Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Newcors from Everywhere
“`
“Let’s go, follow .”
Pei Hongjing said.
A few bodyguards walked around him, front, back, left, and right. Two hired Awakeners bit their teeth, carrying hesitation and fear, but still followed.
A line of people moved through the silent resort.
It was eerily quiet, but soon, they could faintly hear so ghastly roars.
...
The bodyguards’ faces changed abruptly.
The two Awakeners did as well.
At that mont,
Black Blade, who was leading the way, stopped. An invisible air current dispersed around him, and the temperature around them seed to drop suddenly. Two Awakeners who were about to continue persuading their clients also froze in place.
A fearso pressure enveloped them, a chill ran up their spines to the crowns of their heads, and their throats felt as if they were being throttled.
“Roar~!”
In the distance, ripples appeared on the water, as if impacted by sothing, revealing faint grey-black outlines.
Four were smaller, ranging from calf to lion size, but there were two other grey-black figures… They were more ferocious and horrifying, with huge statures reaching three to four ters tall.
Fear surged in everyone present, the environnt in front of them began to distort, various terrifying sounds invaded their minds, and people seed to grow dizzy.
Pei Hongjing was just as frightened.
He saw those two figures, larger than a minivan, covered with tentacles, eyeballs, and gaping fissures – monstrous shadows.
Rationality was plumting.
But the next instant,
Boom—!
The figure in the black trench coat disappeared in a flash. The Evil-Slaying Greatsword with its elongated red blade light descended forcefully, cutting through like a hot knife through butter, the blade effortlessly slicing through the distorted large Mysterious Evil, splitting it in two, while the red glow devoured and obliterated the remaining body.
After striking with one blow, Black Blade did not look back. He swung the massive Evil-Slaying Greatsword powerfully…
A crescent-shaped red blade light more than ten ters long shot out, cleaving another large Mysterious Evil, and traveled a further ten or twenty ters before slowly dissipating, leaving a neat fissure on the ground as if cut by a machine.
At this point, not even two seconds had passed.
The remaining four smaller Mysterious Evils, still driven by instinct, lunged forward.
Black Blade stood still, invisible murderous intent emanating from him, stirring up the winds and clouds. The onrushing smaller Mysterious Evils suddenly froze, each of them stiff in place, bursting like bubbles.
He sheathed his sword and looked around once more, “There are no more Mysterious Evils.”
…
Gulp~!
Soone swallowed hard first, and the rest of the bodyguards ca back to their senses.
The two Awakeners trembled, not daring to speak, looking up in awe at the mighty figure.
Pei Hongjing was equally astonished.
He never doubted that Black Blade could deal with large Mysterious Evils, but to do so with such crisp efficiency… No, this was not just efficiency, it was an instant kill, not on the sa level at all!
Is this what a senior mber of BLAZE is like?!
How many as powerful as this are there in BLAZE? How many are stronger than Mr. Black Blade?
Pei Hongjing was not without insight, but witnessing Black Blade unleashing a blade light and cutting with blade energy, he still felt his blood boil with uncontrollable excitent.
Because, according to that person, he too had potential, he could walk this path and beco increasingly stronger.
As long as he spared no effort in cooperating with BLAZE, exchanging earned contribution points for various treasures and cultivation opportunities, growing stronger was just around the corner.
They all had a bright future!
Pei Hongjing broke into a smile.
Let’s set a small goal to start with, spend towards a small goal.
…
With Pei Hongjing’s financial backing, the renovation of the resort proceeded very quickly.
During this ti,
“`
Black Blade, aside from occasionally venturing out to eliminate the Mysterious Evil in the vicinity, spent most of his ti guiding and planning this base.
He transford it into a place with various training grounds.
At the sa ti,
In a cramped rental room sowhere in Dong Huang, Luo Rui’s fingers flew rapidly, clattering against the keyboard, “Indeed, this world has already spawned many monsters, yet we ordinary people are completely in the dark.”
“Damn it!”
Luo Rui had thought about going public with this information, but after calming down, he considered what good it would do. Besides increasing social panic, apart from likely being taken in for a chat with authorities, it would be futile.
Even if ordinary people knew about those monsters called ‘Mysterious Evil,’ if they encountered one, those destined to die would still die.
It’s useless.
The apocalypse had already arrived, yet he was as powerless as a chicken.
When he was young and in his chūnibyō phase, he had fantasized about defending the heavens with a sword in hand at the end of the world, with sword qi sweeping across ten thousand miles. But now, the apocalypse seed to have co, and yet he couldn’t handle even a single Mysterious Evil.
If he encountered one, could he escape?
“What on earth has happened to this world.”
“Peace and stability are truly the best.”
His fingers continued to strike the keyboard rapidly, but the more he saw, the more wooden his expression beca.
Suddenly,
“Ding!”
A golden rectangle popped up on the computer screen, and Luo Rui was startled, “Is it a virus?”
His fingers clattered on the keyboard, nearly becoming a blur, but the golden rectangle on the screen remained, even after he used the ultimate solution of pulling the power cord, causing the entire computer screen to go dark, except for the golden rectangle.
Luo Rui: “???”
At that mont, he noticed the content on it, and his eyes gradually widened.
‘If you had one chance to change your destiny, but the price was to embark on a path full of thorns and the unknown, do you have the courage and determination?’
‘Please answer the following questions seriously: (Click to expand)’
…
Two days later,
At the south exit of Shuize City, Luo Rui boarded a black business car.
He noticed that besides the driver, there were four other people in the car, three n and a woman.
“You’ve been chosen as well?”
“Of course, aren’t we about to embark on an extraordinary path!”
“Can we learn to fly swords or cast magic?”
A youth with a childish face was extrely excited, gesticulating and mumbling about ‘great opportunities,’ ‘fate-defying transformation,’ and ‘soaring straight to ninety thousand miles,’ making Luo Rui cringe enough to want to dig a hole and bury himself.
He wasn’t even this corny during his chūnibyō phase.
Moreover, Luo Rui felt that things were not that simple. Combining the information he had gathered and the question from the golden rectangle, he vaguely realized that extraordinary powers existed, but there was a cost, likely involving them having to confront those terrifying monsters.
But he still ca.
The business car drove on, arriving at the destination.
The driver who brought them said, “I’m only responsible for bringing you here. Whether you can make it the rest of the way is up to you.”
Luo Rui looked up at the resort shrouded in mist on the mountainside.
Apart from the unusually thick fog, there seed to be nothing special. What’s so hard about walking up there?
Unfortunately, the driver knew nothing further.
But since he had co all this way… Luo Rui took a deep breath and walked along the main road towards the resort.
Gradually, the fog grew thicker.
Before he knew it, he was surrounded by dense white mist, the trees a re dozen ters away only visible as blurry outlines.
At that ti,
Inside the resort on the mountain, Wang Chui stared at the stele in front of him in amazent, “The Strange Implent given by the instructor is so impressive… It’s a pity that we’re not allowed to dismantle it.”
