Chapter 692 - Alien

Chapter 692: Alien

The night sky seemed like a vast black shroud as it descended and enveloped the entire city. But the darkness was kept at bay by the profusion of random and colorful lights that provided its dwellers the familiar illumination of the city's nightlife.

Tan Zisheng and Bai Xia walked out of the hotel and were still in a deep state of shock. What they saw in the private room challenged their understanding of the laws of nature. How could a bottle of beer hover in the air? What kind of force or energy did Xiao Luo apply?

"Zisheng, do you think Mr. Xiao… Is he a monster?"

Bai Xia muttered as she sat in the passenger seat still unable to contain the emotion in her heart.

Tan Zisheng was still in a daze as he drove his car and did not reply to her. The fact was, he was equally dumbstruck and wondered the same thing. A monster? He certainly looked like one! How could such things exist in this world?

"Zisheng, you were joking about breaking off the engagement with me, weren't you?"

"I knew it was a joke. You still love me, or you wouldn't have protected me from that monster."

"Zisheng, should we tell your father that Mr. Xiao is a monster?"

Bai Xia had not stopped blabbering since she got into the car. After calming down a little, she repeatedly raised the subject of their engagement.

Tan Zisheng found her whining increasingly unbearable, and he couldn't take it anymore. He turned and glared at Bai Xia. "Can you f*cking shut up and let me have some peace?" he roared.

Right after he spoke, the car suddenly jolted to a violent stop with a loud bang.

CRASH!

They saw nothing but web-like cracks splattered across the entire windshield. In that same instant, the airbags in the console automatically deployed, preventing both Tan Zisheng and Bai Xia from smashing their heads into the front of the car.

Thankfully, Tan Zisheng was not driving fast, merely cruising at about 40 miles per hour. The airbag undoubtedly prevented the two of them from suffering severe injuries, though it left them a little dazed but still aware and able to function.

What is going on?

The car was cruising at a steady speed along the road and he saw no obstructions on the road. What did it hit? A street lamp post?

Tan Zisheng was somewhat confused and had no idea what was going on. He pushed the door open and alighted from the car. Bai Xia pushed the door open as well, but had some trouble squeezing through the car door. And when they looked at the front of the car, they were shocked out of their wits! Their pupils dilated, and their jaws dropped! With blood drained from their faces, they felt nothing but fear and despair spread to every part of their bodies.

Their skins crawled, and a shiver ran down their spines!

Shaking, they instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Standing right in front of the car was a man at least 1.8 meters tall figure, towering over them like a tall pine tree. The car had smashed into him, but he wasn't thrown back or even injured. Instead, the hood of the car caved in and wrapped around the motionless figure. It was as though he was planted in the ground like a utility pole, and that was exactly the damage that his car sustained when it smashed into him.

The tall man was garbed in a white robe and wore a jade pendant around his neck. His ears were pale, almost white with a hint of red in them. The shape of his ears was unique, as both the front and back of parts of the ears were identical, with ridges looking like a carved art piece. His skin was fair-looking with delicate features, and he tied up his long black hair in a topknot pierced with a bamboo hairpin. He smelled faintly of musk, and incredibly, his pupils were purple.

He emanated an aura that could only be described as "immortal energy," and the way he looked down his nose gave others the impression that the life forms in this world weren't worth his consideration.

There was another tall man beside him, also dressed in white, and he had purple eyes as well. However, this man was thinner, and while his looks could not be compared to the first man, he still looked handsome and rather cool. They both had good appearances, especially that first man who stood towering over them. Not only did he appear like an immortal, but his looks could also even be described as "pretty."

"Who… Who are you?"

Tan Zisheng could not stop trembling, for these two men exuded a dominating presence and a god-like bearing that made people want to prostrate before them in worship. Their towering height contributed in no small part to that perception, and Tan Zisheng could only cower as he stared up to these two titans.

The two tall men acted as though they did not hear his question. The thin man said to the fair-looking white-dressed man, "Your Majesty, why is this world filled with metal lumps that can run? I find them so annoying."

"I find them annoying too!"

The man in white spoke coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible energy field burst from his motionless body and flipped Tan Zisheng's car violently into the air as if a heavy blow had struck it. The fair-looking tall man in white suddenly unsheathed the long sword at his waist and casually slashed it.

SLASH!

An invisible blade sliced the steel car in half like it was a cut of beef.

The edges of the cut were clean like a powerful laser had burned through it!

The two halves of the car fell to the ground in a loud crash, like two piles of metal scrap.

"GASP!"

Tan Zisheng sucked in a breath of air as he fell to the ground and looked in shock.

"Ahhh!"

Bai Xia screamed hysterically as most girls would, and she froze in fear.

It was terrifying, and she had never seen such an extraordinary and shocking scene!

SWOOSH!

The thinner man suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xia, almost like he had teleported there. He lifted Bai Xia's chin with his sword sheath and studied her briefly. "This is a woman of this world? She is hardly attractive at all, and no match for the women of our Light Clan!"

He pulled his scabbard away and turned away with an expression of utter disdain. "This world is a filthy place. The spiritual energy is thin, and the air and environment are worse than our filth processing station. It's a miracle that so many people can exist in this world!"

Then turning to Tan Zisheng, sprawled on the ground in fear, he continued berating the humans. "Low constitution, low combat ability, and a sickly complexion. It is precisely what to expect from those who live in this filthy environment!"

He turned around and looked at the fair-looking man in white. "Your Majesty, did you not say that there are guardians, who have formed a pact with our Secret Territory, and that we are not to encroach into their world? Where are they? I can't wait to fight them. I want to see if their fighting prowess is as strong as is rumored. But, seeing how filthy this world is, I those rumors hard to believe."

"Let's go!"

The fair-looking man only gave him an abrupt reply and turned around to leave.

The thin man quickened his pace to catch up. He casually held both his hands behind his head as he gazed skyward and walked arrogantly as if he didn't have a care in the world.

Tan Zisheng and Bai Xia were still in a stupor as they gawked at the backs of the two departing men, and then they turned to stare at the car, now two heaps of scrap. Terrified, they shuddered uncontrollably.

Who were those two guys?

What exactly was happening to their world?

Where did these two terrifying beings come from?

Tan Zisheng and Bai Xia were lost for words, their hearts were racing, and the hair was standing on ends. They were so afraid that they forgot to take out their phones to call the police.
