An City, Shadow Hunting Bureau.

Security room.

Jiang Dahai and Old Xia hid by the window's edge, looking outside.

"Zzz!"

Above the Shadow Hunting Bureau, a massive rift appeared from which a colorful corridor slowly twisted.

"Old Jiang."

Old Xia said tremblingly, "Is, is that the Starry Sky Corridor?"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Dahai gritted his teeth, "There's clearly no corridor on the map here, it can't be!"

"Roar—"

Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying howl erupted from the giant corridor.

"That... sounds like the voice of the Shadow Race?" Old Xia was terrified.

The voice of the Shadow Race seemed to evoke fear carved into human genes.

Without a strong Martial Arts Will to resist, merely hearing this voice would plunge one into an inescapable quagmire of fear, unable to move.

At this moment, Old Xia's knees trembled, his whole body paralyzed.

"Roar!!"

Amidst the successive howls.

The next moment.

"Boom!"

From within the Starry Sky Corridor, endless dark shadows suddenly gushed out, sweeping in all directions like a tide.

"It's over, it's over..." Old Xia trembled uncontrollably, having forgotten to run.

The fact was, running wouldn't help.

At the speed of the shadow tide, it swallowed the entire Shadow Hunting Bureau in the blink of an eye.

Including this security room, it was instantly engulfed in darkness.

Jiang Dahai trembled as he took out his phone, but couldn't manage to find a communication method after trying for a long time.

"Wife."

"Ye, Tingting..." Jiang Dahai murmured anxiously, full of despair.

The security room's walls trembled constantly, fissures spreading across, on the brink of collapse.

At this moment.

"Boom!"

A blinding light suddenly erupted from the darkness.

It was a sword light!

Piercing the endless darkness.

Like a ray of celestial light in the dark night, dazzling to the extreme, it traced an arc thousands of meters long across the sky, slashing toward the shadow tide of the Shadow Hunting Bureau.

With a "boom," the surging shadow tide was cleaved like a sea split in two, exploding, boiling.

"Roar!!"

Countless agonized howls resounded.

With just one sword.

Hundreds and thousands of Shadow Race were annihilated.

In the Shadow Hunting Bureau, a trench several kilometers long and a hundred meters wide was carved out by the sword light.

"Whoosh!"

Simultaneously, a burly man in silver-white battle armor shot toward the Shadow Hunting Bureau like a cannonball.

"Boom!" The security room was blasted open.

The burly man grabbed Jiang Dahai and Old Xia inside and flew outdoors.

...

Taoyang District.

The burly man escorted Jiang Dahai to the balcony of Building 12, Apartment 606.

Jiang Dahai returned home from the balcony, repeatedly thanking the burly man, "I, Jiang Dahai, will never forget your lifesaving grace!"

"A small effort."

The burly man smiled faintly, not staying long.

"Boom!" He became a shadow, swiftly going to aid other areas.

"Dahai!" Li Anping hurried over, the weight in her heart finally lifted upon seeing Jiang Dahai.

"Dad, are you okay?" Jiang Ye also rushed over.

He had been closely monitoring the Shadow Hunting Bureau's situation just now.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Dahai shook his head, still somewhat shaken, "This time I was truly lucky, almost lost my life. Luckily, that gentleman arrived in time, otherwise..."

"Lucky?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but look outside the window.

He knew his adoptive father was not just lucky.

The man in silver-white battle armor, he didn't know his identity.

But he guessed, it was the helper Mr. Zhu Honglie invited.

"That sword." Jiang Ye recalled the scene he just witnessed, full of longing.

The sword that tore the sky!

If he could wield such power, he wouldn't feel so powerless in this crisis.

"Jiang Ye!"

At this moment, two figures appeared outside the balcony.

It was Zhang Jianwu and Cao Feng who had hurried over!

"Your father." Zhang Jianwu, seeing Jiang Dahai, also let out a sigh, "Thank goodness!"

Even though he rushed over at full speed, he was almost a step too late.

Thankfully! A powerhouse had rescued Jiang Dahai a step ahead.

"That person..." Zhang Jianwu looked in the direction the burly man left, eyes thoughtful.

"Director, do you know him?" Jiang Ye asked.

"He is from the City Lord's Mansion," Zhang Jianwu nodded, "if I remember correctly, he should be the strongest in the whole An City!"

"But there was also a Shadow Disaster at the City Lord's Mansion."

"In theory, he should be guarding the City Lord's Mansion in such a situation."

Zhang Jianwu didn't say more, why the person came out, he didn't know either.

But Jiang Ye was thoughtful.

This meant, the person was indeed invited by Mr. Zhu Honglie.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a clear target.

"Old Zhang." Cao Feng looked at Zhang Jianwu, "Time is pressing."

Zhang Jianwu nodded, looking at Jiang Ye, "Whatever happens next, do not go out."

"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded solemnly.

"Whiz!"

Zhang Jianwu and Cao Feng didn't say more, turning into a flowing light, rushing away.

Although Jiang Ye's family had temporarily escaped danger.

This Shadow Disaster had just begun.

They, as the high-end combat power of An City, were unwavering in such times.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Jiang Ye's communication watch rang again.

"It's Chen Zilu." Jiang Ye quickly answered the call.

"Jiang Ye, how are you?"

Chen Zilu's cool voice carried a hint of urgency, "An City has erupted in a level 2 Shadow Disaster, is it true?"

"Teacher, I'm fine," Jiang Ye said, "More and more powerhouses are coming to assist."
