Chapter 73 Slaughter

"It seems like I used a bit too much force."

Russell's original intention was simply to grab the other person's head and lift him up.

But by accident, he crushed it.

"It's disgusting." Russell tossed the corpse aside, glanced at his stained hands, and rubbed them against the wall.

"To prevent this from happening again, how about we have a proper talk?"

"I'm a very kind person."

Russell gave a friendly smile, indicating that he meant no harm.

However, when he crushed the man in black's head, countless drops of blood and inexplicable substances inevitably splattered all over Russell.

At this moment, he appeared exceptionally struggling and terrifying.

"You still want me to take action?" Russell's smile vanished.

His soul is weak now, but that doesn't mean he's lost the ability to explore his surroundings.

Not to mention that Russell's transformation of Dylan's soul is proceeding at a steady pace.

The amount of soul power that can be mobilized is also increasing.

"What an ungrateful fellow." Russell's toes lightly touched the ground again as he darted toward another shadow.

Clearly, there was also a man in black lurking there.

With Russell conserving his strength, he spun around and kicked out, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound.

The man in black was sent flying backwards like a rag doll, with all the bones in his body shattered!

After falling to the ground, it was clear that it had taken in more air than it was exhaling.

He won't live much longer.

The last man in black held his breath, his face filled with disbelief.

Is this Dylan Noble?!

Dylan Noble, who is said to have suffered a severe head injury and is lying in a hospital bed with little time left?

"Shouldn't you be more sensible?"

Russell placed his hand lightly on the other person's shoulder, without using any force, yet the other person felt as if their bones had cracked!

He was promoted to the fourth-tier rider, and with the added bonus of "extraordinary power".

Russell could accidentally crush a Tier 3 knight to death!

If Russell were to face a sixth-tier knight now, it would likely be an absolute and one-sided crushing defeat!

"I am too powerful."

Russell whispered, "I could easily crush you."

"So please don't make me do that. Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The man in black nodded frantically.

After witnessing the gruesome deaths of his two companions, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of Russell even if he had a hundred times the courage.

"Very good, now I'll ask questions and you answer."

"My first question is, were you sent by Dio Noble?" Russell asked.

"If I answer your question, may I—" the man in black tried to bargain.

"It depends on my mood," Russell said.

"If you don't agree, I—Aaaaaah!!"

Russell casually ripped off one of the other man's arms and said impatiently, "Answer my question."

Different approaches are needed for different people, and even different species.

In particular, Russell is now unable to use magic and can only use some primitive but effective methods.

E.g.

He disguised himself as a mentally unstable, brutal, and deranged serial killer in order to break down the other person's mental defenses.

"We are the men of the Marquis of Bruce, and our goal is to support Dio Noble to become Viscount Noble."

"By now, our people should have killed Vincent Noble and taken control of the entire Noble family!"

"The three of us are here to kill you, so that Dio can finally gain control of the Noble family."

"By the way, our people actually first looked for you, the most promising heir, but the higher-ups seem quite annoyed by your initial attitude."

That's why we approached Dio Noble to collaborate.

"I've already told you everything, what do you think..." The man in black looked at Russell with some hesitation.

"I will send them to reunite with you soon," Russell said with a smile.

"No! No! You don't—" Before the man in black could finish speaking, he had already lost the ability to speak forever.

"The Marquis of Bruce."

Russell stood up, his eyes showing no fear.

He's just a seventh-tier knight.

So what if he broke through his limits three times and gained battle qi?

How could it possibly compete with the bonus from Russell's three rare purple affixes?

"To be on the safe side, after dealing with tonight's intruders, we'll proceed with advancing to the fifth rank before heading to Marquis Bruce's fiefdom."

Russell moved swiftly, appearing like a blurry phantom in the moonlight, as he sped toward the main hall of the castle.

He had already sensed the life force over there, but needed to confirm it, so he chatted with the man in black for a while.

Given Russell's expertise in the soul, judging whether a third-tier knight was lying would be quite simple.

You can tell just by observing the other person's subtle mental fluctuations.

Before long, Russell arrived at his destination.

Several third-tier knights jumped out from the shadows and attacked Russell without saying a word.

Tonight at Noble Manor, anyone who isn't one of theirs will be killed.

There will be no problem.

"I feel weak." Russell felt as if several mosquitoes were buzzing towards him.

It cannot harm him.

Even if you kill it, you'll still get your hands dirty.

But you have to kill it because it keeps buzzing.

"What a hassle."

Russell bowed slightly, his muscles tensing, and then took a deep breath, like a lurking tiger!

Once the three third-tier knights got close, Russell made his move.

In an instant, he seemed to split into four people, appearing simultaneously in front of all the third-tier knights!

The next moment, Russell was still standing in the same spot.

The previous scene felt like a hallucination.

The fact that the four riders fell to the ground proves that Russell did indeed make a move.

It's just that they acted so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

Russell took two steps forward, picked up a knight's sword, pushed open the door in front of him, and walked into the castle's hall.

"It's quite lively." Russell glanced around.

The once clean and tidy hall was now a complete mess.

Vincent Noble, a fifth-tier knight, was being trampled underfoot by a man in black, just like a dead dog.

"Run! Run!"

Vincent turned his head with difficulty, looking in Russell's direction, and with all his might, uttered those two words.

"Click."

The man in black stomped on Vincent's armor and chest, grinding them down hard twice.

"Did I tell you to speak?" the man in black asked coldly.

Russell watched this scene quietly.

The original owner of this body, Dylan Noble's father, was trampled to death right in front of him.

Russell turned his head slightly and saw Dior's eyes filled with both surprise and fear.

He didn't say anything, but he darted out at high speed, grabbed Dio's neck, and snapped it off.

Then he casually tossed it aside.
