Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dezheng had already taken a bold step forward!
"Bang!"
That step on the ground produced a low, explosive sound!
The sharp energy within his body was not released outwards, but it suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, leaving only a blur.
Zhao Dezheng's goal was extremely clear: to rush straight towards the two Changshengmen experts who were constantly retreating, trying to activate the alarm and seek outside support.
"puff!"
The first strike, a precise chop to the throat of the expert on the left.
The other person's eyes widened, and the cry for help that was about to be shouted was cut off in their throat. Their body went limp and fell toward the alarm button, missing it by half an inch.
"Snap!"
The second strike came as a right leg sweeping like a battle axe, hitting the expert on the right temple squarely.
The neck bone was bent at an eerie angle, and the muffled sound of cartilage shattering could be clearly heard. The person died on the spot, and the door that was so close by was not pushed open.
The sound of two bodies falling to the ground sent shivers down the spines of the other experts.
"Madman...madman! You really dare to kill us?"
"Headquarters won't let you get away with this!"
"Let me go?" Before Zhao Dezheng could finish speaking, his figure had already pounced on him like a ghost.
With a single twist of the arms, the neck was broken.
The remaining staff of the Changsheng Sect turned pale upon seeing this and quickly fled towards another entrance.
Zhao Dezheng had already caught up with them.
His movements were clean and efficient, with a military-style simplicity and lethality; every strike went straight for the vital points, and his efficiency was terrifying.
These accomplices who aided and abetted evil were completely eliminated in just a few seconds.
Those distinguished guests who were just immersed in the joy of "rebirth" had no time to react to the shocking change when they saw that the Changshengmen personnel who had been so respectful to them were now all lying on the ground.
Zhao Dezheng swayed again, returning to Li Yu's side, and said calmly:
"These experts are just the lowest-level managers and implementers of the Longevity Sect. They don't know many secrets, but they deserve to die for aiding and abetting evil."
His cold gaze swept over the remaining distinguished guests:
"As for these old guys... their identities are special, so they might still be of some use. Let's spare their lives for now; they can be used as bargaining chips later."
Upon hearing Zhao Dezheng's words, the distinguished guests frowned deeply.
After exchanging a few glances, they quickly calmed down, even subtly straightening their hunched backs and no longer panicking.
Li Yu was very impressed with Zhao Dezheng's swift and efficient methods, but his attention was drawn to another minor matter.
His gaze fell on Zhao Dezheng's bare chest. In the brief moment of the battle, the wounds on the other's body that had just healed and still had scars were now fading rapidly, becoming in line with the surrounding skin!
This healing speed is beyond the capabilities of ordinary treatments; it is even faster and more effective than the regeneration abilities of many awakened beings.
Li Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, slowly turned her head, and locked her gaze on the few healing-type awakened individuals who had been observing from the sidelines, revealing an undisguised sharp light in her eyes.
Several healing-type awakened individuals felt a chill run down their spines. Li Yu's "hungry wolf" gaze made their skin crawl, and they subconsciously took a half step back.
They could sense that Li Yu's gaze wasn't that of someone looking at a person, but rather like that of a hunter spotting its prey.
Zhao Dezheng followed Li Yu's gaze and saw the few who had been silent and ignored by him, instantly guessing what Li Yu meant.
So Zhao Dezheng walked towards the group, raised his arm and moved it slightly. The surging energy that had been restored in his body due to the 'rebirth' instantly enveloped him.
He looked up at the five tense-looking healing-type awakened individuals, his cold voice carrying a judgmental tone:
"You five, as healing-type awakened beings, have the ability to help the world and save lives, yet here you are helping the Longevity Sect strip away life, committing heinous crimes!"
"This is an outrageous crime, an outrage against all reason, and he deserves to be punished! He must be executed!"
Li Yu looked over in confusion, only to see Zhao Dezheng exuding an aura of righteousness, like a judge in court, seemingly unaware that there was anything special about what he had said.
It was only then that Li Yu finally noticed the strangeness in Zhao Dezheng's behavior and even his speech.
This person is not normal!
The moment Zhao Dezheng finished speaking, the energy wrapped around his right fist was compressed to a high degree, condensing into several semi-transparent cubes.
"Fang Yu has given up all hope!"
Zhao Dezheng threw a punch with a resolute momentum that could pierce through all obstacles, heading straight for those healing-type awakened individuals!
The pupils of the five healing-type awakened individuals shrank suddenly. Just as they were about to disperse, they felt a tightness around their bodies, which were completely sealed off by a series of cubes.
As Zhao Dezheng approached, the cube rapidly tightened, completely enveloping the five people.
The chilling energy seeped into his body, causing his blood to almost freeze, rendering him completely immobile.
Looking at that terrifying fist, the awakened ones all understood.
If they were hit by that punch, they would have no chance of survival.
"Zhao Dezheng! -- We just saved your life!"
One of the healing-type awakened individuals attempted to resist, channeling all the energy within his body in an effort to break free from the confinement.
A pale green halo flickered on his body, yet he was powerless to break free.
But with only healing abilities, how could he possibly be a match for Zhao Dezheng, even though the latter's body had just recovered?
In the blink of an eye, the punch, imbued with deadly power, had already struck him.
Just as these healing-type awakened individuals were about to lose their lives, a hand suddenly cut into the trajectory of their fist!
"Bang!"
Zhao Dezheng's fist, which was powerful enough to pierce through five Awakened Ones, was firmly grasped by Li Yu with one hand!
In Li Yu's palm, tiny spatial cracks continued to tear, accompanied by a burst of scorching heat, melting and dispelling the sharp cubes on his fist.
Zhao Dezheng's pupils suddenly contracted!
Although his punch wasn't delivered at his peak full strength, it combined the sharp energy he had just regained with the condensed killing move of "Fangyu Jueshin," making it quite powerful.
But Li Yu caught it with one hand so casually.
His previous assessment of Li Yu's strength seemed to be far from adequate!
This tenth star lord is even more unfathomable than the heroic image he pieced together from snippets of conversation with others while he was bedridden!
Upon seeing this, the Hei brothers gasped in shock.
They knew Li Yu was very strong and even more audacious.
But this is Zhao Deyang's own younger brother!
Zhao Dezheng, the most beloved and once most dazzling genius of the Zhao family of Jincheng.
If Li Yu really wanted to take Zhao Dezheng too...
The consequences would be unbearable for the three brothers, and such a conflict could even affect the future of Zhongzhou.
Li Yu exerted a slight force, pressing Zhao Dezheng's fist down firmly, her tone calm yet authoritative:
"Keep these people; I have a use for them."
