Chapter 1620 High Demon Appears

Everyone eagerly awaited the exciting moment.

Unexpectedly, the assassins suddenly turned towards the audience, weapons in hand, and attacked them with swift and decisive moves.

"Aaaaaah!!" Screams, cries for help... all sorts of sounds mingled together, never ceasing.

The culprit who caused all of this watched the tragedy unfold with a smile on his face.

Many people had already run to the door, and it looked like they would be able to escape at any moment.

"Bang!" The person at the very front actually crashed headfirst into the barrier!

"Not good, everyone! Join forces with me to break this formation!"

Among those who came to watch the duel between the assassins were quite a few high-level god-level experts. However, they lacked the courage to face the eighth and ninth-level god-level assassins.

They are human beings; they are afraid of pain, and even more afraid of death.

But the suicide squad is not afraid!

Fighting with such a madman would do them no good!

That's exactly why they fell into the trap carefully set by the black market owner.

With so many people present, if we join forces, we might just be able to fight our way out.

But they backed down, only thinking about escaping, abandoning those with weaker cultivation levels.

Once the assassins have wiped out the low-level cultivators, they will be next!

“It’s time to begin.” The black market owner fiddled with the ring on his hand.

The ring is imbued with the aura of an array.

The barrier surrounding the fighting arena was actually formed by this ring!

"Blood Sacrifice! Open!" With a roar from the black market owner, the sky above, which had been somewhat bright, was suddenly filled with dark clouds that completely obscured the moon.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" A series of eerie gusts of wind extinguished the flames in the fighting arena.

In an instant, everyone's view was obstructed.

Someone used their soul power to condense a flame in an attempt to provide illumination. However, this also brought them a deadly fate.

The assassin's blade slits the throat in an instant!

People kept dying, and the strong, pungent smell of blood almost numbed one's senses.

Finally, apart from the black market owner, there was no one alive left at the scene.

The assassins weren't without their share of casualties; most perished at the hands of onlookers. A smaller number died at the behest of the black market's owner.

The blood sacrifice formation is only missing one last offering.

"Shh!"

The dark clouds overhead dispersed, and the moon, which had turned blood red at some point, seemed to have been soaked in blood, sending chills down one's spine.

The black market owner jumped into the center of the formation without hesitation.

This final sacrifice was himself!

Meanwhile, Ruan Yu met up with Yuan Shilei and then planned to leave.

But the commotion in the black market was just too loud, "Boom!"

A series of powerful thunderbolts could be heard striking the sky above the black market, as if someone had committed a heinous crime.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The strange noise woke up many people in the Black City. They grumbled and cursed as they went outside, their eyes all fixed on the sky above the black market.

"My God! What is that?! Why has the moon turned blood red?" A person pointed at the moon and fell to the ground in terror.

The sky turned red.

Yuan Shilei asked incredulously, "What happened?!"

"My lord, is that you?" He assumed it was Ruan Yu's doing.

Ruan Yu: "It wasn't me."

She had no grudge against those people in the black market, so how could she possibly take so many lives on such a large scale?

Even if she wanted to kill, she wouldn't have made such a commotion.

"Let's go." Ruan Yu turned to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, his body seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.

She suddenly turned around, her pupils dilating as she stared at the towering, red and black aura of malevolence in the distance.

This breath is...

demon!

Has the demon infiltrated the Beast Taming Continent? Or is it omnipresent, and I just never noticed it before?

Now that things had come to this, Ruan Yu could no longer ignore it. Allowing the demon to kill indiscriminately would only make it stronger. Moreover, the demon fed on people's negative emotions; once it devoured a person's negative emotions, that person's life force would also vanish!

This is a disguised form of cannibalism!

If left unchecked, the Beast Taming Continent will soon be devastated!

Ruan Yu never imagined that the black market owner would use a blood sacrifice formation to forcibly summon a demon.

I wish she hadn't left.

It's too late to say anything now; half of the demon has already been summoned!

Perhaps if we rush back now, we can still stop it in time.

"Sir? Weren't you leaving? Why are you going back?" After taking a few steps, Yuan Shilei noticed that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw Ruan Yu's figure flying towards the black market.

He scratched his head: "The master is probably trying to get rid of me this time, to keep me out of danger."

"But can you really handle this imposing aura, sir?"

Yuan Shilei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to follow. He knew he was too weak, and if he went, Ruan Yu would have to be distracted to protect him, so it was better not to go.

"Father, our master is in trouble! Please send someone to help him immediately!" After much thought, Yuan Shilei finally asked his father for help.

Yuan family.

After checking the contents of the communication stone, Yuan's father confirmed them three times.

Then he grinned from ear to ear: "In trouble? It would be better if you were dead! You unfilial son, you colluded with outsiders to covet my position and swindled me out of so much money and treasure! When you come back, I'll skin you alive!"

Yuan Shijie is dead, and this matter cannot be undone.

His only legitimate children were Yuan Shilei and Yuan Shijie. For the sake of bloodline continuation, no matter how angry Yuan's father was, he could not kill Yuan Shilei to vent his anger.

A slight punishment will suffice.

As for Ruan Yu, fearing she might not die, Yuan's father specially dispatched his two strongest bodyguards, who were also his hidden trump cards!

"Go, kill this woman!" He made a rubbing of Ruan Yu's portrait.

Mr. Yuan was a shrewd old fox who deeply understood that nothing is absolute: "Wait, let's find out what's going on first, and only act if we're sure we can kill her. If we're not completely sure, then we'll help her."

"Yes!" The guard acknowledged the order and then disappeared.

The moment Ruan Yu appeared in the black market, the black market owner sensed her presence.

"Why are you back again? Can't bear to leave me?" he transmitted his voice, his tone teasing and playful.

Ruan Yu's tone was unusually cold: "You've colluded with the devil."

"..." After a two-second silence, the other person said, "Get out of here. This is none of your business. Remember, the farther you run, the better."

"I can only buy you the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. After that, everyone in Black Night City and the surrounding cities will die!"

Ruan Yu teleported to the fighting arena.

When she left, the fighting arena was perfectly fine, but now it's a complete ruin. Except for the fighting ring, everything else is rubble.

The corpses were all sucked into the formation, leaving only a small amount of bloodstains on the ground and walls.

The black market owner, half-embedded in the formation, was startled when he saw Ruan Yu approaching, then hurriedly shouted, "Go!"

Ruan Yu ignored him, drew her sword, and its cold light flashed!
