Chapter 878 - End of the World (2/2)

After all, living in this generation, even his own heart was filled with despair. So how could he console this lady?

Sitting at the back, there was another middle-aged man. This one had on black-rimmed glasses, and he said, “Don’t worry. The direction should be right. As long as we find a safe zone, we won’t be needing to move for a long period of time.”

Just then, someone seated at the back shouted, “Look! Who is that?!”

At the ends of the horizon, a man stood with his legs suspended in midair. He was draped in black robes which fluttered with the wind, and his long black hair was like flames dancing wildly in the strong gales.

…

In less than one minute after Fang Xingjian disappeared from the spot he had appeared in, seven streams of light cut across the sky and stopped in the sky above the city that was already in a state of ruins.

An elderly man with white hair and a beard that was so long it reached his legs asked, “Has he left already?”

A beautiful young married lady, with a mesmerizing figure and long purple hair, smiled and said, “It seems that this person is very careful, unlike how some people who put up an ostentatious display the moment they arrived. In the end, they were almost beaten to death by the Divine Emperor.”

Hearing the beautiful married lady’s words, a man—who had a cold expression, skinny figure, and eyes that were like that of a snake’s—let out a cold snort. He said, “Zi Xing, don’t think that I won’t dare to beat you up and kill you.”

The young married lady named Zi Xing giggled, “Hehehehe. Snake King, you still can’t change your arrogant character. I’m really curious how someone like you has managed to survive till now and even reach tier four of the Divine level. You’re too lucky.”

“That’s enough.” Seeing that the two of them were still going to continue arguing, the white-bearded old man snorted, interrupting their conflict. He seemed to have a lot of authority amongst these people, and everyone shut up at his command.

Looking at the traces in the surroundings, the old man said, “It seems that our companion is really very careful and hasn’t left behind any traces.”

The cold-faced Snake King said calmly, “If he’s acting so warily, he’s probably not that strong. The Divine Emperor’s troops are getting increasingly terrifying, and their newly-created Vizor robots can already pose a threat to us.”

Hearing the Snake King’s words, everyone’s mood turned heavy. Ever since they came to this world in succession, they had always been living in the Divine Emperor’s shadow. They had gone through many great battles, but their battle results were getting increasingly worse.

It was because they were unable to attain a breakthrough in the Nine-Tiered Heavens, and their progressions were slow. On the other hand, the weapons of the Divine Emperor’s troops kept getting increasingly stronger. As time passed by, their situation got even more difficult.

At such a time, no one seemed to be too concerned over the newcomer’s situation. Only the white-haired elderly man sighed and said, “Everyone should make good use of time to cultivate after returning to the safe zone.”

He instructed his subordinates to get them to try look for that new companion. Then after finding him, they were to try their best to protect him and not let him get killed by the Divine Emperor.

At this crucial juncture, any additional battle prowess would be good. It was probably not long before the final battle would arrive.

Right after, the seven streams of light dissipated, and the entire city returned to silence. It was as if no one had come to this ruins before.

Elsewhere, Fang Xingjian appeared in the minibus with a flash.

“Ahhh!” As a shrill cry rang out, the minibus slipped and flipped to the side. However, Fang Xingjian clenched his palm slightly, and the minibus which was about to fly out stopped in midair.

Seeing the astonished gazes looking at him, Fang Xingjian said calmly, “I have some questions. How much do you guys know about the situation in this world?”

That female driver looked at Fang Xingjian, feeling both horrified and hopeful. She said, “Are you a martial arts practitioner from the Qiu Dao 1 Alliance[1]?”
