On the other side of the city, at the foot of the mountain.
Mo Yu, who had chosen to flee immediately when faced with the Tyrant's sudden attack, watched as the black tide of Monsters occupying the city suddenly shrank by more than half.
He quickly shouted upwards, "Boss Fang, there's a change in the Monsters in HQ City!"
"Changed again? What exactly does the Monster Association want to do!" Luo Yulong gnashed his teeth, looking at the shrinking tide of Monsters in the distance.
On the mountaintop, Fang Wenyu and the others watched as the black-gold swarm retreated in another direction.
Cao Li looked in that direction with a solemn expression, "Isn't that where Director Bai is? Could these Monsters be targeting Director Bai?"
"Impossible, right? Director Bai is a Level Six. This Monster might be special, but it's impossible to defeat a Level Six existence by relying on numbers," Wang Li shook his head.
"Whether it's possible or not, the upcoming battle is no longer something we can participate in," Jiang Ao said with a gloomy expression.
In the sky.
Lin Le looked at Ming Wang and asked, "Should we go back, or wait here for the outcome of the battle? After all, there's nothing left for us to do."
"Let's retreat," Ming Wang lowered his head and glanced at Fang Wenyu and the others below.
The intensity of the battle now far exceeded his expectations. Up to this point, Level Fives had become supporting characters, and the scales of victory were now in the hands of Level Sixes.
"We should have left earlier. If Bai Wenliang wins, it's fine, but if he loses, we might be buried with him if we're slow to escape," Salo interjected.
Whoosh! Ming Wang controlled the blanket and flew outwards, moving so fast that he instantly disappeared from the sight of the people below.
Seeing this, Qin Musheng's face showed a mocking expression, "I've long heard that people from the Bureau of Gods only fight when they have the upper hand. I never expected to witness it today; they run away as soon as the situation turns unfavorable."
Fang Wenyu ignored everything around him, standing silently.
His eyes gradually lost focus, and everything around him became blurry.
In front of him stood the back of an old man in a grey-blue robe.
"Wenyu, you are only one step away from becoming Deputy Director, and that is to eliminate Jiang Ao. If Bai Wenliang also dies here,
then it's not impossible for you to become Director. By then, your entire Nanwu Country will improve under your will." The old man's voice was calm and peaceful, as if Fang Wenyu was destined to walk this path.
Fang Wenyu's eyes were distant at this moment, "Master is right. Now, no one can stop me from ascending to that position, nor can anyone point fingers at me."
"Hahaha, worthy of being my disciple!" The old man laughed happily upon hearing Fang Wenyu's words.
Pfft! Just then, a hand suddenly pierced through the old man's chest. The old man's laughing stopped, and he said incredulously, "Wenyu, what are you doing? I'm your master!"
Fang Wenyu stood beside him, his eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses flashing with an inexplicable light, "I don't like others dictating the path I walk, especially not a monstrosity like you."
"When did you realize?" The old man's tone suddenly became emotionless as he asked in confusion.
Bang! Fang Wenyu didn't answer immediately. Instead, a special force field appeared in his hand, instantly shattering the old man's body, which then turned into black mist and disappeared.
He looked at the disappearing mist and said coldly, "A dead person appearing in my dreams every day—if you continued like that, I still might not have noticed anything.
But you were too eager. Perhaps you were confident in your Mental-type abilities, so when you first appeared in reality to mislead me into harming Deng Mengcheng, I sensed something was wrong."
Crack! The surrounding world began to crack as the black mist vanished.
Outside, Jiang Ao, who had been observing Fang Wenyu, suddenly moved his gaze. He noticed that Fang Wenyu's state seemed off at this moment.
'Although I don't know why he's like this, this might be my only chance for revenge!' Jiang Ao's face showed a ruthless expression. His left hand suddenly conjured a black whirlwind, forming a spinning wind drill, which he fiercely thrust towards Fang Wenyu.
Now that the city was destroyed, all traces were gone. Afterwards, even Mental-type Awakened Ones might not find evidence of Fang Wenyu harming others.
Moreover, the distant battle made him feel a sense of crisis. The Xuanjian Division might face major problems after today, and by then, he wouldn't be confident in defeating Fang Wenyu if he tried to attack him again.
Jiang Ao was originally three meters behind Fang Wenyu, and his sudden move caught everyone off guard.
Qin Wan, standing beside Fang Wenyu, immediately turned her head when the wind drill appeared, disturbing the surrounding airflow.
She saw Jiang Ao's left hand, wrapped in a whirlwind, savagely thrusting towards Fang Wenyu. Her expression changed; there was no time to pull Jiang Ao into the Doulin Realm at this distance.
"Wenyu!!!" Qin Wan shouted, subconsciously pushing Fang Wenyu away.
Fang Wenyu also suddenly sobered up at this moment.
Pfft! Jiang Ao's wind drill pierced into Qin Wan's chest. He looked at Qin Wan, who had pushed Fang Wenyu away, and roared savagely, "Why did you save him!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Jiang Ao's full-power attack, striking Qin Wan's undefended body, met no resistance whatsoever.
Bang! Qin Wan's body was torn apart by the wind drill, turning into a spray of blood that splattered everywhere.
Fang Wenyu, who had just turned around, had the left side of his body drenched and stained red with a large amount of blood. He looked at all this, stunned, as if unable to believe the scene before him.
"Fang Wenyu!!!" However, Jiang Ao didn't stop. He roared, thrusting his left-hand wind drill towards Fang Wenyu.
Rumble!
Thunder sounded behind him, and a greenish-white lightning bolt shot towards Jiang Ao.
Qin Musheng looked at Jiang Ao, who had suddenly attacked, and roared, "Jiang Ao, are you out of your mind!"
Beside him, Cao Li and Wang Li also attacked Jiang Ao with grim expressions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! A strong wind whipped up around Jiang Ao, blocking the attacks from behind.
At the same time, an invisible force field appeared in Fang Wenyu's hand. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Jiang Ao!!!"
Bang! Rumble! Rumble!
The mountaintop, only a few dozen square meters in area, suddenly exploded. Tremendous roars echoed continuously, and a large amount of smoke and dust shot into the sky, covering everything around.
All the Awakened Ones at the foot of the mountain were startled by the commotion and looked towards that direction.
Whoosh! A figure broke through the smoke and dust, flying towards the sky.
"Fang Wenyu, this isn't over between us!" A roar came from above.
Jiang Ao, somewhat disheveled, rushed into the high sky and disappeared.
Within the smoke and dust, Fang Wenyu's face showed sorrow, his eyes bloodshot.
He looked at the blood-soaked ground, his voice trembling, "Junior Sister!!!"
"Why must people sacrifice and die on the path to achieving justice? Are humans truly so hopeless!" Fang Wenyu looked up at the sky with numb eyes.
First, his master died because of him, and now his junior sister died saving him. At this moment, the justice he pursued quietly began to change under the distortion of the pillar of despair.
