A crowd of panicked people had gathered at the roulette wheel.
The expressions and demeanor of everyone were seen by those in the Sequence User, some feeling sorry for them, but helpless.
This was so sudden...
This city, which had never experienced Eerie Tide before, was suddenly struck by a massive Eerie Tide. They couldn't withstand it, nor could they defend it. This wasn't a borderland teeming with powerful figures; it was an inland area where humans lived and worked in peace.
At this moment, the Eerie Monsters crowds who had once mocked the border for failing to hold it finally understood the meaning of panic.
At the end of the road, Li Chen walked along the street dripping with blood, ink in hand, his eyes filled with indifference.
"The world is so cruel, what is it that people sing praises to?"
"Hope... for peace, or for power?"
"You can see there's going to be a huge mess."
With a "bang".
Suddenly, a bullet struck Li Chen in the back.
But no blood dripped as expected.
Lying in a pool of blood, the man, not quite dead yet, stared furiously at the figure's back, his arm still trembling as he gripped the gun.
Li Chen paused for a moment, then ignored him and continued forward.
And then came that desperate, heart-wrenching roar from behind.
"Don't go!!"
"Demon! You can't go! Come and kill me!"
"You damned beast!"
"Humanity should never have given birth to a scum like you, you bastard!"
Li Chen ignored the figure gradually disappearing from the man's sight, leaving only him lying in the rain, his blood flowing freely.
The man gripped the gun tighter and tighter, trying to stand up, but his legs were broken. "Damn it, why, why!"
"Why did Huizhou become his target!"
"So it was him all along!"
When their Special Affairs Bureau team wanted to go to support the front line, they encountered the person they feared most in their lives. Even now, the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau still displays his photo and information on his abilities.
They knew Li Chen's identity simply by comparing him, and because they knew his identity, they thought Li Chen was still a student from back then. As a group of people who were all at the Withered Sea Realm, they launched a siege against him.
The result... was total annihilation.
He was left behind as the captain, with both legs severed.
The man felt despair as he recalled what had just happened. Their team was considered very strong in Huizhou City, but they hadn't even lasted a single round against that man.
Huizhou is finished, unless someone can kill him.
Li Chen was simply walking slowly along the road leading to the center. There were still some civilians who hadn't died on the street, squatting by the roadside.
Or perhaps they wait for death to come to them at their own doorstep.
When ordinary people realize they can't escape, they can only wait to die.
Li Chen's expression remained expressionless, but a ripple of emotion stirred within him. He murmured, "Am I right or wrong? Human hearts are far too complicated."
"Is this the 'myriad lights' that Teacher Yu back then?"
In silence, Li Chen continued walking forward.
Cries and pleas for help echoed all around the giant roulette wheel. Under umbrellas, countless people stared with fear at the Special Affairs Bureau agents blocking their way.
One of the people in the crowd roared, "Didn't you say you were protecting our safety?"
"Why couldn't you defend the city when the Eerie Monsters attacked?"
"Are the taxes we pay every year just for nothing?"
"You're just using our hard-earned money to enjoy yourselves, aren't you?"
"Or are you planning to abandon us and make us food for the Eerie Monsters!"
"Instead of blocking us, why don't you block the Eerie Monsters?"
The white hoods concealed most of the agents' expressions, but a very few were trembling, suppressing their anger.
This is human nature; once their own interests are harmed...
They will then shirk responsibility and impose other ideas on others, claiming that their own safety comes at the expense of others.
Li Chen looked at everything in the crowd, his expression indifferent.
Instead, their gaze fell upon a middle-aged man with a square face and a very serious expression standing in the tent erected in the center of the roulette wheel. He must be the commander-in-chief of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Judging from the aura, it is Calamity Realm.
It seems that they chose not to guard the pass in order to protect the majority of the population during their evacuation.
The person seemed to have noticed the gaze as well.
His gaze turned serious as he met Li Chen's eyes. In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply, and he roared, "Run! Everyone, run!!"
"Run! Run as far away as possible! Hide anywhere!"
"Don't come any closer!"
The agent standing nearby was still in shock when he was thrown out and landed directly in the crowd.
It seems we've been discovered after all.
Li Chen glanced around at the crowd, then waved his hand lightly. Everyone was enveloped by an invisible energy body, and the next second they all coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
The ability to control blood is achieved by contacting their bodies and gently manipulating the direction of blood flow, causing their brains to rush with blood and plunging them into a deep coma.
They will all die here if they are not rescued in time.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his body erupting with golden light, dispelling the surrounding energy. He said angrily, "So it was you who caused all this trouble."
"It seems those fallen agents didn't die in vain."
They had actually received information that this Eerie Tide was most likely not a sudden attack, but rather deliberately orchestrated by someone. They suspected it was Evil Cult, but they never imagined it was the work of Li Chen, who was wanted by the authorities.
Li Chen looked at him coldly, but the only response he received was a black blade that materialized in the void and rushed towards him.
Bloodshot veins spread across the middle-aged man's pupils as he roared, "You deserve to die!"
Do you know how many people Huizhou City?!
"How many more people have died today because of this Eerie Tide? Don't you have a heart?"
Don't you remember the kindness of the Human Race in raising you?
"The Child of Destiny Li Chen!!"
As he spoke, his hands, surrounded by a golden light, never stopped, shattering the incoming blades with each punch, while his figure rapidly approached Li Chen.
Under the umbrella, Li Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he did not respond.
The kindness of raising and nurturing...
They see themselves as pawns, only discarding them when they're useful. But what if he were just an ordinary person?
Are you currently living off your parents' death benefits?
Ultimately, it's not about raising children; it's just about them being useful to the parents.
With a "buzzing" sound.
The middle-aged man had already reached Li Chen's front.
The golden fist was about to hit Li Chen's face, but Li Chen easily blocked it with one hand, and Lei Jiuyou's gaze met the man's.
Li Chen said coldly, "It's just a difference in stance. Behind me lies an abyss; if I don't advance, I die."
Ah!!
In an instant, the middle-aged man's hand that was being held was torn off at the root, and blood dripped to the ground.
