Chapter 924: Awakening Fang Yue (1/2, Requesting Moon Tickets)

Wu Feifei looked puzzled.

She hadn't seen Night Rain in a long time.

Because Night Rain, as a special meteorological phenomenon, is rare, and when it does appear, the 【Red Branch】 usually issues advance warnings.

Special meteorological phenomena like this are generally predicted by the 【Red Branch】, in conjunction with special anomalous creatures.

After all, this is Jingcheng—the early warning systems for various crises are still quite comprehensive.

But before this mission, she received no notification from the 【Red Branch】, which means… this Night Rain is something even the 【Red Branch】 didn't foresee!

"Did this guy… cause this?"

Wu Feifei stared grimly at Fang Yue in the air.

That man who came back from death still showed no signs of "awakening."

But thick black qi, as if possessing its own consciousness, writhed like a furious dragon around Fang Yue, deterring anyone from moving rashly.

An anomalous creature capable of summoning Night Rain at will is a disaster-level entity under any circumstances!

The last special anomalous creature tied to Night Rain, personally led by the Emperor to be exterminated, was the tribe-type anomalous creature known as the Wu Rain Clan!

Could this Moon Lord anomalous creature be connected to the Wu Rain Clan?

As Wu Feifei was still pondering, thunder suddenly boomed again above her head.

Boom!!

The instant the thunder faded, the rain… intensified drastically!

Drip drip!

Drip drip drip drip!

What had been a light, continuous drizzle of Night Rain transformed within an instant into a violent storm!

The intensification of Night Rain triggered panic among the Death Row Squad.

Even a Xiantian Realm cultivator could barely endure the previous level of light, continuous drizzle.

But at this level of violent storm-grade Night Rain, even those of us, the Rank-level cultivators, and even Cloud-level cultivators, must retreat.

"I-it's Night Rain!"

"Disaster! Major disaster! It's Night Rain!"

"Danger! Danger! Danger! Extreme danger!"

The closer one gets to the Rain-level threshold, the more one understands just how terrifying Night Rain truly is.

If a Rain-level cultivator is likened to a god, then Night Rain is the line that separates mortals from gods.

Whoever crosses it—executed on the spot!

Anyone lacking that power who lingers even a moment longer in Night Rain risks death.

At this moment, if any players were present, they would see numbers "-1" "-1" "-1" flashing furiously above everyone's heads.

Qi and Blood was plummeting at a visibly rapid rate.

They all turned to Wu Feifei, their hearts already filled with the urge to retreat.

But Wu Feifei did not retreat; her gaze remained locked on Fang Yue in the air, and in a low voice, she spoke slowly.

"No one retreats—kill him first!"

Wu Feifei understood.

The dark cloud above was caused by Fang Yue; this Night Rain was surely one of his abilities.

If this anomalous creature is left unchecked, the consequences would be beyond what she could bear.

Ordinary anomalous creatures need some action to kill; but this anomalous creature, wielding Night Rain, leaves nothing but corpses in its wake.

"Heh!"

【Sin-Cleansing Twin Scythes】 sneered, dual-wielding massive scythes as violent Night Rain pounded his body, soaking his clothes and causing "-1" "-1" blood loss numbers to erupt across his entire form.

Yet he grew even more excited.

"Let me… kill it again!"

"Hmph!"

In response, 【Falling Sky】 let out a cold snort.

Almost as the sound left his lips, 【Falling Sky】 lunged forward, leaping into the air and slashing his sword toward Fang Yue above.

"You bastard!"

【Sin-Cleansing Twin Scythes】's face changed, but it was too late—【Falling Sky】 was already about to strike.

Boom!!

At that moment, thunder cracked through the dark clouds above, illuminating the ground below.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, 【Falling Sky】's entire body erupted with "-1" "-1" numbers, nearly drowning him in the flashing blood-loss prompts, reaching a terrifying loss rate of nearly 100 HP per second.

At this rate, even a Cloud-level cultivator like 【Falling Sky】 could last at most one minute.

Yet under this insane Qi and Blood depletion, he remained expressionless, steadfastly delivering his full-power strike!

Zzzzz!!

A fierce sword hum erupted from his blade. The violent sword intent, sensing the surge of his internal force, surged forth along the blade's length.

"Rising Sword: Shatter!"

Dong dong dong dong!!

The ultimate sword technique caused the sword intent to skyrocket; the blade vibrated violently, and dozens of cracks appeared across its surface.

The once-pristine longsword now resembled broken scrap metal, utterly ruined, as if on the verge of shattering.

Yet some unseen force wrapped around the blade, forcing it to complete its final mission—allowing this strike to be fully unleashed!

The peerless sword technique beneath the dark clouds and Night Rain, the full-power slash amid thunder and lightning, and the black qi anomalous creature floating in midair!

All of this, in this instant, seemed to become a painting — a painting of absolute beauty, a painting of slaying the strange.

On the blood-colored earth, amid the ruins strewn with corpses, everyone was looking up.

Each person's expression was different, but every gaze was locked dead onto 【Falling Heaven】.

No one doubted the power of 【Falling Heaven】's sword.

No one thought Fang Yue could still come back to life.

"Die!" A sharp glint flashed through Wu Feifei's eyes.

"What a pity!" A flash of regret crossed 【Sin-Purity Twin Scythes】.

And just at this moment—

【Sin-Purity Twin Scythes】 discovered… the man floating in midair, the man who had died and returned to life, the man who had drawn Night Rain to fall, the man wrapped in the black-giant dragon — had slowly opened his eyes!

He, had awakened!

Almost at the very instant that man awoke.

Boom!!

High in the sky, within the dark clouds, it was as if something had suddenly sensed it.

A bolt of black lightning, far thicker than before, came crashing straight down from the heavens!

The speed of the lightning was extreme, so fast that one could barely react in time.

And the target of that lightning strike was, unmistakably, Fang Yue, who had just awoken below!

The black lightning plummeting down struck toward Fang Yue at a speed even faster than the 【Falling Heaven】 sword technique!

"That freak is really unlucky — running into Night Rain's black lightning right on cue! This time he's absolutely dead for sure."

Almost at the moment this thought flashed through 【Sin-Purity Twin Scythes】's mind.

He suddenly saw that the man in midair, after a brief instant of blankness, immediately came to and muttered something under his breath.

The next instant, a bizarre scene unfolded!

【Sin-Purity Twin Scythes】 widened his eyes in disbelief.

But the motion of his eyes widening was so slow, like a slow-motion replay, so slow it struck him as inconceivable.
