353: Chapter 353 The Faceless Man Appears and Sends a Fifth-Rank Grandmaster Flying Away with One Strike!

A single phrase awakens the dreamer!

The more than fifty team members, who had been noisy just moments ago, froze in their tracks and fell silent the moment they heard Qin Zhuo's exclamation.

Only then did everyone react, turning their gazes in unison toward Xiao Li, who was sitting inside the white light shield, still panting heavily.

Five seconds. Ten seconds. Half a minute passed.

The white shield, symbolizing elimination, was still glowing steadily.

However, the white light of the extraction teleportation that should have followed immediately was nowhere to be seen!

Xiao Li was like a hamster trapped in a glass jar, firmly stuck in place with no sign of being teleported out of the secret realm!

"Hiss!!!" A scalp-numbing sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed across the Gobi Desert.

"The secret realm... the secret realm is having problems again!" "The teleportation array has failed! We can't get out!"

Panic spread through the crowd like a plague, exploding instantly.

If the jade token could only block damage but not send people out, then this thing was at best a coffin waiting for death!

Once the shield's energy was exhausted, or if they encountered a monster capable of breaking it, getting killed here would mean real death!

"All units, on guard!!!" Qin Zhuo snatched off her baseball cap and sunglasses, her beautiful eyes swirling with unprecedented gravity.

She spread her hands, and the pure gold Divine Phoenix Undying Fire erupted, illuminating the space for dozens of meters around.

Zhao Zhenlei's muscles tightened, his Tier 5 Absolute Mass gravity field expanding without reservation, cracking the ground inch by inch.

The reason these two top geniuses were so on edge was that, at this moment, they both felt a terrifying aura that made their very souls tremble!

"What is that?!" Zhao Zhenlei's hair stood on end as he stared fixedly at the void directly in front of him.

Under the terrified gazes of all the team members, the space dozens of meters ahead, on the previously empty Gobi Desert, seemed to be torn open by a dull blade.

A thick black mist, as dense as dripping ink, surged out from the fissure. Amidst the rolling black clouds, a slender figure in black hovered silently in mid-air.

He wore a wide, black hooded trench coat. On his face was a pale, featureless Faceless Man mask.

He looked down at this large team of over fifty people from a position of superiority.

Clearly, he was not emitting any violent spiritual power fluctuations, yet that sense of an abyss staring back, as if he were above the laws of this world, made everyone present feel a suffocating pressure.

In this originally desolate Gobi Desert, even the wind had come to a complete standstill.

The more than fifty elite geniuses from various schools, who were usually arrogant and proud, were now like a group of quails frozen in ice, their hands trembling even as they gripped their weapons.

They dared not move. Because that masked figure in black robes was just floating silently in mid-air, holding a piece of bamboo with faint purple electric arcs dancing on it, like a grim reaper judging life and death.

"Playing god and acting like a ghost!" The first to break the deathly silence was Zhao Zhenlei of the Northern Border Military Academy.

This Tier 5 early-stage war machine could not tolerate the humiliation of being looked down upon as prey. His eyes widened, his knotted muscles suddenly expanded, and dark golden combat aura soared into the sky!

"I don't care if you're human or a ghost, if you dare to block my path, you must die!" Boom!

The Gobi ground beneath Zhao Zhenlei instantly collapsed, and he transformed into a heavy armor-piercing projectile leaving the barrel, charging straight at the Faceless Man in mid-air with a sonic boom that tore through eardrums.

SSS-rank Supernatural Ability [Absolute Mass] fully activated!

This punch concentrated the full foundation of a Tier 5 Grandmaster, with the gravity field compressed onto the fist, causing even the surrounding light to visibly distort.

Before the punch even arrived, the overwhelming force of the wind had already stung the cheeks of everyone below.

However, facing this terrifying blow capable of smashing a small mountain, the Faceless Man in mid-air did not even make a move to dodge. He merely raised his left hand slightly.

"Whoosh—" Just as Zhao Zhenlei's heavy fist was about to smash into the mask, the void in front of the Faceless Man's palm suddenly split open, and a mass of thick, ink-like black clouds, resembling a giant abyss mouth, instantly blocked the space between them.

"Break for me!" Zhao Zhenlei roared repeatedly, his fist slamming fiercely into the black clouds.

But the collision sound he expected did not ring out. The thousand-ton force, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, was like a clay ox entering the sea the moment it touched the black clouds, not stirring up a single ripple.

The black mist was like the softest swamp in the world, winding up his arm, crazily stripping away all the force from his fist, and even generating a terrifying spatial pulling force, attempting to swallow his entire arm!

"What?!" Zhao Zhenlei was shocked; this feeling of hitting empty air and suffering a backlash made his chest heave with turbulent blood flow.

Before he could pull back to retreat, a cold light flashed in the Faceless Man's dead fish eyes, hidden beneath the mask. He raised his right hand casually.

The zixiao thunder bamboo traced a graceful half-moon arc in mid-air, carrying violent purple lightning that crackled with a "zizi" sound, and struck Zhao Zhenlei's chest without mercy.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Zhao Zhenlei's chest, known for being invincible in physical body among the same tier, was actually dented by an inch from this strike of the bamboo.

The purple lightning crazily surged into his body through the wound, shocking him into a spasm. This giant of a man, over two meters tall, came fast but went even faster.

He was like a meteor knocked flying, slamming back to the ground at twice the speed he arrived, plowing a deep trench a hundred meters long across the Gobi Desert, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

"Captain Zhao!" The more than fifty team members below gasped in horror. One move! In just a single exchange, the dignified Tier 5 Zhao Zhenlei was swatted away like a fly?

"Everyone scatter! This guy is not right!" In mid-air, Qin Zhuo's sharp cry rang out across the entire field!

Knowing the terror of the enemy before her, she dared not hold anything back. The pure gold Divine Phoenix Undying Fire erupted from her body, and she transformed into a noble yet violent fire phoenix. With a flap of her wings, the scorching high temperature instantly caused the surrounding air to twist and boil.

"Divine Phoenix, Burning Heaven Feathers!" Qin Zhuo formed hand seals, and hundreds of flame feathers condensed from the source golden flames, like an airtight meteor shower, covering the sky and earth as they enveloped the Faceless Man.

Every single fire feather contained a terrifying high temperature capable of melting Tier 4 weapons. Facing this sky full of fire rain, the Faceless Man still kept one hand in his trench coat pocket, his posture as straight as a pine.

He lifted his mask slightly, and the zixiao thunder bamboo in his right hand casually twirled in mid-air. "Boom!"

With the Faceless Man as the center, large swaths of ink-colored gas clouds surged out like a geyser. These black clouds were not evaporated by the Divine Phoenix Fire but instead transformed into chains of pitch-black, weaving and intersecting in mid-air, actually weaving into a giant spatial net in an instant!

Those golden fire feathers, capable of melting steel, were forcibly distorted, swallowed, and transferred by the laws of space the moment they fell into the black cloud net.

One second they were above the Faceless Man's head, and the next second they fell from another void dozens of meters away, smashing into the empty ground in the distance, not even touching a corner of his clothes!

"What kind of bizarre spatial ability is this?" Qin Zhuo gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. Her Divine Phoenix Fire burned everything, but today she had encountered this rogue fighting style that wouldn't even give you a physical target!

"I'll help you!" From the ruins, Zhao Zhenlei let out an angry roar and rose from the ground once again.
