An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 300 Black Death Prison

"No wonder this woman didn't come looking for me after I cleared the game; she's actually become a Yakuza!"

Chu Xiu frowned, but this would cause trouble.

You must know, this woman has fused with an ancient god's relic!

Even a murderer could experience a significant power surge under the enhancement of the extraterrestrial demon's power, so it was no surprise that the extraterrestrial demon would help Su Jinyu unleash the power of the ancient god's relic.

Under Chu Xiu's divine sense scan, he could clearly see Su Jinyu's body. She was only close to the King Rank, but the power of that ancient god's relic was as dazzling and obvious as the sun in the dark night. It made her look like a little girl holding an explosive device, and she could lose control of her power at any time!

But before that power went out of control, it endowed her with abilities as troublesome as a murderer, abilities that even heroic spirits were unwilling to approach.

Of course, if that were all, it would be wishful thinking to suppress so many heroic spirits in the arena.

But the problem is...

Chu Xiu focused his gaze on the distance, where some heroic spirits had already begun to silently retreat.

This was a premeditated ambush.

Whether it's the murderer or Su Jinyu, their abilities are enough to pose a threat to Heroic Spirits. This threat isn't like that of ordinary King-rank heroes who might harm a Heroic Spirit; if one is caught off guard, there's even a risk of immediate demise!
More importantly, the Yakuza clearly made ambushes, so how can we be sure they don't have any other trump cards up their sleeves?

In this situation, are these heroic spirits truly willing to fight here?
The answer is obviously no.

For these powerful beings, the vast majority are no longer bound by family ties or moral codes; they pursue only their own power and eternal interests. Upholding the rules in ordinary times is merely a way to ensure that there are taller individuals to hold up the sky when it collapses.

Not only Chu Xiu, but everyone else realized this as well. Jiang Lingfu immediately roared, "Everyone, launch a full-scale attack on the forbidden object immediately! This is an order from the Investigation Bureau! Think about the oath you made when you became Awakened. The government has helped you grow and protected you to your current strength. Are you going to back down when they need you?"

"If you run away now, the Investigation Bureau will definitely not let you off easily in the future. But if you help us destroy the forbidden object, it will be a great achievement and you will be richly rewarded!"

Jiang Lingfu's combination of kindness and severity showed that he had already made his best effort.

However, those who can become Heroic Spirits are all cunning and shrewd, so how could they possibly be fooled by his tricks?
First, a masked heroic spirit suddenly rushed out of the auction house, and like a signal flare, a large number of heroic spirits began to flee in all directions, especially those heroic spirits who were already concealing their identities!

These heroic spirits made up the majority; of the 27, 15 were hiding their identities, and of those 15, only 3 remained!
Faced with these fleeing heroic spirits, the members of the Yakuza did not stop them at all; their only goal was to protect that forbidden object.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of heroic spirits fled the area, immediately triggering a vicious cycle. Even when they had the numerical advantage, they couldn't defeat their opponents; now that half of them had fled, how could they possibly fight back?
Even the unmasked heroic spirits whose identities had been exposed began to retreat silently, moving away from the center of the battlefield. Although they did not flee immediately, they only provided remote support from a safe distance.

The number of heroic spirits who still possess the will to fight is less than ten.

This made Jiang Lingfu's face turn extremely ugly. He looked at Chu Xiu, who had not yet escaped, and said in a low voice, "These useless people can't be relied on. We can only rely on ourselves. These extreme cultivators caught us off guard. Reinforcements will be here soon. They won't last long, but we don't have time to wait for reinforcements. We must stop the forbidden object now. You protect Miaoyin, and I will go kill the extreme cultivators!"

He probably knew that Chu Xiu wouldn't really put in any effort, so he just asked him to protect Jiang Miaoyin.

Chu Xiu's expression flickered, his mind in turmoil. The situation was changing too rapidly, leaving him no way to judge the situation.

Running away immediately would be the safest option, but judging from the situation, the killer's side didn't actually have the upper hand. If they could successfully capture the killer, they would undoubtedly gain a considerable advantage. However, the dangerous nature of the killer and Su Jinyu made him wary; he didn't know what other tricks the killer had up his sleeve.
His expression shifted several times as Chu Xiu looked at the rapidly expanding giant crack in the sky. In the end, he let out a cold snort, pointed his hands forward, and instantly, hundreds of spears condensed from dark demonic energy appeared behind him! The next instant, endless spears shot out.

At the general rank, the power of demonic energy condensed into weapons was already enough to confront heroic spirits head-on. Now that it has been promoted to the king rank, with various enhancements, its power has more than doubled, and a large number of extreme path and murderous ghost spirit puppets were shot down.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingfu was overjoyed, and an extreme cold current surged around him. Zhao Hong followed suit and rushed towards the murderer.

With the combined efforts of all the heroic spirits, the Yakuza were being slaughtered and were on the verge of reaching the murderers!

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Among the heroic spirits following Jiang Lingfu, Zhao Hong suddenly changed the direction of his skill without warning, smashing it straight at Jiang Lingfu's back!
With a loud bang, Jiang Lingfu's armor shattered, and he was sent flying backward.

“Zhao Hong, you…” Jiang Lingfu turned around in disbelief.

A hint of apology flashed in the latter's eyes, but his movements did not stop at all. He turned around and pounced on another heroic spirit!

Chu Xiu's expression changed drastically, and his demonic energy surged again. Just as he was about to offer his assistance, a voice transmission suddenly rang in his ear: "Senior, be careful!"

Chu Xiu reacted quickly, forming a shield around himself with demonic energy without hesitation. The next instant, a long sword slammed heavily onto the shield! Instantly, the demonic energy burst outwards, severing the shield. However, it delayed the attack for a moment, allowing Chu Xiu to duck and dodge.

He turned his head and saw a heroic spirit with whom he had previously had a pleasant conversation!

The man gave Chu Xiu a sinister smile. Seeing that his first attack had missed, he didn't give Chu Xiu any time to catch his breath. His heavy sword came down like a storm, slashing down one after another!

Chu Xiu's expression darkened, and his demonic energy surged as he desperately resisted. At the same time, he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and was horrified to discover that among the less than ten heroic spirits who had not yet retreated, there were actually five people who were at the extreme level!
There are actually fewer traitors than heroic spirits who stayed behind to fight!

"Damn it, how thoroughly has it been infiltrated?" Chu Xiu cursed inwardly as he retreated hastily.

Upon seeing this, the remaining heroic spirits no longer hesitated and ran in all directions.

The murderer grinned maliciously, "Oh dear, I didn't expect I had so many comrades. Originally, I set up this move for the demigods, but seeing how you all look like stray dogs now, I don't need to hide it anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless bolts of pitch-black lightning surged out from his body and shot out in all directions.

"not good!"

Chu Xiu's expression changed drastically. Garuda Wings appeared behind him, and he unleashed his divine and demonic power without hesitation. In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot. Before Jiang Miaoyin could react, Chu Xiu scooped her up and, in a flash, rushed out of the auction house. The next moment, a terrifying scene unfolded. The reinforced concrete trading area, inscribed with numerous defensive arrays, was instantly sliced ​​into countless precise rhombuses, then collapsed under the force of gravity!

Those who didn't have time to escape were shredded into pieces by a dense barrage of slashes that covered almost every space. Then they were crushed by tons of reinforced concrete that fell from the sky. The mangled flesh and rocks were mixed together, like a bloody inferno. Only the murderer remained standing in the ruins, laughing wildly.

"This power! This is the power I've always been searching for!"

The killer's laughter made Chu Xiu's face turn extremely ugly. That terrifying slash, which covered an area of ​​over a hundred meters, would have left him decapitated if he had run even a little slower!
At this point, the threat of the killer was a secondary concern. With the continuous injection of forbidden substances, the crack in the sky above Pengcheng had expanded to an unbelievable length of over 100km!
What's even more chilling is that a thick black mist suddenly surged out of the crack. This black mist was different from Chu Xiu's demonic energy; it didn't have that domineering feeling. Instead, it resembled a highly poisonous substance. After this black mist overflowed from the crack, it quickly spread in all directions, forming a black dome in no time! And black mist continued to gush out continuously!

The black mist converged towards the edge of the crack, and after gathering at the edge, it began to fall, forming an inverted semi-circular dome in the air.

Chu Xiu had never seen such a sight before and had no idea what was happening, but at this moment he noticed that Jiang Miaoyin's body in his arms was trembling slightly.

This was not her previous feigned pitifulness, but a genuine fear from the bottom of her heart.

"Black Death Prison, this is Black Death Prison."

Jiang Miaoyin's face was pale, and her hands unconsciously gripped Chu Xiu's clothes.

"Senior, run! Activate the escape tactic! Otherwise, it will be too late!" Her voice was trembling!
Before Chu Xiu could reply, piercing alarms blared throughout Pengcheng. Almost every high-rise building in sight was equipped with upgraded defensive barrier generators on its rooftops, and simultaneously, the loudspeakers in the stairwells began broadcasting at maximum volume:
"Level 1 Emergency! All citizens are urged to proceed to the nearest evacuation facility immediately! Level 1 Emergency! All citizens are urged to proceed to the nearest evacuation facility immediately!"

The ever-flowing black fog almost covered half the sky, and coupled with the piercing alarm and the red flashing lights of the emergency lights, it looked like the end of the world.

Level 1 alert is the most critical level of crisis, meaning to take any belongings, drop everything you are doing, and immediately go to a safe place such as a parking lot, subway station, or air-raid shelter.

Tens of millions of residents in Shenzhen rushed out of their homes in a panic. When they saw the terrifying crack in the sky, they all showed expressions of extreme fear!

The battle just now was long for the awakened ones, but for ordinary people, less than five seconds had passed from the anomaly in the sky to the alarm sounding! This sudden change caused everyone to panic and flee hastily down the stairs.

Although similar drills had taken place many times, when faced with a crisis that felt like the end of the world, no one could remain rational. Trampling, falling, crying out, children being separated by the crowd calling for their mothers, and countless voices of fear and despair flooded into Chu Xiu's ears.

He looked up and saw specks of black light reappearing in the crack. The black light was rapidly enlarging and turned into demons with wings on their backs, wearing heavy black armor and holding weapons.

These demons had faces as grotesque as zombies, each with a single horn on their forehead. The horn had different rings, and the higher the number of rings, the stronger the demon's aura. Even the lowest-ranking demons wore fine equipment, and Chu Xiu could clearly see the patterns on their bodies with his superhuman perception.

This is definitely not one of those mindless, driven creatures from past invasions of the Abyss, but a well-trained army!

Chu Xiu's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, but instead of immediately escaping and entering the Corpse Demon or Hundred Ghost Furnace world as Jiang Miaoyin had suggested, he looked towards the edge of Pengcheng.

There, a large number of awakened beings were fleeing outwards, but as they approached the border, they fell from the sky as if they had hit an invisible barrier, were swept away by the black mist, and when they reappeared, they had turned into a pile of white bones.

"All Awakened Ones, listen up! This is now the scenario stipulated in the Awakening Obligation Law. No one may leave without authorization. Immediately upload your location information using your contact bracelets, obey government commands, and proceed to the designated locations to protect the people!"

Jiang Lingfu's loud shout rang in Chu Xiu's ears.

At this moment, there was a terrible wound on his chest. It was obvious that during the previous battle, he got too close to the killer and failed to dodge in time, resulting in his body being cut in half. Fortunately, he managed to reassemble his body thanks to his strong vitality.

This was a sound transmission made by barely maintaining his magical power, covering an area of ​​more than ten kilometers in radius.

Behind him stood the solemn-faced Divine Might Daoist, who was much more direct and decisive, transmitting his voice over a wide area: "Those who desert in the face of battle will be held accountable afterward."

Then it transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the center of Pengcheng.

Jiang Lingfu flew to Chu Xiu's side, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "The Jiang family will surely repay this life-saving grace in the future."

Then, looking at Jiang Miaoyin in Chu Xiu's arms, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he said, "Not bad, she didn't desert her post, at least she didn't disgrace our Jiang family."

He then looked at Chu Xiu and said, "Brother Qin, you grew up abroad, yet you did not flee alone in this time of crisis. I truly admire you. Our Chinese government has never allowed its own people to suffer losses. As long as we can get through this calamity, we will surely reward you handsomely. But now we need your help."

Chu Xiu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

This made Jiang Lingfu's admiration deepen, while Jiang Miaoyin lowered her head in shame. As a genius nurtured by the Jiang family with a lot of resources, although she managed to suppress her fear, her first reaction was still to escape. Chu Xiu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed throughout, and Jiang Miaoyin did not even sense the slightest sign that he was trying to break away.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Chu Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. If he could, he really wanted to escape this mess immediately.

However, he was worried that if Jiangcheng were invaded by the abyss again while he was away, or if something unexpected happened, his parents might be in danger. So, just like before, he used tourism as an excuse to bring his parents to Pengcheng.

After all, no one can be sure that someone will create another Abyss Rift in Jiangcheng, forcing them to take action.

But who could have imagined that the entire city of Pengcheng would fall into crisis! And this crisis came without warning, leaving him completely unprepared!
Now, with the help of the Blood Demon's clone, the parents have successfully escaped to a shelter. It is an underground shelter prepared in advance of nuclear war before the Abyss descends. The battle on the surface should not affect the parents, but if all the awakened ones responsible for protection are killed, those demons will be able to easily rush into the shelter.

Even if he were locked down, he could escape using the bugged item [Deep Dive Safety Rope]. After all, this item could pull people back from the abyss no matter what they encountered, so a small Black Death Prison was naturally no match for him.

However, this item was too precious for Chu Xiu to use lightly. Before that, he definitely needed to find a way to leave with his parents!
He asked intently, "Brother Jiang, what exactly is the Black Death Prison? What's the current situation?"

Jiang Lingfu's lips moved, and a voice transmission quickly entered Chu Xiu's ears: "The Black Death Prison is the domain power controlled by the extraterrestrial demons. Once it is formed, no one will be able to leave. Even if a Heavenly King level expert comes to support, it will be difficult to break through the Black Death Prison by brute force."

"In other words, Shenzhen will soon become an isolated island cut off from the world!"
