Chapter 234: You said, can I see you!
Chapter 234: You said, can I see you!
Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens, "I really didn't do anything this time... I just wanted to lead my junior brothers and sisters in a big 'Congratulations and Prosperity' chorus."After all, my junior brothers and sisters came all this way and got nothing. If they don't even learn a song to take back, wouldn't that be a letdown for them?
I just wanted to have a big sing-along in this dull and tasteless ruin. Who did I provoke?
But just as we were singing "bad things go away," suddenly a gray barrier appeared in front of us. What the hell is this?
Wasn't this supposed to be a godforsaken place?
Soon, Chu Xinghe saw what was behind the barrier.
It was a village... a village shrouded in a black mist, looming faintly.
The village looked lifeless, filled with silence and eeriness.
As he slowly approached, Chu Xinghe started praying in his heart, "Don't mess with me... wasn't Dark Moon City supposed to be the center? What is this village?"
"Don't suddenly fill this village with exotic treasures, okay?"
But just as Chu Xinghe was praying for nothing weird to happen, a black mist suddenly drifted out from the village, moving so fast that it almost instantly reached the head of one of the junior brothers at the front.
The mist pounced on the junior brother like a shark that had smelled blood.
"Retreat!" Chu Xinghe shouted, his arm flashing with white light as Quelling Evil shot out into the air.
The token-like Quelling Evil flickered and appeared beside the junior brother in an instant. The divine light of Quelling Evil burst forth, shattering the sinister black mist on the spot.
However, as this black mist shattered, the other mists seemed to be enraged, surging out and enveloping everyone.
Watching the crazed black mist, Chu Xinghe commanded Quelling Evil to block it while joyfully pulling out the Flute of Time and Space.
Ever since leaving the labyrinth, he had been thinking about finding a suitable excuse to crush the Flute of Time and Space and leave.
After all, leaving without any danger seemed a bit unreasonable, right?
On the way to Dark Moon City, Chu Xinghe was almost cursing...
What kind of bullshit ruin is this? If there was any danger, I would have crushed the Flute of Time and Space immediately, but what does it mean to have no danger at all?
But now, heaven finally opened its eyes...
This black mist looks like it's not to be trifled with, right? For the safety of my junior brothers and sisters, crushing the Flute of Time and Space to leave is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?
What are we waiting for?
Without hesitation, Chu Xinghe used Quelling Evil to protect everyone and crushed the Flute of Time and Space in the next second!
"Buzz..." White light exploded from the Flute of Time and Space, instantly enveloping everyone.
The light of teleportation shot into the sky, and without the Nine Stars Concentric Formation to contain it, nothing could stop the teleportation.
Soon, the teleportation activated...
In a flash of white light, Chu Xinghe felt his whole body twist, and the next second...
The surroundings... didn't seem to change at all?
The village was still the village... the barrier was still the barrier... the black mist... was still the black mist?
What the hell is this? Is this another teleportation on the spot?
What kind of bullshit Flute of Time and Space is this? Was it created just to mess with me?
But soon, Chu Xinghe realized that this time it wasn't a teleportation on the spot, because... why did that area not far away look so familiar?
Of course, it looked familiar! Wasn't that where we were just standing? Look, the black mist over there is still drifting...
And now, the place where everyone was... wasn't it inside the barrier?
So... the teleportation of the Flute of Time and Space succeeded, but the landing point was a bit ridiculous... we directly teleported from outside the barrier to inside the barrier?
So now we're inside the village?
Not only was Chu Xinghe stunned, but the junior brothers and sisters were also stunned...
"Senior Brother Xinghe... can you explain what's going on?"
Not to mention the junior brothers and sisters, even the black mist paused for a few seconds, completely unable to react... what does this reverse teleportation mean?
Soon, Chu Xinghe realized it wasn't the Flute of Time and Space that had a problem, it was this damn village...
He could clearly see the teleportation trajectory; the Flute of Time and Space was supposed to take everyone away, but at the moment the teleportation activated, an inexplicable force altered the teleportation path, causing them to land inside this village.
"Quelling Evil! Attack!" Chu Xinghe couldn't care less, swinging Quelling Evil towards the barrier. Since the Flute of Time and Space couldn't take everyone away, they might as well break through the barrier first.
But when Quelling Evil struck the barrier, something unbelievable happened to Chu Xinghe.
It was clear that this barrier wasn't normal, and Quelling Evil should have a restraining effect, but even though Quelling Evil restrained the barrier, it couldn't shake it at all.
It felt like water could extinguish fire, but what if it was a drop of water against a sea of fire?
The power of the barrier was too strong, and his cultivation level was too low, so Quelling Evil couldn't exert its top effect and couldn't shatter the barrier.
The surrounding black mist also reacted, transforming into thousands of tendrils, madly attacking everyone from all directions.
Unable to continue shaking the black mist, Chu Xinghe directed Quelling Evil to hover above everyone, its divine light blooming, instantly blocking all the black mist outside.
"Crush the Flute of Time and Space!" Chu Xinghe shouted to everyone, and in an instant, white lights flashed continuously.
But soon, something unbelievable happened. All the white light dissipated as soon as it touched the black mist; the Flute of Time and Space couldn't break through the black mist's blockade.
The junior brothers and sisters, who hadn't seen much of the world, were already panicking.
"Why panic! These black mists can't penetrate Quelling Evil's barrier; we're safe."
With Chu Xinghe's words, the panic around subsided a lot. At this moment, Chu Xinghe was helpless. If I had known this ruin would turn out like this, I would have definitely brought Ma Liang and the others...
Although they are extremely good at backstabbing, they never have accidents. This group of junior brothers and sisters isn't good at backstabbing, but accidents keep happening one after another.
Fortunately, Quelling Evil was strong enough, and its divine light could continuously block all the attacking black mist, keeping everyone safe for now.
Chu Xinghe looked towards the village behind him, this lifeless village now seemed like a demonic beast ready to devour people, but there was no choice; there was nowhere else to go but this village.
After resting for a few minutes and waiting for everyone's emotions to stabilize, Chu Xinghe led the group towards the village.
Soon, they reached the entrance of the village, and the black mist became denser, enveloping the entire village. At the end of the mist, it seemed like something terrifying could jump out at any moment.
"Flying Locust!" Sword light flickered, Flying Locust split into sword shadows, and in an instant, a floating Absolute Light Formation formed, protecting everyone within it, while the Hanging Shears Sword Wings attached to his body for protection.
But just as the formation formed, something that made Chu Xinghe's scalp tingle happened.
The newly formed Absolute Light Formation suddenly started operating on its own...
This was a sign of an enemy, but the problem was... Chu Xinghe looked around carefully, and there was no sign of any enemy.
Could it be a ghost? But that didn't make sense either; Quelling Evil was still emitting divine light above. Ordinary ghosts couldn't possibly escape Quelling Evil's coverage, right?
What, are there emperor-level ghosts here?
Chu Xinghe once again activated Quelling Evil to release divine light, trying to see if something was really hidden. But before he could act, an almost imperceptible ripple appeared at his neck.
It was a knife... an invisible knife... The knife instantly cut through the skin of Chu Xinghe's neck, but just as it was about to slice his throat, countless sword beams erupted from Chu Xinghe's body.
Hanging Shears Sword Wings!
The terrifying sword wings burst forth, directly knocking the invisible knife away, but even so, Chu Xinghe broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he had hidden the Hanging Shears Sword Wings on himself earlier, or that knife might have taken his life.
The sword wings clashed with the invisible knife in the air several times, but apart from the feeling of collision, there was no sign of anyone.
He had heard the Great Elder say that some people in the world could use invisibility techniques to assassinate, but who had ever heard of an invisibility technique that could get face-to-face without being discovered?
What the hell is this thing?
Without time to think, Chu Xinghe held nothing back!
Thunder Shadow! White Rainbow! Out!
All the Divine Swords from the Grand Sky Sword Box flew out, and Chu Xinghe unleashed his full power.
But just as White Rainbow flew out, a scene that left Chu Xinghe dumbfounded occurred.
When White Rainbow flew out, a faint light wave, visible only to him, rippled out, and as the wave passed, a shadow appeared around him, gradually revealing its form under the light wave.
It was a person shrouded in darkness, standing less than half a meter away from him, almost face-to-face!
And the knife in his hand... was clearly the one that almost took his life earlier.
Chu Xinghe looked at this person, utterly shocked that someone could be so close without him noticing!
But while Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded, the other person was even more so.
When Chu Xinghe first looked at him, he didn't think much of it, but when Chu Xinghe looked him up and down, he was stunned.
"You... can see me?"
"Smack..." Chu Xinghe answered his question with a big slap.
Do you think I can't see you? You're right in my face!
As he slapped the face-close man away, Chu Xinghe's Hanging Shears Sword Wings transformed into countless sword shadows, sweeping towards the opponent. In an instant, countless sword shadows pierced through his body, and in mid-air, Chu Xinghe turned him into a sieve with the Hanging Shears Sword Wings.
But just as Chu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, the guy who had been turned into a sieve rolled on the ground and stood up again?
What kind of monster is this? It's not dead yet?
Before Chu Xinghe could figure it out, the sieve-like guy shouted, "He can see me... he can see me! Hahaha... he can see me!"
And with his shout, countless figures converged from all directions.
Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded... What the hell is this?
And... do you all have such unique ways of calling for backup?
