"Attack!"

The instant that dark figure appeared, Yang Chen had already shouted the order!

Yang Chen had keen senses, and he had been keeping a close watch on their surroundings. He could spot even the slightest disturbance.

Besides, the moment the figure appeared, it had radiated a terrifying killing intent!

At his words, the ability users from Number 98 instantly unleashed their spiritual energy in a burst of color.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

All kinds of abilities erupted in an instant, like fireworks.

Only then did the dark figures reveal their faces!

They were a group of creatures that looked just like zombies!

Their skin was wrinkled, like waves rippling across their faces.

A deathly aura seeped from their bodies, and a faint stench of corpses hung in the air.

"Zombies?"

Yang Chen furrowed his brow. He had seen zombies on television before, but creatures like those only existed on TV.

How could they appear in the real world?

And wasn't the relic something left behind by the previous era?

Before Yang Chen could think any further, a zombie radiating a powerful aura charged at him. It opened its foul-smelling mouth and lunged for him.

"Raaagh!"

A hoarse sound came from the zombie's mouth.

Yang Chen frowned slightly and punched.

"Get lost!"

Flames surged. Bursts of fire erupted from Yang Chen's fist and struck the zombie's body.

The zombie seemed to fear fire. As soon as the flames landed on its body, it screamed and frantically slapped at itself, trying to put them out.

Watching the zombie, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"They're afraid of fire! Anyone with a Flame Ability, attack with everything you've got!"

At his shout, the few ability users with Flame Ability in the group immediately gave it their all. Pillars of fire, like flaming dragons, coiled through the air and swept toward the zombies.

The results were immediate.

Whether they had been touched by the flames or not, the zombies' vacant eyes filled with a faint trace of fear as the waves of fire rolled over them.

"Awooo~"

One zombie, seemingly their leader, had a more expressive look in its eyes than the others. Suddenly, it let out a piercing shriek.

At the sound, the zombies began to retreat in an orderly fashion, then gradually disappeared into the forest.

Only then did the ability users from Number 98 relax a little.

Yang Chen, however, still didn't dare lower his guard. In a low voice, he said, "Stay alert! In a place like this, letting your guard down means you're not far from death!"

"What's the big deal? I don't believe—"

A contemptuous voice rang out. It was the man who had already shown his defiance toward Yang Chen earlier. But before he could finish, Yang Chen lifted him off the ground and stared at him coldly.

"I said, anyone who won't follow orders can leave!"

"Now get out!" Yang Chen casually flung the man away.

His furious shout startled the man.

But seeing how young Yang Chen was, the man gritted his teeth and stubbornly retorted, "You're so domineering. What kind of leader acts like that? I'm not staying!"

The man slowly got to his feet and brushed the dust off his clothes, hatred showing in his eyes.

Then he headed deeper into the forest.

Just then, one of the A-Class ability users leaned close to Yang Chen and said, "Captain, isn't this a little harsh? He's still one of Number 98's people."

Yang Chen glanced at him. He had memorized the man's name, since there were only two A-Class experts in the team.

The man was Zhang Shilei, the mid-stage one of the two A-Class ability users. The other was Kong Lingze!

A trace of sympathy showed in Zhang Shilei's eyes.

Yang Chen didn't blame Zhang Shilei. He merely said, "I don't need fools in my team!"

Yang Chen didn't offer much of an explanation, but everyone understood.

Yang Chen needed a team that would obey him completely!

At least while they were in the relic, they had to follow his orders without question!

In fact, the more people left, the happier he would be!

The fewer people there were, the fewer burdens Yang Chen had to carry, and the easier things would be.

Think about it: which would be easier, leading a group of people weaker than you or just a few people weaker than you?

The answer was obvious: the latter.

Some of those present were clever enough to understand Yang Chen's thinking. Still, they chose to stay by his side. After all, Yang Chen was an S-Class expert!

At least, that was what they believed.

And whether or not he was powerful, he was still stronger than them!

"Since no one else is leaving, let's keep moving!"

Yang Chen looked at the group coldly and gave the order.

"Yes!"

The group answered in unison.

Meanwhile, outside, above Hancheng,

Liu Feng and Chen Tianxin stood in silence, watching the enormous portal.

The two of them had already set up a barrier around Hancheng. The people inside couldn't see what was happening outside, and they had left those within to Wild Wolf and the others!

This was hardly the kind of matter that required the two of them to handle it personally!

"I wonder how things are going in there. Time waits for no one!"

Chen Tianxin sighed.

Liu Feng remained calm, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

"They're here!"

"Who's here?"

Chen Tianxin was still confused. He followed Liu Feng's gaze, but couldn't see a thing.

"People from Northern Europe and North America," Liu Feng said calmly.

A moment later, a phantom of a Six-Winged Angel suddenly appeared in the sky.

A gentle radiance spread through the air.

Chen Tianxin's expression turned grave.

"North America!"

On the other side stood a towering old man, holding a huge iron hammer. He swung it down toward the sky.

Bolts of apocalyptic Thunder came crashing down in an instant.

Arcs of lightning flickered in the old man's eyes. He looked like the Thunder God himself!

Liu Feng slowly rose into the air, and the Blade Case on his back sprang open.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color. Terrifying blade energy tore through the clouds, leaving a faint white line across the sky.

It looked as though the heavens and earth themselves would be split apart!

Liu Feng stared coldly in both directions and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, this is Huaxia!"

To be continued!
