Jingcheng.
"Are you sure you want to activate the Lightning Altar? I disagree!"
Facing Gu Sang, the man in black stood with his hands behind his back. Hearing his words, he merely sneered, "You disagree? Did I ask for your opinion?"
"You—!" Gu Sang's face turned icy.
"Speaking of which, it's all your fault for being incompetent!"
The man in black's voice boomed like a bell, his tone fierce.
"I won't hold you accountable for the traitor Gao Tiankai for now, but let's talk about the Wind Altar and the Water Altar. One was destroyed by Yang Jian, and the other by Duan Chen. I can understand Duan Chen, but what about Yang Jian?!"
"How can a dignified Apostle fail to deal with a mere Spirit Hunter Agent?!"
The man in black gradually approached Gu Sang, sneering coldly.
"It seems that no matter how many generations pass, the Apostle with the designation 03 is always this useless!"
"Oh… gentlemen, that's enough, I don't think this issue is worth arguing about."
Galot's sinister voice sounded from the side.
"05, you speak!" The man in black, Apostle No. 07, suddenly turned and looked at the overgrown altar behind him. The altar was carved with obscure and abstruse patterns, and next to it was a small statue of a saintess.
"Logically speaking, we shouldn't activate the Lightning Altar because its geographical location isn't ideal. However, currently, the Wind Altar and the Water Altar have been destroyed, and Duan Chen has accepted the authority of the Divine Faction. Given his personality, he will definitely settle scores later. If he finds the locations of the other altars, we will have no chance of a comeback."
"So?"
Gu Sang impatiently waved his hand.
"Therefore, I believe that activating the Lightning Altar and destroying Taohuatan is an unavoidable undertaking."
"What about the turbulent flow? Are you really going to send so many of our kin to their deaths? Even if we can pass through the turbulent flow, so what? Don't forget, there's a saintess guarding the other side! As long as we can't get through, the sea monsters who go there are doomed!"
"Then we'll go through, won't we?"
Apostle No. 07 scoffed at his timidity.
"Are you sure you want to attract the attention of Duan Chen and the Divine Faction at this time?"
Gu Sang's voice was low.
"There will be a battle between us sooner or later. Since that's the case, what is there to fear?!"
As soon as No. 07 finished speaking, dense sea monsters emerged from behind Nia.
"You—I don't care anymore. Who's going this time?"
"05 and I will be responsible for interfering with the turbulent flow. This time, you will lead them."
"I understand."
Gu Sang's expression softened slightly. He couldn't deal with Duan Chen, but could he not deal with a mere saintess of Taohuatan?
"I hope this time, you won't disappoint us."
Nia also walked over, smiling sinisterly.
"Everyone, come over, form ranks, and open the passage!"
Apostle No. 07 began to direct. The sea monsters quickly formed a circle around the altar and began to chant spells in low voices. Meanwhile, the others were not idle. Apostle No. 07 poured energy into the altar, and Nia stood by the altar, waiting for the turbulent flow.
"Rumble!"
"05!"
"I know!"
Childish voices and sinister young voices intertwined. Nia stretched out his small hand, and red light immediately erupted from it.
At the same time, a large hole gradually opened above the altar. Lightning struck down, colliding with the red energy in Nia's hand!
"Sizzle!"
Nia poured almost all his strength into it, tearing a rift in the center of the lightning. Apostle No. 07 also rushed over to help.
"Let's go!"
Gu Sang waved his large hand, and a group of sea monsters behind him followed him into the passage.
After the surroundings gradually cleared, the two let go.
"Hmph! If there are any more mistakes this time, I will propose to 01 to remove him from his Apostle position!"
Nia, exhausted, slumped to the ground, and Galot replied.
"Heh heh… let's see the result before we talk."
Taohuatan.
This was an extremely beautiful village. In the center of the village, there was a pond called Taohuatan. The water in the pond was clear to the bottom, and spiritual energy permeated it, making it a feng shui treasure land for nurturing life.
But suddenly, the pond water began to boil violently, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"The Saintess has arrived!"
Chu Yue, dressed in a white dress with flowing hair, heard this and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
"These sea beasts are quite quick to arrive."
"Bang!"
The pond water shot straight into the sky. Gu Sang leaped up and arrived at the edge of Taohuatan. Behind him, sea monsters jumped out one after another.
"These ugly things."
Not far away, several girls looked over with disgusted expressions.
Sea monsters without human form were indeed not very good-looking.
Chu Yue stepped forward, facing Gu Sang directly.
"You, are you the Saintess of Taohuatan?"
Gu Sang looked down from above, his gaze quite lazy, clearly not believing this girl had the ability to confront him head-on.
Chu Yue smiled charmingly, her smile enchanting and alluring.
"Guess."
"Hmph! Playing mysterious!"
"Attack!"
Chu Yue waved her small hand, and a thin protective shield enveloped Taohuatan, enclosing her, Gu Sang, and the sea monsters within it.
"Your ability is not bad, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong master. Tell me, how many people have you marked?"
"Guess again?"
"Tsk!"
Gu Sang lost his patience and raised his right hand.
"Nightfall!"
He didn't notice the deep astonishment in Chu Yue's eyes when he uttered these two words.
"Star Bright!"
Darkness enveloped the land. Gu Sang believed that two moves would be enough to deal with Chu Yue!
"Such terrifying power!"
"These bastards!"
Anxious curses from the people of Taohuatan could be heard around. Chu Yue's expression remained unchanged, instead, she revealed a faint smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
Gu Sang's eyelids twitched, sensing something ominous.
When Chu Yue also raised her hand, his heart sank.
Then, Chu Yue's lips parted slightly.
"Nightfall!"
"Star Bright!"
"Moonfall!"
"Sunrise!"
Gu Sang's expression gradually shifted from astonishment to disbelief.
"What the hell!"
When did his ultimate skills become so common that anyone could use them?
"It's not over yet!"
Chu Yue smiled slyly, thinking that Duan Chen's abilities were indeed very useful.
"Sequence 012: [Pseudo-Railgun!]"
"Sequence 021: [Ten Thousand Fists Unite!]"
"Sequence 035: [Raven Swarm!]"
"Sequence… oh dear…"
Chu Yue covered her mouth with her small hand, feeling a little sorry for Duan Chen.
His spiritual power seemed insufficient.
"I, I'll be damned!"
Gu Sang couldn't help but curse. He felt as if he was facing a female version of Duan Chen.
Even the real Duan Chen wouldn't use so many moves without regard for the consequences!
Who exactly was this woman?
Unable to withstand the terrifying pressure of spiritual power, Gu Sang turned and ran.
And Chu Yue's next words made him completely lose hope.
"Sequence 030: [Void Domain!]"
