The vehicle door opened, and each person stepped out carrying an oil lamp-shaped Lamp of Will from inside the vehicle.
The grey fog seed to recede slightly due to the lamplight, leaving so space and significantly reducing the concentration nearby—at least enough to see the entire convoy.
The size and number of the convoy clearly reflected a great deal of experience; nothing was above standard.
Although Tao Yu himself possessed ntal Immunity, immune to both pollution and ntal attacks, the oppressive aura brought forth by the pure grey fog still gave him a sense of suppression.
"This is the world’s affliction; the grey fog represents Abyssal power and is also a wound of the world. We, the creatures born in this world, all feel the sorrow," Sun Shiqing seed to notice Tao Yu’s expression, pinching his hand to signal him to relax.
At that mont, Sun Guangyao’s gaze was fixed on the grey fog, and he chuckled lightly,
"Co out, let’s see which old friends are here."
However, in response to Sun Guangyao’s words, the grey fog seed to fall silent. Only after a mont did a hoarse voice travel through,
"Sun Guangyao, don’t think your ferocity allows you to slaughter us all, would you dare to step out without protection?"
Tao Yu had been very nervous, but suddenly hearing that eerie voice, his expression beca sowhat bewildered.
Those words sounded oddly familiar.
"Don’t worry. Uncle’s strength is among the top tier in Floating City, second only to Father, and his ability to preserve life, especially within the grey fog, is the strongest in Starshine City. Perhaps soone could defeat him, but no one can kill him," Sun Shiqing winked at Tao Yu, which made him sowhat enlightened.
No wonder he ca to escort!
As long as they didn’t want to escalate tensions and engage in an all-out conflict, those who moved against them in secret still had their hands tied, not daring to reveal themselves.
A full confrontation would most often result in a loss for both sides!
The battle’s extent was a loss to the entire Floating City, sothing nobody wanted to see.
And just then, suddenly from within the grey fog, there ca a deep drumming sound, thud thud~.
Sun Guangyao scoffed,
"Trying to attract the grey mist giants?"
"That’s not all!"
Almost in tandem with the voice, a flash of light surged toward the convoy, sweeping over it and completely engulfing the last armored vehicle.
Those on it and their cargo vanished without a trace, with no reaction at all.
Tao Yu also only felt his Spirit Perception go wild after the radiance passed over!
If that had hit him, he would’ve had no way to dodge!
But Sun Guangyao didn’t move an inch,
"Is that all?"
Those goods were only incidental, or rather, they were disposable pieces that could be forsaken at any ti.
Even if Sun Guangyao had the ability to save them, he wouldn’t waste a bit of energy...
The death and injury of those people and goods seed to be completely unrelated to him, showing extre indifference.
However, the next mont, Tao Yu saw Sun Guangyao raise his hand, and instantly, a black curtain rose from the ground, seemingly even penetrating into the earth beneath.
That deep and pitch-black curtain shrouded everyone in their vehicle, and only after it covered them did Tao Yu again sense a fleeting sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis ca not from Sun Guangyao but from outside the curtain!
Pop~
Tao Yu could feel the black curtain saturated with Shadow Force violently trembling, a significant amount of force being transferred into thin air, a bit like his own Phase Shift during Demonization, not as ticulous as his own, but much larger in scale, a force so strong that bricks fly!
"The ground outside must have been cleared by now; the other vehicles are probably all gone..." Tao Yu felt a chill within him.
To transfer damage, there had to be a destination, and the most convenient would naturally be the earth itself.
"It’s annoying to keep dealing with them like this. I’ll take care of them for a bit, see if I can pull out so little tails. You all stay here and don’t move," Sun Guangyao turned back to glance at them.
"Go ahead, Uncle. We’ll be careful," Sun Shiyu nodded, her weapon forming a ring behind her.
The next mont, Sun Guangyao’s figure fragnted, turning into endless black gleams and disappeared in an instant, seemingly passing directly through the black curtain to the outside.
Before long,
Boom!
The violent shaking was felt even within the curtain, but due to its blockade, there was no way to hear the sounds and movents outside, only knowing that the situation must be dire.
"The pressure of the world on their strength must be significant, but they can still cause such destruction. If the people of Floating City let loose, the city wouldn’t be enough for them to fight in," Tao Yu pondered, sowhat relieved.
However, at that mont, he suddenly felt an unexplained heaviness in his heart, as if covered with dust, and his thoughts seed sowhat sluggish.
Even without a sense of crisis, his complexion suddenly changed,
"Be careful!"
Almost concurrently with Tao Yu’s warning, the earth at a slanted angle burst open, and a figure in reinforced armor instantly erged, the rich aura of evil flaring violently.
It was a Heretic God Follower!
And a very powerful one at that!
Unknown what device had been used, but it had successfully corrupted this strong defensive screen!
"Hmph~"
Sun Shiqing humd softly, and a jade pendant around her neck floated up, her hair dancing about as a golden glow shone in her eyes, with images of light feathers appearing on her back.
But with just a point of her finger, a radiant cross burst forth from within the shadowy figure, seeming to pin him in place.
Swish~
As if nailing him on the spot!
At the sa ti, the seven weapons behind Sun Shiyu were rging into one blade, dark like dripping ink.
Just one glance at that dark blade was enough to cause eyes to sting.
She seed unable to purely drive this blade that appeared to devour everything with Telekinesis.
Carrying this ominous weapon, she instantly slashed towards her opponent.
But at that mont, the cross that held him shattered.
The mysterious figure raised a hand covered in black, viscous mist, blocking the path of the dark blade.
Clang~
The sound of tal clashing erupted, and a fierce gale swept across the entire black curtain, sending many people who had co out of the vehicle flying like straw before Treya used a unique force field to catch them and stabilize the ones blown away.
Otherwise, given their strength, they would have probably t their end right then and there.
However, Tao Yu saw that the black blade had only penetrated halfway through the adversary’s wrist and hadn’t managed to completely sever it!
This isn’t good!
Indeed, in the next mont, as the figure flicked its hand, the wrist that was already partly severed completely broke off.
And even though a protective barrier appeared in front of Sun Shiyu, she was still sent flying out in an instant.
Damn!
The scene of Sun Shiyu being blown away slowed abruptly; seizing the opportunity, Tao Yu, who had already drawn his Black Iron Heavy Sword and completed his Demonization, charged full force at the opponent during the frozen mont.
With the help of Wind Control, the Phantom Demon Technique seed to swiftly bridge the gap with just a light tap of the feet.
Yet in this slowed ti, Tao Yu saw the shadowy figure turn its head towards him at a speed not much slower than his own.
The twisted, insane expression on the face seed sowhat surprised, as if it hadn’t expected there to be another like him.
But the arrow had already been released; covered in Demonization, Tao Yu’s eyes blazed with intense light.
The Sword of the Spirit, unbound by physical limitations, began its full-force assault!
Although Tao Yu felt the lines of weakness on the opponent’s body and the Sword of the Spirit possessed unrestricted extre speed,
the feedback he received felt like hacking into cowhide, causing rough resistance and a significant ntal backlash.
Had it not been for his own "ntal Immunity" that allowed him to ignore it, the injury to himself would have been even greater!
However, this all-out strike had its effect, and cracks spread across the enemy’s eyeballs as if glass were shattering.
Blood marks also appeared on the face, and the shock of draining spiritual defenses caused it to grunt.
It could only raise its unsevered hand in ti to block Tao Yu’s sword tip.
Clang~
The back of the sword t the other blade, and the monstrous power caused the Monster Armor on Tao Yu’s sword hand to burst and shatter, revealing the bloody arm underneath, with damage spreading up along the arm.
The Phase Shift shadows kept crumbling, and as Tao Yu’s shadow fell on the ground, it bore the brunt of the force, turning to powder!
Had he not reinforced his body with many passive enhancents, completing the second Deification to form "Strengthened Body," just the counter-shock of this defense might have shattered his bones and tendons!
Even so, Tao Yu was still sent hurtling backwards!
As his shadow flew along the ground, it left a scar, seemingly venting the excess force along the way.
But the corner of Tao Yu’s bloodied mouth curled up with a hint of coldness.
The Yin-Yang Five Elents Divine Thunder had already gathered at the tip of the sword, flashing a brilliant aurora that was fleeting!
Whoosh~
"Ah!"
The severe scream, like a battle cry, made Tao Yu’s expression change with just the shockwave of the sound.
But he didn’t have ti for any other reaction as his demon-transford back, from being blown away, slamd hard against the thickly-armored vehicle.
The armored vehicle transford in an instant, as if Tao Yu was embedded in it.
It was the final Phase Shift, channeling the excess energy directly into the armored vehicle.
"Pfft, damn, that didn’t kill him?"
This was the first ti Tao Yu’s Yin-Yang Five Elents Divine Thunder truly failed to succeed in an attack.
Staring at the enemy’s half-exposed skeletal body, which seed as if all flesh had been scraped off, Tao Yu also felt a tightening in his chest.
Then, he gritted his teeth, preparing to desperately expend his Yuan Force.
But in the next mont, a horrifying and invisible force appeared, instantly crushing the shadowy figure!
The enemy, who had endured consecutive full-powered strikes from Sun Shiqing, Sun Shiyu, and Tao Yu, and still stood firm, now seed as fragile as a brittle stick before this power!
"Impressive, your performance was beyond my expectations..."
The driver of the armored vehicle opened the door and stepped down, comnting with a hint of admiration.
Then he took off his helt to reveal a face that sowhat resembled the young rich woman’s, yet was much more masculine.
"Cough cough~, Dad? How did you get here? And you let him hit us?"
Sun Shiyu, having been knocked away but protected by a shield barrier, didn’t seem too worse for wear. After seeing who had arrived, she complained, then approached Tao Yu’s side and took out a red potion to force into his mouth.
Glug glug glug~ After it entered his mouth, Tao Yu felt a surging life force blossoming within him, as if he could be revived from near death by this substance alone.
This made his eyes widen in shock.
Damn!
Just give the potion, I’ll be fine with so nutrient paste, what a waste!
"I thought this guy was pretty average, just wanted to test your ergency response capabilities. Sotis re strength isn’t enough; you did okay. However, this lad caught by surprise."
Sun Guanghui, holding his helt in one hand, looked at Tao Yu being fed the potion by his daughter and a glint flashed through his eyes.
"Tao Yu, right?"
A voice reached Tao Yu’s ears, but he suddenly realized it wasn’t actually a voice, but a form of telepathy, and it seed that no one else around had heard it.
Tao Yu could only nod in response.
"What do you think of my daughter? Pretty, isn’t she?"
Huh?
"Don’t use any, uh, thods usually, it’s quite difficult for those with higher talents to get pregnant, quite a hassle indeed."
Huh?
Then he ca over and patted Tao Yu on the shoulder, no longer using telepathy but speaking out loud,
"You’re a good lad, I have high hopes for you."
This left Tao Yu staring at the handso middle-aged man in silence.
What lecherous words, fitting for a succubus’ dad?
But wait, Sun Shiqing didn’t seem like a succubus at all before, more like an angel?
What exactly are you made of...
