In an overclocked state, Yu Xian's efficiency was terrifyingly high.
Following the clues through Wei Ximin's interpersonal connections, he pinpointed other members of the Namo race at breakneck speed.
Then, these Namo members were teleported to Extreme Dragon's territory by his spatial bubbles, plunging down from the sky like dumplings dropped into boiling water.
From their two previous encounters, it was clear that Extreme Dragon possessed an alarmingly ferocious sense of territory; any creature invading its domain would face its wrath.
These Namo members were naturally no exception.
When Extreme Dragon emerged from the lake waters, all the Namo members shrieked and scrambled to flee. The gem on Extreme Dragon's forehead radiated a brilliant blue light, sweeping across every single Namo member, causing them to disintegrate into ash amidst agonizing shrieks.
Yet this was far from over. No sooner had Extreme Dragon eliminated dozens of Namo members than more fell from the heavens. Its eyes gradually shifted from blue to red, and faint streaks of crimson flickered across its azure scales.
Boom!
Centered on Extreme Dragon, terrifying dual-colored red and blue lightning shot straight into the sky. Before those Namo members could even hit the lake, they were shattered to pieces, leaving no trace behind.
In a mere five minutes, over a hundred Namo members were wiped out.
Even the slowest of the remaining Namo members realized by now that they had been exposed.
However, they immediately chose the most vicious course of action: mobilizing their network of contacts within human society, seeking to use humans to track down the culprit attacking their kin and have humanity eliminate him.
These Namo had fled from Mars and lurked within human society for more than five hundred years. Had humanity not possessed technology to detect whether an individual was possessed, they would have infiltrated the highest echelons long ago.
Although they had failed to infiltrate the highest leadership, the network they had woven over hundreds of years could nonetheless influence many top officials.
Phone calls poured into Yanjing one after another.
This pressure was quickly transferred through numerous high-ranking officials to Qilin, since Qilin was specifically responsible for overseeing the nation's transcendent forces.
In truth, the case was not difficult to investigate. After Wei Ximin went missing, his assistant, Xiao Juan, immediately reported it to the police.
With surveillance footage available to review, the Wickedness-Cleaving Squad dispatched by Qilin soon deduced that the perpetrator must possess a spatial ability. Spatial ability users within the country were few and far between; after a brief screening, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye already had a good idea of who it was.
Soon, an investigative report landed before Yu Lie. After reading through the report, Yu Lie picked up the phone and dialed Yu Xian's number.
Yu Xian's phone, located far away in one of his spatial bubbles on Mars, instantly began to ring. With a thought, the phone materialized in his hand, and he answered the call.
On the other end of the line, Yu Lie spoke up. "Little Yu, did you do this?"
"It was me!" Yu Xian replied.
Yu Lie fell silent for a moment before his voice hardened with resolve. "Good. Then do what needs to be done. I'll take the heat from the top for you. Just remember to write a stellar report when you're done and explain the whole situation clearly!"
Even though he had suppressed superfluous emotions and hormone secretions, Yu Xian's heart gave a sudden tremor at that moment.
"Yes, Minister!"
Taking a deep breath, Yu Xian answered at once.
After hanging up, he glanced at the Heaven-Weeping Blood Sword. Countless black threads were wrapped around the blade, constantly supplying it with blood.
After the Heaven-Weeping Blood Sword drank the blood, his physical constitution was enhanced even further. His brain continually added processing threads, controlling more eyeball bubbles to search for members of the Namo race.
He knew full well that Yu Lie had to be under tremendous pressure. Qilin was not the country's only official transcendent organization; there were also Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. If higher-ups were driven apart by the Namo race's schemes and came to believe Yu Lie was untrustworthy—or even began suspecting Qilin—those four transcendent organizations might very well intervene.
When that time came, the pressure the minister had to bear would only escalate.
Therefore, Yu Xian had to race against the clock and eliminate the Namo race as fast as possible.
...
...
Tower City.
A group of people controlled by the Namo race had gathered together.
One of the women asked, "How is it? Any results? Has the culprit been found?"
"The killer has a spatial ability. If it's a newly awakened Transcendent, it might not be easy to track down. We can't rely entirely on humans; what matters most is relying on ourselves!" A man dressed like a martial artist clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
He was exceptionally confident in his own strength. A spatial ability user was nothing to fear; even if teleported to various perilous places, he was confident he could survive.
Even if this physical body was lost, he was an elite among the Namo race and still possessed the power to fight.
"Thor, what do you think?" a potbellied man asked his companion beside him.
Receiving no reply, he instinctively turned to look, only to find the spot next to him completely empty. He said in surprise, "Where's Thor?"
As he spoke, he looked toward the others, his eyes widening.
Everyone present was vanishing at breakneck speed. Panic barely registered on someone's face before they disappeared the very next second.
"No!"
The fat man screamed in terror.
The next moment, his body passed through a bubble, and a giant red dragon appeared before his eyes.
The colossal dragon exuded an astonishing aura, surrounded by numerous golden halos. Before he could even turn to flee, a terrifying white beam cannon erupted from one of the golden halos.
"Aaaaaaaagh!!!"
The fat man's skin festered instantly, followed by the melting of his flesh and the shattering of his bones.
When his spiritual body was exposed beneath the beam cannon, it could not hold its form for even an instant, wiped out like ink erased by white correction fluid, completely dissolving into nothingness.
Rumble!
The white beam cannon pierced all the way through to the distant mountain range, only fading after obliterating the mountains.
Extreme Dragon hovered above the lake, its entire body radiating a crimson glow. The gem on its forehead had shifted from blue to red, blazing with roaring flames within.
Evidently, it was enraged to the absolute extreme. Any trespasser appearing before it would be ruthlessly erased.
Moreover, it was searching for the culprit responsible for teleporting this garbage here. If it pinpointed Yu Xian's location, it would without hesitation blast him out of existence with a single shot.
The issue was that Yu Xian's spatial bubbles were peculiar. Unless one entered inside a spatial bubble, one could not trace Yu Xian's coordinates through spatial fluctuations alone. But stepping inside a spatial bubble was tantamount to placing oneself at Yu Xian's mercy.
Yu Xian might not be able to defeat Extreme Dragon, but if Extreme Dragon truly dared to enter a spatial bubble, he would dare to banish it straight to the zombie world, leaving it unable to ever find its way home.
Just then, Yu Xian teleported another batch of Namo-controlled puppets over to Extreme Dragon. At the same time, an eyeball locked onto a person. Yu Xian's eyes widened slightly as he stared at the person in the image in disbelief.
How could this be!
How could this person possibly be a puppet?!
Yu Xian stared at the person he had watched grow up, never imagining they could be a puppet of the Namo race!
