Chapter 147: The Great Demons Gather

Similar events were unfolding simultaneously at the Demon Hunting Guild and the Omsk Chamber of Commerce.

Though not as ruthless as Zhang Chao, the Cult of Nature had previously leveraged their unique methods to mobilize various factions—both dormant forces they had planted and those they could influence—with the sole purpose of destabilizing them from within.

At such a juncture, not everyone chose to act with Zhang Chao's absolute resolution, but after allowing them to stir up trouble for the past few days, everyone carried out internal purges.

When the few of them had first fled to this place, the townspeople had treated them with great warmth, filling them with gratitude. However, they soon realized something was amiss; while these people appeared extremely friendly, they constantly restricted their range of movement.

Another soldier advised, "Oh, forget it. Didn't you see how he's trying to make amends now? It's too late, and there's no point in chasing them anyway. Even if we catch up, are we going to get the silver back or not?"

You Jian felt a few clues stirring in his mind; it seemed that people of this sort had indeed existed in a certain era, and they had used the exact same rhetoric.

After resting for a full night, Qi Yu adjusted his state to peak condition. It was time to consume that evolutionary fruit. The crisp and sweet fruit was swallowed down in just a couple of bites.

At this moment, the dozens of people trapped in the Sea of Necrotic Blood suddenly realized that their two leaders were dead beyond all doubt. Catching sight of Yun Xiao's cold expression, their hearts shattered with terror. Sensing the approach of death, they abandoned all futile resistance and fled frantically in every direction.

Anun Eiko let out a few shy, whimpering sounds, not knowing what to say. Her slender legs wrapped around Qi Yu's waist like a white snake, rubbing against him gently, which once again kindled his desire. Refusing to suppress such urges, he flipped over and pinned Anun Eiko beneath him once more.

"What should we do then? If we don't kill it now, I won't be able to leave either." Liu Yi spoke while channeling his internal energy, preparing to instantly obliterate this demonic beast.

Chen Jing had been terrified by the sudden turn of events. He had originally thought that [Crystal Zero], with its seemingly low offensive power, was merely brought out to block attacks, but now it was clear that was not the case at all.

As the crowd snapped back to their senses, the powerful cultivators among them also detected a trace of anomaly. Of course, there were still many low-level cultivators who remained completely unaware that they had been caught in an illusion.

For two martial arts obsessives, this reason was naturally a welcome one. The monk and the Daoist returned to the flagship; although they didn't get to watch Taoist Nun Xiangyin put on a display, watching brave women grapple with the men proved to be a thoroughly lively spectacle.

"That's right, this is a cave we dug out to hide from Boss Yan. Although it's a bit crude, its concealment is extraordinary!" Xu Ziling said as he looked back, while Kou Zhong patted his shoulder and smoothly slipped inside.

The sword dance shattered the spells and magical artifacts of the Jade Monk from Tianlong Temple, slashed open his chest, and blasted him backward. Then, with a flash, it pierced straight through Zhou Bentong's body, the sword hilt carrying him as he violently flew back in reverse.

Yet the familiar voice that suddenly echoed in his mind caused Deutschland, currently lost in fantasy, to shudder. He hurriedly plunged his consciousness back into the mental link.

Back then, Bai Hengco, who had fought with Li Shi, relied solely on the Rifting Sky Fist and White Rainbow Footwork to roam unhindered through the Spirit Awakening stage, rarely even encountering a match, which was why he had never developed a decisive killing move for that stage.

A flash of annoyance crossed his face, and his expression turned exasperated. He never expected Han Chen to pull such a trick on him. The token that was already firmly within his grasp had just slipped away from him like that.

The flood dragon let out a long, resonant roar and lunged forward into the black hole, its massive serpentine body instantly passing through it. The surrounding space darkened, only to brighten again in the blink of an eye.

The Asherah cat lay there, looking aggrieved as Luo Yu went to retrieve the badminton equipment. Moving the gear aside, Luo Yu discovered a basin of cat food hidden underneath.

"A smoke generator?" Fei Yu watched the heavy load device mounted on the aircraft with a surprised expression, but after just a momentary hesitation, she formulated a countermeasure. The few remaining anti-air cannons began to roar, blanketing the carrier-based aircraft with a dense barrage of fire.
