Whether it was an illusion or not, Yin Yang felt the air in the city grow significantly heavier.
Wooo~
Alarms blared throughout Wangnian City as streaks of fire shot out from the crimson clouds.
Those were Great Qi's missiles!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
From within Wangnian City, similar streaks of fire rose to meet them in the sky!
This was Great Wei's interception system.
However, compared to Great Qi's preemptive strike, the interception was slightly sluggish. Nearly a third of the missiles still made it into the city, and one landed squarely on the dormitory building!
Boom!
The shockwave of the explosion nearly blew Yin Yang and Liu Hong away, but fortunately, Mr. Yuan stood in front of them, shielding them.
Scorching air currents raged, and debris from the building pelted Mr. Yuan's defensive barrier, sending ripples across its surface.
Yin Yang clenched his fists and shouted, "Teacher, the source of the danger isn't Great Qi!"
Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yu were both sharp; they understood Yin Yang's meaning instantly.
Yin Yang had said before that he felt a fatal crisis, a danger that would kill everyone.
But it wasn't the flesh ball before them, nor was it the Sequence 4 outside the city.
This meant that right now, right here, there was something even more terrifying than the Sequence 4 expert outside!
"Move!"
Mr. Yuan protected the group as they retreated rapidly.
Now, even without Yin Yang's warning, he could sense the danger himself.
One had to remember that he was a Demigod, and a Demigod of the Physician pathway at that!
For even him to feel such danger, the severity of the threat was clear.
Thinking of this, Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yu each grabbed Yin Yang and Liu Hong and took to the sky.
Boom!!!
Almost simultaneously, a world-shaking roar erupted from the city gates.
Yin Yang turned his head and saw a giant, tall enough to touch the heavens, stepping into the city!
It wasn't a phantom or an illusion; it was a physical, literal giant!
The overwhelming pressure radiating from the entity made it difficult for Yin Yang to breathe.
Sequence 4 of the Strongman pathway.
Giant Spirit God!
With a single step, he crushed the gates of Wangnian City, and Great Qi soldiers flooded in through the gap.
Liu Hong spoke in disbelief, "You've got to be kidding me! Great Qi's army is already at the gates?"
"Where was the radar? Where were the scouts?"
"What happened to the Wangnian City Command Center?"
As a citizen of Great Wei, Liu Hong couldn't accept that his country's city gates had been smashed open so easily by an invader.
He couldn't accept it, and neither could the soldiers of Great Wei.
"Form ranks!!!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes, sir!"
There weren't many Great Wei soldiers in Wangnian City; only about two thousand were near the gates.
Most of these two thousand were Sequence 9 Axemen.
They had been trembling under the pressure of the Sequence 4 expert, but the moment they heard their commander's order, they did their best to form up.
As more and more Axemen gathered, their collective aura grew stronger.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Two figures flew out from the Security Bureau and the Command Center. The fastest among them was Mr. Qian.
A cold light that seemed to slice through the horizon appeared beside him—it was the sealed object, the guandao!
The frigid blade swept toward the Giant Spirit God's neck.
Without a single word of waste, Mr. Qian chose to use his strongest method from the very start!
To Mr. Qian, the Giant Spirit God's massive body was nothing more than a giant target.
But just as the cold light was about to strike, the giant vanished, as if he had never existed.
Mr. Qian's strike cut through empty air.
However, being of the Ward Guard pathway, he was naturally observant. He saw clearly that the Giant Spirit God hadn't vanished; he had shrunk!
Swoosh!
The Demigod from the Command Center arrived as well. He was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite refined.
"We cannot let the battlefield remain inside the city!"
As he spoke, divinity began to pour frantically into a stone mirror in his hand.
"Mr. Qian, help me!"
"On it!"
Mr. Qian roared, gripping the guandao in a reverse hold and assuming a javelin-throwing stance.
His body arched back like a drawn bow, and the guandao was his arrow.
Swoosh!!!
The guandao shot toward the ground like a teleporting projectile, accompanied by a sonic boom!
There, a burly man in a slim-fit black suit was staring intently at him.
"Uphold the Heavens!"
The burly man thrust his hands upward, looking as though he were under immense strain, even though there was seemingly nothing in his hands.
Boom!!!
The guandao, wreathed in lightning, crashed down. It was as if the burly man was holding up an invisible air wall of unknown thickness, forcefully stopping the blade.
Crack! Crack!
The ground beneath the burly man's feet began to shatter as he redirected the force into the earth.
But the power was too great; despite his efforts to dissipate it, he was still driven into the ground like a stake.
"Now!"
Mr. Qian bellowed, and the man with gold-rimmed glasses instantly threw the stone mirror.
The stone mirror expanded rapidly, covering a small portion of the sky in an instant. The Giant Spirit God looked up and saw an empty city reflected in the mirror.
No!
That wasn't right!
They were being transferred into the Mirror World!
Everyone who saw the mirror was teleported into the Mirror World!
The power of this sealed object was immense. The man with gold-rimmed glasses didn't care about the civilians at all, pushing the artifact to its maximum state!
Every ordinary person caught under the mirror's light—whether they looked at it or not—was twisted into grotesque shapes, their internal organs forced out through their mouths.
In almost an instant, the population of Wangnian City was reduced by a third!
Mr. Yuan and the others suppressed the urge to look up and sprinted toward the rear.
The moment the stone mirror appeared, Yin Yang had told them all not to look up!
They had all listened. They watched as Mr. Qian and the others vanished, and even a large number of the Great Qi soldiers who had just broken in disappeared.
The Great Wei soldiers who had just formed ranks, however, did not vanish at all. It was unclear if they had been warned in advance.
"Old Yu, take Zheng Yang and Liu Hong to a safe place first. I'm going to go help..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a streak of black light shot toward his back. Fortunately, Mr. Yu was on full alert and managed to block it.
Looking around, there were six or seven Demigods floating in mid-air!
The one who had just attacked was a person dressed in a long black robe.
And these were just the Demigods currently visible in Wangnian City; there were undoubtedly more inside the Mirror World!
Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yu weren't surprised in the least.
They had long suspected that many people were hiding in the city, waiting for the chaos of war to complete their promotion rituals.
They just hadn't expected these people to target the two of them first.
Mr. Yuan rolled his neck slightly and spoke in a very low voice.
"Zheng Yang, Liu Hong, it seems Old Yu and I have become targets. Staying with us will only be more dangerous for you."
"I'm going to drop you on that rooftop across the way. Run as fast as you can, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Yes, sir!"
Both of them knew the situation was critical and there was no time for chatter.
Swoosh!
Another black light streaked toward them. The moment Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yu used their divinity to block it, they tossed the two boys onto the opposite rooftop.
Yin Yang rolled to dissipate the force and began sprinting toward the stairwell.
So many wild Demigods... I shouldn't let them go to waste!
