Spare Me, Great Lord!

From the incident regarding the metahumans of Ezhou, it could be seen that although policemen with modern weapons could hurt metahumans, they did not have a good understanding of metahumans.

If the other two elemental metahumans were Class E, Lu Shu could understand. After all, elemental metahumans started from Class E.

But what was with this Class D strength-based metahuman? Lu Shu was more familiar with strength-based metahumans, and could safely conclude that he had just passed class E, and was on the track of a Class D. But he was only considered as a weaker class D, perhaps only when he fills up his second nebula would he reach the peak of class D.

So Lu Shu knew from the moment this criminal made his move, that Lu Shu couldn’t do what he could do. His speed was faster, and it seemed like this strength-based metahuman had reached class D, but not for a very long time.

There was something unusual about this. For the other party to raise himself up to such a level, he would need to awaken 3 times. In the past, Lu Shu thought that it would be difficult to awaken so many times, but right in front of him was such a person…

This guy must have been through a lot…

D class metahumans already had the ability and speed to evade high-tech weapons. In last night’s chase, this strength-based metahuman had hurt people even after being warned. Furthermore, the police stood no chance against him in the dark as they struggled to even take aim, sacrificing 3 men in the process.

And during the course of the event, the black coats were shocked that the criminal did not take much damage from the explosion caused by their talisman. The truth was from last night till now, they were only exhibiting their true abilities now as it wasn’t much of a battle last night.

The black coat who was sprawled on the floor coughed out some blood before stabilizing himself.

The remaining six black coats took advantage of the explosion and whipped out six more talismans with crimson red words.

The 3 criminals tried their best to evade their attacks, but these six talismans were thrown in all directions as if they were locking down onto the criminals.

The best they could do was to minimize the damage.

Under the dark sky, 3 consecutive explosions echoed. They evaded 3 of the talismans but were struck by the other 3.

The talismans stuck onto them and in a moment, the red words on the yellow paper glowed with a bright red light before erupting with a huge explosion!

The black coats, perhaps with the knowledge that the explosion did not do much damage to the D class strength-type metahuman, decided to focus on the other two metahumans.

The strength-type metahuman did not have a single talisman on him. On the other hand, his two accomplices had already been damaged heavily by the talismans!

The criminals were reeling in shock. They did not think that for such a small city, Luo Cheng would have so much personnel from the heavenly network. Apart from the numbers, the personnel here were also much stronger than those in Ezhou yesterday.

The seven black coats surrounded the criminals together, with them silently acknowledging Xi Fei as the leader.

“Don’t fight headlessly, they must have reinforcements soon. Continue heading north, once we bypass the yellow river and towards the north-west, there’ll be hope!” The guy next to the burly metahuman said, evidently holding in his pain.

Just as he finished, the three of them turned and bolted. The black coats gave chase immediately and at that instant, the three criminals turned around all of a sudden. The one who could manipulate the ground sent his palm towards the ground once again.

Just when everyone assumed that he was trying to escape, the air felt dense and heavy as if they were underwater. Everyone’s movements slowed down, and only then did the black coats understand that they were trapped by the opponent. There was much pressure in the air and that could be seen from the expressions on some of the black coats!

A simple chase had turned into a fight put up by the three metahumans in cold blood!

All this seemed to have been planned and rehearsed by the three of them for a long time.

They had waited so long just to try out this combination tonight!

Earth spikes impaled two of the black coats’ chests, while the rest also suffered different degrees of injuries. Fresh blood flowed onto the earth through the earth spikes. At this juncture, Wang Cheng bridge looked like a living hell.

It was not that Xi Fei and his men were weak, it was just that these three people were too familiar with each other and their moves. And just as Lu Shu had predicted, even in the heavenly network, Class D metahumans were not extremely common.

All the students in Daoyuan class were at the level of Class F. If there was a Class D amongst the black coats here, they wouldn’t have come to such a state. Lu Shu noticed Xi Fei’s leg was injured, perhaps a fracture.

Given the way Daoyuan class practitioners were training, they would see a great improvement in future. As of now, however, they would struggle against bigger and stronger metahumans.

Witnessing such a scene made Lu Shu turn pale. This was truly the first time Lu Shu witnessed something that could hint at what the future had in store…

Were people really willing to be controlled by the Daoyuan classes? Did metahumans really want to return to being normal people? When their strength reaches a certain level, perhaps there would be more chaos.

Also, there was a very obvious problem. If most people were jolted by an event into awakening, where did that jolt come from? There must be something which was very detrimental to them!

Would they be dissatisfied towards this society? Would they resent their surroundings and the people around them?

Or… The existence of metahumans was wrong right from the start?

Lu Shu didn’t want to continue thinking. He did not cover Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes either. If this was the cost of the impending new era, everyone would be exposed to this sort of sight sooner or later. There was no avoiding the reality.

At this moment, police sirens reverberated around the area. A few black coats were dashing towards the scene at the other side of Wang Cheng bridge. The two men in front were, by far, ahead of the other people. Their expressions were sour and each of them held a long sword, exuding a bright green light.

They must be the highly skilled Class D men of the heavenly network. What they brought with them must be the metaweapons which were mentioned by Xi Fei before!

The reason for Daoyuan class’ day off today was to allow personnel of the heavenly network to be deployed at strategic locations everywhere. What was thought to be a flawless plan turned out in such tragedy!

What was thought to be 3 Class E metahumans turned out to be 1 D and 2 E, which was a huge difference! To be honest, they did not expect to have a metahuman consecutively awaken three times to reach Class D in such a short amount of time!
