Chapter 689: Chapter 379 Chen Sheng Seems to Have Died

“You Ren!”

The light that burst forth was reflected in the pupils.

As the alarm bells in his mind clanged wildly, Lie Yan immediately reacted.

“Understood.”

The words had barely left his mouth.

When You Ren already provided an answer.

The two men had been Martial Gods for many years, their understanding and coordination with each other already perfect.

You Ren’s shadow at his feet twisted and spread out like the tide in all directions.

In an instant,

it had already covered the surroundings.

Next second.

The shadow rose from the ground like a gaping maw, engulfing everyone around.

Their figures disappeared from sight.

At the same time.

Lie Yan also cut off the pendant’s sensing function, causing the light to dissipate.

From the onset of change,

it was merely a moment’s effort.

You Ren had already coordinated with Lie Yan to complete the concealment.

The speed could not be said to be slow.

“Keep calm.”

“Let’s observe the situation first.”

The voice echoed in everyone’s minds.

While speaking,

Lie Yan’s calm gaze swept around, trying to detect any trace of the enemy or the source of the anomaly.

Hmm?

Upon closer inspection,

Lie Yan quickly perceived something was amiss.

Looking around,

on the ground five hundred meters away from the group,

what should have been an empty scorched earth now showed visible distortions in the air.

And during the time Lie Yan was watching, the degree of distortion was intensifying.

This was not simply a reaction caused by high temperatures, but something more severe.

It seemed as if someone or something had already been lurking in that area, slowly revealing its form.

And until now,

Lie Yan still couldn’t sense their aura.

“Everyone.”

“Prepare for battle.”

As the solemn words resounded,

gazing around, Lie Yan’s frown deepened.

The distortion spread like a plague, incessantly.

It had already taken over all directions, leaving no gaps.

If it was the enemy… a battle would be hard to avoid.

Therefore,

Lie Yan ordered everyone to prepare for combat.

“If a battle ensues,”

“Chen Sheng, you and I will take the lead in the fight.”

“You Ren, Shi Jian, Qing He, you three stand by to support at any time.”

“If the number of enemies is too great or they are too powerful, then retreating will only be possible with your help.”

At this point,

his gaze particularly fixed on Qing He and Shi Jian.

“I know you both have your own thoughts,”

“but whether to save your own life or to save others,”

“facing such circumstances, where the law collapses and the enemy hides in darkness, it’s not something you can do alone.”

“If you don’t want it all to be for nothing, you must maintain team cooperation.”

Upon hearing this,

Qing He and Shi Jian felt the weight of the warning gaze upon them, and couldn’t help but feel solemn.
