Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions were heard from all the entrances to the Blood Net in Huizhou City, with flames shooting into the sky.

One after another, figures emerged from the swirling smoke.

The Eerie Monsters was thrown into the sky and then sniped to death.

Some were even laughing hysterically, finally arriving at this hell on earth. Many of the Sequence User were from Huizhou City and were rushing home at breakneck speed to see if their families had escaped.

For a moment, roars filled the entire city.

Li Chen stood on the city wall without any attempt to conceal his body. He stood there like a statue, silently observing everything. Below, some of the Sequence User had already noticed the people on the city wall.

Among them, the angelic woman of Order of Justice, wielding a flaming sword, moved swiftly towards Li Chen like a beam of light cutting through the sky.

Click~ Click~

The collision between flames and energy produced bursts of ear-piercing noise in the sky.

The angelic woman glared at Li Chen, the flames on his Blazing Sword growing ever stronger, the intense heat seeming to engulf the entire sky.

"The Fallen Li Chen!"

"You will be subject to the execution Order of Justice and order!"

"We, all of humanity, will kill you, you degenerate!"

Li Chen remained expressionless, coldly observing the woman before him, his heart completely unmoved.

The Fallen... is this yet another new name?

I've lost count of how many vicious titles I've been forcibly bestowed upon me.

But so what? This is the path I've chosen to walk.

So what if they're called demons, monsters, or evil spirits?

His steps will not stop...

A shallow-minded person is easily angered by curses and delighted by praise. But these are merely other people's opinions of you, and a person who lives according to the opinions of others is destined to be pitiful.

What do these insults have to do with me?

I was simply fulfilling my own will and ideas.

Go ahead and curse if you want.

So what if I curse? Will that stop me?

They're all just pitiful people...

Cang Yue looked at the angelic woman rushing towards her, smiled, and raised her hand. A wisp of Black Mist swirled in her palm and gradually condensed into a black and gold-wrapped revolver pistol, which looked very strange.

Because the moment she used her ability, Li Chen could slightly sense a change in the flow of energy around him.

Behind Cang Yue, a clock seemed to appear, ticking away.

With a "bang".

Cang Yue fired, a bullet wreathed in black light shot towards the angel woman. To everyone, it seemed very slow, even the angel woman herself sneered, her flaming sword merely twitching slightly.

She tried to block the incoming bullet, but the next moment she suddenly realized that her body was also slowing down.

I can't move!

No... it's not that it can't move, it's that it moves too slowly!

The angelic woman's pupils constricted as she cursed under her breath, "Damn it, the ability to manipulate time!"

"They're all monsters!"

She knew about the Child of Destiny.

Little did he know that he was surrounded by a group of monsters. He had initially thought he could easily kill and abduct them, but now he realized that it was they who were in danger.

With a "buzzing" sound.

A burst of flame erupted from the angelic woman's body, slowly expanding like a balloon, while the bullet fired by Cang Yue was gradually forced to stop before finally falling.

Cang Yue, holding a pistol, smiled and said, "What a pity."

However, almost everyone noticed her abilities.

Li Chen frowned. A time-related ability?

This was the first time he had ever heard of Cang Yue's abilities, and he hadn't expected them to be of this type. Regardless of the order of sequences, once they were related to time and space, they were definitely not weak.

After all, they were all promising talents, but he hadn't expected Cang Yue to be so well hidden.

Then another aged voice came from afar.

"Little Justice Alliance members, why aren't you waiting for this old man?"

"Golden Hook Fishing!"

A golden hook, stretching hundreds of meters, actually hooked the angelic woman away right in front of Li Chen and the others?

It's like fishing.

The direction from which the golden hook came was the rooftop of a building, where an elderly man with a buzz cut was drinking wine with one hand while holding a gourd in the other, and a fishing rod in the other.

Five other people were standing beside him.

Among them was the Shi Family Saint Son.

The angelic woman climbed off the hook and snapped, "Damn it, you old man, couldn't you have given me a signal?"

"Do you really have to put on this act?"

The old man hiccuped, then laughed loudly, "Still as unpleasant as ever!"

At this moment, his eyes sharpened. "That Child of Destiny, Li Chen, should be in the Calamity Realm. It seems the intelligence was inaccurate. Moreover, everyone around him should be in the Calamity Realm, one of whom is Cang Yue, the Holy Maiden of the Canglan Family, who wields the 'Clock Gun.' You've already experienced it, so I won't elaborate."

"Our mission this time is to retake Huizhou City. It would be best if we could capture those two, unless it's an emergency and execution is permitted."

"Naturally, protecting the surviving civilians is the top priority."

"Pan Dong will go to the gate to prevent the Eerie Monsters from entering a second time, and also block the entrance. Shi Kun and the others will go to assist the Order of Justice personnel in stopping the Child of Destiny."

Pan Dong was a burly man whose bronze muscles stretched his clothes so much that the muscle definition was clearly visible. His face was a baby face, which was quite a contrast, but he was a powerful expert in the Calamity Realm.

Pan Dong asked with some doubt, "And what about you?"

"We all have missions to complete; you can't exactly sit here drinking, can you?"

The old man relaxed and smiled, "I naturally had a mission, but I've already completed it."

"Now I'll just watch you."

Pan Dong was a little confused. Was it done?

Why didn't he see the old man move at all?

The angelic woman sneered, gripping her flaming sword. Ignoring the old man's instructions, her gaze, like a raging fire, fixed on Li Chen, and declared, "Fallen one, today we, the Justice, will surely slay you here!"

With a "whoosh" sound.

Her wings unfurled, and she charged forward with lightning speed.

However, the blood flowing through the body of the Shi Kun also followed, while the others leaped across the building to keep up.

The old man sipped his wine, his eyes narrowed to slits, and murmured, "The Child of Destiny, Li Chen, and the witch Cang Yue are truly an arrangement of fate. It's just that Yu Qingnian went to such great lengths to protect this little one, yet the result is disappointing."

"And Yu Qingnian, what choice would you make then?"

What exactly is the future that Elder Gu sees?

"Is it truly only the Child of Destiny who can create miracles? Is there no new generation to emerge?"

The old man sighed and continued drinking, not even glancing at their fight.

When Pan Dong headed towards the city gate, he finally learned what the old man had done.

Countless Eerie Monsters were frozen in place by a strange line in the sky, and even their eerie eyeballs could follow Pan Dong's movements, clearly indicating that these Eerie Monsters were still alive.

They were simply being controlled by a force and unable to move.

And this power was the old man's.

They actually completed the city Cleansing without anyone noticing.
