The Zhang Yun couple, who were originally destined to lose, had their fate reversed instantly thanks to Fang Kai's intervention.
Looking at Gu Mingyue, who was standing on the periphery of the battle, splitting hundreds of crescent-shaped flying knives, and Xinghe beside her, Zou Shaoyun felt the urge to retreat.
"Fang Kai, stop hitting! The safety officers down the mountain will be drawn here soon," Zou Shaoyun shouted, frowning.
"Our real battlefield is in the Black Domain."
"What? We'll finish this before the safety officer arrives, and this will become the real battlefield?" Fang Kai said, confused, but his ice spikes hit the target very accurately.
"Damn it, I bet you're just pretending not to understand!" Zou Shaoyun was also enraged by Fang Kai's words and no longer suppressed his supernatural abilities, fiercely retorting.
When nearly a hundred superhumans fight, their destructive power is astonishing.
Already situated on a volcanic crater, its fragile lava defenses couldn't withstand such onslaught.
They quickly blasted out several new lava trails.
Several members of the Jackal Gang had intended to push the Triumph Team members into the lava.
Xinghe caught the space barrier steadily, then flipped it over, pushing those wicked people directly over. In the end, they were caught in their own trap, and their bones were burned to ashes by the scalding magma.
The security personnel, who hadn't originally intended to get involved in the battle in the Black Domain, rushed to find their leader when they saw that the crater seemed about to collapse.
Gu Mingyue helped Fang Kai kill most of the Jackal Gang members. Just as they were about to wipe them all out, the security guard and their leader climbed onto the large platform on the ridge of the volcano's edge.
He was an old man in his seventies or eighties with gray hair and a hunched back.
Yet this old man controlled the entire security zone spanning over ten kilometers outside the Black Domain.
He is a level 5 late-stage earth-type ability user, half a level higher than Gu Mingyue.
He merely glanced at Fang Kai and Zou Shaoyun with drooping eyelids, then erected a tens-of-meters-high earthen wall in front of them, stopping their fight.
"Oh dear, look what you young people have done to this beautiful mountain."
He looked at the gaping hole from which lava was flowing out, and set fire to several mutated trees. He cried out in distress and then commanded the water-based ability users to put out the fire.
Although Fang Kai and Zou Shaoyun almost started a forest fire, the old man did not kill them to vent his anger. Instead, he gave them both a severe beating and confiscated a lot of crystal cores.
There were too many fights on the edge of the Black Zone, so the old man didn't punish people severely here. He simply had the security guards wearing armbands lay out a carpet and set up a small table, where they could sit on the ground.
Judging from their appearance, they seemed to intend to sleep here and watch over them.
If Gu Mingyue absorbs all the remaining level-five crystal cores hidden in the space, and then joins forces with Xinghe, they can defeat the old man.
But the old man was clearly a highly respected person in the nearby safe zone, so Gu Mingyue didn't need to cause trouble for herself.
There was no reason to kill Zou Shaoyun in front of the old man.
After some consideration, he pulled the drunk Fang Kai to stop and sat down in the resting tent area.
Zhang Yun and her husband, who had just been rescued by Gu Mingyue, Fang Kai, and the others, came over to express their gratitude. They moved a little further away and sat in the seats closest to the Triumph Team.
For a day and a night, thanks to the old man's arrival, no one continued to cause trouble.
The old man sat next to the Triumph Team. He was a very easy-going old man, and as soon as he sat down, he started chatting with people.
He didn't seem like a powerful figure who had just used his superpowers to easily stop two high-level superpowered individuals from fighting.
Even at night, the temperature at the edge of the crater cliff is very high.
Fang Kai and the others quickly bandaged their wounds, took off their outer clothes and shoes, and then stuck their heads into the tent and fell asleep.
Zhang Yun and her husband had a very good relationship. Even though Shi Bowen was injured, he still took off his coat and placed it under Zhang Yun, then used his uninjured arm as a pillow for her.
Zhang Yun didn't rush to lie down. Instead, she took out what looked like expired disinfection tools from a small bag tied to her belt and disinfected her husband.
The two were on the same wavelength, both implicitly putting the other first, and then exchanging a smile.
In both her lifetimes combined, Gu Mingyue had never seen many couples so deeply in love, and she took another look, feeling a sense of fascination.
It would have been better not to look, because once you do, you get a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). After the young couple treated each other's wounds, they lay down in each other's arms, one falling asleep peacefully while the other kept watch.
Even without the life-and-death bond between Gu Mingyue and Xinghe, they still trusted each other completely.
"Ah, youth is truly wonderful." The old man, at the late stage of level five, sighed and walked over to Gu Mingyue and Xinghe, leaning on his cane.
Then he winked at Xinghe and said, "Look how loving that young couple is, why don't you learn from them?"
Gu Mingyue never expected that the person in charge of a Black Domain Safe Zone could be so carefree and easygoing. They could chat with someone the moment they finished a battle!
Slightly stunned.
Xinghe received the old man's signal and took out a comfortable mattress and an air conditioner fan that didn't need to be plugged in from his space.
A few gusts of cold wind blew, and many people around the Black Domain secretly shuffled over.
The old man benefited from the cool breeze and let out a long, comfortable sigh.
"Your husband treats you better. Look how hot it is here, and those couples are still cuddling and being affectionate. Your partner is so much more reliable; he even kept such a nice little thing hidden away."
Despite the conspicuous behavior, the old man and the other superhumans merely came over to rub against him; no one expressed a desire to monopolize or sell it.
After all, someone who can produce something like this among hundreds of people must have the ability to protect it. Gu Mingyue and her companion's strength goes without saying; among all these people, they are second only to that old man.
