"HISS."
The professionists watching from behind sucked in a cold breath at the sight, not daring to take another step forwardânot until Wen Yuâs gaze swept over their group.
"The item is with me," Wen Yu stated as he slowly advanced, his voice cold. "But youâve heard the alert, havenât you?"
"Even the alert warned you: greed leads to destruction."
"No, I was wrong. You bunch of trash donât even qualify to be greedy, yet you still want to benefit from me? In your next lives, donât be human. Itâs too exhausting for you! Youâd be better off as pigs!"
As Wen Yuâs voice grew louder and his murderous intent stronger, he finally raised his steel saber against these professionists!
"Run Fast!"
Finally, a professionist with some sense reacted. He realized that this powerful expert before them had no intention to negotiate or compromise but had instead begun a massacre, and he screamed wildly.
This yell broke the trance of most professionists. Some frantically ran backward, while others far from Wen Yu directly took out their teleportation jade charms and teleported out of the treasure land!
However, some, blinded by greed or believing they were powerful enough to fight Wen Yu, charged at him!
The bloody slaughter began in earnest.
Wielding his steel saber, Wen Yu charged at the nearest professionist.
"First one."
Like a call from hell, the professionist hadnât even drawn his Weapon before Wen Yuâs steel saber was at his throat!
The tremendous force instantly decapitated the professionist. Then.
"Second one."
Another Level 2 professionist attacked Wen Yu from behind. However, this newly promoted professionist didnât even get a chance to draw his Weapon before Wen Yu cut him in half at the waist.
"AAH! AAH! Save me, save me!"
Being sliced in half wasnât enough to kill this professionist immediately, but the feeling of imminent death was even more terrifying, causing him to let out a deafening wail!
The wails woke the remaining people. The professionists who were about to attack Wen Yu immediately stopped in their tracks and turned to run!
But it was already too late!
"Donât rush to run. Youâre the third one!"
The call from hell sounded in the slowest professionistâs ear, followed by a sharp pain. A steel saber pierced his chest from behind, causing the professionist to howl in agony.
Unfortunately, Wen Yu had no intention of showing mercy.
Wen Yu exploded into motion. His steel saber, still impaling one professionist, pierced through this new target as he saw the man frantically digging out his teleportation jade charm.
The two victims, skewered face to face on Wen Yuâs steel saber, were lifted high into the air.
"Fourth one!"
With a twist of his right hand, the steel saber tore a head-sized hole through both professionists. One of the professionists impaled on the saber was already dead; the other was spewing blood, gazing at Wen Yu with a dull expression.
Wen Yu crushed this second professionistâs skull under his foot and then chased after the other professionists, who were fleeing farther and farther away.
"All! Of! You! Stay!"
Wen Yuâs roar echoed through the sky.
Ahead, more and more professionists, attracted by Pandoraâs Magic Box, were surrounding Wen Yu.
"Fifth one, sixth one, seventh one... twelfth one!"
As Wen Yuâs speed gradually increased, his killing pace grew faster and faster.
Until Wen Yuâs steel saber was caught by someone!
"Oh?"
Wen Yu hadnât completely lost himself to bloodlust. Seeing the powerful expert who had suddenly appeared before him, he immediately took two steps back.
The one who caught Wen Yuâs steel saber was a young man in a military uniform.
"Interesting. Sequence Number?" Wen Yu looked at the military man before him with a smile that wasnât quite a smile.
He had neatly cut short hair and a ramrod-straight posture, clearly a professional soldier. Behind him stood two more professionists in similar attire.
And behind these three, a large group of people watched Wen Yu in terror, as if looking at a monster!
The military man looked at the corpses littering the ground, then at the blood-soaked Wen Yu, his fists clenching tightly!
"Correct, Sequence Number 29. Donât you think your actions have been excessive? These people were clearly trying to flee. Why didnât you spare them?"
"Heh, a bleeding-heart do-gooder, huh?"
Wen Yu let out a sarcastic laugh, ignored the military manâs question, and began beheading the corpses on the ground.
Picking up a severed head, Wen Yu said to the military man, "Since you were able to block my saber, youâre naturally qualified to participate in this competition. Follow me."
After saying this, Wen Yu began to collect the severed heads on the ground.
The military man, Sequence Number 29, watched Wen Yu with a furious expression but did nothing.
Just now, blocking Wen Yuâs saber had numbed his right hand and caused his Soul to oscillate violently. As a result, he still couldnât fully control his body.
"By the way, help me with a few of these. There are so many, I canât carry them all myself!"
He directly handed three human heads to the military man, forcefully stuffing them into his arms as the manâs expression grew increasingly grim.
"Letâs go."
Wen Yu, carrying a string of human heads, walked towards the place where he had earlier parted ways with Cyclops.
When Wen Yu arrived, Cyclops was greedily tearing into the corpses on the ground!
The flesh and blood of professionists were even more beneficial for a mutant beastâs growth.
So even though most of the corpses on the ground belonged to Level 1 professionists, they still had a strengthening effect on Cyclops.
"Alright, let me count."
"One, two, three... twenty-seven. Hmm, thatâs enough!"
Listening to Wen Yuâs indifferent tone as he counted the corpses, the military man behind him finally couldnât hold back any longer!
"You... youâre a madman!"
Hearing the anger and mockery in the military manâs tone, Wen Yu turned and looked at him coldly.
"Youâre mistaken. By your logic, Iâm a *powerful* madman! Note well, âpowerfulâ is the key point!"
After a brief pause, Wen Yu continued, "You look like a soldier, right? I spared you because you managed to block my saber. However, donât even think about testing my limits."
"As for these people on the ground, I didnât kill them; they died to their own greed!"
"Also, Iâm about to say something. You should step back a bit and listen quietly. You should know that at this distance, your life isnât guaranteed!"
