In just a few breaths, he grew several centimeters taller. It was eerily fast.
Su Han's pupils suddenly contracted, and countless tentacles spread out from the severed head of the evil insect's minion. He began to repair himself again, though not as quickly as the first time.
Li Huo, who was silently observing from high above, frowned.
On one hand, he was shocked by the power Su Han was displaying at this moment. On the other hand, he was also puzzled as to why Su Han seemed so unfamiliar with the evil insect relatives, as if he were seeing them for the first time.
After a moment's thought, he suddenly spoke, "The followers of evil gods are extremely immune to physical attacks. Only by using powerful elemental forces to slowly wear them down, or by completely pulverizing their bodies in an instant, can we defeat them!"
"Of course, you can also set up extremely special arrays to seal them away, and then erase them later!"
"...Is that so?" Su Han's face remained expressionless, but his mind was racing.
He recalled the power he possessed and knew what to do: "Grind it completely."
Susanoo grasped the hand of the evil insect familiar, enveloping it once more in a deep white light, and unleashed another air tremor. This shattered most of the evil insect familiar's body.
Su Han dispelled Susanoo and stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by the scattered remains of the evil insect remnants, which were still alive.
They were constantly twisting and turning, tentacles spreading from the wounds, connecting together, stretching and trying to reassemble.
"It's over." Su Han clasped his hands together and said softly, "Dark acupoints."
Darkness spread outwards from him. The remaining living bodies of the evil insects were all swallowed into the darkness.
The dark acupoints completely obliterated the bodies of the evil insect's minions. After all, the power of this attack was essentially equivalent to a weakened version of a small black hole.
When Su Han dispelled the darkness, silence returned. Using his Observation Haki, he listened to the surrounding sounds again and discovered that the nauseating, eerie noises were no longer present.
Su Han turned his head and looked in the direction of the cafeteria. His kaleidoscope-like eyes swirled, and he could no longer sense that eerie, sinister aura. Clearly, the altar had been destroyed.
"That solves the problem."
Su Han nodded, then lightly stomped her foot on the ground, and sped off towards the school gate like an arrow.
"Wait, may I ask..." Upon seeing this, Lei Qianjue quickly reached out his hand. But before he could say anything to stop him, Li Huo grabbed the hem of Lei Qianjue's clothes, signaling him to stop.
"What happened?" Lei Qianjue only got halfway through his sentence before he suddenly remembered something, and a look of shame appeared on his face. "I'm sorry... I forgot that this person is still in seclusion. And he left so quickly, he probably doesn't want to meet us."
Li Huo remained silent for a long, long time before finally speaking in a low voice, "That person, you can leave now if you want..."
"However, we can pay a visit to this person tomorrow."
"Huh?!" Lei Qianjue suddenly sensed something was wrong, looking completely bewildered. "You know his true identity?"
"I don't know, but I can look it up."
"...Didn't you say that we shouldn't investigate the other party's specific situation, so as not to offend someone of that level?"
Lei Qianjue was even more confused. How could you contradict yourself like this?
“Last time, the local squad leader reported that this person’s face was not visible. Based on this, I concluded that he didn’t want to see you and me,” Li Huo said calmly.
"But this time, not only did he participate in the battle, but he also did not conceal his face. Based on this, I judged that the other party must have changed its policies."
"Since they have no objections, it is only proper etiquette for us to pay them a visit and express our gratitude!"
------------
Chapter 28 Xiao Zhi felt that he was probably doomed.
Lei Qianjue thought for a moment, then nodded with a serious expression. "I understand."
“But before that,” Li Huo bit his lower lip, casting his gaze outside the school with a somewhat heavy expression, “we need to suppress the news as soon as possible.”
“Let’s leave this to the local science and technology network bureau.” Lei Qianjue’s voice was calm. He looked at the school, which had been completely reduced to ruins, and sighed. “This is getting bigger and bigger… I don’t know how much longer we can keep it a secret.”
"As long as the higher-ups don't fully release the information, we'll keep it a secret for another day." Li Huo said solemnly, enunciating each word clearly, "No matter what means we use."
...
at the same time.
Su Han silently slipped through the open window and entered the house. Suddenly, she felt her phone vibrate.
He frowned slightly, opened his phone, and found several missed calls from his sister, Su Zhu.
"...Why did she call me?" Su Han was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she called back.
"Hello, where are you right now?" Su Zhu's somewhat nervous voice came from the phone.
"I was out for a walk earlier, but I'm home now. What's wrong?"
"You're at home now?" Su Zhu's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, tinged with disbelief. "How could you... Never mind, get out of the house as fast as you can now."
"Why?" Su Han asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you feel it outside? That earthquake with such a huge amplitude! There might be aftershocks later." Su Zhu's voice was very impatient. "Okay, silly little brother, just stay at home and don't move. I'm going back to find you now."
"No need, I'll leave now."
Su Han remained silent. After hanging up the phone, he went to the window and gazed at the scene outside, where the hallway was brightly lit.
In the streets and alleys, many people, wrapped in quilts and wearing pajamas, had left their homes, their faces filled with fear and unease.
"This matter... has blown up." Su Han suddenly felt a headache coming on. "My attack... completely destroyed the school. But there was a reason for that, so even if they come looking for me, I don't need to worry about them demanding compensation..."
"But due to the earthquake, the overall damage to Jiangzhou was..."
Although the earthquake was triggered by Su Han, and he controlled the intensity of the shockwaves as they spread... aside from the school, no buildings should have collapsed. It was even less likely to cause any casualties.
