Chapter 30 :

The deafening screams echoed throughout the area as the gang members were being killed without any knowledge of their assailants.

The Misty Gang found themselves in a state of confusion upon regaining their senses, realizing that nearly half of their members had been slain. Fear gripped them, evident in the terror that flashed in their eyes.

The remaining members swiftly assumed defensive positions, prepared to confront the enigmatic group responsible for the carnage. However, they were swiftly killed in a swift and efficient manner.

Nexus and his team's killing speed were exceptionally impressive. Every second, Nexus would eliminate ten or more people with ease.

His figure would seamlessly disappear and reappear among the bewildered gang members, his blade flashing with incredible speed, leaving a trail of destruction and split bodies in its wake.

Shortly after, every member of the gang who had been converging from various directions towards the entrance met their demise. The area became a grim scene, scattered with corpses in various states of disarray.

None of the bodies remained intact, with blood saturating the surroundings and forming a macabre pool, limbs strewn haphazardly around.

Nexus stood amidst the mound of bodies, his blade dripping crimson, while his comrades, similarly drenched in blood, exuded a palpable aura of lethal intent.

Just then, hurried footsteps heralded the arrival of an enraged voice," Dammit what's going on here?, what was that loud noise?" .

A burly man emerged, his features contorted in anger, only to transition swiftly to a mask of horror and dread as fear gripped his entire being.

Tremors shook his frame, his eyes wide with terror, nearly bulging from their sockets as he beheld the ghastly sight of the hill of dead and mutilated bodies, blood trickling like a rivulet.

Each lifeless form bore expressions of fear and confusion. Slowly, the burly man cast his gaze upon the enigmatic figures standing amidst the carnage.

Nexus observed the sturdy man with a sense of composure, his gaze cold and void of emotion.

When the sturdy man locked eyes with Nexus, a wave of fear washed over him as he sensed the ominous aura of death emanating from those eyes.

Without hesitation, the sturdy man swiftly turned on his heels and dashed away at incredible speed, tapping into his Cultivation base, moving like a whirlwind.

Realizing that challenging this enigmatic figure would only lead to his death, the sturdy man made a split-second decision to flee for his life, paying no heed to the fallen gang members – mere insignificant casualties.

" Where are you going?" Suddenly, a chilling voice pierced the air beside the sturdy man, causing his complexion to turn pale.

His heart nearly leaped out of his chest as he realized his body was moving forward without his control, prompting his confusion as he spiraled into darkness.

Meanwhile, Nexus, with an impassive stare, surveyed the headless body on the ground. Turning to his comrades, he issued a chilling command, "Infiltrate the city and eradicate every criminal in sight; leave no one alive."

"Affirmative, Your Majesty," they replied in unison before vanishing from the Misty Blood Gang headquarters.

Outside the compound, a crowd of rogue Cultivators and criminals converged, drawn by the thunderous explosion caused Nexus attacked earlier. These individuals exuded a palpable sense of aggression and bloodlust, their faces twisted with malice.

Upon arriving at the scene of destruction, they were met with a gruesome sight – mutilated bodies strewn across the area, a grotesque display of violence that resembled a living nightmare.

The onlookers were shocked and bewildered by the devastating power that could obliterate the infamous Misty Blood Gang in Blackwood City. The sight of the gang leader's decapitated corpse added to their confusion.

Just then a group of shadowy figures materialized before them in a sudden blur.

Witnessing the sudden appearance of these black armored people, the spectators were momentarily stunned before adopting a cautious and wary demeanor.

The sight of these blood-drenched figures exuding an aura of bloodthirst and intense killing intent struck fear into the onlookers, likening them to bloodthirsty demons.

Without warning, the black armored individuals launched a fierce attack, utilizing their full strength and unleashing their Cultivation bases.

" BOOOOOOM "

Their movements became a blur as they attacked their weapons, resulting in a deafening boom that sent nearby criminals flying and spewing blood, filling the air with screams.

Some perished instantly on the spot, prompting cries of confusion and fear from the Cultivators present.

"Who are these people?" exclaimed one, his face drained of color in terror.

"Curses, what do they want?" echoed another, retrieving his weapon hastily.

"Everyone, flee! These people are formidable, likely at the Ninth Layer of Essence Meridian Realm!" shouted another, racing away with all his might.

As the strength of the mysterious black-clad figures became known, dread spread among the onlookers as they scattered in panic, desperate to save their lives.

Nexus, overlooking the chaotic scene from a tall building, observed the fleeing figures with a cold, calculating gaze, his blade glinting in the fading light of the evening.

With a light tap of his foot, Nexus vanished from his perch, reappearing hundreds of meters away to swiftly dispatch a criminal before disappearing once more, his movements resembling fireflies darting among the city's buildings, claiming lives with alarming speed.

Leaving a trail of headless bodies in his wake, Nexus employed the StarMoon Steps First Form: Fireflies, harnessing solar energy to enhance his already formidable speed. In a matter of moments, hundreds of criminals fell to his blade, their screams echoing through the city.

For half an hour, black-clad figures flitted among the buildings, purging the city and leaving a crimson trail of destruction in their wake.

The once bustling city had transformed into a nightmarish hellscape, with blood flowing freely and lifeless bodies strewn across its streets, creating a truly ghastly tableau of destruction and death.

In the city, ordinary people were taken aback by the horrifying screams reverberating through the streets. The sun had already set, plunging the city into darkness as the residents retired for the night. The sudden outburst of screams instilled fear, preventing anyone from venturing outside.

These ordinary people, considered as inferior in the city, often fell victim to bullying and violence at the hands of criminals. The possibility of encountering these malefactors tormenting someone kept them indoors, scared of being implicated or harmed. An hour later, the majority of the city's criminals met their demise, with only a handful managing to escape.

Atop the city wall, Nexus and his team stood, surveying the grim aftermath of the city now littered with lifeless bodies and bloodstains. The pungent odor of blood and death lingered in the air, a haunting reminder of the recent events. Though Nexus's team sustained some injuries, they were not severe.

Nexus identified ten injured members and assigned them to stay in the city, " You guys stay in the city and take care of your injuries and also take of care of the corpses, the rest of you follow me ". Nexus instructed.

"Understood, Your Majesty," the teammembers replied solemnly before following Nexus into the shadows. Fading into the darkness heading to the next city.
