Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

I slept until it was completely dark, and when it got dark... it really was dark. Forgive me for my lack of vocabulary; I can't describe the scene at that moment.

The sky environment in this world is many times better than the world Ling Yue transmigrated to. In his previous life, Ling Yue could only see many stars when he was a child. As he grew up and technology advanced, he could no longer see the stars...

Back then, the sky was completely dark except for the faint moonlight; we could only survive on streetlights. Even without streetlights, the world could still be guided by moonlight and stars.

Ling Yue was the first to walk out of the school gate. Their school allowed voluntary day students to study in the evening, meaning that day students could eat dinner with the boarding students, and both students would leave school at eight o'clock. Usually, Ling Yue would have already gone back to practice his sword by this time, but thinking about Lin Qiye's encounter with the masked man and his awakening today, he suppressed his inner urge to plunder.

There were many parents picking up their children from school at the school gate; most of them lived far away. Those who lived nearby walked or rode bicycles home.

Among the groups of two, three, four, or five people, one large group of more than a dozen stood out. In the center of them was a young man with black satin-bound eyes, sandwiched between a group of men and women. He was wrapped up tightly like the filling in a loaf of bread.

Ling Yue slowed his pace, waiting for Lin Qiye, who was surrounded by more than a dozen people.

"Actually... I can walk back by myself, really." Lin Qiye's lips twitched slightly as he spoke with a hint of helplessness, "I can see, it's just that my eyesight isn't very good in light..."

"Haha~ Don't kid me, bro. Do you think you're Blind Monk? Or Ning Hongye? You can see even with your eyes covered." Ling Yue couldn't help but shout at this. You cover your eyes and tell these people who don't know about supernatural powers that you can see? Isn't that like a dung beetle yawning—what a boastful tone?

Lin Qiye gave up after hearing this and had no choice but to let his classmates continue to surround him and walk towards the old town.

As they got further and further away from the school, the classmates surrounding Lin Qiye said goodbye and left one by one. A few minutes later, only five people remained around Lin Qiye... well, not counting Ling Yue, who was walking at the front.

"Do you think... that mist will really resurface and swallow up the Great Xia?" Li Yifei asked with some curiosity.

Jiang Qian stated that she trusts the experts, which is also the most common thought among ordinary people: "After I die, who cares what happens next..."

"What if this fog isn't a natural phenomenon?" Lin Qiye, who was surrounded by them, suddenly spoke up.

The crowd responded that it's the 21st century, and we should trust science...

"Hey? Look, Yue-ge's Five Elements Lock seems to be glowing!" Li Yifei, who had the best eyesight, asked Ling Yue, "Yue-ge, the Five Elements Lock you bought is so high-end, can you buy me one too?"

Ling Yue chuckled upon hearing this, "Hehe, I'll have even more advanced locks that you haven't seen yet." He ignored Li Yifei's desire for one as well, since he was about to be killed off to take care of the 'old lady' and sign a completely unequal treaty.

at the same time--

A man wearing an earpiece and smoking a cigarette appeared in a certain part of the old town.

The man stopped at the narrow street corner, put down the sign he was carrying on his shoulder, and straightened it. The large, bright red characters on the black background of the sign were extremely eye-catching!

—No entry ahead!

"By the way, I heard that things have been a bit unsettled in the old town lately, with a psychopathic killer around!" Li Yifei suddenly said, as if he had just remembered something.

Before they could finish their conversation, Ling Yue interrupted them. "Wang Shao, which direction is your house in?" Ling Yue trembled, he couldn't wait any longer. Like a child being forced to recite something in order by a teacher, he trembled, not from fear, but from excitement, both mentally and physically!

Even the Five Elements Lock on his left wrist emitted an even stronger light, drawing people's attention...

"Just turn right up ahead, what's wrong?" Wang Shao answered honestly; he dared not provoke this rich and domineering "boss".

"You all stay here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges..." Ling Yue didn't explain, but instead said something completely unrelated.

The group paused for a few seconds, then reacted and their lips twitched.

Ling Yue walked to the front, but before he could even turn into the alley, an extremely disgusting stench suddenly filled his nostrils. Ling Yue forced himself to suppress any unusual reaction.

"Ugh~" I couldn't hold it in any longer!

Then a faint sense of crisis came from ahead, and then he heard a sound—thump, thump—

There were several footsteps, and then a creature that looked like a human but was also like a dog pounced from the shadows, heading straight for Ling Yue's neck!

Ling Yue reacted with lightning speed, delivering a powerful elbow strike to the masked man's waist, sending it flying. At that moment, those behind him also saw the creature attacking Ling Yue!

It was so thin that it was almost just skin and bones, with two sharp horns on its head, long and sharp claws, scarlet eyes, and a long, disgusting scarlet tongue sticking out.

The masked man is known for eating corpses, and his body smells terrible, especially since he just came out of the sewers. He's definitely at the maximum level of his stench!

Upon smelling the odor, Jiang Qian immediately bent over and vomited. Li Yifei, Wang Shao, and Liu Yuan fared slightly better, only dry heaving a few times. Then, realizing what had happened, they quickly ran out, without even glancing at Ling Yue, the bent-over Jiang Qian, or Lin Qiye, whom they thought was blind.

Before leaving, Liu Yuan even pushed Lin Qiye, trying to knock him down, but fortunately Lin Qiye dodged it.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes, but he didn't think much of it and ran out.

Liu Yuan is like that; he's always lived a self-centered life. Even if you told him to his face that Lin Qiye possessed extraordinary abilities, Liu Yuan wouldn't believe it. Even if Lin Qiye demonstrated them to him, he would express jealousy and say things like, "How could a blind man possess extraordinary abilities?"

That's just how reality is; reality is always more absurd than fiction.

Ling Yue could guess what was going on behind him with his bare hands. It was simply a matter of the men running first and the women running later. Although that was human nature, he still looked down on such people.

"Finally gone, hehehe!" Ling Yue let out a strange laugh from ahead, which made Lin Qiye and Jiang Qian behind him unable to help but give him a Buddha's Fury Lotus...

Having said that, Ling Yue no longer concealed his strength, raised his left hand high in front of him, and shouted, "Five Elements Power! Transform!" Suddenly, a series of songs rang out~

Suddenly, five beams of light, each representing the color of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth," appeared from within the Five Elements Lock on Ling Yue's left hand, and then shot straight into the sky!

Then a large 'gold' suddenly appeared in front of him and entered his body.

To Lin Qiye and Jiang Qian, a series of familiar yet unfamiliar songs rang out, and then Ling Yue's tall body was suddenly enveloped in golden light. He then let out an inhuman roar, and with a tremor, he shook off the golden light.

First came the head, then the claws, the body, the legs, and the tail. Then, the familiar Ironfist Tiger appeared within the light. The light dissipated, and they seemed to see three large characters, but then again, they didn't quite see them.

Wow! Honey, look!

"Which fellow cultivator is about to ascend to immortality? Take me with you!" lamented a netizen who had missed the chance to cultivate.

"Take a picture quickly, then post it on WeChat Moments to show off!"

In a blood-soaked underground

"Damn it, we let three masked men escape!" A young but somewhat weak female voice rang out. The woman was clutching her right shoulder, which appeared to be bleeding.

"Don't say that, Hongying. After all, no one knew that there were actually two Ghost Kings hidden among this group of masked men." The man next to her had also suffered some minor injuries, but he still rallied and comforted her.

"The captain should be able to handle facing two injured Ghost Kings by himself, right?"

"They should be alright, right? Don't forget, the captain is a powerful figure in the River Realm; nothing will happen to him."

The man paused, "I just hope those three masked men who escaped didn't cause any civilian casualties..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light in gold, green, blue, brown, and red shone from another direction. Although it was not oppressive, the light was extremely bright.

"A forbidden realm has emerged, and the energy fluctuations are... very strong!"

"Moreover, these forbidden ruins are divided into five types, each of which is comparable in strength to the previous high-risk forbidden ruins." After saying this, the group fell silent.

Not long after, another beam of light appeared from the same spot, illuminating half the sky!

The five people remained shocked: "That's it!!"

"Scorching, holy, powerful, and with the aura of creation, if I'm not mistaken, this should be... God code name 003, King of Angels, Michael."
