Chapter 478: The Shadow Old Man

“Has he already arrived here?”

Standing on the spot, feeling the direction of the divine power seed, Chen Heng muttered to himself. From what he could sense, a strange aura rose in the distance, giving people a vague sense of foreboding.

At this moment, Lu Yao seemed to have been followed by someone. Chen Heng raised his head and saw a patch of purple rising in the air. The initially strong power of Destiny seemed to be shaking. They must have already encountered a crisis. Lu Yaoshould has encountered quite a bit of trouble at this moment.

Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then stopped and walked forward. Behind him, Jiang Wen looked at Chen Heng’s actions and was a little confused.

“Sir?”

She looked at Chen Heng’s actions and was a little puzzled. However, after hesitating for a moment, she resolutely followed after him. The two of them slowly walked forward to another empty area. The area in front of them looked very spacious.

The place looked like it should be a plaza. It could be seen that this place should have been vivacious before. Many shops were standing around. All of them had closed their doors at this moment. There were no pedestrians around, and no shops were open, which made the area look a little desolate.

Chen Heng walked to this place and then looked forward. There, a few figures were faintly discernible. They passed through that place, and their positions were constantly changing at this moment. But vaguely, they were heading towards this place. Chen Heng felt the movement, and he calmed his heart down.

In front of them, two figures were shuttling through the area at high speed. Ye Zi pulled Lu Yao along as they walked through the area at high speed. At this moment, her expression became somewhat unsightly.

“The power in my body is gradually weakening…”

Behind her, Lu Yao’s expression was a little ugly. At this moment, she said softly, looking a little weak. From just now until now, it was as if they had been affected by some unknown power. The power in their entire bodies was gradually weakening. Even their life force weakened as if they had been sucked away by something.

Clearly, in the small alley just now, the two had been tampered with. At this moment, there were already some things on their bodies. Lu Yao’s expression was weak. At this moment, the aura in her body was somewhat declining, and her strength was continuously declining.

Of course, Ye Zi was not much better. At this moment, the aura on her body was also extremely weak. However, her strength was much stronger than Lu Yao’s, so she could still barely hold on. She managed to pull Lu Yao and run forward.

As for Lu Yao, she had already reached her limit. To put it bluntly, with her current strength, if she did not have the power of the Golden Mark as support, she would probably have already died.

That strange power was so overbearing, forcefully absorbing their bodies’ power and life force.

“I can’t continue like this!”

Feeling the power in her body gradually disappearing, Ye Zi gritted her teeth, and this thought flashed through her mind. Compared to Lu Yao, who was still somewhat at a loss, Ye Zi could undoubtedly see the situation even more clearly.

She understood that they had probably not escaped at all. They had already fallen into the trap in the alley just now, and someone had planted a curse mark in their bodies.

If they did not get rid of the mark, then the power in their bodies would continue to weaken, and they might even be directly sucked to death by the curse. To continue running like this was equivalent to committing suicide. In the end, both of them would die.

The only solution was to take advantage of the fact that they still had the power to turn around and kill that person. As long as they killed that person, the curse mark would lose the support of its power, and it would naturally lift and disappear.

But if they did that, they would undoubtedly be playing right into that person’s hands. That person who wanted to plant the mark and cast the curse on them was probably to probably force them to turn back and fight it out.

They had two options, and it seemed like regardless of which option they chose would lead to the same dead end.

At this moment, these two words appeared in Le Zi’s mind. Even she was feeling a little helpless at this moment. She had the curse mark on her body, and there were powerful pursuers behind her. She could not see the slightest hope of escaping if this went on. Sooner or later, they would die. But even so, she could not give up.

As she ran, she turned around and looked behind her. Behind her, Lu Yao’s face was pale. At this moment, she looked extremely weak, like a person who had suffered a severe illness. But even so, the power of the Golden King was still spreading within her body, supporting her life.

Looking at Lu Yao, Yezi decided in her heart.

“I can die, but my king must live…”

This thought flashed through her mind, and then she made a decision. She sped up and ran forward desperately. Behind them, a shadow passed by. At this moment, it followed them at a steady pace, like a cat catching a mouse. Very quickly, they arrived at an empty plaza.

“My king…”

After arriving here, Ye Zi took a deep breath. She was about to ask Lu Yao to escape alone. At this moment, she was already prepared to die here. But at this moment, an accident occurred.

In front of her, an unknown aura appeared. Following that, a figure slowly appeared. This was the figure of a young man. He was standing there, and from its looks, he seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. And this figure was none other than someone they were familiar with.

“Brother!”

Behind Yezi, Lu Yao was also stunned. She looked at the figure in front of her and stood rooted to the ground, almost shouting out. Fortunately, she finally remembered her situation at the critical moment and quickly reacted.

‘Why was her brother here?’

This thought flashed through Lu Yao’s mind. Compared to her, Yezi, who was beside her, reacted faster.

“The people who are pursuing us in this area are all from the Garrison Department… And your brother is also one of them…”

In other words, Lu Yao’s brother was also one of the people who had come to hunt them down. This result made Lu Yao freeze on the spot, not knowing what to say.

Should she tell the truth directly?

But at this moment, they were not in their actual appearance. Moreover, the pursuers behind them were still there. If they opened their mouths, would they hurt her brother?

And behind them, the shadow gradually became clear and was already standing behind them. The shadow looked at Lu Yao and Chen Heng in front of him and Chen Heng. A sinister smile appeared on his face. “It looks like the two of you have nowhere to run…”

“Stay obediently…”

He let out a cold smile then continued to walk forward.

“Sir, we’re going to be rich…”

Standing beside Chen Heng, Jiang Wen looked at Lu Yao and Ye Zi, who were standing in a daze. She could not help but show excitement on her face. To her, this was like a free lunch coming from the sky. She originally thought that it was just an ordinary patrol, but she didn’t expect to have the chance to complete an important task.

As a child of the higher-ups, she had some understanding of their allies in this searching operation. The person opposite them was one of their allies. He was a Level Four expert, proficient in mental curses. He was extremely difficult to deal with, even among the Level Four experts. And the two people he was chasing were the obvious targets of this operation.

After successfully capturing the target, although most of the credit would go to the other party, as the helpers, they would probably be able to obtain a lot of credit and receive a large number of rewards. Thinking of the reward given by the officials, Jiang Wen could not help but become excited.

At this moment, the shadow in front of them gradually approached. He slowly arrived behind Lu Yao and Ye Zi. A hand was already stretched out, slowly clawing at Lu Yao’s neck.

Lu Yao and Lu Yao seemed to be unaware of all this. At this moment, their entire bodies were frozen in place. A terrifying sense of danger emerged in their hearts. On Lu Yao’s forehead, a Golden Mark was flashing. It seemed to have sensed something and was exerting force. And this was clear proof of her identity.

Looking at the Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s head, the person in the shadows revealed a smile, and his expression unconsciously became even more ferocious.

In the next moment, everything in the surroundings came to a standstill. A soft sound came from this place and spread out. A slender hand reached out and grabbed that pale and skinny arm. Then, the surroundings spun as if everything had returned to its original state. The cold force field faded away and was dispelled by an unknown force.

Phew.

Lu Yao immediately broke free from her previous state. At this moment, her face was filled with fear. Just now, she had truly felt the danger of death. If someone had not blocked that person at the crucial moment, she might really have died.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked behind her. Behind her, Chen Heng’s figure appeared. At this moment, he had already passed her and stood in front of the shadow.

At this moment, his arm had already reached out and grabbed the arm that the shadow had reached out. The scene was silent for a moment, and it seemed a little quiet.

After a long while, the shadow reacted and looked at Chen Heng in front of him. His expression became cold. “What are you doing?

“The target is behind you, not me.”

“Sorry.”

Hearing the shadow’s words, Chen Heng was silent for a moment. Then, he chuckled. “Compared to the two ordinary children behind me, you look more like a terrorist.

“Now, please come with me.”

“Terrorist…”

The shadow’s voice became colder. “Do you know what you are talking about?”

Terrorist.

The spiritual curse he cast and his appearance made him obvious as a terrorist. But in the past, no one dared to call him that, let alone come and hunt him down.

If a terrorist were weak, he would be a criminal that everyone would beat up. But if he were strong enough, he would be an honored guest. It had been a long time since he had seen someone as stubborn as Chen Heng in his long life.

Boom!

The air started to boil, and faint shadows appeared in all directions. They were dancing like dragons and snakes, trying to swallow Chen Heng. Terrifying true spirit power bloomed and swept across the area in just an instant, suppressing everyone.

A gentle breeze blew, blowing the black robe of the shadow down, revealing the face of a cold old man. At this moment, the old man looked at Chen Heng coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.

In just an instant, the strength of a Level Four General was revealed without a doubt. At the back, Jiang Wen’s heart was filled with fear looking at the scene in front of her and feeling the energy that spread out.

The situation had changed too quickly, to the point that even she could not react in time. She really did not know why Chen Heng would suddenly attack that person.

This would result in death!

At this moment, her own fate was bleak. Chen Heng’s strength was very strong. It was said that he had already reached the peak of Level Three. However, Level Three was still Level Three. It was definitely not on the same level as Level Four.

Not to mention that the Shadow Old Man in front of her was not an ordinary Level Four. Instead, he was a terrifying expert that was close to the peak of Level Four.

When such an expert attacked, it was impossible for Chen Heng to survive. And when that time came, it was likely she would escape death as Chen Heng’s follower. Sooner or later, she would be finished off.

“It’s over…”

In an instant, she was completely disheartened. However, the change in the situation was much faster than her own thoughts. In front of her, a terrifying power was blossoming.

Facing the Shadow Old Man’s outburst, Chen Heng’s expression was very calm throughout the event. An invisible snake was spreading toward his body in the surrounding space as if wanting to devour Chen Heng.

However, the moment these invisible things came into contact with Chen Heng’s body, they were completely destroyed and directly dispersed. They were completely unable to obstruct anything. They couldn’t even touch him, not to mention killing him.

A crisp sound rang out. Then, a terrifying might blossomed. At this moment, Chen Heng’s body arched slightly, and a silver light flashed in his eyes. The boundless power turned into a true pressure as he charged forward.

Silver brilliance!

Within Chen Heng’s body, along with Chen Heng’s explosion, a pure and powerful true spirit blossomed, bringing a violent power as it smashed forward, contained within Chen Heng’s attack.

Bang!

In a short instant, everything in the surroundings changed. In the surroundings, buildings began to collapse, and broken stones flew out one after another, rushing towards the horizon. Faintly, a small-scale storm formed. At this point, it erupted, completely negating the old man’s aura.

Level Four!

Everyone present was silent. Whether it was Lu Yao, Ye Zi, or Jiang Wen, who had been terrified before, they were stunned at this moment. They hadn’t expected this outcome at all.

“How is this possible!”

Ye Zi was shocked. As she looked at Chen Heng’s back, she felt a little incredulous for the first time. “How long has it been? How could he…”

Ye Zi’s past strength was above Level Four. She had once been through this stage, and it was precisely because of this that she understood how difficult it was for a normal person to reach this stage.

To put it bluntly, she had seen many geniuses in the starry skies before, and she had also seen many young and famous experts. However, she had never seen someone like Chen Heng who had broken through in such a short period and possessed the strength of an ordinary person at such a young age.

“Brother…”

Lu Yao, who was at the side, was also somewhat shocked. She did not know what to say at this moment. However, at this moment, the two of them had already reacted.

Ye Zi pulled Lu Yao and decisively ran away again. They headed into the distance and soon disappeared from this place.

“The captain is actually a Level Four!”

Not far away, Jiang Wen looked at Chen Heng and Ye Zi, who were fighting in front of them. She was also somewhat in disbelief. At this moment, she didn’t know what to say.

She was the daughter of the higher-ups of the Black Dream Group, so she was very familiar with the situation within the organization. Even within the Black Dream Group, a Level Four’s existence was sufficient to become a higher-up. Other than a few people, no one could suppress them.

The Black Dream Group paid so much attention to Chen Heng before because he had shown amazing talent at such a young age. In the future, he had great hopes of advancing to Level Four and becoming the group’s core strength.

However, it seemed that everyone expected him to advance in the future, but not at this moment.

“Thinking about it this way…”

Jiang Wen’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a little excited. If Chen Heng’s strength was so strong, didn’t this mean that she had followed the right person?

When Chen Heng rose in the future, as his former subordinate, would she still be afraid of not getting any benefits? In fact, even the matter of Chen Heng suddenly making a move could be interpreted in more ways.

“I understand!”

She slapped her thigh and came to a sudden realization. “Captain doesn’t want to fight against the Shadow Old Man. He wants to take the opportunity to showcase his strength and gain more authority. Only then will he be able to get more credit.”

If he had the strength of the previous Level Three, then even if he could get some credit, the majority of the credit would definitely belong to someone else.

If he didn’t have the strength, then it was fine. But since he had the strength, then he naturally had to fight for it. Therefore, Chen Heng exposed his strength and fought for more say. In this way, when he received the final reward, he could also receive more rewards. He could even receive more resources to nurture him.

Jiang Wen suddenly came to a realization. She felt that she had already thought it through. At that moment, Ye Zi and Lu Yao quickly rushed past her. However, Jiang Wen didn’t even look at them. She only felt that they had passed by.

It was impossible for the two of them to escape. After all, both of them had the mark of the Shadow Old Man on them. Even if they could run now, where could they run to?

When the matter in front of them was over, and they were facing two Level Four pursuers, the two of them had no chance of escaping. Jiang Wen thought so confidently.

However, things did not seem to be progressing according to her plan. In front of her, a terrifying power was blossoming. Overwhelming might radiate from within. In a short instant, two completely different powers clashed once more, smashing forward.

An unknown power surged on Chen Heng’s body, an unknown power surged, and a layer of golden armor appeared. There was an unknown aura spreading from it, suppressing everything.

White bone imprints flickered on the Shadow Old Man’s body, and a terrifying power faintly blossomed.

Both sides were fighting in this place. The power was suffocating, and it almost turned this area into ruins.. From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like they were going to stop.
