Volume 6, Chapter 32 – Unfavorable Situation, Seven Black Shadows Suddenly Appear

“Two beasts from the Terrabond Lineage, still trying to hide?”

As Xi Xuan’s voice fell, his fist glowing with silver spiritual power hammered toward Serveiling like a heavy mallet. The fist wind carried violent air currents, instantly cracking the concrete floor of the corridor in spider web patterns that continued to crumble, dust whirling through the air. Serveiling’s pupils contracted sharply as her body transformed into black lightning, rapidly retreating. Her coat tails were caught by the fist wind, instantly tearing several gashes.

Seeing his first punch miss, Xi Xuan threw another punch at Serveiling.

Watching this scene, Serveiling’s eyes narrowed, a trace of viciousness surging in her crimson pupils.

“Dog Bro, attack!”

At this point, Serveiling had no other choice.

As a vassal of the Terrabond Lineage, Serveiling couldn’t allow failure.

She didn’t want to disappoint Big Sister.

Though she didn’t understand why Xi Xuan had suddenly appeared, since he wanted to interfere, they could only engage in battle.

Disable Xi Xuan’s combat ability, then bind all the human leadership with contracts!

——”Block him, I’ll find a chance to destroy his meridians!”——

“Got it.”

Zhouyu was already prepared. His white long hair exploded in the surge of spiritual power. The moment his katana left its sheath, white curse power emanating a cursed aura wrapped around the blade like a tide. With a “swoosh,” the blade light split the air, precisely blocking Xi Xuan’s fist.

“CLANG—!”

The tremendous sound of metal colliding with spiritual power shattered the corridor with a thunderous crash. Zhouyu’s arm went numb from the impact, and he was sent flying a hundred meters by Xi Xuan’s punch. Gritting his teeth, he growled:

Reаԁ оn ΚatReaԁіngСafе

“Worthy of a First Celestial Augur Knight… what tremendous strength?!”

After that sigh, Zhouyu bared his fangs as curse power erupted overwhelmingly. Surrounded by white light, he rushed his way back to Xi Xuan’s front.

“Old man… we have no hostile intentions. It would be best if you could stop.”

“No hostile intentions?”

Xi Xuan sneered coldly, his left fist suddenly changing direction, avoiding the blade to strike directly at Zhouyu’s chest.

“Aren’t you planning to execute Gaia Lobir’s orders, capture human leadership as puppets, and you dare say you have no hostile intentions? Who would believe that!!!”

“In that case, don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Serveiling said coldly.

As she spoke, Serveiling’s figure appeared ghost-like at Xi Xuan’s rear side, her black lightning speed leaving several afterimages. Her claws wrapped in curse power aimed directly at Xi Xuan’s heart from behind.

“Have a nice sleep!”

As the fastest among the Terrabond vassals, Serveiling’s sneak attacks usually had an extremely high success rate.

However, this time everything didn’t seem so simple.

Facing Serveiling’s rear attack, Xi Xuan acted as if he had eyes in the back of his head. Rather than dodging, he suddenly turned around, his right fist carrying even denser spiritual power as it bombarded toward Serveiling.

“Hmm?!”

Serveiling’s eyes contracted, forced to withdraw and block. With a “bang,” she was knocked flying backward, smashing through walls before crashing heavily against the Presidential Residence’s barrier in the distance, blasting a large hole in the entire barrier.

Rеаԁ oո ΚαtRеadіngСаfе

The cat-eared woman coughed up blood, wiped the corner of her mouth, but her eyes grew colder:

“The Celestial Augur Knight second only to Big Sister… indeed not easy to handle.”

On the other side, Zhouyu took advantage of Xi Xuan’s turn to sweep horizontally with his katana. The blade wind scraped past Xi Xuan’s waist, the expanding blade energy directly cutting a distant wall in half. Not only that, Zhouyu’s figure instantly accelerated, his katana continuously striking out dense blade lights, trying to restrict Xi Xuan’s movements.

Before long, the recovered Serveiling again transformed into black lightning, moving at high speed around Xi Xuan, her claws occasionally striking at his openings. The two worked together—one attacking, one defending, one fast, one strong—with extremely tacit coordination. Zhouyu used his katana for frontal restraint while Serveiling used her speed for side attacks. Curse power and spiritual power continuously interweaved within the Presidential Residence, creating waves of air pressure.

The terrifying aura of conflict directly caused countless guards to vomit blood and kneel, while those with insufficient strength lost consciousness outright.

The combined assault of two vassals naturally erupted with tremendous power.

But Xi Xuan was no ordinary opponent either—his spiritual power and fist techniques were truly fierce. He neither dodged nor avoided, every punch carrying world-destroying momentum. Whether Zhouyu’s blade light or Serveiling’s attacks, all were met head-on or shaken off with his fists. The “clang clang clang” of collisions never ceased, the entire underground level of the Presidential Residence shaking violently, while the surrounding barriers gradually shattered in the conflict.

After wave upon wave of intense clashes, the three figures moved like three streams of light, fighting all the way from the Presidential Residence to Clavino’s central plaza.

“BOOM—!”

Just upon landing, the increasingly frenzied Zhouyu kicked toward the ground. White curse power spread along the ground, instantly shattering the plaza’s bluestone slabs. Debris flew like cannonballs, smashing into surrounding buildings as glass curtain walls shattered with crashes. Pedestrians screamed and scattered in all directions. Hovering cars were overturned by the air waves, causing chain collisions and violent explosions. Flames shot skyward as sirens, cries, and explosions interweaved together, instantly turning all of Clavino into a living hell.

Before Zhouyu could move again, Xi Xuan had already charged forward, left fist striking at Zhouyu, right fist smashing toward Serveiling. The moment both fists struck out, air waves formed by silver spiritual power sent all shop signs and lamp posts within a hundred meters flying, grinding large cracks into the ground.

Zhouyu swung his blade to block, his arm going numb again. Gritting his teeth, he said: “This old guy—was he always this vicious?!”

“Who knows…”

After a cold remark, Serveiling again transformed into black lightning and disappeared from her spot. Immediately after, the black lightning accelerated to its limit, her figure forming a black light circle around Xi Xuan as countless curse power chains wrapped toward Xi Xuan’s legs.

After sending Zhouyu flying with one punch, Xi Xuan suddenly leaped up, avoiding the chains while his right fist smashed toward Serveiling’s afterimage. Seeing this, Serveiling suddenly changed direction, her claws pointing directly at Xi Xuan’s elbow—as long as she could lock his joints, she could limit this guy’s strength.

But just as her claws were about to touch Xi Xuan’s elbow, Xi Xuan’s eyes narrowed and the spiritual power within his body erupted again. The next instant, his left fist suddenly attacked, twice as fast as before.

Serveiling’s pupils contracted sharply. Wanting to dodge but already too late, she could only raise her hands to block.

Unfortunately, specializing in speed, she had no advantage in strength.

“Bang!”

After the tremendous sound, the cat-eared woman was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Zhouyu frowned, about to shout something when Xi Xuan’s fist was already smashing toward his face. He hastily raised his blade to block. With a “clang,” the katana was shaken from his grip as he too was sent flying, crashing heavily into a tall building not far away.

The building instantly collapsed thunderously from the force of impact.

Miserable screams rose and fell continuously.

On the other side, as a Celestial Augur Knight who should protect the people, Xi Xuan unusually paid no attention to the bystanders caught up in the battle, instead keeping his sharp gaze constantly focused on the two vassals, chilling killing intent continuously overflowing from his eyes.

“This old guy… doesn’t he consider the surroundings at all? This kind of fighting style… can he still be called a Celestial Augur Knight?”

Serveiling struggled to get up, wiping the blood from her mouth, her eyes full of confusion.

But things had reached this point—Serveiling had no time to think further.

For the entire Terrabond Lineage’s plan, she had to complete the mission Big Sister and Yelena had given her.

Gritting her teeth, Serveiling condensed curse power, trying to attack again.

However, at that instant, Serveiling seemed to sense something. Her pupils contracted sharply as she looked around the plaza in bewilderment.

“These guys… what’s going on?”

At this moment, seven black figures had somehow appeared on rooftops around the plaza. They wore identical black robes with hoods covering their faces, emanating Peak Divine Departure Realm auras on the same level as Xi Xuan. What made her heart sink even more was her realization that the auras of the Corrupted Beasts previously hidden throughout Clavino had all disappeared.

Did those… guys do it?

Staring intently at those black shadows, Serveiling bit her lip unwillingly.

Xi Xuan returning was one thing, but where had these guys come from?

The human world still had so many Peak Divine Departure Realm experts?

How was that possible…

Also, that guy…

Gazing at the black shadow standing on the clock tower, Serveiling couldn’t help clenching her fists tightly.

Why did the aura… resemble Yelena’s so much??

Sigh…

No choice now.

——”Dog Bro, the situation is lost… we need to retreat.”——
