Chapter 1973: Getting Beaten Up Again
Just by relying on Noob Ying alone, she couldn't possibly block Carl, let alone the fact that Carl went all out from the start, superimposing three domains!
Look at that purple cloud death aura, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, bearing down toward Jingdu!
If it were pressed down firmly, the city of Jingdu would surely be strewn with corpses everywhere!
Yet facing this situation, Yang Jian didn't even turn on the alarm!
The seven-colored snail shell in his hand gleamed as he let out a sneer.
(￢～￢ꐦ) "If I really let you massacre the city, I might as well not live!"
The Godslayer Assembly Horn had already been sounded long ago!
Just then, extremely intense spatial fluctuations suddenly came from the distant sky.
Baldr and Pang Badi abruptly appeared on the scene!
There stood Baldr holding two Godslayer Watermelon Knives, the spatial fluctuations around him incredibly terrifying!
(ꐦ◣⥎◢ꐦ) "I heard someone here wants to fight?"
"Domain Expansion • Boundless Forbidden Zone!"
In an instant, Baldr's domain wildly expanded outward, enveloping the entire sky above Jingdu City!
Carl immediately bristled with anger!
But Baldr didn't say a word; the watermelon knife in his hand slashed down fiercely!
The two were clearly extremely far apart, but eerily, it was as if they were right in front of each other!
Within the domain, distance meant nothing to Baldr!
Even though Carl had unfolded his own domain, two flashes of blade light streaked past!
One of Carl's arms was severed on the spot, and the other knife slashed heavily into Igor's head!
It split his skull wide open!
Carl simply couldn't defend against Baldr's attacks!
On the other side, Pang Badi let out a loud roar!
٩(•̀益•́๑)۶ "Domain Expansion • Pang Badi's Magic Ring • Golden Law!"
A phantom of a golden ring emerged behind Pang Badi, and the golden circle wildly expanded!
Within the range covered by his domain, high-rises, streets, streetlights, benches—everything, absolutely everything, was assimilated into gold!
In an instant, an entire block turned into an extremely dazzling golden city!
Even the toxic cloud death aura falling from the sky was assimilated into golden mist!
It turned into small particles that rustled down from the sky, directly causing a golden rain!
Within his domain, as long as Pang Badi wanted, he could assimilate almost anything into any material!
He struck right off the bat with Golden Law!
Yang Jian's mouth twitched as he watched: "Boss Pang sure knows how to make an entrance, directly gifting a golden block?"
Igor was holding his head, his eyes full of fear:
୧(꒦ິ益//꒦ີ)୨ "Lord Carl! We should retreat! Or we're going to get beaten up again soon!"
"We've already probed enough! Let's get out of here fast!"
Carl gritted his teeth so hard they nearly broke, his eyelid twitching as he looked at Baldr:
(⚆益⚆ꐦ) "Just wait! You damn bastards just wait for me!"
Then he turned around and fled with his people!
Baldr waved his hand grandly: "Boundless!"
The space in front of Carl was highly compressed. What appeared to be three meters away was actually three hundred thousand meters of space compressed into three meters!
So near, yet so far! The Boundless Forbidden Zone!
Even though Carl was running with all his might, his movement speed was slower than a snail!
Baldr was already charging over with his knife!
Igor urged urgently:
(ง´༎ຶ口//༎ຶ`)ง "Run! Just damn run! Or we'll get wiped out!"
Carl retorted urgently: "I'm already damn running!"
From the distant sky, beams of light and furious roars came!
There was Ba Di charging wildly with a Godslayer Shovel on his back: "That grandma's—last time I didn't get to fight to my heart's content, but do you think you can escape this time?"
"Domain Expansion • Master of All!"
From the north, Bai Kou and Mi Ye also arrived!
"Domain Expansion • Extreme Cold Snow Country!"
"Domain Expansion • Crimson King!"
Not just those two; from the distant sky, Piers brought Martin charging over: "Hey! Where do you think you're going, you bastard!"
On the land of Hua Xia, Dao Heaven after Dao Heaven had Pocket Rabbits on their heads and Godslayer Weapons in hand as they charged this way!
Every last one of them had red eyes, all villains, with a posture like they were going to chop Carl and his group to bits!
07 was almost scared to tears. Was he going to have to leave some parts behind today?
(⁰⁷థ益థ) "Dimension Ascension! Hurry and ascend!"
Baldr swung his knife, slashing fiercely: "Try ascending? My forbidden zone, I call the shots! Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
"When I was at Dao Heaven, I still feared you! But now I'm Transcendent, and you're nothing!"
Carl roared, turning back and swinging his Holy Judgment Sword fiercely at Baldr!
But it passed straight through Baldr's body!
He had obviously used intangibility!
Baldr struck out with his knife, directly cutting off one of Carl's horns!
It instantly crippled his Kingdom of the Dead!
"Dimension Gate!"
Clutching his head, Carl opened a gate and, together with Igor and 07, dived straight in!
Baldr's eyes widened: "Where do you think you're going? Spatial Blast!"
"Boom!"
At the edge of the domain, space exploded, and Carl and the two other Bose were flung out!
But they still struggled and managed to burst out of Baldr's domain!
Baldr raised his watermelon knife high:
٩(◣д◢ꐦ)و "Brothers, follow me in pursuit! Chop him up!"
All the Transcendents shouted in unison and gave chase in the direction Carl fled, looking utterly miserable!
A massive crowd of experts rushed out in a torrent!
Qian Bennan, who had been floating in midair, stopped pretending and reverted to his original form!
(◦˙◡˙◦) "I... did I act pretty convincingly just now?"
Xia Yao gave a thumbs up:
(๑͡°◠͡°)✧ "The way you acted all frustrated and furious was super realistic. Thumbs up!"
Qian Benying: (≖﹏≖∗)
That part wasn't acting at all, hey!
Jiang Ning's mouth twitched. Once human space-type users reached Transcendent and gained their own domain, they were really too dominant!
Within their own domain, they could even force a Bose Body out of the fourth dimension!
Looks like Baldr had put a lot of effort into dealing with Bose entities too!
Lan bounced over, picked up the horn that had just been cut off Carl, lovingly breathed on it, wiped it on her clothes, and stuffed it into her pocket.
Brother Jiangnan likes collecting these, right? She'd save it for him. Hehe~
...
At the Noah's Manor on Black Street, Jiangnan, who had just hung up the video call, felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
So Carl had attacked according to plan after all?
Given Lan Xing's current foundation, Jiangnan probably didn't need to worry about Qian Benying's safety; Baldr and the others could probably handle it, right?
Right after that, Xing Luo would learn his true identity, and then things wouldn't be peaceful anymore.
Hopefully, he could make it to the Black Mark Assembly in time!
He peeked at the living room; the others were still sleeping soundly.
Jiangnan then took out from his Alternate Dimension the ear stud that had been wrapped in layers, even covered with a Dull Sack.
He put it on his left earlobe and began cultivating and consolidating again.
On the mahjong table, Olivia had actually woken up long ago, but she just lay there without moving.
Using her Whisper of the Divine ability, she secretly tried to predict the scene of her sneaking into the inner room to eavesdrop.
But Jiangnan's defenses were unusually tight—he even used Spatial Barrier for soundproofing.
She didn't predict anything interesting. She clutched her blanket, feeling a strong itch of curiosity.
Her thirst for knowledge grew even stronger!
All she knew was that Jiangnan had been video-calling someone and laughing very happily.
Since she'd met Jiangnan, she'd never seen him laugh so happily—not even with her.
He must have been calling home, right?
Jiangnan's home? So he still had a home... Where was her home, then?
Thinking of this, Olivia's eyes grew a little moist. She wrapped her blanket around herself and fell into a dazed sleep.
...
The next morning, Xing Cheng suddenly shot up from the mahjong table!
On her little face was even an imprint of the character "Fa"!
(⁼̴﹃⁼̴發) "Nan Bao'er! Time to eat! There are still three thousand bowls of breakfast to finish!"
Jiangnan covered his face. Good grief, she was still keeping track? More punctual than an alarm clock?
He routinely took everyone downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.
During the meal, Yue Li sent Jiangnan a message saying she was busy preparing for the Black Mark Assembly today and couldn't get away.
The highest-level invitation had already been sent to him via Ah Qiang.
He could just go directly when the time came.
Jiangnan grinned. After a few days of warm-up, the Black Mark Assembly was finally starting, huh?
After the meal, under the resentful gaze of the chef brother, Jiangnan led Olivia, Ye Yuan, and the others, along with the 108 Teletubbies, straight out onto the street. Ah Qiang was already waiting outside Noah's Manor.
Just then, Qiu Niao flashed with blood light and appeared in front of Jiangnan.
꒰ঌ(๑ꆤヮꆤ)໒꒱ "Going to the Black Mark Assembly, right? I'm heading that way too!"
Jiangnan was surprised: (•︠～•︡) "You're going too? You're the person in charge of Noah's Manor. Don't you need to keep an eye on the shop? What if someone causes trouble..."
At this, Qiu Niao gave Jiangnan a look like he was an idiot.
꒰ঌ(￢_￢)໒꒱ "Don't you know? Today is Black Street's Black Mark Assembly, and also the Ceasefire Day!"
"The Black Mark Assembly only opens once every many years. It's Black Street's grand ceremony. Anyone who dares to cause trouble today would be ruining Lord Noah's business!"
"Looking to die? Everyone coming to the Black Mark Assembly is a big shot. Naturally, we have to ensure a good consumer experience. Nobody wants things to get all chaotic and dirty!"
"As long as you're on Black Street, on Black Mark Assembly day, everyone has to give Lord Noah face. Once you leave Black Street, do whatever you want."
So Qiu Niao also wanted to go along and join the fun.
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. Wasn't this perfect? This would save him a lot of trouble!
This Noah really knew how to do business, huh? After all, coming to the Black Mark Assembly—if personal safety couldn't even be guaranteed...
If you bought treasures and got robbed as soon as you stepped out, who would dare come to spend money?
With this, Jiangnan felt much more confident.
Olivia swallowed her saliva. Why did she always have a bad feeling about this?
Qiu Niao winked: ꒰ঌ(๑◔◡◔ิ)໒꒱ "Speaking of which, you still have quite a few angel eggs in your pocket, right? Why keep them? If they hatch out again, that would be bad. Just open them all!"
Jiangnan's mouth twitched. Just how much did this guy hate angels?
He firmly refused: "No way. I picked them up with great difficulty. I'm keeping them for important use! Let's go, let's go!"
"Hey? Your feathers are growing back pretty fast, huh?"
[From Qiu Niao...]
The group left Noah's Manor in a mighty stream.
But they ran into Wen Ge head-on. He was walking down the street with his head lowered, looking utterly dejected, heading straight for Noah's Manor.
(◞‸◟)...
Jiangnan was surprised: (◕•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Little Gege? Where are you going?"
Wen Ge kept his head down, looking indifferent:
(ᇂ_ᇂ|||) "Nowhere much, I..."
Halfway through his words, Wen Ge suddenly froze. Hmm?
Why did this voice sound so familiar?
