Chapter 25 - The Sorrow of Ningxing Squad

"Ants."

The eerie man standing in the ruins had his blood-red pupils contract slightly. Looking at the people fleeing in a hurry, his nostrils fluttered slightly, and he let out a disdainful cold snort.

"As ants, you should have the awareness of ants. In front of me, can you escape?"

"You are like things in the palm of my hand. I can destroy you with a flick of my wrist."

The eerie man took a step forward. It seemed slow, but he actually took a step of fifty meters. In the blink of an eye, he approached Liu Quan, the bald and muscular man who was fleeing towards the northwest. His tall and straight figure appeared behind him.

"Die!"

The eerie man suddenly stretched out his fair palm and slowly pressed it towards Liu Quan's bald head.

"No!"

Ke Bei was also fleeing towards the northwest. He wasn't far from the bald and muscular man. He slightly turned his body and saw that the eerie man's outstretched palm was about to press on top of Liu Quan's head. He let out a sudden cry of alarm, and a three-inch-long willow-leaf-shaped throwing knife suddenly appeared in his palm.

At this critical moment of life and death, he couldn't afford to hide anything anymore.

"Whoosh!"

The throwing knife glinting with a cold light pierced through the air and instantly reached a position three inches in front of the eerie man's eyes.

"Eh?"

The eerie man let out a soft exclamation. The outstretched palm suddenly retracted, and two crystal-clear fingers like jade suddenly shot out. The throwing knife shot by Ke Bei suddenly stopped.

The throwing knife was pinched between the eerie man's fingers.

This was the first time that Ke Bei's throwing knife had been intercepted head-on by someone.

Looking at the throwing knife pinched in the eerie man's hand, Ke Bei was stunned for a moment. Then he fled madly. His most powerful means, his last trump card, had been easily intercepted. Ke Bei could only run away. He had already used his last trump card and had done his best. Although he was unwilling, he could only choose to escape. Otherwise, he would be the next one to be killed.

"Interesting."

The eerie man glanced at Ke Bei and then retracted his gaze. He casually threw a punch at the back of Liu Quan, the bald and muscular man. With a puff, the fist penetrated Liu Quan's body, and a transparent hole appeared in his body.

A third-level peak strong man wearing a battle suit and armor was casually killed by the eerie man.

"Little guy, run for your life desperately. After dealing with these people, I'll have a good time with you."

A smile appeared on the eerie man's lips. He turned and took another step in another direction. After taking three consecutive steps, the eerie man's figure blocked in front of Wang Shan.

"The second one."

With a cold laugh, the eerie man stretched out a slender finger and pointed it at the center of Wang Shan's forehead.

Wang Shan only felt a chill invade his mind, and then his consciousness became blurred. His sturdy body swayed twice, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.

"Wang Shan!"

Gu Kun let out a roar. His body suddenly stopped. His eyes turned blood-red, his teeth were clenched tightly, and fine blood streaks continuously oozed out from between his teeth.

Gu Kun's body was trembling, and his fists were clenched tightly. Wang Shan had been with him for three years and was an old member of the Ningxing Squad. The image of Wang Shan's simple and honest smile flashed in Gu Kun's mind. He let out a hysterical roar. Instead of running away, he rushed towards the eerie man.

"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Gu Kun used all his strength and threw a fierce punch at the eerie man.

The fist carried the sound of breaking the air and directly smashed towards the eerie man's head.

"Ridiculous."

The eerie man calmly looked at Gu Kun's incoming punch and slowly shook his head. He stretched out his fair palm, and the punch that Gu Kun had thrown with all his strength was gently blocked by his palm.

With a crisp cracking sound, the eerie man exerted a little force with his palm, and Gu Kun's fist shattered.

"Human beings are nothing but ants at the limit of weakness. No matter how hard you try, you are just a slightly stronger kind of ant. How can you compare with us, the Divine Race?"

The eerie man lifted Gu Kun up with one hand, and then casually threw a punch. The punch landed silently on Gu Kun's head. Suddenly, Gu Kun stopped struggling, and his body slowly went limp.

"Hahaha, only we, the Divine Race, are the strongest. You humans should have been completely eliminated long ago."

A fierce cold light shot out from the eerie man's blood-red eyes, and his body turned into a bolt of lightning and floated towards another direction.

In just three breaths of time, the eerie man had killed three people. Although the remaining people had done their best to run away, how far could they run in three breaths of time?

After taking a few consecutive steps, the eerie man rushed in front of a young man. The young man was from the Free Martial Artists Alliance, specifically from the Blood Sword Alliance. The fierce battle with the zombie group just now had already consumed most of his physical strength. He had originally thought that he had escaped danger, but who would have thought that the Divine Race would suddenly appear.

The Divine Race, whose strength was comparable to that of the leader of the Blood Sword Alliance, the young man didn't have the courage to resist at all. His mind was in chaos, and he didn't even notice when the eerie man suddenly appeared beside him.

"The fourth one."

The eerie man's palm gently slapped on the young man's head. Suddenly, a cracking sound of bones was heard, and the young man's head exploded violently. The red and white brain matter flowed out.

"It tastes good."

The eerie man put the palm stained with brain matter to his mouth and sucked it gently. An extremely enjoyable expression appeared on his handsome face.

"Human beings are only fit to be food."

The eerie man seemed to have thought of something, and an uncontrollable anger suddenly welled up in his crystal-clear blood-red eyes.

"You humans all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"

"My child, my child who was only seven years old, was brutally killed by you..."

The eerie man's handsome face suddenly became ferocious.

"Die! Die!"

"All of you die!"

The eerie man's speed suddenly increased. In three breaths of time, all nine members of the Blood Sword Alliance were brutally killed. Only Ke Bei and Zhao Hai from the Ningxing Squad were still alive.

Zhao Hai had a flexible body technique and a fast speed. When the eerie man killed the other members of the Ningxing Squad, he had already run more than a thousand meters away.

"Don't run anymore. You know it's useless."

The eerie man's speed was extremely fast. He caught up in just a few breaths over a distance of more than a thousand meters.

"Alright, I won't run anymore."

Zhao Hai smiled and actually stopped. A look of surprise flashed in the eerie man's eyes.

Zhao Hai threw the scimitar in his hand to the ground and closed his eyes.

"Come on, give me a quick death."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

The eerie man looked at Zhao Hai with his eyes tightly closed and asked.

"Hehe, no one is not afraid of death. But I know that running away is useless anymore. And..."

A trace of deep-seated sorrow flashed in Zhao Hai's eyes.

"This can at least arouse your curiosity and buy a little more time for Ke Bei... All the old brothers of the Ningxing Squad are dead."

Zhao Hai let out a sigh.

"The kid is still young. He just joined the Ningxing Squad. It's a pity to die on his first mission. He has great potential. Maybe he will have a chance to avenge the Ningxing Squad in the future. The Ningxing Squad, which has been established for more than ten years, can't be destroyed like this. At least we should leave someone behind."

At this moment, Zhao Hai, who was only 1.7 meters tall, suddenly seemed much taller. He had volunteered to stay and give up the struggle just to arouse the eerie man's curiosity and buy a short escape time for Ke Bei, whom he had known for only a few days.

"Human beings need strong people. He has a great chance of becoming a truly strong person. Being able to buy this little time for him means that my death is worthwhile."

Zhao Hai smiled.

"If one day, Ke Bei can step onto the Heavenly Corpse Mountain and wipe out you beasts, remember to tell him for me that I, Zhao Hai, have also made a contribution to humanity."

Zhao Hai took out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it fiercely into his heart. The cold blade pierced through his body, and Zhao Hai smiled. He fell to the ground with a smile on his face.

"He will never have the chance, because he will definitely die today."

The eerie man took a deep look at Zhao Hai, and his body turned into a blur as he rushed towards the direction where Ke Bei was fleeing.
