The combat strength of the two commanders was far below that of the people outside.
Of course, part of it was due to a certain Dragon King's hiding her power. But with that, the decapitation was complete, and the farce should be over, right?
As Lu Mingfei thought this, he saw a figure appear—it was the little devil, Lu Mingze.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really ruthless, bro."
Lu Mingze crouched down, sizing up Nono and Xia Mi, who had been blasted away and embedded in the cement wall. He sighed, "Bro, now you're the real killer. You didn't show any mercy. If Caesar and Chu Zihang knew, they'd probably be heartbroken."
"Got caught up in the excitement and forgot to hold back."
Lu Mingfei could only explain it that way. Besides, he didn't think Caesar and Chu Zihang would be mad over such a small thing.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful." Lu Mingze clapped his hands, looking at Lu Mingfei, who seemed like a completely different person. He sincerely praised, "As expected of 'Adam'! In just one summer, you've become a completely different person. Now, you truly deserve that throne."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in the throne."
Lu Mingfei bent down, picked up the communicator, and shook his head. "Now, it's just you left. Are you surrendering?"
"Square."
On the other side of the communicator, only two simple words came through.
Clearly, the opponent was issuing an invitation for the final showdown.
Lu Mingfei shrugged, crushed the communicator, then looked around, grabbed a katana, and walked out of the underground garage with large strides.
He wasn't opposed to a fair fight. On the contrary, it suited the honor of the battle group perfectly!
The boy in the Cassell College uniform stood out in the vast garden square. At that moment, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the ground right in front of him, leaving a hole that emitted faint white smoke.
Lu Mingfei looked up towards the direction of the gunfire. About 500 meters away, on the third-floor windowsill of a tall building, a girl in combat gear was holding a sniper rifle far too large for her frame. It was an American-made Barrett M82A1, known as the "King of Snipers"!
With a 5-inch caliber, it was typically used for anti-material sniping, targeting things like tanks and armored vehicles.
If hit by this thing, it could make a hole the size of a basin in his chest. Forget about saving him; just take him straight to the crematory.
Five hundred meters. Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes. With the help of power armor, he could cover this distance in a few seconds, but now, as a mere mortal with his Word Soul suppressed by regulations, trying to outrun a bullet was nothing short of a fool's dream.
The only option... was to predict the trajectory of the shot in advance!
"Need some help, big brother?"
The little devil always pops up at just the right moment, offering a tempting olive branch: "Just give me a quarter of your soul, and I'll grant you a Word Soul that breaks the regulations. Guaranteed to work!"
That's how devils are—showing up when people are in trouble, using temptation to strike a deal.
But Lu Mingfei was no longer the same Lu Mingfei he used to be. He wasn't that "unlucky kid" who would curl up whenever faced with difficulty.
After going through countless trials and wars in the galactic purgatory, he had transformed into a qualified soldier!
"No need."
Lu Mingfei gripped his katana, his gaze sharp like a hawk's, locking onto the girl on the third-floor windowsill.
For a moment, the large garden square became silent.
Their gazes crossed over the five hundred meters, colliding in the air like sparks, exchanging silent words through their eyes.
Bang!
The next second, the girl pulled the trigger.
The recoil of the Barrett M82A1 caused the surrounding dust to fly, and the loud noise tore through the sky.
The large-caliber bullet spun out of the barrel, trailing a noisy air wave. In the daylight, it traced an invisible trajectory that the eye couldn't follow.
With the bullet's speed several times that of sound, the kinetic energy reached its peak, crossing the five hundred meters in less than a second!
The deadly intent, like a knife cutting through the air, triggered Lu Mingfei's instinct. In that fraction of a second, he predicted the sniper's intention.
His right hand shifted the blade to his left, slashing upwards with a crescent-shaped cut.
Clang!!!
The moment the blade and bullet collided, bright and dazzling sparks exploded.
Fortunately, the material of the sword was tough enough to split the large caliber bullet in half, but the massive force still traveled through the sword and into his entire arm.
His palm split open from the shock, and the katana almost flew out of his hand. Thankfully, he reacted quickly and used his right hand to press it down.
"Was she aiming for my torso?" Lu Mingfei thought, analyzing where the next shot would land, while his legs bent like springs before suddenly shooting straight.
Boom!
The granite-paved square was immediately dented by his weight, and the shockwave sent shards of stone flying.
In an instant, his speed was like an arrow leaving its bow, almost turning into a blur.
A visible shockwave dragged behind him, like a dragon churning through the clouds. In just a second, he had covered dozens of meters, and the sharp sound of the sonic boom echoed through the square.
On the other side, the girl, looking through the scope, clearly saw Lu Mingfei's move to slice the bullet.
To an ordinary person, they would likely be stunned for a few seconds. But the girl remained expressionless, as if she had already predicted this.
Without saying a word, the girl kept her focus on the shooting action, operating the rifle with mechanical precision. She pulled the bolt back, loading the next bullet into the chamber.
Through the scope, she saw Lu Mingfei, adjusted her breathing, and felt like she had become one with the gun, her sights locked onto the speeding figure.
Bang!
The hot, spent casing was ejected and landed with a crisp sound.
The second shot, still aimed at the torso, considering the destructive power of the Barrett, there was no need to go for a precise headshot. Even grazing the target would be enough to cause massive damage.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't retreat at all. Instead, he charged forward, swinging his katana at the oncoming bullet.
Clang!
Another perfect hit—the bullet was shattered by the blade.
After two failed shots, the girl's brow finally showed some impatience. She quickly pulled back the bolt, loading the next bullet into the chamber.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei pushed his speed to the limit, like an ancient beast in a frenzy.
Everywhere he passed, the granite ground was shattered, the sound of his destructive footsteps accompanied by a sonic boom, coming closer and closer, looking like a terrifying tsunami, ready to devour everything in its path.
It was close, but not close enough!
Through the crosshairs, the girl waited for the moment Lu Mingfei would close in. Only when he was close enough could she deliver a killing blow.
Finally, when he reached a distance of ten meters from the building, Lu Mingfei suddenly crouched low, then his legs shot out like cannonballs, crashing into the ground with immense force.
The ground within a ten-meter radius collapsed like it was caving in, a thick cloud of dust rising up like a curtain, several meters high.
Boom!
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck, with shockwaves creating ripples in the air.
With each step, the area around Lu Mingfei violently shook, and then his entire body shot into the air like a dragon rising to the sky, carrying a terrifying, screeching wind that propelled him across the ten-meter distance in an instant.
"Now!"
The girl seized the final opportunity and pulled the trigger.
What she didn't know was that Lu Mingfei had been waiting for this moment. With a howl like thunder, his katana slashed out with unmatched strength, channeling an immense destructive power into the blow!
The blade cut through the air like a bolt of lightning, colliding with the bullet in mid-flight!
It was the clash of flesh and technology, the final confrontation!
In an instant, the bullet was split by the sword!
The ferocity of the strike far exceeded the girl's expectations. She couldn't understand why, at such a close range, she had failed.
However, Lu Mingfei had no intention of explaining. He flipped the sword in his hand and, with the back of the blade, struck her neck with brutal precision.
The last enemy fell at his feet, her face a picture of confusion.
Meanwhile, Manstein was flipping through documents, slamming his hand on the table in frustration, shouting, "This is just ridiculous!"
The final result of the Day of Liberty was beyond everyone's expectations.
The Student Council and Lionheart Society factions had teamed up, but they were violently suppressed by Lu Mingfei, single-handedly.
From the organizers like Chen Motong and Xia Mi to every single student, the medical rooms in Cassell College were nearly overflowing.
Broken bones, fractures, and mild concussions were everywhere, and it could almost be declared that the newly started semester at Cassell College had come to a standstill.
Since the only student still attending class was Lu Mingfei!
Thus, the new student Lu Mingfei became well-known at Cassell College, earning the title of "Angel of Death" from the other students!
