Zhang Zhiwei dodged to the side, his expression slightly solemn. The impact of that attack convinced him that the person in front of him was undoubtedly a level 4 Awakener. His protective golden light was torn apart by the unstoppable force, and he could not stop it at all.

"Boom!"

Jones relentlessly attacked, his offensive fierce and his eyes growing increasingly menacing. The old ghost maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far from him, occasionally unleashing lightning strikes that irritated him.

The entire manor square was shattered during the fierce battle between the two.

"Old man, you're afraid too?"

"Scurry away like a rat in a stinking ditch, and try your luck against me, shall we?"

Faced with Jones's insults and provocations, Zhang Zhiwei abandoned his usual talkative nature and ignored them. Instead, he transformed golden light into a long whip, intertwined with lightning, and lashed out directly at Jones.

"Zi la!!"

As they approached Jones, a sudden change occurred; their numbers surged, forming a cage of golden light and thunderous magic that converged from all directions in an instant.

"Boom!"

Jones' pupils contracted sharply, sensing something was wrong. He grabbed a piece of empty space with both hands and tore it open to the left and right, breaking free.

Even with such speed, it was still too late. The golden whip struck his back, unleashing a burst of lightning that left his body, which was far stronger than steel, covered in blood and nearly broke his bones. Enraged, he roared like a bloodthirsty beast.

Without any intelligence, after several probing attacks and defenses, Zhang Zhiwei discovered that the opponent's ability had a limited range of influence; only substances that the hands could touch could be mutated, and the rest of the body did not possess the same ability.

In this way, he immediately had a solution.

"Boom!!!"

A hundred bolts of lightning pierced through the dark clouds and descended to the mortal realm, relentlessly suppressing Jones as his target.

"You old bastard, I'll skin you alive!!"

"Fuck!"

Jones repeatedly broke through the annoying lightning bolts, and was about to retaliate when his expression changed drastically. A golden cage, several times larger than before, had already sealed him inside.

"Damn it."

"call out!"

The scent of death drew ever closer, and Jones's heart trembled violently. Without a moment's hesitation, he began to retreat out of instinct for survival.

However, the lightning was endless, surrounding him until his scalp tingled, and before long his body was covered in wounds.

The golden cage contracted rapidly, and sharp golden beams of light, like the cruel torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death, struck at a speed equal to that of thunder.

"what!!!"

A shrill roar rang out as Jones was slashed and cut all over his body by hundreds of golden beams.

"Pfft!"

At that very moment when an opening appeared, Zhang Zhiwei charged into the cage made of golden light with unprecedented speed.

With a single palm strike, he slammed into the back of Jones's head. The force was terrifying; an invisible aura pierced through the ground for a hundred meters, causing the manor to teeter on the brink of collapse. The severed head was completely obliterated.

"Tick! Tick!"

The headless corpse knelt on the ground; Jones was dead.

This is the old master's fighting style. Unlike Lu Jin's domineering one-hit-kill approach, his moves are steady and ruthless. In a stalemate, he seizes every opportunity to gain absolute dominance and then kills the opponent with a single blow.

The Wang family members and the three awakened individuals present were horrified, their faces turning deathly pale. Jones was someone who could fight the army head-on, yet he was killed like an animal in just seven minutes.

"Walk--!"

A blonde, blue-eyed woman shouted angrily, no longer caring about the transaction, and tried to escape this hellish scene.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced sideways, and the rolling thunderbolts followed his thoughts. The level 3 Awakener was completely unable to withstand the thunderbolts and was blasted from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, leaving him without any breath.

"Zhang Zhiwei!!"

Even if I die here today, I will make you pay with your life!

Wang Qianyin's father had fallen into a state of madness; his eyes were bloodshot and filled with boundless hatred.

With a loud "boom!", his body underwent a strange transformation, and countless black energies overflowed, instantly engulfing him. The black mist, resembling a swamp, writhed and a demon-like creature emerged.

"?"

Zhang Zhiwei wasn't going to tolerate him. Heavenly lightning was almost overwhelmingly effective against evil spirits. Several bolts of lightning flashed by, and that inhuman, ghostly thing was completely annihilated.

The two surviving Level 3 Awakened individuals, looking terrified, communicated haltingly in Chinese:

"We left voluntarily. If you want to kill, then kill them."

"Boom!!"

Zhang Zhiwei lashed out with his whip, not giving them a chance to negotiate. He had already killed them to this extent; it was just a matter of course.

"Pfft!"

The two were cut in half at the waist, but they did not die. They were still struggling and cursing when the golden light returned, like a blade slicing through the void, splitting their foreheads and ending their eternal silence.

"what!!"

The remaining seven members of the Wang family howled in despair, weeping uncontrollably. Some collapsed to the ground, completely losing the will to resist, while others stared with malice, exhausting every word to curse.

"The vengeful spirits of my Wang family will haunt your disciples and descendants for generations to come; you will all die a horrible death!"

"You old bastard, come on, kill me."

"My biggest regret is that I didn't strike first and wipe out all of you hypocritical beasts back then."

Looking at the honest-looking, short, stout middle-aged man in a suit, Zhang Zhiwei was not angry at his insulting words, but only felt sorry for him. With a wave of his hand, golden light swept around.

The weeping, the fleeing, the begging for death—all the remaining direct descendants of the Wang family were slaughtered.

Amidst the raging flames and the ruins, a thick stench of blood and burning filled the air as Zhang Zhiwei slowly emerged. Behind him, the manor was utterly destroyed, littered with corpses.

The resentment and malevolent energy surged into the sky, only to be instantly dispersed by the descending lightning. The Danqing family, a clan with a thousand-year history, was annihilated, without even the chance to transform into vengeful ghosts.

Chapter 349 Pill Devouring ProMax, Instantly Killing Hundreds of Awakened Ones

On May 14th, the day the Wang family was exterminated, all of their direct descendants overseas died in less than half an hour.

That night, the two returned to Longhu Mountain. Zhang Zhiwei began to prepare for the reconstruction of the sect, while Lu Jin used his true magic as a medium to harmonize the earth's energy and spent nearly six hours repairing the damaged and collapsed mountain structure.

In the evening, news came from the Class C mechs that were carrying out missions at the front.

"The 48 people on the list have been eliminated. Please verify."

The miniature computer's interface displayed high-resolution photos of human heads, all with identical wounds—shots to the center of the forehead.

"Verification complete, return to base."

Zhang Zhiwei's pupils narrowed slightly. He clicked on the selection in the virtual screen above his eyes, turning the mecha back to the East China region.

As the president of the Security Council, he has the authority to directly deploy one Class B mech and five Class C mechs.

The other vice presidents have the authority to operate 5 Class C mechs, while councilors have even less, with only 3.

this day.

Zhang Zhiwei received many greetings from the disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion who were away from home. He replied to each one, which dispelled their concerns and worries.

Fortunately, the Celestial Master's Mansion had accumulated a considerable fortune over the decades, and with the help of wealthy patrons who regularly visited them, a large number of construction teams and building materials arrived at the scene the day after the incident to discuss all the complicated matters related to the reconstruction with the Taoist priests in the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Due to the tense situation in various places, Level 3 or 4 Awakened individuals are disrupting order every day.

Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei did not stay on Longhu Mountain for long either. One left in the early morning of the 15th and the other left on the morning of the 16th, continuing their journeys to various cities.

The news of the destruction of the Celestial Master's Mansion gradually spread in the community, with various theories circulating. Some said it was a revenge attack by the awakened group targeted by the old Celestial Master, while others said it was a sudden attack by the previous Celestial Masters, who had made enemies with certain evil cultivators in the martial arts world, and suffered heavy losses.

Those high-ranking members of the UN Security Council who were aware of the Wang family's annihilation remained silent on the matter.

They understood that there was a reason for the situation and were willing to give the old master face. They reached a consensus early on to let him handle it himself.

........

On May 18, in YY City, a street in the Central China region.

Xu Xin followed Zhou Sheng to a herbal medicine shop with nearly 200 years of history, intending to meet with the Level 4 Awakened who was stationed there.

Hidden behind the pharmacy is a newly emerging supernatural force called 'Yinghuo', consisting of 126 people, including 2 Level 4 Awakeners, 6 Level 3 Awakeners, and 118 Level 2 and Level 1 Awakeners.

After a brief exchange, confirming that they were not members of the Security Council, the shopkeeper opened the mechanism under the counter.

"Boom!"

A hidden door behind the medicine cabinet moved slowly in response, and the shopkeeper led Xu Xin and Zhou Sheng inside, walking along the cold, narrow secret passage.

After 10 minutes, we finally arrived at a dimly lit, spacious underground plaza.

That was a base temporarily built by a Level 3 Awakened being using their abilities.

The environment appeared somewhat crowded and congested, with various boxes of supplies distributed to the public by the Security Council looted and scattered around.

Tents were set up in the areas designated by the awakened individuals, and the air was slightly murky.

The conversation was noisy, and most of the members were young men in their 20s and 30s. When the two old men arrived, they all cast curious and wary glances at them, and sneers occasionally rang out.

"These two old geezers are both in their eighties or nineties, and they still want to come and get a share of the pie?"

"Hilarious, who would want such a piece of trash?"

"Don't let me be assigned to your team."

A few awakened individuals in the crowd, their expressions frivolous, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Xu Xin and Zhou Sheng, who did not receive the G1 reagent, are the most ordinary and traditional superhumans.

New humans who awaken superpowers, regardless of age, gender, or strength, will experience a mysterious connection, similar to telepathy, as a way of confirming that the other person is also an awakener.

As two ugly, shabby-dressed old men approached, someone coldly shooed them away:

"Get lost, you old beggar, this is not a place for you."

"I want to see your leader," Zhou Sheng said calmly. "Please inform him that we need to meet outside for a chat."

"You old devil, you're so stubborn, aren't you?"

The burly man waved his hand dismissively, like shooing away a fly: "Go away, go away! You think you can... uh... pfft... you... you!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, intense pain shot through the veins of his limbs. His eyes bulged out, he coughed up black blood, and after a few struggles, he was lifeless.

This horrifying scene caused the surrounding awakened individuals to turn fierce and menacing, crowding around them.

"It's poison!!"

"Don't get too close!!" someone exclaimed.

Zhou Sheng raised his chin, his gaze piercing through the void, staring at the houses made of shipping containers in front of him with a half-smile.

He knew that the two other awakened individuals were hiding in the shadows, waiting like lords.

What's with the airs? A superhuman created through drug-induced mutations? Does he even deserve it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Sheng felt it necessary to reveal his strength, so he gave a cold laugh and gave the order:

"Brother Xu, clean it up, just keep the two bastards."

"Um......"

Xu Xin was also itching to try out new techniques and combinations.

Almost instantly upon receiving the response, the Feng Hou Qi Men formation unfolded beneath his feet, covering the entire underground plaza.

His body was surrounded by a dense array of dan shi, colorless, odorless, and formless.

Unlike the alchemical processes cultivated by his predecessors, Xu Xin's alchemical processes are more flexible and varied, including granular and nematode-like forms, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

The Dan Shi technique, controlled by successive Tang Clan leaders, would kill any target it struck.

Before it hits, it is easily affected by external interference and destroyed by the opponent's moves, such as the thunder magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion or the golden light of the Fire Virtue Sect. Any one of them will damage its toxicity if it directly collides with Dan Shi.

However, Xu Xin, who had learned the art of wind, no longer had this deficiency.

"Stop—!"

Just then, a frightened shout came from inside the container. A level 4 Awakened being who had been lying in wait suddenly felt a pang of fear. Sensing the danger, he immediately tried to stop it.

However, it was still a step too late.

With a "pop!!" sound, 102 awakened individuals within the area were detected to have their life force fluctuations detected.
