Chapter 927: Layer after layer of dense fog!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The white light was bright like the sun.
Huangliang City had now been completely shrouded.
That endless light didn’t stop for a long time. Not to mention those few nearby cities, even the far north ones could feel the powerful energy!
“What the hell happened?”
“Where was that?”
“Huangliang City! It turned out to be in the direction of Huangliang City.”
“Damn, this energy…”
Everyone was frightened.
What happened recently? Disasters kept occurring frequently. Forget about that previous incident in Taihu Territory, how long was it since then? Another Nine Great Despairs collapsed! Such force was not any under the one in Taihu Territory! Out of the Nine Great Despairs, only seven remained.
What big disaster was about to happen?
Everyone wasn’t feeling great about it.
Just like before an earthquake, livestock would be in a panic while birds and beasts flee. That was a sign of an impending disaster. Nowadays, as more Nine Great Despairs collapsed, could that be an indicator of an incoming disaster?
However…
The collapse of Nine Great Despairs itself was already a disaster! If a disaster of such a degree was just the warning signs… What would happen to this land?
Many powerful espers of the Federation couldn’t sit still.
“Let’s go and have a look at Huangliang City.”
“We need to rush over there.”
“I want to see what the hell happened there!”
“I can’t sit back and wait anymore.”
World espers from all over the place head to the same place.
The reason they hid was to avoid trouble, but no one could sit still if a disaster were about to strike. In an instant, powerful world espers from all over the world appeared one after another in Huangliang City. Even the Origin Ability Association and the Federation were dispatching all their members!
They couldn’t help but dispatch them!
Huangliang City didn’t have many strong espers.
But…
It was still a city after all!
An ancient city with four seasons, how many people were staying there? How many strong espers’ families were there? Now, in a blink of an eye, it turned into ruins.
“Three million people!”
“My family members are still there, damn it!”
“What the hell is going on there?”
“Is it a natural disaster or man-made?”
“Exactly who was that cruel?”
Various voices could be heard. These were coming from those who had friends and family in Huangliang City. No one would have thought that a city that beasts couldn’t break into suddenly turned into ruins. With a population of three million people, they were gone just like that. How much hatred toward humanity would be required for one to be willing to do so?
Over three million people…
Those were no longer about human lives.
Perhaps for them, it was just a number?
Huangliang City.
After half an hour later, the surrounding area was already packed with people.
They were strong espers from all over the world. Some people even opened a space channel to travel here. Even when their Rule Force got exhausted, they didn’t mind. However, once they rushed over here, what greeted them was ruins. Huangliang City was now gone.
Under such a magnitude of force, how could there be anything left?
The surrounding Huangliang City was filled with nothing but anguished wailing.
Huangliang City or perhaps one can already name it Huangliang Ruins. This strong city had been wiped off the map. However, when some strong espers looked in the direction of Huangliang City, they could see a number of dead bodies.
Those…
They seemed to be residents of Huangliang City?
Died?
Oh, yeah, they were dead.
Everyone regained their senses. There would probably be none who survive. Not to mention ordinary people, even any domain or world esper would die. However, within seconds, someone soon reacted. He finally realized something was amiss, “How could there be corpses!”
A sharp cry awakened everyone.
Yes.
Corpses!
How could there be bodies?
They had seen that attack earlier.
A city had already been reduced to ruins! Under such a terrifying attack, forget about humans, even a powerful beast would be blasted into nothing, right?
“Quick, go and see what happened!”
“Quickly go.”
Several people rushed out and found several bodies and had a closer look.
Ordinary people.
They were ordinary people of Huangliang City, and they only cultivated for fitness. They weren’t any stronger than professional espers and were one of the most common members of the Federation’s army. However, these people, under such an attack, their bodies somehow managed to be kept intact!
“What is happening?”
“What kind of force was that.”
“Could it be that it harms humans based on priority?
Everyone quickly reacted.
Then as they hurriedly searched for more bodies, soon, everyone turned silent. Within the ruins of Huangliang City, they found a body. This man was a world esper while alive.
He was dead.
From his expression, one could clearly see the moment the attack arrived, he didn’t even react and just got killed like that.
This can be considered as an unexpected disaster.
“Even a world esper died.”
“Ordinary people were also dead.”
“Having said that, this damn force didn’t damage the human body?”
Soon, someone turned over the bodies of several blue dream butterflies from the side, “These were those butterflies kept by the disciples of various families. They are all dead too, but their bodies remain intact. This attack wiped out all the buildings and souls, but left behind corpses!”
“There is actually such a force?”
Everyone was stunned.
Only leaving corpses behind…
At this moment, more and more powerful espers came. When they saw this scene, they also felt grief. Even many reporters came here for a live broadcast. At this moment, one could say that the eyes of the entire Federation were focused here! Huangliang City, the mysterious collapse crisis had attracted everyone’s attention.
At the same time, Su Hao and Zheng Tai woke up leisurely.
“Are we dead?” Zheng Tai said in a daze.
Su Hao recorded and analyzed the surrounding situation in an instant, “We’re in the ruins, the ruins of Huangliang City.”
“Not dead?”
Zheng Tai was shocked.
“We’re quite far away, which is why we were fine.” Su Hao shook his head, “That force just happened to be controlled within the scope of Huangliang City. We’re only at the edge of the city and only received the aftermath.”
“Very fortunate.” Zheng Tai sighed in relief.
At this moment, these two geniuses regained their senses of what had happened earlier. No wonder those two giant wolves would flee… It turned out to be an explosion in Huangliang City? Where did those wolves come from? Then, what force was that explosion? Huangliang City, under such an attack, could it survive?
When Su Hao and Zheng Tai crawled out, they already saw the answer.
Ruins.
A total ruin.
This was a sea of ruins.
The big Huangliang City was now gone.
Su Hao and Zheng Tai stood at the edge of the ruins and suddenly felt sorrow. Seeing a city evaporate with their own eyes and millions of people die, how could one feel?
Those were numerous human lives…
A natural disaster or man-made?
Su Hao looked into the distance. The sound of weeping echoed; they were the family members of their loved ones. The entire ruins were immersed in prayer and sorrow for the three million souls here.
“I hate this feeling.” Zheng Tai said in a low voice.
“Yes.” Su Hao said indifferently. The murderous intent in his heart rose sharply.
Nine Snakes…
Is it you again?
From Muguang City, one could see Nine Snakes never placed human lives in their eyes!
An entire city got toyed around by them, but last time in Muguang City, it only had a population of a few thousand. This time, it was Huangliang City, with a population of over three million people!
“I will never let you all off!”
Su Hao’s eyes turned cold.
He would never close his eyes and pretend nothing happened.
Muguang City, Huangliang City… Nine Snakes must be eradicated! Su Hao had no feelings for the residents of Huangliang City, but he knew that there were certain matters that he needed to step up and fight against. Today, he could happily overlook things and pretend nothing happened. What about in the future when Jianghe City reaches its turn?
If those from Nine Snakes were to target Jianghe City…
Who could stop them?
Even Huangliang City got destroyed, can Jianghe City survive?
Su Hao didn’t have that confidence.
Although his family had left Jianghe City, it was still his root after all! The best way to protect his family was to kill Nine Snakes!
However…
What was the purpose of Nine Snakes?
Nine Snakes disregarded human lives, but they would never do something meaningless. Everything must have corresponding goals and objectives. This time, what was the purpose of destroying Huangliang City? What do these people want to obtain from Huangliang City? He had too many questions unanswered.
“Hello.” A reporter saw Su Hao and Zheng Tai crawl out from the ruins, and both eyes lit up.
There are actually still someone alive from the ruins of Huangliang City?
He seemed to have realized a piece of super big news!
“En?”
Su Hao had a glance.
Before the reporter spoke, he already understood it. Then he picked up a broken bottle next to him, “Hey, brothers. You’re a reporter. Have a look, is this thing worth it? Our brothers found it. It seems that this Huangliang City deserved its title as an ancient city previously.”
So it turned out to be leftovers?
And it was under such a disaster?
The reporter suddenly no longer felt excited and left in some disgust. After going back, he warned other reporters not to go near Su Hao. Otherwise, if one knew Su Hao and the other guy came back alive and caused the rage of those world espers with dead families…
There would be another disaster.
Su Hao wasn’t afraid of them, but there was no need to cause trouble for himself.
The reporter’s business was only a minor episode. More and more powerful people arrived. Various networks started their live broadcast of the news regarding Huangliang City. At this moment, the eyes of the entire Federation were focused on here. Su Hao also happened to notice the corpses left behind too.
“Has it ended?”
“I still have this feeling that something is amiss.”
Su Hao muttered to himself. Did Nine Snakes simply want to destroy Huangliang City?
He would never believe it!
What is your guys’ purpose…
What exactly was it?
At this moment, a sad song suddenly echoed and attracted everyone’s attention. Even the reporter who broadcasted the news fell into a brief silence.
This was a song dedicated to the dead.
What grief.
“Something bad is about to happen…” Su Hao suddenly broke the silence.
“Huh?” Zheng Tai looked around, scratching his head, “What can happen with so many strong espers here?”
“I had read about this legend in a document before.”
Su Hao looked at the ruins of Huangliang City. His expression looked calm, but what he said made Zheng Tai tremble, “This song is called The Elegy of Undead.”
