Chapter 156 : Complex Rules, Non-Residents Are Not Permitted Entry!
Chapter 156 - Complex Rules, Non-Residents Are Not Permitted Entry!
Two days later, nighttime.
“Where on earth did An Yao go…”
In the living room, Long Yue sat on the sofa, her brows tightly furrowed, her face full of worry.
Two full days had passed since An Yao left home. In these two days, she had not returned, and there had been no news.
This couldn't help but make her feel extremely worried and self-reproachful.
An Yao, like her, had now lost all her spiritual energy and was as weak as a chicken. If she ran into any danger outside, she had no ability to protect herself.
“Don't worry. Maybe she'll come back on her own in a few days.”
Lin Fan sat down beside Long Yue and handed her the bowl of late-night snack noodles he was holding.
Due to her worry for An Yao's safety, she had been eating much less than usual these past few days.
“How can This Empress not worry…”
Long Yue shot an irritated glance at Lin Fan, took the noodles from his hand, but didn't pick up her chopsticks.
There had been no word from An Yao for two days. In a few more days, she could starve to death somewhere. How could she rest easy…
“No! This Empress will go out and look!”
Long Yue put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up, about to head out to search.
And just then, the melodious sound of a flute suddenly echoed from outside.
The flute's sound was clear and ethereal, cleansing the spirit as it entered the ear, and it lingered in the mind.
Hearing this familiar flute music, Long Yue was abruptly startled. She then felt her mind grow groggy, and her whole body began to sway.
This was the 'Dream-like Immortal Flute' of the Music Immortal Sect! Anyone who heard its melody, if they could not use spiritual energy to guard their mind, would quickly lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep!
If the player did not actively play the melody to break the spell, the listener could be made to sleep forever, never waking until death!
But the Dream-like Immortal Flute of the Music Immortal Sect... how could it be playing here!
She didn't have time to think. Her consciousness was already growing hazy.
At this moment, with all her spiritual energy and cultivation gone, she was completely unable to resist the flute's assault!
Just as she was about to collapse into sleep, Lin Fan lightly placed a hand on her back. The sound of the flute in her mind instantly vanished, and her consciousness was awakened from its drowsy state.
“They're here. It seems they're ready to make their move.”
Lin Fan wrapped an arm around Long Yue, his gaze calmly fixed on the front door.
However, his vision was not looking at the door, but straight through it, through building after building, all the way to the main gate of the residential complex.
At this moment, the melodious sound of the flute echoed over the entire Magic Capital. People on the street were all lying scattered on the ground, asleep. All the cars had also stopped, and the drivers were slumped motionlessly in their seats.
Office workers in their buildings were slumped over their desks, and people in the malls and supermarkets were all sleeping on the floor. In an instant, the vast Magic Capital had become silent and peaceful, as almost everyone fell into a serene sleep.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In the silent streets, the sound of heavy objects landing in succession echoed, each impact accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground.
A man over two and a half meters tall, with a burly and sturdy physique like a heavily armored tank, strode toward the entrance of the Jinxiu Residential Complex with heavy steps.
The man's eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his back was studded with thick iron spikes. Sitting on his shoulder was a petite cat-girl with cat ears and a tail.
As they approached the complex gate, Li Kui stopped, his blindfolded eyes staring straight at the security office.
The door to the security office opened, and Longye slowly walked out, standing alone at the gate.
“Sorry, This King is on duty tonight. Complex rules: non-residents are not permitted entry!”
“Are you going to leave on your own, or shall This King see you off?”
With that, Longye looked up and gave Li Kui and Maoyouyou a teasing smile.
Maoyouyou's expression was grave as she watched Longye, not daring to underestimate him in the slightest.
It was because the person before them was none other than one of the Four Great Demon Generals of the Demon Realm, commander of the First Demon Dragon Legion, the one known by the prestigious title 'Dragon of the Realm-Guard'—Longye!
“Kui Kui!”
Maoyouyou patted Li Kui beneath her.
Receiving his instructions, Li Kui, without a word, grabbed a car from the side of the road and forcefully threw it at Longye.
Longye's figure remained as firm as a mountain. As if catching a baseball, he caught the incoming car steadily with one hand.
At the same time, Li Kui took a step back, bent forward to gather his strength, and assumed a sprinting stance. With a single bound, he shot out like a cannonball!
The moment he took that step, the ground beneath his feet was instantly gouged into a deep trench!
With every step he took, the ground collapsed and caved in!
Taking advantage of the car obstructing Longye's vision, Li Kui smashed a fist toward him from behind it.
With a deafening BOOM, his fist landed on the car. The vehicle instantly disintegrated, and the violent shockwave from the air being displaced caused all the surrounding plants and walls to collapse!
Longye's hand was in a gripping posture, dragon scales manifesting on his arm as he steadily caught Li Kui's fist with one hand.
Seeing Longye so easily block his full-powered strike, a trace of surprise appeared on Li Kui's face. He balled his left hand into a fist and smashed it toward his face.
Not to be outdone, Longye also clenched his left fist and met the attack with a punch of his own.
BOOM!
The two fists collided. The resulting shockwave instantly sent the complex gate and the entire security office flying.
ROAR!
Accompanied by a furious roar, Li Kui pushed off with his legs and, with their fists still locked, charged forward, continuously pushing Longye back.
Just as he was about to be pushed through the complex gate, Longye's gaze hardened. He stomped a foot heavily into the ground, coming to a firm stop right at the boundary line.
No matter how much force Li Kui exerted, he could no longer budge him an inch.
Swish!
While Li Kui and Longye were locked in their struggle, an afterimage flashed past, and several sharp blades slashed toward Longye's neck.
Dragon scales quickly covered Longye's neck, and the blades scraped against them, sending sparks flying.
Seeing this, Maoyouyou was greatly shocked.
She had intended to take advantage of the moment Longye was tied up by Li Kui and had no free hands to assassinate him with a sneak attack. She never expected him to react so quickly, and even less did she expect his dragon scales to be so hard!
BANG!
While Maoyouyou was still in shock, a heavy dragon tail, breaking the sound barrier, slammed into her!
In an instant, Maoyouyou was sent flying back like a meteor. She quickly dug her sharp claws into the ground, sliding back several thousand meters before barely managing to stop, leaving deep claw marks in the ground along the way.
Seeing Maoyouyou knocked away, Li Kui flew into a rage. Ancient runes appeared on his burly body as his strength suddenly surged. He once again charged up a strike and smashed it toward Longye.
“Just in time!”
Longye grinned excitedly and, without shrinking back, met the attack with a punch of his own.
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, the ground between Longye and Li Kui suddenly caved in, forming a deep crater nearly a hundred meters in diameter. The two were simultaneously knocked back by the impact, each retreating to opposite edges of the crater to face each other.
“Hahaha, satisfying!!”
Longye rolled his wrists, his face a picture of pure, unadulterated exhilaration.
During this time, Lord Demon Sovereign hadn't allowed him to attack freely, and the workout equipment was too light. It wasn't satisfying at all. He had been so pent up!
Today, he could finally let loose!
“An Ancient Power-Warrior and a Scythe-Cat. Interesting. I hope you two can give This King a good fight~!”
Longye raised his arm. Dragon scales visibly covered his palm, his fingers transformed into dragon claws, and his eyes also changed into golden, slitted pupils. An immense demonic power and yao energy emanated from his body.
Next, he was going to get a little more serious!
