Chapter 224 - 144: Brutal Removal! Maximum Shock and Awe! Absolute Domination

Chapter 224: Chapter 144: Brutal Removal! Maximum Shock and Awe! Absolute Domination

The plan had been discussed and settled long before they made their move.

Once the Bloodthirsty Vine Parasites were exposed, Transcendents like Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and Qi Zhen would immediately join the battle to slay them.

Only Transcendents could guarantee a flawless outcome when dealing with such bizarre creatures.

Although the Bloodthirsty Vine within the Parasites wasn’t as terrifying as the one in the Underground Cave, it was still an Extraordinary Creature—even if it was just a fragment.

Zhang Meng and the others could barely hold their own with their superior numbers and weapons, but they were ordinary people. If they were infected, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Rather than taking such a huge risk, it was better for them to guard the passages, watch over the students, and prevent more casualties from erupting amidst the chaos...

Though there were many Parasites in the school, Chen Chong and his group could handle them. There was no need for ordinary people to get involved.

Whether they revealed themselves or not, they could not escape their fate of being purged.

During the speech, every last Parasite had already been pinpointed.

Xu Jun used ’Scent Tracking’ to lock onto the aura of the Bloodthirsty Vine and determine their general locations.

Meanwhile, Chen Chong used his Identification Skill to precisely screen smaller areas, conserving as much physical and Spiritual Power as possible.

With the two of them working together, none of the Parasites among the thousand-plus students in the plaza could hide.

After a headcount, the total number of Parasites was no less than a hundred!

This was why Xu Jun’s expression had turned so grim earlier, exclaiming that the situation was even worse than imagined...

Among them, at least fifty had been completely parasitized, turned into mindless puppets of the Bloodthirsty Vine.

Before the operation began, up on the high platform, Chen Chong had already relayed the position of every single Parasite to Wang Biao, Qi Zhen, and Ning Yu.

As Transcendents, not only were their physical attributes and strength greatly enhanced, but their memories were also far superior to that of ordinary people.

Despite the large number of Parasites scattered across different locations, everyone memorized their positions after Chen Chong stated them just once. Even in the heat of battle, amidst the chaos, there was no chance of killing the wrong person.

The purge of the Bloodthirsty Vine was underway...

...

As if they knew Chen Chong was the leader of the group, three Parasites lashed out with their whip-like vines, clearing a path through the crowd. Covered in sharp barbs, they charged straight toward him in a killing strike.

Faced with dozens of vines assailing him from three different directions at tricky angles, Chen Chong activated his Rock Transformation.

As his skin turned a stony gray, the vines didn’t tear his flesh open as expected. Instead, they struck him as if hitting solid rock, and the impact sent them recoiling.

SCREEECH—

The Blood Eye Blade scraped against the ground with a piercing screech, sending sparks flying!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Chong propelled himself forward with the power in his legs, arriving with his blade in tow.

The blade flashed. A Parasite’s head was cleaved straight open, and the Vine Core within shattered on the spot.

Having lost its core, the Parasite collapsed to the ground like a puppet with all its strings cut.

The once-menacing vines instantly lost their luster, withering and decaying...

But in that brief moment, the two remaining Parasites attacked again, their vines striking at Chen Chong’s back once more.

Just as the onlookers, certain Chen Chong couldn’t block this blow, squeezed their eyes shut in fear...

Qi Zhen, bare-chested and radiating a faint golden light, suddenly appeared. He grabbed one Parasite with a single hand, then used his pure physical strength to leap forward, brutally smashing it into the other.

BOOM!!!

Despite it being a collision of flesh and blood, he had somehow slammed them together with the force of an explosion.

The two Parasites’ heads were instantly obliterated into a bloody mist, not even bone fragments remaining—and naturally, the Vine Cores within them were destroyed as well.

"Sir, are you all right?"

Chen Chong’s lip twitched as he glanced at the spiderweb-like cracks on the ground.

’Qi Zhen might not have any flashy abilities, but I’ve got to admit, his physical strength is terrifying. He’s no different from a human-shaped beast.’

"I’m fine."

"Good. Then I’ll get back to the killing..."

With that, he charged off toward another area...

Qi Zhen was usually a man of few words, but his fighting style was a stark contrast—so brutal that even the most hardened person would call it gory.

As a pure Body Cultivator, his moves were wide and sweeping, with almost no technique to speak of. It was the epitome of brute force.

Bathed in a golden glow, his iron-hard body repelled the vines. Like an untethered beast, he plunged straight into the crowd.

Seeing a Parasite about to pounce on a dozen petrified students, he didn’t hesitate. He shot forward with a powerful leap to close the distance and then threw a punch.

A terrifying power erupted instantly!

The Parasite’s head and half its torso were instantly blasted into a fine mist of blood.

A foul stench, mixed with fragments of vine, splattered across the ground.

Everyone nearby was stunned, staring at him as if he weren’t human...

In truth, this was Qi Zhen holding back. He was, after all, an A-Level Transcendent, on par with a Blood-tooth Python in terms of power.

These Bloodthirsty Vine fragments, at most B-Level or even C-Class, were not in the same league as him.

If he didn’t have to be mindful of so many ordinary people present, he could have unleashed his full physical power and swept through all the Parasites in a very short amount of time.

But as it was, he had to control his strength, hunting them down one by one and obliterating them with a single punch...

In contrast, Wang Biao’s attacks were calm and precise.

He didn’t charge into the crowd. Instead, he leaped onto the high platform, holding his Bipolar Bow with three arrows nocked on the string at once.

The bowstring hummed, and the arrows shot out like meteors.

PFFT—

The arrows unerringly pierced the skulls of three Parasites who were attacking nearby students.

The Vine Cores shattered.

The three Parasites died on the spot, unable to even scream.
