The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

The jet-black claws tore through the air.

The extremely cold yin energy instantly froze the stray hairs on Shen Nianqing's forehead.

It was only half a foot away from her throat.

Lin Ruolan let out a desperate scream.

Shen Xingzhou lunged forward like a madman.

That's too late.

The human body moves as slowly as a still image in the face of an A+ level of the bizarre.

Just as the sharp claws were about to touch Shen Nianqing's skin...

The old, faded red string on her left wrist suddenly gleamed.

At first, it was just a faint, firefly-like blue.

The next instant, the light intensified.

The blinding blue-white light instantly engulfed the entire living room.

Tiny golden runes peeled off the red rope.

It hovered around Shen Nianqing, transforming into a rapidly spinning halo of runes.

The eerie claws slammed heavily onto the halo.

"boom!"

The strange claw that was powerful enough to crush an armored vehicle was instantly vaporized in half.

"roar!"

It let out a piercingly shrill scream, and its massive body was sent flying backward.

It was afraid.

For the first time, fear appeared in those scarlet eyes.

It struggled to its feet, then transformed into a cloud of black mist and tried to escape.

"Can you escape?"

A voice.

It rang out in the living room.

It appeared out of thin air without any amplification equipment.

It carries an ultimate sense of majesty, as if it were perched high in the clouds, looking down upon ants.

Chen Xiaoyu sat on the stairs, her whole body trembling.

It's her brother's voice!

Shen Nianqing's body, which had been extremely tense, miraculously went limp the moment she heard that voice.

Tears welled up in my eyes without warning.

The rune aura stopped rotating.

All the golden runes shot up into the sky, disappearing into the ceiling and soaring into the clouds.

The night sky over the western suburbs of Jiangcheng has changed.

The night sky, which was originally covered with thick clouds, was suddenly torn open with a huge crack.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar shook the entire city.

A bolt of pure white lightning, as thick as a water bucket, descended straight down from the heavens with overwhelming divine might.

The roof of the villa was breached.

It broke through the second-floor floor slab.

It struck precisely at the black mist that was preparing to flee.

A white light filled everyone's field of vision.

The light lasted for a full three seconds.

When the light fades.

The living room fell silent again.

The three-meter-tall A+ grade monster has disappeared.

Only a small clump of grayish-white powder remained on the spot.

The black ice covering the living room melted instantly, turning into puddles of foul-smelling water.

"Clatter".

Shen Xingzhou's legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the floor, panting heavily.

Lin Ruolan hugged Shen Nianqing tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shen Zhengting leaned against the wall, the golf club in his hand fell to the ground, and his hands trembled like leaves.

Chen Xiaoyu and Lin Keke hugged each other, crying so hard they couldn't make a sound.

survived.

The monster is dead.

……

At the same time.

The outer road of the Yunding Villa District.

"squeak!"

A military off-road vehicle was parked across the middle of the road, its tires leaving two long black tracks on the asphalt.

The car door was kicked open.

Qin Yuan and Zhao Yue jumped off the carriage at the same time.

The two were fully armed, with their tactical vests covered in anti-evil grenades and specially made cold weapons on their backs.

"arrive!"

Qin Yuan glanced at the tactical terminal.

On the screen, a huge red dot, representing something eerie, had completely covered the location of the Shen family villa.

Zhao Yue looked up and gazed ahead.

The Shen family villa was completely enveloped by thick black fog.

Even the light from the streetlights can't get through.

A nauseating, malevolent aura could be smelled from hundreds of meters away.

"It's too late."

Zhao Yue gritted his teeth, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

"The black mist has sealed off the area, and the monsters have begun feeding. The Shen family... I reckon there are no survivors."

Qin Yuan drew the alloy battle sword from his back, and a dark red supernatural light shone on the blade.

"Kill them even if there are no survivors!"

Qin Yuan's eyes were bloodshot.

"Even if it costs me my life, I'll keep it here today!"

The two exchanged a glance and unleashed their powers to the fullest extent.

They are preparing to charge.

Sudden.

A chilling pressure emanated from above.

The two looked up at the same time.

The clouds above the Shen family villa appeared to be torn apart by an invisible hand.

Blinding white lightning bolts leaped wildly through the clouds.

"This is……"

Qin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

Before he could finish speaking...

"boom!"

A thick, white bolt of lightning, carrying the force to tear everything apart, crashed into the thick black mist.

The black fog, like snow melted under the scorching sun, vanished instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The terrifying, malevolent aura that enveloped the entire outskirts of the western city couldn't withstand even a second of this bolt of lightning.

Qin Yuan and Zhao Yue stood frozen in place, their heads still raised.

A full ten seconds passed.

Zhao Yue swallowed hard.

"Old Qin..."

Did you see that?

Qin Yuan's hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably.

"I saw it."

"Was that natural thunder?"

"fart!"

Qin Yuan swore.

"Natural lightning is never pure white! And it never possesses such a strong power to ward off evil!"

He stared intently at the night sky, which had returned to calm.

"That's Lei Fa."

"Taoist thunder magic."

Zhao Yue gasped.

"Thunder magic? You must be joking. Even the sect leader of Longhu Mountain can only activate a lightning-summoning talisman as thin as a finger."

"That lightning bolt just now..."

Zhao Yue gestured.

"That bucket is that big! Is it even possible for a human to release that much water?"

"Go and see for yourself."

Qin Yuan sheathed his sword and strode towards the villa.

The two kicked open the dilapidated living room door and rushed inside.

The living room was a complete mess.

Furniture shattered, walls cracked.

The Shen family huddled together in a corner, still shaken, but... they were all alive.

Qin Yuan was stunned.

He raised the tactical terminal on his wrist and activated the energy detection.

The value displayed on the screen is 0.

Clean and tidy.

There wasn't even a trace of yin energy left.

"Isn't that weird?"

Zhao Yue blurted it out subconsciously.

Shen Xingzhou got up from the floor and pointed to the center of the living room.

Qin Yuan and Zhao Yue looked in that direction.

There was only a small amount of grayish-white powder there.

Qin Yuan walked over, squatted down, and picked up a bit of powder with his tactical gloved fingers.

Extremely pure remnants of Yin energy.

The product of being instantly incinerated by extreme high temperature and masculine force.

A+ level of bizarre.

It is a terrifying existence that makes Tian Shu feel as if it is facing a formidable enemy, and prepares to sacrifice human lives to fill the void.

Is this all the ash left?

Qin Yuan stood up and scanned the entire room.

The light of the Xuan Tian Demon-Subduing Stele dimmed, and the Seven Star Dharma Lamp fell onto the coffee table.

These two sacred artifacts are indeed powerful, but not enough to cause such a one-sided instant kill.

His gaze finally settled on Shen Nianqing's left wrist.

That old, faded red rope.

At this moment, the red rope was emitting a faint, ethereal blue light.

Several tiny runes could be vaguely seen flowing around the knot.

Qin Yuan stared intently at the red rope.

As an A-level ability user, he could clearly sense that the devastating pure white lightning bolt from just now was forcibly pulled down using this red rope as a coordinate.

A tattered red rope.

Several runes.

Transcending space, it unleashed thunder from the heavens.

One-hit kill, A+ level bizarre.

Qin Yuan felt his worldview was collapsing.

What level of technique is this?

Who exactly made this red string?

Zhao Yue leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"Old Qin, this thing..."

"Shut up."

Qin Yuan interrupted him.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Shen Nianqing, and was more respectful than ever before.

He even bent down slightly.

"Ms. Shen, you've been frightened. We are from the National Bureau of Abnormal Affairs."

He looked at the red rope.

"May I ask a question?"

"Who gave you this bracelet?"

Shen Nianqing had not yet fully recovered from the shock she had just experienced.

What echoed in my mind was Chen Shidu's chilling question, "Can you really get away?"

She did not answer Qin Yuan's question.

He simply used his right hand to gently cover the red rope.

The fear in my eyes completely vanished, replaced by a deep sense of longing and peace.

……

Thousands of miles away.

The Ten Thousand Mountains, Taiqing Palace.

The summit of the back mountain.

Chen Shidu sat cross-legged on a protruding blue stone, his eyes slightly closed.

Sudden.

The red string on her left wrist glowed with a faint blue light.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the red string on his wrist.

The red string was slightly warm.

This was the life-saving charm he left on Shen Nianqing.

Symbolic movement.

Lightning struck.

It means that someone or something has harmed the person he was protecting.

Chen Shidu slowly stood up.

The Taoist robe fluttered in the mountain wind.

He raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the thick sea of ​​clouds, looking towards the northeast.

"court death."

Two words.

Scattered by the wind.

The sea of ​​clouds within a ten-zhang radius collapsed the moment those two words were uttered.
