Flowers bloom in the cold shadows

Looking at the other areas, Shen Zhong suddenly pointed at the light dot at the very top of the statue that had already broken through to the second corridor and said,

"However, this little fellow named Lin Yuan is also very fast."

"In less than half an hour, he has actually broken through to the second passage."

Lin Yandong nodded with a smile,

"This little fellow's combat power is extraordinary. If he can join up with the Assault Team, it will definitely speed up the clearing process."

"It's a pity. The Assault Team chose the area on the right; they will have to wait a while before they can meet up."

"I don't ask for anything else, as long as they can clear the level safely." Shen Zhong sighed,

"I just hope nothing goes wrong."

Before the words had even faded,

a powerful dark shockwave shot over from the distance, hitting the barrier and emitting a huge roaring sound.

Boom!

The defensive barrier, capable of withstanding 500,000 damage, was shattered in a single blow.

"Ice Wall, rise!"

Lin Yandong shouted angrily,

and eight thick ice walls exuding an icy aura appeared in front of everyone, blocking the aftermath of the dark shockwave.

"Who is it? How dare you attack within the city!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

A black figure appeared out of thin air above the city,

"To actually be able to block my Black Dragon Wave—you have some skill."

"Let me introduce myself: Xiao Jun."

"From the Dark Knight Guild."

The man named Xiao Jun was wearing a black robe, holding a codex imprinted with a purple skull in his hand. His expression was arrogant and unruly.

"Xiao Jun!"

"Level 56 Dark Archmage!"

"Why would he appear in Tianfeng City?"

Lin Yandong and the others looked at each other, shocked in their hearts.

Could the other party have come for Mu Tianxing?

Oh no!

Without any hesitation, a blue staff exuding cold air appeared in Lin Yandong's hand.

"I will hold him off. You all go quickly and notify the Demon Suppression Army, have Meng Zhan come to support immediately."

Lin Yandong's figure flashed, and he arrived in the air, face-to-face with Xiao Jun.

"Feast of Extreme Ice!"

The staff condensed an aura of frost capable of freezing all things. The space within a hundred meters around them turned into a world of ice.

"Trying to stall for time." A trace of disdain appeared at the corner of Xiao Jun's mouth.

"Your movements are too slow."

Xiao Jun pressed his left hand on the codex and pointed his right hand at Lin Yandong.

Vast dark energy condensed into a Dark Demon Dragon.

The Dark Demon Dragon roared at the sky,

"Roar!"

With a simple Dragon Breath, it instantly incinerated the icy world, and Lin Yandong was also seriously injured along with it.

If he hadn't activated his Ice Body and Magic Shield, Lin Yandong would have already died under Xiao Jun's dark Dragon Breath.

"Dark Imprisonment!"

Xiao Jun gently wiped his right hand over the codex, releasing a wide-range imprisonment spell.

Lin Yandong, Shen Zhong, and everyone including Cui Xianglong were imprisoned within a purple orb, unable to make any movements.

Only one person was an exception: the captain of the Law Enforcement Team, Liao Chen.

A silver cyclone flashed on Liao Chen's body, and his whole person was enveloped by a violent wind.

"Gale Instant Shadow Flash!"

Liao Chen turned into a gust of wind, invisible to the naked eye, and in an instant, arrived in front of Xiao Jun.

"Ora ora ora!"

In just 3 seconds, Liao Chen threw hundreds of punches. The violent wind from the punches was so piercing that one couldn't open their eyes.

This was how he got the nickname "Gale and Rainstorm."

Xiao Jun's robe was blown, flapping loudly.

"Fast speed, but the attack is too weak."

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Jun's mouth. A hideous demon phantom appeared behind him.

The demon stretched out its hand to grab, then squeezed hard.

Crack!

That was the sound of Liao Chen's bones shattering.

With a casual toss, Liao Chen fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

Xiao Jun's gaze swept over everyone present.

"Weak, too weak."

"The weak are simply not worthy of enjoying such a comfortable life."

"All of you, become blood food for the Dark Demon Dragon!"

Xiao Jun's face showed a look of madness. The codex in his hand bloomed with a rich purple light.

Evil, filthy, an unsettling aura swept in all directions.

"Sacrificial Array!" Lin Yandong was extremely horrified.

"The regional Dungeon before us was moved into the city by you!"

"Correct." Xiao Jun snapped his fingers, "But there is no prize."

The regional Dungeon before them was indeed Xiao Jun's doing.

The Dark Demon Dragon was a Level 60 Lord-level monster, residing in the Dragon Cave of the Demon Realm.

It was very difficult for the Dark Demon Dragon to break through the boundary and descend to the Blue Star. It might be besieged and killed by a team of powerful Professionals before it could even descend.

Therefore, Xiao Jun thought of a compromise.

First, open the boundary of a low-level regional Dungeon, and then use a sacrificial array to sacrifice the humans of a city as a medium, to briefly allow the Dark Demon Dragon to cross the boundary and descend to the Blue Star.

The Dark Demon Dragon promised that as long as he was allowed to descend to the Blue Star, in exchange, it would give its talent magic, SSS-rank Dark Annihilation, to Xiao Jun.

Thus, the incident of the regional Dungeon descending on Tianfeng City occurred.

This matter had nothing to do with Mu Tianxing, not even the high-level members of the Dark Knight Guild knew about it.

It was purely Xiao Jun's personal action.

If the high-level members of the Dark Knight Guild had known, they would have at least dispatched two Level 60 aces, instead of Xiao Jun coming here all by himself.

"Communicate with the Demon Realm, Sacrificial Array, open for me."

Xiao Jun had set up the sacrificial array in advance, just waiting for the moment the Dungeon boundary broke.

Although the regional Dungeon boundary hadn't opened yet, Xiao Jun was not panicked at all.

He had long since planted a mole within the Assault Team, ensuring nothing would go wrong.

Wanting to clear the regional Dungeon before them? Impossible.

As the range of the sacrificial array slowly expanded, a feeling of despair grew from the bottom of everyone's heart.

It was over. If Xiao Jun succeeded, Tianfeng City would probably become a thing of the past.

"Is it painful? Is it despairing? This is the true appearance of this world."

Xiao Jun said arrogantly, "This world should be ruled by the strong."

Suddenly, a biting sword aura was born out of thin air, icy and bone-chilling, making one's hair stand on end.

A white figure was seen speeding over from the dim sky, so fast that it was like a meteor streaking across the night sky.

A woman dressed in simple white combat attire, with light blue cloud patterns embroidered on her cuffs, appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Flowers Bloom, Cold Shadows!"

A cold voice rang out.

Xiao Jun's expression changed immediately.

"Black Dragon Armor!"

"Demon Skin!"

"Magic Shield!"

"Incarnation of Darkness!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jun threw out all his life-saving skills in an instant.

The sword light was brilliant.

A white branch appeared in the sky, instantly piercing through Xiao Jun's body.

The sword light was like a waterfall, and the branch was hung with white flowers.

Xiao Jun's whole body was wrapped within it, like a snow lotus blooming in the wind, incomparably beautiful.

Bang!

The snow lotus shattered, like a flash in the pan, only "stunning" could describe it.

With Xiao Jun's death, the Dark Imprisonment that bound everyone disappeared.

The woman's figure was light, her toes lightly touching the ground, and she landed steadily in front of the statue.

With her back to the crowd, the woman's slightly cold voice came,

"Where is Lin Yuan?"
