As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone present was utterly shocked.

A living person had mysteriously vanished right under their noses.

However, before they could react.

Pei Jing moved swiftly, striding across in just a few steps, extending a hand enveloped in dazzling lights, as if passing through an ethereal illusion.

On the other side.

The person who disappeared was Chen Hui.

In the previous moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

Instinctively, he turned his head slightly.

Halfway through the turn, he regretted it.

In such a bizarre place, one couldn't afford the slightest carelessness.

But it was too late.

Even though he quickly realized something was wrong and forcibly turned his head back, everyone in front of him vanished in an instant.

"I'm the one who's disappeared!"

His body and mind trembled violently, erupting with sky-high energy, and he turned around in an instant.

A creature standing on two legs, resembling a fox, immediately came into view.

Its fur was pitch-black and disheveled, its body emaciated like a taxidermied animal, the size of an eight or nine-year-old child, with empty eye sockets flickering with purple flames, silently staring at him.

As if it were looking at a dead man!

Chen Hui was instantly enraged, throwing a punch, two blazing flames shot out from his right arm, intertwining and bursting forth with terrifying might, directly bombarding the strange creature.

Bang!

Sparks exploded across the sky, dazzling to the extreme.

Even the air carried a burnt smell.

Yet the strange creature remained motionless, blasted to pieces directly!

But before he could rejoice.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

With two thuds.

The strange creature reappeared before him, unscathed.

And there was another one exactly like it!

They.

Still quietly watching Chen Hui, without making a move.

Chen Hui was shocked, but soon, his gaze turned cold.

As a transcendent, moreover an Apostle Level transcendent, he believed in the supremacy of power, either smashing the enemy or being smashed by the enemy.

Why are you staring straight at me?

Do I owe you money?

"Die for me!" Chen Hui roared, his body surging with unrivaled waves of energy, instantly reaching them, grabbing each strange creature by the neck, and slamming them together with great force.

Boom!

Like thunder and fire meeting.

The void trembled violently, a pillar of fire instantly surged, turning the two strange creatures to ash!

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

"How come there are four more!?" Chen Hui felt a chill on his scalp, unable to remain calm, wary of acting recklessly.

Yet, within just a few breaths.

Four turned into eight!

Eight turned into sixteen!

The numbers increased rapidly with accelerating speed.

In that moment, an image flashed in Chen Hui's mind that he would be completely overwhelmed by these strange creatures!

"I can't sit here and wait for death!"

His face turned pale, quickly wanting to leave this place.

But no matter where he ran, those strange creatures, like maggots burrowing into his bones, appeared there as well.

He couldn't shake them off!

Moreover, he found.

His attacks could slow down the rapid increase in the number of strange creatures.

But it only delayed them for about ten seconds, hardly noticeable.

Yet if he stopped attacking, the speed of their increase would accelerate infinitely.

Suffocation!

Unparalleled suffocation.

Human strength has its limits, but these strange creatures seemed limitless, able to split endlessly.

As if they wouldn't stop until he'd been buried!

At this moment, Chen Hui's inner fear uncontrollably erupted, and along with it, the energy within him was drained to the extreme, frantically pouring out.

It seemed that he was just trying to find a chance of survival during those few delayed seconds.

He once suspected that this was an illusion.

Because, aside from an illusion, what else could be so unreasonable?

To split into so many.

As if to fill the entire world.

But even if it was an illusion, he couldn't break through it.

Energy was being depleted bit by bit, and the number of strange creatures was increasing to an incredible extent, completely surrounding him, with some even less than half a meter away.

He could hardly move!

Just as he was losing all hope, suddenly, from amidst the densely packed strange creatures, a human arm reached out.

"I've found you."

The voice was extremely cold, yet in Chen Hui's ears, it was like a heavenly sound.

"Lord Pei, I'm here!"

The next second.

He saw Pei Jing forcefully break in, grabbing one of the strange creatures, an unparalleled power erupting instantly.

The strange creatures that filled the world disappeared in an instant.

The sky and earth cleared!

Leaving only the one in Pei Jing's hand.

At the same time.

From Chen Hui's perspective.

Around him, the people who had disappeared slowly reappeared.

"Chen Hui?"

"You've reappeared?" Someone looked at Chen Hui with a strange expression.

Someone else noticed the strange creature in Pei Jing's hand: "What the heck is that thing!?"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone looked closely and saw that in Pei Jing's hand, there was a strange creature that was more like a corpse than a living being.

Because the strange creature in Pei Jing's hand was motionless, its entire body as stiff as a mummy.

It seemed to have no life signs, except for the purple flames flickering in its hollow eye sockets.

Pei Jing carefully observed the strange creature in his hand, and with his knowledge, he still couldn't recognize what this thing was.

"It's really bizarre, like it's hovering between life and death..."

Pei Jing muttered to himself, trying to loosen his grip a bit.

Yet found that the thing began to fade away, as if disappearing from the real world instantly.

This discovery made him tighten his grip again.

"This thing has the ability to condense false space-time, Qiu Ran, come and give me a hand, hold it steady."

Qiu Ran, who didn't understand what was happening, obediently came over and grabbed the strange creature's neck: "Like this?"

"Yes, I'll try letting go to see what happens." With that, Pei Jing slowly released his grip.

Until he found the strange creature's body didn't dematerialize, he was relieved.

As a transcendent with the Time Ability, he was quite interested in this kind of thing.

If possible, it should be taken back for research, as it might have other uses.

"And then?"

Qiu Ran looked at Pei Jing and lifted the strange creature slightly.

Pei Jing explained: "This thing might be one of the culprits who exiled Shen Chan and others to other time-spaces, and it needs to be researched, but it must be held this way to not escape. You'll have to bear with it, just hold onto it like that."

"..." Qiu Ran's expression turned resentful.

He glanced around.

There were so many people here, yet you chose me for this task.

The others, meeting Qiu Ran's gaze, immediately looked away.

No way, they wouldn't want such a creepy thing even as a gift.

Though it seemed safe and harmless, who knew if it might silently disappear like Chen Hui had experienced just now.
