Chapter 996 Surrounded
Crack–!
In the empty street, the streetlights on both sides made a loud pop and went out simultaneously.
Darkness swallowed the road, and a cold air spread rapidly. In the deathly silence, only scattered snowflakes fell soundlessly.
Fang Mo gritted his teeth, took off the shirt under his down jacket, and roughly bandaged the wound on his arm to stop the bleeding. He held the short knife in reverse grip, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.
He sniffed the air and his expression turned extremely ugly.
At the same time, at least seven or eight “Mysteries” were active on this street, and all were approaching him.
He had heard Li Zhenzhen say that Beijing had many “Mysteries”, but he never imagined there would be this many… What’s worse, he was injured and bleeding at this time. In the dark city, his presence was as conspicuous as the sun to the “Mysteries”.
“Fang Mo!”
On the other side of the road, Ding Chongfeng, along with the Su Yuan and Su Zhe siblings, quickly rushed over.
Fang Mo’s pupils contracted slightly as he stepped back, shouting at the three: “Don’t come over!”
Ding Chongfeng and the others were stunned.
“There are many life fluctuations approaching nearby.” Su Yuan closed her eyes and carefully sensed for a moment, “Judging from the wave intensity, they should be ‘Mysteries’, three at ‘Pool’ level, four at ‘River’ level, one at ‘Sea’ level, and one at ‘Limitless’ level concealing its presence in the darkness.”
Hearing this, both Ding Chongfeng and Su Zhe’s expressions changed.
“How can there be so many ‘Mysteries’?” Su Zhe couldn’t help but speak, “When did Beijing become a nest for ‘Mysteries’?”
“Never mind that, let’s get Fang Mo and leave here quickly!”
Just as Ding Chongfeng was about to rush toward Fang Mo, the latter immediately retreated backward, seemingly determined to keep his distance from Ding Chongfeng and the others.
“You all need to leave quickly.” Fang Mo’s expression was extremely serious, “These ‘Mysteries’ are all coming for me. If you stay with me, you’ll only be surrounded by them…”
Whoosh–!
From the corner alley, another cold glint flashed out. The second “Pool” level “Mystery” that had been hiding and ambushing Fang Mo struck again.
This time, Fang Mo clearly saw its true form.
It was a small demon holding a crossbow.
The tip of the bolt emitted a chilling gleam, aiming straight for Fang Mo’s throat, but this time, Fang Mo was prepared.
He gracefully avoided the bolt and stepped back several paces. Just as he was about to make a move, the concrete ground beneath him suddenly burst open. A black shadow shot up from underground like a shark drawn to blood, opening its ferocious mouth wide, violently biting toward Fang Mo’s injured arm.
Fang Mo’s pupils contracted slightly.
At that moment, an invisible force field suddenly appeared, locking the black shadow shark in mid-air, and just as its teeth were about to touch Fang Mo’s arm, it was forcefully slammed back to the ground.
Dust flew up.
Fang Mo turned to look and saw Ding Chongfeng raising his right hand, making a grasping gesture in the air, giving him a helpless smile.
“Looks like we couldn’t leave even if we wanted to…”
On top of the storefronts on both sides of the street, one “Mystery” figure after another appeared, almost all emanating auras of “River” level and above.
The surrounded four – Fang Mo and the others – were all new recruits at “Pool” level. Under the encirclement of these “River” and even “Sea” level “Mysteries”, they were like fish on a chopping board, helpless to resist.
“We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die.” Su Zhe’s face was completely pale as he spoke bitterly, “I should have gone to hit on someone earlier… At least I could have died as a romantic ghost.”
Su Yuan beside him couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
But immediately after, she seemed to sense something and made a slight sound of surprise, turning to look toward the other side of the road.
Tap, tap, tap, tap…
Snowflakes fell silently on the dark street, and the previously extinguished streetlights on both sides suddenly began to mysteriously light up one after another.
A pair of boots stepped on the thin snow, making slight creaking sounds. A man wearing a military coat, holding a straight sword, slowly walked through the snow and wind.
With each step he took, the extinguished streetlights on both sides would flicker and light up, casting his shadow on the snow.
The ghostly light gradually engulfed the entire street, and an overwhelming netherworld aura spread rapidly, making people feel as if they were in the underworld, giving them the illusion that life and death were beyond their control.
“Such strong life fluctuations…” Su Yuan muttered.
Faced with this strange and powerful presence, Fang Mo and Ding Chongfeng, who were closest to him, had completely frozen. The netherworld aura churned on the surface of their skin, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Who is this person?
This question simultaneously appeared in both their minds.
The captain of the Beijing team?
No, that’s not right… He doesn’t match Li Zhenzhen’s description…
While the two were puzzled, the figure in the military coat had already walked through the snow to their side.
Chen Han reached out and gently patted their shoulders, his lips curling into a smile:
“Relax, young ones.”
As his words fell, their rigid bodies suddenly softened, and the churning netherworld aura around them disappeared.
At such close range, Fang Mo caught Chen Han’s scent and, seeming to realize something, opened his eyes in shock.
This was a Divine Agent of Da Xia.
Moreover, he was a Divine Agent who had inherited a complete divine realm from a god at their peak.
Back then, after Yang Jian led the twelve miracle children up the mountain, twelve golden shadows flew out from the Heavenly Court, respectively taking them as agents. After that, the twelve agents jointly became disciples under Yang Jian, training in the cave.
It wasn’t until then that Fang Mo learned that the twelve golden shadows that flew out from the Heavenly Court were the divine souls of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Da Xia who had not yet fully awakened from reincarnation.
Because the Twelve Golden Immortals had not fully awakened at that time, like Shao Pingge and Chen Muye in the past, they could only use certain mediums to bestow their power to their agents. So from a certain perspective, the Da Xia Golden Immortal divine realms they inherited were incomplete.
But Chen Han was different.
When Chen Han was chosen as an agent by the King of Fengdu, the King had already completely returned from reincarnation and recovered his peak abilities. He was a complete Da Xia god who could directly transfer his power to Chen Han even without using mediums. This method of inheritance was more complete than that of Fang Mo, Chen Muye, and the others.
So, in a sense, Chen Han was actually the first complete Divine Agent of Da Xia.
In the ghostly street, Chen Han’s gaze swept across the surroundings, and divine might surged forth from his narrowed eyes!
Above the heads of all the “Mysteries” lurking on this street, semi-transparent flames simultaneously appeared. The higher the level of the “Mystery”, the more vigorously these flames danced. Similar flames also appeared above the heads of Fang Mo and the other three.
