Ding!

The shrill sound of the impact hurt Mose’s ear drums, but at that moment it was like the most heavenly sound in the world.
A soft golden vine blocked the chill!
The guards next to Mose suddenly reacted, and their expressions changed drastically, desperate to protect Mose.

Be careful!

Protect the Lord!



Suddenly a guard squinted, and yelled while pointing towards the air,
Look out!

Before he could finish speaking, the empty space rippled, and the surrounding landscape suddenly looked imaginary.
Mose’s bodyguards were experienced soldiers, so they did not hesitate to attack despite their fear. They immediately attacked.
Boom!
Dirt flew up from the force of the attacks from so many bodyguards, leaving a huge hole in the ground!
The guards surrounded Mose, their expressions tense. They didn’t manage to hit anything just now. Their nervousness was understandable; an invisible assassin, even if not the most powerful one, was undoubtedly the scariest! These guards were all fearsome on the battlefield, but dealing with such an eerie attack was clearly not their expertise.
Mose’s legs were still trembling from his lucky escape, but he looked very calm, and ordered strictly,
Don’t panic!

Mose’s composure quickly helped the guards focus on their mission, and they began searching for the assassin. There was nothing remarkable about their method; they merely attacked every inch of empty space, and if any movement was detected, the guards waiting by the side would immediately open fire.
The method was primitive but undoubtedly effective.
Mose’s heart settled slightly, his gaze trained on the battlefield involuntarily, but soon his expression darkened.


Even under the joint attack of the three armies he took much pains to form, The Dark Tribe had the advantage! There were not many people in the Dark Tribe, but the intensity of their attacks was overwhelming. In particular, Sol and Wesley were like two sharp arrows which plunged deep into Mose’s army with unstoppable force!
If the two of them were allowed to finish their attack, failure would await him!
Mose broke out in cold sweat. He could only pray that his prediction was correct! If he was wrong, he would be defeated, and everything he owned, including his life, would be forfeited.
As the wind blew, he felt the cold seep into his bones.
Just then, Sorren pointed to the battlefield and shouted out joyfully,
Look, my Lord!

Mose shivered, but his face lit up after looking in the direction Sorren was pointing towards.
Looking at his opponent, Wesley’s smile became even more devilish, but he was grim on the inside.

You’re Zara’s man? Hey, you are good!

Wesley had just been blocked by the man wearing the ghost-faced flower. It was the first time he had been blocked so far in the battle today!
Despite the chaos of the battlefield, Wesley did not flinch, and calmly sized up his opponent.


Indifference was the only word Wesley could use to describe his opponent, or rather that was the only trait he could find. He was neither severe, nor ostentatious, even when blocking Wesley’s way, he just stood there quietly.
Suddenly, he lost sight of his opponent.
His heart jumped, and he immediately reacted, shouting out,
Hey, hey, hey, are you not going to greet me first? What a rude guy!

A strong force came from the rose stem in his hand. He managed to let go of it in time, but his right arm felt numb.

How strong! Hey, hey, where are your weapons? I’m here for your precious weapons, don’t make me come in vain…

Wesley’s chatter did not affect Chen Mu at all. His movements were quick as lightning; after making a move, there would be a series of follow-up attacks! He was stronger and faster than before!
He did not bring those weapons. He understood that he could not use the weapons as well as the flexters of the House of a Hundred Depths, who have been immersing themselves in such arts for decades. The important thing was that his own weapons were strong enough.
Ten strands of energy shot out from the Power Gloves, so tiny they could not be seen by the naked eye. The sound of the strands of energy whistling through the air was sharp, wreaking havoc in this small space.
Wesley soon ran out of energy to continue his chatter. He was exhausted.
He never expected the thin energy strings to be so powerful. Caught off guard, he immediately was at a disadvantage. A feeling of numbness in the right hand caused him to be slower. Chen Mu grabbed at the opportunity, and shot his left shoulder.


Blood and flesh splattered everywhere!
The slender energy string’s attack was bold and powerful. Wesley’s left shoulder was a bloody mess.
Wesley pulled away from Chen Mu, panting. As if he could not feel that his shoulder was seriously injured, he still wore a smile on his face,
You are strong indeed, but you won’t be able to walk out of here alive with just these skills. Well, before you die, will you first tell me where you hid those weapons?

The sweat on his forehead, the smile on the corner of the mouth, and the bloody mess on his left shoulder, formed a very strange picture.
Chen Mu was indifferent.
So far, the opposition had not shown sufficient power to excite him. Maybe he had become accustomed to fighting with the mighty beasts at the Hundred Depths, so he found the battle boring.

It seems you won’t tell me. How disappointing.
Wesley shrugged, but his smile suddenly disappeared, and with a low voice, he said,
Then die!

As soon as he said this, the crimson rose petals floating beside him suddenly became colourless, instantly lost their moisture, withered with visible speed, and fell feebly from midair. Almost at the same time, a delicate crimson rose appeared on Wesley’s forehead, his skin turned an eerily dark red, and spots which looked like rose petals appeared all over his body.
The rose stem in his hands became pitch black, and shone like a metal.
Wesley suddenly disappeared.


Chen Mu was shocked to find that his speed became faster! He reacted quickly, joining his fingers together so that the ten thin strings at his fingertips joined, forming an energy net in front of him.
Ding, ding, ding!
A quick succession of strikes caused the energy net to shatter into an explosion of light rays!
Chen Mu snorted and withdrew quickly, but he was amazed. The speed of the attacks was astonishing, and the strength of each strike also surpassed his expectations. The energy net could not support the successive strong blows and was shattered by brute force.
This was the first time the strong strands of energy produced by the power gloves were shattered like this! What struck him most was the sudden surge in speed and power.
The opponent was like a different person. A strong sense of danger arose in Chen Mu’s heart.
He stared warily at the man whose aura was strange and dangerous. His opponent’s gaze was empty and his dark red skin made him look like a monster.
The rose stem in Wesley’s hand gave a slight quiver, and without chattering, Wesley rushed toward Chen Mu.
Chen Mu was blinded. A little bit of cold pierced through his eyebrows. The dark breath of death pierced his mind like a sword. All his muscles involuntarily stiffened!
Beneath the ghost-faced flower, Chen Mu’s expression changed drastically. His stiff muscles would make him pause momentarily. He was certain that this pause would lead to the hard rose stem piercing his eyebrows as if it was tofu!
Between life and death, the meter on Chen Mu’s hand suddenly activated.
An invisible wave enveloped Chen Mu.
The Six Star Card, Eternal Night, was deployed!
As if Wesley knew the power of the card, he withdrew the stem, and quickly teleported to the space behind Chen Mu.
He moved very quickly. His original plan was to circle behind Chen Mu, and his previous movements were only fakes.
But for Chen Mu, even a fraction of a second was enough! His body only lost control briefly after a sudden stimulus. But after absorbing the Green Mark, Chen Mu’s ability to control his body became so strong that a very short buffer allowed him to regain control of his body.
A chill prickled the back of his neck, and Chen Mu suddenly rushed forward in full force!
He needed to distance himself from his opponent!
Chen Mu very rarely faced opponents who could match him in both speed and power. Even in the dangerous Hundred Depths, the powerful beasts rarely beat him in both aspects. The explosive surge in his power and speed made Wesley’s brilliant skills even more dangerous and deadly.
The coldness at the back of his neck haunted him like maggots attached to the bone.
Without looking back, Chen Mu knew that the opponent was chasing him. With a burst of energy, he accelerated.
Two bolts of lightning flashed through the chaotic battlefield with dizzying speed. The flexsters from both sides were stunned.
Without Wesley, the Dark Tribe’s attack suddenly eased. The appearance of Chen Mu also boosted Mose’s army’s spirits, and the battle quickly entered a stalemate! The fighting between the two sides became fiercer. All of them knew that retreat was not an option.
Even among the man eat man world of the House of Hundred Depths, the bloodthirstiness of the Dark Tribe’s attacks was unusual.
With only the tips of his toes touching the ground, and changing directions with dizzying speed, Chen Mu weaved through the Dark Tribe like a loach. State Zero meant he had a head start every step of the way, and he didn’t touch anybody despite weaving through the crowd. To his surprise, Wesley followed him closely.
In such a complex environment, it was hard not to lose his tail. Furthermore, Chen Mu was constantly changing directions, but still he could not lose his tail.
It seemed Wesley had a skill similar to his State Zero.
Chen Mu frowned. The opponent was harder to lose than he thought. At the same time, he felt a strange excitement.
His whole body felt feverish. A spark lit up his indifferent eyes, like a hunter meeting the awaited prey.
His mind was locked on a card in the meter he was wearing.
The Eternal Night – a Six Star Card!
