Woo woo woo!
"Monster invasion! All citizens, please proceed to the shelters! Monster invasion! All citizens, please proceed to the shelters!"
Following the King of the Deep Sea's roar and the appearance of the swarm, piercing alarms began to sound throughout the city.
"Run!"
"Move it, don't block my way!"
Beep beep beep!
As soon as the alarms sounded, the entire city erupted in chaos, with people rushing toward the nearest shelters.
Vehicles on the streets became gridlocked, with horns blaring incessantly.
Three streets away from where the swarm appeared, a middle-aged yellow man looked mockingly at the purple-mist-shrouded district in the distance: "A bunch of trash. Such simple tricks are enough to make you run around in circles."
He quickly walked toward the center of the city. After consuming the black woman, his bugs gained the ability of Parasitic Clone.
The defeated Motley in the distance was composed of only one-tenth of his own bugs; even its memories were fabricated, making it believe it was the real person, thus deceiving the Mental-type search and drawing away the strong Awakened Ones nearby.
On the other side, Liu Zhiyuan moved rapidly along the street, his target not the chunk of flesh in the center.
Meanwhile, in the next block, He Xuelin had also transformed into the appearance of an ordinary person, blending into the crowd and running forward quickly.
Here, all Flesh-and-Blood Beings understood that this was not a place where ordinary people gathered outside, but a death trap where a large number of Awakened Ones converged. Only by surviving could they seize everything they desired.
'Strength is useless here. There are always those stronger than you. Only by relying on my Illusion Ability can I break through the encirclement.' He Xuelin's eyes flickered. Not far from him, he could see a Fifth-Level Awakener leaping across rooftops, completely unaware of his presence.
Soon, he ran out of one street and arrived at an intersection.
However, before that, there was still trouble he needed to deal with. He Xuelin stopped at the intersection and turned to look down the street on his right.
Amidst the chaotic traffic and crowds, a young man with a stiff expression, wearing a white shirt and gray trousers, walked toward him.
The two looked at each other, their eyes meeting. There was no killing intent, only the desire to devour.
He Xuelin's body swelled, blackness enveloped his form, and his face became hideous.
"Ah! A monster!"
As soon as this appearance manifested, the surrounding crowds instantly scattered in terror.
This also alerted the nearby Awakened Ones to their presence.
"They're over there!"
"Kill them!"
"Hahaha! That credit is mine!"
Over a dozen Awakened Ones rushed toward the pair, their faces twisted into ferocious expressions, with various energy fluctuations appearing around them.
However, the two paid no attention to these small fry.
Swish! A Body-Type young man, holding an Alloy Machete, suddenly appeared behind He Xuelin, who had turned into a black entity.
A look of madness appeared on his face, and he swung the machete down toward the black monster's head: "I found the opening!!!"
Pfft! The monster's head was easily severed. He shouted excitedly, his face alight: "I cut off its head!"
Bang! Suddenly, a fireball appeared from the side and struck the young man's head directly. The immense power caused his head to explode instantly.
"Hahaha! I took down the monster!" Immediately, a fat man rushed over, shouting.
Pfft! Before he could celebrate for a few seconds, his body was suddenly sliced in half. A woman in the distance said with disdain: "With only this much strength, you dare to cause trouble..."
Liu Zhiyuan watched expressionlessly as the Awakened Ones, halfway through their charge, suddenly began killing each other. He looked at He Xuelin standing in the distance: "Is this your ability? Truly terrifying."
"The truly terrifying part is yet to come!" He Xuelin sneered back but remained motionless.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes moved slightly. He suddenly raised his left hand and casually waved it backward.
Snap! Bang!
The scene of the world in front of him cracked and shattered, and the body of He Xuelin standing before him vanished.
One meter behind him, He Xuelin had appeared unnoticed, his hands outstretched, stopping ten centimeters from Liu Zhiyuan's neck.
His entire body was tightly bound by shadows.
A serious expression appeared on He Xuelin's face: "When did you find me? Theoretically, you shouldn't have been able to sense me."
Liu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at him, his stiff face speaking: "Although I can't see you, I can see shadows. Die!"
Pfft! As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow beneath Liu Zhiyuan's feet suddenly transformed into a black spike and pierced He Xuelin's head.
The expected head explosion did not occur; instead, a mass of black liquid flowed down.
He Xuelin's body merged into liquid, and a voice came from within the liquid: "It seems you are a troublesome enemy. I'll withdraw first. You can play with those Awakened Ones."
After transforming into liquid, the shadow restraints were no longer effective, and the liquid flowed out of the shadow.
At the same time, several Level Five auras rapidly approached from the distance.
"An evildoer like you, do you think I would let you go!" Liu Zhiyuan felt a sudden urgency, pointed his hand at the liquid that had moved dozens of meters away, and shouted coldly.
Whoosh!
The shadow beneath him quickly condensed into a fist-sized sphere, shooting toward the liquid.
Swish! The sphere was so fast that it crossed dozens of meters instantly and struck the black liquid. Upon contact, a large amount of the black liquid was absorbed into the sphere.
"Ahhh!" Sounds of pain emanated from within the liquid.
"I originally didn't want to fight you so soon, but for the sake of my family, I must risk everything to kill you!" In just an instant, over one-third of the black liquid was consumed, and the remaining liquid roared.
Bang! A large amount of black liquid quickly formed a three-meter-tall black liquid humanoid monster.
"Roar!" It roared at Liu Zhiyuan. No one could stop its determination to revive its family!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two black spheres struck its upper and lower body, and the roaring sound instantly ceased.
Three spheres returned to Liu Zhiyuan's side. He said with a stiff face: "How can a murderer who has killed countless innocent people speak of family?"
The three spheres were all independent spaces, only capable of trapping the target and causing them to lose control of parts of their body.
But this was enough for Liu Zhiyuan. The confrontation between the two was virtually a crushing victory for Liu Zhiyuan over He Xuelin.
He Xuelin had no power to fight back at all.
A black sphere appeared near his mouth. A White Mask appeared on Liu Zhiyuan's face, and he opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Then came the second and third black spheres.
When the three spheres were swallowed, four Level Fives appeared simultaneously at the intersection.
Fang Wenyu, Qin Wan, Wan Tianhong, and Cao Li—the four of them looked at Liu Zhiyuan, who now wore a mask in the center.
"Alright, the first kill of the day is secured!" Qin Wan placed both hands on her chest, raised her left hand to her mouth, and smiled faintly.
