"What nonsense!" The guard flew into a rage and swung his knife at Lu Ren:"You are the one who deserves to die!"
His eyes were filled with murderous intent and his knife skills were extremely fierce.
This time, Lu Ren did not hold back.
He quickly stretched out his right hand and grasped the whistling steel knife like a pair of pliers. The blade seemed to be stuck in an extremely hard iron plate. No matter how hard the guard tried, he could not move forward.
The guard stared at everything that happened in front of him with a dazed look on his face.
However, before he could react, Lu Ren shook his wrist violently and heard ""Crack" A sharp crisp sound was heard, and the solid steel knife was broken into two pieces.
Then, Lu Ren grabbed the broken half of the blade without hesitation and slashed it across the opponent's neck with lightning speed.
The guard's body fell silently.
His posture was straight and stiff, like a sculpture without vitality.
However, in stark contrast to the expected bloody scene, the blood did not gush out like a fountain.
To be more precise, the smooth and neat incision on the man's neck did not shed a drop of blood.
Lu Ren's heart was filled with doubts.
He stepped forward decisively, swung the sharp blade in his hand, and quickly cut the guard's head off. chopped off.
When the head rolled to the side, a shocking scene appeared before his eyes.
The inside of the head was empty and void, without any trace of flesh and blood.
Lu Ren couldn't help but widen his eyes, secretly shocked.
Despite the ups and downs in his heart, Lu Ren still tried to control his emotions, and then carefully cut open the body along the chest with a knife.
He leaned in and looked carefully, and found that the chest cavity was also empty. The internal organs that should have existed had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dry and gray cavity.
Lu Ren guessed that this person had died a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to be such a tragic scene.........
At this moment, his ears trembled slightly, as if he heard a strange sound coming from the head at his feet.
How could a person who was dead make any sound?
Such a bizarre and absurd scene instantly alerted Lu Ren.
He slowly squatted down and listened attentively.
Suddenly, he noticed that the guard's pale eyes, which had not yet closed, actually turned slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flew out of the empty eye sockets and rushed straight towards Lu Ren's face.
Lu Ren's heart was shocked, and his body suddenly retreated backwards. His movements were as agile as the wind, and he finally avoided this sudden attack.
After pulling away from the black shadow for a certain distance, he looked closely and finally saw its true face clearly.
It turned out that it was a strange black insect that looked like a summer cicada, but was only the size of a fly!
At this moment, the black insect was quietly floating in the air, flapping its almost transparent thin wings, and from time to time, a sharp and piercing cry came out of its mouth.
Lu Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and swung it forward suddenly.
In an instant, a powerful sword energy gushed out, sweeping through like a storm.
The inky black insect was instantly torn into countless pieces by the sword energy, like a burst of black smoke drifting away, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
With the destruction of the black insect, the creepy insect chirping sound came to an abrupt end, but Lu Ren did not relax at all.
He stared at the lifeless corpse on the ground, with a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes.
"I see……" Lu Ren murmured to himself,"You use this method to control other people's minds.?"
Based on what just happened, Lu Ren deduced that the strange black worm was most likely a kind of insect similar to a Gu worm.
Once this kind of Gu worm invades the human body, they will corrode the host's brain nerves at an alarming rate, and then control its body and mind.
As time goes by, the Gu worm will gradually devour the muscles, bones and internal organs in the host's body, leaving only an empty shell.
Just as he saw before his eyes.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lu Ren's heart sank.
If this is true, then the current situation may be far more dangerous than he imagined!
Because all the people in the city, including Li Zhuang, have become puppets under the control of Wang Min's Gu worm.
Although the degree of damage to each person varies, if Wang Min cannot be quickly eradicated and this crisis cannot be resolved, I am afraid that the entire Shanyin City will face a catastrophe.
"Kill him!"
A shocking cry of killing suddenly sounded, and the source of the sound came from the direction of the city gate.
Lu Ren looked up and saw that the hundreds of city defenders who had surrounded and killed him before appeared in front of him again. The originally empty streets were occupied by this group of defenders in the blink of an eye.
They marched in a uniform pace, as if they had received professional military training, and their pace was surprisingly consistent.
But Lu Ren now knew the reason.
These people were not living people, but human-shaped puppets controlled by poisonous insects.
At this moment, perhaps Wang Min was secretly controlling all this, or there was a mother insect hidden among these puppets, which could give orders to the other poisonous insects and coordinate them in a unified manner.
Lu Ren didn't have much patience to slowly look for the mother insect.
Since it was confirmed that these people were dead, he naturally didn't have to worry about anything.
He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and his sharp eyes flashed with a surging murderous intent.
"Everyone, have a safe journey!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and the sky was full of sword light.
These defenders faced such a terrifying���They were not afraid at all.
After all, they were just puppets without independent consciousness in Wang Min's hands, and they only knew how to mechanically execute the orders issued by the queen insect.
Soon, the hundred defenders who rushed to the front row were cut in half, and the broken limbs and corpses were scattered all over the ground, but there was no trace of blood.
Without exception, the eyeballs of these people would become extremely pale after death, until one by one, the poisonous insects flew out of them.
Lu Ren never stopped his movements, one knife after another, without feeling tired at all.
Finally, hundreds of defenders were all killed by him.
And those poisonous insects that had nowhere to go were strangled to death by the flying knife lights the moment they drilled out of their eyes.
Except for one of the poisonous insects that was obviously several times larger in size.
This insect was dark red all over, which was very different from the ordinary black poisonous insects in appearance.
This should be the queen insect, right?
Lu Ren stared at the queen insect who was also observing him with ill intentions, and vaguely sensed a dangerous signal.
Could it be that it wanted to turn itself into Wang Min's puppet?
Oh, what wishful thinking!
Lu Ren's eyes were as cold as the stars, and the long knife in his hand flashed with cold light.
He swung the long knife freely and slashed at the queen insect fiercely.
However, something unexpected happened. The queen insect actually avoided this extremely sharp knife easily!
It was like a ghost, shuttling and cruising in the dark night, like an erratic and elusive little black dot.
This queen insect seemed to have an extraordinary ability to cross the limitations of space at will, disappearing in front of Lu Ren's eyes in an instant, and then appearing quietly somewhere else.
Space seemed to be just a layer of ethereal gauze to it, which could not stop its pace at all.
A faint and almost imperceptible flapping sound rang in Lu Ren's ears, making his heart tighten suddenly.
He suddenly turned around and swung his knife, trying to kill the queen worm completely.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened. Just when the knife was about to touch the queen worm, it strangely evaporated again and disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ren couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
At this moment, he didn't dare to relax at all. He paid full attention to the movements around him and didn't miss any unusual movements.
After a stalemate for an unknown period of time, Lu Ren vaguely heard a faint sigh.
Then, the queen worm that was staring at him disappeared completely.
The sense of crisis in his heart was also lifted.
Lu Ren continued to observe for a while, and after confirming that there was no threat, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, a question came one after another.
Did Wang Min take the initiative to withdraw the queen worm?
Why did he trap himself but not kill him?
After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and calming down, Lu Ren looked towards the empty city gate.
The broken limbs and corpses scattered all over the ground have disappeared.
The surroundings are silent, like a dead city.
Lu Ren was silent for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of leaving the city.
Although no one is stopping him at this moment, who knows what will greet him when he opens the city gate?
Moreover, there is a question that always bothers him.
Why is there no one in the city except the puppet guards who were just killed by him?
Where did more than 100,000 people go?
He does not believe that Wang Min has the ability to transfer so many people out of the city at once.
At present, there are only two possibilities to explain this situation.
First, he is not in the real world, but a maze created by Wang Min through some means.
Second, this is the real Shanyin County, and the people in the city are still in the city at this moment, but he can't see them, or.......They do not exist as living people.
