Chapter 128 The Shadow Descends, Survival of the Fittest



Lu Shi touched the ground with both feet, and relying on the explosive power of her body, she raised the scissors and lunged straight at Fifty.

Fifty screamed and turned to run away.

But he hadn't run two steps before Lu Shi caught up with him.

Lu Shi kicked him in the back.

Fifty seconds later, he lunged forward and fell face-first into the mud.

The large scissors were raised and then clamped down on the neck of the fifty-year-old man on the ground.

"Don't kill me! I'll tell you a secret!" Fifty hands were raised high, screaming in alarm.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Lu Shi asked curiously.

"I'll tell you the identity of the Holy Maiden of the Shadow Society, and spare my life." Seeing that there was a chance, Fifty hurriedly struggled to turn around, completely disregarding the scissors still stuck to his neck.

“Tell me, who is the Holy Maiden? You have no room for bargaining.” Lu Shi exerted force with both hands, and the sharp blade of the scissors cut two bloody gashes on Fifty’s neck.

“Yes, it’s Huang…” Fifty blurted out. But his face was flushed, and he couldn’t get the full name out. And his head was swollen abnormally, as if it were about to burst.

"Damn it, the weight of the soul I've got can't fly away." Lu Shi no longer hesitated and forcefully closed the scissors with both hands.

Click.

Fifty heads rolled.

[Slayed a high-ranking human mage; soul weight 531G, automatically absorbed]

However, the moment the fifty heads fell to the ground, they suddenly exploded into a pool of blood.

"Master, this is a fusion magic of mind and chaos. It seems that as long as the key words are triggered, it will directly detonate the chaos bomb. It seems that the Eighth of the Shadow Society is a very powerful forbidden spell mage of mind and chaos." Little Scissors jumped out again to make its presence known.

"This guy hasn't even shown up yet, but he's already got me completely under his thumb. If it weren't for Chairman Long's help today, I probably wouldn't have escaped death," Lu Shi said, still shaken.

"Shishi!" Huang Tian's voice came from outside.

Lu Shi immediately deactivated the magic-suppressing space and found Huang Tian and the group of students from the Capital Magic High School standing on the platform. It seemed that they had rushed over after finishing their phone call.

Huang Junya remains unconscious, and Bai Qinya is taking care of her.

"Shishi, are you alright?" Huang Tian frowned as he looked at the headless corpse on the ground.

"I'm fine, but I want to thank President Long for saving my life." Lu Shi clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the direction of the Magic Association.

“Little girl, the Shadow Society has its eye on you. However, with me in the capital, she won’t dare to show herself and make a move against you. You need to upgrade your Hidden Demon Needle quickly. Once upgraded, she won’t be able to locate you, and since you’re also a mind mage, Eight’s mental suggestions won’t work easily if you’re on guard.”

Chairman Long's words rang out on the platform.

This left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment. They could hear each other even though they couldn't see the person; Chairman Long was indeed unfathomable.

"You can leave now. I've already notified the military region to handle this." After saying this last sentence, Chairman Long fell silent.

Two cloud eagles rapidly approached in the sky; it seemed the military mages had arrived.

Lu Shi examined Huang Junya's condition and cast another healing spell, after which Huang Junya fully recovered.

The group returned to their private room at the Capital Hotel and finished their feast.

Lu Shihao generously spent a fortune to pay the bill.

In the end, everyone had a good time and went their separate ways.

...

Inside the dormitory building of the Capital Magic High School.

Huang Junya returned to her room. As a top student in her final year of junior high, she naturally enjoyed the privilege of living alone.

Sitting at her desk, looking at her slightly pale face in the mirror, Huang Junya smiled faintly.

"Grandma, that idiot Fifty almost sold me out."

"I've planted a mental suggestion in him, so he can't speak. And if he even has the thought of betraying you, he'll self-destruct." The shrill female voice echoed in the room.

"Grandma Ba is still the best!" Huang Junya praised her.

“Holy Maiden, I cannot act rashly in the capital. Besides that blind man Long Aotian, there are several old ghosts hiding in the shadows. If I expose my location, I may be surrounded and killed by them.”

"Grandma, don't worry, I've already given up on the plan to summon the Beast God in the human base city. These cowardly good-for-nothings, calling themselves divine beasts? Bah! Summoning them only dares to produce clones and projections, and the strength of those projections is far from enough to force out the experts of the Judgment Council."

"Actually, back in J City, Old Ghost was already on the verge of losing his temper. If it weren't for the sudden burst of power from a madman at the Super-Rank level, and the sudden attack from the God of Slaughter Lu Shi, it might have already revealed a forbidden spell of the Judgment Council."

"Alas, there are no 'what ifs.' Failure is failure. We've already lost everyone in the 50, 70, and 80 number ranges. Teacher Lu, you truly live up to your title of God of Slaughter! Even the Inquisition couldn't kill so many of us."

"That little girl is strange. Not only was she born with dual elemental attributes, but she also awakened dual elemental attributes later on. Moreover, her shadow element was granted by the innate skills of the Shadow Panther clan, which somewhat counters the shadow element of our Shadow Demon Society. I never expected her to grow to this level. It's truly a dereliction of duty!"

"It's alright, there's still a chance to salvage the situation! Eighth Grandmother, didn't you arrange for the numbers forty and sixty to be placed in a large formation in Qinshan before?"

"Yes! Holy Maiden, you've heard about it too?"

"Yes, the Holy Son sent a letter saying that he will soon bring his most trusted subordinates, numbering in the twenties, into Qin Mountain to help perfect the great formation."

"Ah! So that means, we've finally found the lost clues to the origin of the world?"

"Yes, Grandpa Yi senses that the World Source is becoming increasingly powerful. He is also eager to find the exact location of the World Source. Back then, when Grandpa Yi fought against the three Gods of the Judgment Council, he lost the World Source. Over the years, Grandpa Yi's cultivation has stagnated, and he is very anxious."

"This concerns the strongest member of our Shadow Society. I will inform everyone in the forties and sixties to fully cooperate with the Holy Son."

“Eighth Grandmother, such a large-scale mobilization of ours may alarm the Trial Council. Therefore, we need you here to restrain the Trial Council in the capital as much as possible, since the capital is the closest to Qinshan.”

"Then what should I do?"

"The National Magic High School Tournament will be held next month, Eighth Grandma. At that time, you will have a lot more room to maneuver. Moreover, reaping these future stars will also be a huge blow to the Inquisition."

"The Holy Maiden's considerations are indeed thorough. I'll make the arrangements immediately. Perfect timing, the secret agents I've planted can all be activated this time."

"Alright, then let's see how powerful Eighth Grandma is! But Eighth Grandma, please be careful!"

"Thank you, Holy Maiden. This time, Holy Maiden, please maintain your student identity and do not expose yourself."

"I will."

"Then this time, let the shadow of the Shadow Society loom over the capital and Qinshan. When the Shadow Society descends, only the fittest will survive."

"The shadow of evil descends; only the fittest survive."

...

Lu Shi returned to her residence, chatted with her master and senior brother for a while, and then went back to her room.

Little Scissors absorbed the Void Alloy and began upgrading the Hidden Magic Needle and the Illusion Gold.

Lu Shi herself continued to refine her body with lightning.

To achieve the desired body-refining effect, the power of lightning must now be equivalent to that of high-level lightning magic.

Lu Shi sighed that her physique was becoming more and more like a humanoid monster.

However, considering the need to coordinate with the anti-magic space, it's better to go all out!

Next time, I'll find an opportunity to bring the forbidden spell mage into the magic-free space.

Then I'll see just how heavy the soul of a forbidden spellcaster is!
