"Bang!"
"Ah—!"
Gao Wei let out a scream and lost her balance, falling directly to the ground.
But the next second, green viscous fluid flowed from the passenger's exploded head, and several tentacles flailed wildly in the air, coiling towards her.
"Slap!"
Jia Yunlian whipped her whip, tightly entangling the tentacles. A blood thorn emerged and directly severed the tentacles.
The tentacles fell to the ground and even twitched a couple of times.
"What I meant by getting on the wrong plane wasn't what you thought."
Duan Chen extended his hand and helped Gao Wei up.
"What… what's going on?"
Gao Wei's voice trembled with fear, bordering on tears.
"So, this isn't a real plane, but an illusion."
The matter of Apostles was inconvenient to discuss with ordinary people, so Duan Chen glossed over it vaguely.
"Are you Spirit Hunters?"
Gao Wei asked curiously.
"Yes, this is my agent ID. You can inspect it." Duan Chen presented his senior agent ID to Gao Wei.
"Ah, that's good. To tell you the truth, my husband is also an agent, just not as skilled as you. He was only a mid-level agent and sacrificed himself not long ago."
"That's truly a pity."
Duan Chen sighed. Sacrifice wasn't particularly rare among Spirit Hunters. It was less common before the Sea Demons appeared, but the sacrifice rate had clearly increased since their emergence, unstoppable.
"Master, there's no time for idle chatter."
Yan Qiu Ren approached Duan Chen, his tone somber.
Duan Chen looked up and saw the passengers ahead had all stood up, their eyes vacant as they stared in this direction.
"Are they… all Sea Demons?"
Gao Wei cowered back.
"Don't be afraid, these Sea Demons aren't high-level."
"Sequence 035: [Dark Raven Swarm!]"
The Raven Swarm flew out from behind. However, the space was narrow, forcing Duan Chen and the others to duck to let the ravens pass.
"Explode!"
"Boom!"
The ravens exploded, scattering feathers. The heads of a few Sea Demons were directly blown apart, while more Sea Demons reacted in time, forming shields in front of them.
Tian Qi frowned and flicked a water bullet.
"Pfft!"
"As Sea Demons, you've become slaves to humans?"
"Despicable!"
"Kill her!"
"Kill her!"
Duan Chen snorted, "Do you think you can touch someone I care about as you please?"
"Sequence 021: [Myriad Fists Unite!]"
Dense fist shadows appeared in mid-air, eventually merging into a massive spiritual energy fist.
"Form up!"
The Sea Demons roared. The airplane seats around them slowly disappeared, and a mysterious and obscure formation gradually appeared on the ground.
"Tian Qi, what formation is this?"
Tian Qi furrowed her brow tightly.
"Synthesis."
Soon, Duan Chen understood the meaning of these two words. The Sea Demons erupted with blinding white light, which gradually fused together. When the dazzling light dissipated, Duan Chen and the others saw a monstrous stitched-together creature before their eyes.
It was less a stitched monster and more a chimera.
The Sea Demons had all revealed their true forms, including octopuses and disgusting slime monsters. They had all fused into one, becoming a disgusting, enormous monster. The top of the airplane seemed on the verge of being ripped apart, making creaking noises.
"So disgusting," Tu Fei Yuan said with a look of revulsion.
"A cat can talk?"
"I can do a backflip too!" he retorted with an eye-roll.
"Roar—Gurgle gurgle—"
A cacophony of various sounds intermingled, causing extreme annoyance. Duan Chen's brow furrowed tightly, his impatience threatening to overflow.
"Damn it!"
His eyes turned red, and the giant fist suspended before him slammed forward fiercely!
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, everything returned to silence.
"Duan, Duan Chen…"
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun Lian called his name with a trembling voice.
"What is it?!"
Duan Chen replied impatiently.
"Master, look ahead…" Yan Qiu Ren took a few steps back, his eyes filled with both fear and astonishment.
Tears flowed from Gao Wei's eyes.
Only then did Duan Chen realize something was amiss and looked ahead.
He froze abruptly, as if a muffled thunderclap had struck his mind, causing Duan Chen to fall to his knees.
What he had obliterated with the Myriad Fists Unite wasn't Sea Demons at all?
They were clearly people!
Living, breathing people!
The airplane cabin door was smeared with a thick layer of minced meat, even interspersed with human eyeballs and fingers…
He had killed people!
Impossible… Duan Chen distinctly remembered seeing Sea Demons with his True Sight.
At this moment, a cold, ethereal voice suddenly echoed from the surroundings.
"Duan Chen, it seems you trust your True Sight implicitly."
"Then… is everything your True Sight sees truly real?"
"Look at the tragic scene before you. This is the result of you using your True Sight."
"You are inherently a demon!"
Everyone present could hear this voice.
"I am not!" Duan Chen, uncharacteristically losing his composure, replied in a near-manic tone.
"Come, return to the embrace of the Evil God. Only we can accept you…"
"You belong to the Evil God."
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the airplane vanished, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness ahead.
"It's you?"
Yan Qiu Ren was not unfamiliar with this person. This was the black-clothed man who had made a deal with Jun Wu Chen, the Apostle!
"How is it, Duan Chen? Doesn't killing people feel wonderful?"
The black-clothed man's tone was cheerful. Duan Chen had ruined his plan, and he certainly wouldn't let it go.
"You bastard!"
Jia Yun Lian's voice was icy.
"Oh, let me see. Quite a few acquaintances here. Yan Qiu Ren, Jia Yun Lian, Tian Qi, and… Pandora."
Xil frowned, feeling an unsettling discomfort looking at the person before her.
"Are you… calling me?"
"Of course!"
The black-clothed man extended his hand.
"Come with me. This is your home."
"It is not."
Duan Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, blood trickling down his handsome face onto his clothes. He blocked Xil, his voice chillingly cold.
The black-clothed man's tone changed abruptly.
"You crazy lunatic! What the hell has gotten into you?!"
Duan Chen simultaneously activated his True Sight, God's Eye, and Jian Gu Zhi Yan!
All three eyes open!
The burning sensation within his body relentlessly tormented Duan Chen's internal organs. His vision was blurred by blood, almost unable to make out the scene before him, yet in his heart, he felt an immense exhilaration.
It was like a bottle of ice-cold cola in the scorching sun, or a single piece of advice from someone when facing a bottleneck.
Cool, clear!
The black-clothed man continued to curse.
"Do you really think that by using these few insignificant ocular techniques, you can see your own future path? You idiot! You know absolutely nothing!"
