Chapter 1883 - 968: Reinforcements

Support?

Li Yuqing's expression was momentarily stunned, instinctively looking around, almost doubting his own ears.

Weren't you just bringing a kid?

Apart from that, where else is the supp...

"Ah Ran, it's up to you now."

Tong Hua, the acting Minister of the Cliff City North Mountain District, gave the directive: "Be careful of the scale, don't cause too much collateral damage."

"Understood."

Outside the factory area, the young man nodded, the spreading bone and iron light rising from beneath his collar, covering his handsome face, replacing it with a wolf-like grim iron mask.

In his eyes, a savage flame light as crimson as blood burst forth.

Instantly, the coal trucks parked by the roadside shuddered, their metal sheeting tearing and twisting.

In the truck beds, the mountains of coal ash and soil debris surged as the mechanical beasts sleeping in the darkness opened their eyes, ripping apart their disguises!

Like a pack of wolves, they crawled out from their disguises, howling skyward, echoing each other.

A burning flame surged within their fiery bodies, rising turbulently.

Without any command and without the need to expend any heart power to control, they responded to the will of the wolf pack's master, dashing towards the warehouse district close at hand!

Like eagles soaring, like tigers sprinting, like serpents slithering, even like a swarm of bees coming together in a tidal wave... What appeared to be chaotic conflict was, in fact, orchestrated with an unseen hand managing everything from behind, coordinating them as if they were one entity.

Under the reconnaissance of the bee swarm-like drone clusters, all threat targets were marked, soon followed by fiery metal monsters charging in, launching an attack.

The mechanical birds circling mid-air locked onto their targets and folded their wings, diving down like missiles, exploding into rays of flame light.

The swelling dark swiftly trembled in burning, illusions shattered, and wax-like soft-bodied creatures were exposed to observation, instantly incinerated in kamikaze bombings.

More didn't even wait for bombings, shredded and devoured by the charging mechanical beasts.

"...What the hell?"

In the depths of darkness, the main priest in the secret ritual froze, his pupils rapidly contracting and his expression twisting violently: What the hell is this crap!

Where did these dogs come from!

No, more like wolves...

But are they really wolves?

Kind of like some kind of Great Evil creation, yet not quite, but then again, it sort of is! It seems right but then wrong, all sorts of jumbled stuff mixed together, constantly changing... Can't really figure out what it is!

Each of them resembles a Mutated Creation, bizarre and varied, the only commonality being their astonishing appetite and uncontrollable hunger.

Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat!

They eat the walls, the floors, devouring evil, even the believers alike!

They eat everything!

Even the confusion of the Unstable Darkness and the illusions crafted by the Wax Demons could not stop them, having no effect at all!

No, they did have an effect, but effective and ineffective seemed almost the same...

Even if ordered to have the Wax Demons transform into their companions' appearances, it made no difference, no matter how real the disguise, no matter how similar the aura and structure, if they were not in the database's record sequence, if they couldn't respond accurately to the dynamic identification codes changing thousands of times per second, they would still charge up and take a bite, trying the taste.

Oh! Brother, you smell delicious! Let me have another taste...

But soon, he found a way to target them, the Unstable Darkness violently writhing, began to erode their consciousness and chaotic souls. The Unfinished's dye spread rapidly through the spiritual link, sowing madness.

These entities, they are one!

They appear completely different, yet originate from the same soul, merely altered into their current forms, and still maintaining connection with each other.

If able to infiltrate them, it could be easy to...

Then, his smile froze on his face.

As if after opening a door, he found a bunch of drooling, red-eyed mad dogs behind it...

In the instant of soul connection, the wolf pack forged from the Disaster Beast Spirit launched a vicious bite towards the approaching soul, a mad dog's chew!

On the face of the main priest, tooth marks appeared one by one, as he let out a scream.

Then, as if plunged into an icy abyss.

He sensed it, that glance suddenly cast from outside the warehouse.

No joy, no anger, no killing intent, nor any evil thought, so calm, yet so... savage!

Like a sword!

"Found you!"

Amid countless noises, the sound of a sword being drawn reverberated!

Like the resonance of trembling strings, spreading and exploding, accompanied by the disintegration of the young man's form, an eerie beast pieced together from blade and sword flashed and disappeared, Rebirth Form·Li Hen Form!

Immediately, boundless Sword Qi erupted, transforming into a vast torrent, directly rushing towards the deepest darkness!

Human and sword as one!

Sword Chapter·Divine Human Joy!

Transforming oneself into a Sword Qi storm, rampaging forward like a sharp blade piercing through, shredding through endless darkness and countless Wax Demons, plunged into the deepest darkness!

The Unstable Darkness suddenly swelled, burst, fragmented.

The main priest in the secret ritual was terrified, almost screaming, trying with all his might to weave illusions, but layers upon layers of illusions shattered under the surging Sword Qi. Pouring his entire spirit to awaken An Ran's consciousness, even merely trying to deflect his attack...

Did it succeed?

It succeeded!

Was it effective?

Not a damn bit!

Every time an error in perception appeared, as self-adjustments under illusion misdirection occurred, the irrationally strong instincts of the White Deer bloodline along with the wolf's ultra-sensitive malicious perception auto-corrected the error, locked on!

Struggling with all his might, he could only delay for one second.

"Help, help, help, help, help, help——"

In that one second, the main priest shouted and wailed, but there was no response, with even no time to pull back for aid, the Unfinished Mutated Transformation nearby just attempted to react, only to be embraced tightly by the frenzied Obsidian Giant!

Regardless of the soul-tearing pain coursing through him, Zhou Richang roared, using all his strength to grasp and hold the enemy close at hand!

Full activation of the Static Zone, lock and freeze.

Couldn't figure out what was going on, but the mutated is definitely the enemy!

[Stop]!

At the other end of the warehouse district, simultaneous with the burst of Unstable Darkness, a Chosen One, who was about to be completely swallowed by flesh, awoke from his dream. Under the Transcendent Vision, he completed his thoughts in an instant and, with all his might, raised his hand to point at the distant Main Priest.

The True Words descended, freezing his last struggle.

Only the overwhelming and violent Sword Qi approached inch by inch, towards his face, causing his expression to completely stiffen, leaving him only to watch helplessly as death came at him.

Until the sound of a sigh appeared.

In the void, a voice shouted irritably.

"Useless!"

Not even able to delay time!

At this moment, the expression of the Main Priest twitched, turning surprise into joy, laughing wildly, as a vague silhouette gradually emerged within the Secret Ritual before him.

Upon its appearance, the Heavenly Yuan Seal completely shattered.

Li Yuqing couldn't even scream, as cracks appeared on his face, falling backward.

At this moment, the silhouette lowered its eyes indifferently, glancing at the Sword Qi close by.

Just by gazing, it caused the Sword Qi to tremble and skew, imbued with awareness and distractions out of thin air, as if possessing thought and consciousness, they scattered, unable to maintain purity.

The melody of the Divine Human Joy was broken, the Sword Qi dissipated, and the sword-holding youth fell from within, pale-faced.

No longer possessing the strength to resist.

But the vague silhouette suddenly paused and then became furious.

Because of the screams from behind!

Not even having time to react, the previously ecstatic Main Priest stiffened on the spot, feeling only a chill in his heart.

A sword blade appeared out of nowhere, piercing his heart.

Li Hen!

Before the state between man and sword was shattered, the Perception from the Wolf had already sensed the incoming malice.

In the final moment, An Ran chose, to fully unleash the long sword in his hand—Heavenly Craft·Li Hen!

Nearly like a leap out of nothingness, the White Deer Sword free from all interference disappeared from his hand, ignoring all obstacles, crossing the last three steps and hitting the target dead center!

The sword chapter evolved, Xuan Ying exploded, completely freezing the Main Priest into an ice sculpture.

Body and spirit destroyed!

In the final moment, amidst despair, he still tried to reach out to the Superior close by for aid... but to his dismay, there was no longer any chance.

The Evil Demon's eyes suddenly turned cold, malice surged like a tide, bursting.

Sadly, there was no chance to strike hard.

Because the Heavenly Rift roared!

The air was so dry it was hard to breathe, as all the moisture within the entire warehouse district instantly gathered, coating the bodies of all Security Bureau members. The Static Zone unfolded.

Consciousness, thought, soul, body, all seemed like insects in amber, completely assimilated by materiality, unable to resist, nor needing to worry about being harmed in the upcoming attack.

Then, overhead, countless Dust gathered, subtly outlining a fist as vast and volatile as a meteor, its five fingers tightly clenched, fiercely pounding down towards the warehouse, striking the stunned Evil Demon mercilessly!

Die!

Boom!!!

With one strike, the ground fractured like an abyss, the entire warehouse district, including the massive underground structures, was obliterated into fragments. The Unfinished Evil Demon had no time to react, smashed into pulp by the descending giant fist.

In the literal sense, into pulp.

Pure substance, pure weight, pure violence!

Omnipresent materiality converged from all directions, shackling it within, thwarting all changes.

Then, another fist descended from the sky!

"You damn..."

The body of the Unfinished Evil Demon suddenly expanded, gushing like a waterfall, spreading, exploding with all its might, defiantly meeting the descending iron fist.

Then, smashed into smithereens once again!

Otherwise?

A lone Weiyang facing the Ruins head-on?

What a dream!

Essentially using its own face against the sole of someone's shoe, at most, delaying for a moment...

But after a moment, when the bearded Kunwu Guardian descended like a meteor, the entire ruinous warehouse district was left only with emptiness.

Escaped!

Whether it was the just defeated Unfinished Evil Demon or the large stockpile of offerings and transformed Meat Stone beneath the warehouse, all disappeared without a trace.

Just like the Polluted Demon evaporated into the air over the Ruins of Spring City, vanishing.

However, this time, even though hastily concealing, ultimately a flaw was exposed...

With the Guardian's flick, countless layers of heavy Dust appeared out of nowhere, dispersed, enveloping the entire area like a developing fluid, dispelling the Evil Demon's camouflaged retreat before unfolding unusualness.

A faint ripple gradually calmed in the void, an abnormal subtle distortion phenomenon, and right at the center, an insignificant fissure rapidly dissipating.

Like a wound bored out by some eerie object, the interior of the crack subtly revealed some strange, ever-changing colors...

"A bug?"

Kunwu Guardian's brow slowly furrowed, almost doubting his eyes.

Soon, his doubt deepened...

Because when the Static Zone was lifted, before his very eyes, a ray of Gao Yuan descended from the void, shining before the critically wounded youth.

White Deer Dominates!

Superior lowered his gaze, calmly scrutinizing the blood on the sword and the follower's spoils, nodding in satisfaction, leaving a blessing behind before turning and leaving.

"...What the heck?"

The Guardian stared blankly, unable to react.

No, what was that?

"Is there a White Deer in the Security Bureau?"

He scratched his unkempt chin, questioning his own sanity.

Oh no!

Is it possible he was really hypnotically hinted by something from Weiyang?!
