Chapter 112: The Deal
Plop.
A piece of skin, still attached to some hair, fell in front of the burly man. He bent down, trembling, and picked it up. His heart was full of fear.
Even though psionic powers were rapidly evolving and people were advancing to higher levels every day, a Level 4 Superhuman, whose physical condition was far superior to that of an ordinary person, had just been blown apart like that?
The burly man had worked with the woman many times. From battlefields to forests, and then to bedrooms, bathrooms, and toilets, he knew the strength of her body like the back of his hand.
He even knew what her talent was. That was precisely why he was even more terrified now. The negative energy contained within this black mist was so fearsome that even she could not control it.
The burly man took a deep breath, ignoring the stench of blood in his nostrils, and immediately pulled out a satellite phone.
"Hello, headquarters? This is Old Wang. Yes, Xiaomei is dead. She died right in front of me, exploded into... many pieces. She died from absorbing too much negative energy. There\'s a huge black..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a figure burst out of the black mist. The figure was nearly three meters tall, burly and strong, like a steel tower. Especially notable were his incredibly muscular and powerfully aesthetic thighs—legs the burly man had always dreamed of having.The burly man\'s pupils suddenly shrank. Because he saw the other man throw a punch. The fist moved fast. He didn\'t even have time to react.
Boom!
The sack-sized fist instantly shattered the air, bringing a foul-smelling gale, and struck the burly man\'s face.
Crack.
The human skull, typically the hardest part of the body, was smashed by that single punch.
The satellite phone in his hand was also shattered into countless electronic components.
"Hmph..."
Hu lifted the headless body of the man with one hand and walked back into the array. After a moment, it arrived at the center of the array and stood respectfully beside Chu Xuan.
"Feel free to eat if you want, no need to ask me," Chu Xuan said casually.
"Ho ho!" Hu excitedly roared and pounced on the burly man\'s body, greedily devouring it.

At this moment, a skinny young boy lay prostrate in front of Chu Xuan. Hu\'s chewing did not faze him in the slightest.
Chu Xuan looked down at the boy from his elevated position.
He had been practicing within the Array just moments before. Suddenly, the young boy had barged in. He had observed the actions of the man and woman who followed. What surprised him was that the young boy had managed to resist the erosion of the Yin Evil and come to him. Using the array, this person had killed his pursuers, bringing unnecessary trouble upon himself.
To Chu Xuan, this was akin to stirring up trouble and exploiting him. Originally, he had planned to casually kill this person, but the words spoken by the other party had piqued his interest. Whether to kill or not was merely a thought in his mind. So, he decided to hear out the young boy before making a decision.
Chu Xuan said calmly, "Repeat what you just said."
He Shengliang said earnestly, "I know where Psionic originated."
"Continue," Chu Xuan prompted.
He Shengliang continued seriously, "Ten years ago, in a deep mine shaft, the Science City discovered shattered ancient artifacts emitting powerful Psionic energy. Those who first encountered these ancient artifacts, some turned into zombies, while others became Superhumans. The Psionic that swept across Han Country originated from an underground base storing these ancient artifacts, spreading in all directions.
Science City believes that these ancient artifacts are the origin of Psionic. The reason Science City has a large number of Superhumans is also thanks to these ancient artifacts. With time, given enough time, they might even create powerful Superhumans comparable to immortals."
After saying this, He Shengliang looked straight at Chu Xuan, his gaze intense.
"Immortal, I know where those ancient artifacts are hidden, and I can lead you to find them. I am a Brain Enhancer, and I suspect you may have soul-searching spells, so I have already locked my brain. If you attempt to soul-search directly, I will die immediately."
He Shengliang continued, "I know you dislike being manipulated. I only wish to rescue my companion from there. If successful, I will take my own life. I just ask for one chance, Immortal."
Chu Xuan looked at the young boy, a smile playing on his lips.
Interesting.
Before barging into the formation, this young boy had planned everything meticulously. He even anticipated that Chu Xuan would start killing after finding the ancient artifacts. Dealing with smart people saved a lot of effort.
"I agree," Chu Xuan said calmly. He was only interested in the ancient artifact emitting strong Psionic energy. As for this young boy, even if he succeeded and then betrayed and tried to escape, Chu Xuan could easily kill him. The only difference would be in the timing of his death.
"Thank you, Immortal!" He Shengliang bowed deeply to Chu Xuan. "The location of the underground base is in the capital of Youyan Province, Yanjing City. Currently, Science City has a 45% probability of taking this seriously. The personnel stationed at headquarters are at most ten Superhumans. The remaining Superhumans are divided into two teams.
One team is in the final stages of encircling the Zombie Empress. They have a 63% probability of bringing the Zombie Empress south to intercept. The other team is heading west to resist the man-eating vines. They have an 88% probability of abandoning their resistance against the vines and heading east to intercept.
Both teams have more than twenty Superhumans, with the strongest being Level 6 Superhumans. In addition, there are over a hundred combat servants. Although selected from ordinary people, their combat skills are solid, all among the elite of ordinary people."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly. "I understand. Let\'s go."
"Yes," He Shengliang nodded.
Chu Xuan controlled the Green Shadow Shuttle and immediately ascended into the sky.
He Shengliang, being just a mortal, couldn\'t withstand the high-speed airflow generated during flight. Therefore, Chu Xuan enveloped him with a layer of Spiritual Qi to prevent him from being blown off.
Standing on the Green Shadow Shuttle, He Shengliang looked down at the ground, deeply shocked. Such methods truly befitted an immortal. Coming to find an immortal was indeed the right choice. It was a pity that Ji Shengyu couldn\'t witness this awe-inspiring scene.
