Chapter 280 Ambush and Sealing of Heaven and Earth
In the desolate and lifeless streets and alleys of the ancient town, weeds grow wildly among the broken walls and ruins, and the cracked soil mixed with rotten wood chips makes a soft, hoarse crunching sound when stepped on.
The entire town was eerily quiet; there was no wind, no insect chirping, and even the air currents seemed to have completely stopped.
Lin Yuan and An Xin walked side by side, their steps steady, their power and divine light always maintained at their peak.
The tracking pointer continued to tremble wildly in Lin Yuan's palm, its white light pulsating violently, as if warning of an impending deadly crisis.
Looking around, the entire ancient town street was deserted, with not a single person in sight. Only dilapidated houses, mottled walls, and overgrown weeds appeared to be doing nothing, but in reality, there was an undercurrent of tension.
The moment the two stepped into the center of the town!
hum! ! !
A strange, low, demonic sound suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth, instantly swallowing up all the light above the ancient town.
The originally dark and gloomy sky suddenly turned black, and an endless black curtain fell from the sky, like an inverted ancient black prison, precisely covering the entire town.
The moment the curtain fell, an invisible barrier was formed, completely isolating the town from all access to the outside world.
The sunlight was completely blocked, and the world was plunged into darkness. Only a few scattered glimmers of demonic energy floated in the shadows, and a cold, oppressive, and desperate atmosphere instantly filled the entire ancient town.
The space was completely locked, and the airflow was completely imprisoned; everything was sealed off layer by layer.
At this moment, Lin Yuan and An Xin clearly realized that they were completely trapped in this desolate town, with all their escape routes blocked, and had fallen into a deadly trap set up by the enemy.
Anxin suddenly stopped, divine light instantly condensed at his fingertips, the sniper rifle was steadily raised, his eyes sharp as frost, quickly scanning all the shadowy blind spots around him, his whole body tense to the extreme, ready to meet any sudden attack at any moment.
Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the heavy black curtain, looking at the boundless, dark sky above him. His expression was calm and composed, without the slightest surprise or panic, only a knowing coldness flashed across his eyes.
He spoke softly, his tone calm and resolute: "As expected, there was an ambush."
From the moment he stepped into the town and sensed its overly orderly, deathly silence, he had already anticipated the trap.
Ordinary degenerates, scattered and isolated, would only wreak havoc and create chaos, never creating such a clean, desolate, and deliberately disguised situation.
Such a meticulously planned trap must have been orchestrated by someone who lay in wait, ready to ambush and annihilate them in this place.
Now that the curtain has fallen and the cage is complete, it is time for the ambush to be unleashed.
As soon as he finished speaking, eight sharp and chilling black auras suddenly erupted from the shadows all around the streets!
Whoosh whoosh!
Eight ferocious black shadows broke through the shadows of the ruins and the obscuring walls, bursting out from eight deadly directions around the ancient town. Their speed was as fast as ghosts, and they landed firmly, forming an impenetrable encirclement that trapped Lin Yuan and An Xin in the center, leaving no room for them to dodge or break through.
The eight figures were all Fallen Ones with refined auras and overwhelming ferocity. Each figure possessed a strong aura of mutated nature, their bodies churning with demonic energy and chilling malevolence. Their eyes were bloodshot and bloodthirsty, their eyes locked on the two people in the formation, their killing intent chilling to the bone.
At the very front of the eight stood an exceptionally terrifying leader, whose aura far surpassed that of the other seven Fallen Ones, exuding domineering power and overwhelming evil.
This person's head was not human-shaped, but rather the head of a ferocious and domineering jet-black dragon, with gleaming scales, sharp horns, dry and stiff whiskers, and a pair of narrow, vertical pupils that gleamed with a cold, piercing green light. The pupils were contracted to the size of needles, exuding an inhuman ferocity.
Its body was a tall and robust humanoid torso, covered with fine, dark dragon scales. The scales were hard and shiny, wrapped with layers of dark magic patterns. Every inch of its muscles surged with powerful and abundant magic energy. Its posture was upright, and its aura dominated the entire scene.
He held up his left hand in the air, and a simple, ancient command flag, about the size of a palm, completely black and carved with strange and evil patterns, floated quietly in his palm. The flag moved without wind, surging with thick, ink-like demonic energy. The pitch-black sky that had just enveloped the entire town and locked the space was driven by this Jiao Demon Command Flag!
The pitch-black light that had previously torn through the sky and transformed into a prison-like canopy originated from this order.
The fallen dragon-headed creature slightly raised its eyes, its narrow, vertical pupils icy and piercing, filled with extreme mockery and contempt. It looked down at the besieged Lin Yuan and An Xin, its hoarse, chilling laughter echoing through the deathly silent streets.
"They're asking for it. Two mere players dare to hunt us down alone, practically delivering themselves to our doorstep."
His tone suddenly turned fierce, his killing intent erupting completely, and he coldly declared: "Today, you will all die without a doubt, and you will die here!"
At this moment, the leader of the Flood Dragon Demons was filled with extreme pride and a sense of certainty that victory was within his grasp.
As the leader of the fallen in this region, he possesses an extremely rare and unique mutated talent—the ability to sense killing intent.
His senses were extremely sharp, allowing him to clearly detect all the fierce killing intent and tracking presences directed at him within a hundred miles.
Several days ago, when Lin Yuan was hunting and approaching this place step by step, he accurately captured that chilling killing intent.
He knew perfectly well that a powerful figure was relentlessly pursuing him, closing in on this area step by step.
Knowing that going it alone was unwise, he did not choose to flee in panic. Instead, he devised a wicked plan and summoned all the remaining high-level fallen beings in the surrounding area overnight, gathering them all in this abandoned ancient town.
Taking advantage of the town's terrain, he used the mutated artifact, the Jiao Mo Command Flag, as the core to set up a spatial confinement array in advance. He deliberately cleared the town of all unusual activity, creating the illusion of a deserted place and disguising it as an ordinary abandoned stronghold to lull the pursuers into a false sense of security.
He patiently lay low for several days, quietly waiting for his pursuers to fall into the trap.
Now, the prey has fallen into the trap as expected. The pitch-black sky has locked down heaven and earth, and the forces from all directions have perfectly surrounded them, blocking all avenues of advance and retreat, creating an unsolvable deadly situation. In his view, Lin Yuan and An Xin are already like birds in a cage and turtles in a jar, unable to escape.
With eight formidable Fallen warriors on their side, they were well-rested and ready to strike, possessing the triple advantages of timing, location, and popular support. Furthermore, the Heavenly Curtain was sealing off their combat power. No matter how strong the enemy was, they would absolutely not be able to break through this meticulously arranged killing trap.
"You arrogant pursuer, do you really think you can roam this world freely?" The mockery in the dragon demon leader's vertical pupils intensified, and the demonic energy around him grew even more violent.
"You're courting death! Today, this place will be your graveyard!"
