Chapter 2544
"Don’t move." Before the opponent could escape, Xu Huo spoke up to warn, "Otherwise, the spatial power around you will instantly make you a pincushion."
The Invisible Man indeed didn’t move, not because he heeded the warning, but because he already felt something pressing against him. Although he could sense spatial power, he couldn’t shake it off, and he vaguely discerned the shapes of spatial bodies... These things were actually aimed at his vital points like swords!
"Not moving, not moving, I won’t move!" The Invisible Man immediately said, "Brother, keep your hand steady, don’t let the surrounding chaotic spatial power affect you!"
"Take off the protective suit." Xu Huo said from behind several District 001 players, "I don’t like talking to someone I can’t see."
"You’re such a double standard." The protective color on the Invisible Man began to fade from the top of his head, and soon his face was revealed—a lean man who looked around fifty, he grinned, sticking out his head, "Even this way, I still can’t see you."
With a move of his other hand, Xu Huo effortlessly sliced off all the instruments and props hanging on the man with a spatial ray blade and collected them in passing.
Choosing an instrument that detected time force, Xu Huo said to the District 001 players, "Their equipment is much more advanced than yours, seems like the Holy Sword Society is doing well at the advanced wormhole site."
He tossed the instrument to the person behind him and asked, "Are you from the Holy Sword Society?"
"Yeah." The man, like a Skinny Monkey, had the same smirk, "Brother, you’re not from District 001, are you? I heard that after their super players died, they were in a transitional period, and there isn’t a single Super Evolver who can materialize spatial power."
"Your intelligence might be outdated, but brains don’t lie." He raised his chin, "Even if there is such a person in District 001, it wouldn’t take until now to use them."
"Since you’ve heard of the Holy Sword Society, you should know our strength. We have members in every division, and little gadgets like that one, the Holy Sword Society has as many as you want."
"So, are you interested in joining?"
"Sweet talk!" A Super Evolutionary with Mental Powers used a materialized item to strangle the Skinny Monkey man’s throat, but before he could exert force, it was immediately shattered by another psychic power. When he turned back, he met Xu Huo’s eyes, and at that moment, the mental pressure of the attack nearly overwhelmed him!
The other party glared at him with a grim expression, and at the same time, the other District 001 players were somewhat guarded.
"Do not interrupt my conversation." Xu Huo warned him, as well as the other players, "Otherwise, you can go back now."
This group of players, ten captains, ten Super Evolvers, had already touched base with Chang Yu before coming. Xu Huo wasn’t here to help; on the contrary, he had some friction with District 001, and they had prepared for the worst. If he turned against them, they would take him out at any cost!

The spot was surrounded by hills, and the valley couldn’t be passed through, so they needed to cross over the mountain. Several mountains nearby were within the coverage of time force, leaving players with little room to maneuver. Although District 001 had many people, they had to enter in batches to spread out, and Outer District Forces would ambush them along the way.
Xu Huo and the twenty who protected him entered the mountain ten minutes after the main attack began—with the combat intensity of Rank-A players, ten minutes was quite long. When Xu Huo and his team entered later, they did not encounter an interception, but every so often, they could see players who had died in the forest, some punctured full of holes stuck in spatial power, some wind-dried, and others leaving only their clothes and personal items.
These corpses, having been covered by time force or spatial power, couldn’t be reclaimed, and they happened to serve as safe marker points.
"Did you find your route using these kinds of methods?" Xu Huo couldn’t help admiring the determination of District 001 people. To inherit the super dungeon, the most elite and gifted group of the division should have all gathered here, regardless of whether they succeed, they are surely the backbone of District 001 in the future. Without absolute consensus, they couldn’t make such sacrifices.
"The situation is critical, compared with the whole of District 001, we are nothing." A captain walking in front of him said, "As long as District 001 stands, there will naturally be millions of us in the future."
Just after speaking, she suddenly raised her hand to signal those behind her to stop, then swiftly drew a hidden weapon from her waist and threw it towards a point ahead!
There were two "ding" sounds, indicating the hidden weapon was knocked down by someone. The bushes parted, revealing what seemed to be a person according to its height and shape. However, the person had merged excellently with the surroundings, almost indistinguishable by sight, and he avoided the players’ perception by hiding in a time force angle.
The stronghold’s space-time power was relatively chaotic, and many areas occupied by spatial power were also covered by time force. Invisible spatial barriers and spatial ray blades were everywhere, yet time force was not as dense. It was relatively stable and periodically changed, and uncoated areas were safer for players. This Invisible Player hid behind the angle, avoiding detection using spatial force, and used it as a protective layer, making it hard for others to approach.
Now that the other side could bypass the time force to come out, it was obvious they knew where was safe and where was dangerous.
Xu Huo did not lower his voice deliberately, "Is there a Time-Directed Super Evolver on the other side?"
"Absolutely not!" The captain in front of him affirmed, "Are Time-Directed Super Evolvers like vegetables in the field? Can they be pulled out anywhere?"
"They are using a kind of detecting instrument." She said, raising her hand to show one, "This instrument can approximately detect the general distribution of time force."
Xu Huo glanced at it, a simple instrument with only a pointer that rotates and changes length to indicate proximity when approaching time force.
"Hahaha!" The Invisible Man ahead suddenly laughed. It was a rugged male voice, and he proudly said, "I said the previous wave of attacks was a cover. Sure enough, they’ve reached you!"
As he spoke, the nearby leaves and spatial power moved slightly. The Super Evolvers on the District 001 side immediately stepped forward to invoke spatial power to form a defensive barrier, and they reminded Xu Huo and the others, "Be careful, the Holy Sword Society people excel at using chaotic spatial power for stealth attacks. They came prepared, and general spatial power attacks have a hard time penetrating protective suits."
Indeed, the Invisible Man’s actions were to trigger spatial power, which caused a chain reaction in the surrounding spatial power. Numerous spatial ray blades immediately launched indiscriminate attacks on surrounding objects. Much of the already damaged vegetation was plowed up again. However, this did not last long. A few seconds later, the chaotic spatial power was restructured into rows of spatial bodies, and these spatial bodies interlinked to form a square spatial barrier, enclosing the District 001 players and the Invisible Man within.
