Chapter: Chapter 93
“These things are so strange.” Bai Ling cut the rotten wooden wall in front of her in half with a sword, her heart filled with doubt.
When the fog began to diffuse, she had sensed something was wrong.
But when she looked up and wanted to tell Laticia about this anomaly, the girl had already been engulfed by the dense fog and disappeared.
Bai Ling panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. She believed that there wouldn’t be any major problems on Laticia’s side. A demon who could escape from her former self wouldn’t be so easily defeated.
Moreover, the target should be herself.
What Laticia could think of, Bai Ling could naturally think of. Moreover, she reached the conclusion much faster than Laticia.
After the fog appeared, Bai Ling lost contact with the outside world, which also indicated that this fog was not the work of the Hero Association or the United Government, otherwise, they would not have excluded her.
“Is it that councilor? But why would he have something like this?” Bai Ling pondered, resting her chin on her hand.
“Miss in the black clothes, if you can obediently hand over your briefcase, I might be able to spare your life.” Just as Bai Ling was thinking of a countermeasure, an old man’s figure suddenly appeared in the dense fog.
Bai Ling instinctively hid the briefcase behind her. This old man gave her a very strange feeling.
It was a bizarre feeling between life and death, making it impossible to fathom.
“Who are you?” Bai Ling narrowed her eyes, endless sword light brewing in her eyes, “The councilor’s helper?”
“Not a helper, just a partner,” the old man shook his head, “Your strength is not bad, but it’s far from enough to leave this city.”
“I’ve heard that many times,” Bai Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense. The strangeness of this old man made it impossible for her to believe even a single word from his mouth.
For enemies with whom there was no need for communication, Bai Ling always did only one thing.
Slash!
Brilliant starlight tore the old man’s body apart, but the old man’s voice still echoed in the space, “It seems we can’t make money peacefully, so let’s get to work.”
With a strange screech, creatures that looked peculiar one after another jumped out of the fog, their targets aimed directly at the box in Bai Ling’s hand.
The monsters were very diligent, but Bai Ling appeared very calm. Those monsters couldn’t get close to her body at all. Once a monster came within about five meters of her, a phantom long sword would suddenly appear and pin them to the ground.
But Bai Ling’s actions had little effect. Those monsters were not life at all, but rather seemed to be condensations of fog.
They couldn’t be killed.
Bai Ling had considered using her full strength to directly break through here, but she was still somewhat hesitant. She was afraid that this fog was not that strong.
If she wasn’t careful, her full-power attack might evaporate a city block in an instant.
This was the trouble of Bai Ling, this human-shaped nuclear bomb. Unless it was in the sparsely populated Great Wilderness, she would not dare to use her full strength.
Otherwise, when the post-disaster statistics came out, it would be very awkward if more people died by her hand than by the enemy’s.
Thus, Bai Ling began to run. She ran out of the alley and onto an ancient and unfamiliar street.
Dim yellow streetlights stood on both sides of the road, and ancient-looking buildings seemed to transport Bai Ling back a hundred years.
She looked around and found a manor not far away.
Then, it was the scene at the beginning.
She chopped off the wooden wall and entered the manor.
The courtyard here was spacious and suitable for fighting.
That’s what Bai Ling thought, and the old man hiding behind the fog naturally did too.
Countless bizarre creatures growled as they emerged from the fog, their cloudy eyes fixed on the calm Bai Ling, waiting for the commander’s order to pounce and devour their prey.
“Little girl, this is your last chance. Hand over the box, and you can at least keep your body intact.” The old man’s voice carried a hint of pride. In his eyes, even the strongest hero of the association would be in grave danger if surrounded by these monsters.
“Illusory things, they are not a threat.”
“Hmph, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!” The old man was extremely enraged by Bai Ling’s attitude. Both negotiations had ended in failure, and he knew for sure that Bai Ling would never surrender meekly.
If that’s the case, then let’s fight.
“Go!”
The monsters, under the order, fearlessly pounced towards Bai Ling. Their dense numbers could definitely be described as hell for those with trypophobia.
How many monsters were there?
Bai Ling was too lazy to count. Sometimes, quantity could lead to qualitative change, but these monsters, regardless of their quantity, were nothing more than slightly harder lumps of flour in front of her.
With a gentle pinch, they would be beaten back to their original form without any ability to resist.
“If this is your reliance, then I can only regret to tell you that it is far from enough.” A phantom sword adorned with twinkling stars appeared in Bai Ling’s right hand. Her gaze sharpened, and she swung a seemingly casual sword towards the group of monsters pressing towards her like a dark cloud.
The stars tore through the dark clouds, creating a galaxy in this world of fog.
Before the monsters could even let out a mournful cry, they were crushed into fragments by Bai Ling’s terrifyingly extreme attack.
“I’d like to see how many times you can unleash an attack like this.” The old man, hidden in the fog, twitched his eyes. Bai Ling’s effortless shattering of his attack was something he had never expected.
Beside him, several similarly dressed men were sweating profusely as they manipulated the fog to form monsters. Hearing the old man’s voice, one of them raised his head, “Elder Eagle, I feel we can’t outlast her.”
“Why can’t you outlast her? Aren’t you able to exert several times your strength here? Don’t you have inexhaustible energy?”
“We didn’t just lock up one person here. There are two others on the other side, and the vanguard sent by the Hero Association has also been locked up by us,” the speaker continued, “We need to pay attention to all three places, and it’s getting difficult to support this one.”
Elder Eagle began pacing back and forth, calculating in his mind how to resolve the current situation.
Just as he was hesitating, a faint female voice echoed in his ear, “Lure that little girl in white clothes to the bell tower.”
Huh? Why would she contact him proactively?
Elder Eagle’s heart filled with doubt. His interactions with her had only been limited to offering tributes and her releasing the mist.
This was the first such interaction he had experienced in decades.
“That is hope, a perfect body that is worthy of a god. I want you to lure her to the bell tower, immediately, now!”
