shadow spikes shot past the spot where she had been standing.

Then, Lu Shi appeared in the shadows under a tree.

At the same time, four men in black appeared in front of the box.

"Oh, the soul-delivery messengers have arrived. What are your numbers?" Lu Shi looked at the four people dressed as members of the Shadow Society with a leisurely air.

"You are not worthy to know our numbers. Today, we will annihilate you, this female killing god." A man in black stepped forward, pointing at Lu Shi and said fiercely.

"I love your unruly attitude. I hope that in a while, all you'll have left is your mouth that's tough."

Lu Shi raised one hand, and a purplish-black constellation appeared in the sky.

[Thunderclap]

Countless lightning spears relentlessly rained down on the four of them.

The four members of the Shadow Society, who had been so defiant just moments before, scattered and fled at the sight of the sky filled with lightning spears, not daring to confront them head-on.

Burning

Lu Shi pointed at the Shadow Society member who had just spoken. Flames rose from the man's body, slowing his escape. A lightning spear then struck him.

"ah!"

A scream was heard.

Lu Shi didn't even need to apply Ignite; the Shadow Society member had already been torn to shreds by the Overloaded True Damage.

[Slayed a high-ranking human mage; soul weight 261g, automatically absorbed]

...

"Judging by the weight of your souls... your strength should be in the 40s range, right?" Lu Shi looked at the three survivors.

The three members of the Shadow Society had just run out of the Thunder's range and were still somewhat shaken as they looked at their dead companions.

Lu Shi didn't care about the three people's answers, and simply continued calmly:

"Whether I say it or not doesn't matter anymore. I feel like the weight of a high-level soul is a bit less now. But little by little, I don't mind."

Hearing Lu Shi's words, the three of them exchanged glances, seemingly having made up their minds, and their bodies swelled up.

"Oh, so you're trying to use some forbidden self-destruct technique! Too bad, I'm much stronger than you now." Lu Shi pressed down with both hands at the same time.

[Spatial Rhythm]

A new skill learned after the Space-type character reaches the Super-Tier level.

Lu Shi decided to use these three henchmen as a test.

The three members of the Shadow Society, whose bodies were originally swollen, were suddenly pressed down by an invisible force, and their bodies were forcibly slapped down a bit.

"compression."

Lu Shi's hands shone with a brilliant silver light as she pressed down hard once more.

Clap clap clap.

The three people were crushed into minced meat by an invisible spatial force, turning into a pile of rotten flesh and blood.

[Three high-level human mages were killed; their souls weighed 567g and have been automatically absorbed.]

...

"With this level of skill, you dare to boast that you're coming to wipe me out! Who gave you the courage?"

Lu Shi ignored the four mutilated corpses on the ground and continued walking towards the box on the ground.

"Hehehe."

A standard villainous laugh suddenly rang out.

Lu Shi covered her forehead, sighed, and looked up at another man in black who had appeared in front of her.

"So you're the one in question?"

"No, I'm just here to help the Eighth Master's projection awaken." The man in black replied briefly, his figure suddenly appearing beside Zhu Zhu, who was being controlled by the Wind Prison.

Then, he completely merged into Zhu Zhu's body.

Zhu Zhu also awoke from her confusion, and the wind prison that had trapped her was shattered.

Zhu Zhu opened her eyes, and what was terrifying was that her eye sockets were completely black.

"Lu Shi, the Goddess of Slaughter, you're dead today!"

A chilling killing intent surged towards Lu Shi.

Lu Shi covered her mouth with her right hand and yawned. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she said teasingly:

"She's finally shown up! Hey, you old guys, does killing her mean my mission is complete?"

"Who are you talking to?" Zhu Zhu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Alright, never mind who it is. I've already confirmed it."

Lu Shi lowered her right hand and stared at Zhu Zhu with wide eyes.

"You are now, no doubt about it. Now, I'm going to... fuck you until your soul is completely annihilated!"
