Doomsday Roulette

Yesterday there was something that delayed me, so today I’m making it up!

Centered around Ayang, the people at Cloud Summit quickly formed a defensive formation, all of them keeping a vigilant watch of their surroundings.

Although the shadow that had just attacked was merely a sneak attack, its speed was astonishing.

These individuals had witnessed the terrifying speed of the Holy Father, and even if this shadow was slightly inferior, it still felt formidable.

At least here, whether it was Xia Bai or Liang Chuyin, these two agile individuals were significantly slower compared to the shadow.

Everyone was fearful, afraid of being attacked again by this shadow that could kill even a seven-star evolver with a single strike.

Those with sharp senses were carefully scanning the area, hoping to catch sight of the shadow in order to prepare their defenses.

The entire area outside the Sanctuary was silent, but the tension in the atmosphere felt as if it were frozen.

Although Ayang's friend wasn’t a core member, as a seven-star evolver, he was among the top experts in this apocalypse.

The ability to kill him in a single blow might be barely possible for Ye Zhongming or the healthy Red Hair, but neither could do it so cleanly.

After all, it was a matter of directly breaking open the chest and extracting the heart while wearing layers of defensive equipment!

Such power sent chills down the spines of both Ye Zhongming and the Holy Maiden, let alone the others.

At the same time, everyone felt a sense of unease; what exactly was this shadow? No one had gotten a clear look at it as it had flashed by, and they hadn’t even caught its shape. Was it human or some kind of monster?

Many people instinctively glanced back at the position where the black hole had disappeared, their minds racing with a shocking idea… this shadow couldn’t possibly be that ninth-level life form. If it had come, it wouldn’t need to hide like this, so what was its relation to it?

“I can’t find it! I’ll use the holy light technique; you all keep an eye on the corners of the palace and behind the large corpses!”

The Holy Maiden whispered to Ye Zhongming and raised her right hand.

Without the Law Pearl, the Holy Maiden had other means. As the leader of the most powerful faction in this space, her abilities were no less than those of Ye Zhongming.

Upon hearing this, all members silently prepared themselves. If they discovered the shadow under the illumination of the holy light, they would strike without hesitation, aiming for a decisive blow!

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a scream echoed from within the Sanctuary, followed by Shengyuan’s anxious shout. Ye Zhongming and the others’ expressions changed drastically, realizing they had been lured.

The shadow had not continued to linger outside after its attack but had entered the Sanctuary.

The space-time gate was still there!

Under Ye Zhongming’s lead, the team immediately charged into the Sanctuary.

In just a few seconds, Ye Zhongming and the others arrived back at the location of the space-time gate, but they were met with the sight of two corpses on the ground, along with Liu Zhenghong, who was half-beast and unconscious, tightly protected by Shengyuan, and Le Da Yuan, who looked dazed.

After glancing at Sister Hong, Ye Zhongming clenched his teeth and quickly scanned the surroundings, but he found no trace of the shadow.

“Did you see it?”

“No, it was a black shadow, trying to break into the space-time gate, but it failed.” Shengyuan suppressed his voice, filled with rage.

Among the sacrificed individuals were one from Xia Bai Squad and one of Shengyuan’s trusted subordinates, a duo that complemented each other's defensive capabilities well.

But just moments ago, when everyone had relaxed, they were ambushed, and nobody had reacted until both had their throats cut.

To be precise, they had nearly been decapitated.

The rest of the group had now formed a complete defensive formation in front of the space-time gate, preventing the shadow that had tried to pass through but lost its chance due to Shengyuan and others’ interference.
