Chapter 845: Fighting Back into the Old District
Jian Changsheng didn't understand. He just wanted to defy the heavens and change his fate, to stop being so unlucky. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did he end up in such a state?
Chen Ling seemed to notice something and tilted his head slightly to look at his side... Jian Changsheng's lips were pressed tightly together, his hands were covered in blood, but he just silently lowered his head, saying nothing.
Chen Ling's brows knit tighter and tighter. Just as he was about to say something, reinforcements from the Tongtian Tower flew in from all directions.
Chen Ling raised [All Living Things Take Their Seats] and tapped it into the void again!
BANG—!
The aggressive pursuers were immediately pressed into chairs, falling to the ground one by one like rain. No matter how high their rank, they couldn't stir up the slightest ripple at this moment.
The three of them stood above the Tianxuan Domain, as if walking through an empty land;
"This..."
The fall of the Tongtian Tower reinforcements caused the indignant crowd to fall into silence once again... They had thought that Chen Ling and the others breaking out of the Old District was just a lucky escape, but only now did they realize that the three possessed heaven-defying power, and even the Tongtian Tower was helpless against them!
The surging fire of public anger was extinguished by overwhelming power. For a time, fear climbed back into everyone's hearts, and some of the timid ones had already started to tremble.
"...Alright, let's leave quickly."
Sun Bumian glanced at the gradually panicked crowd below. Even after being cursed at, he didn't have the slightest emotional change, holding his prayer beads in one hand, calm and composed.
Jian Changsheng was pulled back to reality by this sentence. He couldn't help but look back at the direction of the Tongtian Star Position, and after a long silence, he nodded with a somewhat decadent resignation:
"...Yeah."
Perhaps this was his fate.
The two took two steps forward, then suddenly seemed to realize something, simultaneously turning back to look at Chen Ling, who was still standing in place.
"Heart 6, what do you want to do?" Sun Bumian saw Chen Ling's eyes, keenly catching something in them, and couldn't help but speak.
The blood-stained bright red theatrical robe danced wildly in the wind, like a scarlet fire, eye-catching and hideous;
Chen Ling brushed his theatrical sleeves and spoke calmly:
"I suddenly realized one thing."
"What?"
"We are the Twilight Society, in the eyes of the world, the evil and wicked Twilight Society... Since that's the case, why are we running away so miserably?"
Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng were both stunned, seemingly not understanding what Chen Ling meant.
Chen Ling's slender fingers toyed with the [All Living Things Take Their Seats] token, his bright red theatrical robe flying, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc:
"Our performance time is still long... To leave like this would be a bit unfair to our 'audience'."
As his voice fell, he flicked his hand!
A bone-cleaving knife tore through the air, instantly piercing the skull of the person who had just cursed "do you even deserve to," and bright red blood sprayed out instantly, splashing the surrounding crowd!
After a brief moment of stagnation, several terrified screams resounded through the street!!
The residents of the Tianxuan Domain had grown up in an environment of safety and order since childhood. Where had they ever seen a scene of a head being blown off by a knife? They were scared out of their wits, frantically crowding and fleeing in the direction away from the three!
The original heat and cohesion were completely shattered after witnessing Chen Ling kill someone... These people, brainwashed by emotions and blinded, finally realized one thing:
The Twilight Society really does kill people.
"Heart 6!! You actually killed innocent civilians!!" A Tongtian Tower member pressed into a chair saw this and roared in anger.
"Isn't that exactly what the Twilight Society is supposed to be in your eyes?"
Chen Ling looked down at the street and smiled slightly, his blood-stained cheeks looking like a devil under this smile,
"From now on, whoever curses again, I will kill them... If everyone on a street curses, I will wash that street in blood. You can see for yourself if I have the ability to do so."
"You...!!"
The Tongtian Tower members widened their eyes, but were helpless.
But facts proved that after Chen Ling established his authority with one knife, no one dared to curse them again. Everyone fled frantically in terrified cries, and the scene was in total chaos.
The kind are bullied by others; sometimes, pressure and fear can solve many things...
Chen Ling didn't look at the chaotic crowd again, but turned and walked toward the Old District.
"Heart 6, where are you going?"
"Back."
"Back??"
Chen Ling looked back at Jian Changsheng and said faintly:
"Spade, do you still want that Tongtian Star Position or not?"
Jian Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, "I... of course I want it..."
"If you want it, I'll go grab it for you!"
Chen Ling held a gun in one hand and the token in the other, a cold, grim light flashing in his eyes, "The five major domains played so dirty... they have to pay a price."
[Audience Expectation +7]
[Current Expectation: 31%]
Jian Changsheng stared blankly at Chen Ling's retreating back, as if in a dream...
By the time Chen Ling had walked far away, he finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth, gripped the blood-colored longsword in his hand, and ran rapidly to Chen Ling's side!
"Why... why are you helping me?"
"I owe you," Chen Ling said faintly. "You gave up the Tongtian Star Position and chose to fight Kong Wang to save 'me,' so I naturally have to make up for this favor... Although you saved the wrong person, I've remembered this intention."
Jian Changsheng looked at Chen Ling's profile, his heart feeling incredibly complex.
"Diamond, are you coming?" Chen Ling looked back at Sun Bumian, who was still standing in place.
Sun Bumian looked at the two who were killing their way back, his expression somewhat helpless...
He pondered for a long time, then shook his head and stepped forward to follow,
"For the sake of us both being in the 6-series, I'll help you out... But keep the duration of the secret treasure under control, don't overplay it."
A theatrical robe, a trench coat, a Tang suit;
Stepping on the void, killing their way back to the Old District!
……
THUD—THUD—
Inside the Old District, the high-rank Divine Path practitioners who had been [Seated] were incredibly anxious.
They kept trying to break free from the constraints of the chairs, but no matter whether they used brute force or Divine Path, they couldn't move an inch, only able to make the chairs beneath them creak.
"It's useless. Unless the Play God Path power dissipating in the air is exhausted, it's almost impossible for anyone below a Demigod to break free."
The Tower Master of Tongtian seemed to have sensed the principle of this foundation secret treasure and shook his head helplessly.
The other domain representatives nearby also stopped their futile efforts, instead knitting their brows and staring straight at the direction where Chen Ling and the others had left.
"Then what should we do? Just let them escape like this??" a representative asked in a low voice.
The representatives remained silent.
One had to know that the public was currently indignant, and morale had reached its peak... If Chen Ling and the others ran away under the eyes of everyone, that would be a slap in the face of the five major domains!
