Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 74: Chapter 73: The Evil Omen Must Die (Part 19)_1

“First, I need you to take her to the Night Watchmen Base,”

Fu Qian could feel Su Gao’s trust in him and didn’t hesitate, pointing at the woman who had fainted.

“After that, we split up and move as quickly as possible to gather all the Transcendents not from the Huang Family to that place.”

Fu Qian didn’t stress whether they agreed or not, as he believed in Su Gao’s style.

“Then… Evil Omen will automatically come to us.”

“Understood.”

After carefully listening, Su Gao didn’t ask any more questions and immediately wrapped the woman in a bedsheet, lifting her up.

...
How important it was to have a reliable partner!

Watching Su Gao disappear into the distance with the woman, Fu Qian’s face reflected satisfaction.

The groundwork for undermining began.

Theoretically, Evil Omen’s destined death was truly impregnable.

No matter what strategy he employed, Evil Omen could always dodge all possibilities that could lead to its death.

At the same time, it harvested the lives of other Transcendents to complete the sacrifice.

It was like reaching a certain endpoint with countless nodes and forks in the path, yet the protection Evil Omen received always allowed it to choose a perfect route.

Where to go, whom to kill, then where to go next…

It didn’t even have to think; it simply moved on instinct.

Truly untraceable, unrestrained as a wild horse.

Like I said before, this thing is on the A100 (10) order of magnitude.

So, what if all these forks were blocked, leaving just one road in the middle?

Gather all the potential sacrifice targets in one place, leaving only one node.

The problem seems much simpler then!

At the Huang Family, after his own declaration of slaughter, Huang Yuanchang could no longer return, and Fu Qian didn’t think that he, a Seventh Phase, had the capability to forcefully break through the Huang Family Estate on alert.

Gathering the remaining Transcendents at the Night Watchmen Base would leave him completely without options.

Then, they just had to wait for him to show up.

Unless he could withstand the desire to kill within, but unfortunately, from their last encounter, he was already half-mad and likely didn’t have the patience.

Of course, a more violent approach would be to simply clear out all the Transcendents in Xi Yuan City, which would undoubtedly be more effective.

But for a preliminary attempt, there was no need to be so extreme, for the time being.

On the other hand, if he chose to kill, Su Gao might not kill him, but it would be very difficult to get her help.

He remembered vividly the scene where she had shattered his composure.

Of course, if it proves to still be insufficient, then fully activating Shura Mode will also be one of the next options.

…

Boom!

“Evil Omen, I’ve been waiting for you for a long—”

Returning to the Eighth Phase brother’s mansion, a fierce tremor interrupted the full-throated roar midway as Fu Qian cut him off.

Gathering strength, turning, stomping down.

Confronting the approaching shockwave, Fu Qian didn’t dodge this time but chose to meet it head-on.

Rubble flew, the two forces meeting, the impact under his feet abruptly stopped.

Simultaneously, Fu Qian didn’t stop moving and was already rushing towards the Eighth Phase brother’s face.

The man hadn’t even had time to lift his heavy hammer from the ground, shock frozen on his swarthy face.

Hisss!

Fu Qian’s right forearm swelled by a few inches and he grabbed the giant man’s neck again, hoisting him up and slamming him against the wall.

Bang!

The latter’s head jerked back, a crisp thud resounding; the Eighth Phase brother’s eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

The wall behind this man turned out to be made entirely of metal.

…

“Work’s done.”

When Fu Qian carried in the last person to the Night Watchmen Base, the whole place fell silent.

In a corner of the hall, Su Gao stood with her sword, silent, coldly observing everyone.

By her side were three Night Watchmen who didn’t dare even to breathe loudly.

Meanwhile, in the center of the room, various men and women wore faces of shock, unable to understand what had happened.

Most of them bore injuries, clearly evidence that Su Gao also preferred to communicate with physical language.

They had wanted to ask what exactly was going on, but Su Gao’s gaze had scared them into silence, and their anxiety grew even more.

Now, seeing Fu Qian enter, the woman wrapped in a bedsheet screamed out loud.

Even though they were all, in the broadest sense, superheroes, they lacked any dignity.

Fu Qian, with a look of disdain, threw down the Eighth Phase brother, who rolled, protecting his head, nearly knocking himself out cold again.

The latter, whose constitution was still quite robust, had woken up on the way here and had been pretending to be unconscious. Now, he could no longer feign it.

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

Fu Qian counted the number of people present. Aside from the three who had been decapitated on arrival, all the Lincheng freelancers were here.

He was very satisfied with this outcome.

At least half of the experts present had already witnessed Su Gao’s ferocity, and they shivered at his words.

“You all should recognize where you are, so I believe there’s no need for any unnecessary worry. After all, coming here is like returning home.”

“What everyone needs to do is very simple. From now on, all of you must stay here, not leaving this room until I give further notice.”

Fu Qian finished in one breath, and then looked around.

“Any questions?”

As soon as Fu Qian had finished speaking, a muscular arm trembled as it raised, and the voice of Eighth Phase brother shivered.

“Staying here and not eating is fine, but what if someone needs to use the restroom?”

Fu Qian gave him a cold glance.

“Ruminate.”

…

“Mr. Fu.”

Seeing that all the Transcendents had reluctantly accepted their fate, Su Gao quietly asked him.

“Are you sure the Evil Omen will definitely come?”

“Don’t worry, he’ll definitely show up!”

Fu Qian remembered Huang Yuanchang’s maniacal laughter; the man currently couldn’t stop if he tried.

The only thing he was curious about was the state in which this man would make his appearance.

In fact, he was even a little excited about this.

Of course, not about Huang Yuanchang, for this brother who largely followed his instincts, he had no interest.

What excited him was the entity behind Huang Yuanchang.

What kind of response would this high-order existence, beyond anyone’s understanding, have to the situation at hand?

…

Fu Qian quickly got his answer.

Not even an hour later, the base’s main gate was pushed open from the outside.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Huang Yuanchang just walked in like that.

At that moment, he was a far cry from his normally sleazy appearance, his whole body shrouded in mercury-colored mysterious symbols, exuding an indescribable majesty.

This…was quite interesting.

Fu Qian watched with interest the anomaly on Huang Yuanchang’s body.

Apart from the color, it looked somewhat similar to the thing that had appeared after that guy’s head had exploded last time.

That thing had directly caused the Calamity to descend, and his mission to fail. What special effect might this one have?

Facing a room full of Transcendents, Huang Yuanchang showed no fear, steadily making his way to the front.

“Today, all of you will die!”
