Lu Ning glanced at the two of them and nodded: "Follow me."

Colin and Yan Qing followed Lu Ning as they continued moving.

Along the way, they encountered several more infected individuals, but Colin and Yan Qing were not as weak as Wang Yan and Qiu Yuelin.

Especially Yan Qing. When Lu Ning last saw her, she was still at the third rank. Now, a few months later, she has been promoted to the fourth rank, the same level as Colin.

Moreover, both of them possessed soul weapons, making them extremely powerful.

When faced with a diseased person blocking their way, the three of them easily killed them as if slicing melons and chopping vegetables.

Just as the three of them reached the end of a corridor, there was no way forward.

This made Colin frown.

He looked around but couldn't find any other way out. Then he looked at Lu Ning and said, "Lu Ning? There's no road ahead. Are you sure this is the right direction? Did we go the wrong way?"

"This is the direction."

Lu Ning remained calm, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings before settling on the left side at the far end, where a seemingly intact metal wall stood.

He didn't stop, and walked towards the wall.

When he arrived at the wall, Lu Ning thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed at the wall.

Just as Lu Ning's palm touched the wall, water-like patterns suddenly appeared on the wall.

Lu Ning's hand seemed to pass through the water's surface, actually reaching inside the wall.

This unexpected turn of events surprised both Colin and Yan Qing.

Then Colin suddenly realized something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Spatial power! It's the Phantom Astral Plane!"

As soon as Colin finished speaking, a violent beam of light shot out from the wall and aimed directly at Lu Ning's head.

The crimson shield around Lu Ning was shattered as soon as it appeared, and the beam of light pierced through Lu Ning's head, leaving a huge wound.

Lu Ning's body was thrown into the air and fell to the ground on the spot.

After piercing through Lu Ning's head, the beam of light continued its momentum, striking the wall behind him and causing it to shatter, tearing a huge gash in the wall.

This unexpected turn of events left both Colin and Yan Qing utterly shocked.

They watched the beam of light with extreme vigilance. Colin immediately used his Horcrux, and with a casual wave of his hand, metal fragments from not far away flew over and hovered around him.

The long sword in Yan Qing's hand was also enveloped in a cold, silvery light, and her entire being seemed to transform into a long sword, extremely sharp.

At the same time, at the location where the beam of light emanated from the wall, space fluctuated, and a door appeared.

Inside the door was a void, with starlight twinkling in it, like a cosmic vacuum.

Several figures are currently standing in the vacuum of space.

One of them was a beautiful woman wearing a purple dress, holding a glass ball in her fair hand.

The inside of this glass sphere appears to be a vacuum, and it also contains a galaxy.

At this moment, the galaxies inside the glass sphere are twinkling with starlight and slowly rotating.

On either side of the woman were two patients with lesions.

One of the patients was a muscular giant with sharp barbs on his joints and blood-red muscles all over his body. This muscular giant was over four meters tall, much larger than the ones Lu Ning had encountered before.

The other was a jumbled mass of flesh and blood.

This mass of flesh had numerous eyes and tentacles covered in mucus.

This is somewhat similar to the appearance of the members of the Happy Paradise who Lu Ning encountered in the slums after they had developed severe illnesses.

However, although it is also a mass of flesh and blood, this mass has a much higher level of mental pollution than the previous one.

The beautiful woman chuckled helplessly, "You hid so well and still got found out? I'll get scolded by Her Highness the Holy Maiden! In order not to affect Her Highness's plans..."

The beautiful woman's smile took on a sinister and icy edge: "Then all I can do is ask you to die."

Just then, Lu Ning, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up.

The huge crater on his head had long since healed, and his expression remained as calm as ever, his eyes fixed on the glass ball in the beautiful woman's hand.

He could feel a rather powerful spiritual radiation emanating from the glass sphere.

He then looked at Colin and asked, "Is this the Unreal Astral Plane?"

Colin adjusted his glasses and said, "Yes."

Lu Ning nodded: "Oh, then let's get started."

Lu Ning silently took out his two pistols.

The beautiful woman looked at Lu Ning with some suspicion and asked, "You're not dead?"

Lu Ning tilted her head and looked at her: "Didn't you already see it?"

The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes, then revealed a charming smile: "Young man, you're really amazing! You didn't die even after all that. Then, could you please die, young man?"

“I refuse.” Lu Ning objected without the slightest hesitation.

The beautiful woman's charming smile froze, then slowly faded: "Even your charm powers are ineffective? Who are you?"

Lu Ning thought for a moment and calmly said, "I'm just an ordinary person."

The air fell silent for a moment, and a blush appeared on the beautiful woman's fair face, her breathing quickening slightly.

Then she said coldly, "No matter who you are, you must all die!"

After saying that, she let out a strange scream.

As the scream rang out, the two infected individuals who had been standing beside her seemed to be activated.

The muscular giant let out a low roar, took huge strides, and charged quickly toward Lu Ning and the other two.

The fleshy monster then shot out its tentacles, which, like pythons, also lunged at them.

Moreover, three openings appeared in the monster's flesh, and white light was brewing within these openings.

Then, three beams of light shot out from the opening and headed towards Lu Ning and the other two.

Colin's expression turned solemn. He stretched out his hand, and a metal plate flew from a distance, blocking the beam of light. At the same time, steel needles floating around him shot out at an extremely fast speed toward the muscle giant's weak point.

At the same time, Yan Qing, wielding a long sword that emitted a cold, sharp light, charged rapidly toward the flesh-and-blood monster.

As these tentacles approached Yan Qing, he drew his sword and swung it, unleashing streaks of light.

The blade struck the tentacles, severing them one by one, spraying green slime all over the ground.

However, these tentacles continued to grow from the broken ends, continuing their attacks on Yan Qing.

Just then, the beautiful woman slowly spoke: "Negative!"

As the beautiful woman exerted her negative influence, Yan Qing's body swayed slightly, and his attacks became much weaker.

The tentacles that had been constantly being severed were now rapidly approaching, about to bind her. Yan Qing retreated swiftly, dodging the attack.

Seeing this, Colin shouted, "Lu Ning, you deal with that woman!"

In fact, even if Colin hadn't said it, Lu Ning would have thought the same thing.

While Colin and Yan Qing were fighting the two infected individuals, Lu Ning had already begun to infuse his mental energy into the red rose and the white rose.

In a short time, the red roses and black roses shone brightly, flames burned, and frost spread.

As the light from the twin pistols surged, Lu Ning raised his gun and fired a bullet at the beautiful woman.
