Chapter 294 Tian Erjun?!

"Jun-daren!!"

"No!!"

The crowd cried out in alarm, their wails blending into a chorus of grief. Painful screams echoed as everyone frantically rushed toward Tian Erjun, desperate to save him.

However, with his brain pierced by the iron cables, he had died instantly, leaving no room for rescue.

You Sisi's pupils shrank, her mind going blank with a resounding buzz.

Tian Erjun... was dead!

Dead right before her eyes!

Everything had happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly, that she hadn't even had time to prepare herself. This elder, who had always guided her forward on her life's path, had been killed by a bizarre entity!

Anger surged through her, and she opened her mouth to roar…

*Swoosh!*

Her pupils constricted violently, leaving her unable to react…

*Clang!!*

The iron cable was suddenly deflected by a blade, slicing across her right cheek. The exaggerated speed tore her cheek, leaving a bloody gash.

But You Sisi didn't care at all. Her mouth hung open, her attention completely drawn to the person who had just saved her with a blade.

"Ye... Se?"

"It's me!"

Fang Yue replied in a deep voice, while shouting, "Everyone, fall back! Stay away from this ghost thing!"

Fang Yue didn't know what the thing was called, but it looked like a cocoon made of iron cables, so incredibly bizarre.

He had arrived just in time to witness Tian Erjun being killed by the [Iron Cable Cocoon]. If he had been any later, even You Sisi would have been killed on the spot.

"It's Lord Ye!"

"Lord Ye, Lord Jun, he... Waaah!"

"Listen to Lord Ye! With Lord Ye here, we'll be alright!"

The crowd quickly distanced themselves, with only Captain Wu and a few others staying close by.

"Boss!" Qing Chen exclaimed excitedly. "It's great that you're alive! Listen, I…"

Qing Chen quickly told Fang Yue everything he knew. Combining it with what Fang Yue already knew, he got a rough understanding of the situation.

In reality, Bai Xiaoya had already been on a killing spree at the Qing Si when he had entered to retrieve something from the underground treasure vault.

Later, Fang Yue had emerged from the underground treasure vault and immediately gone to find Lord Han. But the battle had already broken out there, and he was too late.

Now that things had turned out like this, Fang Yue was also stunned.

"You're saying that Bai Xiaoya devoured Bai Daya?"

"The Coffin Ghoul... no, I should say Bai Xiaoya, who came out of the white bone coffin, entered the Qing Si for this very purpose. From what I observed, the other killings seemed unimportant to her. Also, one of her targets includes you, Boss."

Fang Yue's expression darkened. With a clang, he blocked another iron cable flying out from the Iron Cable Cocoon.

Includes me? I was planning to kill her!

Tian Erjun died by her hand, and if he hadn't arrived, who knows how many more would have died!

These were all people he cared about. How could he let them be killed by Bai Xiaoya!

"Xiao Ye…"

Lord Han maintained his usual appearance in a small blood-red robe, but his right side was wrapped in bloodstained bandages. Despite this, he insisted on fighting.

Fang Yue's eyes reddened slightly. "Lord Han, fall back. Leave this to me!" kanδhu溂

"No! I can still use one more... one more move! A Yun-level or even higher level of power. If I risk my life, I should be able to help you at a critical moment!"

Lord Han knew how bad his situation was.

But right now, he had to fight!

If Bai Xiaoya wasn't killed, everyone would die.

Outside was the night rain, inside were the rain ghouls. No one had a way out! But there were too few people who could stand up and play a real role in this battle!

Fang Yue took a deep breath and insisted that Qing Chen and You Sisi retreat.

He left only Lord Han, Captain Wu, and a few white-clothed individuals to assist from the sidelines.

Captain Wu's usefulness was actually limited, but Captain Wu himself insisted on fighting on the front lines.

Having witnessed Captain Wu's ability to resurrect after death, it was even more buggy than a vagrant's resurrection!

A vagrant's resurrection was called reincarnation, the character was directly scrapped, and they could only re-enter the game after 24 hours.

Captain Wu's was an instant resurrection in place. He inherited all his abilities and didn't even need to retrieve his corpse.

Fang Yue was envious of this ability. He wondered if Captain Wu was a truly gifted individual.

However, Captain Wu himself seemed unaware of this and only said that if they reached the capital, perhaps there would be capable people who knew the source of this ability.

However, even Lord Han couldn't see what kind of power this was, so Fang Yue didn't have much hope for Captain Wu's trip to the capital.

*Swoosh swoosh!*

Just as Fang Yue was thinking about this, two more iron cables flew out from the Iron Cable Cocoon, heading straight for him.

Fang Yue had just barely managed to block them with two clangs.

*Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!*

Hundreds of iron cables suddenly burst out from the Iron Cable Cocoon.

Like a peacock spreading its tail, like a chaotic dance of demons, the iron cables shot out in all directions, either piercing through bodies, striking walls, or destroying houses. What was most surprising was that some ghouls ran over from a distance and jumped high, as if offering their heads, only to be pierced by the iron cables in mid-air and pulled back.

The surrounding ghouls continued to run toward this place through the night rain, converging here.

They seemed fearless of death. Even if they were killed by the night rain halfway, they showed no intention of dodging the rain or fleeing. They all rushed over as if they had gone mad.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Enemy! Enemy attack!"

"There are ghouls! There are ghouls!"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The people who had been driven out of the range of the Iron Cable Cocoon took out their weapons and fought with the ghouls outside.

Some Qing Guards even crazily rushed into the night rain to fight the ghouls, resulting in both being killed instantly by the night rain.

The power of the night rain was something that ordinary postnatal martial artists couldn't withstand!

In the chaos, Fang Yue could only protect a few people. He was busy dealing with the attacks and protecting the crowd, helping them to retreat from this place.

When the barrage of iron cables stopped, all the ghouls seemed to have broken free from control and ran away in terror, seeking shelter from the rain.

But the scene had become a mess. Most of the surrounding houses had been destroyed, leaving only a few standing, forming a large open space.

The night rain poured down unhindered, but only Fang Yue and Bai Xiaoya were still standing in the open space.

Everyone else, whether ghoul or human, had retreated to the shelters further away.

Under the dark night, black clouds rumbled with thunder, and the night rain intensified.

Amidst the corpses scattered on the ground, Fang Yue coldly looked at the long-haired girl in front of him.

Compared to before, only her face seemed like both Bai Daya and Bai Xiaoya, as if the two had merged.

In other aspects, she was no different from before.

But for some reason, Fang Yue felt that... Bai Xiaoya had become more complete, more like a whole. It was as if some kind of defect had been fixed, making her even more perfect.

Under Fang Yue's gaze, Bai Xiaoya slowly opened her eyes and looked directly at the person in front of her.

"Fang Yue, long time no see."
