After Zou Shaoyun finished speaking, he led hundreds of his brothers to surround him. They were numerous and all of them were level two or three ability users.
Fang Kai's side also had a high level of superpowers, but they were outnumbered and quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.
Whether it's Zou Shaoyun or Fang Kai, their highest level of superpower is only mid-level three. Gu Mingyue is already late-level three. She can dodge their attacks, but it's difficult for her to lend a helping hand to others.
Beyond the dark realm, a riot of colorful supernatural powers erupted, creating fissures, thorns, icebergs, electric fences, and walls of fire everywhere...
Xinghe enveloped Gu Mingyue in a spatial shield, then moved through it like lightning, suddenly appearing behind the enemies with a long sword and crippling their arms.
Gu Mingyue smiled faintly and released her mental domain to harvest the spoils.
Although she had no intention of taking lives, this group of people had inexplicably taken their anger out on her. She was not a magnanimous saint, and her action of snapping her neck was swift and decisive.
The spatial shield Xinghe placed wasn't very wide; it was just a larger humanoid spatial shield tailored to her figure, so it wouldn't hinder her from retaliating.
"Who are those two masked people? They're as fast as eels, how come no one can catch them?"
Zou Shaoyun asked the people around him, thinking that there were many people on their side, and perhaps there were some familiar faces.
However, they all shook their heads. "Boss, they must be new outsiders."
Seeing that the two men had injured many of his brothers with their bizarre attacks, Zou Shaoyun spat on the ground in anger and cursed a few times.
"They're this strong without even being trained in the Black Domain. If they become a force to be reckoned with, what will become of them? Send two more groups of people. I don't believe we can't wear them down with sheer numbers." He said viciously.
Seeing that Fang Kai's body was covered in long wounds from the wind blades, and that the mask that had covered his face to hide the ugly wounds had disappeared, his companions were also dragged violently into the slowly closing crevice by the thorny thorns.
Wu Qian looked distressed. She erected a large wall of fire, burning away the Jackal Gang members, and quickly ran to Fang Kai.
“Chief Zou, your brother is not dead yet. He has just been imprisoned by monsters in the Black Domain. If you kill us today, then your brother will also be considered to have been killed by you.”
She abandoned her previous timidity, swallowed a gold-type crystal core, and shouted with great vigor.
Upon hearing this, Zou Shaoyun immediately stopped his men's attack, and hundreds of fine golden needles surged out from behind him, pointing directly at the two of them.
He looked down at Wu Qian and said a few harsh words. Finally, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he ordered her to bring his brother out of the Black Domain alive by tomorrow.
They only briefly released Fang Kai's brothers after arresting them.
As the group left in a grand procession, Zou Shaoyun gave a disdainful snort as they passed Gu Mingyue and her companion.
"Don't think you're safe just because you're wearing a mask. I've memorized your figures. If I see anyone who looks like you, I'll kill them all."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. After he finished speaking, Xinghe looked at him with extremely cold eyes. He teleported twice in half a second, covering a distance of five meters, and arrived directly next to Zou Shaoyun.
Zou Shaoyun thought that with so many people around, he wouldn't make a move, but he didn't expect that this man didn't know what fear was at all.
Terrified, he immediately turned his head to gold and erected several golden blades in front of him. Fortunately, he was quick, because the Star River's spatial blades were aimed at his head.
Hearing a sizzling sound coming from in front of his head, the sound of metal plates scraping against each other made him break out in a cold sweat. He instantly retreated and erected three metal walls in front of him, then fled quickly under the cover of his level three speed-type attackers.
"Xinghe, stop chasing them. Level three speed-type ability users are as fast as the wind. You're just wasting your energy chasing them." Gu Mingyue called back Xinghe, who wanted to continue chasing.
"Our main goal this time is to acquire the crystal source; everything else is minor," Gu Mingyue whispered a reminder.
Xinghe gazed intently at their departing figures, memorizing their faces as well.
He wouldn't allow anyone to try to harm his master, and if he encountered them again, he would kill the leader first.
After the Jackal Gang members dispersed, the others dared to run over from a distance to take a look.
On the ground, Fang Kai and the others still bore the marks of flames, and some were foaming at the mouth from being electrocuted by the electric fence.
Fang Kai also had many wounds, one of which tore directly from his left rib to his right hip.
Wu Qian helped him up with tears in her eyes.
Gu Mingyue and Xinghe also stepped forward to help.
"Thank you, Miss Gu. We've dragged you into this mess," Fang Kai said in a hoarse voice.
“We’re fine, but you’re quite badly injured. Let us help you to the clinic on the west side,” Gu Mingyue said.
"No need. Those healing-type ability users don't have much offensive capability. If they know our injuries were inflicted by the Jackal Gang, they won't heal us," Fang Kai said weakly, shaking his head.
"It's all my fault, I've dragged you all into this," Wu Qian said, tears streaming down her face.
"I don't blame you, it's my choice," Fang Kai said, raising his hand to wipe away Wu Qian's tears.
Fang Kai's teammates also said, "We don't blame you, we all helped you voluntarily."
Almost all of them had received favors from Fang Kai, and they knew that Fang Kai liked Wu Qian, so Wu Qian was already one of their own in their hearts.
As more and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, Gu Mingyue stepped forward, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"Since we can't go to the clinic, let's find a place to rest. There's blood everywhere, so we need to get it bandaged up."
Upon hearing this, Fang Kai and the others finally helped each other walk toward their shelter.
It was a temporary residential area made up of several simple prefabricated houses. The words "Triumphant Team" were written in large characters on the door. Several cars were parked around the houses. It didn't look very wealthy; it was just an ordinary doomsday team.
Several women came out and saw Fang Kai and the others returning covered in injuries. They rushed over in alarm and took them back into the house to give them basic first aid. For some reason, Wu Qian was deliberately ignored by them.
The superhuman is physically strong, and the injury is not fatal; eating some crystal cores can help him recover slowly.
Wu Qian also sensed the hostility these women were towards her, and covered the injury on her forehead, intending to slink away.
Gu Mingyue smiled and stopped her, "Sister Wu, there are shards of glass in the wound on your face. You probably can't clean it yourself. Let me help you."
Gu Mingyue's lips were red and full, and the shape of her lips was also very beautiful. Even with half of her face covered, her charm was still undiminished.
Wu Qian met her glassy eyes and nodded slightly, "Thank you, you're such a kind person."
Having been friend-zoned again, Gu Mingyue was in a great mood. She had Xinghe take out a motorhome from her spatial storage and brought the person inside to clean their wounds.
"Sister Wu, I heard you're the only one who came back alive from the Black Domain's main city. Can you tell me about what happened inside? We want to enter the Black Domain tonight, and more information will be more beneficial to us." Gu Mingyue used tweezers to pick at the glass shards on Wu Qian's head.
"Hiss~" Wu Qian felt a sharp pain in her head as if it were going into her skull, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry of pain.
"Sister Gu, I advise you not to go in. The Dark Domain is inhabited by talking monsters. It is the territory of monsters, and humans should not set foot there at all!"
