Chapter 416 Instant Kill (Page 12)
The skeletons seemed quite pleased with the recruits' reactions, and even played pranks on them—
A skeleton sneaked up behind a new recruit and suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The recruit turned around and came face to face with a skull, immediately fainting.
Skeleton: "???"
Another skeleton picked up the frying pan that had fallen to the ground, and like Baili Pangpang, banged it twice, then nodded in satisfaction.
Another skeleton was chasing Qian Duoduo when Qian Duoduo slipped and fell flat on his face. The skeleton stopped, tilted its head to look at him, then reached out to help him up and even kindly brushed the dust off him.
Qian Duoduo: "...Thank you?"
Skeleton: "Click-clack!" (You're welcome!)
The new recruits gradually discovered that these skeletons didn't seem... so scary?
Liu Yang hid behind a tree, observing the skeletons' behavior, when suddenly a thought struck him: "Duo Duo! These skeletons don't seem to have any ill intentions!"
Qian Duoduo gasped for breath: "Then why are they chasing us?!"
Liu Yang grinned: "I guess... this is a test Zhang Yun is giving us!"
He jumped to his feet and shouted at the skeletons, "Brothers! Don't be afraid! These skeletons are fake!"
The skeletons all turned to look at him, the green flames in their eye sockets flickering.
Liu Yang: "...Uh, never mind."
However, at this moment——
Li Zhenzhen suddenly rushed out, holding a wooden stick she had picked up from somewhere, and shouted, "Sisters! It's time to fight back!"
She lunged forward, swinging the wooden stick—
"Snapped!"
A skull's head was knocked off.
The skeleton stood still, touched its empty neck, then bent down to pick up its head and put it back on.
Li Zhenzhen: "..."
Skeleton: "Click-clack!" (Is it fun?)
The new recruits gradually discovered that although the skeletons looked scary, they didn't seem to actually harm them.
So, some people began to try to "communicate" with the skeletons.
Qian Duoduo took out a bag of spicy strips and tentatively handed it to a skeleton.
The skeleton took the spicy strip, smelled it, and then... stuffed it into its empty ribcage.
Qian Duoduo: "...It accepted it?"
Long Tiesheng held up a flag and preached the doctrines of mortals and immortals to a skeleton.
The skeleton listened with great interest and even nodded.
Long Tiesheng was moved: "It understood!"
Li Mo tried to trap a skeleton, but the skeleton walked into the trap on its own, sat inside, and gave her a thumbs up.
Li Mo: "...Does this count as a success?"
In the distance, Zhang Yun stood before the Gate of the Underworld, watching the recruits and skeletons "coexisting harmoniously," and shook his head helplessly.
"These new recruits... are bolder than I expected."
In the crimson mist, Zhang Yun stood before the Gate of the Underworld, watching the recruits and skeletons "coexist peacefully," his lips twitching slightly.
"These guys... they're incredibly audacious!"
He snorted coldly and snapped his fingers.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, all the skeletons' eyes lit up with a scarlet light, their previously languid skeletons instantly straightened, and their joints cracked and popped, exuding a murderous aura!
Liu Yang, with his arm around the skeleton in front of him, grinned and said, "Brother, your bones are pretty white. What brand of bleach did you use?"
The skeleton slowly turned its head, its scarlet eyes staring straight at him.
Liu Yang: "...Uh, never mind."
The next second—
"boom!"
The skeleton delivered a bone fist to his stomach, and Liu Yang instantly curled up like a shrimp, tears streaming down his face: "Damn it! No sportsmanship at all!"
The skeletons went completely berserk, and the recruits instantly went from "friendly exchanges" to "running away in panic"!
Qian Duoduo was being chased by three skeletons, shouting as he ran, "Brother Liu! Help! They're going to eat me!"
Liu Yang clutched his stomach and struggled to his feet: "Eat you? They don't even have stomachs!"
Li Zhenzhen tried to fight back with the wooden stick, but the skeleton snatched it away, snapped it in two, and handed it back to her, as if to say, "Want to fight again?"
Li Zhenzhen: "...I'm not fighting anymore!"
Long Tiesheng, carrying a large flag, bravely stood in front of the crowd: "Warriors of mortals and immortals will never retreat!"
A skeleton tilted its head and looked at him, then—
"Shh!"
A bone knife cleaved his flagpole in two.
Long Tiesheng: "...My flag!!!"
Just when the recruits were about to be completely wiped out—
"boom!!!"
A dark red energy shot into the sky, and the violent shockwave instantly overturned the surrounding skeletons!
Everyone turned around in shock, only to see Lu Baoyou standing there, her eyes burning with dark red flames, and six dark red illusory wings slowly unfolding behind her, a terrifying pressure sweeping across the entire area!
"Fallen... fallen angel?!"
The recruits were dumbfounded, and even the skeletons stopped what they were doing and all looked at him.
Lu Baoyou sneered: "A bunch of skeletons, daring to be arrogant?"
He raised his hand and waved—
"Shh!"
Six dark red light blades swept out, instantly turning the skeletons into dust wherever they passed!
Liu Yang rubbed his eyes: "Am I seeing things? Lu Baoyou... is that powerful?"
Qian Duoduo excitedly grabbed his arm: "Brother Liu! We're saved!"
In the distance, Zhang Yun raised an eyebrow: "Oh? A fallen angel's agent?"
He watched with great interest as Lu Baoyou dominated the battlefield, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Interesting."
With a wave of his hand, even more skeletons poured out of the Netherworld Gate, this time even including skeleton knights riding bone horses!
Lu Baoyou sneered, "No matter how many come, we'll wipe them all out!"
With a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky, dark red energy gathering in his palms before slamming into the ground—
"boom!!!"
The sea of skulls was instantly cleared, creating a vacuum zone!
The new recruits were thrilled and shouted:
"Brother Lu is awesome!"
"Take them down!"
"We want to go too!"
Inspired by Lu Baoyou, the new recruits finally regained their fighting spirit!
Liu Yang picked up the broken flagpole from the ground and shouted, "Brothers! Charge with Brother Lu!"
Qian Duoduo pulled out a crossbow and aimed it at the skeleton knight: "Take this arrow!"
Li Zhenzhen and Li Mo teamed up, one drawing fire while the other launched a sneak attack, their coordination was impeccable.
Long Tiesheng… picked up the broken flagpole, waving it with tears in his eyes: “The glory of mortals and immortals!!!”
As the skeletons retreated in disarray, Zhang Yun, standing before the Gates of the Underworld, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Not bad, that's more like it."
...
In the underground monitoring room, Yuan Gang stared at Lu Baoyou on the screen, his brows furrowed.
"How did this kid sneak in?!"
He turned to his adjutant beside him: "Check his registration records."
The adjutant quickly pulled up the information: "Report! Lu Baoyou's training qualification has indeed been revoked, but... it seems he climbed over the wall himself."
Yuan Gang's lips twitched: "Climb over the wall? Are the walls of the Night Watch base made of paper?!"
The adjutant muttered under his breath, "Maybe... the Nightfall Squad brought...?"
Yuan Gang sighed, rubbing his forehead. "...These problem children."
He sighed and waved his hand, "Never mind, since he's already here, let him stay."
The adjutant hesitated, "But his abilities..."
Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes, revealing a meaningful smile: "Perfect, let's add some difficulty for the Nightfall Squad."
On the training field, Lu Baoyou's six dark red wings slowly folded, and the surrounding skeletons had already been completely cleared away by him.
The new recruits stared at him in disbelief, their eyes filled with admiration.
Liu Yang swallowed hard: "Brother Lu... can I touch your wings?"
Lu Baoyou gave him a cold look: "Want to die?"
Liu Yang immediately withdrew his hand: "...Never mind what I said."
Qian Duoduo excitedly leaned over: "Brother Lu! That move you just made was so cool! Can you teach me?"
Lu Baoyou: "I can't teach it."
Qian Duoduo: "Why?"
Lu Baoyou: "You're too weak."
Qian Duoduo: "..."
Li Zhenzhen crossed her arms and looked Lu Baoyou up and down: "Fallen Angel Agent? No wonder you have such a bad temper."
Lu Baoyou glanced at her: "You're not convinced?"
Li Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow: "So what if you're not convinced?"
The two locked eyes, sparks flying.
Long Tiesheng, carrying the broken flag, said with a serious expression, "Brother Lu, warriors of the Mortal Immortals welcome you to join us!"
Lu Baoyou: "...Get lost."
In the distance, the eight members of the Nightfall Squad stood on a high platform, silently observing Lu Baoyou's performance.
Baili Pangpang, munching on a chicken leg, mumbled, "This kid's pretty arrogant. Should I go and check him out?"
Shen Qingzhu pushed up her sunglasses: "You want to go? You'll probably get swatted away by his wing."
Baili Pangpang retorted, "Who do you think you are! My frying pan isn't just for show!"
An Qingyu pushed up her glasses and analyzed, "The Fallen Angel's agent has an ability rating of at least 'Chuan' level. His combat experience is unknown, but his combat instinct is extremely strong."
Jiang Er asked softly, "So...should we fight him?"
Lin Qiye smiled slightly: "No rush, let's take a look first."
Zhang Yun leaned lazily against the railing, his gaze falling on Lu Baoyou, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Interesting."
Just as the new recruits were still in awe of Lu Baoyou's strength, Yuan Gang's voice suddenly came over the loudspeaker:
"Attention all personnel! Rule change!"
The new recruits all looked up.
"Due to the addition of special personnel, the difficulty of this challenge has been increased!"
"New objective: Shoot off the mask of any member of the Nightfall Squad, or... defeat Lu Baoyou!"
"Successful applicants graduate directly!"
The new recruits: "???"
Lu Baoyou: "..."
Liu Yang's eyes widened: "What do you mean? We still have to fight Lu Baoyou?!"
Qian Duoduo trembled: "I choose to fight the Nightfall Squad..."
Li Zhenzhen snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? Come at me all at once!"
Long Tiesheng raised the broken flag high: "Warriors of mortals and immortals! Charge!"
The recruits looked at each other, and finally—
"Rush!!!"
A group of people turned around and pounced on Lu Baoyou!
Lu Baoyou: "...Are you looking for death?!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos!
Liu Yang and Qian Duoduo tried to ambush Lu Baoyou from behind, but he turned around and swept his wings, sending the two flying and crashing into the bushes.
Li Zhenzhen and Li Mo joined forces to attack, one feinting and the other launching a sneak attack, but Lu Baoyou didn't fall for it at all and instead used a dark red energy to force the two of them back.
Long Tiesheng raised the broken flag high and shouted, "For the mortals and immortals!" before being kicked away by Lu Baoyou.
The new recruits rushed forward one after another, but Lu Baoyou was like a war god, with six wings dancing and dark red energy raging, causing chaos and destruction wherever he went!
