The sound of collapse... a desperate cry.
At that moment, a flash of anger appeared in Shi Kun's eyes. He looked up at Li Chen above, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Human Race is despicable, blaming everything on others; what right do they have to stop Li Chen?
But these lives being lost right now... it shouldn't be like this!
They were all living, breathing human beings too!
At this moment, perhaps Shi Kun finally understood why his family, despite holding an incredibly powerful position, dared not appear in the eyes of the world.
This concentrated malice can crush any family and destroy a person's original form.
With a whoosh.
A black halberd sliced through the smoke and landed in front of Shi Kun. Shi Kun, expressionless, clutched the halberd and murmured, "It shouldn't have been this way. The choice of my life is in my own hands, but as the Holy Son of this generation, I must pave the way for Human Race."
"Instead of watching you Li Chen, slaughter those ordinary people and the weak, this is my Fate, my final fate. Perhaps I will die by your hand, but perhaps this is my destiny."
Let this battle end our feud!
"The Forbidden Blood Halberd rises!!"
The blood is boiling.
Countless streams of blood flowed over the smoke and the crumbling buildings, coalescing into rivers of blood that flowed towards the Shi Kun. At that moment, a red light illuminated the entire world.
Entangled in the pool of blood.
The Shi Kun's footsteps seemed to shatter the void. Blood armor formed from the blood on its body covered its face and body. It held the Forbidden Blood Halberd in its hand, and its scarlet eyes stared directly at Li Chen's eyes, which seemed to be from the depths of hell.
This time he won't be careless like he was during the Academy Tournament.
The deaths of countless people in Huizhou City also forged his own abilities into something unprecedentedly powerful. A continuous stream of power flowed into his body, and this feeling was wonderful and exhilarating.
But it came at the cost of countless lives.
He will lead these dead souls in the first campaign against the demon born in this era.
"Blood?" Li Chen's expression remained unchanged. He had already experienced the abilities of the Shi Family Saint Son, and he even knew how to control blood, although he probably didn't use it as well as the Shi Family Saint Son, but he was not weak either.
He could already sense the soaring fighting spirit of the Shi Family Saint Son, and he even recalled the time during the Academy Tournament.
Those were truly beautiful times... Although he was embroiled in one mystery after another and hadn't yet become the person he is now, those beautiful times have been shattered.
Li Chen unconsciously took a step forward, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon where faint light was gradually approaching the city, and the ruins would eventually be illuminated by the dawn.
At this moment, Li Chen's heart was somewhat touched.
It seems I still yearn for dawn...
But only by hiding in the darkness can one conceal their truest self.
Come on... come on everyone...
Come kill me, come end my life...
At this moment, Li Chen's body surged with energy, and black beams of light swirled around him, while black lines appeared on his face.
With a "buzzing" sound.
The void surrounding the Shi Kun seemed to tremble.
Countless particles collided and rubbed against each other in his eyes, producing a violent explosion in just an instant.
But the Shi Kun used its blood to block it.
The blood river surrounding him was gradually decreasing. His ability relied on fighting with blood, and once the surrounding blood was wiped out by heat or other energies, he would be crippled.
We can't fight a war of attrition.
"Li Chen's ability is Vector Manipulation, and that strange power from Canghai Pass is also on him. I can only stall him; at least we should be able to rescue quite a few people around here."
"That old man was probably afraid that the God within Li Chen had appeared, so he dared not attack him."
That's right... Shi Kun had already learned a lot of incredible news during that year, which was only possible because of his identity.
A year ago, the Canghai Pass Evil Cult killed Li Chen in order to release the God hidden within him.
It was ultimately successful.
But what was released was not the Evil God they had imagined, but another God.
This is also the Special Affairs Bureau's speculation.
After all, the ability to wipe out all the Eerie Monsters from Canghai Pass in an instant was already a God feat. Its sudden appearance on Li Chen, a mere Withered Sea Realm, was extremely unbelievable. Therefore, when Li Chen was asleep, there were already two factions.
Conservative Faction, Radical Faction.
Of course, this reflects a division within the Special Affairs Bureau.
The Conservative Faction believe that Li Chen may possess a God rather than an Evil God within him, and that communication with that God through Li Chen might save humanity from its current predicament. After all, with the Black Mist invading, humanity's stagnation within the walls will eventually lead to collapse, so it would be better to seek God help.
Li Chen was the catalyst and the key figure. The Conservative Faction believed they could keep him, but the Radical Faction did not.
They believed that Li Chen was a member of Evil Cult, and that the God within him was definitely Evil God. They thought that when Canghai Pass killed those Eerie Monsters, he wanted to absorb their energy and then completely revive himself through Li Chen's vessel.
That would be a catastrophe for human civilization.
Therefore, the Radical Faction believed that killing Li Chen was the best solution.
It was at this moment that the Neutral Faction emerged.
They didn't care about Li Chen's life or death, but rather whether there was God within Li Chen's body, and how the Evil Cult knew that Li Chen possessed God.
It was precisely the moment they spoke out that both Conservative Faction and Radical Faction stopped their struggle, which led to their imprisonment in the Sinful Pass.
Because they didn't understand whether Gods existed.
Only when Li Chen awakens will we know.
But things never go as planned. After Li Chen awoke, the Sinful Pass did not tell the Inland, and even intentionally hid his information. It was not until the Sinful Pass was broken that all of humanity knew about Li Chen, who was known as the Child of Destiny.
Shi Kun belongs to the Neutral Faction within the Special Affairs Bureau. This Neutral Faction was actually established by various families to investigate controllable information, which is why he knows these things.
That's why he understood that the old man wasn't unwilling to make a move, but rather afraid of forcing out the God within Li Chen, so he was observing from a distance.
The Shi Kun used its blood to create a blood shield around itself, arched its body, and cursed under its breath, "What a bastard!"
Then, like a sharp sword, it charged towards Li Chen's direction.
Roar~
It was as if a blood-red tiger with bared fangs and claws appeared in the sky, opening its blood-red maw towards Li Chen.
Meanwhile, the Blood Tiger, wielding the Shi Kun -Forbidden Blood Halberd, slashed down from above.
A faint black light flashed in Li Chen's eyes.
Ink instantly transformed into a long sword, clashing with it.
At this moment, a strange sight appeared on the city wall: the auras of Black Mist and blood light clashed, as if the two were fighting for territory, and at least the blood light was shrinking rapidly.
The Shi Kun gripped its halberd with increasing force, its veins bulging, and roared, "Haaah... Break!"
