CHAPTER 953: CHAPTER 722: AURA OF DARKNESS

Ye Jingtian, holding the Purple and Blue Twin Swords, cautiously entered the dark building. Under normal circumstances, he would rather slice open the building with a single sword to see what’s really inside.

However, this is the survival base, and he doesn’t have absolute evidence to prove that Zhang Tianxing is the betrayer, so he dared not act hastily; he must uncover the truth first.

Yet, as he stepped inside the building, he felt something was amiss.

The environment was pitch black, deep, and eerily empty, as if he had entered an unknown space, giving him an unreal feeling. Moreover, a strange smell lingered.

A smell of blood? Or of corpses?

Unclear, but the place was sealed off and isolated from the world.

Even though Ye Jingtian’s eyes gleamed, capable of seeing in the dark, he still couldn’t see clearly here; evidently, what shrouded this place wasn’t darkness, but a peculiar force that obscured vision, affecting even a cultivator of his strength.

No choice.

Ye Jingtian raised his hand and swung, and the Green Sword immediately emitted a sword light, which tore a corner of the darkness apart, revealing the most vivid scene here.

Just at a glance, Ye Jingtian’s expression dramatically changed.

He saw the walls of the building covered with tumor-like scarlet flesh, slightly pulsating as if alive. Additionally, bizarre tentacles sprouted from the darkness, hanging like vines.

Perhaps Ye Jingtian’s sword strike disturbed the building, and those tentacles began creeping towards him, each topped with a pitch-black eyeball.

The eyeballs turned, staring at Ye Jingtian with a monster-like malice.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe such terrifying things existed in the survival base, despite the sixth-generation intelligent brain monitoring, it had remained unnoticed for so long.

"What is Zhang Tianxing? Probably not even a human anymore, right?" Ye Jingtian guessed that perhaps Zhang Tianxing wasn’t a spy, but controlled by something bizarre, against his will.

Or maybe he was parasitized by something evil.

But right now, there was no time to consider all that.

Such a strange thing must be eradicated today; if left alone, the entire base would likely fall.

Luckily, Li Yi’s issues made him take this seriously and trace it here, otherwise, in a few years, no one would suspect Zhang Tianxi had problems, given his perfect track record.

He had entered the Golden Academy early on, participated in cross-boundary battles, and recently teamed up to defeat a Great Demon.

Such a person seemed a loyal subject to Earth, with no reason for betrayal.

At this moment, Ye Jingtian mobilized the cosmic energy within, and the Purple and Blue Twin Swords immediately burst forth two dazzling auras, ascending to the sky, tearing the darkness, illuminating the entire building instantly.

Moreover, the sword light did not extinguish but grew larger, seemingly intending to swallow the entire building.

Under the sword’s light, those bizarre tentacles were instantly ground into powder, leaving not a trace until the sword light reached its peak, erasing everything here.

"Ye Jingtian, why are you destroying my place without reason? Do you intend to kill me?" At this moment, a cold voice came from the building’s depth, filled with strong hostility.

It was Zhang Tianxing’s voice.

"Zhang Tianxing, look at what you’ve done. Are you still human? Show yourself, I want to tear off your false mask and see what you truly are," Ye Jingtian shouted angrily.

A sword aura turned, heading towards the source of the voice.

"Courting death." Hidden in the darkness, Zhang Tianxing also shouted, delivering a mighty blow, attempting to shatter the Purple and Blue Sword Aura.

BOOM!

The battle erupted between the two S-class authorities, unleashing astonishing residual power.

Instantly, the dark building was torn open.

Thick blood oozed from the tumor-like walls, and the commotion quickly spread throughout the survival base.

Instantaneously.

Alarms blared again, waking those resting throughout the base at night.

However, many were not panicked.

Such things had happened before; last time a Great Demon invaded, it reached near the survival base, but with no danger in the end. People here have developed some resistance to calamities.

With the commotion rising.

Experts within the base mobilized en masse.

"Fighting broke out in the city. Is it Li Yi again clashing with others? No, that’s not right, that power is... Ye Jingtian’s Purple and Blue Twin Swords, and also Zhang Tianxing’s aura; it’s them fighting," said a bewildered Li Yugang, who was just rushing out of his residence.

He thought Li Yi took action, given Li Yi’s previous precedents, but upon closer inspection, realized it wasn’t so.

"Ye Jingtian and Zhang Tianxing, the two least likely to fight, are clashing—did something happen?" Other experts also wondered, but regardless, since there was a fight within the survival base, everyone had to join forces to try and stop it.

After all, if they let the two run rampant, the survival base would be doomed.

The strength of the experts is too mighty for anywhere to withstand such turmoil.

"Li Yi, Ye Jingtian found the spy, come quickly," Meanwhile, Su Mu, witnessing the situation, hurriedly messaged Li Yi, unsure if it was too late to send it now.

The fight broke out too suddenly.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Jingtian should have investigated first and then arranged to encircle the spy, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

At Li Yi’s residence, colorful brilliance surged, energy drifted, and a Primordial Spirit Dharma sat on the Lotus Platform, hands forming a Dharma Seal, sacred and majestic. However, with this commotion spreading.

The Primordial Spirit Dharma slowly opened its eyes, gazing towards the battle.

Li Yi was just cultivating, not dead, naturally sensing such a commotion.

But unlike others, he noticed a familiar scent among it all.

Evil, bizarre, dark.

"The scent of the Evil God from the Dark World..."

Upon sensing this aura, Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Dharma image vanished instantly, and he immediately dashed forth, treading on Xiangyun, donning the Red Gold Purple Feather Armor, holding the Shattered Star Long Spear.

No matter who the opponent was, any Evil God from the Dark World must be exterminated.

The thing was too sinister; he had suffered a great loss before. Had it not been for Xuan Yuezi’s help, he would have died in that dark world.

"Those lacking strength, scatter, do not court death. This is the aura of the Evil God from the Dark World, a power beyond Great Demon level." He hesitated not a moment, shouting abruptly, his voice like a roaring dragon and tiger, shaking the entire survival base.

Li Yi aimed to assert control over the battlefield and resolve the significant threat.

The others, sensing Li Yi’s terrifying aura, had their expressions changed and gave way immediately.

Not the slightest underestimating of Li Yi because of his A-class authority.

The spear in his hand, merely swaying, seemed to tear the sky; any seeing eyes would understand, the current Li Yi was not someone to provoke.
