Chapter 1983: The Arrival of 【Chaos】
Su Yuan stood frozen on the spot.
"He……"
Su Yuan seemed to want to explain something, but she suddenly realized that her previous answer could equally be applied to Su Zhe as well……
She had done this indeed to keep Su Zhe in Great Xia, to give him a more stable life…… but would his heart truly feel grateful for all of this? Or would he also feel abandoned?
Su Yuan stood alone before the stone city, as motionless as a sculpture.
"Deputy Leader, do you think the Ancestral Gods' teleportation will succeed?"
Han Chuang stood alone off to the side, his heart also tense. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over to Lu Baoyou's side and tried to lighten the mood.
Lu Baoyou didn't answer. His gaze was fixed on the direction of Great Xia, seemingly spaced out like Su Yuan.
"Deputy Leader?" Seeing Lu Baoyou didn't respond, Han Chuang carefully spoke again.
Lu Baoyou snapped back to attention, shaking his head expressionlessly. "I don't know."
"……Oh."
Han Chuang sighed inwardly…… Knowing Lu Baoyou's personality, he should have known better than to try.
But again, it was rare to see Lu Baoyou make such an expression…… He seemed to be looking in the direction of Great Xia? What was he thinking about?
Could it be that even someone as cold as Lu Baoyou had someone he cared about on his mind before death?
Han Chuang was curious but didn't dare ask. He could only crouch silently to the side.
A moment later, Li Zhenzhen walked out from the Ancestral God Temple. Though her eyes were slightly red, her gaze was resolute. The moment she stepped through the temple doors, a low rumble echoed from within!
Boom——!!
A void vortex opened on the sea's surface, and this magnificent stone city slowly sank into the vortex.
Lu Baoyou waved his hand gently, and dark red wings sprouted from behind everyone, lifting them high into the sky…… About half a minute later, the Ancestral God Temple standing atop the sea vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Everyone flew in the air, waiting for the Ancestral Gods to complete their final arrangements……
As if the waiting was too agonizing, Han Chuang directly pulled out his phone, opened the livestream room sitting at the top of the trending searches, and spoke in shock:
"The 【Night Watch】 squad is back?"
At these words, everyone present turned to look. Han Chuang flipped the phone around, and in the screen, seven deep crimson figures were slaughtering through the black tide, barely holding back the Cthulhu Faction army.
"It must be the power of 【King's Star Coins】." Li Zhenzhen covered her mouth, unable to contain her emotion. "Commander Lin……"
Most members of the 【Demon】 squad had been promoted personally by Lin Qiye. In their hearts, Lin Qiye's status was just like Zhou Ping's status in the hearts of the 【Night Watch】 squad members.
"Commander Lin has suffered so much……" Su Yuan murmured softly. "First the battle at Sunken Dragon Pass, then three consecutive days of preparing forbidden spells, then single-handedly holding back the Cthulhu Faction army, and now even his memories are at stake…… He's fighting with everything he has."
"But as long as 【Black Goat】 and 【Chaos】 are together, even if Commander Lin recreates the 【Night Watch】 squad, there won't be a chance of victory……"
Li Zhenzhen's fists clenched tightly. She took a deep breath and said, "Commander Lin has a great debt of gratitude to us…… No matter what, we must complete our mission. Lure and kill 【Chaos】—only this can relieve his pressure."
Liu Jun nodded, about to say something when a sudden explosion rang out from the emptiness above their heads!
Boom——!!
The space above everyone collapsed骤然ly, carving out a mysterious and intricate pattern.
An ancient aura drifted from this pattern. At the same time, on the livestream, above 【Chaos】's head, an identical pattern also took shape. The two patterns, separated by thousands of kilometers, resonated with each other, beginning to vibrate at the same frequency!
In the screen, 【Chaos】 raised its head, looking at the trembling space above, seemingly somewhat surprised.
The next moment, its figure was swallowed by a vortex and vanished!
"It's coming!!"
A flash of sharpness appeared in Lu Baoyou's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.
Massive spatial power erupted from the void's pattern. As 【Chaos】's form disappeared from the screen, this remaining single pattern's vibration grew more and more intense, as if bearing something extremely heavy, teetering on the brink of collapse!
At this moment, everyone's heart hung in their throats along with that swaying pattern……
Would it succeed in one go? It all depended on this moment!
Just as the pattern swayed to its limit, a cold hum sounded from the distant void. Then, a palm reached out凭空, smashing the spatial pattern above into fragments with one strike!
Fragments of shattered space scattered, a buzzing sound echoed through the clouds. Almost simultaneously, five streaks of white light flew from the seabed, merging into the bodies of the 【Demon】 squad members!
They were the separated "Earth Anchors"!
"It failed!!"
Lu Baoyou immediately spoke. "Move!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the other four figures simultaneously flapped their dark red wings, darting toward where that palm had reached out like lightning. Meanwhile, Lu Baoyou paused briefly in place before flying forward!
The fastest movement method for the 【Demon】 squad was his Fallen Wings, so until the very last moment, Lu Baoyou had to ensure his own survival.
Once he died, the other team members would lose the speed boost from the wings. Not only would they be unable to complete the mission, the final outcome would only be being chased down by 【Chaos】 and killed one by one!
The good news was that 【Chaos】's landing point was only slightly over thirty kilometers from where the Ancestral God Temple had been. At their current speed, they could cross this distance within six seconds. The sea surface was sliced by the high-speed flying figures, leaving trails of white spray, all the way to where the spatial fragments were!
The hand reaching out from the spatial fragments pulled hard, directly tearing a large area of emptiness apart. Immediately after, 【Chaos】's body slowly emerged from within.
"Spatial teleportation of this caliber? You think that could trap me?"
【Chaos】 let out a cold hum. Just as half its body stepped out of the void, four blade glints slashed out from different directions, all slicing toward its neck simultaneously!
Clang——!!
A shadow flashed across 【Chaos】's jet-black skin surface, and the four Straight Blades were instantly sent flying!
"Run!!" Li Zhenzhen shouted upon seeing this. All four of them simultaneously charged toward the southwest, west, northwest, and north directions respectively, transforming into dark crimson streaks of light that vanished on the spot.
This all happened too fast. From the four blade glints being slashed out to the rapid escape, it took at most a second.
"Hmm?"
【Chaos】, just having stepped out of the void, let out a surprised exclamation. Its gaze followed the four figures flying away, its eyes narrowing slightly.
"So it's the Ancestral Gods' aura again……"
【Chaos】 touched its neck where the Straight Blade had struck. A gleam of light flashed in its eyes, and it then stepped forward, transporting itself toward one of the fleeing figures!
