THUMP THUMP—

THUMP THUMP—

The three of them had tense expressions, and they could almost clearly hear their own heartbeats.

Once the Crow God's envoy entered the public safety zone, that meant... it was time for them to sacrifice themselves for Sum Country.

Finally... the red dot entered the range of Burnt Rock City.

The three of them looked grim, preparing to lead their team out to resist.

However, the next second...

The red dot on the map suddenly veered, bypassing the urban area and heading rapidly towards the desolate eastern outskirts.

PHEW—

Gao Qing and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, their brows furrowed again.

"He's acting so recklessly and ostentatiously. If he's not coming to Burnt Rock City to cause trouble, what is he planning?"

"Perhaps he's afraid. The Skytop Sword can effortlessly strike down beings at the Divine Envoy Level..."

"Can we activate the Heavenly Eye to see the actual image of the scene?" the long-haired man asked his crew-cut comrade.

The latter shook his head. "The Heavenly Eye can only roughly monitor Evil Energy Fluctuations of a certain intensity. This is the Old City Circle, after all; it's already beyond the Heavenly Eye's monitoring range. We can only resort to the satellite monitoring of the Old City Circle... but that's easily affected by Evil Energy Fields and prone to failure."

"So, you're saying we can't see anything at all, is that right?"

"Mm, the Evil Energy Fields from ordinary Divine Servants and Strong Divine Servants already cause significant interference, let alone an entity at the Divine Envoy or even Strong Divine Envoy level."

Gao Qing stared at the red dot on the map, watching it move further and further away.

He glanced up at the sky outside the window. It had grown much darker, looking as if it might rain at any moment.

He spoke, "We'll follow it and see."

The two White Bear Guards looked at Gao Qing with some surprise, but they quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright."

This was, after all, their duty as White Bear Guards.

The three of them quickly boarded a Fly Shuttle.

The silver-grey Fly Shuttle shot out from the heart of the city.

Standing inside the Fly Shuttle, they could see clearly.

Above Burnt Rock City, a multitude of crows were all heading in the same direction.

Is this all due to the influence of that Crow God's envoy?

To think that merely the fluctuations of his own evil force could provoke such a phenomenon, causing so many crows to leave their nests...

It seems this Crow God's envoy is even more terrifying than they anticipated.

The expressions of the three grew somewhat grave.

"Target tracked. It's heading towards the Tiger Head Mountain scenic area and reservoir, east of the city. Its speed appears to be decreasing..."

"Approach it."

"Yes, sir!"

The three stared intently at the scene ahead through the Fly Shuttle's window.

Once the Fly Shuttle left the urban area, it quickly neared the target location.

Finally... the entity that had struck fear into their hearts was fully revealed to them.

A black cloud! A cloud composed entirely of Death Qi was inching towards the summit of Tiger Head Mountain.

It looked as if... it intended to slowly devour the forest below.

Crows filled the sky, circling...

「Meanwhile.」

Lu Yuan, who was researching the deeper applications of Death Qi, suddenly stilled his hands.

It was as if he had sensed something.

Slowly, he lifted his head and squinted his eyes.

He saw a dense black cloud approaching in the distance, gradually obscuring what little daylight remained.

The countless crows roosting in the forest also began to stir, their calls growing increasingly clamorous.

"It's here..."

Lu Yuan's expression was calm. His body and mind had reached an unprecedented peak state.

This was a battle to which he had been invited.

Next, it was time to enjoy this fight.

He leisurely donned his Moon Snatching Gloves and the crow mask of the Crow God Sect.

Slowly, he rose to his feet.

CRACK! CRACK!—

Accompanied by a series of crisp bone-cracking sounds, he entered the initial stage of [Special Burst], a state of refined muscle control.

His entire body seemed to swell slightly.

He grew from his original 1.87 meters to 1.9 meters.

His fair, well-proportioned, tall, and slender physique became fuller and more robust.

Beneath his skin, veins bulged faintly.

He stood barefoot on the bluestone slab.

Then... he took a deep breath.

BOOM!

A massive torrent of black Death Qi surged forth, enveloping Lu Yuan's entire body, resembling a pillar of black wolf smoke soaring straight into the sky.

In an instant, countless black crows in the forest were startled into taking flight, flapping their wings wildly and leaving the surrounding area utterly deserted!

Gao Qing and the other two were still reeling from the display of the Crow God's Envoy's immense power, and wondering about the purpose of his long journey to this place.

Suddenly, BOOM!

From the Tiger Head Mountain forest before them, a pillar of black Death Qi wolf smoke violently erupted upwards.

Their pupils contracted instantly.

They exchanged glances, their faces filled with mutual shock.

Visible on each other's faces... was nothing but shock, astonishment, and horror.

Another Crow God's envoy?

So... this is actually a battle within the Crow God Sect, between two Divine Envoys, or perhaps even Strong Divine Envoys?!
