Night of Despair-Chapter 400 - 398 poses four

"It really is..." Long Qingzi, who was standing on a tree branch, also heard these voices and opened his mouth wanting to make a few sarcastic remarks. But he just couldn’t utter a word.

He was afraid that if he said one more word, he would be blown up casually like before.

He couldn’t afford to be distracted anymore; any further distraction and his self-consciousness might really turn into a wild beast without any reason, losing himself.

"Let’s go!" Ku Chan said coldly, holding his senior sister and rushing towards Tongning City at full speed.

He didn’t know what he was going to do, nor did he know where he was headed in the future. Right now, all he wanted was to find enough people to uncover the truth. To find out who killed his parents and who was responsible for his wife’s death!

Zuo Yunfeng was a suspect, but... he didn’t believe that one person alone could accomplish so many and such big things. There must be others within the Taoist Sect!

And the Seven Evil Alliance... Ghost Bell, one of the Seven Evils who opened the gate in the first place... was also someone he vowed to kill!

Chengshui Lake.

This suburban natural scenic lake was now right below the floating spot of the three-headed goddess statue of Black Disaster.

Within a several tens of kilometers radius around the entire small lake, not a single living thing was left.

Everything was completely submerged by the massive variety of monsters released by Black Disaster.

When Yu Hong arrived at the lakeside, the surroundings had already turned into a gloomy, dark fog.

Night enveloped the sky, and except for the absence of extreme cold, the environment was almost no different from what he had experienced in the Hope City World.

He stood by the lake, looking up at the floating three-headed goddess statue high above.

The huge, pale goddess statue with three heads and weird smiles was diving here and there as if hunting something.

Its hundred-meter-tall body, compared to some of the two hundred meters tall Black Giants below, was not conspicuous.

But the rings of dark clouds constantly shaking from its body made it impossible to ignore its presence.

Because the things spreading out from these dark clouds were highly toxic!

Yu Hong glanced at a few corpses on the ground next to him. The skin of the corpses was in a state of decay, with parts of the limbs already completely dissolving flesh and bones, emitting a faint hissing noise.

"Let’s give it a try..."

Yu Hong sighed. His goal was to come here to buy time, to prevent it from opening the gate again, not really to take this creature down.

So...

Hee hee hee hee!

At this moment, a group of shadowy figures discovered him and drifted rapidly towards his direction.

Yu Hong’s gaze turned cold. A thread of his purple Inner Strength silently split off and burst out, blinking into the midst of these shadows.

Pfft!!

In an instant, purple lightning exploded, immediately covering the area where the shadows were.

The purple light flashed for a second, then quickly dimmed.

The shadows all disappeared, leaving behind only piles of black ash on the ground.

And the commotion here also attracted the attention of the three-headed goddess statue in mid-air.

Its six eyes projected in this direction.

Wuuu!!!

The strange, piercing screams oppressed down from mid-air.

The ground shook, and the trees trembled.

A large number of Black Disaster Monsters around stirred, and the fog thickened, further reducing visibility.

Within the fog, only the silhouette of the three-headed goddess statue was incredibly clear. As if no matter how far the distance, one could see it clearly.

That overwhelmingly strong presence was as if it was directly projecting onto one’s retina.

Yu Hong took a step forward, his body lighting up with layers of purplish-red flame.

His hair rose without wind, shooting upward. Purple-red lines crawled up his face.

"Mommy... Mom, Mom..."

Suddenly, from behind in the fog.

A little girl in a white nightgown, holding a teddy bear and probably only about four or five years old, slowly took steps out of the fog, approaching Yu Hong.

The little girl was still alive, not a shadow, not a monster.

There was a clear and visible gash on her left face, deep enough to see the bone. Pale skin was covered with scars. Her eyes too were blank, as though she couldn’t see.

"Mom, Mom... Where are you?" The little girl tremblingly, cautiously called out.

"Daddy, did you find him? Mommy, come back..."

She stepped closer, and behind her in the fog, a Gremlin resembling creature stood over four meters tall, remaining hidden and motionless, wearing a strange smile, with long, sharp fingers pressing against the back of the little girl’s head, gently pushing her forward.

Yu Hong slightly turned his face, watching her.

Without any surprises, or any traps.

The little girl timidly walked up to him.

"Protect her, she’s so cute... so pitiful.... Can you bear to let her die here in such pain, torn apart and devoured by countless monsters?"

A strange, seductive voice whispered in his ear.

"..." Yu Hong remained silent, looking down at the little girl beside him.

"Long time no see, has the Black Disaster here evolved to this extent?"

He sighed slightly.

He reached out and gently stroked the little girl’s black hair.

A bit of silver light entered it, protecting her body, and at the same time, made sure she was truly alive.

"Is it the evolution after discovering human altruism and pity, targeting and designing it, or did someone consciously transform it into a higher-level Black Disaster?"

At this moment of imminent confrontation, taking a little girl along would greatly affect his ability to perform.

But if he ignored her, even with Spirit Light’s protection, the little girl would undoubtedly die, facing so many monsters around her.

"No matter what, what do you plan to do?" The whisper in the darkness, with a sinister pride, spoke softly.

Yu Hong remained silent. He turned his head again, only a dozen meters above the surface of the lake in front of him.

The three-headed goddess statue had already bent down, and its three huge faces approached this side, revealing a grim and pale, strange smile.

"Rest in peace." Yu Hong suddenly used force with his hand.

He closed his eyes.

A crisp snap.

The little girl stopped abruptly in his hand, blood slowly seeping from her mouth, nose, and eyes.

Boom!!

In an instant, the girl’s body split into pieces, blossoming open like a flower.

The entire trunk’s center, where crimson flesh and blood intertwined, lashed out with a mass of tentacle-like bloody tendrils.

The ends of the tentacles split into multiple bizarre small mouths, lunging to bite at Yu Hong.

Pfft!

As all the tendrils approached Yu Hong, they crashed directly into the purple Inner Strength flames before him, as if hitting bulletproof glass, causing massive self-collapses and explosions of the tendrils.

The little girl was indeed still alive, but she was no longer living like a normal person...

She had essentially become a by-product that depended on the monster to survive...

"You are... still as disgusting as ever..."

Yu Hong looked up, locking eyes with the three-headed goddess statue.

"Since I’ve promised the senior, let’s try and see... to what extent I can achieve..."

"Heeheeheehee~~~" The strange, neurotic cackle echoed everywhere.

All around, who knows how many Evil Shadows of the Black Disaster were lurking, waiting, trying to launch a fatal strike this way.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a flash of silver light streaked through Yu Hong’s pupils.

He felt the Spirit Light within him getting stronger.

"So, a Spirit Alliance Magician, gifted with Spirit Light, has also perished..." Besides actively retrieving it, Spirit Light would also fly back to its main body upon death.

He hadn’t retrieved it just now, so there was only one reason.

"Come."

He took a step forward, and the purple flames on his body surged upward, growing more violent.

"Come try and kill me!! You mongrel!!"

All at once, his body rapidly expanded, and countless purple threads mixed with silver Spirit Light emerged from his back, weaving together into a colossal half-body giant over ten meters tall.

Boom!!

Pillars of purple flames enveloped his entire body, turning him into a dazzling purple fireball.

The fireball blazed intensely, radiating splendid purple light, illuminating all approaching monsters nearby.

Hiss!!

He leaped into the sky, like a shooting star, and with a thunderous crash, charged towards the three-headed goddess statue.

The three-headed goddess statue also stretched out a huge hand, pressing down from the air towards this side.

The gigantic hand, like a seal, descended from the sky towards the earth.

One large and one small, the pallid enormous hand and the purple fireball, one-tenth of its size, collided with a bang.

Hiss!!

A ring of majestic, semi-transparent purplish-red flames exploded in the sky.

Immediately after.

Boom!!!

A tremendous sound erupted completely.

The purplish-red flames with their transparent explosive ripples covered a radius of over ten kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The fog dispersed, and the violent wind raged.

After the light in the sky dissipated, it seemed to solidify, not scattering at all, instead continuously emitting purplish-red light, illuminating the lakes and lands below.

That light, slightly warm and holy, seemed to carry a calming and relaxing purification ability. Yet it also held a subtly eerie gentleness, irresistibly enticing people to completely indulge in it.

Tongning City.

Quan He was maintaining the sealing Seal when she suddenly turned her head toward the direction of Night Pool at Black Disaster.

There, in the night sky, a point of purplish-red light suddenly illuminated.

She fell silent for a moment and then a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

"He went after all. What a stubborn child..." She turned her head toward her own side.

The Array that had sealed the full form of Cai Jing Taoist was still struggling intensely, twisting and warping.

Without careful attention, it might break free.

"If even the younger generation is so capable, I, as their senior, cannot be too far behind."

With one hand, she maintained the Seal and Array, and with the other, she grasped the Inheritance Dao Artifact Golden Jade Pendant.

Hiss.

She directly drew the edge of the Jade Pendant across her exposed neck below the collarbone.

An injury appeared at once, and fresh red blood slowly seeped out.

"It’s been many years since I last went all-out... I’m already of such an age. Sigh..." Quan He sighed softly, watching the Jade Pendant continuously absorbing her blood and starting to emit an increasingly blinding Golden Light.

At the same time. Her own complexion visibly paled.

Shoo shoo!

She let go of the Jade Pendant, her single hand quickly forming Seals.

"Sealing Spirit Domain."

As the Sealing began, the Golden Light released by the Jade Pendant faintly condensed into a huge Golden Lotus, enveloping her within.

"Pure Lotus Divine Incense!"

Quan He pushed the Seal forward.

In an instant, the huge Golden Lotus spun, emitting a subtle, clear sound like the clashing of gold and iron, flying towards the Array above.

Hiss!!

The moment it touched the Array, the Golden Lotus burst instantly, blossoming with an unparalleled, terrifying brilliance like the sun.

Hum!!

One ripple of light after another spread out, covering the entire battlefield of Tongning City, where countless golden immortals cranes appeared and disappeared in the sky, their clear cries resounding.

For a moment, in the sky, the two separate beams of light, golden and purple, those two dazzling radiances completely lit up the long-dimmed night.

Many Spirit Disaster Black Disaster Monsters below were pressed down by some force field, moving slow as if burdened by weights.

On the contrary, the Magicians and the resisting common people felt their energy rapidly replenished.

"It’s the Alliance Hierarch...!!"

"And Quan He Monarch!!"

The Spirit Alliance’s Magicians all raised their heads, looking in the direction of the two great lights, shocked beyond measure.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of powerful Dao Breath was needed to trigger such a terrifying and exaggerated Technique!?
