Silver light descended like a celestial being, instantly shattering the Demon God Pearl that was about to activate! The leader of the Heishan sect turned pale, as if struck by lightning, and the fragments of the Demon God Pearl scattered to the ground, dissipating into tiny black sparks in the air.
"Who goes there?!" he shouted fiercely, his gaze sharp as he scanned the surroundings.
A tall figure descended from the sky, dressed in white as pure as snow, with a cold expression. Standing under the moonlight, he resembled an otherworldly being, exuding a powerful aura that sent chills down one’s spine.
" Shang Ye sect, Nameless." The newcomer spoke in a calm tone, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
Chu Sheng's eyes narrowed in shock. Shang Ye sect? Why would that mysterious organization appear at this moment? Was it a timely rescue or did they have ulterior motives? He squinted, scrutinizing the god-like figure before him.
The faces of the Heishan sect members changed dramatically; even those controlled by the Evil Energy Orb instinctively took a step back, fear flickering in their eyes. The reputation of Shang Ye sect instilled terror in them, even in their irrational state. It was a fear ingrained deep within them, like a mouse facing a cat or a vicious dog encountering a tiger.
" Shang Ye sect? Hmph! Even you won't stop us from completing our mission today!" The leader of Heishan sect suppressed his inner dread and shouted fiercely. He forced out a few words through clenched teeth: "Attack! Kill them!"
Dozens of figures lunged at Nameless like rabid dogs. The power of the Evil Energy Orb had stripped them of reason and fear, leaving only a bloodthirsty impulse. They howled and roared like Evil Spirits crawling out of hell, reeking of a nauseating stench.
Nameless sighed lightly, seemingly resigned to the scene before him. He raised his right hand gracefully, as if brushing over piano strings. In an instant, silver light cascaded down like a waterfall, overwhelming everything with an unstoppable force. The frontmost members of Heishan sect didn’t even have time to scream before being engulfed by the silver light, vanishing like melting ice and snow into nothingness. A burnt smell filled the air—the scent of flesh evaporating.
"What... what kind of power is this?" Chu Sheng stared in shock at this scene; even he had never witnessed such terrifying ability. It surpassed his understanding, akin to a miracle that was hard to believe. His throat felt dry as he struggled to swallow.
At that moment, several more figures appeared silently on the battlefield like phantoms. Clad in matching white tight-fitting outfits adorned with silver characters for "evil," they were other members of Shang Ye sect. Each exuded calmness and sharp gazes, resembling well-trained soldiers radiating an intimidating killing intent.
"President, let us handle these insignificant pests," said a burly man stepping forward, excitement gleaming in his eyes. He cracked his knuckles eagerly, seemingly itching to showcase his skills.
"Wang Wang, you are responsible for protecting the students." Nameless spoke lightly, yet his gaze remained locked on the leader of Heishan sect, resembling a hawk watching its prey, filled with an overwhelming sense of pressure.
The man known as Wang Wang nodded in acknowledgment, his figure flashing like a leopard, appearing beside the injured student. He formed seals with his hands, and streams of silver light fell upon the wounded, like spring rain nourishing parched earth. The injuries healed at a visibly rapid pace, and the students' pained groans gradually diminished.
Seeing the situation turn against him, the leader of Heishan sect realized he had kicked a hornet's nest. He pulled out a Demon God Pearl from his pocket, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes. "I’ll risk it all!"
However, before he could activate it, Nameless had already appeared before him like a specter, moving with such speed that it was almost impossible to react. Nameless's voice was as cold as ice, piercing to the bone: "Your movements are too slow."
With a single finger pointed out, it was as if he merely skimmed the surface of water. The void trembled as an invisible force surged toward the leader of Heishan sect like a tidal wave. Struck as if by lightning, he was sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall like a rag doll. In disbelief, he looked down to see a gaping wound in his chest, blood gushing forth and staining the ground.
"How... is this possible..." he managed to utter those words with great difficulty, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair before he succumbed to death.
The other members of Heishan sect saw their leader killed and immediately scattered like startled birds, fleeing in disarray like lost dogs. The members of Shang Ye sect pursued them like hunters after their prey, swiftly taking them down one by one without leaving a single survivor.
The battle ended as quickly as lightning; before Chu Sheng could recover from his shock, Nameless had already walked up to him.
"Chu Sheng, your performance was commendable." Nameless regarded him with eyes deep as an abyss, as if capable of seeing through everything. "However, you still need greater strength."
Chu Sheng felt a stir in his heart. "What do you mean by that, senior?"
" Heishan sect is just the beginning; the real storm has yet to arrive." Nameless turned to gaze into the distance, his tone carrying a hint of gravity. "We need to talk."
At that moment, Lin Yue rushed over with another group of students. Upon seeing the chaos and unfamiliar figures in white clothing, she instinctively positioned herself protectively in front of Chu Sheng.
"Lin Yue, it's fine." Chu Sheng held her hand firmly. "They are here to help us."
Nameless glanced at Lin Yue, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. "You should handle the aftermath first. When you're ready, come find me." With that, he turned to leave.
"Wait!" Chu Sheng suddenly called out. "Why are you helping us?"
Nameless paused for a moment, not turning back. "Because we are all fighting against the same enemy." With those words, his figure vanished like a wisp of wind into the night, leaving no trace behind.
The other members of Shang Ye sect finished tending to the injured and began to disperse like a receding tide, leaving behind a scene of chaos and a group of students still shaken by the events.
Chu Sheng stared in the direction where Nameless had disappeared, his mind racing with thoughts. The appearance of Shang Ye sect and Nameless's words hinted at an even greater storm on the horizon. He looked down at his hands, recalling the terrifying Demon God Pearl.
Yes, he needed stronger power. Not just to protect himself, but also to safeguard those around him.
The Merit Book at his chest pulsed gently, as if responding to his thoughts.
"Chu Sheng..." Lin Yue called softly.
"I'm fine." Chu Sheng snapped back to reality, meeting her worried gaze with a reassuring smile. "However, the road ahead may be even more difficult."
The night breeze swept through, bringing a chill. In the distance, a shadow quietly slipped away into the darkness. Though this battle had ended, a larger conspiracy was just beginning...
