Chapter 294: Veil of Darkness (2/2)
The superior was confused. ”What?”
Suddenly, as if a veil covered over their eyes and divine sense, none of the men could see anything.
”What's happening, Superior. I can't see anything.”
”I can't use my divine sense to look at anything.”
”Did I go blind?”
”AAAHHH!”
One person cried out, and then he stopped. People who were close to that person stopped feeling his aura anymore. Not of his cultivation base, not of him as a human being.
The man disappeared as if he never existed. Without a shadow of a doubt in the other men's hearts, the man had died, and they couldn't see how.
Another person cried out as well and soon his voice vanished too. People started to get scared.
SWISH SWISH
A sound appeared as if some objects had been shot through the air towards the men.
”Arghh!” men cried out in pain but didn't stop speaking like the other time.
More and more attacks flew out into the air targeting the men. The men got scared of fighting with no sense and started sending out their own attacks everywhere as well.
”Stop!” the Superior shouted when he heard his men's scream.
The mindless attacks of the men were starting to hurt each other more than it was going anywhere close to hitting the main perpetrator.
”Stop fighting. Arghh— Stop,” the Superior shouted but the veil didn't lift. The sounds of people bleeding and dying kept ringing out from around him.
”Please stop! Don't kill my subordinates. I am the one you want, let them go!” The Superior cried out.
”Stop,” Ning softly said.
Suddenly, the veil lifted revealing Night and Blue there, but the people didn't care about them. When they finally could see what they did, they wished the veil hadn't lifted at all.
Half the people were dead on the ground, the other half wounded. The Superior himself wasn't well either. He seemed to have gotten hit by quite a few attacks as well.
Sadly, Most of the attacks were from their own people getting scared to die and attacking whatever sound they heard.
The Superior turned around to look at his remaining people, and how close to death they were. He then looked at people dead on the ground.
”I'm sorry, brothers. I… didn't think it would end this way. I thought my plan was foolproof, but it seems in all of my planning, I couldn't foresee the existence of this monster.”
The Superior then turned around towards Ning and said, ”Let my remaining people go and I will give myself up.”
Ning looked at him with cold eyes, but there was a tinge of humanity in them. The fact that he could kill them meant these people weren't innocents at all and were definitely guilty.
However, just because they weren't innocents didn't mean that they were the bad guy. Ning felt conflicted.
Finally, he made a decision and said.
”Sure. They can go, but…”
