The World’s Will

Yang An and the others shouted frantically, “Aren’t you going to deal with those Dark Ones? Why are you chasing us!”

“That group of people down there doesn’t have the ability to stop the Dark Ones’ slaughter!”

As Yang An and the others roared, they didn’t forget to look back at the three people chasing them.

Right now, among the three of them, only Han Chen still had the strength to fight.

Yang An and Qi Yu had already been beaten half to death.

If they kept fighting like this, they would be killed in less than two minutes.

They had thought that Shi Yidie’s group would definitely go to kill the Dark Ones first.

With a dozen Dark Ones moving together, unless a Second Form warrior came to break their formation, it would be impossible to break through.

And being unable to break the Dark Ones’ formation meant they couldn’t use their numerical advantage to encircle and kill them.

Even if they could eliminate that group of Dark Ones, the number of casualties would definitely not be small!

On the battlefield, during a large-scale annihilation of Dark Ones, a top-tier Initial Form warrior or a Second Form warrior would lead the charge to break the formation.

The following soldiers would then take advantage of the opening to separate the Dark Ones.

Basically, it took nearly ten soldiers to surround one Dark One to prevent them from supporting each other.

If they had to face two Dark Ones at once, and couldn’t separate them, the number of people participating in the encirclement would increase exponentially, and the risk of casualties would also rise dramatically.

If there were Moon-tier Dark Ones, they would be even more difficult to deal with.

It would take about fifty ordinary soldiers to possibly kill one Moon-tier Dark One, but it was more likely they would be completely wiped out.

If Moon-tier Dark Ones appeared in groups, it would be a devastating blow to a group of ordinary soldiers without any top-tier or Second Form warriors present.

After all, the opponents of Moon-tier Dark Ones were mainly Second Form warriors, or top-tier Initial Form warriors.

And with the appearance of those twelve Dark Ones, five of which were Moon-tier, how could the group of people outside possibly resist?

Not to mention there were cultists inside causing trouble.

If they didn’t want more soldiers to make useless sacrifices, as high-level combatants, Shi Yidie and her team had to go and hold back the Dark Ones.

Otherwise, the group of Huaya soldiers below would suffer a massive number of deaths!

Following closely behind them, Shi Yidie looked at the three panicked figures and said with an excited expression, “The Captain is here. Those few Dark Ones won’t be able to make any waves.”

The three cultist Guardians didn’t know who the “Captain” she spoke of was, but he was certainly a very strong existence.

Otherwise, this woman who had been suppressing Yang An wouldn’t have said it with such a worshipful tone.

Five Moon-tier and seven Star-tier; even a veteran Second Form warrior could meet their end.

Yang An and the others could only brace themselves and continue to glide through the air, hoping to use the cover of night to escape their pursuers.

The gold-red battle saber swung.

Several Dark Ones that had charged out of the villa were sliced in half and fell to the ground.

A few minutes later, as if they had been soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid, they sizzled and disappeared from the ground, leaving only their black metal armor and weapons.

The reason Dark Ones dissolved after death, according to the most mainstream theory, was the rejection by the world’s will.

The matter that constituted the Dark Ones did not exist in this world.

Dark Ones were beings from another world.

After invading the world where humans resided, their very existence was rejected by the human world, just like bacteria invading a human body would be eliminated by the immune system.

While the Dark Ones were alive, they could use certain methods to achieve a form of camouflage, deceiving the world’s will.

When they died, they would be directly obliterated.

But their special alloy and source energy were preserved.

The specific reason for this was temporarily unknown to humans, but what was known was that the existence of the special alloy and source energy played a crucial role in humanity’s resistance.

Some believed that this might be the world’s will considering the existence of these things beneficial to it, just like many other microorganisms live as parasites in the human body.

But these were all just speculations.

To this day, no special alloy mines or Black Energy Stone mines have ever been discovered on Blue Star.

If such mines existed, humanity’s war of resistance would advance another step.

And the man who had instantly killed the Dark Ones did not stop his pace; he continued to go deeper inside.

‘Was my little brother captured and brought in here?’

The youth thought as he walked.

He hadn’t seen his younger brother in many years and even had trouble remembering what he looked like.

When was the last time they met?

It seemed to be the day Su Xuan awakened his Phantom Soul.

He had gone to the scene and watched from a distance.

Then, after returning home, he only left a few energy stones for Su Xuan, a sign that he had once been there.

Dark Ones were pouring out from inside, which made the situation in there worrisome.

Even Su Chen, a veteran of many battles, could not remain calm.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, it was very likely that he was still a step too late.

The Dark Ones were filled with hatred for the native life of Blue Star.

They would make a certain judgment on any life they saw, eliminating those they believed posed a certain threat.

And this judgment range was very broad and could not be predicted.

Some creatures they wouldn’t kill, but a few days later, they would kill them.

Praying that the Dark Ones would turn a blind eye and let Su Xuan escape the fate of being attacked was clearly not something Su Chen would do.

Su Chen quickened his pace.

The villa, which looked only slightly dilapidated from the outside, was completely wrecked on the inside.

The impact from the pillar of light that had shot up into the sky had smashed the villa to pieces.

After walking a few steps, another Dark One appeared, and it was followed by several Moon-tier ones.

If it were an ordinary Second Form warrior, they could only curse at how troublesome this was.

But for Su Chen, it was not a difficult matter.

The gold-red long saber was covered in mysterious patterns.

As energy particles were channeled into the blade, it emitted a brilliance like the morning dawn.

Su Chen, who was already moving at extreme speed, did not slow down.

He passed by the several Dark Ones without losing any speed.

The Dark Ones raised the pillar-swords in their hands and swung them to the side, but they hit nothing.

Their own bodies were already disintegrating.

The Moon-tier Dark Ones were also obliterated by him just like that.

The time it took to kill the three Dark Ones was only a matter of seconds.

Su Chen, emitting a faint gold-red glow, continued to walk deeper inside.

“Huff… huff…”

“Crack… crack…”

Su Chen became alert.

Someone was running.

He didn’t know who it was, but they were being chased by a Dark One.
