Blood Charm snorted coldly, looking at the light blades and Jianping attacking him, and raised one hand.
The hand bone, as if by magic, suddenly stretched out and transformed into a huge bone blade, which it then lightly slashed at the ground.
Smoke billowed instantly. He had no intention of fighting the two brats; instead, he was focused on opening Pandora's Box.
Jianping quickly retreated, his view being blocked.
But his eyes were still scanning his surroundings.
Ta-da~
The drops of blood flowing from the bone crevice fell onto Pandora's triangle and were instantly absorbed.
Blood Charm's eyes flashed red as she murmured, "Faster... faster..."
Once Pandora is activated, he can escape; the Soul Flame that the Spider had previously held onto has already been retrieved by him.
After this, he will no longer confront Evil Cults, but will instead flee to the border alone.
His life was already sealed the moment he failed to place Pandora in the location designated by the Ninth Seats.
This is why he brought Pandora here to activate it. Once Pandora is activated, both the Special Affairs Bureau and the Evil Cult will focus their attention on this place.
That was his chance to escape, his only chance.
At this moment, Li Chen's condition was very abnormal. He could feel that the strange space inside his body seemed to be rioting.
The Black Mist lingered before the pitch-black gate, unable to advance.
It seems to be waiting for the gate to open.
Li Chen felt as if his whole body was burning up, and his head was very dizzy.
The whispering voice still lingered in his mind, but he didn't know who was whispering in his head.
The whisper carried a strong sense of chaos, affecting his thinking and leaving his mind in a complete mess.
"No, we can't let him open that thing." At this moment, Li Chen only knew that he couldn't let that Evil Cult member open that strange thing.
He could clearly sense that if that thing were activated, both he and Shenzhou City would likely face disaster.
Instantly, clusters of energy condensed around him, launching indiscriminate attacks into the smoke.
Jianping had already retreated from the smoke, and a faint blood-red glint seemed to flicker in his eyes.
A stream of red energy swirled around his sword.
Cut!
Since the smoke is providing cover for him, what about a full-screen attack now?
In an instant Li Chen and Jianping's attacks crashed down on the place where the Blood Charm was still hiding, like a storm.
Boom!
The huge explosion reverberated throughout the street, like an earthquake.
The smoke cleared, and everything returned to calm, but it didn't seem to be over yet.
Inside a huge crater, Blood Charm was pierced by bones all over his body. He controlled all the bones in his body to burst out of his flesh and blood, turning into a bone armor.
It shielded him from the area-of-effect attack, completely obscuring his face, leaving only his blood-red eyes visible.
A hoarse voice came from beneath the bone armor. "You were ultimately a step too late."
A faint black mist began to emanate from his bony palm.
An extremely terrifying aura is spreading.
Li Chen was struck dumb, his face turned deathly pale, and he clutched his heart. Faint black runes began to appear on his face, like marks.
Pandora has been opened.
He could sense that the dark door had opened for a fleeting moment, and a terrifying Eerie Monsters had emerged from it.
In other words, Pandora was actually connected to the dark gate inside his body.
That explains everything. That's why when the Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters appeared in the Magic City, he could feel an immense pressure for a few seconds after the gate opened, but it only lasted for a moment.
Suppressing his discomfort, Li Chen growled, "Jianping, run! Run as far away as possible! Get out of here!!"
"That guy's coming out!!"
He could sense that the Eerie Monsters had disappeared from that strange space, so it must be rushing in from Pandora's Box next.
Jianping's expression was very solemn, but he did not back down.
He couldn't abandon his teammates. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he sensed that Li Chen definitely knew something.
"I..." Before he could even speak, Li Chen, standing to the side, directed two light blades to pierce through Jianping's body in an instant, sending him and the blades flying into the distance.
The black runes on Li Chen's face increased, and the whispers in his mind continued to echo.
"Oh?" Even Blood Charm, who was not far away, was somewhat surprised. Why was that kid attacking his own companion? And what was going on with his strange state?
But he had no time to think, as the Pandora in his hand had begun to grow larger.
The triangle has begun to fork, like a black rose breaking apart, with black mist drifting and eroding the area.
Even Blood Charm was somewhat surprised at this moment; this time, Pandora was far more terrifying than the last one.
Last time, only Eerie Monsters from the Calamity Realm appeared; nothing this strange happened.
He immediately abandoned Pandora, turned and left; his life was more important.
Now that Pandora has been opened, it's time for him to escape.
He took one last deep look at the strange boy, then vanished instantly.
Not far away.
A black light flashed in Li Chen's eyes. He could sense that Pandora was what the whispered voice in his mind wanted.
He was resisting, but to no avail.
The whispers continued, growing increasingly chaotic as the strange object was activated.
"Damn it, who is this person in my mind?!" Li Chen was somewhat angry at this moment, but he still calmed down.
He had done so intentionally when he saw Jianping off.
Although the light blade pierced through his body, it did not reach any vital organs. This allowed Jianping to move away from the area and also to notify the others.
He was about to confront that strange entity. He didn't know what would happen, but he wanted to understand why everything in that eerie space had found him.
Now is an opportunity, but also an extremely dangerous one.
He wasn't sure if he would die.
Li Chen looked at the strange flower-like thing and slowly walked over.
An oppressive feeling instantly descended upon his shoulders.
The feeling of oppressive power was very familiar; it was the same oppressive feeling he had experienced the first time he stood in front of that pitch-black gate.
Li Chen's aura was extremely unstable as he slowly walked towards the spot, muttering, "What is it, and why do they want me to have it?"
Su Baozi, forgotten not far away, looked somewhat bewildered.
He hurriedly ran towards the direction of Li Chen and Jianping.
Suddenly his eyes widened as he looked at the black-clad youth soaring through the air.
Jianping, carrying the dissipated blade of light, slowly descended in front of him from the sky.
Jianping's face was somewhat pale; he had been completely dragged along by that blade of light, and even his wounds were still bleeding.
"Huh?" Su Zhe asked, looking puzzled.
