252 Interlocking Links, Unable to Speak (2)

"Murder!"

"Ah!"

"Run!"

While these onlookers were simply enjoying the spectacle, they never expected something like this to happen.

Although the verbal dispute that happened before was out of place with this festive holiday, the content revealed in the argument was so explosive and eye-catching that they didn't think much of it and didn't even consider the possibility of a revenge killing. They were certainly not prepared for it.

Now, seeing this young man whose name was unknown, but who seemed to share the same name as the middle-aged man opposite him (otherwise he wouldn't have said "You're also called Yu Xiaogang"), they guessed that he was Yu Xiaogang. Holding a knife, his two Hundred-Year Soul Ring gleamed, and like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed towards the panicked middle-aged man opposite him with a strong wind. Screams immediately erupted.

Although this young man's target was not them.

The Bone Chopping Knife he held wasn't aimed at them.

Soul Power surged, and the target of the Soul Skill was not them.

But just like a group of unarmed humans encountering a tiger in the wild, even if some casualties could kill the tiger and allow some people to survive, the instinctive fear still urges these people to embark on a desperate escape, even if this would mean losing their last hope of survival.

Yu Xiaogang was also caught up in the sudden screams and the ensuing chaos around him, which distracted him. As a result, he was a beat slower in summoning his Martial Soul. Therefore, at this critical juncture that would determine his life, he no longer had any time to make amends.

The two men were less than five meters apart before they started fighting.

This five-meter distance means that even a Soul Master Soul Master with only one Soul Ring can achieve close-range combat within a second.

But this one second was wasted by Yu Xiaogang.

He could only watch as the crude Bone Chopping Knife fell.

Under his gaze, it slid inch by inch across the space, descending extremely slowly toward his head, while his body seemed to have lost all feeling. Amidst the chaotic screams and nauseating noise, he moved as slowly as a snail, the threat and fear of impending death magnified infinitely by time.

"Clang!"

"Sizzle!"

"Boom!"

Three short, consecutive sounds rang out at once.

The first sound rang out as the hard, thick red dragon scales came into contact with the rough Bone Chopping Knife. Upon closer inspection, beneath the red dragon scales was an arm that had already undergone Dragon Transformation. A string of dazzling sparks exploded briefly on the cross-section where the dragon scales and the Bone Chopping Knife made contact, like summer fireworks, and then crossed over each other under the impact of inertia!

The second sound rang out, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. A handful of blood sprayed irregularly around like a water gun that had been opened, freezing Yu Xiaogang's expression for a moment. A long, narrow wound appeared on his chest and abdomen, and his internal organs, which were in contact with the air, could be vaguely seen!

The third sound rang out, and Long Yan rose from the ground like a laser cannon fired into the sky, spewing out a red ray hundreds of meters long. It melted all the buildings it encountered in its path as it swooped down into the sky into ashes. The young man who was at the center of the attack range, along with the Bone Chopping Knife in his hand, was also instantly reduced to ashes. Only the smell of burning in the air proved that someone had just died!

Everything happened in a single second!

Before the onlookers could even run away, before the screams had even subsided, and before the results even spread, the final outcome was already decided!

Indeed, someone died.

However, it wasn't the person they imagined.

And it wasn't until then.

Amidst the still-screaming screams, and amidst the fleeing onlookers, Yu Xiaogang, who had narrowly escaped death, regained consciousness. Her face ashen, she knelt on the ground, instinctively clutching the gash between her chest and abdomen. She didn't even have the strength to scream, collapsing to her knees in agony, her body hunched over, utterly disregarding her appearance.

A moderate amount of pain can make people scream.

Excessive pain can only cause someone to faint.

He was stabbed in the chest and abdomen, causing massive bleeding. Although his bones were not broken and he did not die on the spot, the intense pain still overwhelmed Yu Xiaogang 'Yu Xiaogang brain, leaving it blank.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang resembled a fish on the verge of death.

He opened his mouth and tried to breathe.

But under the intense pain, he was inhaling less air than he was exhaling. The phrase "more air out than in in" was perfectly suited to Yu Xiaogang at that moment.

"So..." The Faceless Men, disguised as Liu Erlong, reached out with a worried expression, hiding a wisp of black energy behind a crimson flame, and pressed it hard on Yu Xiaogang's wound with feigned anxiety. "Xiaogang, you must grit your teeth and hold on, I'll stop the bleeding first!"

Yu Xiaogang, whose mind was blank from the pain, instinctively nodded. His combat experience from traveling the world with Liu Erlong and Flender was rekindled under the threat of death, causing him to clench his teeth and let Liu Erlong treat his wounds.

However, this Liu Erlong is not the same as that Liu Erlong.

At this point, Yu Xiaogang had forgotten that if it were the real Liu Erlong, with the resources of the Blue Tyrant Academy, even without the standard healing spray mixture or the standard quick-acting hemostatic bandages, since these all require credits to purchase, the dean Liu Erlong would not be unaware of healing techniques, which almost everyone possesses.

As a result, Yu Xiaogang was forced to experience torture.

Amidst the chilling sizzling sound of grilled meat.

Amidst the nauseating smell of roasted meat.

Amidst terrifying screams.

One by one, charred wounds were forcibly pinched together on Yu Xiaogang's chest and abdomen. The stench of burning flesh effectively masked the fishy smell of Yu Xiaogang's incontinence. The overflowing blood was Yu Xiaogang's last shred of dignity, covering his wet trousers.

Even now, the screaming and fleeing crowds continue to spread panic, buzzing and scurrying about like a swarm of startled flies, completely disoriented. This frightens more and more passersby who are not just bystanders, and under the influence of the "herd mentality," they indiscriminately join the fleeing ranks. What started as a stream of people has grown into a sea of people, and the situation is now out of control.

Bibidong, who hadn't arrived at the scene yet, frowned slightly.

At this moment, she had already taken off her Pope robes and put on the clothes she wore when she and Yu Xiaogang released lanterns in Yelin City. She no longer held the Pope's Scepter in her hand. Although she dared not hope for a sincere relationship, after all, she was already a mother and carried the future of more than 70,000 Soul Master of the Spirit Hall on her shoulders. Reality did not allow her to act recklessly, and even stepping down was impossible. But after achieving fame and success, going to see her former white moonlight was probably a thought that everyone had.

It doesn't necessarily have to have a story with your white moonlight.

I just want to meet up and chat about the past few years.

Even if it might alert the child.

But now that she is the nominal master of this continent, does she not even have the right to see her beloved?

Even if she hadn't gone too far, who could control her?

So, after so many years, when they met again, she didn't want her favorite holiday to be ruined like this, as if a natural disaster had struck, with panic everywhere and no longer the atmosphere of yesteryear.

Bibidong sighed.

It soared into the air and stood in the air.

The sound, amplified by the Soul Power, pierced through clouds and Lie Shi.

It silenced all the noise in Yelin City.

"I am Bibidong, Pope of the Spirit Hall." Bibidong first stated her identity, proving her authority to command and coordinate, and then, in a firm tone, ordered the now quiet Yelin City, "Now, evacuate quickly and orderly through all exits!"
