Chapter 1762: Killing Through Xuanwu
"Boss Chen..."
Li Shangfeng looked at the massive scarlet shadow shaking the entire Xuanwu Great Avenue ahead. Apart from shock, a sense of unprecedented confusion also surfaced in his eyes.
The generous and amicable Boss Chen... how could he be a World-Ending Calamity?
And why would a World-Ending Calamity make a special trip to his small Repair Shop, specially taking care of their inconspicuous pair of siblings?
In Li Shangfeng's mind, those invisible phantom figures from when he was at the Power Plant surfaced simultaneously... The numerous mysterious shadows that inexplicably helped him, and the World-Ending Calamity that took care of their sibling duo, Li Shangfeng always felt that these few matters were faintly connected.
At the same time, Chen Ling's words from just now lingered in his mind:
"Who said..."
"He has no backer?"
Li Shangfeng looked at the scarlet monster's back, muttering to himself:
Boom——!!!!
An earth-shattering roar sounded from Xuanwu Great Avenue.
Amidst the flying dust, a massive giant shadow crushed the feasting and revelry of the Xuanwu Casino. Countless scarlet tentacles extended in the air, and the direction they were advancing was precisely the Taishi Division at the end of Xuanwu Great Avenue!
And between these two, the official residences and mansions along the way had completely exploded like a pot.
"Jing Xiu!!"
"My Jing Xiu!!"
A luxuriously dressed woman saw the scarlet tentacles casually slap dozens of dark-clad figures to death, and her face instantly turned pale... She fell backward as if she was about to faint.
Fortunately, several servants hurriedly supported her. The floor beneath their feet was trembling continuously, rustling dust falling from the ceiling. Everyone's face was filled with panic.
"It's all your fault... It's all your fault!! Everything was perfectly fine, you just had to arrange for the child to enter the Xuanwu Imperial Guard!!"
"Now look what happened!! Are you satisfied!!"
The woman cried while rushing in front of a figure wearing official robes, hammering his chest with her hands, opening her mouth almost roaring.
That official's face was also incomparably gloomy at this moment. He originally thought it was a good thing that His Majesty approved sending their child into the Xuanwu Imperial Guard. But who could have thought that a World-Ending Calamity of Mockery would charge out in the Chengtian Domain just as he took office?
"Men! Men!"
"Where is the Duke of the State?! Hurry and invite the Duke of the State to take action!!"
The official watched helplessly as the Calamity of Mockery got closer and closer to their official residence, feeling incomparably anxious in his heart, immediately shouting to his surroundings.
Immediately after, a bitter voice sounded from the side:
"My lord, we have already sent people to ask. The two Dukes of the State both left the Chengtian Domain on official business... Now in the entire domain, apart from that person in the palace, there is no Demigod-level Combat Power capable of stopping the Calamity of Mockery."
"Left on official business?! Why did they have to pick this time!!"
The official cursed angrily. He glanced at the Calamity of Mockery, then at the deathly silent Chengtian Imperial Palace under the night sky, his thoughts spinning rapidly like lightning.
This is a bit... too coincidental!
They had been laying out plans for several months and hadn't been able to send their own children into the Xuanwu Imperial Guard, yet today they were all stuffed in at once... and then the Calamity of Mockery suddenly appeared, and the two Dukes of the State both happened to not be in the Chengtian Domain?
Officials who could climb to this level were no fools. Anyone who used their brains a little could figure out the key points within...
I'm afraid from the very beginning, that Emperor had planned to use the Calamity of Mockery to prune the overly lush branches and leaves growing in the Chengtian Dynasty... But the question was, how did he know the Calamity of Mockery would come tonight??
"My lord! My lord!"
"The Calamity of Mockery... The Calamity of Mockery is getting closer and closer!!"
Bursts of exclamations spread from every corner of the mansion. Those female family members and servants all looked in terror at that continuously approaching scarlet monster. That bizarre pupil like a sun only lightly swept over, and it extracted everyone's courage, their legs going soft and unable to move.
Fine cold sweat broke out on the official's forehead. The situation before his eyes had completely exceeded his range of ability... He took two deep breaths, trying his best to make himself calm down a bit:
"Quick, send out all the Divine Path Wielders in the mansion. No matter what, you must delay the Calamity of Mockery as much as possible..."
"My lord, then what about you?"
"I... am entering the palace to seek an audience with His Majesty!" The official gritted his teeth and opened his mouth. "Right now in the entire Chengtian Domain, he is the only Demigod... Only by begging him to take action can we have a glimmer of survival!!"
...
With the continuous movement of the scarlet monster, half of Xuanwu Great Avenue vanished without a trace. Those originally prosperous and luxurious commercial districts had now turned into paintings branded on the ground. Even if the lights were still flickering, they were completely stripped from the three-dimensional world.
This bizarre and unimaginable scene impacted the nerves of everyone on Xuanwu Great Avenue. They couldn't understand the power of the Calamity of Mockery, and precisely because of this, they were even more panicked...
More and more figures flew over from the major official residences, as if weaving an inescapable net covering the heavens and earth, charging toward the Calamity of Mockery without fear of death.
These noble families entrenched on Xuanwu Great Avenue, controlling parts of the Chengtian Dynasty's lifelines, were pouring out all their family's foundation at this moment, only seeking to pin down the Calamity of Mockery for a moment longer to buy themselves a glimmer of survival.
8th-rank, 8th-rank, 7th-rank, 7th-rank, 7th-rank, 7th-rank...
Divine Pathways flickered one after another under the night. The mighty Oppressive Auras linked with each other, like a thick and heavy mountain peak, crashing toward the Calamity of Mockery!
But the Calamity of Mockery didn't seem to care about their existence, still moving forward along Xuanwu Great Avenue. Just as this mountain peak was about to crash down, the earth around him suddenly burst open, and poisonous insects constructed from earth and building debris shot into the sky!
Centipede, toad, poisonous snake, scorpion, gecko!
Dong——!!
With merely a thought from Chen Ling, the Ghost Mockery Abyss from the previous world reappeared on the earth of this Chengtian Domain. The Five Great Poison Chiefs reshaped by [Abyssal Ghost Ferry] forcefully smashed apart the combined strike of the Divine Path Wielders. Under the massive backlash force, the many Divine Path Wielders stumbled backward simultaneously, fresh blood flowing silently down the corners of their mouths...
In the next second, a red thread wandering between dimensions was like a blade lightly slicing through nothingness. By the time the many Divine Path Wielders came back to their senses, that red thread had already sliced silently through their bodies.
"This is..."
One of the Divine Path Wielders looked at his own body in astonishment, then only felt the sky and earth spinning. A head fell smoothly from his neck, dropping onto Xuanwu Great Avenue.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth...
Blood color burst open in the sky. The many Divine Pathways that had just been activated began to disappear in large swaths again. This overwhelming giant net lasted for less than five seconds in front of the Calamity of Mockery before being shattered to pieces.
Heads fell like raindrops, dropping into those official residences and merchant guild mansions. After a brief sluggishness, bursts of terrified screams echoed through the sky!
The high-rank Divine Path Wielders who were once unattainable in the eyes of the masses, the important officials of the Chengtian Domain, were now like weeds casually cut down, swaying silently in the wind.
