From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 268 - 219 Gate of Hell

Masami Ida's gaze sharpened, immediately guessing the reason, "You are a clone!"

As he said, the one sitting here was indeed Lu Heng's clone, a fully trained Class-A Clone Skill "Shadow Clone."

This skill allowed the creation of a clone that could not use the host's skills, so its combat performance was average, but it was indistinguishable from the real body, even to a Perceiver.

To discern whether it was a clone, one basically had to burst the clone open to confirm.

The reason Lu Heng dared to drink the tea he prepared was also because it was the clone present; even if subject to a foul play, he would only lose 60 points of Source Energy.

Even though it was a clone, the senses were very clear.

Thus, Lu Heng could clearly feel the sensation of the soul capturing monsters burrowing into the body, which felt like his brain being pierced by eerie energy.

Had it been his real body attacked by soul capturing monsters, his head would probably be splitting with pain by now.

Masami Ida's expression darkened, and he said, "I originally wanted to make you my friend, but you are not sincere."

Lu Heng could not help but scoff, "Is your sincerity shown by releasing soul capturing monsters against me?"

Masami Ida showed no remorse for using underhanded tactics, replying, "The soul capturing monsters are under my control, as long as you agree to my demands, I will naturally withdraw them."

"No need to withdraw them, I will eliminate all the soul capturing monsters here," Lu Heng said in a calm tone, decisively.

"Kill him!" Masami Ida's eyes flashed with a glint of murderous intent.

White Ghost King drew his tachi like lightning and with a horizontal chop cleaved Lu Heng's shadow clone into two.

Just then,

A bird cry piercing the sky came from outside the building, followed by a surge of solar wind rushing towards the top floor of the building.

The glass walls on the top floor shattered inch by inch and melted into liquid form at the temperature of thousands of degrees.

The solar wind rushed into the building, setting all flammable objects on fire, and plants instantly withered and ignited.

Masami Ida's gaze sank, he picked up the soul altar and drew all the soul capturing monsters back into the altar, then got up and walked toward the elevator.

The solar wind swept up.

White Ghost King, the samurai, stood behind Masami Ida, raised his hand, and released a devouring skill, absorbing all the heat within a three-meter radius into his palm.

At the same time,

Iron Arm led the Bansel Clan warriors, rushing into the building, confronting the Ghost Warrior mercenaries head-on in a firefight.

A squad of Ghost Warrior mercenaries emerged from their ambush point, ready to shoot at the Bansel Clan troops.

Before this squad of Ghost Warrior mercenaries came out, Iron Arm already heard the reminder through his earpiece.

"Left front corner, a squad of enemies with long-range firepower, twelve people. Appearing in two seconds."

Hearing it was long-range firepower, Iron Arm swung his warhammer, shouting loudly as he slammed the ground, unleashing the "Shock Wave" skill.

The shockwave rolled along the ground, flipping all the marble tiles like a tsunami toward the hallway corner.

The squad of Ghost Warrior mercenaries had just rushed out from around the corner, aiming to shoot, when they were hit head-on by the shockwave, the flying tiles and the torrent of the shockwave crushed them against the wall.

The Bansel Clan warriors stepped on the shattered ground and rushed up, cutting down any still-moving Ghost Warrior mercenaries.

At the same time,

At the elevator hall on the top floor, a Void Eye opened from the void, spotting Masami Ida entering the elevator.

Lin Zeyu reminded, "Masami Ida has entered the elevator."

"Then I'll give him a rapid descent."

While speaking, Lu Heng appeared on the rooftop of the Ghost Warrior Mercenary building, walking to the front of the elevator shaft.

Lu Heng drew out the Aurora Blade and slashed open the wall of the elevator shaft with a Rift Slash, then took out a grenade and pulled out the safety pin.

Just then,

The White Ghost King, wearing a White Bohra Demon Mask, jumped onto the rooftop, raising his tachi and shouting loudly, the tone likely meant "Stop."

Lu Heng glanced sideways at him, waved his left hand, and threw the grenade down the elevator shaft.

"Damn!" White Ghost King cursed loudly, raising his tachi and rushing forward with a fierce chop.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded from the elevator shaft, flames surging up and spewing out from a gap in the wall.

Lu Heng slid backward, dodging both the explosion's flames and White Ghost King's chop.

"Why not summon the Red Bohra if he's the fiercest among the Bohras? Do you think you're stronger than the Fusang Sword Saint?" Lu Heng asked.

White Ghost King, infuriated, shouted and unleashed all his skills—Acceleration Skill, Burst Skill, weapon enhancement, Samurai Class Ability, and Ghost Warrior Class Ability—he attacked Lu Heng furiously.

Lu Heng stepped like the wind, using his movement technique to easily dodge his attacks, only raising his sword to block when the Tachi came too close.

After three or four exchanges, Lu Heng lost interest.

As White Ghost King came at him with another chop, Lu Heng executed the Step Sword Seven Styles Moon-cutting Style, a straightforward cut towards his Tachi.

Clang!

The collision of blade and sword resulted in the Tachi's blade snapping.

White Ghost King stepped back in panic, looked at the broken blade in his hand, fear flashing in his eyes. He immediately released an Evil Spirit at Lu Heng and then turned to flee, using the Ghost Shadow Hundred Transformations.

Seeing a fierce Evil Spirit rushing towards his face, Lu Heng raised his hand and released Thunderstorm Prison, obliterating the Evil Spirit with the Power of Thunder and Lightning.

By that time, White Ghost King had already fled several meters away, his figure flickering like a ghost, as if a hundred shadows were scattering in all directions, but only one was his real body.

The Ghost Shadow Hundred Transformations, a skill combining the Source Material Ability of a Ghost Warrior with movement technique, could dazzle an observer at first.

However, as the ghost shapes move further away, they will disappear, leaving only the original body visible.

Lu Heng concentrated on these shadows, searching for the real body while he began to gather power.

White Ghost King ran to the edge of the rooftop and leaped, falling towards the ground below.

On the ground, he could change direction at any time in combination with Ghost Shadow Hundred Transformations, making it difficult to identify his real body.

Once in midair, he couldn't change direction, and Lu Heng quickly locked onto his real body.

The moment he locked on, the Sound Explosion Sword struck, stabbing out horizontally through the air, slicing White Ghost King in two, blood scattering across the sky.

Lu Heng caught the White Banyan Mask midair, flipped twice, and landed.

...

Elsewhere.

The elevator shaft was shattered by a grenade, the elevator plummeted rapidly and crashed to the ground floor.

Then, the elevator doors were kicked open from the inside, and Masami Ida staggered out, facing the Bansel Clan warriors led by Iron Arm.

Masami Ida immediately opened the Soul Altar and released four Soul Capturing Monsters.

The four Soul Capturing Monsters roared and rushed at Iron Arm.

Iron Arm roared, "Bansel Will!"

He then rushed towards the Soul Capturing Monsters, blocking their Soul Stealing attacks with his strong will, and charged directly at Masami Ida.

Masami Ida turned and fled, ordering a team of Ghost Warrior Mercenaries to block the Bansel Clan warriors.

The Bansel Clan, living near the Evil God's Burial Ground for years, developed a strong resistance to Spiritual Pollution and Soul Stealing attacks.

Out of the fifteen Bansel Clan warriors, five were of the Spiritual system, employing Spiritual Skills to block the attacks of the Soul Capturing Monsters.

...

Masami Ida ran out of the Ghost Warrior Mercenary building to a newly constructed factory at the back, entered the factory, and went straight down the stairs into an underground space.

This underground space, originally a garage, was vast and had now been transformed into a sealed underground area without any cars.

Masami Ida ran up to a Bronze Gate engraved with the face of an evil spirit, reaching out to touch the gate.

At that moment,

The White Ghost King with the White Banyan Mask appeared behind him.

Masami Ida turned and seeing him, urged, "Come, help me open the Ghost Gate, I want all these Da Xia people to die here."

He was about to forcefully open the gate when,

Thud!

Masami Ida felt a chill in his back as something emerged from his chest.

Looking down, he saw the tip of a semi-transparent sword.

He turned in surprise and said, "You..."

White Ghost King removed the mask, revealing Lu Heng's face.

Lu Heng withdrew his sword, looked at the Bronze Gate, and mused, "So there is a Ghost Gate here, no wonder there are so many Ghost Warriors in Fusang."

Before his rebirth, it wasn't just the name of the Ghost Warrior Mercenary Organization from Fusang; this group of mercenaries was actually possessed by evil spirits and accessed their powers, even using these spirits in battle.

Since he hadn't obtained information about the Bronze Ghost Gate in his past life, no one knew where the Ghost Warrior Mercenary Organization got so many possessor spirits from.

Lu Heng turned and raised his long sword again, preparing to decapitate Masami Ida.

Just then,

Masami Ida suddenly burst into eerie laughter, pulling an envelope from his chest and lifting it towards Lu Heng, "You recognize this, don't you?"

Lu Heng paused, because what Masami Ida held was indeed the creator's invitation, with the number 029 prominently displayed.
