Chapter 484

Taking advantage of Xuan Yuezi erupting with magic power and making a move to attract the evil creatures in the darkness, Li Yi's side was instead ignored by no one. He performed the Cloud-Stepping Technique, wrapped everyone to escape from this dark land at the fastest speed, and at the same time was also quickly looking for a foothold, although lights had already appeared in the nearby buildings.

However, those lights were very dim, clearly also eroded by the darkness. Li Yi did not want to stay at the edge of the dark area and wanted to fly to a safer place in one breath.

But things went contrary to his wishes.

Soon.

He saw dense black hair hanging down from the dark sky nearby. These hairs were interwoven with each other, forming large nets, drifting in the middle of the buildings, as if wanting to capture everyone in this area, preventing anyone from escaping.

"Can't leave; hide in the building." Seeing this scene, Li Yi had no choice. He looked back at the rear.

Xuan Yuezi's figure had completely disappeared.

She rode the clouds and mist at an astonishing speed, able to fly hundreds of miles in an instant. Now, she had probably escaped from this area, but he did not know if she could shake off the entanglement of those evil creatures in the end.

But at least, she was unharmed for now.

Li Yi could not care about that much at this moment and headed straight for the nearest building. This building also had lights on, and it was not dim, and it was some distance from that dark area. Even if the darkness continued to erode and spread, they could react before it arrived here.

He found the passage leading into the building, but he discovered that a large gate had been built in the middle of the passage. That gate was pieced together from various metals, and various mysterious patterns were carved on it, as if blessed by magic power.

Clearly, the people inside the building had to build a defense line in order to resist the monsters in the darkness.

Li Yi stopped his pace in front of the gate, simultaneously removed the auspicious clouds, and then hid his magic power to avoid being targeted by the evil creatures in the sky.

"Trouble opening the gate; we are adventurers who escaped from the dark area and hope to enter this building to rest." As soon as Hai Li landed, he immediately came to the gate and knocked on it with his thick arm, making a dull sound.

The guard behind the gate was startled, subsequently looked at the few people through a crack in the middle of the gate, and then said: "You go to another building; outsiders are not welcome here."

"There are monsters in the darkness targeting us. Only by entering the building and using the building's protection can we be safe; otherwise, the monsters will track our aura and find this place. If you don't open the gate, the monsters are very likely to target this building, and then you will also face danger." Hai Li said very seriously: "And there is no time left; I hope you can be understanding."

They all had the Evil God's curse on their bodies and could not stay outside the building for long.

Otherwise, the darkness would spread here.

Having spent such a great price to escape, how could they be willing to be blocked outside the building?

But Hai Li saying this not only failed to attract the other party's attention but instead made the other party even more vigilant.

"Since that's the case, then we cannot let you enter this building even more. You hurry and leave here; otherwise, we will make a move on you." The guard said, and at the same time, the sound of an alarm bell came.

Clearly, this guard had sounded the alarm.

And as soon as the alarm sounded, not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps rang out from behind the gate.

The adventurers inside this building gathered quickly and immediately prepared for battle.

"Outsiders, get out of our building; if you don't leave, we will open fire." Another voice rang out, but the shooting port on the gate was opened, and pitch-black gun barrels extended from inside.

Magic runes were carved on these gun barrels; they were not ordinary firearms, and they looked very powerful.

"We are here to seek the building's protection, not your enemies." That woman named Mei Ling said hurriedly.

That voice continued to warn: "We don't care what your purpose is; this building does not welcome outsiders. You hurry and get out; this is the final warning. If I count to three and you don't leave, we will open fire."

"One."

The people in this building could not communicate at all, were unwilling to open the gate to let them in, and were even hostile toward them, wanting to open fire at every turn.

"It seems your method of persuasion is useless; you should change to another way." Li Yi said at this moment.

Yu Chuan on the side said: "Darkness spreads, and everyone is in danger. Many monsters will disguise themselves as adventurers to enter the building to sabotage and assassinate. It is normal for them to be wary of us. If it were me, I would also close the gate tightly to block all outsiders. Although doing this cannot change the situation, at least it can ensure the safety of this building."

"The logic is like that, but I didn't come to reason with them. If reasoning worked, this world wouldn't need things like force." Li Yi said.

"Two!"

The person inside the gate was still counting, and at the same time, those magic firearms all lit up.

However, the next moment.

Li Yi took the lead and made a move. He punched out, silver *Gang Qi* erupted, lightning interwoven in the surroundings, and an unimaginable power was vented in an instant. This strike was enough to shake the building and pierce through the flesh-and-blood wall; it was simply not something that this temporarily pieced-together iron gate could withstand.

In just an instant, the gate shattered with a bang.

Under the agitation of the aftermath, the group of people behind the gate flew backward together. The unlucky ones were affected by the *Gang Qi*, shaken until they were covered in blood and almost died. Those magic firearms didn't even have time to fire before they cracked.

"Enter." Li Yi said expressionlessly.

The group ignored the people who had fallen to the ground and forcibly broke into this building. If they didn't enter now, if danger really came, the price they had paid before would become a joke.

The others were not polite either; they entered first and talked later.

At this time, reasoning was just having a problem with one's brain.

Ignoring the others who were injured and fallen, they forcibly entered this building.

In the middle of the building was a huge corpse. This was a Holy Corpse, different from the previous corpse. This Holy Corpse was tall and fierce, its muscles bulging, one hand supporting its head, eyes closed, sitting cross-legged there motionless, like a statue. And this Holy Corpse was well-preserved. Although its skin was pale and bloodless, there were very few rotting parts on its body.

Clearly, the adventurers in this building managed this Holy Corpse very well and did not let this Holy Corpse suffer too much damage.

"Temporarily safe." Yu Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He looked at the Evil God's curse on the back of his hand.

After approaching the Holy Corpse, the curse brand on the back of his hand faded a lot. With the protection of this Holy Corpse, their curse was weakened to a certain extent. However, that was all; the curse still existed and could not be worn away. It seemed they still had to eliminate the Evil God or find the legendary Golden Apple.

However, the arrival of Li Yi and the others completely angered the people inside this building.

They not only forcibly broke in but also injured many adventurers. For the people inside the building, Li Yi and these people were invading enemies. Any building guest with a bit of spirit would not allow such a thing to happen.

"You bastards, what kind of trouble are you making here? Get out."

【i-52】 (Note: This line is a garbled tag/placeholder, skipping as per instructions)

The next moment, a loud shout echoed in the building. Subsequently, a figure jumped down from a certain floor of the building. He held a emerald green broadsword, and ancient runes were carved on the blade, which seemed to be an extraordinary weapon. At this moment, he fell and, without a word, slashed directly at Li Yi.

Li Yi raised his head slightly, his silver pupils locking onto this figure.

Although his strength was not bad, wanting to slash himself with just this was somewhat wishful thinking.

Just taking a step back, he avoided this slash, subsequently reached out and grabbed the other party's wrist, stopping the other party's subsequent attack.

"I just brought a few people here to take refuge. Regardless of whether you welcome it or not, I have already entered the building. If you stop now, we can avoid contradictions and conflicts, but if you want to make a move forcibly, I don't mind killing all of you adventurers and forcibly seizing this building."

Li Yi looked at this man and said.

"Let go."

This man who made a move was named Lin Ya, and he was considered a relatively powerful adventurer in this building. At this moment, he suddenly shouted, his whole body filled with a white aura, and his strength also increased sharply in an instant, as if the air had been squeezed out by this momentum.

The surrounding ground cracked together, and a huge sense of vibration spread from under his feet, as if wanting to trigger an earthquake.

"This guy's strength has exceeded that of an Evolver at the Soul Realm." Yu Chuan and Ning Wu on the side changed their expressions slightly.

Sure enough, the closer to the dark area, the more extraordinary the adventurers were.

After all, they were people who could survive in this world full of crises.

"Do you think I will let go just because you say so?"

Li Yi's eyes narrowed, and his strength also erupted. Under the blessing of the Divine Bloodline and the simultaneous ringing of the twelve major meridians, the silver Qi and blood aura rushed into the sky like a wolf smoke. The momentum directly suppressed this person in front of him. Under the venting of power, fist intent surged, directly making this person unable to move. No matter how his power erupted, he could never shake it in the slightest.

"You..." This adventurer named Lin Ya's face changed suddenly. In a trance, he seemed to see a Vajra Buddha glaring at him.

Its power was immeasurable, and its strength was infinite.

Suppressed by the fist intent, he even loosened the battle sword in his hand involuntarily.

Fortunately, he struggled and woke up in time.

"If you continue to make a move, you will lose your life." Li Yi's tone was calm, his silver pupils had turned into vertical pupils, and at this moment, he regarded the person in front of him as prey, ready to capture his life at any time.

The killing intent was released without any concealment.

"Who are you? There are no adventurers as powerful as you here." Lin Ya asked with a solemn tone.

"That's not important. What's important is the attitude of you people—continue to make a move, or should we all sit down and have a good talk?" Li Yi said.

Hearing this, Lin Ya's momentum gradually converged.

He knew that the person in front of him was very powerful. If they really fought, I'm afraid this place would become a river of blood, and many people would die because of it.

And once the losses were heavy, they would have no power to resist the evil entities in the darkness.

"Everyone calm down; they are not enemies." Lin Ya shouted suddenly, his voice echoing in the building again.

As soon as he said this, the tense atmosphere eased quite a bit.
