Way of the Devil - Chapter 521

Chapter 521






Lu Sheng looked at the boy silently for a while .

"Ah Sang, what're you doing here?" Luo Di's voice suddenly reached him from behind .

His voice came abruptly . Lu Sheng did not even notice him getting near .

He started . Turning around, he saw that Luo Di was reaching out to pat his shoulder .

"I saw something in this classroom, and I came to take a look," Lu Sheng replied casually . He pointed at the interior of the classroom behind him .

However, his voice barely faded when he turned back to look . The classroom before him was pitch-black and empty . There was no little boy, and no television . Even the battered, neatly arranged tables and chairs were scattered all about the floor . There was a thick layer of black dust on the floor .

Luo Di looked inside the classroom, perplexed . "Are you sure that you saw something? A little boy?" He did not believe that his own son would make such a mistake . For an elite who practiced the Gelailo Sword Skill, there was no way that there would be a problem with his eyes .

"I'm sure of it . " Lu Sheng nodded . He pointed at the tables and chairs in the classroom . "When I was looking at the classroom before this, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged . "

Luo Di wore a grim expression, and seemed to be pondering something .

"Let's go . We should build that raft first . " He patted Lu Sheng's shoulder .

Lu Sheng nodded .

He seemed to have understood this town's crucial point . The key might very well have been this small building, this school .

'No… Maybe Luo Di didn't pick this place by chance at all…'

Lu Sheng took a final glance at this classroom . Then, he followed Luo Di up to the first floor .

In a classroom on the second floor, a group of people was gathered . When Fran saw Luo Di and Lu Sheng, she immediately stood up mid-yawn .

Mera's gaze was focused on Lu Sheng as well . The other emaciated man was also looking at Lu Sheng .

It was clear that everyone had learned about Lu Sheng's glorious feats .

"Since the wood is here, we must work together . We should build the raft in the shortest time possible and leave," Esseinro reminded everyone .

Lu Sheng raised a hand, and said, "I'll stand guard . " 

"Where are we going to find thick ropes?"

"I've found some in the school's drawers . They look sturdy," Fran said loudly .

Then, they quickly went to work . The logs were swiftly arranged neatly, and the protrusions were shaved off with knives . Fortunately, the surface of the wood was quite rotten, and the bad parts were easily shaved off .

When they were building the raft, Lu Sheng started loitering around the small building again .

From the third floor to the second floor .





From the second floor to the first floor .

Down until the ground floor he went . He walked around in the cafeteria, and finally returned to the teaching area .


The wind kept blowing into the building through the broken windows . A peculiar whistle filled the small building .

"Pooh!"

Lu Sheng pushed open the door to a classroom . Thick black ashes fell down from the lintel . Fortunately, he had paused before the door . The ashes did not fall onto his head .

The classroom was wide and empty . Graffiti of unknown meaning drawn with black chalk covered the entire wall . Fragments of broken wooden tables and chairs were scattered across the floor . A gray rostrum that seemed dilapidated still stood before the blackboard .

'There's something strange about this place… These weren't here when I passed by just now…' Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and walked into the classroom .

The wind blew, and the classroom's door was slowly blown shut . Lu Sheng walked to the center of the classroom and looked around himself .

"Flap!"

There was a sudden, crisp sound that came from outside the classroom . He quickly lifted his head to look in its direction .

"Swoosh!"

Without him noticing, a huge group of people was already gathered outside the windows .

These people dressed like teachers and students . Their faces were ghastly pale, and their eyes were fixed on Lu Sheng . They were quiet and peculiar .

Lu Sheng blinked . The outside of the classroom reverted to the pitch-black place where nobody stood .

"Clack…"

Another crisp sound came from behind him .

Lu Sheng turned around . He saw a woman with hair so long that it covered her face standing behind the rostrum .

The woman's black hair was like a waterfall, long and packed . Her arms hung straight on her sides as she stood behind the rostrum . She seemed to be looking at Lu Sheng through her hair .

"What are you guys trying to say? You have the numbers?" Lu Sheng was expressionless .

His vision blurred, and the long-haired woman disappeared as well . It was as if she had been an illusion all along .

However, he knew full well that he was supported by his main body in his heart . As a Heavenly Devil, he himself was a peak elite in matters related to the spirit . Nobody could have possibly put him under an illusion without him noticing .

He walked in a circle in the classroom . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

Lu Sheng did not notice anything .





"Istantine! Istantine! Sifrey! Kaman!"

Suddenly, a loud and neat shout came from outside the window . There seemed to be a number of men with healthy lungs shouting at the same time .

Lu Sheng immediately rushed toward the window to have a look . However, when he was halfway to the window, the ground gave way under his feet .

"Bam!"

His vision blurred . He was no longer in a classroom . He was lying down in a deep, pitch-black trap .

"Ugh…"

Lu Sheng sat up straight, feeling groggy . He touched the ground beside him .

The ice-cold ground was surrounded by some tiny and sharp objects . He reached around with his hand, and found out that they were spikes .

With a beam of moonlight which shone from above, he saw his surroundings clearly .

Sharp metal spikes seemed to have formed a miniature forest around him . They were densely packed as they stood upright all around .

Lu Sheng got to his feet slowly . A huge patch of spikes which had broken from his weight was underneath him .

'Hmm… So there's this trick as well? This isn't an illusion . So, what is it?' He was immediately intrigued .

It was clear that he had fallen into a trap . However, his body was too powerful, and the trap had been unintentionally broken by him .

He rummaged around in an attempt to find something, anything .

However, to his disappointment, other than some bones that were almost turning to dust, there was nothing else in this trap hole .

Lu Sheng grabbed a spike, and stomped on the ground .

"Bam!"

He shot up like a rocket in an attempt to leap out of the trap .

"Fuh!"

A spiked iron ball with a diameter of more than one meter suddenly crashed toward him .

"Boom!"

Lu Sheng swatted away the iron ball, and it crashed into the faraway wall with a dull thud .

Lu Sheng rode on the reaction force, and landed softly on the side of the trap .

It was only now that he realized that he was no longer in the classroom he'd been in just now . Instead, he was in a hidden chamber .





This hidden chamber was completely pitch-black, with a window above him . There was only a single door in front of him among the four walls of the chamber .

A little boy stood at the door . He was looking at him from the shadows of the moonlight .

When the little boy noticed that Lu Sheng had seen him, the little boy turned around and ran .

Lu Sheng quickly gave chase .

He dashed out of the room, and noticed that there was a pitch-black crevice whose depth he could not estimate .

Lu Sheng had wanted to halt when a huge force suddenly pushed him out from behind .

"Fuh…"

Without anything to hold on to, Lu Sheng dropped into a freefall .

The stone wall of the cliff shot past his eyes . The wind roared in his ears . The ice-cold, bone-piercing airflow kept assaulting him through the openings in his clothes .

He did not know how long he had been falling .

"Bam!"

Finally, Lu Sheng's body touched the bottom . He crashed heavily into a hard boulder .

The boulder seemed to have been hit by a huge impact . It suddenly split open, and its pieces rolled to the sides .

Lu Sheng did a somersault . An ordinary person would have had their bones completely crushed from the fall . However, he was unscathed .

He got back up to his feet from the floor . Lu Sheng looked upward, but could see nothing above the cliff . He did not even know where he had fallen off from .

"This place…" Lu Sheng looked to his left and right . He was completely at a loss as to where he was right now .

Behind him was a vast, boundless grayish ocean . The only piece of land was the cliff before him .

Ice-cold, bone-chilling wind roared all around him .

"I should head back first . " He looked to his left and right . He held onto the protrusions on the cliff before him, and started climbing upward quickly .

A few minutes later, Lu Sheng was once again standing atop the cliff . It was then that he saw a wooden door before himself .

The wooden door was open . The scene behind it was the classroom, which he'd been in just moments ago .

He quickly walked toward the classroom's door . This time, Lu Sheng was careful . He stood at the door and looked into the classroom carefully .

"You are all individuals gifted by God's grace . You are all talented people . The ritual will increase your glory . It is the key to your ascension into heaven after the death that you've been waiting for . " A gentle and friendly female voice could be heard from the classroom .

"Come now… All you have to do is draw a blade lightly across your necks . Don't be afraid . It's the same as falling asleep . This is our right contribution for our God…"

. . .

"Come here, children . Do you see God's image? Look at Its hand, look at Its eyes, look at Its… Ryan! What are you looking at?!"

The gentle female voice suddenly rose in pitch .

"Dammit, Ryan . You dare disrespect God . Men, dig his eyes out!"

"No! I won't do it again! My lady, I won't do it again!" The little boy's cries were accompanied by the frightened panting of the other children until a sharp wail ended abruptly .

Lu Sheng's vision blurred again . He had returned to the initial classroom .

The black-haired little boy stood near before him .

"Boom!"

The outside of the classroom suddenly burned . A great fire suddenly materialized, and ignited an entire floor of the small building .

Lu Sheng could hear the startled cries of Luo Di and the others as they hurried down the stairs .

However, he ignored them . He stayed where he was silently . He looked at the little boy before him .

The fire blazed and ignited the base of his trousers and his shoes . It started burning his feet, and Lu Sheng's body was quickly engulfed in flames . He completely turned into a man of fire .

"Havva… itallié… Mion…" The little boy slowly opened his mouth . He was speaking in an alien language .

As he spoke, he started to take slow steps toward Lu Sheng .

He raised his right hand, and his fingers turned into five sharp black spikes .

"Pcchht!"

In an instant, the spikes thrust toward Lu Sheng's chest . The sharp points of the spikes were shaking intensely . There were countless minute black spots moving about and shifting around them .

The air was shaking . The surrounding flames seemed to have cowered in fear . Under the advance of the spikes, the tongues of flames dispersed .

A blurry, giant and ferocious shadow appeared behind the little boy . It thrust forward with the little boy's movements .

"Bam!"

The spikes suddenly stabbed into Lu Sheng's chest .

They made no progress .

The little boy looked up, stunned . What he saw was the man of flames looking down at him .

"You poor child . You don't even know what power is…"

"Bam!"

With a loud bang, the little boy's chest caved in . His petite frame reeled like a cannonball, and he broke through the enclosing wall and flew out of the school . He crashed through several houses, and finally landed in a dump filled with black rubbish . He rolled along the ground, digging a deep ditch .
