Chapter 466: Chapter 427 Blood Sacrifice II

As Annie had just left a few minutes ago,

the streets nearby immediately erupted with the sounds of the crowd’s panic—filled with screams and wails, along with a low, fierce roar of some beast.

"Call the police! My God, call the police!"

"She’s biting him! My God!"

"Oh!!! My hand! Shoot her dead—she’s biting me!"

The commotion from the crowd continued unabated from the other side of the street.

Lin Fei and Yuan Yicheng both saw the direction in which Annie had left; there, large groups of people with umbrellas began to gradually gather.

"Trap her! Tighten it! That damned monster, she’s bitten a huge chunk out of my dad!"

"A man-eating monster!"

"Kill her!"

Lin Fei furrowed his brows and stood up.

"Let’s go check it out. I don’t want my first follower in this world to get killed just like that." Low-level demonization could only enhance her physical condition a bit beyond an ordinary person. She couldn’t withstand the power of firearms either.

Yuan Yicheng nodded and stood up as well.

The two quickly headed towards the direction Annie had left.

In the shop, the curious shopkeeper’s daughter, somewhat disappointed, poked her head out to watch the two men leaving. Faint sounds of her father’s scolding came from inside the shop, and the girl could only stick out her tongue before retreating back inside.

Annie was tightly netted on the ground, curled up entirely, as the heavy rain poured directly onto her clothes, soaking her completely. She looked extremely wretched.

However, she was still struggling fiercely, ready to pounce at any moment, with all four limbs on the ground like some canine animal, emitting low growls from her throat.

Lin Fei and Yuan moved through the gaps in the crowd and saw a chubby, white-haired old man holding a double-barreled shotgun aimed at Annie on the ground, his expression relaxed.

"Back in the days when I, old John, was battling those German brats in Plymouth, you lot were still nursing in your mothers’ arms! Move aside! All of you, watch out for accidental discharge!" he shouted loudly.

Next to the fat man, a middle-aged man in a suit was tightly pressing a white towel against his right hand, which continually bled. Beside him, a teenage boy nervously tied up the man’s sleeve, trying to use a rope to tie off the bleeding artery in his arm to stop the blood flow.

"Roar!!"

Ann’s eyes were completely bloodshot, clearly losing all reason as she furiously roared at the loudly shouting old fat man.

With a click, the old fat man unlocked the safety.

"Darling, just wait here till the zoo people come..." he said in a lowered voice, chuckling wickedly.

As the rain soaked Annie’s clothes, her originally black tights and overlay dress became somewhat see-through and clinging to her body.

Suddenly, a series of whistles erupted from within the crowd. The gaze of some men immediately turned strange.

Lin Fei pushed his way through the crowd, moving into the center of the circle.

"I already told you before," he said in a low voice, staring at Annie laying on the ground. "Now you understand why, right?"

"Well, it’s not too bad to start like this," he suddenly said.

Behind Lin Fei, four longswords emerged behind Yuan Yicheng in an umbrella-like formation.

A young woman behind him suddenly widened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then looked again at the four black longswords still quietly resting behind him.

"Am I dreaming, or has the world gone mad..." she muttered. She pinched her thigh hard, and a sharp pain shot to her brain.

A strange and dangerous aura began to slowly emit from Yuan Yicheng.

"I haven’t gone all out in a long while either," he licked his lips.

Lin Fei walked over to Annie. He lightly snapped his fingers.

The net trapping Annie suddenly hissed and tore in half.

Strangely, the blood-red in Annie’s eyes also began to dim. Her whole body slumped to the ground, emitting soft whimpers like a puppy, trembling slightly.

Lin Fei gently rubbed Annie’s head. A soft smile appeared on his face.

"You!!! Move away! Be careful, she might bite you!" the old fat man with the gun grew nervous; he hadn’t seen how the net had been undone.

"It’s alright," Lin Fei said in a low voice. "She wouldn’t dare."

The longswords behind Yuan Yicheng simultaneously drew out of their sheaths with a hiss.

Hiss!!

The four longswords instantly turned into four black streaks amid a series of snapping sounds.

Suddenly, everyone in the surrounding circle fell silent.

Every person’s actions froze at that instant. Those holding guns still held them; those who were tense remained tense; those ready to turn and leave remained in that position.

Everyone stopped in that moment, as if captured in a frozen photograph. The heavy rain continued to pour without the slightest pause.

Clang!! The four black swords sheathed instantly, their sounds overlapping into one.

Yuan Yicheng’s expression remained unchanged.

A faint, bloody scent slowly wafted through the air.

Bang!

Suddenly, a round object rolled to the ground. It was the smiling head of a man. Blood surged from the severed arteries, mixing with the rain. The spot where he had stood now contained a headless body, with blood gushing from the severed neck.

Lin Fei stood in the middle of the crowd. He gently exhaled a long breath.

Suddenly, everyone around him simultaneously fell backward. Heads and bodies completely separated with a snap and crashed down in two pieces. Fresh blood mixed with rainwater turned the entire street into a blood-red scene.

Passing vehicles frantically accelerated, speeding away upon seeing this.

"Ah!!!!"

Piercing screams came from a nearby supermarket. Shoppers entering and exiting the supermarket frantically fled in all directions.

Pedestrians, who had been slowly walking along the street, dropped their umbrellas in panic and ran.

Sounds of doors and windows being shut resounded from nearby stores and residential buildings.

In almost an instant, the entire block fell silent, save for the sound of the rain, without another noise to be heard.

Lin Fei reached out his hand and gently grasped. Countless golden streams of light were suddenly pulled out of the void, as if the roots of space itself were being drawn out.

"Go...."

The golden roots suddenly shattered, turning into countless golden light particles.

The light particles exploded rapidly and quickly spread to the surrounding area within hundreds of meters, then quickly transformed into numerous eerie gray-white avian creatures with human faces.

These creatures shrieked mournfully, continuously flying and circling around.

This was Lin Fei using the massive energy from the Energy Stone he had obtained from the golden robe, projecting the shadow of the Calling Birds. A total of one hundred and five, each possessing one-third the power of the Calling Bird’s true form.

Yuan Yicheng slightly bowed. "Then, I shall begin."

With a point of his toe, his whole body suddenly floated up. Four Black Longswords flew out from behind him, finally merging into one in his hands.

Masses of Calling Birds screamed mournfully around him, swirling like a stream of gray-white water.

"Heavenly Net Bright Moon Sword," Yuan Yicheng suddenly shouted.

The Longsword in his hand instantly gleamed with bursts of moon-white halo and rapidly elongated and widened.

Quickly, the originally two-finger-wide Longsword had expanded to the thickness of an arm, its length significantly increased, emitting a faint moon-colored luster.

"Final Form!" Yuan Yicheng held his Longsword diagonally and fiercely slashed down.

Wham!!!

An invisible Sword Pressure first spread out. The rain falling from the sky was also vibrated backward, forming a huge rainless spherical space several tens of meters in diameter.

Lin Fei, holding the still dazed Annis, suddenly transformed into a sharp arrow and shot up into the sky.

He then looked down from above.

At the center of Solomon City, where Yuan Yicheng was, a moon-white circular moonlight halo suddenly emerged, then slowly spread towards all directions.

It was like a blank line on a map constantly extending.

The circular Sword Mark sliced through anything in its path.

Crowds, street lamps, cars, houses, buildings—everything split in two upon contact with the Sword Mark.

Boom!!

Building after building was sliced in half, slowly sliding down and crashing onto the ground with deafening noise.

Ding!!

A crisp sword hum suddenly sounded.

Yuan Yicheng’s entire person slowly floated up, his pupils completely white.

The large flocks of human-faced birds scattered behind him, searching for any survivors through the gaps in the streets and alleys.

Destruction directly descended upon Solomon City.

Yuan Yicheng swiftly flew.

At each location he reached, rings of moon-white Sword Marks slowly rippled out.

Crowds frantically fled from buildings. Screaming, they ran away.

Some lucky ones who ducked managed to evade the Sword Marks, yet, amid the shrill cries of the human-faced birds, their faces and souls were devoured, leaving behind faceless corpses on the ground. Then, the human-faced birds, with freshly acquired human faces, commenced hunting other humans.

Boom!!

Some vehicles, trying awkwardly to avoid obstacles on the street, failed to brake in time and crashed into the buildings that had been split in two. These vehicles collided with each other and, as gasoline leaked, a series of massive explosions thundered into the sky, lighting up the flames.

A series of sirens approached quickly.

Soon, a large number of Calling Birds flew toward the source of the sound.

After a series of intense gunfire, there followed a multitude of screams. Then, all was silent.

Aside from sporadic gunfire, there was no significant noise in the several surrounding blocks.

Lin Fei, holding Annis high in the sky, looked down at the apocalyptic scene below, and even he showed a trace of pity in his eyes.

"To gain something, one must give...." he said softly. "The price to pay is a substantial amount of lives and blood...."

Annis, now somewhat lucid, saw the scene below and was completely stunned. She was unaware even that she was still high in the sky.

"My God...." She barely squeezed the words from her throat.

"This city will be my starting point in this world," Lin Fei remarked. "The Blood Sacrifice is just the beginning."

His gaze drifted toward Norsent city. In that direction, a surge of demonic aura spread far into the distance. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, I invite you to vote for it with a recommendation or a Monthly Ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
