SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Amidst the ruins surrounding the restricted area.

Nearly a hundred gray-robed men who had been lying in ambush were now lying dead on the ground, dark red bloodstains meandering through the cracks in the ruins, and a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Only a few dozen men clad in black robes stood silently, exuding a chilling aura of menace.

The sound of hurried footsteps grew louder as Chen Yong rushed to a square-faced man: "Boss, the gray-robed men supporting the exit of the restricted area have all been wiped out!"

He paused, then added, "But just now, two figures in black robes suddenly darted past us. They were so fast we couldn't tell if they were friend or foe!"

"Is there anyone else?"

Zhao Shanhe's expression hardened slightly as he turned his gaze to the direction where flames were shooting into the sky deep within the forbidden zone. He sighed softly, "Just how many powerful figures are hidden in this forbidden zone... The kingdom's resources are far more terrifying than I expected."

"boom--!"

A series of booming sounds suddenly pierced the night sky, and the three of them looked into the darkness ahead.

"Damn it! I can't stand this kind of scheming old man! He's ridiculously strong, yet he resorts to dirty tricks from a distance!"

Gu Cang cursed angrily as earthen walls rose up one after another in front of him. He and Ning Mo blocked and retreated, rushing towards the outer perimeter.

The ruins behind them were shattered and scattered by arrows.

"He's all alone, and he's using a bow and arrow. If the three of us join forces, we might just be able to fight him!" Ning Mo said in a deep voice as he moved through the air.

"Three people? Who else?" Gu Cang was taken aback.

"Look ahead! Zhao Shanhe's men have arrived!" Ning Mo pointed into the distance.

Gu Cang followed his gaze, and dozens of figures in the distance gradually became clear. A sudden smile crept onto his lips: "Let's do it!"

"Damn it, this escape was so frustrating!"

Behind them, one black arrow after another came flying with pinpoint accuracy.

Xiao Li pressed on relentlessly, his tone calm yet laced with sarcasm: "These two rats do have some skill."

"They can't be so naive as to think they can escape from me, can they?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, drew his bow to its fullest extent, and five black arrows shot towards the two of them like streaks of light, instantly piercing through the earthen wall behind Gu Cang!

"Damn it!" Gu Cang roared, slamming his right palm into the ground!

A three-story-high earthen wall suddenly rose up, blocking the subsequent arrows.

His chest heaved violently, his eyes blazing with fury: "Three against one! Take him down!"

Endless gray mist suddenly erupted from Ning Mo's body, surging outwards like a tidal wave. He gripped the Wuji Staff tightly: "The moment this earthen wall is breached will be our time to counterattack!"

"I'll throw the first punch! You guys attack from the side!"

Zhao Shanhe's figure had landed between the two, his right fist slowly clenched, and the air around his body began to surge, clearly gathering strength.

"boom--!"

The massive earthen wall collapsed under the impact of several black arrows, raising clouds of dust.

Xiao Li looked at the billowing smoke and dust before him, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. Just as he was about to draw his bow, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his eyes.

"Power—seven times stronger!"

Zhao Shanhe's figure suddenly leaped out of the dust and shot towards Xiao Li like a cannonball, his right fist carrying the force of thunder, directly hitting his face!

"Overestimating yourself!" Xiao Li sneered, brandishing the Hidden Fiend Bow in his hand, which collided violently with the heavy fist—

With a loud "bang!", he was knocked back seven steps by the punch!

Xiao Li's pupils contracted sharply, filled with disbelief: This person's power...

Zhao Shanhe's pupils widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected that his opponent, who had taken his punch with seven times the force of his own, would only be forced back seven steps!

The next second, the soil beneath Xiao Li's feet suddenly burst forth, turning into sharp earth spikes that attacked him.

At the same time, Ning Mo's endless gray fog had engulfed Xiao Li like a tidal wave.

"Hahaha--"

Xiao Li suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, his voice filled with undisguised mockery: "This is hilarious! Who gave you the courage to turn around?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pitch-black Hidden Fiend Bow in his hand suddenly twisted and deformed!

The bow retracts, the bowstring transforms into a blade, instantly turning into a gleaming scimitar!

The aura of a seventh-level high-level cultivator suddenly erupted, and the surrounding gray mist was swept away into nothingness as if by a whirlwind.

The three of them were simultaneously shocked: the longbow in this man's hand was actually a sacred artifact!

"Power—seven times!" "Fog rises!" "Burial!"

Three loud shouts rang out almost simultaneously, and the three of them instantly unleashed their full power, launching another fierce attack on Xiao Li!

Xiao Li calmly parried with his black sword, sparks flying as the blades clashed. He said dismissively, "The new generation of Awakened Ones have only a smattering of skill."

"Unfortunately, none of you will survive in my hands!"

The sounds of collision suddenly became more frequent, and Xiao Li's swordplay shifted from defense to a fierce, storm-like attack, with each strike of the black blade accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn apart.

His tone was tinged with impatience: "I don't have time to waste with you. There's a big fish waiting over there."

"boom--!"

A fiery dragon suddenly attacked from the side, heading straight for Xiao Li's face.

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, swung his black blade horizontally, and the fire dragon was instantly cut in half, turning into a shower of sparks: "Neither of them could restrain that fire-elemental awakener? Useless!"

The next second, several fiery fireballs hurtled toward Xiao Li like meteors, and the heat wave from the explosion instantly engulfed the ruins, turning them into a sea of ​​fire!

Lin Mu's figure flashed before the three like a crimson meteor, and he said in a deep voice, "Go! I'll cover your retreat!"

The three men froze, and Ning Mo was about to speak when Lin Mu interrupted him sharply: "Ning Mo, this is an order!"

"Yes!" Ning Mo replied through gritted teeth.

Gu Cang stomped his foot hard, and together with Zhao Shanhe and Ning Mo, they transformed into three afterimages and rushed towards the exit of the restricted area!

"Want to leave? Dream on!"

An aged voice suddenly boomed out, and as the old man slammed his cane on the ground, several black lightning bolts tore through the air and struck the three people directly in the back!

Just as Lin Mu was about to turn around to provide support, three black arrows shot towards him like black meteors, their tips accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they tore through the air!

"Firestorm!"

Endless crimson flames erupted from Lin Mu's body in an instant, forming a dazzling fire shield around him, as bright as the sun!

The three arrows were burned to ashes the instant they pierced the fire shield, leaving not even ashes behind!

"An earthen dungeon!"

Gu Cang stomped heavily on the ground, and several earthen walls rose up, but they became thin due to his panting. The earthen walls were cracked by black lightning as soon as they were formed!

"Whoosh—!"

Dozens of green wings suddenly pierced through the air, precisely striking the black lightning that was attacking the three of them!

The moment the wings collided with the lightning, a blinding green light burst forth!

The next second, a figure in black robes suddenly appeared in front of them, with two pale green tail wings suddenly blooming on his back. Then, hundreds of green wings bombarded the old man like a rainstorm!

The old man frowned, his eyes grave: "Calamity? Judging from this aura... it's a top-tier SS-level calamity."

He suddenly slammed his cane into the ground, and black lightning surged wildly around him, colliding with the green wings. The aftershocks of the explosion swept outwards, cracking the ground!

Ning Mo's eyes narrowed, his voice wary: "Why are you helping us?"
