Chapter 25 A Glimmer of Hope!
Lu Nian couldn't let Lu Zhenghe die, because their lineage would only consist of the two brothers.
Moreover, after this incident, Lu Nian is certain to die, but Lu Zhenghe must not be harmed.
However, Lu Nian still had to act as if he didn't care whether Lu Zhenghe lived or died, making the trainees hesitant to act against him.
If he had no other choice, he would have to let Lu Zhenghe die.
If this magnificent undertaking is completed, Lu Nian will be the one who changes the world order.
At that time, all the sacrifices will have been worthwhile!
"What kind of dog are you! Listen to me, I am Liao Feng, son of the Imperial Capital Magic Association. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I will wipe out your entire family!" Liao Mingxuan shouted hysterically at Lu Nian.
"Oh?" Lu Nian raised an eyebrow, and a brown light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
A short while later, Liao Mingxuan, who was still shouting wildly, suddenly stopped.
He couldn't make a sound, his body began to stiffen, and he couldn't even move a finger.
His body was gradually covered by a layer of grayish-white substance, slowly transforming into a lifelike sculpture.
"Then I absolutely cannot let you stay!"
Lu Nian immediately used Rock Demon's Eye on Liao Mingxuan, sending him to see his great-grandmother.
"Speak, what do you want?" Lu Nian then looked at Yang Guang and Mo Fan.
"What do you want? We have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill us!" Mu Nujiao asked angrily, her whole body trembling slightly.
"You're Mu Zhanxing's granddaughter, aren't you? You've got some guts... But if I told you your grandfather agreed to this, I wonder what you'd think, hahaha..." Lu Nian laughed heartily.
Lu Nian was not in a hurry. His subordinates had already surrounded the group of students, and they were all elite soldiers in the army. Dealing with these students would be a piece of cake.
Moreover, these students all have extraordinary backgrounds. Yang Guang, Mo Fan, and Lu Zhenghe were spared, while the others were all killed to prevent their backers from questioning them.
Since they're all dead and there's no way to verify anything, what the hell is the point of questioning them?
Moreover, there are commander-level demons here.
When I arrived with my team, only the three of them were still alive.
"How about this, one life for one life. You two can choose who you want to live." Lu Nian showed no sincerity in negotiating and clearly assumed that he had the upper hand.
Mo Fan frowned; this guy's temper was really hard to predict.
Most importantly, he couldn't understand why this guy wanted to kill them. Had he stumbled upon some of their unspeakable secrets?
"ah!!!"
Suddenly, a scream sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Yang Guang plunged the dagger deep into Lu Zhenghe's thigh and twisted it several times.
Lu Zhenghe was bound by Yang Guang's ice lock and could not struggle much, so he could only endure it.
"If I'm asking you a question, you son of a bitch, just answer honestly. Don't act like you've got us figured out!" Yang Guang said.
The other trainees dared not breathe, fearing that Lu Nian would disregard Lu Zhenghe's safety and massacre them.
Magical tools and artifacts can only be recharged after one or two more uses, and they cannot be replenished at present.
Lu Nian's face immediately darkened, and he took a drag of his cigarette.
"Two for four!" Lu Nian said in a low voice, "This is my final condition for you!"
Yang Guang thought to himself, "What a load of crap, pretending all along!"
Pulling a dagger from Lu Zhenghe's thigh, Yang Guang swiftly severed his arm at the joint.
"Aaaaaah!!!" The pain from the severed arm made Lu Zhenghe's head spin, and his wails grew louder and louder.
Lu Nian's breathing became even heavier.
"Speak quickly, or I'm not sure if my next cut will sever Lu Zhenghe's little JJ!"
Yang Guang held the dagger and gestured at Lu Zhenghe's groin, seemingly looking for the right angle to make a cut.
"Very well! Very well!" Lu Nian sneered, "Since you want to die knowing the truth, then I'm not afraid to tell you!"
"We are conducting an experiment that has the potential to change the current self-deceptive situation that humanity is in!" Lu Nian said, his face already showing a strange fervor.
"Go on," Yang Guang gestured for him to continue.
"If the experiment succeeds, it will benefit all of humanity!"
"So?" Mo Fan asked.
"So this experiment is related to the new department!"
Lu Nian didn't think it was a major secret, and since these students would soon perish here, he told them.
"A new department?!"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"But what does this new system have to do with us? How are you any different from those beasts in the Black Vatican? You talk about benefiting all mankind, but it's all bullshit!" Peng Liang mustered his courage and cursed.
"Hmph! What do you students living in an ivory tower know? Those magic teachers... so-called war? It's just that the demons are hungry and the human population has increased!" Lu Nian sneered.
When he said these words, his face was filled with righteous indignation and seriousness.
However, to the trainees, his long-winded speech was like a cultist brainwashing the ignorant masses.
Lu Nian grinned maliciously as he watched the group of students remain silent and terrified; he seemed to be enjoying it.
After all, his originally beautiful worldview was gradually destroyed in the war between humans and demons, and now using it to destroy this group of students is simply too satisfying!
"What does this so-called new department have to do with us?" Song Xia asked, snapping out of her daze.
"Of course it has nothing to do with you," Lu Nian snorted, then continued, "It's related to them!"
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yang Guang and Mo Fan.
"What does this have to do with us?" Mo Fan was taken aback.
"Because you two are born with dual systems, you are the best test subjects for the new system!" Lu Nian pointed at the two of them with great enthusiasm.
"I'm afraid there are quite a few important figures involved in this experiment, otherwise you wouldn't be so persistent," Yang Guang said.
Lu Nian raised an eyebrow. "Say what you want, but you can't escape this experiment!"
Now that things have come to this, there's no going back.
Even though all magic associations have strictly prohibited this experiment, they will not give up.
We are now only one step away from success, and we must not give up no matter what!
"Ice Crystal Bracers!"
Just then, a chilling aura emanated from Mu Ningxue, who had been silently hiding behind everyone.
In her hand she held a magic bow powerful enough to turn the entire world into a blanket of white snow!
In an instant, snowflakes danced, ice spread, the earth froze, and even the low-lying clouds turned to ice!
Mu Ningxue felt all the magical energy in her body being drained, and even her life was being drained by this bow.
Their hope of survival now rests on this demonic bow that has tormented them day and night; they must survive no matter what!
That glimmer of hope depends on this one arrow!
