Chapter 284
The four little brats were instantly knocked into the air, their pupils widened in shock, but they couldn’t make a single sound because the girl had completely sealed their mouths.
However, the girl didn’t let them fall to their deaths, she summoned a gust of eerie Yin wind, sweeping the four children up and flying toward the center of the city.
Right at that moment, a figure suddenly dashed out from the void, snatching the four children right out of the wind, then, like a shooting meteor, the figure hurtled toward the outside of the city.
It was Adam, the Chief.
Seeing Adam, pleasant surprise exploded in the eyes of Ava and the others, but they couldn’t vocalize their joy, Adam couldn’t be bothered to undo their seals right now.
"Oh? You came back, I was just about to study these four little ones, it turns out they really are with you." A flash of interest appeared in the girl’s eyes.
"My carelessness let you slip away last time, but it won’t be that easy this time!"
Adam didn’t respond, he simply lowered his head and kept charging.
A flash of anger crossed the girl’s eyes, her figure abruptly vanished, speed pushed to the absolute extreme, she appeared right in front of Adam and launched a devastating palm strike.
"Limitless Profound Ice!"
Adam’s expression shifted, he hadn’t expected her speed to be this absurdly fast, he dodged to the side while throwing out a palm strike to meet hers.
"Great Sun Golden Flame!"
The two palm forces collided with a deafening boom, borrowing the recoil, Adam distanced himself and violently hurled the four children in a specific direction, Cecilia was waiting there to catch them.
When he had rushed back in, he had already seen the changes in Hundred Rivers City.
It was exactly as Sister Sylvia had said, a literal ghost city, staying even a second longer was extremely dangerous.
What a powerful flame! The girl was shocked internally, she knew this person could play with fire, but it was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
"Not bad, you are a bit stronger than I anticipated, however, it’s still not enough!" The girl sneered, her figure vanished, instantly appearing behind Adam to deliver another palm strike imbued with extreme ice power.
Adam’s reaction was lightning fast, with a sidestep, he evaded her attack while simultaneously slashing the Yellow Emperor’s Sword, wreathed in the Great Sun Golden Flame, toward her chest.
The girl vanished again, reappearing at his side to chop toward his neck, Adam tilted his body to dodge and swung his sword toward her abdomen.
The two figures crisscrossed in mid-air at blinding speeds, creating a dazzling and lethal dance.
Ava and the others looked at Cecilia with deep gratitude after being caught, then obediently retreated to the side.
The battle between Adam and the ghastly girl raged on, their combat strength was nearly even, making it difficult to determine a victor in the short term.
"Interesting, I didn’t expect the Yang Realm to have a genius as strong as you, you’re only at the Fourth Heaven of the Deity Realm, aren’t you?!" The girl’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
The hierarchy of the Deity Realm was incredibly strict, aside from peerless, heaven-defying prodigies, challenging someone at a higher realm was exceedingly rare, yet this guy was actually fighting across two whole sub-realms, wasn’t this a bit too absurd?
"Your strength isn’t bad either, why don’t we call it a draw? We clearly can’t break through each other’s defenses anytime soon!" Adam smiled faintly.
The girl narrowed her eyes. "Are you joking? This is my main base! I admire your courage for daring to come back, though!"
"I might not be able to deal with you alone right now, but I have helpers!"
"Young Master, hurry and run! You’re surrounded!" Cecilia’s anxious voice suddenly rang out.
Adam swept his gaze around and saw that he was indeed completely surrounded by ghostly entities, there were also countless black shadows, all experts at the Heaven and Earth Deity Realm.
"Is that so? Do you really think numbers mean anything to me?" Adam’s mouth curled into a confident smile.
"Stop bragging, your personal strength is good, but..."
Before the girl could finish, Adam shouted loudly. "Sister Sylvia!"
The girl was momentarily stunned, so the reason you were acting confident is because you brought backup?
Suddenly, a Yin wind that felt even more underworldly than theirs violently swept through, a graceful woman dressed in a white silk dress materialized right before the girl’s eyes.
But the woman had no face.
The ghastly girl’s pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks.
"Senior?!"
"Senior!" The exclamation rang out, as if she couldn’t believe her own eyes.
The faceless woman extended her fair, delicate palm and waved at the girl.
"Long time no see!"
"Senior, why are you here?!" The girl’s initially surprised gaze suddenly carried a hint of panic.
"Why can’t I be here? It seems you all have taken this step after all!" The faceless woman’s voice carried a trace of disappointment and helplessness.
"Senior, we had no other choice, the Underworld is nearing its breaking point!" The girl took a step forward, hurriedly explaining.
The faceless woman shook her head. "I know, say no more, I am taking these people with me. River shouldn’t mind, right?"
"Senior, this..." A look of struggle flashed in the girl’s eyes.
"Let them go!" Suddenly, a majestic voice echoed from the distance, brimming with absolute authority.
"Yes, Great Emperor!" The girl bowed deeply in compliance.
"River, look out for yourself, don’t let all your efforts end up as nothing in the end!" the faceless woman said toward the direction of the voice. But the other party did not respond.
Adam, Cecilia, and the others had just regrouped, watching this scene, even though they already had an inkling, they were still incredibly shocked, Great Emperor, a figure the girl addressed as a Great Emperor was undoubtedly a supreme powerhouse.
Yet Sister Sylvia actually called him directly by his name, Sister Sylvia’s true identity was even more terrifying than they had imagined.
"What are you all standing around for? Let’s go. Staying here too long will damage your meridians!" The faceless woman took the lead, flying toward the edge of the city, Adam and the others slowly followed!
