If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

Above the civilian area.

The dark blue crack in the black door resembled a slowly opening eye.

The black tide recedes.

It was cold, sticky, and carried a chilling whisper.

The lights in the entire block began to flicker.

Pedestrians on the roadside stared blankly up at the sky.

The next second, everyone's face turned deathly pale.

"What is that?"

"How did the sky split open?"

"Run!"

Screams erupted instantly.

In rows of old residential buildings, countless ordinary people rushed out of their homes.

But soon, they found their bodies becoming heavy, and it sounded like countless voices were whispering in their ears.

The sound of crying.

laughter.

A call.

The voices kept drilling into their minds, as if trying to drag them into another darkness.

From the shadows, monstrous, polluted forms began to emerge.

Their shapes were blurry, like monsters pieced together from nightmares and mist.

Military drones arrived immediately.

The source light shone on the crack in the black door.

But the beam of light was swallowed up by the black tide as soon as it got close.

The alarms were blaring frantically on the command channel.

"A real-world black door crack has appeared in the civilian district!"

"The pollution index is rising!"

"The corrupted beast's shadow is beginning to coalesce!"

"Requesting fire support!"

"No! There's a residential area below!"

"Repeat! This is a residential area; large-scale bombing is not possible!"

Military command center.

Su Zhan suddenly stood up.

"Seal off the perimeter of the civilian area!"

"Evacuate ordinary residents!"

"All suppression teams, proceed to the scene immediately!"

"No one is allowed to use heavy firepower to target residential areas without my order!"

Su Qinghan had already rushed to the door.

"Grandpa, I'll go!"

Su Zhan glanced at her and said in a deep voice:

"Bring the Su family guards with you."

"Protect Lin Xiaoya first."

Su Qinghan's pupils contracted.

She got it.

This crack in the black door did not appear randomly.

It's Chonglin Xiaoya!

"yes!"

Su Qinghan turned and rushed out of the command room.

the other side.

Luo Xingshuang had already donned the Star Concealment Cloak and rushed directly towards the civilian area.

Her face was extremely cold.

Black Gate.

It's the Black Gate again.

Moreover, this time, the Black Gate actually opened directly in the city.

This is a provocation.

It was also a test.

It was even more so to provoke that bloodthirsty senior.

But this happened before the military even reached the core area.

Above the civilian area.

A figure in black robes and a blood-red face stepped out from the void.

boom!

The entire slum seemed to be weighed down by an invisible giant mountain.

The polluted beasts that were crawling out of the shadows all paused.

Then, as if sensing some kind of natural enemy, it instinctively began to retreat.

Inside the residential building.

Lin Xiaoya stood by the window, her face pale.

She couldn't see the face of the figure in black robes.

But she saw the blood-red mask.

I also saw the red lotus fire pattern on the forehead of the mask.

I don't know why.

She suddenly felt at peace.

It's like the red lotus flame in my dream has appeared once again.

He blocked that terrifying black door for her.

"Xiaoya!"

Su Qinghan's voice came from downstairs.

She led the Su family guards into the tenement building.

Lin Xiaoya snapped out of her daze and quickly ran to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Su Qinghan grabbed her wrist.

"Come with me!"

Lin Xiaoya asked subconsciously:

"Where's my brother?"

Su Qinghan paused slightly.

She looked up at the blood-faced figure in the sky above the window.

Then he lowered his voice:

"Your brother is at school."

"Don't ask questions now, let's get out of here first."

Lin Xiaoya bit her lip and didn't ask any more questions.

But she couldn't help but look back at the sky.

That blood-faced figure seemed to shield the entire building from all darkness.

……

Gaowu No.1 Middle School.

Outside the Dragon Gate Trial Tower.

The enormous energy light curtain was divided into two parts.

In one frame.

Lin Yuan is still inside the tower.

In another scene.

Blood-Stained Senior has made a public appearance in the skies above the civilian district.

The time on both sides is completely synchronized.

Everyone on the playground erupted in cheers.

"The Blood-Slaying Senior has appeared!"

"That senior really did step in to protect Lin Xiaoya!"

Zhao Hai looked at the screen and his face turned red with excitement.

"I knew it!"

"I knew Master Yuan would definitely make a move!"

"Anyone who dares to touch Xiaoya will die!"

Not far away.

Luo Xingshuang saw the image through her personal communicator, and her expression became extremely serious.

Blood-stained elder.

It really happened.

Moreover, Lin Yuan is still inside the Dragon Gate Tower.

This time, even the last trace of doubt in her heart completely disappeared.

Blood-senpai is just blood-senpai.

Lin Yuan was a disciple who was protected by his senior.

Gu Changye stood in the control room.

I didn't say anything the first time.

He quietly watched the two synchronized images.

On one side is Lin Yuan.

One side is blood.

The locations are dozens of miles apart.

The timelines completely overlap.

There was no monitoring interruption.

There is no misalignment in the image.

There is no time difference.

The most reasonable explanation has finally become the answer that everyone has always believed.

Senior Blood is Lin Yuan's master.

Lin Yuan himself was still only at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

The adjutant whispered:

"grown ups……"

"Now it seems that Lin Yuan and Senior Bloodthirsty are indeed not the same person."

Gu Changye did not answer.

He looked at Lin Yuan's calm face.

Then he looked at the black-robed, blood-faced figure in the sky above the civilian area.

After a moment, he said softly:

"The evidence supports this."

The adjutant was taken aback.

"In terms of evidence?"

Gu Changye's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"The more perfect the evidence."

"The more you look at it, the more worthwhile it is to take a second look."

But this time, his voice no longer carried the same certainty as before.

Because even he has to admit it.

This evidence is irrefutable.

……

Above the civilian area.

The crack in the black gate seemed to be enraged by the appearance of the Blood-Stained Senior.

The dark blue light suddenly surged.

The black tide surged down from the cracks, transforming into twisted, polluted streaks that rushed towards the tenement building.

Blood Shadow slowly raised his hand.

It is not Lin Yuan's true form.

The Great Brahma Body of Annihilation cannot be activated.

It also cannot truly demonstrate the invincible oppression of the three stages.

However, it carries part of Lin Yuan's physical body mass, part of his qi and blood pressure, and a weakened version of his combat skills.

That's enough to deal with this crack in the black gate of reality.

boom!

A dark golden aura spread from the Blood Shadow's body.

Behind it, six blurry, dark gold arms flashed into view.

Incomplete.

It does not solidify.

But it was enough to make everyone who saw this scene tremble with fear.

"Eight arms!"

"It's Senior Blood's eight-armed form!"

"Same as the record in Wilderness Battlefield!"

On the military channel, even the battlefield analysts' voices changed.

Blood Shadow looked up.

A deep voice came from beneath the blood-red mask:

"Go back."

next moment.

It unleashed a powerful punch.

On the fist, the crimson flames and dark gold blood energy collapsed towards a single point.

A weaker version.

The vast wilderness is utterly desolate!

boom--!!!!!!

The punch landed below the crack in the black gate.

A visible collapse surged upwards.

The black tide instantly reversed.

The long, polluted shadows that were rushing toward the residential buildings were forcefully pushed back into the cracks.

The polluted beast shadows on the ground collapsed in large patches.

They did not approach the Blood Shadow.

They didn't even have a chance to scream.

Anyone who enters the area covered by that collapsing fluctuation is immediately compressed into a ghostly blue mist.

The entire city was deathly silent.

Countless residents looked up at the figure in black robes with a blood-red face.

Some people's legs buckled and they knelt down on the ground.

It's not fear.

Rather, it was the exhaustion of surviving a disaster.

"He saved us..."

"Senior Blood..."

"He's here to rescue people!"

When Su Zhan arrived at the outer perimeter, he witnessed the punch that pushed back the Black Tide.

His eyes flickered violently.

Senior Bloodstained is truly protecting the Seventh Safe Zone.

At least.

He was protecting Lin Yuan and his sister.

As long as the Seventh Safe Zone doesn't stand against Lin Yuan and his sister, that senior won't be an enemy.

Su Zhan immediately gave the order:

"No one is allowed to approach Senior Bloodface!"

"Seal off the outer perimeter and evacuate residents!"

"Don't interfere with your senior's action!"

"yes!"

The crack in the black gate trembled violently.

An angry whisper seemed to come from behind the door.

"Those who uphold purity..."

"Belongs to the Black Gate..."

Blood Shadow slowly raised his head.

The voice was even colder.

She doesn't belong to any particular group.

The words fell.

Blood Shadow unleashed his second punch.

boom--!!!!!!

The crack in the black gate collapsed inwards again.

A ghostly blue light flickered wildly.

The sounds from behind the door stopped abruptly.

The black tide that had been rising over the entire civilian district was completely pushed back into the crack.

The cracks began to shrink rapidly.

In the end, only a very thin, dark blue line remained.

Blood Shadow raised his hand.

A flash of crimson fire patterns.

That line was also forcibly erased.

The sky returned to normal.

The sunlight fell again.

Everyone in the civilian district seemed to have woken up from a nightmare.

After a brief silence.

The entire neighborhood erupted in deafening cheers.

"They survived!"

"The black gate has disappeared!"

"Senior Bloodface saved us!"

"Long live the senior!"

Su Qinghan escorted Lin Xiaoya out of the tenement building.

Lin Xiaoya looked up at the sky.

Blood Shadow also glanced down at her.

They are very far apart.

Through the blood-red mask.

Lin Xiaoya inexplicably felt that the gaze was very familiar.

She whispered:

"Thank you, senior."

Blood Shadow did not answer.

He simply stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the entire civilian district.

Finally, its sound echoed throughout the entire neighborhood and reached the surveillance channels of the military and Sky Patrol.

"Who dares to touch her?"

"Whom do I kill?"

boom!

this sentence.

It was even more shocking than that punch from before.

Everyone understood.

Lin Xiaoya is the Achilles' heel of Xue Qian.

No.

Lin Yuan and his sister are both his Achilles' heel.

Who touched it?

Who dies?

On the playground of Gaowu No.1 Middle School.

Countless students subconsciously looked at Lin Yuan inside the Dragon Gate Pagoda.

They used to think Lin Yuan was a good-for-nothing.

They still think Lin Yuan himself might be a good-for-nothing.

But so what?

waste?

That's just trash protected by the humanoid forbidden zone!

Who dares to mess with us?

Han Zhaoye stared at the screen, his face ashen, as if he had swallowed a piece of iron.

He had just mocked Lin Yuan for relying on his master's protection.

But now, the whole city has seen it.

That master has really come.

He really did something for Lin Yuan's sister.

He actually said in public that he would kill anyone who dared to touch her.

This level of protectiveness is no longer what it means to have a powerful backer.

This is taboo.

Lin Yuan stood in the image inside the tower, head down, seemingly unaware of what was happening outside.

But when Gu Changye looked at him, she suddenly felt something.

Perhaps Lin Yuan knew.

Perhaps from the very beginning.

He had been waiting for this moment.

He decided to stay inside the tower.

On the one hand, they made the senior from Blood Face appear in public.

Shatter all doubts in the most direct and irrefutable way.

Gu Changye took a soft breath.

Then he slowly expelled it.

"pretty."

The adjutant was stunned.

"grown ups?"

Gu Changye looked at the two screens and said in a low voice:

"This round."

"He won."

And over the civilian area.

Senior Bloodface took one last look at the spot where the black gate had disappeared.

Then the figure took a step forward.

They disappeared from all surveillance footage.

All that remained was the cheering of the entire civilian district.

And four words deeply engraved in the hearts of all forces.

Humanoid restricted area.
