As Far As the Eye Can See, is the Wilderness
"Sister Zhiwei!"
Yao Qing immediately scrambled up from the ground and stumbled over to catch Su Zhiwei's falling figure.
Gurgling fresh blood flowed from Su Zhiwei's nose. Just like Yang Xiao, using a "theory" for the first time and overloading it put their bodies under tremendous pressure, causing them to fall into a coma.
Holding Su Zhiwei, Yao Qing was just about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He temporarily leaned Su Zhiwei against the corner of the wall.
He picked up the military knife on the ground and walked slowly towards the assassin who was knocked out first.
"The books say that those who don't finish off their enemies never have a good end... What if you wake up in a bit, then it will be us who die."
Yao Qing took a deep breath, his hands tightly gripping the hilt of the military knife. Only after making some mental preparations did he close his eyes, grit his teeth, and begin to frantically slash at the assassin's body!
After the first slash fell, the unconscious assassin trembled violently, seemingly about to wake up immediately. But as the second slash cut into the carotid artery in his neck, fresh blood spurted out, and he quickly lost his breath completely, remaining motionless on the spot.
Yao Qing glanced at the mangled corpse on the ground and only felt a wave of nausea, but he still controlled himself, carrying the knife and continuing towards the two people who were kicked away by Su Zhiwei just now.
It wasn't until he had dealt over a dozen slashes to all the assassins here and confirmed they were dead that the knife in Yao Qing's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he began to dry heave violently.
The icy night rain slid down the tips of his hair, slightly alleviating his physiological discomfort. His Adam's apple rolled, and he muttered hoarsely to himself:
"I... have also killed people."
Yao Qing took a deep breath, temporarily tossing aside the thoughts in his mind. Covered in blood, he picked up Su Zhiwei and walked outwards bit by bit...
Right at this moment, the tremors of the earth became increasingly violent!
The entire museum began to shake, the wooden floors creaking. Yao Qing froze for a moment, and his footsteps instantly sped up, sprinting towards the nearest museum side door!
Thump— Thump— Thump—
Muffled loud noises came from underground, as if something was about to break out of the soil. Embroidery diagrams were shaken off the walls onto the ground one after another, and crisp sounds of glass shattering rang out consecutively.
Yao Qing stumbled through the corridors, bypassing one overturned piece of furniture after another, and charged straight out of the museum side door.
With his feet stepping on the ground outside the museum, he breathed rapidly. Holding the unconscious Su Zhiwei, he was just about to look for a hiding place when he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye and looked up at the sky.
Ink-like rain clouds drifted gently with the wind. In the gaps between the clouds, a massive wolf pupil overlapping with the bright moon was silently staring at the earth.
"That is..."
Yao Qing's mouth opened wide unconsciously...
...
"Is it the Fourth-Order domain of [Heavenly Wolf]?"
A car sped along the road. Looking through the car window and seeing the massive wolf pupil between the clouds, Chen Ling's expression was incomparably gloomy.
As early as in the Aurora Domain, Chen Ling had heard Han Meng say that after the Fourth Order of a Divine Path, there is a qualitative change. The key lies in the "Domain" obtained at the Fourth Order. If the first three tiers are only fragmented skill combinations, then starting from the Fourth Order, all skills are extended on the basis of the domain... Moreover, because everyone's spiritual world is different, even for the same Path, the domains might have differences.
Having already stepped into the Fifth-Tier, Nie Yu naturally completely mastered the domain of [Heavenly Wolf]. Even though he was still several kilometers away, he could feel the oppressive feeling of that wolf pupil. And the fact that he could see that wolf pupil meant that he was now also within Nie Yu's domain.
But Chen Ling's doubt was that he had also seen Han Meng's complete version of [Judgment Court] before... The coverage of [Judgment Court] was only a few hundred meters, but the current [Heavenly Wolf] domain had already covered at least several kilometers.
"Is the coverage of the [Heavenly Wolf] domain this large?"
Xiao Chunping's figure flashed through Chen Ling's mind. Even though he knew that the museum was currently guarded by a powerful Path of the Arts user, under the gaze of the wolf pupil, he was still somewhat worried...
His foot on the gas pedal pressed down increasingly heavily, the engine roaring like a beast's low growl as he rapidly approached the museum!

...
Exhibition Hall.
Amidst the fluttering embroidery threads, Nie Yu slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his left pupil had already been replaced by a wolf pupil, and a sharp and sinister aura continuously spread to the surroundings.
"Did those few assassins all fail... What a bunch of trash." Nie Yu's gaze shifted slightly. His field of vision seemed to have overlapped with the wolf pupil on the moon, looking down at the entire domain.
"That man in the brown coat is also on his way back, it seems there isn't much time left."
Swoosh—!!
A hoe whistled through the air, chopping towards the back of his neck from behind. At this moment, Nie Yu seemed to have opened a third eye and instantly tilted his head slightly.
The sharp hoe brushed past his ear, the sweeping gale lifting his hair. That wolf pupil was as cold as frost.
A swarthy man woven from embroidery threads gave a cold snort from behind. Over a dozen figures rushed out from behind him, swarming to surround Nie Yu. Some were bare-handed, some held weapons, like a mighty army.
"I said... wanting to kill me, isn't that easy!"
A cold glint exploded in Nie Yu's eyes, his entire body covered by [Iron Raiment]. With a blur of his figure, he swept out like a cannonball, weaving among the numerous embroidery diagrams. Under that pupil possessing an absolute perspective, his movements were agile and precise, like a ghost weaving through a hail of bullets.
A long umbrella spun in the air. Looking at the direction Nie Yu was speeding towards, the young maiden frowned, her mouth opening and closing silently:
"Watch out! His target is the fisherman!"
Above a certain embroidery diagram at this moment, the fisherman wearing a bamboo hat gave a cold snort. Fine fishing line swept out from the river of embroidery threads, rushing towards the rapidly approaching Nie Yu!
On the other hand, Nie Yu not only had not the slightest intention of dodging, the killing intent in his eyes instead grew increasingly intense. He reached back and pulled out his hunting rifle, and a surge of dark red rolled into the gun barrel.
Sensing the terrifying aura in the gun barrel, the fisherman's expression changed slightly. He stood up from the fishing boat without hesitation. While using the fishing line to pin down Nie Yu's figure, he himself went upstream along the river surface, his figure nimbly weaving between different embroidery frames, making it simply difficult to catch with the naked eye!
"In my domain... no one can escape." Nie Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, all the architectural obstructions before his eyes gradually faded into nothingness. The layered walls, the intricate museum, and even the countless fluttering embroidered characters all faded out of his vision. Like a ghost, he actually passed directly through all the walls, chasing after the fishing boat the entire time!
As far as the eye can see, is the wilderness!
In the next moment, Nie Yu pulled the trigger!
Boom—!!
The dark red bullet burst forth from the muzzle of the hunting rifle. As if it had grown eyes, it accurately sped towards the empty embroidery frame where the fisherman appeared, and under the latter's astonished gaze, it exploded with a boom!
The thick wall and the embroidery frame were annihilated into nothingness. The fisherman's figure shattered into countless embroidery thread fragments, scattering and fluttering in the air...
Nie Yu raised his palm, grasped that hunting knife that spun out, and landed firmly on the ground. Beneath his feet was the shattered body of the fisherman.
Among the densely packed embroidery threads, Nie Yu held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. A wolf pupil seemed to pierce through the floorboards, locking onto Xiao Chunping in the Embroidery Room at the edge of the second floor.
"So... you were hiding there."
