Darkness Within

Luo Yan wasn't surprised at all that Luo Zi had broken through his sword energy; he hadn't expected that a casual strike could kill Luo Zi.

After all, the other party was a key member of the "Zhonghe" class.

They are neither the elite of the 'black rope' class nor cannon fodder of the 'waiting for life' class.

The most important purpose of this strike.

It's about keeping Luo Zi.

Luo Yan was satisfied with this.

He landed on the ground.

He didn't even look at it.

The ' Blood Drinker ' flew through the air, and the long sword swept horizontally.

The blade unleashed a ripple of Blood Mist, heading straight for Shi Chuan and the others.

Although Shi Chuan was the commander, his combat strength was mediocre, and he didn't dare to confront the sword energy head-on like Luo Zi did.

He yelled and fell to the ground.

His reaction was already quite good; the soldiers weren't so lucky.

Before they could react, the blade energy swept across their bodies. Although their bodies were not completely separated, they were blasted away by the ripples of the blade energy.

When they hit the ground, they all coughed up blood and stopped breathing.

At this time.

With a single sweep of his blade, Luo Yan felled the soldier and paid him no further attention. His gaze locked onto Luo Zi, and he vanished in a flash.

'Snow Drink' transformed into a blurry afterimage, slashing towards Luo Zi's throat.

The latter leaped up suddenly, its body tumbling in mid-air, brushing past ' Blood Drinker ' like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan.

Upon landing, two long metal tubes are pulled out from behind the waist, joined together, and twisted, causing another section to extend from the front and back.

It turned into a long spear.

Luo Zi gripped his spear and shouted.

The spearhead trembled incessantly, scattering streams of Primal Energy that distorted the air and emitted intricate, dazzling spear rays.

Thousands of spear beams roared as they swept towards Luo Yan.

Luo Yan activated the Blood Transformation Scripture, and the Blood Drinker in his hand suddenly became blurry.

Suddenly, streaks of blood appeared haphazardly before the spear light that Luo Zi had unleashed.

Blood splattered against the spear's edge, producing a clanging sound.

Using ' Chasing Wind and Shadow ' to shatter the spear points, Luo Yan's figure flickered, instantly appearing to Luo Zi's left.

Luo Zi's eyes finally moved.

Luo Yan's figure flashed again.

Using the "Dragonfly Touching Water" technique twice in succession, Luo Yan appeared in Luo Zi's blind spot.

' Blood Drinker ' soared into the air.

A spurt of blood shot up from Luo Zi's arm.

He retreated repeatedly, brandished his spear, and roared as he charged forward again.

While Luo Zi and Luo Yan were fighting, Shi Chuan Chiki left.

Knowing his own low combat strength, he knew he couldn't help Luo Zi if he stayed.

make a prompt decision.

As Shi Chuan ran across the small bridge and turned the corner, a flower suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

A glimmer of light flashed past his shoulder at the corner of his eye and disappeared into the darkness ahead.

He was shot!

Shi Chuan quickly Fish Leap and squeezed through a nearby window.

It rolled twice.

Then it shrank into the darkness.

Only then did I realize my shoulder was burning with pain.

Recalling what just happened.

Judging from the trajectory of that shot.

The other person's shot was aimed at his head.

But he suddenly turned, and that's how we brushed past each other.

Shi Chuan, panting, looked warily out the window.

He quickly formed hand seals, putting on ' Iron Armor ' for himself.

Then he took out a pistol and pointed it at the window.

For a cultivator at the Primary Level Realm like him, a pistol is more practical than the effort required to use Combat Skill and Mystic Art.

Just as Shi Chuan was completely focused on the window, a pink lotus flower silently drifted in from the darkness behind him.

Printed towards Shi Chuan.

Shi Chuan suddenly sensed something was amiss and quickly moved around, his eyes immediately catching sight of the suspicious lotus flower.

The lotus flower then touched the concrete pillar that Shi Chuan had just been leaning against, and the lotus flower shattered instantly, causing a crack to appear in the concrete pillar.

Then, the seemingly delicate flowers and leaves suddenly burst forth in all directions, transforming into streaks of pink light!

Shi Chuan quickly covered his face with his hands.

Several streaks of pink light brushed past him, colliding with the ' Iron Armor ' and creating a bright brilliance.

Fortunately, Shi Chuan's ' Iron Armor ' was not breached.

"Who!"

"Come out!"

Shi Chuan yelled and opened fire into the darkness.

The streaks of fire disappeared into the darkness, like mud oxen entering the sea, without even making a splash.

After the magazine was emptied, several more pink lotus flowers floated lightly from the darkness and from different directions.

They blocked Shi Chuan's retreat, and Shi Chuan suddenly slammed the gun in his hand into one of the lotus flowers.

The pistol bounced away instantly, and the lotus flower shattered abruptly, its petals scattering everywhere.

The four streaks of pink light touched the other lotus flowers, causing them all to explode!

In this way, Shi Chuan avoided being surrounded, but the pink light streams splashing in all directions also temporarily blocked his movements.

He could only huddle up, covering his head and trying to minimize the chances of being hit by the petals.

Even so, the pink jets all around were incredibly dense.

Shi Chuan was still hit by many beams of light, and his ' Iron Armor ' shimmered with rings of Primal Energy.

After a brief resistance, it finally shattered, but the pink jets also disappeared.

Shi Chuan dared not linger any longer and ran towards the window.

Before he could leap out of the window, more white lotus flowers shot out from the darkness.

These lotus flowers, connected together, resemble a Da Long.

Shi Chuan glanced back, his pupils contracting slightly.

Later.

A vast expanse of white lotus petals, like a river, gushed forth from the window.

In that white river of flowers, Shi Chuan's body was uncontrollably swept away by the petals and leaves.

It crashed heavily into the opposite wall, the river of flowers washing over it until it gradually disappeared after a while.

Only then did Shi Chuan slide down the wall, leaving a trail of blood on it.

He sat on the ground, panting heavily, unable to move even a finger.

Just then, he saw a flash of light in the darkness through the window.

This was the last scene Shi Chuan saw in his life.

A bullet hole appeared on the commander's forehead, and blood slowly oozed from it.

In his wide-open eyes, he saw a petite figure leaping out of the window.

Yang Tao!

After confirming that Shi Chuan was dead, the little girl swayed and collapsed to the ground.

Her black battle suit was stained red with blood on her shoulders.

She was wounded by a stray bullet when Shi Chuan fired randomly into the house, but she didn't utter a sound.

Only now did she let out a groan.

Yang Tao pulled down her mask, her little face covered in sweat.

She pulled off her clothes at the shoulder to check the wound.

Fortunately, it was just a scratch, but the skin on my shoulder was torn open.

The area around the wound was a bloody mess.

Yang Tao took out a packet of wound medicine from her waist bag and sprinkled it on the wound.

He took out another band-aid, put it on his shoulder, then stood up and walked towards the village.

In the village, beside a small bridge.

Gunfight with a longsword.

The collision sparked countless flames.

With a flick of his wrist, ' Blood Drinker ' blurred again, almost invisible.

Luo Yan used "Chasing Wind and Shadow" a second time, leaving seven or eight streaks of bloody light hanging beside Luo Zi's spear.

Luo Zi now gripped the middle and rear of the spear with both hands; the spear was made of a soft alloy.

Now, as he swung the spear, streaks of light, like rushing torrents, emanated from its tip.

The blades clashed with Luo Yan's.

Ding ding ding!

The sounds of impact were continuous and carried for a long distance.

As Luo Zi fought, she was secretly alarmed.

Every time the long sword opposite him struck him, he felt as if he was about to lose his grip on his spear.

Furthermore, it seems to be due to the opponent's cultivation technique.

As the battle progressed, Luo Zi became increasingly agitated, his chest heaving with a surge of blood, and he felt a persistent urge to cough up blood.
