Chapter 185: Barrier Envelops, Devil Worship Society Attacks
Lin Moyu looked up at the suddenly appearing barrier, his heart unmoved.
No matter when the Devil Worship Society acted, it was within expectations.
From what Bai Yiyuan had said, he knew they would either not act at all, or definitely act before the Career Holder Tournament ended.
Otherwise, once the tournament ended and career holders left Nanhong City, scattered across the country, it would be difficult to find them again.
Now, they were in Nanhong City.
The legendary career holders who hadn’t fully grown were in Nanhong City.
The champion teams were in Nanhong City.
They could be caught in one net.
If something happened to them, it would be a severe blow to both the Divine Summer Empire and all of humanity.
This would be far more damaging than destroying a city.
Killing any number of ordinary career holders couldn’t compare to killing one legendary career holder.
If this succeeded, at least several legendary career holders could be killed.
Strangling them in the cradle before they grew up was the best choice.
The Demon Kings in the Abyss didn’t want humanity to produce more experts like the White God.
"What’s going on!"
"What happened!"
"Is this a barrier? My god, such a huge barrier. Did some god-level career holder act?"
"What are they trying to do!"
The previously quiet residential area became lively.
Career holders sensed something unusual and came out one after another.
Ning Yiyi ran out of her room to Lin Moyu’s side, "They’ve made their move?"
Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "I didn’t expect it so soon!"
As he spoke, he had already put Bone Armor on himself and Ning Yiyi.
The door opened, and Jiang Taotao, Duan Gao, and Miao Yu quickly ran over.
Lin Moyu first put Bone Armor on the three of them, "Be careful later!"
The three didn’t understand what was happening.
Seeing Lin Moyu’s grave expression, "What’s going on?"
Lin Moyu said softly, "The Devil Worship Society."
Jiang Taotao’s face changed drastically, "What? How dare they act at this time?"
"This is Nanhong City, hosting the Career Holder Tournament. How dare these rat bastards act now?"
Duan Gao and Miao Yu’s faces also changed drastically.
They all knew of the Devil Worship Society’s existence.
These demon-worshipping lunatics were human themselves, yet constantly sought to destroy humanity.
More career holders ran out, looking at the huge barrier in the sky with disbelief.
Lightning flickered within the barrier.
Crack!
Thunder and lightning flashed, instantly turning night to day in Nanhong City.
Massive electric snakes writhed within the barrier, rushing towards the career holders.
The career holders cried out, taking battle stances.
Such a large barrier required at least a top-tier barrier master to set up.
Its power must be terrifying.
As the lightning approached, before even touching ground, the earth in the residential area began to crack.
The ground shook like doomsday had arrived.
"So terrifying!"
"My god, we’re going to die!"
"It’s over, we can’t block this!"
"What do we do? Are we going to die here?"
Many career holders felt despair rising in their hearts.
Such a powerful attack was simply beyond their ability to resist.
Even Lin Moyu’s expression was grave. He wasn’t sure if his Bone Armor could block it.
Suddenly two huge protective domes rose in the career holder residential area, blocking all the lightning outside.
At the same time, arrow lights shot out from the residential area towards the barrier.
The arrow lights exploded, making the barrier violently shake. All the lightning vanished in that instant.
The barrier hummed, and large amounts of black mist flew out.
Ten masked figures in black appeared in the air.
They stood in mid-air, their auras immense.
All ten black-robed figures were top-tier career holders over level 70, without exception.
Then another person appeared, his aura even more vast.
Lin Moyu’s pupils contracted.
Though this person wasn’t as strong as the White God, he was at least an apex career holder over level 80.
On par with Councilman Xu Wei seen in the afternoon.
The black-robed figures all wore masks made of special materials.
Ning Yiyi shook her head, "I can’t see clearly."
Her Shadow Vision couldn’t see through the masks to the faces behind.
"It’s over, it’s the Devil Worship Society."
"How is this possible? How could they come here?"
"They’ve really gotten bold, daring to act in the Divine Summer Empire. Doesn’t the White God exterminate them?"
"That’s if the White God can find them. These people hide too deeply."
Some recognized the black-robed figures’ attire.
These black-robed figures had special symbols on their sleeves and collars.
The symbols were Abyss Demon King totems.
The symbols were actually all different, as each Devil Worship Society member worshipped a different Demon King.
But without exception, they could be recognized at a glance as Devil Worship Society symbols.
One apex career holder over level 80, ten top-tier career holders over level 70.
Such a combination was extremely powerful anywhere.
It was more than enough to destroy some small factions.
The Devil Worship Society leader snorted coldly, "Kill!"
One word, cold and merciless.
Nine of his subordinates immediately flew down.
Some took out bows, some took out staves, some took out swords.
Light from buffs flashed on their bodies.
They formed a team, with a level 70+ Battle King support providing buffs.
The nine split up towards the two residential areas - six to the high-level career holder area, three to the low-level area.
Their attacks landed, and the protective domes in the residential areas flashed brightly, blocking the attacks.
But under their powerful assault, the domes seemed on the verge of collapse, clearly unable to last long.
Though the career holders in the residential areas were afraid and terrified, not one retreated.
They all prepared for battle.
This was what true career holders were - never fearing life and death.
Waves surged as large numbers of Abyss monsters rushed out of the ocean.
Countless thousands, endless numbers.
These Abyss monsters had long been hidden under the sea, only acting now.
Clearly the Devil Worship Society had prepared well in advance.
These Abyss monsters were different from those Lin Moyu had seen in the Elemental Battlefield.
These monsters were originally sea creatures, corrupted by Abyss power and turned into Abyss monsters.
"Kill!"
"Sweet human flesh, here I come!"
"Hidden for so many days, finally we can eat human flesh!"
Large numbers of Abyss demons rushed out along with the Abyss monsters, roaring with bloodthirsty excitement.
Alarms sounded in Nanhong City.
Large numbers of combat career holders gathered.
There were still many career holders in Nanhong City trapped within the barrier.
They formed teams, applied buffs, and prepared for battle.
The Abyss monsters that rushed ashore charged into Nanhong City, clashing with the career holders.
Lin Moyu suddenly saw his wrist glowing.
It was the black mist left from touching the box earlier.
Now the black mist flashed brightly, making Lin Moyu stand out conspicuously in the crowd.
Not just him, but Ning Yiyi, Jiang Taotao and the others were the same.
All the champion team members now shone like beacons.
"Over here, kill them!"
The Abyss demons seemed to have found their targets, directing tens of thousands of Abyss monsters to charge over.
