Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"And your names will live on forever with the honor of the school's history, and will be engraved on the 38 jade pillars with coiled dragons in the pool in the school square, to be revered by thousands of teachers and students."

"We cordially invite you all to attend, and please bring your disciples, descendants, or family members to witness this together!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was moved, and their faces lit up with joy.

After months of hard work and risking their lives on the front lines, their efforts have finally paid off.

As traditional extraordinary individuals, most of them never dared to hope to be remembered in history.

Their achievements in quelling the unrest and maintaining order are enough to leave a significant mark on their otherwise unremarkable lives and in the family genealogy.

How could I not be excited!

Many renowned figures in the martial arts world, especially Lü Ci in the crowd, were already beaming with joy, their eyes narrowed into slits, feeling extremely pleased with themselves.

"Finally, thank you all for your hard work these past three months!"

"It is a great honor to work with you!"

Wei Yuanming bowed deeply to the camera, offering his sincerest gratitude to each of his colleagues present, and was met with equally enthusiastic applause, like a tidal wave.

The meeting ended amidst cheers. Afterwards, Lu Jin approached Su Nianlin privately and explained his purpose.

"Are there any substitute puppets controlled by Lin Yingya?"

"Let me make an attempt; perhaps I can find a solution."

"Hey! Mr. Lu, thank you for your concern. Please wait a moment, I'll make the arrangements right away."

Su Nianlin was astonished and secretly admired him: This old man is truly a model worker!

He always gives people a sense of security and trustworthiness, as if even if the sky were to fall, he would be there to hold it up.

This was something Su Nianlin clearly sensed, but Lu Jin himself had never noticed.

Over seventy years of exposure and influence, Lu Jin's personality and way of doing things have become increasingly similar to his most admired mentor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the two were cut from the same mold.

Steady, decisive, quick-witted, and calm.

Before he knew it, looking back, Lu Jin had become the disciple in the sect who most resembled Jiang Mo.

moment.

Led by Su Nianlin, Lu Jin arrived at the headquarters' treatment center.

The person in charge of receiving them was the awakened one who used the 'Time Amber' to seal more than 30 substitute hostages. His name was Li Qingyu, a gentle and refined man in his thirties. Before awakening his superpower, he was a master of physics from a famous university in China.

Upon meeting, Li Qingyu greeted Lu Jin with excitement, her words filled with unadorned respect and admiration. Lu Jin nodded gently.

The three of them didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to the closed sanatorium.

A few minutes later, what appeared before Lu Jin's eyes was a huge, grayish-white bubble that covered the entire super-large room, engulfing more than 700 hostages and suspending them in mid-air, freezing their lives and consciousness.

With a "pop!" sound, Li Qingyu activated her ability and dragged a sleeping strong man out.

After leaving the Time Amber, he resumed normal breathing, his face was rosy, without the slightest trace of paleness, as if he were still fast asleep.

Freezing life in a permanent sense, pausing aging, has no negative effect on consciousness. Derailing from the real world and then reconnecting to it will not cause the feeling of exhaustion due to the imbalance between the soul and the body.

This is one of the advanced applications of Li Qingyu's ability 'Regional Particle Acceleration', which slows down the changes in matter and the vibration of all particles within a fixed range to a state that is infinitely close to zero consumption, thereby creating a special kind of Time Amber that is isolated from the real world. It has miraculous effects when used to fight enemies or rescue the wounded.

"..."

The burly man lay on the hospital bed, and Lu Jin reached out with her right hand to check his warm pulse for any abnormalities.

Immediately, the true technique was activated, and the blazing silver light swirled around Lu Jin's fingertips, continuously falling down. Under the astonished gazes of Su Nianlin and Li Qingyu, it completely transformed the strong man's body into a ball of silvery-white energy.

His soul also became countless leaping points of light, clearly visible as being stuck together by a sinister purple energy, splitting into dense threads, like a spider web, linking the soul essence of the prey.

Moreover, the primordial energy that Lu Jin held in his left hand also bore a special mark forged from purple energy.

"Wow——!"

Under the refinement of the true method, countless soul lights and innate Qi were forcibly stripped away. Those mysterious purple energies, stimulated, revive and wriggle like living things, attempting to parasitize again, but failed.

About two minutes later, Lu Jin reshaped the burly man into human form and captured a ball of Lin Yingya's energy in his palm.

He instantly refined the 'One Qi of the Human World' and generated a vague sense in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), locking onto the Shikoku Island in the East, more than two thousand kilometers away.

"I'm leaving for a while."

"Xiao Li, continue to maintain your amber seal."

Lu Jin acted swiftly and decisively, giving a brief instruction before his figure transformed into countless particles of light, disappearing from the ward in an instant.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I understand."

Li Qingyu was deeply shocked, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

"Absolutely...absolutely amazing..."

At this moment, he realized just how vast the gap in strength was between himself, a Level 4 Awakened, and that Senior Lu.

On the vast Pacific Ocean, the sea breeze howled, and dark clouds stretched for miles, as if extreme weather was about to arrive.

The blazing white light converged again on its way to North Corleone Island, at the closest point to the island nation in the East.

Lu Jin turned on the microcomputer, confirmed the exact location, and then transformed into a silver ray that tore through the sky, disappearing in an instant at the junction of water and sky.

As the location sensed by the Qi became clearer, Lu Jin arrived at Lin Yingya's hiding place within half an hour. It was a suburban manor where nearly a hundred Awakened Ones gathered.

"boom!"

A silver light descended from the sky, causing the earth to tremble. Everyone felt a sharp pain all over their bodies, their limbs were stiff, and their skin and flesh felt as if they had been pierced by sharp, hard ice blades.

They looked up in horror, their faces turning ashen. The man walking towards them, dressed in white with white hair, was none other than Lu Jin, the infamous killer from their homeland!

"Kaka!!"

The air crackled as Lu Jin descended in his true form, the Frost Domain, giving his minions no chance to react. A torrent of icy breath, like a waterfall, instantly froze the entire manor.

"Bang!!"

A disheveled figure rushed out, stirring up a violent gust of air. The woman looked terrified. When she saw that it was Lu Jin, she shuddered and ran away without even turning her head.

Lu Jin, who has a record of hunting down more than a dozen Level 4 Awakened, is someone she cannot contend with.

"?"

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was even faster than fast, catching up in an instant. A barrier appeared around them, sealing off an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius.

"Boom!"

The barrier was rapidly contracting inward at a speed of 100 meters per second, and the barrier walls were getting thicker and thicker.

Lin Yingya had nowhere to hide. Her face was fierce, and she fought like a trapped beast, desperately attacking the barrier, creating violent ripples, but to no avail.

"call out--!"

Lu Jin transformed into Qi and vanished instantly under Lin Yingya's uneasy gaze.

"you!!?"

A voice filled with shock and anger suddenly rang out.

Lu Jin appeared before her without her noticing. The true qi overflowing from his left hand permeated her body, flowing through her limbs, bones, flesh, and veins, exerting control and seizing control of her physical body.

Just as she revealed a weakness and prepared to fight to the death, Lu Jin once again shattered Lin Yingya's delusions. He raised his hand like lightning, and a supernatural lock responded with a sound.

"Kacha!"

The moment the capture was completed, Lin Yingya's face turned deathly pale. Her supernatural abilities were sealed like a stagnant pool, completely unresponsive, and her connection with the substitute hostage was suddenly severed.

"boom!"

Before she could react, Lu Jin had already slammed his elbow down like an axe, causing her to have a splitting headache, cough up blood, and suffer severe facial bone collapse and shattering, emitting a shrill scream.

Lin Yingya was completely stunned. A long-lost fear welled up in her heart, and her will to survive followed. She struggled incoherently.

"stop...."

"No...don't kill me..."

Lu Jin would not show mercy to this evil cultivator who had killed more than a hundred people.

After the first blow, it wasn't over yet. He grabbed Lin Yingya by the collar and pulled her down sharply, causing her body to lean forward uncontrollably.

"boom!!"

Lu Jin delivered a powerful knee strike, his anger palpable even though he restrained his strength.

Lin Yingya's ribs were as brittle as porcelain, and six or seven of them broke in an instant. Her flesh was dented and deformed, and her internal organs were shattered. The pleading words that were on the tip of her tongue were not even given a chance to be uttered.

"Pfft!!"

Her eyes rolled back, her body went limp, and only a faint breath remained between her mouth and nose; she had fainted from her severe injuries.

After the emergence of the Superpower Lock, these Level 4 Awakeners who suddenly gained enormous power had combat experience that was incomparable to that of the Supreme Grandmasters who had been tempered on the brink of life and death time and time again.

If you are unlucky enough to fall victim to this, you become a lamb to the slaughter, with no chance of turning the tables.

Lu Jin turned and gazed at the manor several hundred meters away, then snapped his fingers, causing the chilling aura to shatter.

"Boom!"

A sound like gunpowder exploding simultaneously rang out, and nearly a hundred ice sculptures shattered into pieces on the ground.

Chapter 367 Everything Lost Must Be Taken Back!

When Lu Jin returned to the Security Council, Su Nianlin and Li Qingyu saw him carrying a woman with a bruised and swollen face, almost disfigured. Her wrists were bound by a supernatural lock, and she was barely hanging on. She had been beaten badly.

Upon closer inspection, their eyes widened in disbelief, and the same thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

"Elder Lu, this...this is Lin Yingya?!"

Su Nianlin was eager to know the answer.

He leaned closer to examine the prisoner and could vaguely make out that the outline of the prisoner was seven or eight parts similar to that of the aloof Level 4 Awakener on the wanted poster.

"Correct."

“She had previously been hiding on Shikoku Island in the East, and had gathered a group of helpers, so I decided to take care of her as well.”

Lu Jin briefly described the capture process, then casually threw Lin Yingya on the ground like trash, leaving the ground stained with blood.

Su Nianlin and Li Qingming were utterly shocked as they stared at the woman who looked like a defeated dog. A chill ran down their spines; perhaps Old Master Lu's methods were even more outrageous than they had imagined.

In just one hour, they had beaten one of the most threatening enemies on the Security Council to near death. Truly worthy of being the grand-nephew of Chen Qingxuan, in terms of sheer domineering power, the two are almost on par.

Lin Yingya's life was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Lu Jin looked at Li Qingyu, who was still standing there in a daze, and said in a gentle voice:

"Xiao Li, seal her up."

"Nianlin, go and inform Lü Ci. He's in charge of interrogation. No matter what methods you use, get this person done within three days."

"If there is really no other way, Xiao Li will seal her permanently. As long as she does not wake up, the safety of those hostages will not be compromised."

"Yes! Don't worry, I'll go right away."

Su Nianlin immediately contacted Lü Ci. When that old mad dog heard the news, he flew over from his jurisdiction without stopping.

The next day.

Under the supervision of several high-ranking members of the Security Council, Lü Ci tortured Lin Yingya and repeatedly used his red hand to repair her injuries, making the process extremely long and painful.

A piercing wail echoed through the prison cell; Lin Yingya had been tortured beyond recognition.

Her body, that of a Level 4 Awakened, was harder than diamond. In theory, ordinary weapons would not be able to hurt her at all. However, the torture instrument provided by the Nine Departments was a scalpel with particle light, which easily cut through her skin.

Then, Lü Ci used ruthless methods again, amplifying her pain receptors several times over, and used his family's traditional slow slicing technique to treat this distinguished guest. Her spirit could not withstand the torture and she broke down. Finally, after 9 hours, she agreed to give in.

When she was willing to return the hostages who had been sent to take her place to their freedom, Lü Ci was unwilling.

He was cautious and cunning, and it wasn't hard to see a clue. Beneath her pleading eyes lay a surging hatred, a resentment that wished everyone would die with her.

This familiar feeling was something he hadn't experienced in over 70 years. The shadow cast by Duanmu Ying had haunted him for the rest of his life.

In any case, Lü Ci will not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, the prisoners have not yet revealed the exact number of puppets.

If she were given even a moment of freedom, or even just 5% of her abilities were unlocked, the Security Council would lose the initiative, and the lives of the unknown number of hostages would be entirely in her hands.

So the torture continued. Lü Ci ignored her pleas, anger, and curses, and silently moved his knife, like a butcher carving up an ox, removing every inch of her flesh and bone. To ensure her survival, he then repaired her.
