Chapter 2493 Interception
Simone wanted to join forces with Fang Heng, but the chaotic battlefield and the pervasive black fog made it impossible for him to spot Fang Heng's figure.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of him. The black fog was swirling around a phantom that materialized right in front of him.
Simone's expression changed dramatically. He raised his fist and launched a punch forward, the strike imbued with sharp, cutting energy.
"Bang!!!"
The black fog was blown apart by the punch, but the explosive force sent Simone staggering backward several steps. The bracelet on his wrist began to flicker with dark light.
"Stop."
With a whoosh, Fang Heng appeared in front of Simone, blocking the path of the black fog's attack. He nodded toward the figure hidden within the black fog and said, "He's my people."
A young figure gradually emerged from the black fog, glanced at Fang Heng, and then disappeared back into the mist without saying a word.
"Simone, are you alright?"
"Phew, I'm fine."
Simone breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the dense black fog ahead, his eyes filled with wariness, and asked quietly, "Mr. Fang, who are these people?"
"They are demonic seeds. Stay out of the way for now. I'll take you out of here later."
"Understood."
Simone, trusting Fang Heng implicitly, didn't ask further. He nodded and retreated to the edge of the wall, keeping a vigilant watch over his surroundings.
Fang Heng looked up and quickly assessed the battlefield. He identified his target and once again slipped into the thick black fog.
Xiao Wudao!
His strength was formidable!
It seemed he had cultivated a special defensive ability, and with his four subordinates tightly grouped around him, even Zhuang Yufei and the young demonic seed working together couldn't suppress them.
"Whoosh!!!"
Suddenly, Xiao Wudao sensed a killing intent approaching from behind, and his pupils contracted sharply.
"Bang!"
The Death God's scythe struck against Xiao Wudao's dark gold engraved dagger, producing a sharp metallic buzz.
Fang Heng's attack was blocked, and he immediately withdrew, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
Such an unusual power attribute!
He had used all his strength in the sneak attack.
Yet, unlike before, the Death God's scythe skill's damage had vanished before it even had a chance to fully manifest.
It must be related to Xiao Wudao!
Is it a special ability that absorbs impact force?
The full force of the attack was largely absorbed before it was even partially blocked by the dagger.
Only a small fraction of the impact was felt by Xiao Wudao.
Xiao Wudao glanced coldly at Fang Heng with his peripheral vision but said nothing. He continued to focus intently on dealing with the two demonic seeds.
Fang Heng was about to try another attack when he suddenly noticed something and turned his attention to the rear.
What?!
A powerful surge of energy rippled from behind!
He glanced toward the center of the altar and saw a middle-aged man standing there, his hands pressed firmly against the ground.
The dense black fog surged violently from a black altar in front of him, stimulated by his power.
The black fog gathered, causing the metallic floor to tremble slightly.
It appeared that the middle-aged man was emitting dark red runes due to some special power.
What was he doing?
Was he trying to break the demonic seed seal!?
This seemed different from what Bai Mu had described earlier.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
If the demonic seed seal was broken, he couldn't guarantee what would happen next.
One thing was certain: 'Jealousy' would definitely abandon its current task and rush back for reinforcement.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng disregarded Xiao Wudao and quickly moved toward the middle-aged man.
At this moment, the eternal tree domain had been largely cleared out by the demonic seed's power, revealing the original alloy metal floor.
Dense, intricate patterns had already appeared on the ground.
"Ka, ka, ka..."
The metal floor began to crack.
Under the influence of the external black fog's ripples, tiny metal fragments were gradually torn apart by two different forces and began to levitate in midair.
Fang Heng could sense an oppressive force rapidly ascending!
"Buzz! Buzz, buzz!!!"
In an instant, alarms blared throughout the entire altar hall.
...
In the upper area of the ritual hall, the alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire control domain.
The Overseers, upon hearing the alarm, immediately showed alarmed expressions.
"What's happening?"
"Sir, we've detected a significant increase in the demonic seed aura concentration!"
"We've detected damage to the outer seal. The metal ritual magic array's external seal has been compromised!"
"The damage to the outer seal has exceeded 10%, and the rate of demonic seed aura leakage has greatly increased."
"Someone is sabotaging the magic array!"
The Overseer with the purple fang mask furrowed his brows deeply and said sternly, "Activate alert mode! Immediately initiate all protective measures! End the sacrifice early! Everyone, follow me!"
"Yes, sir!"
As followers of the 'Jealousy' demonic seed, it was extremely dangerous to recklessly interact with other sealed demonic seeds, especially under heavy pollution.
But there was no time to consider that now!
If something went wrong down there, and the demonic seed of Jealousy held them accountable, they would all be doomed together.
...
In the lower hall, as the outer layer of alloy metal was gradually torn apart, dense black fog began to seep out from the ground!
The escaping black fog, mingling with the dark mist emanating from the jar, greatly enhanced the combat abilities of the demonic seeds present.
Xiao Wudao and his companions struggled to fend off Zhuang Yufei's attacks, realizing that the situation was worsening rapidly.
Who were these four suddenly appearing individuals?
Their power was terrifying!
Moreover, they could control this eerie black fog.
Fortunately, the alarm had already been raised, and the Overseers of the White Abyss Arena would soon arrive with reinforcements.
Xiao Wudao immediately ceased all other thoughts, focusing solely on defense, determined to hold out until the Overseers arrived.
"Ka, ka ka ka...!"
Suddenly, as Xiao Wudao was concentrating on defending against the corrosive black fog, he heard this sound, and his heart skipped a beat.
Not good!
Although they still had the strength to defend, the bracelets on their wrists had been pushed to their limits, and under the influence of the black fog, they had already started to show signs of damage. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Bang!!!"
The next moment, the bracelets worn by everyone on their wrists shattered explosively!
Whoosh!!!
Zhuang Yufei seized the moment, darting out of the black fog with a swift movement and lunging directly at the five individuals!
At the same time, Fang Heng approached the rapidly fracturing central magic array, directing his gaze toward the middle-aged man standing in the center of the Great Hall.
A vast amount of demonic seed aura was continuously seeping from the shattered outer seal, mixing with the black fog emanating from the jar in front of the middle-aged man. This mixture rapidly filled the entire Great Hall.
Fang Heng scrutinized the middle-aged man.
He had no idea which demonic seed this person was a vessel for.
Undoubtedly, his power was the strongest among everyone present, relying solely on his personal strength to forcefully break the seal.
So...
Was all of this part of Bai Mu's plan?
Fang Heng asked in a deep voice, "Where is Bai Mu?"
"Bai Mu?" Jing Ge'er frowned slightly upon hearing Fang Heng's question. He turned his head to look at Fang Heng, who was approaching him, and said coldly, "Are you asking about that coward? He didn't have the guts to come here."
