Chapter 844 - 199: Dark Night
Perhaps people who find themselves in desperate situations will launch a final desperate struggle; this is the norm and within Su Changxing’s expectations.
During the recent confrontation, Hu Huai’an completely revealed his strength and was already defeated, targeted by the Heavenly Dao, likely unable to survive.
As the temperature rose, the dry grass on the mountain caught a raging fire and continued to spread.
Su Changxing still stood motionless in place, hiding his figure, quietly watching Hu Huai’an not far away.
The high temperatures caused his skin to show symptoms of burns, which then further expanded, draining his flesh and blood.
Even high-tier Extraordinaries find it difficult to remain long in such high temperatures, but Su Changxing’s physique is strong, without fatal weaknesses, much like a Demon.
Such a high-temperature domain is not a big deal for him, as he can rely on his body to withstand it, so he still did not reveal his position.
Hu Huai’an showed a surprised expression, unable to locate Su Changxing’s position: "Could he really not be nearby?"
The next moment, he denied this thought, figuring that if he couldn’t determine Su Changxing’s location, then he would kill all living creatures in this area.
How strong can the power of an Extraordinary truly be?
It is inherently a destructive force.
This entire Illusion Mist, like a giant cage, suddenly contracted, squeezing space, and amid the stones, a mouse-like monster covered in Golden Dragon Armor abruptly exploded, with large amounts of blood water evaporating as it hit the ground.
Even so, Su Changxing remained motionless, quietly watching the opponent heading toward self-destruction, toward the Abyss.
As long as he doesn’t appear, he stands invincible; Hu Huai’an’s methods are not enough to kill him.
Under the dual pressure of the plague and the Heavenly Dao, Hu Huai’an was completely driven insane, a shadow of a huge Profound Turtle appeared behind him, stirring the Illusion Mist, trying to locate Su Changxing.
The more he did so, the faster he headed toward destruction.
A conspicuous red light began burning on Hu Huai’an, while unlike others, he didn’t immediately vanish, but struggled against the forces from the rules.
At his level, he inherently could control and resist rules, but compared to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, it was insignificant; there wasn’t much comparability between the two.
"Ah!!"
Hu Huai’an screamed miserably, knowing he was about to die, full of unwillingness, never thinking he would die in this world.
"You are breaking the rules, you will regret it, I can guarantee that!"
Until Hu Huai’an was obliterated, Su Changxing never showed up but quietly watched from a corner, like an audience.
Hu Huai’an’s strength was indeed strong, so even Su Changxing dared not underestimate him; if it weren’t for the threat from the Antivirus Software, he probably wouldn’t have had confidence to kill him.
The chain in his hand largely deceived the Antivirus Software, allowing him to remain undiscovered during the recent confrontation.
When Hu Huai’an was obliterated, he felt the presence of Antivirus Software, like a Ghost passing through space, then enveloping surroundings like a cool light.
This world, what is its true nature, or what should it be like, Su Changxing never saw clearly.
Perhaps the ordinary is not the true face of this world.
The white Illusion Mist gradually dissipated, revealing the true scene of this place; lava-like formations flowed due to high temperatures, coursing down the mountain’s contours, then gradually solidifying.
"So, the pathway to the World of Heaven might be over there."
Su Changxing looked contemplatively toward the direction Hu Huai’an had always been advancing.
Ultimately, Hu Huai’an was still afraid of death; if he had been intent on fighting to the death from the start, it would’ve been difficult to handle, at least not this smoothly.
As Su Changxing was about to leave, he paused, sensing someone watching him, across the void, seemingly because of Hu Huai’an’s death.
"Interesting, is it someone from the World of Heaven?"
Even if Hu Huai’an is dead, the World of Heaven certainly would not let it rest, rather, it would incite them to greater action.
...
"How could this be, doesn’t it mean no one here can make it out alive!"
Xu Kai widened his eyes, trembling with his lips at the hellish scene before him.
This was a major gathering place, just at the fringe of their warfare region, with many civilians not part of the combat sequence.
Initially, both sides restrained themselves to not affect this major gathering place, but eventually, it was caught in the turmoil.
But this was not a big problem, except someone brought the Death Curse here from the western side of the battlefield.
The Death Curse spread like locusts; likely, in the end, no one in this gathering place would survive.
Zhu Xin Xue also sighed, grabbing Xu Kai’s clothes and pulling him back: "We should leave here too, this place is too dangerous, it may not take long for this thing to spread across the city."
"I heard the teacher has returned, Brother Zhou won over there too."
Xu Kai stood still, holding the railing with one hand, solemnly saying: "This thing should be able to be resolved, these people shouldn’t die so innocently, especially at our hands like this."
Zhu Xin Xue showed a helpless expression, finding her junior brother good in many ways, yet with an inclination towards nosiness, she thought and said:
"There’s seemingly no solution to this thing, moreover, it’s part of the plan."
Xu Kai revealed a surprised expression: "Plan, what plan?"
Zhu Xin Xue pondered and said: "I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s related to the Death Curse; war always has sacrifices, you should understand."
She knew the plan’s full picture, which was arrayed by Lin Xiuyu.
Xu Kai was silent for a while, then said: "That was before, when there was no solution, now the teacher is back, there must be a way."
"We don’t need such a brutal plan, no one wins favor; if the teacher were here, surely he would not agree to such actions, it lacks humanity."
Although Zhu Xin Xue was younger than Xu Kai, she saw things more clearly in this aspect, allowing her to know the plan’s full picture better.
"You talk too much!" She couldn’t help but curse, "If not for the teacher, someone like you wouldn’t last long in this world. Follow me, the Chenhe group should be coming this way."
Xu Kai hesitated for a moment, looked up, into the sky’s rolling black mist, his voice raspy: "Why leave, just eliminate them."
Zhu Xin Xue tiptoed, slapped Xu Kai on the head: "Are you stupid? There’s an entire army of Chenhe’s right here next to us."
Xu Kai shook his head and said: "They wouldn’t dare come over, afraid of being infected by this Death Curse; before they have countermeasures, they won’t act rashly."
Zhu Xin Xue held her breath, wanting to say something but stopped herself, only saying: "You make sense, but what’s the point of killing them."
Xu Kai earnestly replied: "Of course to accelerate the progress of this war, I actually know."
"Know what?"
"Know about that plan."
Zhu Xin Xue showed a surprised expression: "You know? Who told you?"
Xu Kai remained silent for a while: "Deputy Lin told me personally, I strongly opposed, but there was no way, he’s very determined."
