Chapter 133 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 17)
Electricity has become an indispensable part of people's lives. This accident came too suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, the people of Lincheng were plunged into darkness.
Compared to other cities with their twinkling lights, Lin City was shrouded in darkness—the momentary silence made the city seem like a ghost town for a brief time!
"What's going on? What's happening?!"
The observers stared intently at the specialized instrument, which now displayed numerous densely packed red dots, with only a few scattered green dots within its circle, making it seem as if they were on an isolated island…
Isolated and helpless.
The presence of green dots represents registered and observed cultivators. Red dots represent beings possessing demonic power!
If this high-tech product hadn't been developed a few days ago, the higher-ups in Lincheng would have been completely unaware, simply assuming it was another mischievous act by some unruly cultivator.
Fortunately, their reconnaissance abilities were steadily improving; otherwise, if they had unknowingly sent out new cultivators for training, they would have been doomed and perished here!
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
Even if you realize the predicament you're in, you can't help but feel a chill run down your spine!
This is... terrifying! Lin Cheng seems to be completely isolated and helpless!
Chen Liusui had a full head of white hair, but he was in good spirits. Facing the observers who were on the verge of collapse, he calmly and deliberately said, "If they want to come, let them come."
“A cultivator who has not experienced battle cannot grow. This is a great opportunity for training.”
The observers were somewhat reassured, then asked, "What if...Lin City falls?"
It's not as simple as just the lights going out now; all ordinary communication tools have become ineffective. No one expected that those beings with demonic power would unleash such a powerful attack right from the start—
Currently, Lincheng is completely disconnected from the outside world!
Chen Liusui raised his head slightly and solemnly promised, "As long as we old men have a breath left, we will absolutely not allow them to encroach on our territory."
"Besides..." Chen Liusui's eyes shone brightly, "The dragon vein is watching us, the dragon vein is protecting us—!"
It was impossible for Si Yisi, the Dragon Vein expert, not to have noticed the changes in the entire Lin City.
The strange, evil, and greedy laughter echoing in her mind could drive a normal person crazy, but under Si Yisi's unwavering willpower, it was like a light drizzle on her face.
He "saw" that the evil demons from all directions, most of which did not even have a fixed form, were like stagnant water in a gutter, seeping in little by little with him as the center.
They are everywhere, fiercely displaying their predatory instincts. Some of them can't even withstand the torment of their hunger, attacking the humans around them before reaching their destination!
"ah!"
A woman let out a heart-wrenching scream. She couldn't see the monsters lurking in the darkness, but the bruises that kept appearing on her neck were quickly taking her life!
In the seemingly endless darkness, she collapsed to the ground, letting out a scream filled with a desperate will to survive!
Then, the woman seemed to see light—
An invisible force squeezed out the grip on her neck, and her vision went white. The air rushing into her throat meant she had escaped this predicament!
After the blank white light disappeared, the woman saw a ball of light act as a lamp, illuminating the path ahead.
"Auntie, go there, someone will protect you." The boy raised the model knife in his hand.
The boy looked very young and immature, but there was a hint of heroism between his brows.
"What about you?" the woman asked haltingly, her eyes filled with worry.
"Me?" The boy raised the corner of his lips, holding his toy-like weapon. "Leave those filthy things to me—that'll do."
The evil demons shifted their bodies, their bewildered questions, though lacking in intelligence, sounded to humans as nothing more than a series of incomprehensible shrieks: "Fellow beings...why..."
Occasionally, a wisp of genuine malevolence emanates from the boy, a presence unseen by ordinary people! That's why he's mistaken for one of their own by evil demons.
Si Yisi frowned slightly. As expected of a university that receives special attention, Chonghua University had already activated its backup power supply.
However, these backup power sources are not inexhaustible; they are artificially supplied and nourished by spiritual energy!
Si Yisi, glared at by Ruan Zichang with anger, was clearly a little disoriented. He frowned not because he was afraid, but because he had used the power of the dragon vein to create several avatars in that short time.
In a short period of time, he saved several ordinary people in Lincheng!
However, the dragon vein has been polluted, so the resulting incarnations will also be affected to some extent.
However, as long as the avatar is controlled by Si Yisi's will, it will absolutely not do anything to harm the people of Lin City.
Whether in light or darkness, as long as he is Si Yisi, nothing will escape his control!
"What happened?! What's going on?"
Someone came out of the dormitory and saw the two groups facing off. Their observation of Si Yisi's group wasn't a coincidence; in fact, the light sources gathered around Si Yisi's group...
It's more than anywhere else!
"I'm warning you, don't come any closer!"
Peng Nanyu didn't notice anything amiss. He only knew that the light had gone out and then come back on, so he ignored the anomaly and focused all his attention on Ruan Zichang, like a hedgehog that had exploded.
He pondered this in his mind, then said, "If you want to fight, I'm ready!"
Peng Nanyu had a good plan. He figured that no matter how arrogant these people were, they wouldn't start a fight when many people were watching.
He was unaware of the surging rage within him, nor of the urge to tear the people before him to pieces...
In Peng Nanyu's subconscious, the option of refusing to fight simply did not exist!
“…Okay.” Ruan Zichang replied hoarsely. He was too easy to talk to, which greatly surprised Yan Lingling, who knew him quite well.
Because of the influence of spiritual energy, Ruan Zichang has always appeared in front of people as someone who is easily angered and irritable since his awakening. But this time he is so "suppressing his anger" that it is not like him at all!
A large group of people walked down from the dormitory building, attracting a crowd of students to watch in the open space.
They knew they should stay in their dorms at times like this—that's what the school's announcement said—but their bodies seemed to be controlled by something invisible, and they unconsciously walked downstairs!
A sense of tranquility flowed through the hearts of the students present, as if a pair of gentle hands had soothed all their anxiety, restlessness, and unease.
Yes... they should be bystanders.
Witnessing—witnessing what?
George hid in a corner, and at that moment, the dazzling brilliance on him seemed to be instantly concealed. The bright colors became the best tool for disguise, just like a chameleon.
He curved his lips into a smile, his lips so red they looked as if they had been smeared with blood.
So many people? Si Yisi couldn't ignore this unusual situation. He patted Peng Nanyu on the shoulder and called out to him, "Something's not right—"
"What's wrong with that?" Peng Nanyu shrugged indifferently. "If he wants to fight, let him do it!"
As Si Yisi watched him walk forward step by step, it was as if all the light was focused on the two of them, which made Si Yisi's vigilance rise continuously.
He saw something that other students couldn't—
Suddenly, hundreds or even thousands of times more foul demonic energy erupted from Peng Nanyu's body, attacking Ruan Zichang and piercing through his entire body in an instant!
The students, even those with spiritual power, didn't sense the presence of demonic energy. They simply felt that the atmosphere had suddenly become oppressive, as if it could suffocate them at any moment!
They couldn't see the demonic attack; they only saw Peng Nanyu suddenly "kill" Ruan Zichang.
They can't see it either—
Ruan Zichang's face revealed a smile that almost reached his ears. The moment the demonic energy emanated from Peng Nanyu, a large amount of demonic energy also surged out from his shattered body!
The demonic energy emanating from Peng Nanyu was even more evil and filthy than the demonic energy on him, and then it crashed into Peng Nanyu's body without hesitation!
"Murder—"
A loud scream came from the students watching. George patted the back of his hand intermittently, his head slightly tilted to the side, as if listening to a beautiful piece of music.
A... turbulent symphony!
The scream was cut short halfway through, and in front of many students, Peng Nanyu's body suddenly swelled up—
The invisible demonic energy seemed to have accumulated to a certain amount and then erupted out of a hole. In a short period of time... Peng Nanyu was no longer human!
A large shadow completely blocked the light from Si Yisi's eyes. In front of him, an ugly monster stood blocking his way, in the place where Peng Nanyu had been standing.
What kind of monster is this?
It was about one and a half times the height of a person, its entire body covered in flowing black mist, with some red light surging on its "skin".
It still appears to have a human form, and its appearance isn't that unacceptable... but the endless stream of demonic power emanating from it gives the students a strong sense of oppression.
That was the human sixth sense issuing a warning—run, run!
That's a monster you can't possibly defeat!
ah……
Si Yisi paused for a moment. Instead of running away like his classmates, he stared directly into the monster's bloodshot eyes.
He is Peng Nanyu, that's enough—is this your form as a demon?
He said, "It's thick enough." It matched Peng Nanyu's expectations for the physique very well, but perhaps it was a little too bloated?
Si Yi thought to himself—they're all like balls now.
The next moment, the monster that Peng Nanyu had transformed into did not hesitate to strike Si Yisi, who was too tiny in his eyes, with his thick, strong arm!
Along with the monster's attack came a gust of wind that ruffled Si Yisi's hair.
He looked as if he was about to die at the hands of the monster at any moment!
