87: Chapter 87 Devastating News! Jiang Xingdong is dead?!

"We successfully captured three people from the Black Hole Council in the mystic realm and interrogated them about their identities. Unfortunately, when we specifically inquired about intelligence regarding the Night Crow Society, it triggered the confidentiality seals on them..."

Battalion Commander Sun's tone carried a hint of regret, but the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed either.

At least they now knew that stinky group of rats behind the operation belonged to that bunch, and the Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe mystic realm had also been successfully stabilized.

"The operational deployment and map-running routes you provided were a huge help. Now the energy of the mystic realm has successfully dropped below 500. Next, we will guard this place and enter the mystic realm to maintain the stability of its energy."

Chu Hong nodded.

Then he asked somewhat gravely,

"Battalion Commander Sun, I wonder how things are going on the City Lord's side? Is it going smoothly?"

...

Mystic Realm Time [00:54:58].

In reality, inside the top-secret Cliffside Epidemic Hospital.

Project Code Fenrir Matrix, that ferocious and huge wolf head, even though it had been severed and rolled on the ground, still retained a vicious majesty in its greenish eyes.

Above the plaza between the Main Hospital Building and the Underground Anatomy Center areas.

The battle was nearing its end.

With a bang, Jiang Xingdong was heavily blasted onto the ground like a cannonball once again.

A large mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth.

His face was as pale as gold foil.

At this moment, the people on the ground who could still barely stand could already be counted on one hand.

Donald's eyes were ferocious, and his aged face carried despair.

But even more so, it was shock at the terrifying strength of Mo Mio, who stood before them dressed in exquisitely tailored black clothing, slowly descending from mid-air by stepping on raven feathers as if walking down a flight of stairs.

"Ugh!"

"City Lord!" Not a shred of color could be seen on Lan Yujing's face as she rushed forward to fiercely block the space between Jiang Xingdong and Mo Mio.

However, at this moment, whether raising her shield or holding her sword, her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

The disparity was too great!

The Night Crow Councilor of the Black Hole Council before her was simply not someone she, a mere team captain from a small Huangshan Base City, could deal with.

Even... being able to stand in front of the other party seemed to be taking advantage of the fact that the opponent didn't hit women.

Lan Yujing was extremely anxious in her heart.

The evacuation time was getting closer and closer.

However, even if they found another evacuation point located at the Underground Anatomy Center, the current situation simply did not allow them to leave.

"Jiang Long!"

Lan Yujing anxiously shouted toward the pile of collapsed ruins in the direction of the Staff Dormitory.

The star figure of Huangshan Base City!

Jiang Long, captain of the Crossing River Dragon Team, stared blankly with lifeless eyes at the sky with its bloody moon, lying heavily injured in a deep pit.

Facing Lan Yujing's loud cry, he turned a deaf ear.

This damned Cliffside Epidemic Hospital, along with that terrifying figure that made the hairs all over his body tremble just thinking about it, left him with not even the slightest thought of resisting.

He had given up all hope...

Lan Yujing's pearly teeth clattered uncontrollably from trembling.

Tears began to flicker in her eyes at some unknown point, and her gaze looked backward.

Of the five members of the Falcon Squad, only the captain, Donald, remained, and he was in a severely injured state with one arm severed.

As for her Rose Squad, it was no better.

Only she and her deputy captain remained, and the latter had completely exhausted Source Energy at this moment, unable to even stand steadily.

"Captain Lan, take the City Lord and leave!"

A solemn yet somewhat hoarse voice came from President Song Ming beside her, whose spectacle lenses were shattered.

He took out the last kali fruit and ate it.

Recovering a slight fluctuation of Source Energy failed to restore even a shred of color to his complexion.

"President Song..."

"Go! If you don't leave now, none of you will make it out! Hurry!"

President Song Ming urged, his magical spear blooming with a grim chill as he instantly waved it.

"Crack, crack..."

Amidst the dense sound of ice crystals condensing,

Mo Mio calmly watched President Song Ming cast magic, sealing both himself and Mo Mio within a huge frozen space.

A faint glance was cast at the figures rapidly carrying Jiang Xingdong on their backs and pulling Donald and the others toward the Underground Anatomy Center.

"You don't think that relying solely on yourself can block me, do you?"

President Song Ming's gaze was calm yet resolute. "How would I know if I don't try?"

As his words fell,

an hourglass-like object suddenly appeared in his hand. Accompanied by him inputting Source Energy, a dazzling golden light instantly burst forth within this frozen space.

Mo Mio raised an eyebrow.

In an expression not showing much surprise, a mocking smile curled up.

"A Golden-quality magic-side collectible item, and you want to block me with this kind of little trinket?" Mo Mio said disdainfully.

Just at the moment when the magical fluctuation above the hourglass was about to erupt,

"Caw!"

amidst a harsh raven cry, a scene that nearly caused President Song Ming's heart to stop beating occurred!

A raven suddenly flew in front of the hourglass, its beak opening wide, and in the blink of an eye, it opened a bloody maw completely disproportionate to its body size.

With a gulp,

it swallowed the Golden-quality collectible item that President Song Ming had pinned his high hopes on in one gulp.

Amidst a burst of light, the raven's body trembled.

Afterwards, under President Song Ming's despairing gaze, it turned into a falling raven feather.

"You have a lot of courage..."

Mo Mio's voice suddenly sounded from behind President Song Ming at some unknown time.

President Song Ming turned around in shock, only to see that the opponent's figure had already vanished at the entrance leading in the direction of the Underground Anatomy Center evacuation point.

President Song Ming's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly rushed toward that side.

However,

at the East District Cliff Cableway evacuation point, the few people who had already started the ten-second countdown looked at everything before them with horrified expressions.

In the split second before anyone could react,

a fair, slender, and art-like hand suddenly pierced through the chest of the severely injured City Lord Jiang Xingdong, and a bloody heart was grasped in its hand.

Afterwards,

"Puchi!"

blood from Jiang Xingdong's heart splattered onto the face of Lan Yujing, who was closest.

Making the latter's already pale face appear even more numb and desperate.

[8, 7, 6...]

Mo Mio looked smilingly at the crowd who were scared silly like plaster statues, standing frozen in place without being able to make the slightest movement of resistance.

Its slender eyes squinted with a smile.

"Tell Jiang Xingdong for me... There is no next time!"

[3, 2, 1]

When President Song Ming rushed over to the East District Cliff Cableway, he happened to witness that terrifying scene.

Amidst a burst of white light,

Lan Yujing and the others, along with the corpse of Jiang Xingdong who had clearly been instantly killed by Mo Mio,

vanished together into the evacuation point.

President Song Ming widened his eyes, his breathing at this moment revealing a trembling chill of despair.

"You, you killed City Lord Jiang?!"

Mo Mio gave him a faint glance and brushed past his side,

as if killing him would dirty its own hands.

"..."

In reality.

Cliffside Epidemic Hospital mystic realm camp.

The stench emanating from the mystic realm became even more intense!

Lan Yujing and the others tumbled out of the teleportation portal in a disheveled state.

Jiang Xingdong's complexion was pale as death, and his entire body was covered in blood.

Amidst a burst of red light, a bronze statue of lord guansheng rolled out from beneath him.

And then...

Crack!
