Chapter 2583: Chapter 2585: All the Experts Vanished Without a Trace
At the same time.
The first batch of Marrow-Cleansing Phase experts approached the neighborhood simultaneously from all directions.
The fastest were the demon wolf brothers from the east.
There were thirteen people in total.
They quickly arrived near the neighborhood.
"The opportunity has come! The others haven’t arrived yet, these two billion gem coins are ours!"
The thirteen people were extremely excited.
Originally, they came rather late.
They were worried about not getting a share of the spoils.
Unexpectedly, none of the others had taken action.
This was great.
However, just as they were about to enter the neighborhood.
A man with a blood sword appeared.
His entire being emanated an incomparably terrifying killing aura.
"Who?"
They barely uttered a single word.
In the next moment, they lost consciousness.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
...
With just one encounter, thirteen people almost simultaneously lost consciousness.
At that time, in the west, dozens of people were devoured, leaving only dried husks.
This was clearly the handiwork of the Demon God Heavenly King Shura.
In the south, dozens of people also died.
Each had a small knife scar on their throat.
This was the signature of the Evil God Heavenly King Yaksha.
In the north, the area was guarded by the King of Chujiang.
The King of Chujiang’s fighting style was somewhat similar to Xiao Chen’s, open and expansive.
There were basically no corpses along his path.
Because the dead had turned into blood mist.
Bai Longzi and Han Qiu were both conducting guerilla warfare inside and outside the city.
The people killed by Han Qiu turned into fragmented ice.
Those killed by Bai Longzi appeared as if clawed by a dragon.
It was very strange.
The number of people quickly dwindled.
Over ten thousand...
Over nine thousand...
...
Over one thousand...
Zero...
As the count dropped to zero, over ten thousand martial artists vanished.
Not a single person entered the neighborhood.
Xiao Chen sighed and said, "Enough, you guys, can’t you leave one for me? I waited in vain."
"Hehe, Boss, just rest well. With us here, they won’t come over. It’s difficult indeed."
Bai Qi laughed.
Even the Ultimate Fist King was quite frustrated.
He also wanted to flex his skills tonight.
But he didn’t encounter a single person.
Amidst the tension, there was also some disappointment.
Night fell.
The Heavenly God Group’s Tianhai City branch was brightly lit.
Lei Hong and others were starting to lose patience.
Half an hour had already passed.
Yet there was no news whatsoever.
More than ten thousand martial artists seemed to have vanished without a trace?
Chen Shumei went to bed.
She was an ordinary person and didn’t want to stay up late.
Moreover, she felt there was no need to wait for this kind of thing.
Since there’s nothing to see anyway.
What’s the point of waiting?
"Elder Bai, why don’t we send someone to observe the situation?"
Lei Hong felt a bit anxious.
"Stay calm, failure is impossible."
Bai Tingjun smiled and said, "Over ten thousand experts.
It’s just Xiao Chen.
Even if he could kill Hei Ming and Hei Tian.
This time there are more than a dozen True Qi Phase experts involved.
Failure is impossible."
"Indeed!"
Lei Hong nodded in agreement.
How could they possibly fail?
Moreover, they certainly shouldn’t lose composure now.
They didn’t want the War God King to target them, so they shouldn’t get involved directly.
Everyone continued to wait, and after three full hours, it was midnight.
Yet still, there was no news.
Nothing new on the Jianghu web either.
At this point, it wasn’t just Lei Hong and others who were anxious.
Even Bai Tingjun felt panicked.
Could it be? Could it be?
Could something really have gone wrong?
This was simply impossible.
He couldn’t accept it.
Something was very wrong.
"Perhaps it’s because these folks were fighting over credit, leading to internal strife.
After all, it’s two billion gem coins.
With too many people, each person would get little.
It must be something like that."
Lei Hong analyzed.
"True, with over ten thousand people.
After dividing, each wouldn’t get much.
If fewer people share, then there’d be more money for each.
This gang likes that kind of thing."
Bai Tingjun also totally agreed with this possibility.
So, everyone kept waiting.
An hour passed.
It was already dawn.
Still no activity.
Many people began to harbor bad premonitions.
Elder Bai’s eyelid had been twitching continuously.
He had previously felt there might be some trouble, could it really have gone wrong?
"Impossible!"
Elder Bai stood up, looking grim.
"Send someone to check, be careful!"
He finally ordered.
Immediately, an expert beside him left.
Half an hour passed again.
From outside came hurried footsteps: "Incident, incident!
Major incident!"
The expert returned.
His face showed an expression of terror.
"What happened, don’t rush, speak slowly!"
Bai Tingjun asked.
The person caught his breath.
Took a sip of water, then said with a face full of terror: "I just patrolled the entire city.
Even risked going to Xiao Chen and Huang Ruiyi’s neighborhood.
But, but didn’t see a single person.
Those over ten thousand martial artists seemingly vanished into thin air.
Completely disappeared!"
Disappeared!
Everyone was stunned.
Like they had been hit by frost, each person wilted.
How was this possible, so many living experts just disappeared?
Who could accomplish this?
Bai Tingjun found it unbelievable.
The others were even more bewildered.
"How could they disappear? Even if killed, there should still be corpses."
Lei Hong asked in astonishment.
"I’m baffled too, but I really drove everywhere to look.
No one, not a single one.
Yet, I observed many places carefully.
Indeed, there are signs of battle.
The average person couldn’t notice.
But I could tell.
Yet I can’t figure it out.
Who on earth?
Could have disposed of those experts in such a short time and also handled it neatly?
It was like seeing a ghost!"
The expert said with an equally terrified expression.
Bai Tingjun’s face turned white as a sheet: "It must be him who acted!
Definitely him.
Only his intervention would be so clean.
This Xiao Chen, how could he be so lucky?
No wonder he chose to live in Tianhai City, it turned out to be for this reason.
I misjudged."
"Elder Bai means that person?"
Lei Hong also realized.
Because there was indeed an influential person in Tianhai City.
Only he could achieve this.
They hadn’t considered Xiao Chen at all.
Since Xiao Chen’s individual strength, while formidable.
Was unlikely to accomplish this.
"War God King!"
Bai Tingjun gritted his teeth: "We did indeed provoke the War God King, he still acted.
Truly a thunderous method.
I bet last time Bai Xingjian also encountered the War God King.
So, he wouldn’t dare come to Tianhai City."
"Indeed, Elder Bai, it must be the War God King!
Absolutely!"
Lei Hong ground his teeth: "Previously, several incidents in Tianhai City were all the War God King’s doing.
The War God King is terrifying.
Fortunately, we didn’t get involved, only posted a bounty.
Otherwise, we’d be finished too."
