Chapter 2491 Warning
2491 Warning
The remaining elemental spheres, now reduced to less than a tenth of their original amount, were no longer a significant threat to Fang Heng.
He raised his hand with a decisive motion.
"Zshh!"
A blood screen materialized in front of him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
The remaining elemental spheres hit the blood screen with faint noises before being completely dissolved.
Fang Heng looked over at Yves from a distance, a hint of mockery curling at the corner of his mouth.
Was that all?
Yves panted heavily, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
His most powerful attack had been completely blocked by Fang Heng's various defensive measures. Now, he was left in a backlash state from using his high-tier skill.
This was bad!
From a distance, Fang Heng's figure flickered and vanished in an instant.
Yves was immediately struck by an overwhelming sense of danger.
The immense drain on his mental strength made Yves unable to see Fang Heng's movement speed clearly.
He felt death closing in on him rapidly!
"Xiao Wudao! Hurry up and help me!"
In a dire situation, Yves shouted desperately for Xiao Wudao's assistance.
"Whoosh!!!"
In the next moment, a dark streak flashed before Yves's eyes.
"Boom!!!"
Under the explosion of dark light, Yves felt a sudden blackout and was hit by a tremendous force, sending him uncontrollably flying backward.
Fang Heng didn't pursue; he just coldly watched as three middle-aged figures rushed to Yves's aid, quickly forming a defensive stance in front of him.
He sneered.
It seemed these people had realized they had no advantage in a one-on-one confrontation. Instead of attempting further attacks, they chose to regroup and adopt a defensive posture.
Yves, struggling to rise from the ground while clutching his aching chest, glared at Fang Heng with eyes full of fury.
"Fang Bai!"
Before coming here, he never imagined that things would evolve into this situation.
Fang Heng had made him pay an enormous price!
This included the lives of two SSS-level competitors!
And Norta.
At this moment, Norta had completely lost his mind, rampaging through the chaos.
"Once we get out, we'll make sure to blame Fang Bai for actively killing our people. We'll have the Overseers deal with him."
Yves whispered to Xiao Wudao, slowly retreating towards the artifact that triggered the alarm.
He was scared.
In this environment, he realized he was no match for Fang Heng.
Yves planned to press the alarm to terminate the ritual and have the Overseers come to stop Fang Heng!
Although Xiao Wudao and the other two didn't speak, their fear of Fang Heng was evident, and they allowed Yves to proceed to activate the alarm.
Fang Heng advanced step by step under the protection of vines and tree roots, his gaze as cold as ice. "What? Are you trying to protect him?"
Xiao Wudao looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Bai, I admit your strength is impressive. But do you really think you can defeat all of us on your own? If you destroy this sacrificial ritual, the Overseers won't let you off easily."
Fang Heng slightly narrowed his eyes, about to respond, when suddenly...
"Click! Rattle... Rattle..."
The heavy sound of iron chains dragging across the hall filled the air once more.
Time was up!
The second batch of sacrifices fell from above.
Unlike the previous time, the ground area was now completely enveloped by the Eternal Tree Realm. The cages, suspended by iron chains, crashed heavily onto the layers of roots that covered the ground.
"Click, click, click..."
The mechanical clasps beneath the chains opened.
The sacrifices imprisoned in the cages were released and landed on the root-covered ground.
Then, the chains once again lifted the cages upward.
But this time, it was different from the first.
The sacrifices, who should have been disoriented, gradually stood up from the ground one by one and quickly gathered together.
A black fog aura slowly emanated from their bodies.
Jing Ge'er surveyed the surroundings with a cold smile on his lips.
The source of the demonic seed's power!
Heh heh heh heh!
Right here!
He didn't expect to be able to sneak in so easily!
Under the thick black fog's cover, no one immediately noticed the abnormalities among the group, assuming they had been corrupted by the pollution they had encountered.
Zhuang Yufei, standing beside Jing Ge'er, sensed the fluctuations of the black fog and the pervasive influence of the Eternal Tree Realm in the fog. She furrowed her brows slightly and murmured, "The aura here is a bit off, and these trees..."
"Don't worry about it. Eliminate them. It will take some time for the higher-ups to notice the anomaly and trigger the alarm. Don't let them set off the warning prematurely."
"Understood! Leave it to me!"
Zhuang Yufei licked her lips, a fierce expression on her face, and immediately charged toward the two nearest competitors.
Jing Ge'er stood still and took out an old, black jar.
With a sharp hiss, a massive swirl of black fog began to pour out from the jar, driven by his mental strength.
At this moment, Fang Heng's attention had already been drawn to Zhuang Yufei and the others.
So it was her!?
Fang Heng didn't know Zhuang Yufei's name, but he had seen her before during the competition for the White Abyss Arena invitation letter.
How had she ended up here as a sacrificial offering?
And why did she now carry such a strong demonic seed aura, unlike before?
As Fang Heng pondered this, he saw several people in the hall quickly rushing towards Zhuang Yufei, attempting to control her.
A few S-rank combatants, who initially thought Zhuang Yufei was just an ordinary corrupted creature, aimed to subdue her. They intended to kill her, not realizing the true nature of the threat she posed.
"Boom!!!"
The black fog aura suddenly erupted from Zhuang Yufei.
The spreading black fog threw the three people who were closest to her into the air simultaneously.
At this moment, the demonic seed power that had been suppressed within Zhuang Yufei fully erupted.
Fang Heng's pupils constricted.
He suddenly realized.
A demonic seed!
She was actually a demonic seed!
At the same time, the remaining three demonic seed auras in the ritual domain exploded simultaneously!
In the hall, many people could no longer see clearly due to the black fog. However, the sudden surge of black fog aura caused their expressions to change instantly.
Something must have gone wrong!
"The situation has changed!"
Xiao Wudao realized that the sudden appearance of several sacrifices indicated something was clearly wrong. His expression shifted slightly, and he shouted, "These people are problematic! Go activate the alarm! Immediately stop the ritual!"
At this moment, Yves, who was closest to the alarm button, accelerated toward it to press the alarm. Suddenly, he saw a flash before his eyes. A shadow had appeared amidst the black fog, and a short old man stood there, blocking the alarm button with his body.
"Hehe, young people are always so eager."
The old man spoke as he raised his hand slightly.
"Whoosh!!!"
The surrounding black fog surged violently towards him, rapidly condensing into three massive black serpents. They lunged straight at Yves.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Yves's expression changed to one of alarm. He quickly gathered the bit of mental strength he had just recovered and condensed it into an elemental barrier to block in front of him.
