The next night, the moon was hidden and the stars were few, perfect weather for murder and robbery... no, for punishing the wicked and promoting good.
Just after 10 p.m., Zhang Shaozhong, Ling Qingxue, and Ye Meier appeared near the "Time Cafe" like ghosts.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Ling Qingxue set up even more powerful concealment and interference formations around the area in advance to ensure that the commotion here would not easily spread.
As planned, Nightshade was hiding on the rooftop opposite the coffee shop, in charge of overseeing the entire operation, preventing anyone from escaping, and delivering a swift and decisive blow when necessary.
Ling Qingxue, meanwhile, lurked in the shadows further away. Her mission was to ensure the absolute safety of the female student named Su Wanqing and to seal off the area to prevent Basong from launching any evil magic remotely.
The main force that directly intercepted and fought against the opposing cultivators was Zhang Shaozhong!
This was a decision made after Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier discussed it—he needed real combat to hone himself, digest the growth he had experienced during this period, and completely transform the power of the chaotic energy into combat power!
Zhang Shaozhong took a deep breath, suppressing the tension and a hint of excitement in his heart. He hid behind a trash can in the back alley of the coffee shop, concealing his presence like a lurking cheetah, quietly waiting for its prey to come to it.
At 10:25, the coffee shop closed.
A girl dressed simply, carrying a schoolbag, and looking pretty and quiet walked out; it was Su Wanqing.
She glanced at the somewhat dimly lit street, and subconsciously quickened her pace, heading towards the quiet back alley leading to the school.
10:30 sharp!
The moment Su Wanqing stepped into the back alley, a sudden change occurred!
A van without license plates suddenly rushed in from the alley entrance, braked sharply, and came to a stop across the middle of the alley, blocking the way!
The car door was flung open with a bang, and four burly men jumped out, each with a fierce look in their eyes. They were carrying sacks and towels and pounced on the panicked Su Wanqing!
"Ah—!" Su Wanqing screamed in fright!
"Attack!" Zhang Shaozhong shouted in a low voice, no longer hiding, and suddenly jumped out from behind the trash can!
He was incredibly fast, channeling chaotic energy into his legs, and covered more than ten meters in just a few steps, rushing towards the four burly men like a whirlwind!
"You're asking for death!" The leader, a scarred man, sneered and threw a punch at Zhang Shaozhong's face. The wind from the punch was howling, clearly indicating that he was a trained fighter!
If it were the Zhang Shaozhong of the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that punch.
But at this moment, in his eyes, Scarface's movements seemed to have slowed down!
He could even see the subtle changes in the trajectory of the opponent's fist!
Zhang Shaozhong neither dodged nor evaded; his right hand shot out like lightning, arriving first despite being behind, and precisely grabbed the scarred man's wrist!
The chaotic energy erupted instantly!
"Crack!" A sickeningly loud sound of bone breaking!
"Ah—!" Scarface let out a pig-like scream. His wrist bent at an eerie angle, and Zhang Shaozhong took advantage of the situation to throw him away like a broken sack, where he crashed heavily into the wall and passed out!
The other three burly men were both shocked and enraged upon seeing this, and they attacked simultaneously!
Zhang Shaozhong's eyes were icy cold, and the chaotic energy within his body surged and circulated, granting him strength, speed, and reflexes far exceeding those of ordinary people!
Whether it's a fist, a palm, a finger, or an elbow, his movements are simple and sharp, without any fancy moves. Every strike is precisely aimed at the opponent's joints, pressure points, and other vulnerable areas!
"Bang! Bang! Ah!"
Screams rang out one after another, and the other three burly men were also knocked to the ground in just a few breaths, groaning in pain and losing their fighting ability!
The whole process took no more than ten seconds!
Clean and efficient!
Su Wanqing, who was hiding in the distance, was dumbfounded, as if she were watching a martial arts movie!
However, just as Zhang Shaozhong dealt with the four ordinary thugs, a cold, viscous aura carrying strong malice suddenly wafted out from the depths of the alley!
"Hehehe... There really was an ambush! And it's a cultivator! Too bad, he's still far from being skilled enough!"
A gaunt middle-aged man, dressed in black training clothes, with a pale face and sinister eyes, slowly emerged from the shadows.
He was surrounded by a faint black aura and held a small banner with a skull and crossbones carved on it. He was one of Basong's disciples and a practitioner of evil magic!
Zhang Shaozhong could sense that the other party's aura was slightly stronger than his own, and that the small banner was emitting a nauseatingly sinister energy.
"You guys go and arrest them! I'll handle this kid!"
The evil cultivator shouted at his subordinates who were still able to move on the ground, while waving the skull banner in his hand!
"Waaaah—!"
A plume of black smoke billowed out of the banner, transforming into several twisted, wailing ghost faces, which rushed toward Zhang Shaozhong with a chilling wind!
This is a living soul he created using evil magic; its power is considerable!
Faced with this supernatural scene, Zhang Shaozhong's heart tightened, but he did not back down!
The chaotic energy protects the body autonomously, forming an invisible barrier around it!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
When those ghostly faces collided with the chaotic energy, they made a scorching sound, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. The black smoke quickly faded, and the wails became more shrill!
The primordial energy is extremely yang and righteous, and has a natural restraint on such evil things!
But the evil cultivator was not surprised when he saw this. Instead, he sneered, bit his fingertip, and flicked a drop of black blood onto the skull banner!
"A hundred ghosts devour the heart!"
The banner glowed with intense black light, and more and more solidified ghost faces emerged, some even mixed with several condensed black arrows of Yin energy, multiplying its power!
Zhang Shaozhong's pressure has increased dramatically!
Although the chaotic energy can be suppressed, the opponent's quantity is larger and more condensed!
He felt the invisible barrier around him fluctuating violently, as if it could be breached at any moment!
