Chapter 1179: Twilight Encounter

Sheyan and Mogensha had already poured gasoline over the five town areas and were igniting one area at a time. They had also heard the great rumbling from the mountains.
Mogensha’s expression sank. He said to Sheyan, “That should be the sound of the rock faults on the hillside cracking and collapsing. We don’t have much time left.”
He planned to continue to light the oil drum as he spoke, but suddenly, a gust of cold wind pounded on him fiercely. The force was so great that even the raindrops it pushed forward became lethal weapons. The raindrops hit Mogensha’s face, forcing him to shut his eyes in pain.
However, Mogensha reacted very quickly. When the attack struck him, a very strange phenomenon happened. Brother Black became like a feather floating in the water. If the feather was to be punched hard with a fist, the fist would find it hard to register any impact on it. Instead, the force would only push the feather further away.
The blow which landed on Brother Black only brought out a few drops of blood in the air, while his AK had also opened fire in that critical moment. Dozens of sharp tongues of fire flew across the air amidst dazzling light, looking like they would tear the darkness itself apart.
The bullets criss-crossed in the air, seemingly in a disorderly way but they cleverly formed a cage which trapped a shadow that flowed like the wind inside. The shadow was calm and fearless in the face of the bullets, but as soon as they struck, the bullets exploded violently, wrapping the figure in flames and leaving it with nowhere to hide!
Brother Black rolled and leaped to Sheyan’s side. During the process, he once again pulled the trigger a few times. Eight shells fell out of his gun as if in slow motion, while eight lines of flames shot forward.
This time, the black shadow no longer dared to take the bullets lightly. He stood still and flicked his right hand a little. The nail on the index finger suddenly flashed a with fierce light as it cut a bullet into two halves. His finger kept moving and finally, all the bullets fired by Brother Black fell to the ground, jingling down one by one.
But the next thing to assault him was a black oval-shaped projectile. The shadow was just about to cut it too when the grenade that had its detonation time set exploded by itself! A large blossom of gold and red bloomed in the darkness, even giving rise to a small mushroom cloud afterwards!
The dark shadow groaned in pain and rolled away with his body on fire. Brother Black landed after a roll, then got back up in a textbook half-kneeling tactical firing pose and continued pulling the trigger.
Since the enemy had already hid behind a corner, it was now time for Brother Black’s specialty. The bullets collided in the air, changing their trajectory and unexpectedly refracted behind the cover non-stop! This unusual way of attacking which defied common sense immediately caused a string of angry and painful shouts to rise from the corner!
But Brother Black suddenly froze because he could feel a cold sensation around his neck. Five fingers as cold as the fingers of the dead lay gently on his carotid artery. The nails on the fingers felt as sharp and as hard as metal blades.
A female voice spoke to him in a whisper, “It’s really rare to see such a powerful human. The taste of your blood must be extraordinarily delicious. Put down your gun if you still want to live, outsider….”
The voice had abruptly stopped at this point because the talking woman was suddenly trembling all over. A hard-to-describe feeling suddenly transmitted over from her temple. The feeling was as hot and as dangerous as the rays of the sun, concentrated by 10,000 times!
An ancient silvery-white gun, carrying an air of solemn dignity akin to the Bastille prison fortress, stood against her temple!
Sheyan was holding ‘Verdict’ in his grasp and had placed it forcefully on the temple of the mysterious shadow that was grabbing Mogensha’s throat!
Because fire was already raging nearby, they could see that the mysterious shadow being held at gunpoint by Sheyan was a woman with short brown hair. She was half kneeling and half crouching on the ground in an eerie way reminiscent of bats. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her teeth were white and sharp, and the spot being aimed at by the muzzle of ‘Verdict’ was full of goosebumps. Her fingers were trembling. ‘Verdict’ was obviously imposing a terrifying pressure on her!
“What the hell is that?” A voice which carried a mixture of fear and anger suddenly came from the darkness, “We have to save Alice!”
“Stop! Do you want Alice to die? She won’t survive if she’s shot!” Another voice, equally angry but with more reason, could be heard. The fire grew more intense. Sheyan’s pupils contracted slightly, and he could finally see a tall young man with sickly pale skin standing in the darkness.
Sheyan’s eyes flashed, and he immediately asked tentatively, “Mr. Edward Cullen? I have no intention of offending anyone. I also believe that all living things in this world deserve the right to live. This situation is a complete misunderstanding.”
The tall, handsome young man was astonished.
“How do you know my name?”
Sheyan laughed.
“As a show of my sincerity, I can let your sister Alice Cullen go first, but I hope to meet with your father, Mr. Carlisle Cullen as soon as possible, because time is precious; not just for us, but for every resident in this town.”
“I’m already here.” A man with kind eyes and blonde hair appeared in Sheyan’s sight.
Sheyan retracted ‘Verdict’ and kept it, making the intimidating weapon disappear right in front of their eyes. Alice Cullen let out a shriek of relief and immediately fled into the safety of her family on the opposite side.
Sheyan stood up and stared calmly at Carlisle.
“To make a long story short, I’m also a powerful person, like you guys, and I usually use this power to save people. In a few minutes, this town will be engulfed by a terrible mudslide. There are some townsfolk who want to try their luck and have refused to evacuate, so I have to set the houses on fire to force them out.”
“We’ll leave after saving the villagers without disturbing your peaceful lives…. That’s all. We’ll continue to set fire. If you agree with me, I don’t mind some help. If you just want to stand by, I don’t mind that either. But if anyone tries to stop me, that person will be my enemy! Anyone, even a powerful vampire family!”
At the end of his last sentence, the illusionary image of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ flickered behind Sheyan. That terrible and powerful dark force swayed wildly, almost covering the sky! Sheyan turned around, lit up a lighter, and set fire to a nearby house.
The Cullen vampires were indeed powerful, but when faced with enemies with unknown powers, the best choice was to be cautious rather than to fight. Although Edward Cullen was eager to give it a try, his father prevented him from doing so.
“If we start a fight with these two men, even if we manage to kill them, at least two of us will die. That weapon…. I’ve never seen nor heard anything like it. Its level of danger to us creatures of darkness is absolutely no less than the sacred relics worshipped for thousands of years in the holy church! Are you going to risk the lives of the whole family just to vent your temporary anger? And don’t forget, there are more than two of them!”
Some loud noises suddenly came from the hills again. The incomparably harsh noise sounded like a cloth being torn, but magnified by a thousand times. The vampires, thanks to their outstanding vision, could see the tall red pines on the distant hillside being rubbed like dough and rolling down crazily.
Such an abnormal phenomenon, coupled with their father’s warning, stopped the Cullen family’s desire to fight. The remaining volunteers in town quickly left while screaming in fear. They had done their best.

The deafening roars sounded like thunder. The mudslide began to gradually take shape, rolling into existence from scratch. It peeled off the ground everywhere it passed through. Its destructive power seemed like it would sweep the whole world away!
In the face of a natural disaster of this scale, every person and every kind of creature could truly feel how small they were. They were merely a chestnut in the ocean, an insignificant existence!
There were still more than ten townspeople on the town square. A moment ago, they were still swearing and shouting in the rain, cursing those who disturbed their sleep and burned their houses in the most vicious language. But now, they were all lying paralysed on the ground, their mind a complete blank. Based on the flowing speed of the mudslide, it would only take two minutes at most to cover the whole town. Where else could they run to?
Suddenly, a Ford Raptor drove over wildly in the dark and braked right in front of them. The harsh braking sound and the smoke from the tires were clear even in the torrential rain. Out jumped Sheyan and Brother Black to throw the startled survivors like sacks onto the open-air rear compartment of the vehicle.
There were more than a dozen people there, but it took them only four or five seconds to throw everyone onto the pickup truck. Even though some did not land well and ended up getting injured, the contestants could not care about that at such time.
