Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Just as the axe was about to strike Mo Hong, Mo Hong remained standing still, but finally moved at the last moment.

The moment the arm was raised, a dazzling blade flashed by, like a graceful dance, directly confronting the axe blow head-on.

There was no retreat or evasion, just a simple clash of forces.

At the moment the two collided.

Sonorous!

With a loud clang of weapons clashing, one figure was the first to succumb to the force, staggering back seven or eight steps before finally stopping.

"Wu Cheng, he lost in a head-on confrontation?"

Upon seeing the retreating figure, Wu Cheng's three companions exchanged glances, all seeing shock on each other's faces.

At the same time, Shu Yuqing's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Mo Hong in disbelief.

"Wu Cheng is at the level 9 limit, and he's using a powerful battle axe. Logically, strength should be his greatest advantage, yet he still lost to Mo Hong in a clash of strength?"

Just how powerful is Mo Hong now?

Shu Yuqing's heart pounded wildly, and she was shocked.

He had initially thought that Mo Hong was just a freshman like her, and that even if he was strong, he would only be at the early stage of level 9. Now he realized that it was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"how is this possible?"

Wu Cheng stared at his slightly trembling arm, his face gradually darkening.

At this moment, his gaze toward Mo Hong no longer held any contempt; instead, he truly regarded him as a formidable opponent.

Mo Hong dragged his battle sword and walked slowly forward, the blade scraping against the ground with a "sizzling" sound.

Mo Hong's gaze was sharp as he walked away, saying calmly, "Is this what you mean by being stronger than me? If this is all you're capable of, then I'm not going to bother with you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Wu Cheng's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after Mo Hong finished speaking, his figure flickered and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, it appeared to Wu Cheng's side.

Upon seeing Mo Hong's figure, Wu Cheng's eyes hardened, and his blood and qi suddenly erupted as he swung his axe.

"Mountain splitting axe!"

The axe's imposing weight was like a mountain, inspiring fear in those who beheld it.

"roll!"

Mo Hong's aura at the peak of level 9 was finally no longer concealed. In the instant his aura erupted, he swung his battle blade to directly meet that axe blow.

The moment they collided, Wu Cheng's expression changed. He felt a terrifying force emanating from the weapon, which made his arm go numb, and his battle axe fell from his hand.

"Should we continue fighting?"

Mo Hong placed the battle sword on Wu Cheng's head and looked at the three men calmly.

The three shook their heads helplessly, all unwilling to fight.

After moving the knife aside, Mo Hong walked straight towards Shu Yuqing.

Upon seeing Shu Yuqing's injuries, Mo Hong frowned, but didn't say anything more.

"So, are we still able to continue?"

Mo Hong took out some medications from his backpack and inquired about them.

Shu Yuqing shook her head and said, "They're just minor injuries, they'll recover quickly."

Upon receiving this reply, Mo Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shu Yuqing's injuries are too severe to move around, Mo Hong will have no choice but to stay with her, which will restrict Mo Hong's movements.

Noticing that Wu Cheng and his group of five were about to leave, Mo Hong couldn't help but remind them, "Everyone, let me remind you, there are some problems with the people from Yeji, Mangfeng, and Fengling Universities. Try to stay away from them if you encounter them."

After saying this, Mo Hong and Shu Yuqing chose a direction to leave.

Whether they listen to Mo Hong's advice or not is their business.

, ...

An hour ago.

Four people are moving quickly across a wide, flat area.

"Brother Wang, how far are we from that marked inner sanctum?"

During the run, a young man from Yinchuan University asked a question.

Wang Bufan glanced at the map and replied, "We're almost there, it'll only take about half an hour."

Suddenly, the only girl in the group asked in confusion, "Look, isn't someone walking over there?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Wang Bufan, the strongest among them, narrowed his eyes. When he saw that the figures were rushing towards them, his expression changed immediately.

"Oh no! Four people are charging at us! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

However, without Wang Bufan's prompting, the three of them were already able to see it clearly on their own.

Because those four figures were only two hundred meters away from them!

Wang Bufan's expression hardened slightly, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand.

"Four people? I'd like to see which universities they're collaborating with?"

In his view, the other party currently has four people, so they must be in a cooperative relationship.

After all, apart from Yinchuan University, all of the fifteen universities that came to explore only had three people.

Soon, the figures of the four people came into view of Wang Bufan and his companions.

There were three men and one woman in total, and each of them possessed an aura that was not weak at all, and even somewhat eerie.

Looking at the four people's strange attire and appearances that differed somewhat from those of humans on Earth, Wang Bufan's mind raced, and he realized that no university matched the four people.

Wang Bufan's expression changed drastically immediately.

"Could it be the natives of this ruin? No, we have never found any natives since the Alliance began exploring the ruins."

Wang Bufan felt increasingly uneasy, and his expression gradually darkened.

"Ziyang, how about leaving these people to me?"

A strange-looking young man with red hair and a face covered in tattoos asked coldly.

"Okay, Blood Demon, hurry up, we're in a rush."

The man named Ziyang nodded in agreement.

The next moment, the strange young man took a few steps forward, looking at Wang Bufan and the other three with the attitude of scrutinizing prey.

"These guys are suspicious, everyone attack them!"

When he heard that the group was not communicating in human language, Wang Bufan was shocked and immediately gave the order without hesitation.

Immediately, two people exchanged a glance and rushed forward, joining forces to slash at the eerie red-haired youth.

However, all that was heard was a "pfft".

The two of them froze instantly, their faces showing disbelief.

The two looked down and realized that their bodies had been pierced by a red tentacle at some point.

However, it wasn't over yet. The two felt a powerful suction force within their bodies, frantically devouring their blood and life essence.

Before they could even scream, their bodies turned into shriveled corpses at a visible speed.

After the tentacles were pulled from the corpse, their surfaces glowed with an eerie red light, becoming even more lustrous than before.

"good to eat."

The red-haired youth licked his lips, his mouth widening to reveal sharp, blood-red teeth, which looked quite chilling.

This process was completed in just a few breaths.

When Wang Bufan saw this scene, his face was filled with horror, and his heart was already in turmoil.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Wang Bufan's breathing became rapid; at that moment, he felt the threat of death.

She couldn't help but look at her female companion beside her, who was also trembling.
