Of the two fallen Ancient God Church members, the young recruit struggled to raise his head and looked at Baili Pangpang, who was approaching with a cold sneer. His gaze flickered uncertainly.
In the end, as though he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath, and a mass of inky light erupted from his chest!
"You?!" The female recruit from the Ancient God Church beside him shuddered at the sight.
"Fall back!" An Qingyu's pupils contracted as he swiftly gave the order. The members of the Nightfall Squad retreated at top speed without the slightest hesitation.
Boom—!!
An utterly black sphere of light swallowed the two Ancient God Church members.
As the terrifying energy fluctuations dissipated, the surrounding earth and vegetation remained completely undamaged. Only the corpses of the two Ancient God Church members lay limp on the ground, utterly motionless.
"Did they commit suicide?" Jiang Er asked doubtfully.
An Qingyu frowned as he walked to the corpses. A gray glimmer flashed in his eyes as he began analyzing their bodies.
"Their bodies are dead, and their souls have vanished... They should be dead?" An Qingyu murmured to himself.
A moment later, he shook his head. "Forget it. Once this is over, take these two corpses back for an autopsy. We should find out then."
Boom! Boom! Boom—!!
Three successive thunderous explosions rang out in the night sky. Billowing smoke rose from the inverted Steel Firmament, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
No one noticed a faint flicker of black light passing through the soil beneath the ground. It reached a deeply sunken crater and silently slipped into Lu Baoyou's body.
Lu Baoyou frowned, seeming to sense something. He lowered his head to look at his palm, confusion appearing in his eyes...
But in the end, he found nothing.
