Chapter 309 – Where the Blade Points

The next moment, everyone could feel a strange sensation from beneath the ground.

They all looked down, only to see that the ground of Yuan, which was originally yellow and dotted with weeds, had turned blackish-brown at some point, gradually taking on a crystalline appearance. These crystals seemed incredibly solid, but they surged up and down, like ripples on water, rising and falling, spreading into the distance.

“What is this…”

Most people were confused, but some recognized it. They were members of the Summoned Beasts Resistance Association, and they had seen this texture of armor on videos!

“ResistorsButcher!!”

“This is bad, ResistorsButcher is also in Paradise Town? What are they planning?”

Some vigilant individuals began to try to communicate with Sub-Star, to summon their Summoned Beasts! However, when they attempted to extend their Mental Tentacles to guide the spatial resonance, they found that their Mental Tentacles had become incredibly heavy, like a basketball filled with lead. They could still lift it with all their might, but could they throw such a lead-filled basketball for a three-pointer?

They couldn’t!

In other words, even though they could still use their Mental Strength, they were no longer able to pry open space!

“What’s going on???”

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation since becoming Summoners, and they were at a loss.

Everyone turned their gaze towards four of the five great directors of the Resistors Association: Director Luo, Director Shi, Director Huang, and Director Quan, hoping that these high-ranking directors would, as always, provide them with answers.

One of the five great directors, Chief Qi, was not attending as he was having his fourth child this year!

However, to their disappointment, these four directors were no less confused than they were, and it was certain they would not receive any useful answers.

As soon as the anomaly occurred, the five great directors, after discovering they couldn’t summon or Teleportation back to Sub-Star, immediately gathered to discuss countermeasures.

The plump Director Luo was the most composed. He took a deep drag from his cigarette and, after looking around, said, “Don’t panic and cause chaos. Firstly, there are tens of thousands of people here; they might not be here to cause trouble for us!

Secondly, we are just ordinary people, and our identities are not exposed;

Thirdly, there are still one hundred Chow Chow Beasts maintaining order. If anything unexpected happens, they are enough to protect us and ensure our safe departure;

Fourthly, there are ten ships docked at Paradise Bay to the southwest. It will only take five minutes to reach them by Chow Chow Beasts;

Fifthly, I have a private plane parked at South Bay Park. If the situation turns bad, have the Harmony Area Directors distract them first, and then you follow me.”

Sixth, call for reinforcements immediately and arrange firearms and grenades.

Director Luo took another deep drag from his cigarette, his expression growing calmer as he spoke, finally revealing a slight smile: “That’s why, it’s not a big problem! Now we just need to wait and see.”

The other three general managers were greatly impressed upon hearing this. Director Luo was indeed Director Luo, always so organized in his words and actions. They nodded in agreement, stating the problem was not significant, and their restless bottoms settled down.

They began to discuss and speculate about the cause of the incident and Harmony’s motives.

The other ‘managers’ and ‘directors’ of the Resistor level, seeing their leaders’ calm demeanor and confidence, were instantly put at ease and stopped their restless fidgeting.

However, none of them realized the seriousness of the situation. They were all using their own ingrained judgment to predict the course of events, blindly confident!

But the moment Su Hao placed his hand on the ground, the outcome was already decided!

Su Hao’s Harmony Yashan’s transformed Black Crystal armor continuously spread outwards, quickly encompassing the vast plaza. The Black Crystal armor spread to a radius of three kilometers before stopping. Looking down from the sky, the ground resembled a drop of dark brown ink, dyeing the ground into a circular ink blot.

“Rise!”

As Su Hao’s voice fell, the Black Crystal armor at the edge of the Black Crystal domain began to writhe and bulge upwards, rising higher and higher. After reaching a height of fifty meters, it stopped, resembling a giant black bathtub, enclosing everyone within it.

“Heavens… heavens!”

“Is this a miracle? How did they do that?”

“Mom, is this a magic show?”

Everyone who witnessed this scene had their mouths agape in shock, some exclaiming in amazement, others in awe, and some in bewilderment. Of course, there were also those who couldn’t think of anything and just kept muttering expletives.

However, the changes were not over yet.

“Swish swish swish!”

Numerous sharp, long spikes began to emerge from the tall Black Crystal walls, glinting menacingly in the still warm sunlight.

It was these lethally sharp spikes that made everyone feel uneasy! They realized that the writhing Black Crystal stone beneath their feet seemed to have malicious intent!

“Ah–“

Finally, someone could not withstand the stimulation of the sudden environmental change, covered their ears, and screamed.

This scream acted as a catalyst, triggering a chain reaction. Like dominoes, the screams rose and fell, and everyone descended into chaos!

But as they looked around, they found themselves blocked by the tall Black Crystal walls, with nowhere to run.

People living in this world often encountered Sub-Star beasts that would suddenly teleport in, so they were quite adept at handling emergencies. They instantly determined how to protect themselves!

As long as they could squeeze into a crowd, they would be temporarily safe! If anything happened, it would be the people around them first!

So they all tried to push into the crowds, and soon they were all squeezed together.

Some people found they couldn’t squeeze in and wanted to dig a hole to bury themselves, but then they found that the Black Crystal on the ground couldn’t be dug at all, and they were on the verge of tears.

There were many powerful Summoners present, but with their Mental Strength sealed, they were as helpless as ordinary people.

The hundred Chow Chow Beasts used to maintain order began to run towards the edge of the domain. They impacted the wall of the Black Crystal domain, but it was of little use. The damaged Black Crystal spikes quickly repaired themselves. Then, the Chow Chow Beasts attempted to climb, but were impaled by the suddenly bursting Black Crystal spikes and fell to the ground.

Those four executives who had been sitting comfortably could no longer remain seated! Everyone looked at Director Luo: We’re counting on you, Director Luo!

Director Luo said he couldn’t be relied upon either!

…

Having completed all this, Su Hao and Yashan slowly stood up, each condensing their usual Long Blade in their hands, with a faint Rune glow appearing.

Su Hao surveyed the surroundings and said calmly, “Let’s begin! Yashan!”

At this point, there’s no longer a question of killing or not killing. Raise your Long Blade and charge forward!

Who cares if there are a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand! Let them all turn to dust at the point of my blade!

Yashan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, “Understood, Boss Wei!”

The ground beneath Su Hao’s feet exploded, and his figure vanished from the spot.

“Swish–“

“Gulp!”

A flash of the blade, accompanied by the sound of flesh and bone separating, sent a head flying high before it landed heavily on the ground, rolling to a woman’s feet.

“Ah–“

Piercing screams once again tore through the sky, the latter half of the sound breaking into a hoarse, silent scream.

The headless body, spewing blood, slowly fell to the ground.

As if it were a signal, Yashan also moved, suddenly appearing beside a middle-aged man. Before the man’s horrified and astonished eyes, Yashan swung his Long Blade downwards, cleaving him in two instantly.

Yashan ignored the bloody scene before him and muttered, “I think I said that if I ever caught you scum, I’d split you in two. Now I’ve done it.”

Yashan turned his gaze towards the crowd, where countless red markers floated above the heads of the Resistors.

This was only the first one! There were over two thousand more!

Yashan’s peripheral vision caught sight of Su Hao’s direction, and he was shocked. He had only been deep in thought for a few seconds, and Boss Wei had already killed nearly ten people?

He no longer hesitated and, amidst the screams of the crowd, charged into the throng, heading straight for the Resistors!

Puff puff puff!

Three slashes in a row, like cutting down wild grass by the roadside, with a raise and a drop of the blade, one by one!
