190: They're after me?
Dong Yibai naturally knew this wasn't anything good, but she no longer had a choice.
Silently taking it, she swallowed it and walked down with her sword in hand... "Captain! Let me do it!" The scar-faced youth couldn't bear it; even if they deserved it, personally executing one's own blood relatives was too cruel... Feng Zhao shook his head, "Only if she does it herself will those who survive not harbor resentment."
"If you go, they will only hate the Zhenwu Bureau. Who knows what they might do in the future... it would be hard for them to live long."
Dong Yibai had also realized this point, which was why she was personally cleaning house.
As for whether her surviving family members would hate her... let them hate her. It was better than being dead.
A young man came forward. "Great-Aunt, you..."
Sword light flashed, screams and curses intertwining... "Is it settled?"
"Mm." Feng Zhao nodded, looking up at the black tide once more.
Compared to when he had left, the front line of the black tide had advanced significantly.
So much so that the gale stirred up by the ink shadow was even stronger, making his cheeks sting... "Guo Ming hasn't come out yet?"
"I don't know if he's dead." Chu Yuan glanced at Dong Yibai but said nothing.
Instead, Dong Yibai reacted as if triggered, her body trembling slightly as she lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
All the contempt she had previously felt due to Chu Yuan's age had long since vanished the moment that talisman was branded onto her Soul!
Fortunately, the Captain had arrived.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan still gave the Captain Face... otherwise, Dong Yibai didn't dare imagine what kind of terrible fate she would have suffered!
"This can't go on. Your energy isn't infinite either..."
"I was thinking the same thing... should we go in and take a look?"
Although Li Wei and Sun Meng's injuries hadn't fully healed, they at least wouldn't affect their combat much for now... Chu Yuan also wanted to know which bastard dared to mess with him.
Feng Zhao glanced at Dong Yibai, and she immediately rushed toward the black tide with her sword!
Chu Yuan recalled the ink shadow. Without the obstruction, that black line immediately surged fiercely toward Mosa City!
Within a few breaths, the city was submerged... the scene shifted, and bones stood like a forest.
A vast, pale plain stretched out, remarkably paved with white bones!
Some were human, but most were strangely shaped skeletons... Chu Yuan instinctively spread his Divine Sense, only to be knocked back by a foul stench in an instant... Targeted like this!?
He looked ahead to see a small hill made of corpses that seemed to still be warm... At the peak, a longsword was stabbed into a head.
It was Dong Yibai's own sword, plunged into her own head... Feng Zhao's expression dimmed slightly. He hadn't expected that in just a few breaths, Dong Yibai would be killed.
Although death was her inevitable end, this was a bit too fast... "Where's Guo Ming?" Sun Meng looked around.
There were no traces of a great battle nearby; it was quiet.
Only the residents of Mosa City, swallowed by the black tide, were making panicked and noisy sounds.
Chu Yuan performed a hand seal, activating the Niyuan Qianshen Technique, and then pointed at the mountain of corpses.
"Over there."
"Guo Ming is dead too?" Li Wei was somewhat skeptical.
He was a Seventh Realm expert after all, and he'd even taken forbidden medicine. How could he die so easily?
If that were the case, they might as well turn around and run now. It would mean this incident was simply beyond their ability to resolve and required a heavy blow from a higher-level power!
He threw a punch toward the corpse mountain, and a circular sonic boom exploded!
In an instant, countless corpses were pulverized, and foul blood splattered everywhere... But this move was like poking a hornet's nest, as shadows screeched and flew out from the corpse mountain.
The good news was that they found Guo Ming.
The bad news was that he was in a very bad state... over a dozen tiny shadows were clinging to him like leeches, sucking desperately!
"Guo Ming!" Sun Meng cried out.
But a black line was faster than her reaction, leaping as if traversing through space!
It reached Guo Ming and, in an instant, skewered the things on him like a candied hawthorn stick... Guo Ming finally regained his mobility, sweeping his great spear to force back the enemies.
He then dashed to Chu Yuan and the others, saying with lingering fear, "Chu Yuan! Go, quickly! They're coming for you!"
Chu Yuan frowned. No wonder whether it was the black tide or after entering the Desolate Demon Secret Realm, everything from the start was aimed at his Divine Sense.
He hadn't heard before that the Desolate Demon Secret Realm had any restrictions on Mental Energy.
If the Nightmare Insect Clan was behind it, then it made sense... "Desolate Demons, weirdness, the Nightmare Insect Clan... and these lackeys."
"Quite a full house, isn't it?"
"More than that. Why don't you look again?" A mocking voice rang out.
Looking around, Chu Yuan saw the residents of Mosa City who had been swept in melting like butter... The process was neither too long nor too short, just enough for them to feel extreme terror and pain without completely passing out.
In a very short time, another layer of fresh white was added to the Bone Wasteland... Chu Yuan sensed that the atmosphere, which felt like a cesspit to his Divine Sense, had thickened even more.
So that's how it happened... "Chu Yuan! There's a grand array!" Feng Zhao looked down with a grim expression. Beneath the white bones, murky red and black array patterns were faintly visible, as if drawn with foul blood, sending waves of unease through them.
"There's a grand array and you're not running?" Chu Yuan barked in a low voice.
He then transformed into a golden rainbow and shot away in an instant.
Fighting someone on their own prepared home turf was simply insane!
It wasn't a matter of whether he was afraid, but why should he do what they wanted?
However, Chu Yuan's plan fell through, or rather, the opponent had already anticipated it... After all that preparation, letting him escape would be farcical!
On the outskirts, in the direction Chu Yuan was fleeing, two members of the Nightmare Insect Clan suddenly appeared to intercept him!
However, what these two Nightmare Insect Clan members didn't expect was that someone was actually faster than them?!
Three weirdnesses, their Faces filled with greed and appetite, lunged at Chu Yuan without hesitation!
"So fragrant! So fragrant!"
"..." Chu Yuan's Face darkened. "I fucking knew it..." Space distorted at his fingertip as he struck out with the Life Extinguishing Finger.
The formless and substance-less bodies of the weirdnesses seemed to be sucked in, letting out terrified screams.
Chu Yuan had long discovered that although he had an unparalleled attraction for the weirdnesses;
The weirdnesses weren't blind. The higher their Realm, the better they could resist such temptation... like Wu Min, who could squat outside a grand array all day... But although he had forced back these three weirdnesses, he was ultimately stopped.
Feng Zhao and the others, who were breaking out in other directions, also failed to escape... The grand array hummed, and a blood-red circular light screen rose like an inverted bowl, trapping everyone inside.
"There's no other way..." Chu Yuan sighed. As the ink shadow flickered, a sword pierced through Guo Ming's head...
