The two guards glanced at the Bone Spike Fierce Wolf that had been blasted to death in a single strike, feeling a sense of utter disbelief wash over them!
What manner of magical freak was their young master, exactly?!!
Chen Lang's cultivation was clearly far inferior to theirs, yet... this kind of defying-the-natural-order power was actually something he had mastered...
As the Bone Spike Fierce Wolf fell, one could sense that the Lesser Demons originally converging toward this place were now scattering in every direction.
"Let's go, keep moving forward," Chen Lang instructed.
If the guards' previous respect for Chen Lang stemmed from his status as a direct descendant of the Chen family, at this moment, it was entirely due to his strength.
They no longer attempted to stop Chen Lang in anything, instead executing his orders without a word.
Clearly, this world still ultimately respected strength...
Roughly another ten minutes later, they arrived at a large plaza beside the Inscription School.
At that moment, in the large plaza and inside the supermarket, quite a few Demonic Wolves and Demonic Rats were still brutally slaughtering survivors.
It was unimaginable what kind of living hell this place would have turned into if they had arrived even a little later!!
"Save people!"
"Bolt!"
"Wind Disk!"
"Ice Lock!"
The three of them could not immediately strike the Demonic Beasts slaughtering humans, but they could instantly unleash destruction on the ones surrounding them.
Relying on their numbers, these Lesser Demons had not fled the area immediately, but under the baptism of lightning, storm, and Ice Lock, they quickly turned into one corpse after another...
"Ice Vine - Cover!"
Mu Ningxue charged straight into the supermarket. Though she could not achieve the rapid kills of Chen Lang and the others, her spreading cold qi still managed to restrict the Demonic Rats that attempted to commit violence.
"Thud, thud, thud!!!"
Yet her practical combat experience was clearly somewhat lacking. Just as she froze those visible targets, a One-Eyed Demon Wolf suddenly leaped down from the upper floor and charged straight toward her.
Under these circumstances, Mu Ningxue had simply no time to attack again.
A set of magic armor instantly covered her body as well.
"Hum!!!"
Yet the anticipated impact and pain never came. Mu Ningxue slowly lowered her arms to discover that the One-Eyed Demon Wolf that had previously lunged toward her was now embedded deep into the wall.
Turning her head, she saw that one of Chen Lang's hands was radiating Silver Light.
Although Mu Ningxue had been specially recruited into the Imperial Capital Academy, she still possessed theoretical knowledge. Naturally, she recognized the magic Chen Lang had cast.
Was it not precisely the magic from the dimensional domain... the Space Element!
This was Chen Lang's second magic element... yet, as she had heard, people usually only had a chance to awaken the Space Element after reaching the High-level, didn't they?
"Buzzz..."
"Crash!!!"
Having cleared the threats around Mu Ningxue, Chen Lang used successive Thunder Seals to blast apart every single Giant Eyed Stinky Rat and One-Eyed Demon Wolf.
"Th... thank you," Mu Ningxue said, looking at Chen Lang, who had walked up beside her.
"Before saving people, you must first ensure your own safety."
Charging in so recklessly might not only fail to save anyone, but it could even end up harming herself!
Mu Ningxue knew very well that her previous actions had been rash, and she harbored no dissatisfaction toward Chen Lang's lecture.
As Chen Lang spoke, his gaze suddenly shifted toward a building directly across from the shopping mall.
Seeing Chen Lang suddenly look behind him, Mu Ningxue cast her gaze in that direction as well.
However, by the time she looked over, there was nothing left there...
On the rooftop beside the shopping plaza, two men dressed in black stood quietly. They were members of the Black Vatican, and one of them was Yu Ang.
The battle below had drawn their attention, and Yu Ang had witnessed the entire scene between Chen Lang and Mu Ningxue. The moment he laid eyes on Chen Lang, the jealousy in his heart had surged straight upward.
Yet it was precisely because of his excessive focus that he was detected by Chen Lang, whose spiritual perception was formidable.
The moment he locked eyes with Chen Lang, he immediately lost his nerve. Far from wanting to stay and guard the Demonic Beast entrance, he fled at the very first moment...
"What's wrong?" Mu Ningxue saw nothing at all and looked rather puzzled.
"A couple of rats were peering at this place just a moment ago."
Chen Lang spoke, looking at Mu Ningxue before continuing, "One of them was your father's adopted son, Yu Ang."
Hearing this, Mu Ningxue paused!
Ever since Yu Ang had been defeated in that duel days ago, he had completely vanished.
She had not expected him to appear here today... Very quickly, Mu Ningxue thought of something, and staring at Chen Lang, she said, "He's a member of the Black Vatican!"
"It seems my previous guess was indeed correct..." Chen Lang nodded.
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, Mu Ningxue grew somewhat furious, even itching to give chase and execute him on the spot!
Seeing her angry expression, Chen Lang thought to himself: If you found out that your uncle is also a part of the Black Vatican... and that this calamity in Bocheng is his testing ground, how would you react?
He naturally had no intention of sparing Mu He, this cancerous tumor capable of framing Mu Ningxue. Unfortunately, Chen Lang did not feel he currently possessed the strength to crush him to death.
"Rest assured, his end won't be a good one," Chen Lang comforted her, then turned to the two guards who had finished clearing the external battle and said, "Search this building and see if there are any other survivors."
"Yes."
The two departed, while Chen Lang said, "Let's search the basement."
"Mmm."
As for the people who had just been rescued here, though terrified, Chen Lang informed them that the external Demonic Beasts had been cleared and told them to wait right here, leaving them with no choice but to comply.
The shopping building occupied nearly a third of the plaza. This was a brand-new shopping mall, yet because of the unbridled rampage of the Demonic Beasts, it had been completely battered into a state of utter ruin—shattered glass, smashed doors and walls, and a littered floor could be seen everywhere.
The first basement level of the plaza was the Walmart Supermarket. Human food held no great attraction for Demonic Beasts, otherwise this place would have quickly become a gathering ground for them.
The supermarket was fortunate; because one had to take the elevator down, it had not yet been discovered by the Demonic Beasts.
Yet, by the same token, they had no idea what was happening on the surface either...
Precisely because of this, a young woman with a leg affliction had been left behind here in solitude, while the rest had already followed a plumber away.
At that moment, Ye Xin Xia kept her head lowered, her strands of hair veiling her face, her fair little palms resting folded upon her lap.
No matter how calm she tried to be, that sense of unease still permeated the air, and her unconscious tightening grip on her skirt was the best reflection of it.
She did not blame anyone, knowing clearly that everyone was struggling to save their own lives at a time like this, let alone possessing spare capacity to look after her.
Yet... this silence made her feel terrified, and likewise made her feel as though she had been abandoned by this world.
Thinking of the scene she had witnessed earlier, she slowly propelled her wheelchair, edging herself closer to the kitchenware section. Straining with all her might, she stood up from the wheelchair and snatched a sharp fruit knife from the display.
"Creak~"
