They displayed the full ugliness of primitive savagery. They even ate their own kind!
Flying or running, their speed was extre. A single leap could carry them over a mountain peak. In just a few minutes, they would reach Luo Fu City.
The residents of Luo Fu City: "!!!"
"Run, run for your lives!"
"Mommy, I'm so scared..."
"It's over, we're completely dood!"
Cars on the roads charged wildly, with no semblance of order or control. People poured out from every building, crowding the streets and alleys as they fled in a panic, running blindly. Having just exhausted their energy, they looked up to see Si Dele's massive body floating above the city, gazing down at all living beings with a mocking stare.
Soon after, other beings from the Underworld appeared, scattered across the streets, rooftops, and walls.
"Hehehe—"
"Human flesh turns sour with fear. We, however, love that sourness!"
"So what are we waiting for? Let the feast begin!"
They licked their sharp teeth, drool flowing as they reached for the nearby crowd.
"No!!"
The crowd scread in agony, their eyes nearly bursting from their sockets.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Amid the sound of sirens, soone fired a few puny bullets. They hit their mark, but all of them were deflected, unable to even pierce the rough skin of Si Dele and its kind. It was utterly futile.
「In the capital.」
The elders were at a complete loss. One of them said urgently, "Quickly cut the live feed! Don't let people keep watching this!"
All major platforms promptly complied. Viewers and netizens, faced with pitch-black screens, were filled with fear and anger.
"Why did they stop the broadcast?"
"We want to know the truth!"
"Have those monsters gone to Luo Fu City?"
"What is happening to our compatriots in the city?"
"Who can save them? And who will be able to save us next?"
「Supre Pavilion.」
Jiang Shan, already exhausted, seed to age ten years in an instant. He trembled as he raised a cup to his lips, gulping down several mouthfuls of tea, but his throat remained dry and his heart bitter.
"Continue the broadcast!" he ordered. "Publicize the situation in Luo Fu City in real-ti for all to see!"
"But..." soone began, wanting to object out of concern.
"If we don't let them see, do you think they won't panic? It's better for them to retain hope while witnessing it with their own eyes than to despair in ignorance," Jiang Shan said solemnly.
"Hope? Is there any hope left?"
"Of course. We still have the State Preceptor, Long Tianji!"
"Hmm?"
"That's right! Where is State Preceptor Long now? Why hasn't he gone there yet?"
Jiang Shan's gaze swept over the elders whose spirits had already collapsed. He sighed deeply in his heart. Lin Tang, oh Lin Tang, until your master returns, we can only pin our hopes on you. I hope you can hold on for as long as possible, otherwise...
...
WHOOSH!
The black screen suddenly regained its signal. The scene was Luo Fu City!
BOOM!
Vehicles exploded and buildings collapsed. The asphalt roads cracked inch by inch, and streetlights toppled one after another like dominoes. This caused high-voltage power lines to snap, creating a shower of sparks. So of the lines happened to fall right on a being from the Underworld. Sizzling electric arcs flashed across its body.
People scread and fled, but still looked back to see what would happen. Can such high voltage electrocute it? they wondered, clutching at a straw of hope.
But the being from the Underworld, after a fit of convulsions, was not only unhard but seed invigorated.
"This feels great!"
It appeared to be instantly addicted, an expression of pure bliss on its face. It let the electric wires wrap around it while simultaneously sweeping out a hand to grab several people. As they died, their bodies stiffening, it stuffed them into its mouth and swallowed them whole!
The digestive capabilities of the beings from the Underworld were incredible. Their stomachs could instantly fill with a highly corrosive liquid that could lt even steel in monts, let alone human flesh. Not even scraps or waste were left behind. Thus, even though this particular creature was over three ters tall, it could efficiently devour dozens, even hundreds, of people. It never had to worry about its stomach's capacity or the need to excrete waste.
Under their efficient destruction, the clean and magnificent modern city was devastated in the blink of an eye, engulfed in flas and ruin. The human casualty rate skyrocketed.
These live images filled viewers and netizens with sorrow and terror. Countless people wept, completely powerless. They couldn't help but cry out again.
Who can save us?
Who can turn the tide?
Does a savior truly exist in this world?
「Jiangbei, Villa Number One.」
Dong Mingfeng and the others' mouths were agape, their eyes glued to the TV screen. Their hearts constricted violently in shock. Their limbs grew ice-cold, and sweat stread down their faces.
"How are we supposed to fight a monster that even missiles can't kill?"
"So-called martial artists, no matter how strong, are useless!"
"Ridiculous! That guy Lin Tang actually wants to go and fight them head-on? If poison could kill them, I'd take off my head and turn it into a stool for him to sit on!"
"Isn't there still Long Tianji? Didn't they say he could blow up a mountain? Why isn't he here now? Did he know he was no match for these monsters, so he ran away?"
Watching the one-sided massacre, Dong Mingfeng and his group huddled together, nearly wetting themselves in fear. They brought up Long Tianji, questioning his absence.
anwhile, on the internet, countless comnts were frantically @ntioning Long Tianji. So people completely broke down, launching into a tirade against him. They said that after becoming State Preceptor, he was revered and adored by millions, yet at this crucial mont, he had failed them, shirking his duty. They recalled how he would threaten anyone who said a bad word about him online, with his sycophants eagerly helping him punish the offenders. Why the silence now?
「On the scene!」
As the death toll rose, many people lost the strength to run. They collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as the beings from the Underworld approached.
Si Dele casually discarded a corpse it had drained into a desiccated husk. Finding the taste too rich and greasy, it was starting to get picky.
"The taste of children is much better, hehehe—"
Its tail swept out, casually demolishing another building. Then, its gaze shifted and it spotted a kindergarten. Its eyes lit up imdiately.
WHOOSH!
It flickered and instantly appeared in the middle of the playground.
"WAAAH, WAAAH, WAAAH..."
Amid a string of loud, hoarse cries, hundreds of children hid under tables. The teachers clutched their heads, huddled in corners as if they had lost their minds, muttering, "Don't eat , don't eat ..."
The principal was a middle-aged woman with a scholarly deanor. She too was on the verge of losing her mind to fear, but upon seeing the pitiful state of so many children, she took a deep breath. She ran onto the playground and spread her arms wide.
"I beg you, if you must eat soone, eat ! Don't hurt them..."
"Oh?" Si Dele looked down, gazing at this frail human with mocking eyes. "Your courage moves ," it said with a smile, its ferocious aura fading as it grinned. "Since that's the case, I'll spare this place."
"Huh?" The principal was astonished, completely taken aback that the monster would act this way.
This scene happened to be broadcast live, shocking the netizens.
"Do Underworld creatures still retain a trace of humanity?"
"Thank goodness, the children are safe!"
"If they still have so humanity, does that an peace talks are possible?"
"Since our side is completely outmatched, if the Underworld is willing to let most of us live and only eat a few people occasionally, maybe that's acceptable..."
"What? Are you saying we should just surrender? Willingly let them farm us, culling a batch periodically while keeping the rest alive? How can you even think that?"
"What else can we do? Isn't that how we treat animals? It's the law of the jungle."
"Bullshit!"
While so netizens were lost in a heated argunt, Si Dele turned and walked away. The principal stared at its retreating figure, touching her face with a look of soone who had narrowly escaped disaster.
"Thank you..." she whispered softly.
Just as she was about to go comfort the children in the classrooms...
SHINK!
The sharp tip of Si Dele's tail instantly pierced through her chest and abdon.
"I lied! Hahahaha!!" it laughed maniacally, returning to the playground.
It reached out. With a single grab, the classroom walls crumbled like tofu. A dozen children were pulled out by a strong suction force, tumbling out one after another.
Just as they were about to beco snacks for Si Dele...
"BEAST!!"
A cold shout suddenly rang out. Then, several people rushed over!
"We humbly summon the Holy Corpse!"
They ford a circle, bowing deeply to a box covered with a yellow cloth in its center.
HUMMM!
The yellow cloth was tossed aside, revealing a corpse seated in a ditative posture. It radiated a brilliant purple light as a mighty, righteous aura surged to the heavens, instantly enveloping Si Dele.
SIZZLE!
White smoke rose from its skin as if it were burning without a fla.
This left it utterly bewildered. "What is this?!"
