Lv Bai held the Yellow Talisman between his fingers, muttering incantations.

There was no choice; he had to act quickly.

The cooldown time for [Alpha Strike] was thirty seconds. If the Wutian Dog continued to attack, there wouldn’t be a chance for another [Alpha Strike] anytime soon.

Fortunately, the Wutian Dog seemed unprepared for Lv Bai’s skills, maintaining a cautious distance without launching an attack.

It hadn’t been injured.

In truth, the ability of [Alpha Strike] wasn’t powerful, as each attack was only as strong as a regular strike by the user.

It’s quite obvious that if one could control the manner of each attack, this ability wouldn’t just be at the Golden Level.

Lv Bai chose to keep this ability purely because of its momentary invincibility.

As the spellcasting neared its end, the Yellow Talisman floated in the air and emitted dazzling golden light.

The light was bright but not blinding to look at.

Even though the three strange creatures present didn’t know what Lv Bai would do next, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

The Horror Scarecrow, hidden under its hood, was the first to act.

Its branch-like arms extended swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they stretched beyond ten meters.

Once extended, the ends of the branch arms began to curve, gradually closing into a circle that encased the courtyard.

The Wutian Dog leaped gracefully onto one of the Horror Scarecrow’s branch arms, crouching with its tachi poised in front, ready to strike.

The white plastic bag-looking creature wobbled alongside, trying to disrupt Lv Bai’s actions.

"Master Lv, what do we do now?"

Facing three strange creatures attacking simultaneously, Captain Mao was so tense that his hair stood on end.

Thankfully, he hadn’t lost his mind and avoided looking directly at the wobbling creature, staying close to Lv Bai, forcing himself to watch the situation through his peripheral vision.

"What to do?"

Maintaining his spellcasting gesture, Lv Bai glanced sideways at Captain Mao, then turned his gaze back to the three strange creatures. "That’s a question for them to answer."

The ability of [Mao Mountain Daoist Technique] naturally included setting up arrays.

Strictly speaking, the arrays from the Mao Mountain sect are derived from talismans, whose energy source and foundation come from talismans. That’s why Lv Bai had previously tossed a Yellow Talisman into the room.

With the preliminary preparations complete, the rest was...

"Those who defy me shall die, who dares to obstruct! Blade into the Underworld, true yang by me! Urgent as the law commands!"

Lv Bai moved his spellcasting right hand in front of his chest, solemnly saying, "Activate the array!"

Responding to his spell, the Yellow Talisman that had been tossed into the room floated up, radiating golden light.

Instantly, strange energy gathered from the world, covering the entire courtyard.

Captain Mao and the strange creatures present could all feel a profound change occurring as Lv Bai’s words fell.

"All techniques use extreme yang to govern extreme yin, possessing the power to reach the earth. When great yin prospers, yang decays, but when great yang flourishes, detainees are cast into the Underworld, never to reincarnate."

"The array is named ’Sending Ghosts to the Underworld.’

Lv Bai’s lips curled into a barely noticeable arc.

He didn’t know whether the Underworld truly existed in this world, but since this ability could be used, it surely had effects.

The array activated, and the two Yellow Talismans, front and back, glowed brightly, firmly fixing the three strange creatures in place.

In terms of the game "Three Kingdoms Kill," you could simply understand that Lv Bai used a "Happiness Over Shu" card and was performing a suit judgment.

If yin overcomes yang, the array setter perishes. If yang overcomes yin, the guilty are cast into the Underworld, never to be reborn.

Although it seemed the risks were evenly balanced, there was much room for maneuver here.

Seeing the golden light hesitate slightly, Lv Bai decisively activated [Bursting Qi].

Captain Mao watched dumbfoundedly as the three strange creatures clawed futilely under the suppression of golden light, not even their screams could be heard.

Without any twists, the radiant golden light crushed the three strange creatures until they disappeared entirely.

"Is it... over?"

Even with the facts in plain sight, Captain Mao was still in disbelief.

Ever since he met Lv Bai, his understanding had been repeatedly shaken by his extraordinary feats.

By now, it was hard for him to believe Lv Bai was human.

"Of course not."

Lv Bai dusted off nonexistent dust from his clothes and turned to look at the fiery night sky outside the courtyard: "It’s obvious there’s still a lot to handle."

...

The moon was exceptionally bright tonight.

Feng Qian and Zhou Lei were running desperately on the road, with the containment center fading into the distance behind them.

After nightfall, the containment center was fraught with strange occurrences.

As Death Fighters, even though Lv Bai jokingly referred to them as his "first disciples," their first instinct in such a crisis was self-preservation.

Ignoring the cries for help along the way, they swiftly escaped the containment center.

However, less than a kilometer from the center, they both simultaneously felt a chilling sensation on their backs.

It was like the biting wind of a northern winter, causing their entire bodies to itch.

Feng Qian instinctively turned around, went slack-jawed at the dark figure clinging to Zhou Lei’s back.

Swallowing hard, he tentatively suggested, "Buddy, should we split up and run?"

Zhou Lei, instead of displeasure, let out a breath of relief: "I was thinking the same thing."

Upon closer listening, their voices seemed faintly trembling.

After a brief silence, Feng Qian’s face turned grim: "So there’s one on my back too...?"

Zhou Lei forced an expression more pitiful than crying, asking, "Is it a woman with a pale face, bleeding eyes, and long nails?"

Feng Qian nodded in a resigned manner.

"What do we do now?"

"Since we’re still alive, it seems they don’t want us to leave."

"Turn back?"

"Do we have another choice?"

...

[Current Points: 19, Current Ranking: 1/108]

[Current Points: 19, Current Ranking: 1/107]

The rapidly decreasing number of Death Fighters on the system interface indicated how dangerous the containment center had become.

No one could be sure how many strange creatures were currently lurking around the containment center.

Lv Bai and Captain Mao exited the courtyard to find chaos as far as the eye could see, making it difficult to know where to start in sorting out the situation.

Captain Mao furrowed his brows in frustration: "Master Lv, let’s head to the temporary command post first."
