Xi Renjie's body slammed heavily onto the ground.
The figure opposite him, gripping a steel sword, walked slowly towards him. At the same time, the steel sword in his hand continuously transformed—into a broom, a candle, tentacles, a plunger... They were unbelievable things, like a malfunctioning TV screen, wildly alternating and switching, dizzying to watch.
Before Xi Renjie could even stand up, the red specter suddenly flashed before him, raising the transforming sword high and stabbing down fiercely!
Clang!!
The cane scraped against the [Iron Clothes], emitting dazzling sparks.
A terrifying force transmitted from Chen Yifei's hands to the fishing rod, piercing through Xi Renjie's skin bit by bit. The latter was pinned to the ground, using all his strength to gather the [Iron Clothes] to block the tennis racket. Even so, his face visibly paled.
At this moment, the earth beneath everyone's feet suddenly trembled.
Chen Yifei slightly tilted his head, his hollow eyes turning to look at the charred warehouse. At the deepest part of the wall surface, a trace of gray gradually spread from nothingness...
He loosened his grip on the steel sword and turned to leave, the countless red paper butterflies gradually converging and reversing back into the wide sleeves.
"Officer Xi!"
"Officer Xi!! Are you okay?"
Several law enforcement officers who were still standing immediately dropped the bananas in their hands and hurried over.
Xi Renjie, who had narrowly escaped death, drew in a sharp breath. He pulled out the sword tip that had embedded several centimeters into his chest, and blood spread along his clothing. If it had gone in a little deeper, his heart would have been pierced.
"...I'm fine." Xi Renjie stood up with the help of everyone, looking at the departing red figure with eyes full of shock and fear.
Although the battle was short, the impact it brought them was too great... They had never heard of any divine path possessing such a strange skill, and the opponent had only used this one skill from start to finish.
Xi Renjie could see that the other party actually didn't have much killing intent. Otherwise, within thirty seconds, he could have killed everyone here.
"He just left?"
"Wait, why is he going back to the warehouse? Isn't that a dead end?"
"...The Gray Realm is intersecting! The Gray Realm is intersecting!"
Someone with sharp eyes saw the trace of gray deep inside the warehouse and exclaimed immediately. Xi Renjie's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't it said that the Gray Realm intersection is at the steel plant? Why is there another intersection here?!
At the same time, the Gray Realm intersecting at two places... This situation should not happen within the Aurora Realm.
That red figure walked through the charred centipede corpses and stopped in front of the wall stained gray. Then he slowly raised his hand and pressed it against the wall... As ripples spread across the wall, he stepped into it, and his figure completely disappeared.
"He entered the Gray Realm." Xi Renjie spoke slowly.
"A human entering the Gray Realm? Isn't he afraid of death?" One law enforcement officer's face was full of shock. "The Gray Realm is the territory of those disasters. Humans who enter will be discovered and attacked immediately... Moreover, the entrances and exits of the Gray Realm intersections are unstable. What if the entrance and exit disappear halfway?"
"This is not something we should worry about."
Xi Renjie shook his head. Since that red figure was not a law enforcement officer, they naturally couldn't control where he wanted to go... Furthermore, they couldn't control it. The other party's strength was unfathomable. Instead of worrying about others, they should worry about District Three themselves.
Xi Renjie's gaze fell aside, only to see the numerous bananas scattered on the ground. Under his gaze, they transformed into guns again. This time, Xi Renjie still couldn't see how it happened.
"This guy... What is his background?"
Xi Renjie muttered to himself.
...
"Is this the Gray Realm..."
After a slight dizzy sensation, Han Meng's feet steadily landed on the black earth.
He looked around. The gray-black sky pressed down on his head like heavy lead. In the distance were rugged peaks that had fallen into darkness, and some strange buildings that couldn't be identified, chaotically embedded in various parts of the earth. The place where he had just landed was precisely a gray vortex in the emptiness above.
Han Meng looked down, and his body seemed to have a filter added to it. His black windbreaker remained unchanged, but other colors were erased.
The red line at the edge of his shirt, the dark brown shoe surface, even the silver pattern at the end of the windbreaker, were all downgraded to monotonous gray.
This world seemed to only accommodate black, gray, and white, with no other colors existing.
This was Han Meng's first time entering the Gray Realm. Although he had heard some legends about the Gray Realm before, it was only when he personally stood in this world that he could truly experience that elusive "otherworldly feeling". This place was completely different from the human realm.
Han Meng glanced at the group of shadow centipedes crawling rapidly in a certain direction on the black earth, and his body flew up again, following closely after them!
As Han Meng's body gradually rose, his vision became broader. He could see the continuous mountains in the distance and the giant shadows faintly swaying on the mountains... But what concerned Han Meng more were the nascent vortex prototypes forming around him.
Compared to the pit where Han Meng landed, these vortices were still quite small, but they were steadily expanding. If given more time, they should be able to take shape completely.
Every nascent vortex here was a soon-to-be-formed intersection between the two realms.
"How is this possible..." Han Meng looked at the dense prototypes of intersection points, and his heart sank.
It must be known that Han Meng entered the Gray Realm from the factory area of District Three, and the space corresponding to here was precisely the range of District Three and several surrounding major districts. If such a large-scale Gray Realm intersection really occurred, it would be beyond the ability of these few law enforcement officers to counter... This would be a disaster for the seven major districts!
Just as Han Meng was tracking the shadow centipedes, a huge black shadow suddenly enveloped his body. Han Meng's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the next moment, a mountain-sized white bone claw descended from the sky!
Boom!!
A skeletal giant eagle crashed down, slamming Han Meng's body into the black earth, and dust flew everywhere.
In the broken earth, Han Meng's body was stuck in the gap of the white bone claw. A huge skeletal head hung low and gazed at him, emitting a fierce aura no weaker than the shadow centipede's parent body!
Targeted.
Han Meng's heart sank immediately.
