Amid cries of alarm mingled with screams, more than a dozen bloodied heads shot into the sky, trailing crimson fountains.
The sudden slaughter left Cao Ying and Song Qing utterly shocked. Xiao Yan, meanwhile, remained perfectly calm as he hid among the crowd and crept toward the Soul Barrier. Yao Lao had already warned him, and naturally, he would not waste his energy telling these people...
More than a dozen dark figures, brimming with murderous intent, instantly killed dozens of people before continuing their slaughter...
In mere moments, gushing blood had soaked the clearing. The alchemists who had been so vigorous and arrogant moments before had all become souls beneath the blade...
Bang! Bang!
Dou Qi surged violently from Cao Ying and Song Qing, blocking every figure charging at them.
"These bastards were hiding in the crowd all along!"
Once Cao Ying was temporarily out of danger, her expression grew grave. She could not help looking at the composed Black-Clothed Man in midair. She had a persistent feeling that he might well be a Dou Zun expert...
In the clearing, some could no longer withstand the slaughter wrought by those dozen-odd figures. They hurriedly pulled Space Stones from their Storage Rings and crushed them. Space twisted around them, as though they would escape the Pill Realm in the very next instant...
"I told you, no one is leaving this place."

Invisible spatial fluctuations spread outward, forcibly freezing the space around those about to vanish from the Pill Realm. Then he clenched his hand. The frozen space abruptly compressed, crushing those alchemists into indistinct masses of flesh and blood...
"He's warping space! He really is a Dou Zun expert!"
