Chapter 968: Chapter 968: An Unprecedented Crisis

Luo Bingxin’s pupils reflected a massive black building.

This enormous structure had a crooked, peculiar design, with black, glass-like scales tightly wrapping around it, making it impossible to see anything inside from the outside, enhancing the building’s mysterious allure.

Having been part of Dark Rising for thousands of years, Luo Bingxin very much wanted to see what’s inside this archive; she had so much she wanted to prove.

At this moment, Tremble was cheering on his chosen few contestants.

As he spoke, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

Behind him, a cold chill swept in, and the experts from Dark Rising, who had appeared normal just moments ago, now showed signs of tension and fear on their faces.

His animated encouragement had not only failed to inspire this group but had even instilled a sense of dread in them.

Perplexed, Tremble followed the gazes of the people he had gathered; what he saw gave him quite a fright.

The figures standing behind him were not human.

Even without sensing the formidable aura they emitted, their dilapidated bodies alone revealed their identities.

One glance was enough to make Tremble, who prided himself on being invincible, feel a bit apprehensive inside.

Though he had shouted about defeating the Four Great Corpse Kings, the moment they stood in front of him, Tremble couldn’t help but feel fear.

"Well, lad, not bad. I’ve survived in this world for so many years, and it’s the first time I’ve heard someone wants to destroy us. You’re quite brave, just not sure how strong you actually are."

"Whatever, whatever. Anyway, you seem pretty strong, so go ahead and attack, I’ll play with you," Ying Gou said.

The Upper-Rank Gods behind him instinctively stepped back a few paces when the icy mist came from Ying Gou’s mouth, even though the cold hadn’t touched them, they still felt a chill in their hearts and fear deep inside.

After speaking, Ying Gou beckoned to Tremble with a finger.

Bang bang bang!

How can this be!

Tremble couldn’t help but exclaim internally:

This Ying Gou clearly hadn’t done anything, hadn’t even released his Divine Power to oppress him, yet his body had started trembling, started to tremble.

What should I do, attack directly, or turn and run?

If I turn and run, I’ll have a good chance of surviving, flee to the Upper Plane, hide my aura, and I could safely linger there for a while, even if Ying Gou pursues me to the Upper Plane, powerful gods would deal with the Four Great Corpse Kings.

On second thought, I am the top enforcer of Dark Rising Organization, during the Desire Realm war, many Upper-Rank Gods fell by my hand—no way the All Gods Camp will let me go.

But if I don’t run and directly attack, the survival chance after enduring Ying Gou’s attack wouldn’t be over thirty percent.

With such slim odds, should I continue attacking? Is my pride worth risking my life?

Before Tremble could make a decision, three powerful auras descended beside him.

"Ah, indeed, we were too hesitant in decision-making; we should have decisively retreated," Gongshu De said stoically as he stroked his beard.

"This guy has a simple mind, and misjudges everything too easily. If the Four Great Corpse Kings were so easily dealt with, why didn’t the Immortal King annihilate them back then, why did it come to you, Tremble?"

In Divination Monster’s hand appeared a crystal-clear, multi-hued Crystal Ball, around which massive Divine Power swirled.

Though Divination Monster is a strategist of Dark Rising Organization, he had no intention of retreat in the face of the Four Great Corpse Kings.

"Opportunity lost won’t come again, right after hearing the news, I cast a divination; the portent was dire."

"At this point, we have no choice but to block these four creatures’ advance."

Dragon Queen snorted coldly, her powerful Divine Power started to flow out.

Nourished by the Divine Power, Dragon Queen’s withered skin became translucent and even faint dragon scales emerged.

Evidently, at this moment Dragon Queen regained her peak state, her combat strength obviously formidable.

Though Dragon Queen’s longtime work involved managing human resources, she had no reluctance to fight, her battle-hungry eyes seemed to say she wanted to see if her fists held the strength they once did after years of inactivity.

Seeing these three strategists at the same level radiate such an imposing presence reassured Tremble, Pocheng, Blood Dance, and Hekong, restoring their confidence.

A great sword shimmering with silver light floated behind Hekong, intertwining extreme Sword Intent and sharp Divine Power around him.

In the Four Great Corpse Kings’ eyes, the sword floating behind him was irrelevant; at this moment, Hekong himself was the sharpest sword.

A giant blood pearl, radiating a strange red light, cast an eerie atmosphere over the surrounding space, infused with powerful Chaos Law.

Though the Four Great Corpse Kings were encountering Blood Dance God for the first time, and unsure of his moves’ effects, they could roughly guess that the blood pearl behind Blood Dance God couldn’t inflict much harm but would be quite troublesome if touched by it.

Pocheng God’s hand held a hammer adorned with exquisite engravings, positioned across his chest.

The engravings occasionally released wisps of black mist.

The black mist, upon contacting the air, unexpectedly caused a brief collapse of space—a scene that made the rest of Dark Rising’s combat power ceiling gasp internally.

Pocheng, this guy, actually holds such terrifying strength?

He’s had this strange hammer all these years, it’s the first time we’re seeing him use it.

Tremble was likewise inspired.

As Dark Rising Organization’s strongest force, though not smart or firm-willed, his mighty prowess was undeniable.

The cloudless sky above headquarters turned densely cloudy as Tremble’s Divine Power surged.

In the thick clouds, giant blue lightning serpents occasionally peeked out, casting a faint blue hue over the entire Dark Rising Headquarters with their not-so-bright lightning glow.

"Didn’t expect I’d admit to being simple-minded with strong limbs someday."

"Dragon Queen, Mr. Gongsu, Divination Monster, I, Tremble, admit my mistake, admit underestimating the Four Great Corpse Kings. I apologize for my previous arrogant statement, please don’t take my ignorant words to heart."

Dragon Queen and the others were well aware of Tremble’s nature; having worked together for so many years, his blind self-confidence had long been clear to them. The three would never take Tremble’s words at the meeting seriously.
