Chapter 220: Chapter 142: Locking onto the Parasites! The Slaughter Begins! Iron-Blooded Methods That Shock the Entire School

’Will it realize the danger and, in a last-ditch effort, manipulate its host to start a riot, trying to forcefully parasitize everyone here to achieve its goal?’

’If that’s the case, then I should make my move...’

But to Chen Chong’s slight disappointment, as the seconds and minutes ticked by, the scene did not descend into the chaos he’d anticipated. There were no signs of the Bloodthirsty Vine manipulating its hosts into a frenzy. Instead, it was surprisingly calm, as if there were no Parasites here at all.

After observing for several minutes, a playful smile touched the corners of Chen Chong’s lips.

’Looks like this damn thing’s intelligence isn’t as monstrous as I thought. It can’t reach the level of human thought.’

’Or maybe... they want to keep hiding, unwilling to expose themselves.’

’Since they don’t want to come out on their own, I’ll just have to do it the hard way and drag them out one by one!’

’Anyway, during the speech, I already managed to lock onto all the Parasites in the crowd.’

’Time to pull them out by the roots...’

Meanwhile, the crowd below had erupted into an uproar, their voices rising and falling in a wave of discussion.

"What he said can’t be true, can it? Has our school really been invaded by that... Bloodthirsty Vine?"

"Bullshit! You actually believe that crap? How can something so outrageous exist? How could a plant parasitize a person?"

"Exactly. Even if that stuff is real, how would he know? We all got transported here together. Who’s ever heard of intelligence cards, information cards, or any of that?"

"That’s true. But he spun a pretty convincing tale. Almost had me fooled."

"I don’t know, I don’t think he’s lying. He doesn’t seem like the unreliable type."

"Are you serious? Are you swooning over him? You can’t just blindly believe someone because they’re handsome!"

"Forget it, forget it. He’s probably just trying to stir up a panic to recruit us. If we believe him, we won’t even know what hit us when we get screwed over..."

Many people sneered and shook their heads, convinced that Chen Chong was just fearmongering.

After all, the pieces of intel he’d shared were each more outrageous than the last, making it very difficult to believe him.

If not for his intimidating presence, which made them afraid to provoke him, someone would have started throwing things at the stage long ago.

As the restless crowd, who dared not act out, began to shift, some were already preparing to leave... ℯℯ𝘭.

BANG!

Just then, a tremendous crash suddenly rang out!

Everyone turned toward the sound. Its source was a person...

But when they got a clear look at him, the surrounding crowd fell into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned.

Isn’t that Chen Chong, the guy who was just giving a speech on the high platform?

How did he get over here in the blink of an eye?

It was a distance of a full hundred meters, with so many people in between. How did he do it?

However, that wasn’t even the most shocking part.

What was even more horrifying was that Chen Chong’s feet were planted firmly on a young man’s body.

Under his crushing weight, the young man’s limbs were all broken. His body was bent and twisted like a rag doll, paralyzed on the ground.

And that crimson longblade, over a meter long, had already pierced through the young man’s chest. Blood gushed out, rapidly staining the surrounding ground...

This sudden scene made every student’s mind go blank.

They couldn’t believe their eyes. Chen Chong... had killed someone!?

Why did he kill him?

Was it just because that person was about to leave? Did that anger him enough to lash out so violently?

If that was the case, who knew how many people here were about to die by his blade!

"M-Murder!!! He killed someone!!!"

As a trembling cry rang out, the students who had been frozen in place were finally shocked out of their daze.

Terror instantly filled their faces, and they subconsciously stumbled backward.

Some even turned and fled, their gazes fixed on Chen Chong as if he were a man-eating monster.

No...

He *was* a monster!

Although most people hadn’t seen how he got there, a small portion had witnessed the terrifying scene firsthand.

He had actually leaped directly from the high platform, crossing a hundred meters in a single bound to land steadily amidst the crowd!

And the young man had been crushed into that miserable state by the terrifying force of his descent from the sky.

Who would believe it if you told them?

This was something no human could do!

Filled with deep terror, the thousand-plus students began to flee in all directions, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

"Brother Chong has made his move! Everyone, follow the plan!!!"

With a sharp cry from Xu Jun, Wang Biao, Jia Wen, Zhang Meng, Zhong Fang, Ning Yu, and the others, along with the Fishing Club and nearly a hundred other members, immediately fanned out to encircle the crowd.

The school’s main gate had already been blocked by Qi Zhen.

He ripped off his outer clothes, revealing a lean, bronze-colored torso. Traces of golden light began to flow across the surface of his skin.

As he stamped his foot, a wave of energy suddenly burst outward.

It forcefully sent a dozen or so students who were trying to run out the gate flying backward.

"Take one step past this gate, and you will be executed on the spot!"

Qi Zhen’s eyes were ice-cold, and his body radiated a strange power that surpassed the ordinary.

The students who had been about to rush the gate were instantly frightened into place, not daring to take another step forward.

Meanwhile, the students fleeing toward the inner campus were also blocked by Wang Biao, Ning Yu, and their countless members.

The Central Square was large, but it only had three exits.

The main gate, and a left and right passage each leading into the school grounds.

In the center of the square was an enclosed venue typically used for events and performances, and all other sides were surrounded by walls.

Now, Wang Biao and Ning Yu each took a group to block one of the passages. Just like Qi Zhen, they held the exits, refusing to yield an inch.

Facing the surging crowd, Wang Biao raised his Bipolar Bow and fired several arrows, pinning them precisely into the ground before them.
