Chapter 241 Life and Death

The mass deaths of ninjas finally alarmed the higher-ups in the Assassin's Guild.

Jason and Li Zhen fought their way through the enemy lines and finally arrived at the entrance to a hidden cave.

The once fearless ninjas suddenly stopped wielding their swords and bowed to an old man who slowly walked out of the cave.

The old man's beard and hair were a mix of black and gray, and his long, meticulously groomed beard reached his chest. His hair was tied up with a crown, giving him a classic, oriental look.

Especially that purplish-black round-necked robe; if it weren't for his Western-looking face, Li Zhen would have thought he was seeing an ancient person from some ancient Eastern country appear before him.

To the side of the old man, slightly behind him, a woman with dark skin, tall and slender, holding a child of about two or three years old, was glaring angrily at the two of them.

Without even needing to guess, Li Zhen knew the identities of the three people at first glance.

Reshogu, Talia, and Damian, who is still a little kid.

Lei Xiaogu raised his hand to dismiss the surrounding ninjas, his gaze sweeping over Jason and Li Zhen's attire.

Li Zhen clearly failed to attract Lei Xiaogu's attention, whose gaze was fixed on Jason almost without hesitation.

"You smell like you've been in the pool, but I don't have a strong impression of you."

Looking at Jason, the leader of the Assassin's Guild, with seven hundred years of experience, quickly made a guess.

"Although you are not from this time and space, since you have suffered the consequences of Lhasa Road's actions, why do you still want to lead outsiders to force your way into the Assassin's Alliance?"

Jason's face was covered by a red hood, so his expression was not visible, but Li Zhen could hear the disdainful sneer in his tone.

"A favor? If I'm not mistaken, you probably just want my corpse, hoping to achieve some ulterior motive through my resurrection."

Jason, with his clear mind, was exceptionally discerning, and his guess was basically the same as the original story.

One of the key figures behind Jason's resurrection was Reshogu.

This old man personally went to Gotham to dig up Jason's grave and took his remains away. When Jason was resurrected, he used the side effects of the Lazarus Pool to brainwash Jason into becoming his disciple. His real purpose was to undermine Batman's spirit.

Lei Xiaogu did not show any change in expression. He was not only the leader of the Assassin's Guild, but seven hundred years of time had also allowed him to forge a set of logically consistent philosophical concepts.

Of course, Lei Xiaogu, who considers himself a philosophy master, would not be easily swayed by having his inner thoughts exposed.

On the contrary, he shamelessly admitted it.

"There's only one thing I need to refute, child: I've never had any ulterior motives; I've always been able to say things openly and honestly."

"Then I can tell you openly and honestly."

Jason raised his two guns again.

"We're here today to borrow that pool."

Talia finally couldn't hold back any longer. She figured that if she hadn't been holding a child, this woman would have stood in front of Reshogu.

"Borrow? Like you guys, just barging in and killing everyone?"

Li Zhen was already getting impatient.

An organization that trains assassins accuses them of killing? The high-ranking humans who have been assassinated over the centuries haven't commented, but now you're complaining about being killed?

"Too much nonsense."

Li Zhen charged directly at Lei Xiaogu.

The old man had no choice but to turn his gaze to Li Zhen. At first, he maintained his calm and composed attitude, as if he wanted to mock the young man for being too reckless.

"You have good strength, but that's useless against skill."

Lei Xiaogu unfurled the sleeves of his long robe, without even drawing his sword, and instead adopted a seemingly unsound starting stance, as if he wanted to give a lesson to the young man with the ease of an elder.

"That's because you've never been punched in the face!"

Li Zhen did something that almost made Jason's eyes pop out of their sockets.

He retrieved his own corpse from the Shadow Dimension, which Rachel had granted him access to, and swung his racket powerfully at Rashomon, who was trying to maintain his composure.

The cataclysmic virus evolved from the Amozo virus did kill Lee Jung, but the intelligent atom still existed. Some of Lee Jung's superpowers were only weakened, not completely disappeared.

The contrast between this corpse and Li Zhen when she was alive is perhaps like the difference in strength between Kara and Superman.

But in front of a mere enhanced Earthling who has lived for eight hundred years, all of this is no different.

Reshock raised his hands to try and deflect the attack, but it was as if tofu had crashed into a piece of steel. Both Talia and himself could clearly see every detail of the deformation and eventual shattering of the bones inside those hands.

Little Damian watched as his grandfather's arms were broken, his old face slapped against the chest muscles of the corpse that Li Zhen had thrown out, and he flew out vomiting blood. He clapped his little hands happily.

Talia stared in disbelief as Li Zhen slapped her father away, hoisted the corpse onto her shoulder, and continued rushing deeper into the cave without even glancing at her.

Just as she was about to grab Damian and chase after him, Jason shot her at the foot of her foot.

Red Hood walked towards Tamia, gun in hand, shaking his head and clicking his tongue repeatedly.

"Madam, your son is so adorable, you wouldn't want him to get hurt, would you?"

After running through the intricate and long passageway, Li Zhen finally looked at the pool of emerald green water and put her body down. Then, taking advantage of her current state as a universal body in the God Realm, she squatted down, scooped up a handful of water, and took a sip.

Smacking her lips, feeling the stimulation that was rampaging through her body, and the stress response of her entire divine power, Li Zhen knew that this was indeed the Pool of Lhasa Road.

Behind him, Lei Xiaogu, filled with shock and rage, swung his two shattered arms and chased after him.

"No! What kind of corpse are you going to throw in? That body is too powerful; it will consume more than half of the pool's power at once!"

Li Zhen turned around and smiled, then activated the spacetime acceleration device of the Kronos suit. Her spirit then detached from her divine body and crashed into her own corpse.

The corpse, its eyes closed, faced the passageway and, under Lei Xiaogu's furious gaze, plunged into the pool with a splash.

Emerald green water splashed up, and at the same time, the spacetime field that had been covering the pool was ejected, sending both the God Realm Universal Body and Lei Xiaogu flying.

Time began to accelerate wildly.

Lei Xiaogu watched helplessly as a pale arm emerged from the pool. The resurrection process, which should have taken seven days and seven nights, was accelerated to the blink of an eye.

Li Zhen stood up from the pool on Lhasa Road, grimacing, and looked at Lei Xiaogu. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, blood gushed from his seven orifices, and he collapsed back down in shock.

Water splashed up, then returned to calm.

The next second, Li Zhen's hand emerged from the pool again, and using the momentum, she pulled her body out of the water.

But he couldn't utter a single word. With a furrowed brow, he reached out and wiped away the blood that had once again seeped from the corner of his eye, before falling backward, splashing up a spray of scarlet and emerald green water.

Lei Xiaogu just stared blankly as Li Zhen repeatedly stood up from the pool, only to fall back into the water again, bleeding from all seven orifices.

During this time, the blood that kept gushing from his seven orifices actually turned the originally emerald green pool water into a large area of ​​bright red.

But Li Zhen still did not fully revive. He would not even stand up again. He just sank to the bottom of the water, repeating the cycle of revival and death.

With a large influx of blood and the mixing of colors, the original pool water of Lhasa Road even began to change from turquoise to dark red.
