SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

"Um?"

Su Nianhe's beautiful eyes swept over him, her tone tinged with amusement: "As expected of a seventh-tier Awakened One, you're not quite dead yet?"

She took a light step, her high heels making a crisp sound as they slid through the puddles.

The gray-robed man, who was kneeling on the ground, was completely turned into a bloody mist and exploded.

On the north city wall.

Feng Xi's blood-red whip was chopped in half, and she fell to the ground, spitting out blood, her consciousness beginning to fade.

Seeing this, Ning Mo instantly rushed towards Feng Xi with the gray mist around him, trying to protect her!

The Left Protector's longsword sliced ​​through the gray mist, firmly blocking Ning Mo's path: "You dare to be distracted while fighting this Protector?"

His voice was full of mockery: "Isn't it wonderful to see your comrade about to die in front of you?"

At the same time, a gray-robed man covered in blood circled behind Ning Mo, his long sword flashing with a cold light as he thrust it toward Ning Mo's back!

Elder Ge, accompanied by two seventh-tier awakened individuals, simultaneously slashed at Feng Xi with three curved blades.

Feng Xi closed her eyes, a hint of relief on her lips: Qinghe... I couldn't save you, I'm sorry...

"puff--!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed directly onto Feng Xi's face!

An aged yet sinister voice reached her ears: "Cheer up..."

"How could such a young and beautiful leader die so easily?"

Feng Xi suddenly opened her eyes!

Xie Tu's figure blocked her way, and three long swords pierced through his chest!

Fresh blood gushed from the wound like a spring.

But Xie Tu was still laughing, and that sinister laughter was so warm in Feng Xi's eyes!

"No—!!" Feng Xi's roar shook the rain curtain.

In the southeast corner of the prison, Lin Mu suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with boundless killing intent.

The dozens of fifth-tier awakened individuals around him had been frozen into ice sculptures!

The ice sculpture still bore the mark of terror, but the next second it shattered with a "crack," turning into a shower of ice crystals.

"Xie Tu!" Lu Ping and Zhang Huai's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Their scythes and fists unleashed their strongest power at the same time, carving a bloody path as they charged toward Xie Tu.

Elder Ge sneered, "Overestimating yourself! Kill this woman quickly!"

Three curved blades were thrust at Feng Xi again.

Just at this critical moment, a thick earthen wall suddenly rose from the ground and blocked Feng Xi's way!

Elder Ge's pupils instantly contracted: "An earth-elemental awakener? How come you're not dead?!"

"Sorry I'm late."

Gu Cang appeared behind the earthen wall and caught Xie Tu's swaying body, but Xie Tu was already lifeless.

The Left Protector's voice instantly turned icy: "Elder Ge! These are the only two you mentioned?!"

Suddenly, three figures in gray robes leaped onto the city wall.

The leader said, "Left Protector, we have come on the orders of the Azure King!"

He scanned the battlefield, a hint of relief in his voice, "It seems the intelligence was completely wrong; we arrived just in time."

The simultaneous eruption of these three auras from the initial seventh-tier realm caused Ning Mo's expression to drastically change: Who is the Azure King? Are all these powerful Awakened Ones under his control?!

"It seems I arrived just in time."

A square-faced, burly figure appeared behind them.

He cracked his right hand, his voice brimming with fighting spirit, "This time we can finally face the forces behind the scenes head-on... The more the merrier, none of you will return!"

"Ha, arrogant..." Before the Left Protector's words had even finished, a pillar of fire suddenly shot into the sky from the southeast corner!

The pillar of fire was filled with piercing screams, and even the rainwater was evaporated into white mist.

"What?!" The Left Protector's pupils shrank sharply, his voice filled with extreme shock.

"When has a fire-elemental awakener ever appeared in this world?!" He immediately pointed to a gray-robed man, "To the dark dungeon!"

"You can't go anywhere!" The gray mist surrounding Ning Mo suddenly surged, sweeping towards all the gray-robed men!

He wielded the Wuji Staff and brought it down with a sudden, gray mist.

"Power, five times!" Zhao Shanhe's right fist slammed into one of the gray-robed figures, the force of the punch even shaking the surrounding rain into mist!

"Kill them!" the Left Protector roared, giving the order.

A dense swarm of gray-robed men was pouring into the north city wall from all parts of the prison.

In the underground cell on the southeast corner of the prison, water droplets seeped from the damp stone walls, and the sounds of fighting above could be clearly heard.

"It looks like there's a lot of fighting up there."

A man in a gray robe kicked at the puddles on the ground with his toe, looked at the blue crane nailed to the wall by four black iron chains, and spoke in a mocking tone.

"The glorious Zhen'e Court is coming to a complete end today."

The chains had left red marks on Qinghe's neck, and his eyes were bloodshot: Knowing it was a deadly trap, why did you still come...?

It is my fault that Zhen'e Ting is in trouble. Chief Ting, Qinghe has no face to face you now that he is below.

"Does the master say we should act now?" Another man in gray robes drew a dagger from his waist.

"What's the rush?" The former chuckled. "Let him reunite with his accomplices after all the higher-ups are dead..."

"boom--!"

A loud bang suddenly blasted through the stone door of the dark prison!

Amidst the flying debris, the pupils of the two gray-robed men suddenly contracted.

Qinghe also looked up suddenly: With such a disparity in strength, how could they have managed to get here?

"boom--!"

The second loud bang was even more intense!

A pillar of crimson fire shot in through the gap in the stone door, like a burning dragon, instantly illuminating every corner of the dark prison.

The water droplets on the stone wall sizzled and evaporated as they were heated, and in the firelight, a figure in a black robe slowly emerged.

"Kill him now!"

Two men in grey robes lunged at Qinghe at the same time, their daggers aimed at his heart.

But before they could finish their move, they were engulfed by two flames that suddenly shot up!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream echoed through the dark prison, and flames, as if alive, enveloped their bodies, instantly filling the air with the smell of burning flesh.

In the blink of an eye, the two were reduced to two charred lumps and collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

Qinghe stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, his heart pounding.

A fire-type awakener? Why have I never heard of such a powerful individual in China?

The man in black robes walked towards him step by step. When he got close, he revealed an extremely young face with a chilling killing intent in his eyes.

Lin Mu's gaze fell on the four black iron chains on Qinghe's body, and the killing intent in his eyes instantly swept across the entire dark prison.

Qinghe suddenly tensed up: This killing intent... could there be someone from another force involved?

Ah, how many forces in this world are unknown to us?

Just as he closed his eyes in despair, Lin Mu suddenly raised his hand and ripped the dirty rag out of his mouth.

"Cough cough..." Qinghe coughed violently, and several mouthfuls of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

"Who...are you...why...?"

He spoke weakly, his voice broken and intermittent.

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened suddenly, and his voice cracked with urgency: "Behind you!"

"Thump, thump, thump—"

The steady footsteps came from the depths of the dark prison, breaking the brief silence.
