As he spoke, in the red sky, a golden beam of light rose from the top of the main hall and then quickly spread out in all directions.
The earth was shaking, and gravel, dust, gold and red filled the space.
Outside the window, the range of the two superpowers was expanding, seemingly boundless.
That is an S-rank power, one of which is enough to destroy the small city of Sitong, but at this moment, two of them appeared in the center of the incident.
Two S-tiers.
It is like a huge monster, and anyone standing in front of it would be as ridiculous as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Ming raised his head and saw cracks appearing on the ceiling above him amidst the raging red lines.
He was right, he thought.
This time, he still couldn't do anything.
He said he wanted to take Li away, he said he wanted to protect Li, but in the end he was the only one being protected.
Only my weak self.
The feeling of powerlessness seemed to penetrate deep into his bones, making it impossible for him to breathe.
"Bang!"
The top floor collapsed along with the ceiling of this level, and rubble fell between him and the young man in front of him.
The fallen stones squeezed the space in the corridor, as if filling the gaps in his field of vision, covering up the black-haired young man who seemed to be walking stubbornly in front of him and his back that did not stop.
Until it is completely invisible.
In front of the piled-up stone slabs, the blue pendant earrings were dangling, and the light was trembling faintly among the black hair.
Then it was held tightly in the palm of a hand wearing a fingerless glove.
The blue light disappeared, being tightly suppressed in the palm of his hand, trapped under the hardness. The black-haired young man raised his hand, his red eyes slightly dropped, looking at his clenched fist, as if looking at the light trapped in his palm.
That face that was as cold as ice suddenly showed a smile.
The corners of his mouth were raised, his smile was deepening, and the coldness between his eyebrows was gradually dissipating.
His expression changed, the ice melted, and he became bold and unrestrained, as if he had nothing to worry about and no hesitation at all.
Then he put down his hand.
The black-haired young man walked as if he had passed through an invisible and intangible door, leaving behind the loneliness that was wrapped tightly.
The black hair fluttered in the breeze, and on that face, the flickering light formed a silver mask, covering the left red pupil.
"If you mix it in too early, it will die."
A low, dull voice echoed in the shaking corridor, and the voice was so soft, as if afraid of disturbing something.
The young man let go of the hand and then smiled, not knowing who he was talking to: "Right."
The blue pendant disappeared.
...
A few minutes ago, in the main living room of Yue's house.
The absence of Yue Qing, the organizer of the banquet, did not affect Qu Yan's actions. He walked up the stairs to the second-floor platform, faced the nobles under the chandelier on the first floor, and cleared his throat.
"Good afternoon, everyone." He stood behind the handrail of the platform, stretched out a hand from behind his cloak, and made an opening speech with the etiquette of aristocrats, "I invited you all here this time because I want you to see my collection."
He pulled out from under his cloak a nutrition jar, the same size as the one he had taken out in the square that morning.
The skulls inside are of different shapes.
"Former supernatural guild, sharpshooter."
He put the nutrient can down on the table in front of him, which gleamed orange in the light, and then took out another one.
"Former member of the Supernatural Guild, hypnotist."
Another one.
"Former supernatural guild, Iron Warrior."
The action has not stopped.
"Former member of the Supernatural Guild, animal tamer."
...
After nine heads were laid out on the table one by one, he finally took out the last one, shook it in the air for a moment, as if to let the people below see it clearly, and then placed it in the center.
"Former spiritual leader of the supernatural guild, prophet."
Up to this point, he did not reveal anyone's real name, but instead called them by vague titles.
Because to him, it doesn't matter.
The nobles in the audience began to discuss in low voices. Among them, anyone who had seen the former Superpower Guild six years ago knew what these heads represented.
That represented an era in which the empire could be overthrown.
An Heyu looked up at the row of skulls, as if he was glad that Haig was not there.
But then he noticed that Qu Yan on the stage glanced at him.
An Heyu clenched his left hand slightly.
"But it's not just for you to admire these beautiful heads." Qu Yan said after doing all this.
He himself mentioned the confrontation at noon: "I think you have all heard about what happened at noon. Do you think I came here for Haig? No, Haig, a commoner, is not qualified to bring me to this rural area, although he did bring me a surprise."
Qu Yan said this on the stage, and then looked at the young man below the stage, who had his back straight and seemed to still have pride engraved in his bones.
At the same time, An Heyu's pupils trembled slightly.
He realized that something was about to happen that he had not expected.
Qu Yan looked at him with a condescending and sympathetic expression: "The only one who can make me willing to rush over from the floating city is you, the scavenger."
As soon as the words fell, red suddenly appeared under the robe!
He actually took action right here!
Dense red lines extended upwards, and then instantly penetrated the bodies of almost everyone present!
The only one who dodged was An Heyu, who was also at S-rank. But when he turned his head to look around, his golden pupils suddenly dilated.
Before his eyes, the bodies of the pierced nobles all exploded.
It's like fireworks.
The blood splashed in the air, forming a thin blood mist. Then it quickly merged into Qu Yan's supernatural blood line, enlarging the red line.
Like a wriggling blood-sucking worm.
At this time, An Heyu spoke.
He looked at Qu Yan who was looking at him jokingly on the stage. His expression was still as proud and reserved as before, but his tone had cooled down: "You admitted what you did at An's that night four years ago."
An Heyu wondered whether Qu Yan would attack him, but he overestimated this man's bottom line.
He should have paid more attention to why the mysterious Qu Yan would expose his supernatural powers in broad daylight. But he thought that Heger had angered him, and Qu Yan, who was provoked by the beheading, had resorted to killing in order to save face.
But that’s not the case. Qu Yan had already decided the future of everyone present from the very beginning.
Everyone will die, including the nobles who are watching and the civilians of the entire Sitong City.
"Admit it? What can you do even if you admit it?" Qu Yan said sarcastically.
"Prelude to the Dead can only control relatively complete corpses." Qu Yan raised his chin and looked down at An Heyu standing below, "You can't do anything without a corpse to drive."
Before he finished speaking, the S-level supernatural power leaped, and the red line directly rushed out of the ceiling. The range began to expand, as if it was going to envelop the entire Sitong City.
The azure sky was dyed red.
Then the red line fell from this thick and unknown color, as fast as lightning.
In an instant, everyone in the city saw the anomaly falling from the sky!
In the bounty hall of the Superpower Guild, the somewhat chubby Le Caile poked his head out from inside the room.
Outside the Superpower Guild, Yi Xiangnan, who was walking on the street, raised his head.
At the Tidal Sitong City stronghold, Momo and Youyou, who were still stranded in Sitong City, held hands and hid under the eaves, looking at the dark red sky.
In a civilian residential area, He Shasha, who had taken a leave of absence to stay at her parents' home, opened the window and saw the red color spreading rapidly from afar.
In the suburbs, a homeless man lying on the ground stared at the red color that was quickly covering the sky, motionless.
The entire city's sky was covered in red.
At this time, Yue's house, which was closest to the origin of the superpower, had been destroyed by the red line!
The house collapsed, and the ceiling of the main hall almost disappeared. The sunlight shone into the room, but it was a red light.
Behind Qu Yan, the red blood seemed to have solidified into a pair of wings for him.
The red line descended like lightning, and after all, An Heyu was standing in the middle of the rubble.
"You should have died four years ago, but it's not too late now." Qu Yan looked down at him and said, "Scavenger."
In an instant, the golden halo also expanded, and the domain-type supernatural power took over all the spatial authority within the domain!
In an instant, a figure stood in front of the red-haired young man, and his body transformed to block the bloodline's attack for him!
At the same time, An Heyu controls the undead that he has collected over the years, and they appear and disappear in his territory. This is his ability, his capital, and also the foundation of his accumulation.
But at this critical moment, the red-haired young man subconsciously turned his head and looked away.
As if he was looking for his brother's location.
The corpse that was blocking his attack was hit by the red line, and after piercing through the body, it exploded like a guest.
The blood of the dead will no longer flow, but Qu Yan's supernatural power can directly attack the master of the supernatural power through supernatural power. Because of the special nature of the prelude of the dead, he cannot directly attack An Heyu in this way, but as long as the dead are attacked, they will be destroyed!
And Qu Yan will not leave him any more undead that he can control, as these undead are limited resources.
After this moment of distraction, An Heyu suppressed his impulse and stared at Qu Yan closely.
"I am also S-rank." He said, using the pride of a noble family, as if to fight back against Qu Yan's insult, "We are of the same rank, can you really kill me?"
His undead are controlled by him and fight for him!
As soon as he finished speaking, twenty undead with different faces appeared in the ruins.
In an instant, various supernatural powers were released in this space. An Heyu's undead changed its position at will in this privileged place and appeared around Qu Yan.
Blood lines flew, stabbing quickly in all directions among the constantly flashing undead.
“Snap!”
The blood line brushed against the undead's supernatural power, and another undead exploded.
The supernatural sharp thorn penetrated deep into Qu Yan's body and cut off his arm.
But the next moment, blood began to flow at the cut, connecting the arm and the body again.
The number of undead is decreasing.
At this moment, Qu Yan suddenly turned his head as if looking at something.
Then he said, "Your brother who has no super powers."
An Heyu looked in that direction subconsciously and saw a red shadow entering behind the rockery.
Swan Feather?!
The red lines were densely packed towards the rockery. Before he could even think, several undead disappeared in the encirclement and appeared in front of the rockery, blocking the advancing red lines with their bodies.
The undead exploded, and at the same time An Heyu reacted.
Haig wasn't there!
But it's too late
The red line on Qu Yan's side was like a sea urchin shell extending outward, piercing the undead next to him at the moment when An Heyu was distracted.
But Qu Yan did not leave any time for An Heyu.
The red line was like an impenetrable net, rushing in front of him in an instant and grabbing him!
At that moment, An Heyu's golden pupils seemed to forget to focus on the blood net that was about to kill him, and instead remembered a morning a few days ago.
The black-haired young man wearing a silver mask stood up slowly, looked at him with his red eyes, and said to him: "This road is only suitable for people without soft sides."
What Haig said is right, An Heyu thought.
An Huyu is his weak link, his only younger brother, and his only remaining blood relative in this world.
He hoped more than anyone else that he could grow up healthy and happy, and not be immersed in sorrow like him.
But what did he do?
Protection? No, that's not protection!
But it brought disaster to Hu Yu!
Just like at this moment, Qu Yan came to Sitong City because of the Overture of the Undead, ready to destroy a city.
He would only harm his brother.
"Goodbye, scavenger." Qu Yan said contemptuously.
At this moment, the blood net descended, covering the pair of golden eyes with red.
Blood spurted out.
But it is above.
The purple-red hair was grabbed by a hand wearing fingerless gloves and gently lifted up.
The black-haired young man wearing a silver-white mask narrowed his red pupils, raised the corners of his mouth, and walked slowly past him carrying Qu Yan's severed head.
The boots stepped on the ground, neither fast nor slow.
The man turned his head and looked at An Heyu who was stunned below with red eyes.
"Oh, it seems I came at the right time?" Li Li chuckled.
