Excessive ferocity due to caution

"They're here..."

Chris's eyes sharpened.

At this moment, besides the murderous intent in her heart, she felt even greater awe for Zhao Yi.

My master is too cunning!

And they never underestimate their opponents!

To be fair, if it were her, she would have already led her people to the mountains to find that dilapidated temple...

She never imagined that Bai Xiao, without the resurrection item, would still dare to seek revenge!

The moonlit water is cold.

Beneath the dilapidated, high wall, there was a group of several dozen people.

After leaving the city, they immediately headed towards Liujing Tower, the largest property in the outer city.

As the financial hub (commonly known as the bank) of the outer city, Liujing Tower not only stores a large amount of money and rare treasures, but also has a considerable number of human resources guarding it.

Bai Xiao's objective this time was very simple—to kill everyone in Liujing Tower and take all the money inside!

If this succeeds, although it will not cause any harm to Zhao Yi himself, it will be a huge blow to Zhao Yi's power and spirit!

This is exactly the effect Bai Xiao wanted!

He wanted to make Zhao Yi angry and regret offending him!

While stealthily making their way along the dilapidated streets that hadn't been repaired for years, one of Bai Xiao's subordinates suddenly noticed something and alerted him:

"Brother Bai... I feel like something's not right..."

The others turned their attention to the young man.

He transformed his ghostly eyes into those of a vengeful spirit, scanned the surroundings, and then asked with suspicion:

"Don't you all think this street is too dark?"

Someone said impatiently:

"You're talking nonsense... This road doesn't even have a single streetlight; no wonder it's dark!"

"We're here to help Brother Bai get revenge, not for you to stand here and scare yourself!"

"Zhao Yi from the outer city has already dispatched most of his forces to the cursed temple in the suburban mountains. That ghost temple is extremely sinister. Some guilds lost several near-death warriors inside. Even if they manage to escape from the ghost temple by sheer luck, they will inevitably pay a heavy price!"

"We're taking advantage of this opportunity now, what's there to be afraid of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint weeping sound suddenly came from afar.

The voice was very faint.

A faint, muffled sound, barely audible.

Under the cold, silent night, the sound traveled on the wind to everyone's ears.

Everyone shivered for no apparent reason.

They ignored the crying and continued toward Liujing Tower.

At first, there were still some pedestrians on the street.

But once they got closer to Liujing Tower, they didn't see many people.

Empty streets...

The crying grew louder and louder...

The ominous premonition in Bai Xiao and the others grew stronger.

They subconsciously softened their footsteps on the ground.

It seems that even slightly loud footsteps make them feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Bai..."

A player's voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

He pointed ahead.

Everyone looked in that direction.

Under the white moon, in the middle of the road.

A small, dark figure was standing there.

She was crying.

She had her back to everyone, and her voice grew louder and louder.

One player suddenly covered his head, opened his mouth wide, and stared wide-eyed!

He stared intently at the little girl in the distance, wanting to say something, but no sound came out!

A few breaths later, the player's head suddenly exploded!

The headless corpse lay limply on the ground, still twitching symbolically.

The bizarre scene frightened the group.

But in just a moment, Bai Xiao realized what was happening!

"It's a psychological attack!"

He shouted!

Players in the team with psychic abilities immediately launched a psychic attack on the little girl in the middle of the street!

Sa!

A particle storm suddenly swept through the once peaceful street!

A devastating storm surged toward the little girl, about to engulf her, when she seemed to sense the danger and cried out. A vast surge of psychic power erupted, shaking off the particle storm and transforming into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones, which then swept over the players in the inner city!

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The psychic players were horrified by the sight and shouted in fury!

What terrifying telekinetic power is this?!

Shouldn't Zhao Yi have taken his men to the Ghost Temple in the suburbs?

Why are there such powerful entities in the outer city area?

Under the cover of several players with psychic abilities, the group retreated out of the little ghost's attack range.

The mountain of corpses and sea of ​​bones dissipated like smoke and dust outside the area covered by the little female ghost's psychic power.

"Now's the time!"

A near-deadly player yelled and summoned a moss-covered mech to possess his body!

He was a player in the field of mechanics. After leveling up in the field of mechanics, he began to acquire knowledge about mechs and used the materials provided by the system store to modify a powerful mech for himself!

At this moment, taking advantage of the gap in the little ghost's mental attack, he began to fight back!

"Dragon Rock!"

The player roared angrily.

With the help of gears, a mechanical arm slammed into the ground with unstoppable force!

Long cracks spread towards the little ghost girl's feet, and a hidden destructive force below was about to devour her!

At the critical moment, a dark figure darted past and took the little ghost girl away!

"What is that?!"

Someone let out a strange cry.

"I couldn't see clearly...it looks like...it's a pig!"

"Chase!"

Bai Xiao's eyebrows shot up!

Although he didn't know what was going on with that little female ghost, he would never let go of any of Zhao Yi's forces!

If Zhao Yi could kill a near-great ferocious beast, it would be a huge shock to him!

This is definitely more powerful than destroying a vault!

The group quickly followed Fei Lue's dark figure and chased after him!

Some people had transportation and ran ahead, while others had less capable vehicles and fell behind...

The line was stretched into a long strip.

Then, the deadly insects hidden in the darkness stretched out their fangs!

Red mist drifted in from the depths of the streets and alleys.

Under the cover of twilight, it happened silently.

By the time everyone realized it, it was too late.

At least half of them were swallowed into the red mist and fell silent...

"not good!"

The moment Bai Xiao saw the red mist, his eyes widened and his hair stood on end!

impossible!

Zhao Yi went up the mountain to get his ID card, making such a big fuss. My informants said thousands of people went. Someone of that level... how could they possibly still be in the city?!

Bai Xiao's mind raced with a flurry of thoughts, then suddenly he remembered something and his whole body trembled!

"Could it be...?"

His eyes flickered with disbelief.

"impossible……"

"Absolutely impossible!"

He said absentmindedly.

But then he heard a voice that sent chills down his spine.

His smile was ambiguous, carrying both indifference and a hint of mockery.

"Nothing is impossible."

Bai Xiao and the others stopped in their tracks.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

A flashlight suddenly turned on.

The light was blinding.

They tilted their heads slightly.

After getting used to it, I finally saw Zhao Yi's somewhat unsettling and sinister face.

He changed into casual pajamas, showing no signs of the tension before the big battle.

The stark contrast ignited a nameless fire within Bai Xiao's heart.

This guy... doesn't he take me seriously at all...?

Tap tap—

The heavy footsteps spread along with the red mist.

The players behind Bai Xiao quickly turned around, glaring at him menacingly!

"You dare to come looking for me without any resurrection items?"

"I really don't know whether to call you stupid or brave."

Zhao Yi grinned:

"But this is for the best..."

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."

"Martial prowess..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a resounding, chilling voice echoed from within the red mist.

"The Jie Sect's elite warriors have assembled. Please give your orders, Master!"

Zhao Yi raised his hand:

"kill."

The red mist obscured the figures of Zhao Yi and his companions.

Bai Xiao unleashed a palm strike, unleashing the power of a near-destructive force, but it was all annihilated in the void deep within the red mist...

Zhao Yi is no longer here.

Bai Xiao clenched his fists tightly, slowly turned around, and looked at the hundreds of menacing black figures in the red mist, his body trembling involuntarily...

He no longer has the items to revive him...

Could it be that I am going to die so hastily in this place today?

Anger gradually turned into fear...

That damn Zhao Yi...

How did he know that I was going to break into his house tonight?

Why?!

Within the crimson mist, Wu Liang and the other hundreds of assassins' killing intent surged to its peak!

"By order of the leader... we shall vanquish the evil!"

Wu Liang stared at the pale-faced players and slowly spoke.

The crimson mist completely engulfed this place!

A terrifying force collided deep within the crimson mist, and the faint, almost imperceptible cry of a little girl could be heard from within...
