The smell of carnage and blood filled the air as every single breath became increasingly difficult and suffocating.
The horrendous scene in front of them that had just transpired still felt surreal. Such brutal unadulterated raw violence!
Even Luther couldn't help but shudder at the sight of the massacre.
Watching dozens of guns drop broken down on the ground was completely different from watching dozens of human beings drop dead on the ground, lifeless and empty.
The most horrifying thing was that the dead bodies didn't even have a single cut or scratch on their person.
They all looked completely healthy and whole, except for the fact that their souls were burnt crisp into nothingness.
By now the darkness had almost completely faded away with the brilliant hues of the dawn filtering in.
But the deadly silence of that bloodthirsty night still prolonged.
None of the surviving five dared to make a move.
While Rabbit, Monkey, and Luther continued to gaze at the bodies frozen in shock, Su Lin as well, continued sitting silently.
She didn't want to reveal this side of her in front of Luther. But at the same time, she couldn't afford to be careless as well.
Almost losing him once to the Tang family's schemes was cruel enough. She couldn't bring herself to let him be vulnerable again.
He wanted to protect her, but she wanted to protect him more.
If there was even the slightest hint of danger, she needed to do whatever was required to eliminate it.
It really didn't matter if that made her look like a monster. As long as this person next to her was not harmed, she would do anything and everything for him.
Breaking this uncomfortable silence a sudden thud sounded near them.
Wang Yu dropped to his knees, after being unable to stand straight anymore.
He was still processing what had happened, but one thing was clear.
The ruthless people who had brutally murdered his family had been massacred right in front of his eyes within a span of seconds.
He dropped his head on the ground near Su Lin, with faint muffling sounds coming out of his withered body.
Su Lin patted the man as he continued to cry bawling his eyes out.
Revenge might not bring back the dead, but it at least made sure that their debt was paid in full.
Watching these inhumane dogs die like this finally brought a sense of peace to this haggard man.
Soon even the ambiguous dawn started disappearing with bright sub rays filling the place. Su Lin quickly got up and started the cleaning process.
She didn't want to unnecessarily get caught and deal with the intricacies of the government and law enforcement.
She thoroughly checked each and everybody and carefully retrieved the translucent orbs. She had in fact collected a total of thirty orbs.
Just how many people were unjustly murdered to create these thirty ghost orbs??
Su Lin put the orbs in the bag they had brought along and quickly piled the remaining bodies together.
She then seemed to hesitate a bit.
Her flames only affected souls.
At a higher cultivation base, she could upgrade it, and then it might be able to literally burn things, but for this particular body disposal situation, Luther's power would be the most suited.
He can convert these corpses into ashes within seconds.
But Su Lin was worried to meet his eyes. She still hadn't looked at the man yet.
While she was fidgeting restlessly, a hand touched her shoulders, and she was pulled into a deep embrace.
"You still won't trust me fully?" A gentle voice whispered in her ears.
Luther then used his lightning zaps to neatly dispose of the bodies and the clothing, and every other remnant of a battle.
In the next few minutes, other than a slack-jawed Monkey and Rabbit, nothing seemed out of place in that small remote mining area.
Luther then casually planted a kiss on his precious wifey's head and headed back to the mine to continue their main job.
And Su Lin's eyes automatically trailed the devilishly handsome man as if that was their sole purpose for existence.
She gazed affectionately at his chiseled muscular arms being hard at work and a subtle lightness surfaced in her heart.
With her crescent mesmerising eyes on her hubby, she walked back and sat next to Wang Yu.
After witnessing this warm romantic scene, Monkey and Rabbit both shuddered at the same time.
The power couple in front of them was literally too powerful!!
You guys? Are you both absolutely psychotic?? Why are you romancing in the middle of a deathly battle scene, you assholes??
They both helplessly looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.
While Rabbit hurried along and followed Luther in helping him mine the remaining materials, Monkey still continued to dilly-dally.
"I really needed to progress in my cultivation faster." He resolutely declared.
How would he ever get a girlfriend if he couldn't do these powerful stunts like the crazy husband and wife pair in front of him!!
He needed to look cool too!! Damn it. He refused to be a side character forever!!
Monkey fished out the phone from his pants and quickly sent a text to Squirrel.
They still needed to get trucks for transporting these ore chunks and the crazy ominous-looking orbs. They couldn't possibly air travel with all of these overpowered trinkets.
The orbs especially looked particularly scary. If you stare at them for too long, it almost felt as if someone else was staring right back at you.
Even if it was their private jet, they still needed to get through airport security. It should be impossible to hide and bring these crazy orbs.
Monkey looked at the psycho husband and wife pair, as the idea of road trip floated in his mind.
He then shook his head vigorously. Nope. Nope. Nope.
It would be in everybody's best interests to pack up these two in a separate vehicle, while he and Rabbit manned the truck while returning back.
Yup, that definitely sounded better.
"Dude. Stop daydreaming and come continue your training." Rabbit's loud voice sounded, making him almost jump up in fright.
"He He. Coming bro." Monkey ran along with a sheepish look on his face.
Though he was a bit embarrassed about his misplaced priorities, he still strongly believed in preparation when it came to this crazy duo.
