158: Sudden attack, dawn will

Since the last rift, Yi Xin had experienced a lot, met a beautiful elf boss, and then, by chance, met the head of the Magic Guild.

They all had great “doubts” about this rift incident, and Yi Xin expressed that he would participate, especially in the investigation.

Yi Xin also exchanged “communication methods” with various big shots, which was equivalent to a magic communication stone.

However, this was more “advanced” than a magic communication stone; it was a magical creation, a type of magic technology.

Yi Xin came here based on intelligence from various forces' informants; someone had seen a Black Robed Man “summon” a rift here, but it failed.

This caused great concern.

It could basically be confirmed that the rift was a man-made event!

This prompted the various forces to immediately begin an investigation.

The small border town Yi Xin came to was called White Cliff Town.

It was named after a nearby mountain made of special white rocks.

Yi Xin arrived at this place and found the location mentioned by the “witness.”

“Hmm…” Yi Xin looked at the messy scene and a lingering rift aura.

“A rift did appear here… but… did it fail…?” Yi Xin frowned slightly. The thought that rifts could be controlled by humans sent an inexplicable shiver down his spine.

Such things as rifts, even so many powerhouses to this day, had failed to comprehend their mysteries.

But now they could be controlled by humans, and these events indicated that the person who wielded this power was someone who truly “wished for chaos in the world.”

He was absolutely not a benevolent person… he would definitely cause terrible consequences for the Gui Xu Realm!

Rifts themselves should not exist in this world!

Yi Xin suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

Immediately after, he sharply dodged to the side.

Whoosh!

Boom!!!

An unknown object slammed into where Yi Xin had been, producing a huge explosion accompanied by a shockwave, carrying a dark aura that struck Yi Xin.

Bang!

Yi Xin fell to The Ground, rolled a few times, and knelt on one knee, looking up in the direction from which the attacking energy had come.

“Oh? You can actually dodge… that surprises me a bit… Hmm… so it’s a Xu Heng person! No wonder…” A man enveloped in a Black Robe appeared there at some unknown point.

“Who are you?!” Yi Xin narrowed his eyes, looking at the newcomer. He slowly straightened his body, watching the other party warily, clearly sensing that the person meant him no good.

After all, without a word, the person had directly launched a sneak attack to kill him; Yi Xin did not believe the other party was greeting him.

“Since when did Xu Heng people also like to meddle in others’ affairs? Don’t you only like to pursue that so-called martial arts?” the Black Robed Man said to Yi Xin.

“You talk too much!” Yi Xin had no intention of wasting words with the other party: “Tell me, did you orchestrate the rift transfer?”

“Oh? How could I possibly manage such a grand project on my own!” the Black Robed Man scoffed.

“Indeed, it seems you are part of an organization…” Yi Xin smiled and said, “What is your organization called?”

“Tsk tsk~ It seems you’re not just a muscle-headed brute… But it doesn’t matter if I tell you, anyway, all preparations have been finalized… It’s time to announce our existence to the world!” the Black Robed Man said to Yi Xin, then raised his hand and removed his hood, revealing a face with two black marks like tear stains.

He was a male, appearing no older than twenty-five, with slightly pale skin, giving him a somewhat demonic feel… but he didn’t have pointed ears… clearly not a demon.

Moreover, his aura was completely different from that of a demon. Demons were not called demons because they were evil, but because of their magical power. Demons were born with powerful magic, and even innate demons could almost achieve immortality through magic, with a possibility of resurrection even after death.

And this guy in front of him clearly could not be a demon.

“I am Jegels, Candlelight of the Dawn Society…” Jegels said to Yi Xin.

“Dawn Society… Candlelight?” Yi Xin heard the other party’s words. Dawn Society, he had never heard of this organization before.

He was certain that he had been cultivating in the Gui Xu Realm for so long and had never heard of such an organization’s existence.

“That’s right, Candlelight~ Although I don’t want to say it, I can only be considered a small fry of the Dawn Society~ Alas, who told me to mess things up? I can only come here to clean up the mess… Candlelight, a faint light… a weak existence…” Jegels smiled slightly: “However, killing you is enough.”

With that, Jegels suddenly rushed towards Yi Xin.

Yi Xin was still listening to the other party’s words, analyzing various pieces of information and intelligence… Jegels’s sudden attack made Yi Xin snap back to reality.

Bang!

Jegels punched Yi Xin’s arms.

Yi Xin immediately felt a terrifying force transmit from his hands, accompanied by an extremely “greedy” corrosive energy.

Hiss~ The Qi within Yi Xin’s body circulated wildly, eliminating the “invaders” on his arms.

Yi Xin saw his arms sizzling and steaming, as if cold water had been poured onto a scorching hot iron plate.

“A little interesting~” Yi Xin suddenly smiled. This was the first time he had encountered such a power from an opponent… it was highly corrosive… Hmm… it seemed to have a hint of rift aura as well…

Dawn Society… What kind of organization could this be… and it’s related to rifts… even the power on his body carries the scent of a rift…

After one strike, Jegels looked at Yi Xin: “Oh my… I thought one punch would be enough to finish you off…”

Yi Xin listened to Jegels’s mocking words and expression, completely unmoved. To affect his mindset and emotions, this level of taunt was simply too poor.

Whoosh! Yi Xin suddenly rushed towards Jegels, taking the initiative!

[Vajra Smash]

Yi Xin threw a powerful punch.

Jegels felt the power in Yi Xin’s fist, but being even more confident in himself, he neither dodged nor avoided, directly meeting the blow head-on.

He also threw a punch, and it met Yi Xin’s fist.

Bang!

Boom!!!

The Ground beneath Jegels’s feet instantly cracked, and he felt a terrifying immense force from the punch, and that Qi carried an extremely pure power.

Jegels, having suffered a minor setback, retreated several steps, glanced at his slightly trembling hand, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yi Xin frowned. Although he had repelled the opponent and seemingly gained the upper hand, his fists were sizzling. The other party’s power was too bizarre.

Moreover, it was corrosive, not aggressive, but corrosive, carrying a decaying force.

Yi Xin had to use a large amount of Qi to “eliminate” it.

No matter what, finish this quickly! Take him down!

Yi Xin’s gaze sharpened, and he suddenly extended both hands.

[Updates this month won't be too frequent; my main focus is on the Pokémon novel, which will conclude this month, or at the latest, next month. Then I can properly update this book. Of course, I also need to start thinking about a new book… However, this time, the new book probably won’t be out so quickly; I need to polish it thoroughly first. So, this book should be able to reach over six or seven hundred thousand words… It depends on its performance; I’ll persevere.]
