From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

After confirming that Zhuo Hongjun indeed possessed the "Dark Wolf King" Class, all the pieces began to connect, forming a complete picture of the truth.

Zhuo Hongjun gradually calmed down, recalling all the information he knew.

Before Lu Heng arrived here, he thought he had successfully deceived everyone, that everything he had done was perfect.

He didn't even know that Lu Heng was still investigating the matter.

His family had significant influence, enough to affect the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau.

If the Iron Blood was still investigating the case, his family would have received information in advance.

Since there was no such information, it meant that very few people were investigating this matter; very few knew this secret.

Faces of a few individuals surfaced in his mind, and he had a rough idea of who knew the secret.

As long as he killed the three members of Lu Heng's team, along with Chen Linian, the secret would not be revealed.

For good measure, killing Chen Linian's disciple too would ensure absolute security.

Having understood these key points, his eyes showed a glimmer of dangerous intention.

If he could just kill Lu Heng here, everything that followed would be simple, whether it was Su Muyu or Chen Linian; he wouldn't even need to act personally. Sending a team would do the job.

Therefore, the key to concealing this secret was to kill Lu Heng.

A cold smirk played on his lips as he said, "You wanted to see my Class, didn't you? I'll give you the chance."

As he spoke, the Source Material Energy within his body boiled, muscles in his arms, shoulders, and chest started to rapidly swell.

In the blink of an eye, his stature had almost doubled in size, claws sprouted from his fingers, his jaw elongated, and his skin grew black mane, transforming into a werewolf.

Moreover, unlike Derek Wolf's Werewolf Form, his was even more formidable, with eerie patterns on his fur, clearly marking him as a Dark Wolf King.

Although Lu Heng had heard of the Dark Wolf King Class, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Now that he was seeing it firsthand, he was also somewhat surprised.

As Zhuo Hongjun transformed into his Wolf King Form, he opened his wolfish mouth, bared his sharp fangs, and said in an almost frenzied voice, "This is what you insisted on seeing. If you're seeking death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With that, he pounced, leaping high and striking at Lu Heng with a claw.

Lu Heng quickly dodged, stepping on the Gale with swift movements.

Bang!

Zhuo Hongjun's claw strike hit the ground, tearing open a half-meter-deep gash in the reinforced concrete.

The power of a casual claw was terrifying.

He was incredibly fast; after missing with one claw, he immediately followed up with another.

Lu Heng hastily drew the Aurora Blade to block and then used it to spring back.

Just from that single collision, Lu Heng felt as though his sword was almost knocked out of his grasp.

The opponent's strength was formidable, probably exceeding 140 points.

Not just his Strength, but his Agility and Constitution attributes were also likely above 140 points.

Previously, while investigating the case, Lu Heng had conducted Class and blood tests on Zhuo Hongjun.

Having seen the test results, Lu Heng knew his Source Energy Level was 39.

The average attributes for a Level 39 Superpower User were probably between 100 and 105.

That meant the Dark Wolf King Form had directly boosted his attributes by nearly 40%, pushing his Strength, Agility, and Constitution all above 140 points.

This was definitely not an effect that a regular Dark Wolf King Class could achieve; it had to be a Divine Effect to be this strong.

Lu Heng's Agility Attribute was 136 points, which was essentially the highest at this stage among Peak Superpower Users.

Zhuo Hongjun, having entered his Dark Wolf King Form, had broken through this extreme value in Agility.

Fortunately, Lu Heng had the speed boost from Wind God Step, increasing his movement speed by 150%, so he wasn't oppressed by his high Agility during the battle.

Even so, in a head-on confrontation, he still felt his arm go numb from the other's 140 points of Strength.

Zhuo Hongjun taunted as he attacked, his shouts growing increasingly wild: "Now you know how strong I am, right? Do you still think you can beat me? I didn't bother with you because I deem it beneath my dignity to argue with someone of your lowly origins; otherwise, I would have squashed you long ago."

Lu Heng's gaze turned cold as he snorted, "Just a Third Transition Class, and you really think you are invincible?"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he released his Divine Embodiment.

Lu Heng and his Divine Embodiment split up and ran in different directions, both starting to gather power.

While charging up, his speed would slow down.

Zhuo Hongjun let out a wolf's howl and pounced forward, slashing out three claw beams.

As Lu Heng was charging up, he suddenly disappeared from his spot, using "Void Flash" to instantly move ten meters away.

At the same time.

His Divine Embodiment finished charging and broke the sound barrier with a "boom," unleashing the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash.

Roar!

In an instant, the howling wind formed a dragon, lifting Zhuo Hongjun into the air, smashing him against the ceiling, the powerful wind pressure from the Wind Dragon pinning him there while the Tornado Blade fiercely cut at him, leaving deep wounds on his body.

Lu Heng's true form also finished charging, and he unleashed the second move of the Sword Saint's Ultimate Skill.

Flying Dragon Hunting Sky!

A sword flashed as quick as thunder, its cold brilliance like the sun piercing through clouds.

Zhuo Hongjun's pupils suddenly contracted. He immediately pulled out an S-Level treasure and enveloped himself in a layer of black energy. In an instant, he vanished from the spot, leaving a trace through the void.

The next moment, he appeared outside the training ground, trying to escape.

Lu Heng followed with a flash, using his second "Void Flash" to appear behind him. With a "puff," he stabbed through Zhuo Hongjun's chest and pinned him against the wall of the first-floor lobby of the security company.

The sudden outbreak of a Superpower User fight caused the company's staff to exclaim in alarm.

Zhuo Hongjun still kept his Wolf King Form, howling and struggling pitifully.

But the more he struggled, the larger the wound tore.

At that moment...

A squad of Superpower Soldiers rushed into the security company, sealing off the entire building.

The leading Superpower Soldier shouted, "Stop! Raise your hands!"

These were military Superpower Soldiers, and all their guns were aimed at Lu Heng. This was the Zhuo Family's power in action.

Lu Heng had already anticipated this, so he had notified the appropriate authorities before arriving.

Just as this squad of Superpower Soldiers appeared, several armored vehicles arrived.

Jian Qing, Wu Weibing, and others brought teams and established a second layer of containment outside.

They came on orders from Li Guining, forming a standoff with the Zhuo Family's forces.

Zhuo Hongjun, with an expression of pain, reverted from his Wolf King Form and yelled at the Zhuo Family's officer, "Kill him quickly! Get me down!"

The Zhuo Family's officer aimed his gun at Lu Heng and ordered, "Put down your weapon and raise your hands!"

Jian Qing stepped forward and said, "It seems impossible to smooth things over here, let's handle this officially."

Zhuo Hongjun immediately pointed a finger at Lu Heng, "This man attacked me unprovoked, Captain Jian, you should arrest him now!"

Lu Heng curiously asked, "Starting to deny everything now?"

Seeing his own people had arrived, Zhuo Hongjun forcefully said, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Fine, then I'll help sort out the sequence of events. It starts in the Queldorei World..."

The Zhuo Family's officer barked, "Shut up! Don't spout nonsense here, if you have something to say, come back with me!"

Jian Qing and Wu Weibing, leading their teams, stood in front of him and said, "Attempting to silence others, huh? Let him finish his piece, or no one leaves today."

Zhuo Hongjun cursed, "What's there to talk about, it's all his slander."

"Whether it's slander or not, just listen first..."

With so many Superpower Soldiers here, once things were cleared up, if the Zhuo Family wanted to silence anyone, they'd have to deal with all the people here.

So, Lu Heng recounted the whole matter:

"Actually, it's quite simple. Zhuo Hongjun, in the Queldorei World, accepted the Traitor Task and opened the Bloodline Demon's teleportation gate, almost causing the Elf Clan to be wiped out.

"I know, many would say the elves are foreign and unrelated to humans—if they were wiped out, so be it.

"But don't rush, the intriguing part is yet to come.

"After returning, I visited the Elf Royal City again and gathered some clues, beginning to investigate the "Dark Werewolf" class.

"This Vice-Captain Zhuo Hongjun is quite ruthless. He extracted his Wolf King Source Material to avoid investigation.

"Afterward, he couldn't bear to part with the powerful "Dark Wolf King" class, and reabsorbed the Source Material, using Moon Well Spring Water to integrate into a complete class.

"I guess he absorbed the 'Dark Wolf King' without his family knowing. When the Zhuo Family found out, to cover up this secret, they needed a scapegoat to cleanly resolve this matter.

"So, you chose You Jinghan. He also returned from the Elf World, making him a perfect fit.

"You first controlled him with a Superpower Potion, then gave him 'Dark Werewolf' Source Material. When I traced it to him, you planned to kill him to silence him.

"You thought it would be over at this stage. After all, with no evidence from the dead and no other leads, it seemed settled.

"Unfortunately, you made too many little moves.

"You Jinghan's death proved that the Traitor was within the country. Even with more than a dozen returnees, by narrowing down from the information, there were only a few suspects.

"Checking each one would definitely uncover the truth. And just as your Vice-Captain Zhuo was eager to show off his Wolf King Form, everything became clear."

Zhuo Hongjun's face looked a bit ugly, but he still said forcefully, "You have no evidence. All you're saying are guesses. Don't think you can frame me with false accusations!"

With the Zhuo Family's background, even if everyone knew, without evidence, they could not be touched.

So, evidence was key.

Even if Zhuo Hongjun's "Dark Wolf King" class was exposed, it was not definitive proof. He could concoct a thousand reasons, claiming it was obtained from the Abyss Battlefield.

The "Dark Wolf King" class itself wasn't a crime. The real criminal was the Traitor.

That is to say, without evidence proving he was the Traitor, all analyses were useless.

"You're sure there's no evidence?" Lu Heng turned back and smiled at him.

Zhuo Hongjun's expression stiffened, not understanding the meaning behind Lu Heng's smile.

Lu Heng walked over, took the black treasure bead from him, and said, "You forgot this."

Zhuo Hongjun's eyes widened when he saw the bead because it was about to expose his biggest secret.

"If I'm not mistaken, this bead is your reward for completing the Traitor Task, right? The Abyss Instantaneous Treasure Ball, an S-Level treasure, is a top reward only for Traitor Tasks that threaten to alter the world's structure, like opening the Bloodline Demon's teleportation gate."

Holding the Abyss Treasure, Lu Heng pierced through all his lies.
