“Hehehe….”
Just as Qu Huaiwei and the others were shocked, that hoarse, dry, and terrifying laughter rang out again.
Xuan Hao turned to look.
Behind him, the long spear formed by black mist had silently pierced his chest.
The spearhead emerged from his body, trailing illusory black mist.
And the one holding the long spear was none other than the black-robed man.
Beneath his hood, his crimson eyes flickered with a mocking expression: “In the dream I wove, this is the first time I’ve encountered an opponent with such powerful Mental Energy like you. You are truly formidable.”
His voice carried a hint of admiration, which then turned to mockery:
“It’s just a pity that here, my existence is the Law itself. As long as this dream realm doesn’t perish, I am immortal!”
Before he finished speaking, he twisted the long spear.
But Xuan Hao remained motionless.
There was no pain on his face, no astonishment, not even a ripple of emotion.
Xuan Hao raised his hand, his movements seemingly slow, yet he grasped the black-robed man’s neck, which was formed from black mist.
“How is this possible?”
A hint of surprise flashed in the black-robed man’s pupils.
He could clearly feel an irresistible power of confinement instantly locking onto his core consciousness.
In a woven dream, a physically manifested body suffering damage is as fatal as in reality.
But this long-robed young man before him…
He had been pierced through a vital part of his chest, yet he was completely unharmed.
Not even his Mental Energy was disturbed.
“This is impossible!”
The black mist spear in the black-robed man’s hand gradually dissipated, then re-condensed, stabbing towards other parts of Xuan Hao’s body!
Heart, throat, head, abdomen…
He was like a frenzied assassin, flickering wildly around Xuan Hao, attacking relentlessly, each strike piercing a vital point.
However… it was useless!
No matter which part of Xuan Hao’s body he pierced, no matter how fatal the injury he inflicted, Xuan Hao’s figure remained as solid as ever.
The pierced parts did not bleed, did not dissipate, not even a ripple was stirred.
“Absolutely impossible!”
The Nightmare completely collapsed.
He stopped his futile attacks, looking at the young man before him as if he were seeing a ghost, the crimson light in his eyes trembling violently.
“You… what exactly are you? Why, why can’t you be killed?!”
….
Xuan Hao’s expression was calm.
In the real world, he might still need to be wary of physical Laws.
But here, in this dimension constructed by Mental Energy, he was almost invincible.
He was a True Immortal!
The essence of his Primordial Spirit had long transcended the mundane.
Even though he had just arrived, and his Primordial Spirit was damaged and not yet fully condensed…
The Rank of his Primordial Spirit was so high that it was absolutely not something this Nightmare, born from the authority of an outer god, could shake.
To destroy him on a mental level…
Unless it was an existence of the same Rank as him.
“Die.”
Xuan Hao finally spoke.
His voice was calm and unruffled, yet it was like the final judgment.
As his words fell…
Boom—!!!
The entire dream realm, shrouded in gray mist, began to vibrate violently.
The sky was torn apart by power.
An indescribably vast, faintly discernible phantom of a giant head, like a divine demon splitting heaven and earth, slowly emerged from the torn sky.
The outline of that head, with its enormous eyes like cold stars, looked down upon the tiny Nightmare below!
Divine Sense—Myriad Phenomena Senro!
Boom—!!!
There was no light, no explosion.
Only a vast power, capable of erasing all traces of existence, instantly swept across the location of the Nightmare.
“No….”
The black-robed man let out a cry of fear and unwillingness.
The next moment, his body, composed of black mist, along with his core consciousness, that crimson speck, instantly solidified, shattered, and then…
Completely vanished into nothingness!
Not even dust was left behind.
Xuan Hao withdrew his hand, as if merely brushing away insignificant dust.
He glanced at Qu Huaiwei and the others, who were still in shock, nodded slightly, and then gradually dissipated into the thick fog.
….
At the same time, in reality.
On the outskirts of Chenxi City, in the center of barren farmland, there was a dilapidated village.
In one of the houses, a dim yellow light flickered, and a few worn wooden tables and chairs were casually placed.
Several figures sat around a worn square table.
“Ugh… Ah!”
A painful groan came from the shadows in the corner.
Everyone became alert and turned to look.
In the corner, the thin man who had been sitting cross-legged clutched his head with both hands, his facial muscles twisted and twitching.
“What’s wrong with you?”
The group quickly gathered around him.
The thin man struggled a few times, and the faint red light in his eyes completely extinguished.
“Old Ghost is dead?”
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
“What happened? He was fine just now, wasn’t he supposed to be on ‘night patrol’? How did he die in an instant?”
“Is the opponent’s strength that great?”
“To be able to kill Old Ghost instantly, the opponent’s strength has probably surpassed A-level martial artist!”
“As far as I know, the number of A-level martial artists in Chenxi City doesn’t exceed the fingers on one hand, and I know all these people. They couldn’t have killed Old Ghost.”
Everyone exchanged glances, discussing animatedly.
The sexy woman next to them raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:
“Old Ghost has an ancient relic that can weave dreams, making him almost immortal. An A-level martial artist couldn’t have erased him in an instant!”
“Could it be… an S-Class Martial Artist made a move?”
Hearing the words “S-Class,” everyone’s eyes flickered.
“That’s unlikely, isn’t it?”
“There is indeed an S-Class Martial Artist in Chenxi City, but this person is not in Chenxi City. We had inquired about this beforehand.”
Everyone chattered, their voices filled with shock.
Old Ghost was one of the core combat strengths of the organization.
He was responsible for eliminating threats on a mental level, gathering intelligence, and even conducting “dream infiltration” assassinations.
His power and strangeness were an important reliance for the organization to survive under official crackdown!
Now, Old Ghost had been silently…
Erased in an instant by an unknown entity!
The sexy woman spoke up: “We were just ambushed yesterday. Judging by their modus operandi, they shouldn’t belong to the government.”
“Are you saying that another organization attacked us?” Everyone looked at each other.
“I’m afraid so.”
The sexy woman nodded in agreement.
“No matter what….”
On the sofa, a bald man slowly stood up, his burly figure casting a huge shadow under the oil lamp.
His eyes were cold: “Since they dared to provoke us, whether it’s the government or not, we must teach them a lesson.”
“Boss, what do you want to do?”
“It’s not about what I want to do.” The bald man snorted coldly, “They have already declared war. Since that’s the case, we’ll just kill a chicken to warn the monkeys.”
