184: Chapter 184 Level 3 Mutant

Zombies rushed into the circle in waves, but as one group entered, it gradually disappeared. At most, they could penetrate 10 to 20 meters inward.

"How can this be?" The Holy Son couldn't understand.

The red light had clearly weakened, so why hadn't its lethality decreased?

"Hmm? No, that's not right! The attack power must be coming from the ground!"

The Holy Son noticed something strange: all the zombies were slowly disappearing from bottom to top. First their feet disappeared, then they lost support and fell forward, and then their entire bodies vanished.

"Could there be something unusual about this ground?" The Holy Son guessed.

But that still didn't explain why the beetles died instead of disappearing.

"No, there's definitely something wrong with this ground!" The Holy Son suddenly remembered that he had entered the red light's range once at the very beginning. He hadn't been harmed at all then; he had merely been blocked by the dozen or so people in front of him.

"Stop attacking!" The Holy Son shouted.

The Holy Envoys quickly retracted the red curtain, panting heavily.

It seemed that controlling the red curtain also consumed a significant amount of physical energy.

The Holy Son took out a tube-like object, pulled a string, and a flare quickly shot into the sky.

After the flare exploded, it released an intense white light, instantly illuminating the entire city as bright as day. However, it only lasted for a very short time, and the sky soon darkened again.

He decided to attack from the air, but he clearly wasn't enough on his own. The 18 people on the other side were all Mutants, and it wouldn't be easy to deal with them.

So, he had to call for reinforcements.

"What? Planning to call for reinforcements? I advise you not to waste your energy. Turn back before it's too late and convert to the Red Lotus Sect," Qu Zhengping said with a smile.

"Hmph! Laugh all you want; you'll be crying later!" The Holy Son scoffed.

"Too bad, you won't get to see it! Attack!" Qu Zhengping said.

At Qu Zhengping's command, six Guardians flew out directly, attacking the Holy Son.

The Holy Son was not to be trifled with; if it were a one-on-one fight, he was clearly stronger than any of them. But simultaneously dealing with six people was a bit overwhelming.

"Ling Yue, you can't even handle a few small fries, what use are you!" Suddenly, a shout came from a distance.

Accompanying this shout, a Bearded Man instantly appeared before them.

At the same time, six sharp spears, resembling insect legs, simultaneously shot towards the six Guardians.

The spears were too fast, and the six people couldn't dodge in time, all of them being hit.

Because of the protection of their Combat Suits, the spears did not penetrate their bodies but rather bounced off after impact and fell to the ground, directly embedding themselves in the asphalt road.

All six Guardians suffered internal injuries from this strike and quickly retreated into the circle.

"Oh?" The Bearded Man let out a soft exclamation.

His spears were very sharp; logically, anyone hit by them should have been easily pierced. But he never expected that the people in front of him were fine.

"Master, your disciple has disgraced you!" The Holy Son, somewhat injured, endured the pain and bowed in salute.

The Bearded Man ignored him and looked at the crowd inside the circle.

"There's something strange about you! Honestly, how did you block my attack?" The Bearded Man asked.

"Who are you? The Red Lotus Sect is conducting business here; unauthorized personnel, retreat quickly!" Qu Zhengping said.

"Hahaha, interesting. A small sect established just a few days ago dares to act so arrogantly!" The Bearded Man was amused.

Qu Zhengping and his group felt uneasy upon hearing this.

"Who is this person? Why does he know the Red Lotus Sect was just established a few days ago?" Qu Zhengping had doubts in his heart, so he activated his Digital Eye and contacted Oriental Chen.

Oriental Chen roughly understood what had happened and, knowing that the Holy Son called this person 'Master,' guessed that he might be a higher-ranking figure in the Red Coat Sect, though he didn't know his strength level.

So, he issued an order for everyone to attack together and test the Bearded Man's capabilities.

"You rebels, you dare to slander the Red Lotus Sect? Prepare to die!" After receiving the order, Qu Zhengping no longer hesitated and attacked with the others.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourselves." The Bearded Man scoffed.

He lifted his hands, and the spears embedded in the ground trembled twice, then broke free from the ground and flew into the air.

Immediately after, eight more spears flew out from who knows where, making a total of 14, circling around the Bearded Man.

Seeing the 18 people approaching, the Bearded Man pointed at them, and all 14 spears flew out, attacking the crowd.

Although they weren't afraid of being pierced, the powerful impact would still injure them. They had no choice but to change direction and quickly dodge.

When these spears missed their target, the Bearded Man hooked his finger back, and the spears turned around and flew back.

Oriental Chen could tell from the technique displayed that this Bearded Man was definitely a Psychic Controller, and his level had already reached 3rd Order.

"Be careful, this is a 3rd Order Psychic Controller." Oriental Chen sent his assessment to Qu Zhengping.

"3rd Order!" Qu Zhengping was shocked to see the message.

They considered themselves early Mutants, yet they were still only 1st Order. They never expected that a 3rd-Order Mutated Individual had already appeared.
