Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Chapter 212 It Seems That You've Forgotten Who I Am

Xiang Ning retreated a few steps and everyone finally saw his face.

“Holy shit! Why does he look like Xiang Ning?”

“Yeah! Wait, I think it’s really him!”

“Wasn’t he at Fortress Three?”

“Why’s he there?”

“Why’s he with the Seven Deadly Sins?”

“Don’t tell me he rebelled!”

While some may not know of the existence of the Seven Deadly Sins, most of the people watching the livestream knew Xiang Ning. It seemed that a scandal was brewing.

Due to the disaster of Tranquil City, most of the news about him had just begun dying down, but now that he had appeared once again in a livestream, his name was once again the most searched term on the internet—especially since he was appearing in front with the Seven Deadly Sins and was even wearing their robes!

Thankfully, the reaction from the criminals made it clear that he wasn’t on their side.

“Who’re you?! Did you kill Viper?!”

“And Hound! Is he dead too?!”

The two tier four martial artists were staring at Xiang Ning like angered beasts. Xiang Ning shuddered, but still defiantly smiled.

The moment Toad and Bird made a move, he immediately sent out ten flying knives and used the Shadowmist Ghost Step to follow up. “Didn’t you say that you love the setting sun? Come now, let me show you something good to complement it!”

A giant metal pole suddenly appeared in front of everyone. “I should show my full strength from time to time, or people will forget what I’ve done before!” He smiled coldly.

Toad and Bird had just deflected the knives and launched an attack toward Xiang Ning when the metal pole appeared. Sensing danger, both of them directed their attacks toward it. There was a crunch as the metal dented, but their attack didn’t even move it an inch.

Xiang Ning was impressed. To think that the metal pole was this sturdy. It would’ve been fun if I could’ve used it to whack them.

Comments exploded in the livestream. “Where’d that come from?!”

“That thing is too sturdy! Not even the attacks from the executives of the Seven Deadly Sins could destroy it!”

“Is it a secret weapon?”

“I’m more interested to know where it came from!”

“Are they going to fight?”

Back at Fortress Three, Li Kaihao exploded in rage. “You dumb motherfucker! The opponents are two tier four experts! Do you really think you’re a war god capable of fighting them?! You’re literally giving them the bioweapon!” He turned to his aide and asked, “How much longer until reinforcement arrives?”

“Sir, they’ll arrive in another twenty-five minutes!”

“Fuck!”

Back in Qiling Academy, every student was watching the livestream the moment they heard Xiang Ning had appeared again.

“Teacher! Is he fighting against tier four martial artists?”

“Yes.”

“Then why isn’t he running away?”

“Why? That’s a good question. I want you to observe him and record what he’ll be doing next. Pay attention, it’ll be on the next test.”

In the headmaster’s office.

“Lei Zhongyuan, you think Xiang Ning could win against them?”

“Probably. Still, he’s a bit too rash.”

“Hmm, I’m still worried.”

“It should be fine.”

“Are you that confidant?”

“Why not? He singlehandedly won against an entire academy.”

Back in the wilderness, Xiang Ning’s smile was frightening.

Toad and Bird were puzzled at how the metal box had appeared out of nowhere. It looked like a container, so they were wary that it could be a bomb. They were so focused on it, in fact, that they completely ignored Xiang Ning, who was only a tier three martial artist. They could easily overpower him, as they had more than ten people on their side. Still, something was amiss.…

“Quickly! Get that thing away from him!” Toad commanded, and his underlings rushed to attack Xiang Ning. But before they could even reach him, Xiang Ning had already controlled the flying knives to intercept them.

“Wait a moment, don’t be rash! Let me take something out for you guys,” Xiang Ning chuckled.

The moment he said that, Toad entered a heightened state of alert. Unfortunately, Bird was so enraged that he shouted like a madman for his underling to attack regardless. What happened next shook everyone to their core. “What the fuck!”

A mercury-like liquid spread across Xiang Ning’s body and enveloped him. It was his personal armor, Heaven’s Key Armor. Then, with a quick command, the metal box opened up and rays of white light shot out. 

The members of the Seven Deadly Sins all took a step back, thinking that it was going to explode. But when the light died down, they were all speechless. A barbaric weapon had appeared right in front of them.

It was a massive sword 1.7 meters in length with a blade that was ten centimeters wide. However, what caught their attention the most was the weird device between the hilt and the blade. It was round and red and had tendrils snaking across the weapon, occasionally pulsing as if it had a heartbeat. The entire weapon gave off an ominous pressure as if they were facing a real beast.

Viewers in chat exploded once more as the sword was revealed.

“What kind of weapon is that?!”

“That looks so cool!”

“Can he use such a big weapon?”

“Anyone know what kind of weapon he is using?”

“If I’m not mistaken, he’s using a bioweapon! As its name implies, it was forged using a beast core and precious metal. It’s a weapon capable of growing in strength by using it to kill and consume the blood of beasts! This is a very rare weapon!”

“No wonder he went and stole the beast core!”

“Hey! He did not steal it! It was part of the drill!”

“But he’s still too weak! Against two tier four martial artists, isn’t he just giving the weapon away for free?”

“Yeah! Don’t tell me he’s a spy?!”

The chat room was in turmoil as comments and arguments exploded. Regardless, the news of Xiang Ning entering the lab was no longer a rumor. Whether it was truly a drill or not was left to the discretion of the viewers.

As for Toad and Bird, their eyes glinted with greed when they saw Xiang Ning take out the weapon.

“What a lovely surprise.”

“To think that you’d come all the way here to give us a bioweapon. The people living in the safe zones really are generous.”

“Hand over the weapon and we’ll let you go.”

They gradually circled and surrounded Xiang Ning. Instead of panicking, he merely smiled coldly. “Come and take it from me if you can.”

He spent some Fury Points and increased his Mental Power to 400 points.
