Chapter 406: Dudu's Terrifying Power

Chapter 406: Dudu's Terrifying Power

As Dudu unleashed her fury, obliterating Fei Yinghao and the entire Grand Hall, a small island in a distant sea, far from Jiangnan, bore witness to another startling event.

Li Wu, his face contorted with rage, glared at the woman before him.

"Let me go! I don't have time for this nonsense!" he shouted.

With a roar, Li Wu raised his fists and pounded on the blue light barrier that encased him, his body crackling with electricity.

It was clear that Li Wu was giving it his all, his entire being shimmering with electrical energy, the light from his fists blindingly intense.

Yet, despite his efforts, he couldn't breach the barrier. His blows failed to even create a ripple on the surface of the light screen, which remained as calm as the woman's expression beyond it.

"I promised her that I wouldn't let you out for a few days," the woman, or Zhang Yini, said calmly. "In other words, she doesn't want you there. It's best if you listen to her and don't make things difficult for me."

Zhang Yini's words only heightened Li Wu's anxiety. He pounded on the light barrier again and asked, "What is she planning? What is that girl up to?"

All signs pointed to something far more significant than the University Alliance.

Zhang Yini didn't evade Li Wu's question. "She's either going to kill the Twelve Elders or be killed by them."

Li Wu's face paled at her words, as if struck by thunder. He leaned against the light barrier, his eyes wide with shock.

"You heard correctly," Zhang Yini continued nonchalantly. "And considering the timing, she's likely already on her way to Elder Mountain."

"Has she gone mad?" Li Wu was on the verge of tears, thinking of the girl's recklessness.

He was well aware of the formidable power of the Elder Council. This was not a battle Dudu could win.

"She's not going to kill; she's going to her death! Make her stop immediately! You can't let her continue like this. Tell her that if she doesn't, I—"

Zhang Yini calmly interrupted Li Wu, "It's too late!"

"There's still time! If you stop her now, there's still a chance—"

Suddenly, Zhang Yini fixed her gaze on Li Wu's eyes, her calmness turning eerie. Li Wu's heart skipped a beat, and his anxiety grew as he heard her next words.

"No, it's too late! Even if you stop her, it won't make a difference. It's all too late!"

Li Wu's heart raced at her strange demeanor and words. He felt panic rising, but he knew that giving in to these emotions now would be futile.

He had to get out! Dudu needed him!

"I must get out, no matter what!"

Li Wu's determination grew as he spoke, and as he lowered his head, his hand reached for his heart once more.

In the next moment, the Celestial Cloud Sword was drawn from his heart.

As the sword emerged, Zhang Yini's eyebrows lifted slightly, and a faint smile played on her lips. "It seems your journey has brought you quite the reward."

Clearly, Zhang Yini had either recognized the sword or sensed its extraordinary nature. This was why Li Wu had kept it hidden before.

Exposing the sword would reveal his experiences from the past six months. But now, Li Wu had no time for such concerns.

With the Celestial Cloud Sword in hand, Li Wu unleashed his power.

The energy within him, the power of the Wang Grade 3-Star Li Wu, surged, instantly elevating him to Epic 0-Star.

Simultaneously, Li Wu raised the Celestial Cloud Sword, and the longsword itself erupted with power. The Wang Grade 2-Star sword's explosion of energy further amplified Li Wu's strength and aura.

Zhang Yini couldn't help but glance at Li Wu's sudden surge of power.

"You've indeed become much stronger than half a year ago, but even so, it's not enough to break free..."

"Slaughter All Lives!"

Before Zhang Yini could finish her sentence, Li Wu's Celestial Cloud Sword slashed downward.

The sword, infused with the combined energy of Li Wu, the power within him, and the sword itself, fell without a trace of smoke or fire.

It descended calmly, but as it struck the blue light barrier, an astonishing force erupted.

In a single stroke, the blue light barrier was cleaved open.

At that instant, Li Wu immediately activated the Gate of the Dead.

... before Zhang Yini could react, he had already fled the scene.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, the entire process taking just a few seconds.

Zhang Yini was left speechless and stunned.

However, as Lu Wu completely disappeared, the surprise on her face gradually turned into a faint smile. She then turned around and left.

...

Meanwhile, at the Necropolis Base.

Lu Wu's figure appeared out of thin air.

Having just escaped from the island, he didn't even have time to catch his breath before shouting out.

"Seventy-two? Seventy-two, where are you? Get your ass out here right now!"

This was the first time Lu Wu had ever been so flustered and anxious.

Seventy-two, hearing the urgency in his voice, hurriedly came out of the base.

"Leader, what's going on?"

"Immediately issue the order to activate our S Plan!"

"S Plan?"

Seventy-two's face changed at these words.

He knew all too well what the S Plan entailed.

Lu Wu had made several plans to help Duddu, and among them, the S Plan was the most effective and the most extreme. It was also the one that Seventy-two had desperately tried to convince Lu Wu not to use.

Once this plan was activated, there was a high risk that the organization Lu Wu had just established could be completely destroyed, and even all the members might end up dead without a trace.

"Leader, didn't we agree not to use this plan..."

Seventy-two tried to dissuade Lu Wu, but as soon as he started speaking, Lu Wu lifted his head and glared at him.

The bloodshot eyes filled with endless malice made Seventy-two swallow his words and nod solemnly. "I'll take care of it right away, sir!"

As soon as he landed, Lu Wu's expression changed.

"I'm too late!"

The newly built university, which had only recently been completed, was now in ruins, with about 20-30% of the buildings destroyed.

The worst damage was to the Grand Hall.

The entire area where the Grand Hall once stood was now just a deep pit.

From the pit, Lu Wu could sense several terrifying energy signatures.

The clone energy of Fei Yinghao, the escape energy of Feng Xiu's fifth messenger, and even the energy burst of Lu Zheng, the head of the Education Bureau, all left Lu Wu deeply shaken.

But what shook him the most was the energy left by Duddu.

The lingering energy made Lu Wu's blood run cold.

What worried Lu Wu the most, however, wasn't just Duddu's energy, but the scene before him and what Zhang Yini had said.

"Did that girl really go to Elder Mountain?"

At this moment, Lu Wu was both angry and anxious.

And he wasn't the only one feeling anxious.

There was another group of people who were also extremely worried.

These people were the elders of Elder Mountain.

It had been half an hour since Duddu's outburst in the Grand Hall.

Half an hour was enough time for the elders of Elder Mountain to learn what had happened at Jiangnan University.

After all, many of them had been monitoring the situation at Jiangnan University from the start, and there was also the clone of Fei Yinghao that had been destroyed there.

After the incident, the Elder Council was called into an emergency meeting.

Twelve elders, with the exception of the absent President, all eleven were present, including Fei Yinghao, whose clone had just been destroyed and whose grandson had been killed.

Once the eleven elders were seated, the second-in-command spoke up immediately.

"Everyone is aware of the situation. Pang Dudu revealed herself as a Dark Summoner, killed Old Fei's grandson, and slaughtered hundreds of people. What do you propose we do about this?"

The second-in-command was straightforward, and the response from the others was equally direct. The one at the end of the table slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"How do we handle it?

Don't ask me about this.

We told you from the beginning that we shouldn't do this. We said it was a bad idea, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on solving this problem before Lu Hai Kong and the President returned."

If they return and we don't deal with this now, it'll only cause more trouble later.

They didn't even consult us before taking action, and now they're in a mess.

And now you come to us for advice?

Are you trying to pin this on us?

Don't even think about it. We're leaving!"

As he spoke, the elderly man turned to leave, and the other three at the table stood up, ready to follow suit.

Suddenly, a golden bolt of lightning struck, blocking their path and preventing their departure.

The one who acted was not the second-in-command, but Fei Yinghao, who sat in the central position, his face as dark as thunder.

"Zhang Mingge, if you dare to leave, I'll make sure you pay for it!"

"Old Fei, I understand your anger, but this was Zhao Xue En's doing. It has nothing to do with us..."

"Don't play dumb with me. If you truly opposed their proposal, would this have happened? Your so-called opposition is just an empty gesture.

You all share responsibility for this situation. I want you to deal with Pang Dudu, and no one is leaving until it's done!"

Fei Yinghao slammed the table as he roared.

This was the first time he had lost his temper so publicly during a council meeting.

The reason for his outburst was clear to everyone. His beloved grandson had died in this incident, and at that moment, he was like a ticking time bomb, and no one dared to provoke him.

Led by Zhang Mingge, the four elders who had planned to leave discreetly had no choice but to return to their seats.

Zhao Xue En, the second-in-command, pretended not to notice the entire incident, as if it had never happened, and repeated his previous question.

"Well? How do you think we should handle this?"

"Stop wasting time!"

Fei Yinghao slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Don't try to shift the blame. I'm telling you, Pang Dudu must die today!"

"Old Fei, we understand your feelings..."

"Understand my ass! If anyone dares to talk about understanding, I'll kill their grandson too.

I'll make sure you feel the same pain!"

At that moment, Fei Yinghao was like a ferocious beast, ready to devour anyone who crossed him.

As Fei Yinghao's anger intensified, the other elders fell silent.

"Fine, it's just Pang Dudu. Kill her, and it's done.

Why make such a fuss? She's already unleashed her power and killed so many. Even if we kill her, the President won't say a word.

As for Lu Hai Kong? As long as the President is on our side, he can't do much."

"That's right. In that case, let's kill her first.

Old Fei, since she killed your grandson, why don't you take care of her yourself?"

............

The elders weren't truly intimidated by Fei Yinghao's outburst.

They all agreed that Pang Dudu had to die.

Or rather, their hesitation wasn't about Pang Dudu herself, but those who were absent.

No one knew if Lu Hai Kong would seek revenge or the extent of his retaliation, so they all wanted to avoid responsibility.

Now that Fei Yinghao had taken the initiative, they were content to let him handle it.

After all, it was his grandson who died, and if he killed Lu Hai Kong in return, no one would blame him. If there was any retaliation, it would be directed at Fei Yinghao.

However, despite the elders' agreement, Fei Yinghao's face didn't show much joy when they consented to his killing.

It wasn't that he saw through their calculations, but rather a lack of confidence in himself.

When Fei Yinghao expressed doubt about his ability to kill Pang Dudu alone, the elders were skeptical.

Some smirked, some chuckled, and some shook their heads, but no one responded.

Fei Yinghao was visibly annoyed.

"What? You don't believe me?"

"No, we don't!"

Zhang Mingge, who had been stopped by Fei Yinghao earlier, spoke up, "Old Fei, you're being unfair. Who are you? The Lord of Thunder, one of the twelve elders, and your combat power is among the best.

In your presence, messengers below the second rank of Zero Organization are like children. With your strength, how can you say you might not be able to kill her? Who would believe that? Is Pang Dudu's power so strong that it reaches the heavens..."

"Boom!"

Before Zhang Mingge could finish, an incredibly powerful force struck the Elder Mountain Sanctuary.

This force caused everyone present to turn pale...
