146: More people

Under the night sky, Gu Qinghan and Kong Yan advanced side-by-side.

“What exactly is your Class?” he asked Kong Yan.

Kong Yan glanced at Gu Qinghan’s expression and slowly replied:

“Gale Assassin, an Outstanding Class.”

Gu Qinghan nodded; he knew this guy’s Class wouldn’t be ordinary.

The two quickly arrived above the fountain plaza, witnessing the scene of hell on earth below.

Gu Qinghan frowned, looking at the bloodstains on the ground and asking:

“Look at these bloodstains, don’t they look a bit like…”

“A formation?”

“Yes, these people were at the center of the formation.”

Gu Qinghan nodded, a vague sense of unease creeping into him.

At this moment, the constantly swirling wind blades reappeared around Kong Yan, and he said to Gu Qinghan:

“Let’s go down together and see if we can interrupt this formation.

I have a feeling that if we let this guy continue, something very bad will happen.”

Gu Qinghan fully agreed with his assessment, but there were at least three to four hundred Professionals below, all elites.

Even if he went down alone, it would be tricky, not to mention the strange blood-red glows constantly erupting from the ground.

Kong Yan saw that Gu Qinghan wasn’t responding to him, and felt a little puzzled.

He then saw a grotesque Bone Spear suddenly appear above Gu Qinghan’s head, flying towards a Professional near Cui Rang.

Screams immediately erupted from the ground; the Bone Spear pierced through the first person’s body and then impaled the second person’s leg.

“There are people in the sky!”

The surrounding Professionals immediately reacted, looking up to discover the giant black Crow in the sky.

At this moment, the black Crow flapped its wings, and feathers drifted down, lending a strange beauty to the absurd scene.

Gu Qinghan waited for the Bone Spear’s cooldown, then condensed and threw it again, but it was collectively blocked by the well-prepared Professionals.

“Shoot them down!”

A group of ranged Professionals immediately unleashed their skills; colorful abilities flew towards the sky, like a fireworks display.

Kong Yan had wanted to unleash his skills the moment the opponents below made their move, but Gu Qinghan stopped him with a look.

“Brother, don’t try to be cool. With so many skills hitting us, can your big bird handle it?”

Gu Qinghan didn’t answer. He simply watched as the skills from below rapidly approached, then struck the giant Crow beneath his feet.

However, there was no expected scream, nor any scene of blood splattering.

This giant Crow instantly transformed into a mass of black feathers, scattering down towards the ground.

And from the black feathers, another black Crow flew out, this one slightly smaller than the one Gu Qinghan had been standing on before, steadily catching Gu Qinghan.

More feathers, like a black snow, fell upon the ground, upon the plaza that had already become a living hell.

Caw! Caw!

Ugly Crow cries instantly echoed in the air, and Crows of various sizes appeared in the night sky.

Some directly swooped towards the ground, while others circled in mid-air, dropping feathers to attack the Professionals below.

“What are these things?”

The Professionals below immediately cried out in alarm, but they still held their ground under the command of Captain Huang and Liu Song.

They tried to eliminate these suddenly appearing Crows, but found that the black feathers in the sky were increasing.

Meanwhile, Gu Qinghan in the sky had flown to a height beyond their attack range, as if he had deliberately allowed himself to be hit just now.

In fact, this was intentional on Gu Qinghan’s part.

If the Crow King were to shed feathers little by little, it would take a very long time to create a sky full of black feathers.

Thus, the black Crow he was initially standing on was formed from condensed black feathers.

He himself had almost fallen for it at the time, let alone these guys who had just had a companion killed.

The true Crow King was now perched on his shoulder at its normal size, utilizing its abilities.

Amidst the hoarse, unpleasant Crow cries, a sense of fear gradually began to well up in the hearts of some people on the ground.

Even though they knew the small Crows around them posed no threat, they would still strike them down when they flew by.

The result of this was an increasing number of black feathers in the sky, and simultaneously, the Crow cries around them grew louder.

Cui Rang glanced at the surrounding situation, then suddenly spoke with a smile:

“We have so many guests today. But it doesn’t matter, the more people who come, the more successful this sacrifice will be.”

He reached out and grabbed a subordinate whose face was filled with terror, directly throwing him into the blood-red formation outside.

Immediately, several blood-red glows entered his body, melting him into a mass of flesh and blood.

Cui Rang unleashed a skill towards the sky, and instantly a massive clock face pattern enveloped the area.

At the same time, he looked at the people around him and slowly said:

“The only person you need to fear is me, understand?”

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried an indescribable penetrative power, as if resonating in everyone’s soul.

Seeing the crowd finally calm down, Cui Rang nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, the surrounding black feathers, upon entering the clock face pattern released by Cui Rang, seemed to stop moving.

But looking closely, these feathers were only falling much slower, appearing somewhat as if they had stopped.

“Eight times slow motion. You are already in an invincible position.”

Cui Rang took over command, pointing at the giant Crow in the sky where Gu Qinghan was, and said:

“Unleash your skills towards that.”

Someone showed a difficult expression and said:

“Leader, our skills can’t reach that far.”

Cui Rang turned to look at him, and for a moment, this person seemed to see a hint of violent, blood-red light emanating from the other’s narrowed eyes!

He immediately covered his mouth and unleashed his skill in that direction.

“Liu Song, burn these feathers.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Song immediately acted, and fiery tongues of flame appeared, licking the black feathers in the air clean.

And the skills unleashed by these Professionals, under Cui Rang’s control, advanced as slow as snails.

Until a portion of the skills were stored, Cui Rang instantly changed the effect of his skill.

Time fast forward!

These skills instantly streaked across the night sky like bolts of lightning, even increasing their flight distance significantly.

Fortunately, Kong Yan was already prepared, directly throwing a wind vortex beneath their feet, sweeping away the skills that lacked power.

Gu Qinghan glanced at Kong Yan, then looked down at Cui Rang, the squinting-eyed man in the crowd.

This was their second meeting, but their first formal confrontation.

Kong Yan looked at the crowd below, who were still storing skills, and said to Gu Qinghan:

“This isn’t good. There are too many of them, and this Cui Rang’s ability is too strange.”

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow, looked at Kong Yan, and smiled:

“Too many people? In front of me, no one dares to say there are too many people.”

Kong Yan was almost in tears. He clasped his hands together and said to Gu Qinghan:

“Brother, let’s stop pretending. It’s just the two of us. Can you conjure up helpers out of thin air?”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the black feathers in the air transform into Crows over a meter long.

These Crows circled and flew to Gu Qinghan’s side, and then, on their backs, skeletons wielding giant Bone Crossbows abruptly appeared!

Counting them, there were at least sixty of them!
