Chaos Descends

Su Xuan collapsed to the ground, his back against the pitch-black altar.

His faint life force was being absorbed by the endless dark metal of the structure.

The black altar seemed to become much brighter, and streams of light flashed across its dark patterns.

Wang Xiang, holding his sword, slowly approached Su Xuan.

His dry mouth opened and closed, “Although I don’t know what kind of genius you are, this is where it ends!”

A withered palm slowly reached for Su Xuan.

Su Xuan’s breathing became chaotic.

The flow of energy particles in his body, which had been disrupted by the impact, quickly returned to normal.

His Life Source Energy burned frantically as if it cost nothing.

Su Xuan bit his bright red lips, seemingly unwilling to be defeated so easily.

But in the face of such a huge gap in strength, success was truly difficult.

He could only stall, stall for time.

Wang Xiang, closing in on Su Xuan, was like a perverted old man, his eyes glinting with greed, enjoying the stubbornness beneath that beautiful face.

A victor’s joy surged in his heart.

If he hadn’t investigated the background materials beforehand, who would have known that this stunning beauty was actually a boy?

Perhaps because Su Xuan was a boy, Wang Xiang felt that personally destroying his pride as a man would be an absolutely wonderful thing.

Because he was a boy, the charm he exuded was incomparably wonderful, uniquely beautiful.

Looking at the lovely Su Xuan before him, countless images flashed through the victor Wang Xiang’s mind.

But all of that would have to wait until after he had summoned the Dark Ones and escaped the city.

Su Xuan, at this moment in Wang Xiang’s eyes, was an excellent trophy that would be the icing on the cake.

Perhaps he was thinking too much, completely failing to notice the altar’s strangeness.

Or perhaps his eyes could only see that wonderful body, with no room for anything else.

It seemed to have absorbed enough life force, or perhaps an intelligent being in another world had sensed something.

With no one operating it, the altar suddenly erupted with a massive radiance, bursting through the villa and the dark night.

The six people engaged in a fierce battle on the rooftop suddenly sensed something.

They quickly retreated to the side.

A pillar of light shot up into the sky, instantly standing erect.

The sight left the Inspection Bureau soldiers stunned, and even Wang Xiang, Yang An, and the other three cultists were at a loss.

This was completely different from the time they had set.

The group of Dark Ones that had arrived had clearly not come through communication.

Therefore, this group of Dark Ones was not the one the cult wanted.

This group had come to this place with the sole purpose of conquest.

However, the cultists engaged in the chaotic battle outside were unaware.

They didn’t know that this group of Dark Ones was not their ally, but a group of butchers.

On a highway several miles away, a cold-faced youth with black hair and a gold-red saber was rushing towards the villa at high speed.

And inside that villa, in the no-longer-dim basement, one pitch-black footstep after another emerged from the pillar of light.

The moment the pillar of light erupted, Wang Xiang had leaped backwards, warily watching the prematurely activated altar.

Su Xuan also took the opportunity to dodge to the side, trying his best to get away from both Wang Xiang and the altar.

Turning his head, Su Xuan saw a living Dark One for the first time.

They were humanoid creatures, mostly two to three meters tall, and very robust.

They wore a layer of black armor, their crimson eyes glowed, and they held special-alloy weapons that looked like pillar-swords.

The pillar-swords had countless outward-slanting blades; once caught by one, life or death would be uncertain.

In an instant, twelve of them walked out.

Five of them were even more burly, and they had crescent-moon-like black protrusions on their cheeks.

They seemed to be observing their surroundings, like astronauts disembarking from a spaceship, curiously sizing up a strange new world.

After standing motionless for about ten seconds, they moved.

Soon, these massive monsters were running at an incredible speed.

Their burly figures were not the least bit clumsy in the strange terrain of countless broken stones; on the contrary, they were extremely agile.

Su Xuan ran frantically, but the energy particles in his body were long since depleted.

Due to the massive use of energy, his cells were already in a state of overload.

Right now, Su Xuan only felt weak all over and could only rely on his willpower to maintain his fleeing pace.

The one chasing Su Xuan was just a Star-marked Dark One.

However, even against the lowest-ranking Dark One, Su Xuan was helpless.

Wang Xiang’s situation was much worse.

The Dark Ones had clearly judged him to be far more dangerous than Su Xuan, so two of them were chasing him.

The group of captured students, who seemed lifeless, were completely ignored, perhaps because their auras were too weak.

Of the remaining nine, six charged out of the villa towards the outside, while the remaining three stood guard by the altar, as if protecting it.

On the rooftop, the three great Guardians of the cult seemed to want to retreat.

They knew that the Life Source Energy they had imagined was now unattainable.

That group of Dark Ones was just a traded-for batch that didn’t distinguish between friend or foe.

Yang An and the others exchanged a look and suddenly burst out with power.

Even Han Chen, who had been watching the show from the sky out of caution towards Fang Han, unleashed his techniques.

It was clear they were about to retreat.

And Fang Han, the bluffer, seeing Han Chen suddenly get serious, immediately started running outwards, shouting, “Time to skedaddle~”

Only then did Han Chen’s face turn shades of green and red, realizing he had been tricked.

But there was nothing he could do.

Those who had to retreat, had to retreat.

Seeing the three retreat, Shi Yidie’s group of three was debating whether to give chase when they suddenly saw a person rushing over from a distance.

The three of them immediately set off in pursuit of the escapees.
