Chapter 408: Chapter 249: Black and White Impermanence 2

A clone constantly consumed energy, after all. Even though Li Longxuan had made ample preparations this time, the energy had been draining away for several days. No matter how much he conserved, he had reached the point of utter exhaustion.

He looked at the three of them and said, "Please, watch over Su Xing for me. You should know how important he is. Of course, if something does happen to him, please inform me immediately."

"Of course," Ao Lin said at once.

During this time, besides Li Longxuan, Ao Lin had been the most concerned about Su Xing. After all, Su Xing’s talent was for all to see. Anyone with a brain knew that a person like him would reach heights they couldn’t even imagine. What’s more, this was Dragon Gate, and as its master, it was only natural for Ao Lin to be more invested.

"Good."

Li Longxuan sat on a nearby rock, his gaze fixed quietly on the distant Dragon Gate. Intense fluctuations of energy were already erupting there, and one of them belonged to Su Xing.

As Su Xing’s senior, Li Longxuan knew him well—knew most things about him. Thus, he had always believed that Su Xing would make it back to Cang City, that he would survive this disaster and they would meet again.

A fledgling must eventually learn to fly. What’s more, Su Xing was long past being a fledgling—he was already a majestic eagle. He would be stronger and a better flyer than any other eagle in the world.

"Heh... See you in Cang City."

Li Longxuan suddenly let out a light chuckle. As that thought flashed through his mind, everyone watched as his body gradually became ethereal before shattering into a cloud of fine energy particles and dissipating into the world.

"..."

The group fell silent. They knew, of course, that nothing had really happened to Li Longxuan. This was just his clone; his real body was still sitting perfectly safe in the organization’s headquarters in Cang City. Still, to suddenly lose such a powerful ally when facing a formidable enemy... it was a bitter pill for anyone to swallow.

"Let’s go," Ao Lin said, looking toward Dragon Gate.

...

"Kekekeke..."

The two let out a bizarre laugh and pounced on Su Xing from the left and right. Su Xing’s reaction was devilishly fast. With the Black Sword in his right hand and the Snake Sword in his left, he materialized both almost simultaneously and slashed out at the flanking enemies!

BANG!

The combatants clashed and separated in an instant. There was no earth-shattering cataclysm or explosion of space—it was as if two ordinary people had exchanged blows. But Su Xing felt his hands tremble. The Black Sword was fine, but a crack had already split across the Snake Sword.

"..."

This was not going to be an easy fight. That was the conclusion Su Xing reached almost instantly. However, he didn’t sense the power of Source from them, which meant there was still a chance of victory.

A chance, yes, but he was facing two of them. It was the first time Su Xing had ever truly faced two such powerful enemies alone. This didn’t cause his expression to slacken in the slightest; instead, it grew even more stern and cold.

Meanwhile, the jarring crack on the Snake Sword in his hand gradually repaired itself, becoming as good as new. But Su Xing’s expression remained grim.

He had seen it with his own eyes. When the Snake Sword struck one of them, a tiny serpent had instantly tried to burrow into the man’s body. But the moment it entered, the serpent encountered immense pressure. It couldn’t move an inch inside the man’s body and was ultimately crushed to death.

Their strength was more terrifying than he had imagined. Even without Source, their power within the eighth tier was surely among the absolute elite.

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn’t help but frown. He complained inwardly, ’Where the hell are all these Tier 8s popping up from? I never heard a peep about them back in Cang City, but the moment I get to Luocheng, they start crawling out of the woodwork. It’s seriously annoying.’

"Are you okay?!" the two people behind Su Xing cried out in surprise. They had experienced the methods of the black-and-white duo firsthand and knew how powerful they were. Yet Su Xing had just fought both of them at once and forced them back.

"Get back."

Su Xing’s voice was a bit hoarse. He could feel the two, Black and White Impermanence, watching them calmly.

Or rather, they were watching *him*.

"But..."

"Everyone, fall back." As Su Xing spoke, his eyes remained locked on the two figures, and his grip on the twin swords in his hands never wavered.

From that single exchange, he had felt an unprecedentedly massive threat from them, along with a killing intent so strong it felt tangible.

These enemies were immeasurably stronger than any other Tier 8 present.

That was why Su Xing was being so cautious. He had to be on his highest alert, taking the most careful and prudent stance possible to guard against a sudden attack.

Seeing the overbearing power of Black and White Impermanence and Su Xing’s reaction, the remaining Dragon Gate Disciples grasped the gravity of the situation. No one wanted to die. Realizing how serious this was, they all began to retreat.

And just then, one of the pair from Black and White Impermanence spoke, his face devoid of expression. "Trying to leave?"

The other immediately chimed in as if continuing his thought. "I told you. You’re all staying here."

As the words fell, the two of them moved with incredible speed, slamming a palm onto the ground almost instantly. There was no explosion, only a strange calm. But in that moment, a wave of black energy instantly enveloped everyone, making it impossible for any of the Dragon Gate Disciples to leave the area.

"What is this power?"

Su Xing’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the bizarre scene. He had never seen such a strange technique. The only thing remotely similar would be a Sequencer, but he couldn’t feel any Sequencer energy at all. Instead, it was a strange power he had never encountered before.

"..."

’A unique system from an ancient race?’

Su Xing instantly realized the possibility. If that were the case, these two would be incredibly difficult to deal with. An unknown enemy is always the most terrifying.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

As if on cue with Su Xing’s thoughts, a series of thuds rang out as the fleeing Dragon Gate Disciples slammed one after another into a black energy shield.

Intense pain erupted through their bodies, causing them to let out wretched howls. Fortunately, the energy didn’t seem to be life-threatening. After crying out in pain for a while, they slowly got back to their feet.

"What the fuck is this?!"

That thought ran through the mind of everyone who had touched the black energy. Their faces were pale, their lips trembling uncontrollably. Most of them were not new to the path of the Extraordinary, but they had never seen such a freakish ability. It was utterly terrifying.

Su Xing’s expression was also extremely grave. The power his opponents displayed was horrifying—not only were they physically powerful, but this inexplicable energy was also terrifying.

And most importantly... there were two of them.

"So you’re Su Xing? That fellow Witch Summoner actually failed to take you down? Has the Witch Race gotten this weak?" Black Impermanence said, his face grim.

"..."

’He knows Witch Summoner? Then these guys really are from an ancient race.’ Su Xing smiled and said:

"What of it?"

"Are you trying to finish the job for him?"

Su Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly. The excitement from his battle with Witch Summoner was faintly beginning to rise again, and a heat started to spread through his entire body.

"Hahaha, I have no interest in any of that. But I am very interested in killing you."

Black Impermanence burst out laughing, and an irrepressible red light began to glow in his eyes, making for a truly horrifying sight.

The White Impermanence beside him spoke in an even colder, more sinister tone, almost like a eunuch. He just chuckled lightly and said:

"Oh, dear brother, why are you trying to scare him?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"If you scare him to death, the meat will turn sour later."
