308: Chapter 307 Over a Hundred Escapes
"How is this possible?!"
"But it's strange to say, Elder Guo's body was originally getting weaker by the day, and he often needed to be hospitalized for rest. Those potions that could enhance the Physique of ordinary people had no effect on him at all. But recently, he suddenly recovered his health, and even his personality became different from the past, becoming more lively, as if he were several decades younger."
This scene falling into everyone's eyes was simply more shocking to those present than Jiao Hui turning into a Strange Creatures. It wasn't that in people's concepts, Elder Guo was stronger than Jiao Hui.
In fact, in people's impression, Elder Guo's physical fitness was merely that of an ordinary person, but he represented that small handful of people at the Peak of power.
Subject to various special protection measures and constant security detection checks, in such a situation, no one knew when he had been invaded by a Strange Creatures.
Then, in this world, where else is safe?
Under the shocked and inexplicable gazes of the people, they saw Elder Guo, who had already turned into a Strange Creatures, still with a dull face, like a string puppet, walking over step by step under Chu Xuan's cold gaze.
Chu Xuan raised his hand, a cluster of Fire of Nirvana emerging from his fingertips. With a seemingly nonchalant tap forward, it pierced through the other party's skull. The next second, black flames rose up, burning him completely to ashes.

"Senior Brother Shen, look..."
One of the guards came to Junior Brother Shen Guyun's side and spoke in a low voice.
These few people, including Junior Brother Shen Guyun, were all watching the scene not far away with uncertain expressions. Then they all turned their heads to look at the guard who had been injured by Chu Xuan's Slash and was now slowly getting up after taking a healing potion.
"Junior Brother Mo, that Elder Guo was under your care. Do you have any explanation?" Junior Brother Shen Guyun asked.
Mo Chengyun's pale face turned even whiter: "I really don't know. I've been keeping a close eye on this person and never let him out of my sight, but for some reason, it turned out like this... listen to my explanation..."
"It doesn't matter though."
Junior Brother Shen Guyun said thoughtfully: "The Night Watchers have now grasped most of the actual power. Times have changed. Even if these ordinary people die, it won't have much impact on the world situation. Our mission is almost complete. I will send a message back later and wait for further instructions."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen." Mo Chengyun showed gratitude, then asked: "Then what should we do next..."
"Let's watch the show." Junior Brother Shen Guyun crossed his arms, staring at Chu Xuan with gloomy eyes, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth: "I have a premonition that things won't end so simply."
The other guards beside him fell into slight contemplation.
At the same time, after Chu Xuan killed Elder Guo, Lin Jie pointed to three more people present and said coldly: "Brother Chu Xuan, all of these people must be killed. They are all hidden hands left by Revelation! If we didn't come here, they would have overcome all objections in a short while, united, and triggered a nuclear explosion in this place..."
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the few people pointed out by Lin Jie all changed slightly. They had thought that by hiding nearly a hundred meters deep underground, they would surely be safe and sound, avoiding the temporary disaster.
However, at this moment, this underground world had become a cage, leaving them nowhere to escape, only able to wait for death.
But in reality, even if this wasn't the underground world, it was impossible for these people to escape in front of Chu Xuan.
When Chu Xuan's calm gaze swept over, Heart Bewitchment stirred their emotions and affected their perception. Their consciousness roared, and they instantly turned into Strange Creaturess, then walked closer obediently, only to be killed one by one by Chu Xuan's finger taps, their spirituality completely absorbed by the Fire of Nirvana.

"To think so many high-level humans have turned into Strange Creaturess..."
Almost everyone present had become numb.
Chu Xuan continued to question Lin Jie: "What should we do next? Where are the remaining people?"
"There are probably two more people who didn't come here and escaped."
Lin Jie said in a low voice: "But the highest level here has been dealt with. The remaining two who slipped through the net are nothing. My sense of death crisis is almost gone."
"Where is Revelation? Can you sense it?" Chu Xuan suddenly asked.
Lin Jie frowned. The small half of Misty Qi remaining in the spirit pearl in his palm dissipated rapidly. When only a thin layer was left, he shook his head, his expression looking very strange.
"I saw many images. These images cover all parts of the country, from as far as the northwest border to as close as Yanjiao.
Revelation seems to possess a special ability to appear at any marked location. Each image is a way to find Revelation and eliminate it, totaling over a hundred images.
In other words, I have over a hundred ways to help you kill Revelation, but..."
Lin Jie's frown deepened, and his tone became even more peculiar: "But immediately after, in every image of killing Revelation, another possibility emerged—that every time, Revelation could find the best way to perfectly escape the ordeal. These various possibilities combined together, and in the end, it's a certainty, an inevitability..."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Killing Revelation over a hundred times, but each time the opponent has a chance to escape? In the images you sensed, did I kill him or not?"
"Killed, but also not killed..." Lin Jie's face flushed, and he finally squeezed out three words: "As if killed..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he paused, then sighed: "It's impossible to kill him now. The guidance given to me by Heaven's Secret shows that Revelation has completely disappeared. Without the source of the crisis, I can no longer sense it through Heaven's Secret..."
Chu Xuan's face darkened slightly.
In the end, the opponent had escaped.
However, he was already mentally prepared. Whether it was the [Future Tang Zheng] in the dream or Lin Jie before, both had said that Revelation was extremely difficult to kill.
At this time, Lin Jie looked at the remaining four elders and said in a peaceful tone: "Leaders, you have seen it too. As we said before, we are here to root out the spies among humans and to slay the Specters. Some unnecessary misunderstandings should be cleared up, right?"
The remaining four elders looked at each other, and then one of them, an elder surnamed Wang, sighed softly: "The Gloom Invasion, the rise of the supernatural—times have changed. From now on, it will depend on you young people..."
Before he could finish, at that moment, a voice like a great bronze bell suddenly descended from the sky.
"Elder Wang, you must never be deceived by these petty scoundrels and madmen!"
