Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 68: The Survival Rules of the Apocalypse!

Under normal circumstances, once one's cultivation reaches the Fetal Breath Realm, the qi and blood, as well as the internal breath, circulate from the outside to the inside, forming a self-sustaining cycle. The internal energy remains hidden and does not manifest externally.

This is why, even though Liu Zimo's strength increased tenfold after breaking through to the Fetal Breath Realm, his aura remained concealed and unremarkable.

Everyone who has seen him cannot perceive the grandeur of a grandmaster emanating from him. Instead, they think he is an ordinary person without any threat.

This has led many martial artists who have not truly fought against him to have the misconception that Liu Zimo may not be as powerful as they imagined.

They naively believe that Lou Yuchen, who has already broken through to the Golden Body Realm, has the strength to stand on equal footing with Liu Zimo. Unable to resist, they cannot help but instigate and provoke, actively emerging from the shadows.

And now.

Due to the sudden surge in martial cultivation and soul cultivation, the qi in Liu Zimo's body overflows.

Some of the qi and the martial domain and soul domain all uncontrollably burst outwards, instantly enveloping everything within a radius of a thousand kilometers.

All the martial artists within this martial domain and soul domain are suppressed by this powerful aura, unable to move an inch.

It is only at this moment that they truly feel the terror and power of Liu Zimo.

It turns out that in front of this Advisor Liu, they are not even as significant as ants on the roadside!

It is ridiculous that most of them previously believed that Advisor Liu was only taking advantage of his position in the military to act arrogantly at the Military Affairs Department. In reality, they thought his strength was nothing more than that of a harmless little sheep.

"This is too outrageous!"

"This is not a harmless little sheep at all, but a terrifying tyrannosaurus that can devour anyone at any time!"

Everyone's hearts tremble with fear and unease.

When Liu Zimo casually waved his hand just now, easily killing Sun Chenghu and the other thirty-two people, it brought them great fear and unease.

At this moment, under the cover of Liu Zimo's powerful aura, they have all become like fish on a chopping board.

This feeling of powerlessness, where life and death are not in their control, fills them with fear and trembling.

They do not know what fate awaits them next.

They only know that if Liu Zimo wants to kill them, they are completely powerless to resist and can only close their eyes and wait for death!

Among all the people present.

Only Yang Sisi, Ye Feihong, and the three military guards who have been directly attached to Liu Zimo from the beginning feel the most at ease.

The more powerful Liu Zimo's strength is, the stronger their sense of security becomes.

In this apocalypse, having the opportunity to follow such an unparalleled powerhouse is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and blessing!

Soon.

In just a few minutes.

The anxious crowd suddenly feels the pressure on their bodies loosen, and the terrifying aura that was like a heavenly might dissipates instantly.

When they gasp for breath and climb up from the ground as if they have survived a disaster, they see Liu Zimo slowly standing up from his seat, his calm and indifferent gaze sweeping over each and every one of them.

Swish!

Everyone's hearts tremble, and they all lower their heads and bow, not daring to meet Liu Zimo's gaze.

"I'm sorry for alarming all of you."

Liu Zimo calms his mind and speaks calmly.

His voice is not loud, but it clearly reaches the ears of everyone present.

"These people just now harbored ill intentions and intended to overthrow the authority of the Military Affairs Department, causing chaos in the entire Luozhou City. I have followed the wartime regulations and dealt with them on the spot."

"I hope everyone present can take this as a lesson and refrain from such rebellious acts in the future!"

Hoo!

Upon hearing Liu Zimo's words, everyone present unconsciously breathes a sigh of relief.

Since it is a "lesson," it means that Advisor Liu does not intend to pursue it any further.

And for them, they will not end up like Sun Chenghu and the others, who were powerless and died on this rooftop.

As long as they can stay alive, everything will be fine!

As for Sun Chenghu and the others, if they die, they die. Who really cares?

"What Advisor Liu said is absolutely right!"

"We also despise what Sun Chenghu and the others did. In the future, we will always look up to Advisor Liu and never have any second thoughts!"

Everyone bows and expresses their loyalty, their emotions sincere and passionate.

After this battle, they dare not have any second thoughts, nor dare they show any disrespect towards Liu Zimo.

With such a god-like existence who can crush them at any moment, who can afford to provoke him?

"Wrong, it's not about me, Liu, being the only one to be revered, but about following the instructions of the Military Affairs Department and obeying the unified command and dispatch of the country!"

Liu Zimo corrected seriously, "I am just a martial arts consultant in the Military Affairs Department. Although I am in the organization, I have no command authority. In the future, all military affairs in Luozhou City should still be based on Director Liang's orders!"

"In short, the stability and development of Luozhou City in the future will rely on the cooperation of everyone present!"

With one sentence, Liang Luojun's absolute leadership position in Luozhou City was confirmed.

Although there was some perfunctory element in this, few people present would take it seriously.

But at least on the surface, Liang Luojun was undoubtedly the leader of the Military Affairs Department.

As the person involved, Liang Luojun naturally understood the meaning behind it.

But for him personally, being able to keep his current position was already great news.

He didn't dare to hope that he could really take full control of the Military Affairs Department and become the de facto leader of Luozhou City.

"Alright, the unhappy things are over. Let's continue today's banquet!"

Liu Zimo raised his hand and pointed to both sides of the rooftop, where there were piles of pre-cut King Kong beast tenderloins prepared by Yang Sisi and others. He said in a low voice, "These are the main ingredients I prepared for you. Trust me, once you take a bite, you will completely fall in love with them!"

After speaking, Liu Zimo took the lead in picking up a piece of tenderloin and grilled it on the barbecue grill.

While grilling the meat, Liu Zimo's mind wandered, starting to select new potential binding targets.

It had to be said that the martial artists who were able to elevate their cultivation to the peak of the Copper Skin Realm or even the Iron Bone Realm during the early stages of the demonic calamity were almost geniuses among geniuses.

They were not discovered before because they were all scattered in different parts of the city and were not easy to encounter.

But now, all these martial arts geniuses and even prodigies were gathered together by Liu Zimo using his position.

Since these people stepped onto the rooftop, Liu Zimo saw one golden lock shadow after another, intermingling with red lock shadows, which was extremely pleasing.

If it weren't for Sun Chenghu and others seeking death and delaying some time, Liu Zimo might have already bound these geniuses and prodigies as his "good brothers" and "good sisters".

However, good things were not afraid of being late, binding them now was the same!

With a thought from Liu Zimo, a continuous sound of locking and prompt messages came into his ears:

【Binding successful! Your good brother, Yang Jiping, is online. Current available binding targets (19/50)】

【Binding successful! Your good brother, Feng Shaoning, is online. Current available binding targets (20/50)】

[......]

[Binding successful! Your good sister Fang Suhong is now online. Currently, you can bind (48/50) objects.]

In the blink of an eye, Liu Zimo directly bound thirty "good brothers" and "good sisters".

Among them, three were the Scarlet Lock Shadows with Grandmaster potential, and the rest were all golden Lock Shadows with Innate potential.

"Not bad, just two more to complete it!" Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction, feeling very good, and greeted everyone again.

"No need to be polite, we have plenty of barbecue today, help yourselves!"

Seeing that Advisor Liu suddenly became so friendly, everyone finally relaxed and scattered to the barbecue area on both sides, each busy with their own tasks.

Soon, the entire rooftop was filled with smoke and fireworks, and the enticing aroma emitted by the ribs of the Group-level Diamond Beasts continuously entered the nostrils of everyone present.

Gululu! Gululu!

The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard everywhere.

Many peak Copper Skin Realm warriors, due to the severe lack of their own blood and energy, couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma from the diamond ribs. They couldn't even wait for the meat to be cooked before eagerly devouring it, constantly stuffing it into their mouths!

At this time, the thirty-two bodies lying in the center of the rooftop were also cleaned up by Liang Luojun's men.

While sending people to clean up the bodies, Liang Luojun also quietly instructed Zhou Yiren, making sure to cut the grass and remove the roots, eliminating all the forces behind Sun Chenghu and their immediate relatives.

Although their conversation was quiet, it couldn't escape the ears of Liu Zimo, who was already a peak Grandmaster.

Regarding this, Liu Zimo only raised an eyebrow slightly and did not speak to stop them.

The end of the world has its own survival rules.

Since certain things have been done, they must be done thoroughly!

No matter when, there must not be any future troubles, otherwise it would be irresponsible to oneself and one's family.

Liu Zimo himself was a Grandmaster-level warrior, so naturally he had no fear, but his father, younger uncle, and younger brother did not have his self-defense strength.

Therefore, even if Liang Luojun did not give the order to cut the grass and remove the roots, Liu Zimo would personally eliminate all these hidden dangers one by one.

"This Liang Luojun, although his martial talent is lacking, he is quite clever and sensible. I should focus on cultivating him in the future!"

Taking a bite of the barbecue, Liu Zimo glanced lightly at Liang Luojun beside him, and his opinion of this "sensible" Director Liang increased a bit.
