On the dark red ground, blood of a deep green slowly gathered into a river, and numerous mysterious corpses piled up like necrotic cells in a human body.
On the battlefield, the longsword in Chi Chen's hand was like a butterfly fluttering and dancing in the air. It seemed incredibly light, but when the longsword struck the mysterious body, it could unleash a terrifying force like a boulder crashing down.
At the same time, the lines at Chi Chen's fingertips were sometimes soft and sometimes hard, cutting through the mysterious body that was attacking him time and time again, taking away one mysterious life after another.
It had only been about an hour since Chi Chen joined the battle and rushed to the center of the battlefield, but at this moment, there were at least nearly a hundred mysterious creatures piled up around him.
Moreover, there are quite a few mysterious figures among them who have reached the Ascension Realm. For a Solid Mirror Realm ability user, such a brilliant record is enough to make even those minor Star Radiance Realm big shots in the distance feel a chill run down their spines.
The Flowing Cloud Squad, which was wreaking havoc in the mysterious group of Star Radiance Realm in the distance, naturally noticed the situation on Chi Chen's side. According to the rules, a special squad can accommodate a maximum of nine members, and their squad was just short one person.
"Captain, that kid is going to be amazing if he grows up!"
"So, Captain, did you go to the Commander afterwards and ask him to come back?"
All eyes in the group turned to a tall, resolute-looking middle-aged man in his forties.
"Are you guys out of your minds? Trying to snatch someone from Zhang Rong's hands? Don't you know what happened to that kid? Those guys in Shangjing District have been arguing about him for ages, and what happened in the end? He was still taken back to Luan Ning District by Zhang Rong, wasn't he?"
Looking at Chi Chen's frenzied fighting state, it was impossible for the middle-aged man not to have any thoughts about Chi Chen. However, he had known about Chi Chen for a long time. Even Xiao Rulai had handed Chi Chen over to Zhang Rong. Not to mention them, even the strongest of the five special teams, the Divine Sealing Team, would not be able to get Chi Chen away from Zhang Rong.
Then the middle-aged man looked up at the dark domain high in the sky and frowned. Even though it was shrouded by the Asura Domain, the earth-shattering battle fluctuations inside could still be clearly heard. It was clear that Zhang Rong and Kalba inside had fought to an extremely fierce degree.
Although at this moment, in the other key battlefields, with the cooperation of the two powerful figures at the Moon Realm, Entu An has already shown an inevitable defeat. The Flame Demon is also fighting fiercely with another Moon Realm expert, and it can be said that they are evenly matched. Xin Sha is being suppressed by Han Jin, and his momentum is gradually declining. It seems that defeat is only a matter of time.
On the ground, the largest battlefield, although the number of mysterious groups is more than ten times that of the Secret Slayer Bureau, the number of mysterious individuals with forbidden abilities is still small. Thanks to the bravery of the Secret Slayer Bureau members, although the Secret Slayer Bureau has also suffered considerable losses, it can still barely hold on.
Aside from the battle between Zhang Rong and Kalba, the Secret Bureau has generally gained the upper hand in this long-planned campaign.
Everyone present knew that the most crucial point of this battle was whether Zhang Rong could stop Kalba from advancing to the Shengyang realm. If Zhang Rong succeeded, they would have a chance of victory, but if Zhang Rong failed, they would have no choice but to retreat or even face total annihilation.
Even if Zhang Rong prevented Kalba's promotion, if Zhang Rong lost his life because of it, the situation would be extremely difficult for the Great Xia to accept.
"If only that person could lend a hand!"
The captain of the Flowing Cloud Squad sighed inwardly, knowing that he could only think about it. That person was already injured and was the only remaining guardian of Great Xia. If that person were to aggravate his injuries by acting rashly, further shortening his already limited lifespan, then the situation facing Great Xia would only become more difficult. After all, the enemies facing Great Xia were not only the Heretical Forbidden Zone and these five, no, now only four of the King-type Mysteries remained.
As the captain of the Flowing Cloud Squad, the middle-aged man clearly knew more secrets than ordinary people. In the present world, it seems that humanity and the mysterious are even on equal footing, and humanity has even gained the upper hand. However, only a few people know what kind of situation the world will face in the near future.
"Keep an eye on Chi Chen. If he's about to collapse, send some men to protect him and get him back. He can't die here!"
The middle-aged man shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions. Now was not the time to think about the future; he needed to finish this battle first.
Outside the battlefield, Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Lin Ling, who had been rushing to the front lines, finally arrived at the place where Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao had been before, after expending most of their spiritual energy.
"Um?"
Lin Bai and the other two stopped and looked at Hu Miaomiao, whose gaze remained fixed on the distant battlefield. Even when the three of them were behind Hu Miaomiao, she did not turn her head to look at them.
This made Lin Bai and the other two a little strange.
Are these people from the Secret Bureau?
Why are you just watching from afar?
However, the three of them were only puzzled for a short while before they stopped paying attention to Hu Miaomiao and turned their gaze to the battlefield in the distance, their expressions instantly changing.
In the distance, a dark domain covering a considerable space emanated battle fluctuations that made their hearts tremble. On the ground, the enormous bodies of the Flame Demon and Entuan also shocked Lin Bai and his companions. The dense, mysterious swarm that kept attacking the Secret Bureau Expeditionary Team was also visually striking. All of this combined would make anyone who saw it feel a sense of dread.
"That's...Chi Chen!! He's not dead, he really isn't dead, Brother Qing!"
Suddenly, even though they were far apart, Lin Bai's gaze kept moving, and he spotted Chi Chen's figure constantly wielding his sword amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Qing Sheng also focused his attention and looked. Sure enough, even though he couldn't see very clearly, Chi Chen, who had activated his battle domain, was highly recognizable on the battlefield. Qing Sheng spotted Chi Chen at a glance. Their decision to come here was indeed the right one.
"Let's hurry over there, Brother Qing!"
Lin Bai couldn't wait to join the battle and provide support.
Although Lin Ling remained silent standing to the side, the anger in her eyes revealed her desire to join the battle immediately.
Lu Sheng's original team is now down to just Lin Ling. In that battle, Lu Sheng died protecting them at the last moment, and Wu Gang and Qiu Yuan also died in the mysterious group. If Lin Ling hadn't been teleported away at the end, she would have followed in Lu Sheng's footsteps.
The deaths of Lu Sheng and the others were an extremely heavy blow to Lin Ling. If it weren't for Lin Bai and Qing Sheng's company these past few days, and Lin Ling's obsession with killing the mysterious figure to avenge Lu Sheng and the others, she would have already collapsed.
Upon hearing this, Qing Sheng hesitated slightly. After all, they had exhausted a lot of their mental energy traveling here, and their condition was not very good at the moment. It wasn't that Qing Sheng was afraid of dying or anything, but he felt that if the three of them went to that battlefield in their current state, they might not be of much help. It would be better for them to recover a bit and go when they were in better condition.
However, sensing the state of the two people beside him, Qingsheng could only sigh softly in his heart and nod in agreement.
"You know Chi Chen?"
Just as the three were about to head to the battlefield, Hu Miaomiao turned to look at them and asked.
"We are his companions. Who are you? Do you know him?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately stopped and looked at Hu Miaomiao with a puzzled expression. He had no idea that Chi Chen knew such a beautiful woman; he had never seen her before!
But soon, Lin Bai realized something was wrong. This was outside the city walls, so how could this person dare to stay here alone?
Could it be someone from another team?
But that still doesn't make sense. Why didn't she participate in the battle?
Lin Bai didn't believe the expedition team would bring out an ordinary person.
Could it be?
Suddenly, Lin Bai and Qing Sheng exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other was thinking.
It's only been a few days, and Chi Chen has already brought a young wife from who-knows-where?
While they were fighting desperately outside the wall, Chi Chen was talking about love.
"My name is Hu Miaomiao. I met him on the road. Are you going over there too?"
Hu Miaomiao looked at the three of them and asked.
"Um!"
Lin Bai gave a brief self-introduction to the three of them, and then nodded in response.
They don't have much time to worry about what's going on with Hu Miaomiao right now. They should get to the battlefield first and find Chi Chen, then they'll know everything.
Upon hearing this, Hu Miaomiao lowered her head and fell silent for some reason. After a while, she looked up at the three of them, as if she had made a decision, and said:
"If you really want to go there, I can take you directly to his side. I'd like to go with you too!"
"Um?"
Lin Bai and the other two were stunned upon hearing this. Why were they sent directly to Chi Chen's side?
The next moment, Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Lin Ling stared wide-eyed at the shadow gate that had appeared out of nowhere, finally understanding what Hu Miaomiao meant.
...
On the battlefield, Chi Chen was panting heavily. His body was already covered with sweat and blood, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.
Although the support of the Battle Saint's Will made Chi Chen's spiritual power seem inexhaustible on the battlefield, such a long and intense battle was not as easy as it looked.
Chi Chen's glorious achievement of slaying over a hundred mysterious creatures was earned through countless strikes with his constantly tense nerves and body. The human body always has its limits. Even with the constant healing power of the Rejuvenation of All Things, Chi Chen was still experiencing fatigue and pain. Even machines cannot maintain a high level of precision indefinitely, let alone humans.
"Plop!"
Chi Chen raised his already aching arm and forced back several mysterious creatures in front of him with another slash. Looking at the mysterious corpses scattered all around him, despite his exhaustion, Chi Chen had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Chi Chen sensed something and looked up sharply. He was stunned by the people in front of him, but soon a genuine smile appeared on his face.
"Chi Chen, have you missed your brother?"
Lin Bai spoke, tossed his head, and with a flamboyant snap of his fingers, several Annihilation Stones exploded from the mysterious group that was attacking him, instantly creating a scene of severed limbs flying everywhere.
Qing Sheng smiled at Chi Chen, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and more than ten mysterious figures from the Solid Mirror realm instantly collapsed to the ground.
Why did you come here?
Chi Chen ignored Lin Bai's wicked and flamboyant manner and instead looked at Hu Miaomiao, his brows furrowing slightly. In Chi Chen's understanding, Hu Miaomiao's ability was the Shadow Gate that allowed her to teleport over long distances. Even if she had reached the Ascended Realm, her combat strength shouldn't be that high. This kind of battle scene was not a place for her to be. Most importantly, she had no reason to join this battle.
"Hmph, I came whenever I wanted, it's definitely not because of you. Besides, you look down on me? I've told you so many times, I'm very capable!"
Hu Miaomiao looked at Chi Chen's furrowed brows and raised her own eyebrows. Why does Chi Chen always act like he's weak? Is he the only one who's powerful?
Hu Miaomiao looked around at the mysterious corpses piled up.
Yes, he is indeed quite capable.
Upon seeing this, Lin Bai's expression immediately changed.
Alright, so there's definitely something going on. You've forgotten the old ones for the new ones, haven't you?
"Get your head shut! This isn't the time to be distracted!"
Seeing Lin Bai's appearance, Chi Chen was speechless and killed the mysterious creature behind him that wanted to take the opportunity to attack.
Seeing this, Lin Bai also abandoned his pointless thoughts and focused on joining the battle.
With the addition of Lin Bai and the other two, Chi Chen's pressure was instantly reduced. Especially with Qing Sheng, who had already stepped into the Ascension Realm, even though he couldn't directly deprive the Ascension Realm's mysterious life force on a spiritual level, Chi Chen could simply reap the rewards from the illusionary realms that Qing Sheng created for those Ascension Realm beings.
"Hu Miaomiao, you just..."
Just as Chi Chen was about to speak up and remind Hu Miaomiao to stay by his side and not to make any rash moves...
Amidst everyone's shocked expressions, Hu Miaomiao pulled out a spiked mace from somewhere and held it in her hand, then flashed behind a mysterious figure at the Ascension Realm.
"Pfft!"
The spiked club fell, the mysterious head exploded, and behind the bloody green spray, Hu Miaomiao's expression remained completely calm.
"Chi Chen, what were you trying to say just now?"
Hu Miaomiao dodged a mysterious attack from behind by sidestepping to the side, her bright almond-shaped eyes looking at Chi Chen, waiting for him to continue.
"Uh...it's nothing, I just wanted to say be careful!"
Chi Chen's lips twitched. Well, he had really underestimated people.
This Hu Miaomiao can't be judged by common sense; she's a real ruthless person.
Suddenly, Chi Chen looked up at the sky, and then his pupils shrank sharply. There, the originally dense, dark Asura domain gradually dissipated, and the Asura energy converged towards a single point.
Across the battlefield, Han Jin, Xin Sha, Yan Mo, several powerful figures at the Ruoyue Realm, and En Tu An all simultaneously ceased their attacks and looked up at higher places.
Is the battle finally about to be decided?
