"Back off! We can't get entangled in a fight with these virtual beasts!"

"Maintain formation! Build crystal shields for defense, defense!"

Some people had their bodies severed by the sharp "whips," while the rest reacted quickly, forming a circle and spreading out crystal shields in front of them.

The remaining people threw the captured nets they had set up toward Tang Ming. These devices were made to control the actions of the virtual beasts, and now they came in handy.

Tang Ming flicked the silk threads in the space, and with a gentle pull, he shot into the air like a bullet, breaking through the encirclement in the blink of an eye. He instantly twisted his body and swung horizontally at an angle, narrowly avoiding the steel capture nets flying from all directions.

"Compared to those from yesterday, the people here are much weaker..."

Tang Ming glanced at the entire space, then grabbed with both hands. All the threads gathered from all directions with a sudden "whoosh" sound. Tang Ming dragged the threads behind him, wandering around.

His towering figure created a sharp whistling sound as Tang Ming plunged into the encirclement from the outside. The cultists couldn't even see his trajectory before being snapped in half by the red-dyed purple threads. Some cultists had their waists covered by a foreign substance, preventing them from being directly severed by Tang Ming's speed, but they were still in no small amount of pain.

"Ahem! Retreat quickly, retreat to the back hall! Have you reported to the captain?"

The stronger members of the cult shouted orders, their bodies mostly enveloped in crystals, having escaped the "pull and tug" just moments before.

The shattered, ash-covered crystals scattered on the ground, and the alien matter constantly wriggling and repairing its wounds on its body, showed that it was struggling terribly.

Ten people died in one wave, and the remaining people lost their morale as soon as they heard his voice. They scattered like birds and beasts, rushing to the back hall and exposing their backs to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming withdrew all the alien matter, shook his hands, and flicked the blood off his crystal armor onto the ground.

He stood in the center of the foyer, where the symbols of the New Human Cult were engraved on the floor. The grooves in the symbols were now filled with blood, turning them into crimson symbols.

Tang Ming aimed at the passageway ahead, the only route from the front hall to the back hall. He stomped his foot hard, instantly unleashing astonishing speed, like a knife slashing into the passageway, creating a deafening sonic boom.

When the young man and Hua Lingyou came out, they saw Tang Ming standing in the back hall, still in his sprinting posture.

Behind him were the cultists swarming to the back hall. Before they even entered the back hall, the "Void Beast" was already standing leisurely in front of the captain.

The young captain's gaze fell behind him, and his pupils contracted.

The horrified, jostling congregation members, all wearing expressions of despair, were suddenly reduced to pieces of flesh scattered on the ground.

The flesh and the alien matter were mixed together, and the alien matter was still tirelessly repairing the symbiotic limbs. The purple light kept flashing, but it was already too late.

The noise and commotion in the entire space suddenly disappeared, except for the blood flowing gently down the cracks in the floor.

The crystals scattered on the ground, having completely lost their life-sustaining energy, could no longer coexist and transformed into clusters of purple threads, sensing Tang Ming's location and flowing towards his retreating figure.

The crimson ground avoided Tang Ming's feet, while a continuous stream of void matter drifted into his crystal armor and merged with it.

Tang Ming felt the alien substance on his body become extremely hot again, having fused with ample void alien substance, and it seemed to be continuing to evolve.

He raised his head, looked at Hua Lingyou, and tilted his head slightly.

Hua Lingyou's face was icy cold. "Captain... is there no way to escape?"

The young captain swallowed hard, still reeling from the fact that his training team had been wiped out in an instant.

Fortunately, the "virtual beast" in front of them stopped in place and did not attack them.

"Captain!" Hua Lingyou raised her voice to remind him.

"It's not a dead end, there's an escape route in my room!" the young captain said, his voice trembling slightly as he regained his composure.

"Why don't you try to accept the challenge? Let's do it together..." Hua Lingyou said coldly.

"How could this be! In this situation, you dare to turn back instead of running away! Don't go to your death, come with me!" The man suddenly grabbed Hua Lingyou's hand and ran back into the office.

Hua Lingyou revealed a cryptic expression, did not struggle, and followed the young captain inside.

Seeing the other party move, Tang Ming shook his head and began to act according to the script.

The moment the captain closed the door, Tang Ming's fist slammed into it, but it didn't break through as easily as he had expected.

The office truly lived up to its reputation as the captain's last line of defense in the base. Not only was the door protected by magic, but the device above his head spewed out raging flames that enveloped Tang Ming, and the door itself emitted a powerful impact that repelled him.

"Are you done yet? I can't hold on any longer."

Hua Lingyou stood behind the door and withdrew her hand. Her sharp, knife-like forelimbs transformed back into a man's hand. She turned her head, but the captain did not notice the change in her body.

"alright!"

The back wall of the office cracked open, revealing a cableway. The two quickly jumped onto the track and sped down into the depths.

Clang! Crack! Clang! Crack! Clang...

"Where are we going?! Why aren't we going up?" Hua Lingyou shouted, the noise of the sliding rails almost drowning out their conversation.

"We're all heretical cults, how could we possibly build escape tunnels into the city! Wouldn't that just be sending food to the Exorcism Department?" the captain roared back.

"Where is this?!"

"What else could it be! There's a miniature bubble-breaking device below, it only lets in and doesn't let out! Once we escape the earthquake zone, we'll be safe!"

"Can't that virtual beast get in up there?"

"I don't know! Let's leave it to fate!" The captain's voice trembled as he nervously looked back. The cableway stretched straight into the distance, and the entrance was clearly visible.

The next second, the small sliver of light at the entrance was blocked by a figure.

Tang Ming easily broke through the defenses, stood at the starting point of the track, and looked down.

"However, I'm actually afraid of heights..."

Tang Ming did not give up. He closed his eyes and leaped down like a bullet.

"It...it's coming down! It'll be here soon!" Hua Lingyou shouted in feigned panic.

She disregarded whether "Captain Jia" was composed or not, and kept provoking the young captain's already tense nerves with her words.

"Almost there, almost there, almost there..."

The captain had already transformed, his entire body enveloped in an alien substance, his powerful aura readily apparent. He was unaware that "Captain Jia" beside him was completely at ease, making no use of his crystal armor for protection.

Hua Lingyou pursed her lips. She didn't expect this captain to be so timid. Judging from his aura, although he might not be able to defeat Tang Ming, he should be able to hold his own for a while.

It can only be said that the New Humanity Cult branch in Fangzhou City is just as bad as the Anti-Demon Department in terms of combat skills... lacking any real combat ability.

This city is so peaceful.

They quickly reached the bottom on the track car. At the end of the track was a black void surrounded by a ring of sophisticated metal devices that formed the central bubble. An unknown aura of the void, like an invisible hand, reached out from the bubble and lured the two of them.

This device is truly impressive, capable of constructing a continuously expanding burst bubble...

Hua Lingyou made a mental assessment, and the young captain jumped without hesitation. Before jumping, she looked at the approaching Void Beast No. 6 overhead and transmitted her voice through the alien medium:

"Tang Ming, hurry up and catch up! The Void Tremor Zone is chaotic and disordered; once inside, we must finish this quickly!"

After saying that, she jumped down as well.

Upon hearing Hua Lingyou's voice, Tang Ming opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed the wall, using the reaction force to plunge straight into the cracked bubble.
