CHAPTER 2022: THE FRIGHTENED BLACK MIST FLED

Watching those two people still attacking wildly over there, Su Yang was also shocked in his heart.

He didn't know what this black gas was, but if it entered Second Young Master Zhang's body, the consequences could be unimaginable!

Just now, under the control of the black gas, that man had completely lost his mind, only frantically killing. Even when others attacked and killed him, he didn't know how to defend or dodge.

If Second Young Master Zhang was controlled by this black gas, he would certainly attack them as well, which would be troublesome.

"Quickly stop that mass of black gas!" Su Yang shouted urgently.

At this time, only the Beigong War God was standing beside Second Young Master Zhang. He quickly made a move to try to block the black gas, but it was in vain.

This black gas was not tangible, nor was it a force; it seemed non-existent, and no one could stop it.

Su Yang also hurried over and repeatedly made moves, but all were useless; they could only watch as the black gas entered Second Young Master Zhang's body.

At this moment, Second Young Master Zhang's face also turned black. He stood there trembling as if he had forgotten to resist or perhaps no longer knew how to resist, allowing the black gas to invade his body.

Su Yang knew that Second Young Master Zhang's body had already been occupied by the black gas. Next, unless they killed Second Young Master Zhang, they could only helplessly watch him being controlled by the black gas and turning into a frenzied beast.

Panic-stricken, Su Yang directly rushed forward, and an illusion instantly rose behind him.

Devouring the World!

Su Yang knew that relying solely on power couldn't resist this black gas, as those people had already proven it. So, he could only use Devouring the World to try if it could absorb the black gas.

After all, Devouring the World claimed nothing was undevourable.

The moment the illusion appeared, its sovereign eyes opened directly and glanced at the black gas unusually.

At that moment, the black gas, as if frightened, flew out of Second Young Master Zhang's body and fled quickly.

Su Yang was stupefied. He hadn't even had the chance to devour the black gas, and it had already run away by itself?

At the same time, black gas also fled from the bodies of the other two Heavenly Realm men and similarly quickly disappeared.

The three black gases seemed to be frightened by the illusion, not daring to stay a second, fleeing far away.

Second Young Master Zhang staggered, and the two from the Heavenly Realm collapsed directly to the ground.

Su Yang hurriedly went over to help Second Young Master Zhang up and found that his body had suffered severe damage. During the brief period when the black gas entered, his body seemed to be crushed by a powerful force, and his own power could not resist, resulting in severe injury.

He took out some Elixir Pills and stuffed them into Second Young Master Zhang's mouth, finally awakening him, though he was extremely weak.

Second Young Master Zhang's strength was really not weak, even stronger than the current Beigong War God and others.

However, in just that half-minute when the black gas entered his body, he was so severely injured, which showed the horror of the black gas.

After taking the Elixir Pills, Second Young Master's injuries stabilized. However, in his current condition, it would still take some time to fully recover.

Fortunately, Su Yang was carrying many Elixir Pills and also a lot of Yaochi Peaches.

With so many medicinal resources, Second Young Master Zhang could recover rapidly.

"Su Alliance Leader, come quickly!" Qi Zhishan exclaimed from the side.

"What happened?" Su Yang quickly ran over.

Qi Zhishan pointed to the two men on the ground, the remaining two from the Heavenly Realm. After the black gas escaped their bodies, they lay lifelessly on the ground as if dead.

Su Yang took a careful look and was shocked to find that these two were indeed devoid of life. More importantly, their bodies' Origin Power had been completely exhausted, and their life force and blood energy had been completely drained.

The black gas not only controlled their bodies but also devoured their Origin Power and entire life force, turning them completely into three ordinary corpses.

Su Yang felt a shock wave through his heart, lucky that Second Young Master Zhang hadn't been occupied by the black gas for too long. If he had, he might have ended up the same way!

It must be said, these three gases were terrifying indeed.

But where did these three gases come from? Why did they have such powerful force?

Moreover, why couldn't their power stop these three gases? And yet, once the illusion of Devouring the World appeared, the gases fled by themselves?

Could it be that these gases had consciousness? Were they afraid of the illusion of Devouring the World?

But then, what was the story behind the illusion of Devouring the World?

Su Yang couldn't help but look at the illusion behind him, eyes now closed. Recently, the illusion had become more substantial. This made Su Yang more confident that this illusion may have once been a real entity.

Su Yang had cultivated to this level, yet the illusion was only partially materialized. Su Yang could hardly imagine what it would be like once the illusion fully manifested—it must be overwhelming.

Say no more; the three black gases must have been very powerful.

Yet when facing the illusion of Devouring the World, they acted as if mice had seen a cat and fled without any intention to resist.

How powerful was the illusion?

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang looked at the people around him and said solemnly, "Everyone, be cautious. I suspect that the danger within the Feather Spirit Palace doesn't only come from those of the Nine Realms, but also from black gases like before!"

Everyone nodded; they had indeed witnessed the terror of the black gas just now. Honestly, if it hadn't been for Su Yang's illusion scaring the gas away, everyone present might not have escaped this crisis.

After all, the black gas couldn't be eradicated. Even if people could kill those controlled by the gas, the gas would just come out again, continue controlling others, until everyone perished here.

"Where did this black gas come from?" the Beigong War God asked in astonishment, "It seems like it has a consciousness?"

Su Yang shrugged, "I don't know either. The Three Eagles of Yanbei and others had only been to the front courtyard of the Feather Spirit Palace, never the back courtyard. They are also unaware of the back courtyard's situation."

Everyone exchanged looks; indeed, the back courtyard was an unknown zone, and they had to explore it themselves.

Su Yang looked at the small palace with the Tai Chi Diagram; the three Heavenly Realm people had transformed in that small palace. Could it be, they provoked the black gas from inside that small palace?
