Chapter 1027: Light Piercing the Sky

Light Piercing the Sky

That day, the light of Torchlights illuminated the Wuji night.

Angry footsteps kicked up dust and smoke, like a rolling torrent of fate pouring out from the factories. Figure after figure rushed past Wu Duo. They held Torchlights high, their voices like booming thunder, charging toward the Silver Government without looking back!

Having narrowly escaped death, Wu Duo staggered forward step by step. She blankly watched the scene before her, as if she were in a dream.

Finally,

As if she had exhausted all the strength in her body, her legs gave way, and she knelt amidst the surging shouts and Torchlights.

The burning Torchlights illuminated the streets, and starlike embers fluttered in the air. Countless powerful legs sprinted past her, and the panicked exclamations of the Fire-Stealers rang out from the surroundings:

"Have these citizens gone crazy?!!"

"How could they be here? What were those Fire-Stealers supervising the Factory Districts doing?!"

"With hundreds of thousands of people rioting, how can that group of low-rank Fire-Stealers stop them? With so many people, even grinding can grind them to death..."

"They're courting death!!"

The riot of hundreds of thousands of people completely panicked the Fire-Stealers. Even Huang He and Lan Yu's expressions were somewhat ugly... They never expected that this group of citizens would actually use this method to court death.

But to say they were afraid of these citizens was impossible. Although they could kill those low-rank Fire-Stealers who were supervising them, in front of the current Silver Government, let alone hundreds of thousands of people, even if millions or tens of millions of Ordinary Persons came, it would be impossible to overturn their rule...

Even without deploying any high-tier Combat Power, just relying on the Lord of Wuji's Silver Phantoms would be enough to slaughter this rioting group of residents completely. Let alone the Judgment Proxies, the Lord of Wuji, and even the Silver King.

Those Silver Phantoms towering on the streets turned their heads at the same time to look at the street where the citizens were swarming in from. The next moment, they instinctively flew out, charging into the surging crowd of Torchlights!

Silver blades dragged out afterimages amidst the light and shadow of the Torchlights, slashing the flames at the very front into darkness. With casual gestures, more than ten people were hacked into mincemeat. Blood and severed limbs splattered across the streets, and crimson began to smear across the various areas of the Wuji Domain...

"Stop!! You can't kill too many!" Rushing out of the Church, Huang He immediately shouted loudly, "Try to leave them alive! We still need a labor force!!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the movements of the many Silver Phantoms became sluggish, slowing down the rhythm of their slaughter. This gave more citizens an opportunity. Glaring with bloodshot eyes, they roared and charged at those towering Silver Phantoms, using their bodies to carve open a path of blood.

The ribbons of Torchlights flowing everywhere on the streets seemed to be tearing against some kind of ultimate darkness. Blood intermixed between darkness and light, shocking to the eyes.

No one knew how many people would die this night,

The vast majority of them hadn't thought about surviving either...

They just didn't want to live like dogs, and didn't want to end their lives in silence and illness. This was the limit of what the most ordinary and powerless Ordinary Persons could do. To die under the light of the Torchlights, rather than in the suffocating darkness.

Smack——!

A young worker covered in blood pulled out the remaining Playing Cards he hadn't finished scattering last time from his pocket. Like using some kind of magic weapon to ward off evil spirits, he forcefully slammed them onto the face of a Fire-Stealer.

"Fuck you Fire-Stealers!!"

Holding a Torchlight in one hand and a steel pipe in the other, he smashed it toward the other party's face.

Under the attack of the sea of people, the Fire-Stealer, who was beaten black and blue, cursed angrily. Just as he was about to deliver a killing blow, a terrifying Oppressive Aura suddenly descended from the nothingness!

Thump——!!!

The 8th-Rank Path of Force Oppressive Aura was like a mountain descending from the sky, instantly pressing onto everyone's hearts!

Even the Fire-Stealers who possessed Divine Pathways had their hearts tremble at this moment, nearly falling to the ground... And those Ordinary Persons without any power instantly turned pale. The Torchlights and weapons in their hands clattered to the ground, and their entire bodies were forcefully pressed to the ground in a sorry state.

The originally extremely chaotic battlefield instantly fell dead silent. All weapons were forcibly suppressed at this moment. Countless terrified eyes in the darkness looked up, seeing clearly the source of that terrifying Oppressive Aura...

That was a burly [Butcher] holding a Butcher Knife.

It wasn't just [Butcher]. The other three Judgment Proxies had also arrived at different locations around the Church, suppressing the riots in their respective areas at the very frontlines... Seeing this scene while dripping with sweat, Huang He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a citizen riot where they couldn't actually kill too many people, intimidating them with pure Oppressive Aura was the most optimal solution right now.

"Damn it... damn it..."

In the dripping pools of blood, countless citizens gritted their teeth and looked at the four figures shrouded in darkness, a deep sense of despair surging into their hearts...

Under absolute hegemony of strength, the desperate resistance of ants only appeared absurd and laughable.

"The farce is over."

Walking out from the Church, Huang He looked at the darkness in the four directions shrouding the earth once again and spoke slowly.

The citizen riot was indeed outside his expectations, but fortunately, the situation had been stabilized. As for how to deal with these citizens afterward... he already had an idea.

Just as Huang He was preparing to turn around and leave,

An abrupt white light flashed from the end of the long night in the east.

Like a divine sun bird flying across the earth of the Gray World, carrying a scorching aura capable of burning everything, it tore through the black firmament and instantly blasted apart the eastern city gate of the Wuji Domain!!!

Its aura was too terrifying. The dozen-meter-thick heavy city wall was instantly melted. Breaking the sound barrier seemed to tear through space. The moment it appeared, all the dust and rubble within several kilometers of its path were swept up. Drawn in along with it were the gazes of everyone in the Wuji Domain.

The white meteor streaked across the sky;

Boom——!!!

In the nick of time, [Butcher]'s pupils contracted abruptly. Without hesitation, he raised the Butcher Knife and horizontally blocked that white meteor.

The moment the two collided, his boulder-like figure was forcefully knocked flying. After continuously crashing through over a dozen houses, he barely managed to stabilize his figure... Dust wildly swept up, and the Butcher Knife buzzed.

A Long Spear that seemed to have been thrown from a theater stage was only a hair's breadth away from piercing into his body. Faint Opera Vocals echoed in the air, and a faint Killing Intent lingered around the beam like a lingering echo, haunting everyone's hearts...

What a fast spear!!

While his mind was fiercely shaken, [Butcher] slowly looked up. On the path where the Long Spear had roared over, not a single building remained standing intact... A terrifying void pierced through the Wuji Domain, extending into the Gray World.

This spear came from outside the Wuji Domain.

The hurricane from the Long Spear piercing the air dissipated, and a Playing Card slowly fluttered down beneath the night sky...

It was a black Playing Card. At the center of the Card Face was not any currently known pattern, but a half-concealed Opera Mask. As if possessing some sort of consciousness, the eyeballs on the Opera Mask silently locked onto [Butcher].

——[Spade King].

The Playing Card spun silently in the air. In an instant, a man in white painted with the same Opera Mask replaced the Playing Card's original position, standing silently atop the ruins...

"Where is... my Little Junior Brother?"
