“How… how could this be?”
The envoy’s previously aloof and composed demeanor vanished in an instant. Staring at the sea of corpses before him, he was utterly shocked and horrified!
At that moment, he suddenly noticed dozens of cold, piercing eyes locking onto him.
The intensity of those gazes sent chills down his spine.
Without a second thought, his wheelchair spun mid-air, transforming into a streak of light as he attempted to flee.
Having witnessed the battle, he knew full well that he was no match for this group.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Jia Jiaqin, riding atop a flying pig, transformed into a beam of light as he pursued the envoy.
Zhu Jishan swiftly erected barrier after barrier along the envoy’s escape route.
Countless attacks were simultaneously launched toward the fleeing envoy.
Such tactics far exceeded the envoy’s expectations, filling him with terror.
No longer caring about his dignity, he burned his life essence in a desperate attempt to escape.
As he ran, he screamed toward the sky, “Master, save me!”
Just as the countless attacks were about to catch up to him, the clouds in the sky suddenly parted.
A black orb appeared in the heavens.
It was like a black sun.
But while the sun radiates light, this entity brought only darkness.
As the black orb emerged, a thick fog of darkness spread, shrouding the sky and plunging the world into an eerie gloom, as if the heavens themselves were being devoured.
The entire world was suffused with an unsettling aura.
Under the influence of this strange energy, even experts like Xiang Tiannan, who had reached the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm, found it hard to breathe, their powers becoming erratic and unstable.
Then, the black orb suddenly condensed and transformed, taking the shape of a colossal, sky-obscuring demonic figure in the heavens.
From within the demonic shadow, a massive hand, large enough to cover half the sky, descended.
The ground below was engulfed in shadow, plunging the area into complete darkness for a brief moment.
With a single motion, the massive hand effortlessly dispelled all the attacks launched by the disciples toward the envoy.
The envoy’s face lit up with relief as he sensed his master’s presence, instantly calming down.
“Hahaha, thank you, Master, for saving me!”
The envoy laughed heartily. With his master’s intervention, who could possibly kill him now?
However, just as he was laughing, the massive hand in the void gently flicked, sending him hurtling toward Su Yunyun and the others.
“Master, what are you doing? Aren’t you here to save me?”
“Master, no, please!”
“Master, save me! I’ve been loyal to you!”
The envoy screamed hysterically, his eyes wide with terror.
“A useless failure like you is better off dead. At least you can serve your final purpose—sacrificing your life to add a bit more darkness to this blackened world!”
A cold, emotionless voice echoed from the void.
The envoy let out a final, desperate cry. Su Yunyun and the others seized the opportunity.
Phoenix flames, Bai Qiyu’s fists, Chi Yitong’s cleaver, and Hong Fengkuang’s explosive attacks—all of them converged on the envoy. Under the overwhelming force, the envoy’s body exploded, his soul obliterated, leaving only a wisp of black smoke.
Seeing this, the massive hand in the sky waved again.
An endless surge of ink-like darkness rolled across the sky, forming a massive black hole above the plaza, as if ready to devour everything.
Including the envoy’s wisp of black smoke, the dark energy generated by the countless deaths in the area began to gather toward the demonic shadow in the sky.
At that moment, everyone present could feel it—the aura emanating from the demonic figure in the void had grown even more terrifying.
The disciples looked up at the sky, their faces filled with grim determination.
Despite their strength, none of them could discern how this demonic figure had appeared.
Moreover, its presence brought an overwhelming sense of oppression and danger.
The dark energy that had spread earlier only added to the eerie and unnatural atmosphere.
In short, everything about this situation felt profoundly abnormal.
