Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 241 - 240 Encirclement

Kong Zheng felt the roaring power within his body, and was increasingly grateful for his choice.

The kind of power the Heavenly Demon possessed, which could elevate them to such heights effortlessly, how could humans possibly resist? Defeat was inevitable.

"Only by siding with the Heavenly Demon and following the strong can we preserve the spark of humanity."

On the other side, Xing Jun observed everyone’s condition, Kong Zheng being the most adapted to their current form. The ones who fared worst were those who initially were not firm about siding with the Heavenly Demon, feeling nervous and scared about their current physical state.

’However, the key lies in their change of consciousness, the Holy Prayer left by the Liberator imprinted on each piece of the Heavenly Demon’s organization.

But the Heavenly Demon queen really succeeded, restructuring their consciousness with information and data, and leaving behind the opposite instructions of Holy Prayer, it indeed seemed to help them overcome the murder impulse.’

’But the detailed situation still needs further observation. Under the directive of two conflicting Holy Prayers, what will they become?’

Thus Xing Jun let those unfit stay behind, and picked out ten people led by Kong Zheng to leave the civilian area and head to the underground sewer treatment center.

According to Xiao Pei’s intelligence, Zhou Bai should currently be in training there.

Although Xing Jun didn’t know why Zhou Bai chose the sewer treatment center for training, this obviously presented a good opportunity for them.

Thus, within the quiet civilian area, twisted figures cut through the air, moving swiftly.

...

In the tranquil darkness of the night, all was silent, save for the pattering of water and the sounds of Zhou Bai diligently working.

He repeatedly ignited filth, which in fact he secretly sold, continuously accumulating points of laziness for himself.

Not far from Zhou Bai, several workers at the sewer treatment center monitored his situation. There were also three fourth realm cultivators, middle-aged, in charge of secretly protecting Zhou Bai.

This was already considered a luxurious arrangement, after all fifth realm cultivators, like Lv Chongyang, Fang Mo, Zhou Shan, all held important responsibilities and had their own cultivation to attend to — they wouldn’t possibly spend every night watching Zhou Bai burn shit.

Today, the three fourth realm cultivators ambushed around the sewer treatment plant were two men and one woman.

The female cultivator, named Jiang Li, stood at the entrance of the sewer treatment plant, rolling her eyes continually, telepathically whispering to her two companions, "This is so boring, making us come here late at night, just to watch a kid burn shit?"

Another male cultivator, Sun Qi, telepathically replied, "This is no ordinary kid, but a cultivation genius spotted by Principal Zhao Shouyi, who entered the second realm in just over half a year."

Clearly, although the Twilight Taoist Skill had already become known to the talented classes, it was still a secret to ordinary cultivators who had made their way step by step.

Jiang Li said, "Haha, genius is made from burning shit at night?" She sniffed the air, feeling more and more agitated, extremely resentful that she, a fourth realm cultivator, had to protect a student burning shit.

The leading male cultivator, Jiang Hai, said, "Alright, stop arguing. This is a task personally laid out by Principal Zhao. Aside from protecting Zhou Bai’s safety, nothing else concerns us."

The three of them quieted down, each continuing to guard Zhou Bai with their own feelings.

Jiang Hai, who was closest to Zhou Bai, watched him laugh while burning shit and couldn’t help but feel a chill, "Are the pressures on kids these days really that great?"

Meanwhile, in the depths of the night at the sewer treatment plant, eerie black shadows clung to the ground and slowly crept towards Zhou Bai.

Kong Zheng sniffed, his new body formed from the Heavenly Demon’s organization not only gave him tremendous power but also enhanced his senses, and the stench in the air made him unconsciously frown.

"Zhou Bai, what is that kid doing? Why does he smell so bad?"

Kong Zheng frowned but didn’t think too much about it, as he led the other nine Heavenly Demons quickly toward the sewage treatment plant.

However, just as they crossed the gate, swords of light ignited, and Jiang Li shouted, "Who’s there!"

The ten figures of Kong Zheng’s group morphed, their bodies gaining a metallic sheen, their hands transforming into weapons, "Kill her."

Jiang Li exclaimed, surprised, "Heavenly Demon!"

The next moment, hundreds of sword lights sprang from the air, forming a large array surging towards Kong Zheng and his group.

Inside the sewage treatment plant, the other two Stage-4 cultivators, Jiang Hai and Sun Qi, heard Jiang Li’s warning.

Jiang Hai was the first to rush towards Zhou Bai, transmitting his message, "Sun Qi! Go assist Jiang Li, delay the Heavenly Demons, I’ll take Zhou Bai and leave."

He still remembered that his primary task was to protect Zhou Bai, so his first thought was to take him away.

Sun Qi’s body shivered slightly, hesitation visible in his eyes: ’Heavenly Demon…’ Fear flickered in his eyes as memories of past battles seemed to resurface.

Nevertheless, the next moment he gritted his teeth, his body shot forward to where Jiang Li was, shouting, "Jiang Li! I’m coming to help you!"

On the other side, Jiang Hai grabbed Zhou Bai and yelled, "Zhou Bai, let’s go!"

But when Jiang Hai tried to pull him, he realized he couldn’t move Zhou Bai, which startled him.

He then saw Zhou Bai thrust his sword, reigniting the impurity in front of him, then looking towards where the sounds of battle were coming from, "We can try and fight."

He looked at the gemstone in his sea of consciousness, secretly relieved, "It’s a good thing Christina left the gemstone in my sea of consciousness. Since we have a chance to start over, instead of blindly running away, we might as well fight the opponent once to understand their abilities and strength."

But Jiang Hai clearly didn’t think the same, as he tried to pull Zhou Bai away. When he found that he couldn’t move him, the Primordial Spirit power in his hands surged out, transforming into a dragon-claw shape, attempting to forcibly take Zhou Bai with him.

Zhou Bai punched out, his fist infused with 3000 points of Primordial Spirit power colliding with the opponent’s dragon claw, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.

Jiang Hai was surprised, he had been afraid of hurting the other but had only used a little over 3000 of Primordial Spirit power, yet he was unable to subdue Zhou Bai.

’What’s going on? Zhou Bai was supposed to be just a Stage-2 cultivator. How could his Primordial Spirit power combined with his physical strength withstand my dragon claw?’

Zhou Bai said, "Don’t rush, let’s fight them a bit, and if it doesn’t work out, then we can flee."

"Support will arrive within a minute, we just need to hold out until then."

But while the two were locked in a stalemate, a loud noise came, followed by the hissing wind sounds, as ten dark figures quickly surrounded Zhou Bai and Jiang Hai.

Kong Zheng, holding Jiang Li by her neck, coldly stated, "You leave, and they die."

Jiang Li and Sun Qi were already unconscious, held in the Heavenly Demons’ hands.

Logically, even after transforming into Heavenly Demons, Kong Zheng and his group shouldn’t have adapted so quickly, but in reality, they seemed to feel no aversion towards slaughtering humans; everything felt naturally accustomed.

Even Kong Zheng often felt almost unable to resist, wanting to kill the female cultivator in his grasp, yet he restrained himself.
