Before Qing Huanxiang could say another word, swift, ghostlike shadows were already right before them!
A deafening blast exploded in front of them!
"Bang!"
Terrifying shockwaves spread outward, even slightly warping space itself!
Fortunately, the Giant Turtle raised its golden back to block the attack and shield Qing Huanxiang behind him, preventing even greater losses.
Even so, Gui Shoutian, transformed into the Giant Turtle, was not having an easy time. His brow twitched repeatedly, and he seemed to have suffered injuries. Even his defenses could not easily withstand the self-destruction of these terrifying shadows!
In that urgent moment.
Qing Huanxiang hurriedly mobilized all the demonic power in his body, doing his utmost to fiercely attack the incoming shadows while shielding the old turtle as they retreated without pause toward Shadow Island!
At the sight of this scene, every guard brigade broke out in a cold sweat!
"Hiss..."
"These shadows again!"
"Who would have thought that after their last ambush failed, they would return with even more numbers than before!"
"Though these shadows are numerous, their auras do not seem as terrifying as those previous enemies. Even so, Qing Huanxiang and Gui Shoutian alone cannot hold them back!"
"The only plan now is for all our divisions to join forces!"
"Each division should leave behind part of its strength to guard its own territory. Everyone else, head to the urban-rural fringe at once! We must stop every last one of these invading shadows!"
Urgent voice transmissions rang continuously through their work badges, while streams of light darted nonstop through the sky above the city.
Within only a few breaths.
The retreating Qing Huanxiang and Gui Shoutian had led their people back to the urban-rural fringe, standing guard on either side of the highway entrance with grave expressions.
Void Ripples spread continuously
