Chapter 1 Rolling Black Clouds

Rolling black clouds, bizarre objects falling from the sky like shooting stars, as if it were the end of the world.

Niu Niu watched this scene with a mix of fear and trepidation.

The sheer number of Wu Yu race (Black Rain Tribe) oddities falling like a meteor shower surpassed even the scale of the Mo Village incident.

"Something's wrong! Everyone, follow me out and regroup with the others!"

You Xingchen's face darkened, and he took the lead in rushing out.

The others exchanged hesitant glances before following behind.

Niu Niu trembled, hiding among the crowd, and said in a low voice to everyone,

"Guys, this situation is bad. The situation in the capital is even more outrageous than I thought. I thought I could avoid disaster by staying away from the Lie Huo Sect (Raging Fire Sect), but the capital is even more dangerous! I think we should run away quickly!"

Jing Yan, carrying Qing Chen on his back, followed behind the group, shaking his head slightly, "You don't need to worry too much. This is still the capital city. If even the capital can't cope with this crisis, then nowhere in Qing Country will be safe. And don't forget, the capital has the Guardian Stone Lions. That thing doesn't seem to have lost yet."

"But I also heard that only the current Holy One can command that thing, and no one else can activate it. The Holy One doesn't even know where he is now. Even if we all die and the Holy One comes back to kill that bizarre spirit tree, it won't matter anymore."

Although he said that, Niu Niu's words still made some people's hearts waver.

You Xingchen obviously heard Niu Niu's conversation, but he just glanced at them coldly and continued to lead the way to kill the Wu Yu race oddities.

With a bang, You Xingchen slashed away a Wu Yu race oddity in front of him with his sword. However, more Wu Yu race oddities surrounded them from afar. At the same time, the black meteor shower in the sky continued to fall, and new Wu Yu race oddities would occasionally fall into the You residence.

Shouts of fighting had already begun to echo throughout the You residence.

With little time to spare, and just after a moment of observing the situation, three Wu Yu race oddities attacked him from three different angles. To make matters worse, Niu Niu screamed from behind, clearly indicating that more oddities were rushing towards the weaker group behind.

"Leave the safety of the rear to us!"

As the three oddities attacked, they were each struck by You Xingchen's sword, severing their insect limbs, and he retreated rapidly, only to be caught by someone.

"There are people protecting the rear, you don't need to worry about their safety."

Xu Shu's voice gradually calmed You Xingchen down.

Looking back, he saw a sheet of frost covering the ground behind them, and those dressed in Jibing Zong (Extreme Ice Sect) attire were fighting with the Wu Yu race oddities.

Those people were the elite disciples of the Jibing Zong that Fang Yue had brought back to the capital for support.

One of the elders, in particular, was using brute force to suppress the Wu Yu race oddities.

You Xingchen finally felt relieved. At the same time, more You residence disciples and Qing Si Qing Wei (Azure Guard) began to emerge from inside the You residence to provide support.

The situation gradually eased, but You Xingchen couldn't be happy.

Because soon, there were casualties on their side.

Most of these Wu Yu race oddities appeared in the form of insectoid skeletons, about two or three meters tall. They each possessed considerable strength, with each one having a Calamity-level strength or so. If the color of the skeleton was darker, their strength would be even greater.

Fortunately, no L厉-level (Wrath-level) Wu Yu race had appeared yet, otherwise…

Just as You Xingchen thought of this, the courtyard wall was suddenly smashed open by something, and a black shadow rushed towards him as if it smelled something.

"What the hell is that?!"

You Xingchen hastily raised his sword to block, and his figure was immediately sent flying more than ten meters away by the strange force. When he stopped and looked up,

He realized that the one who had knocked him away was actually an insectoid black bone oddity that was five meters tall!

In terms of shape, it was somewhat similar to the white bone Wu Yu race oddity, but compared to ordinary insects, it was closer to an ant-like skeletal form.

Its entire body was composed of huge black bones, similar to the shape of an ant.

Only the head was shaped like a white bone skull.

Each foot was as sharp as a divine weapon, easily cutting through the human body and causing massive casualties.

"Li-level... oddity!"

You Xingchen's face sank. At this moment, the oddity had already changed direction, and its six legs moved quickly, instantly crashing into the Jibing Zong disciples behind.

"Careful!"

Amidst You Xingchen's exclamations, the black insect oddity's insect limbs waved like afterimages, forming a dense black whirlwind.

The next moment, when the black whirlwind disappeared.

The bodies of the surrounding Jibing Zong disciples were instantly cut into pieces, their faces still frozen in expressions of astonishment and horror, and pieces of their corpses scattered on the ground.

"Audacious oddity!"

With a loud roar, You Xingchen rushed forward and immediately fought with the black insect oddity.

"Wo cao! Wo cao! Wo cao!!" (Damn! Damn! Damn!)

Niu Niu, who was not far away, was so frightened that he fell to the ground in a flustered manner. He scrambled backwards, and was lifted up by the wry-mouthed Xiao Wang, who carried him on his shoulders and quickly retreated.

In front of the two was Ye Shao, who ran while shouting back,

"Brother Niu, keep up with me, run faster!"

Next to them was Jing Yan, who was panting and carrying Qing Chen, covered in sweat, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

He clearly wanted to say something, anxiously pointing forward.

Niu Niu turned his gaze and his pupils shrank suddenly, almost causing his heart to stop.

He saw that a black insect oddity had actually emerged from the ground in front of them!

"Di, di, di..."

Niu Niu was so frightened that he stuttered on the spot, and the others' faces changed drastically. Even with emergency braking, they were still about to crash into it at such a close distance.

And the nearest support was too late to rescue them because of their random running.

It's over!

Everyone's faces were ashen, and they were so frightened that their bodies went limp as they watched the black insect oddity completely emerge from the ground, opening its bone mouth.

Just then…

Boom!!

A loud explosion suddenly came from the direction of the main hall behind them.

Accompanying the explosion was an extremely fast figure!

Almost without stopping, that figure went straight towards them, and accompanied by a flash of black light, it crossed paths with the black insect oddity in front of them!

Buzz!!

Only the sound of a strong sword rang out, and the black insect oddity's head was instantly severed and fell to the ground.

"...di, di, di... head?"

At this time, Niu Niu stammered as he continued the words he was running away with, but this "head" was not the same "head" as before.

Looking in shock at the black figure, he saw that the black figure did not even stop, like a black whirlwind sweeping across the entire field. Wherever it passed, insect limbs flew乱飞, and the Wu Yu race oddities fell one after another.

In just over ten seconds, most of the Wu Yu race oddities had fallen, greatly reducing the pressure on everyone.
