Threat

"Gasp! So it was you. What a coincidence—everyone showed up at once!"

After staring at Gu Sheng for a while, Werewolf Wang Lin finally remembered him. Wasn’t this the only guy who had survived under his hands that day? Just as he had expected, the man had entered Lord God Space.

Wang Lin truly felt that everything had been going against him lately. He had gone to Hangcheng in the real world on official business, only to be ambushed by that bastard Ling Wei. He had fought him, then somehow violated Lord God’s rules. Before this, Lord God had never warned him that abilities couldn’t be used in front of ordinary people!

After finally killing them all within the allotted time, this group had now appeared right in front of him.

Moreover, they all seemed to have become Reincarnators, and every one of them had a grudge against him. Gaining a pile of enemies out of nowhere was truly an unpleasant experience.

"Damn it! I can’t be bothered with this anymore. Let’s go, Tony!"

As Werewolf Wang Lin saw more and more familiar faces, he became even more speechless. Fighting was out of the question, so they might as well leave.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Gu Sheng flickered in and out of sight, already blocking the five werewolves. His tone was rather hostile.

"You want to fight? Surely you know Lord God’s rules!"

The werewolves became wary. None of them had noticed how Gu Sheng had appeared in front of them just now. Someone with such strength was actually a newcomer.

"Hmph~"

Gu Sheng let out a cold snort. His eyes flashed brightly as an invisible aura locked onto the werewolves. The others instinctively retreated from Wang Lin’s side.

"Ah~"

Wang Lin’s body suddenly convulsed. His form rapidly shrank, transforming into a pale-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed white man. His face was deathly pale, and his pupils were filled with panic, as though he had seen something terrifying.

"Thud~"

Wang Lin’s knees suddenly buckled, and he pitched forward before Gu Sheng. He braced himself against the ground with both hands, barely holding himself up as he knelt, sweat plastering his forehead and dripping steadily from the tip of his nose.

"I really can’t attack you, but you don’t even have the qualifications to stand before me!"

Facing Wang Lin, Gu Sheng released his aura. He had killed plenty of people during this time, and his dense killing intent was not something ordinary people could withstand. At the very least, Wang Lin couldn’t withstand it.

What he was doing was technically skirting the edge of Lord God’s rules. Aura suppression was technically an inherent quality that everyone possessed; it was just that the aura and pressure of the strong were terrifying. When fully released, they could make the weak unable to stand. Normally, however, everyone subconsciously restrained it.

Since Gu Sheng had released his aura against Wang Lin, it seemed that Lord God did not consider it a prohibited attack.

"Huff~ huff~ huff~"

Wang Lin breathed heavily, endless fear welling up in his heart. His mind was filled with a blood-soaked Asura killing field. Even with his own vicious nature, he couldn’t face such a horrifying scene directly.

"Black Dog! I don’t know whether you’re still in Hangcheng!"

Ignoring the horrified gazes around him, Gu Sheng lowered his head and threatened Wang Lin. "But I’m telling you now: once you return to the real world, get out of China as soon as possible.

"Let me make this clear. If you, this Black Dog, or that Dead Bat called Ling Wei run into me in the real world or Lord God’s world, I’ll kill you without exception."

Gu Sheng’s smile was cold. Before coming, he had specifically asked Lord God about the rules governing the real world. Lord God’s rule was that no one could use power above the First Star Level mid-grade there, and bloodlines, energy… and other such skills were forbidden. Clearly, Ling Wei and Wang Lin had used their bloodlines that day, violating the rules.

"Ding! The Revival Era has entered its first phase. The restrictions on the real world have been broken once more…"

A notification suddenly rang out in Gu Sheng’s mind, and his expression became rather strange.

According to the information sent by Lord God, for unknown reasons, the upper limit of power allowed in the real world had been refreshed. It had risen from First Star Level mid-grade to First Star Level peak, and certain bloodlines and abilities could now be used there—including werewolves and vampires.

"Bastard! You’re messing with me!"

Wang Lin suddenly roared at the violet-lit sky, cursing loudly. Just two days ago, he had been warned not to use his bloodline, and now the rules had changed after only two days. Wasn’t this deliberately messing with him?

"Heh!"

Gu Sheng laughed and shook his head as he withdrew his aura. "Wang Lin, you’d better pray you don’t run into me. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! Consider yourself lucky. I have something to do today, and I can’t be bothered to deal with you.

"But you’d better stay alive a little longer, you and that bat. Don’t get yourselves killed by someone else before I come looking for you!"

"Bastard!"

Wang Lin’s face flushed red, then pale, but he didn’t have the courage to trade barbs with Gu Sheng. He could only watch Gu Sheng leave, furious yet afraid to speak.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Some of the people nearby burst into laughter at Wang Lin’s appearance. The incident in Hangcheng had caused far too much commotion, and almost no one liked him.

A figure crossed paths with Gu Sheng. He seemed to recognize Gu Sheng and wanted to greet him, but after noticing how hurried Gu Sheng looked, he thought it over and lowered his raised hand.

"What happened, Tony? You offended that person?"

This man also noticed the disturbance among the werewolves. After walking over and glancing at Wang Lin kneeling on the ground, he went toward the Golden Wolf Tony, who was a head taller than the other werewolves.

"Yan Dan, do you know that person? He just announced that he was going after Wang Lin and Ling Wei!"

After the Golden Wolf Tony shrank down, he transformed into a burly man with golden hair and yellow eyes. He walked over to Wang Lin and helped him up. Wang Lin and he had known each other in the real world and were fairly good friends.

"Your luck is truly terrible!"

After learning the entire story from someone else, Yan Dan looked at Wang Lin as though he were looking at a dead man.

"Wang Lin, let me give you some advice. You should leave China. If you insist on staying, keep as far from Hangcheng as possible and avoid him. That person is the Butcher!"

Yan Dan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I met him a few times in my last world. A few days ago, he single-handedly crushed a gang that suppressed an entire city head-on. Those were more than ten thousand vicious bandits! Within seven days, over ten thousand bandits died by his hand. He truly lives up to the name Butcher…"

"Gasp~~"

Gasps rose one after another, and everyone was stunned. A Butcher who had killed ten thousand people was unimaginable in the modern era—not even ancient times could have produced something so inconceivable.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren’t you going to browse the trading hall and Lord God Market? You might even find something good!"

Chu Xin and Liu Daimei followed Gu Sheng. When they saw him heading toward the street entrance, he raised a hand and swiped. The tiger-striped mark flashed, and a fiery-red return pillar of light appeared before them.

"No. I still have something to take care of after I go back. Once I’m done, we’ll meet up in Hangcheng!"

Gu Sheng really did have something to deal with. He had thought about the Transmigration System’s notification, but there had been no content. This was the first time that had happened. He had a feeling that he would be able to find the crux of the matter once he returned to the real world.

"Oh, okay! See you tomorrow!"

Chu Xin nodded obediently and waved goodbye.
