Yanagi was about to respond when Victor had already launched himself into the air, soaring thousands of meters until he became nothing more than a small black dot against the sky.
Helplessly, she turned to Belle beside her. "Does he intend to deal with all those enemies alone?"
"Are you worried about Victor?" Belle smiled knowingly. "There's really no need. He won't be in any danger."
"Well, he is indeed very strong."
Miyabi nodded, recalling the scene from a few months ago when she'd fought alongside Victor.
With his strength, he could probably eliminate these enemies effortlessly.
Hearing this, Yanagi couldn't help but ask, "Miyabi, do you know each other?"
When did the Chief get acquainted with these people?
How come she didn't know about this?
"Yes, I know him."
Miyabi's answer was characteristically brief and direct.
Yanagi wanted to press for more details, but at that moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly flashed across the sky!
When the light faded, a massive sword several thousand feet long appeared, slashing toward the distant enemies!
Before the sword even fell, it split the sea of clouds in two, revealing the azure sky beyond.
"..."
"Wow! What an enormous golden sword!"
"Am I dreaming?"
Yanagi, Cangjiao, and Yuma all stared in shock, their eyes wide.
Only Miyabi maintained her composure, though a gleam of light flickered in her blood-red eyes.
"He seems to have gotten even stronger."
Looking at the giant sword descending from overhead, the invading creatures also felt the suffocating threat of death.
They turned and fled, desperately trying to escape the sword's attack range.
Even the colossal monster didn't dare take it lightly, using both hands and feet in its frantic retreat, practically wishing it had an extra pair of legs.
Victor sneered. "Think you can escape?"
The next second, he activated his certain-hit ability!
The fleeing creatures suddenly found themselves turning around uncontrollably and running back.
Then they slid directly beneath the giant sword and raised their hands high, as if trying to catch it.
This bizarre scene left Yanagi and the others speechless.
What were they doing?
BOOM, !
The giant sword finally fell, caught by the group of otherworldly creatures with their bare hands.
But even though the sword was caught, the overwhelming sword energy crushed them directly!
The sword energy continued forward along the ground, finally disappearing into the distant horizon!
A massive sword scar tens of kilometers long was carved into the earth!
"Wow, that's incredible!"
This spectacle caused everyone's pupils to tremble.
They'd thought the Chief was powerful enough, but it turned out there was someone even more terrifying!
[Ding! What you did was too abstract, and you earned 105,200 Abstract Points!]
A familiar notification sounded in his mind.
However, Victor didn't pay it much attention.
Now that his strength had grown, he wasn't as obsessed with Abstract Points as he'd been before.
After all, as his power increased, there were fewer and fewer enemies worthy of his abstract abilities.
He flashed and instantly returned to Belle and the others.
"Was that move just now cool?" Victor asked with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, so cool," Belle responded in a perfunctory manner.
Miyabi nodded seriously, and her fox ears twitched. "It really was impressive."
"You know how to give proper compliments, unlike someone who's so insincere."
By the way, those fox ears look so soft, I want to rub them!
"Have all the invading creatures been destroyed?"
Victor nodded. "They've all been eliminated. There are no more traces of these creatures in Hollow Zero at the moment."
His spiritual sense had swept through every corner of Hollow Zero, and only after confirming there was no remaining breath of otherworldly creatures did he retract it.
"Thank you for the rescue."
Only now did Yanagi find the opportunity to express her gratitude.
"If you hadn't saved us, we would have died here."
Belle waved her hand. "No need to thank me. I just hope that after you leave, you won't tell anyone about our involvement."
She didn't want to attract too much attention.
At present, she simply wanted to cultivate quietly and run her small video store.
"Is that so?"
A flash of disappointment crossed Yanagi's eyes.
Although she didn't know how strong Belle was, since she could travel alongside Victor, she must be incredibly powerful.
She'd been considering whether to invite these two to join Hollow Special Operations Section 6.
It seemed that wasn't feasible at the moment.
What a shame.
"Let's go. Time to leave here."
Victor raised his hand and drew a line in front of him, instantly tearing space apart, then walked through.
"Follow us quickly."
Belle waved to Miyabi and the others, then followed Victor through.
Seeing this, Miyabi and the others hurriedly followed.
After passing through the spatial crack, everyone appeared in the secret room of the video store on Sixth Street.
Nicole seemed to have left by now.
Wise sat alone on the couch watching a news report about the Hollow Zero incident on TV.
Hearing the movement behind him, he turned to look at everyone.
"Although I know you'll be fine, I still have to ask, are you injured?"
Belle couldn't help but complain, "Even though you're concerned about us, don't you think you're underestimating our strength a bit?"
"Do you understand the value of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Wise smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I really don't know about that."
After all, he was just a small cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Training, and he'd never really seen Victor fighting with full strength.
Then he turned his gaze to the Section 6 members behind Victor.
"By the way, why did you bring people from Hollow Special Operations Section 6 back here?"
Didn't we agree to keep a low profile?
Now that they'd brought official personnel back, how could they maintain any secrecy?
Victor said, "Don't worry. They won't expose us."
Wise nodded upon hearing this.
He trusted Victor's judgment.
"Excuse me, where is this place?" Yanagi looked around curiously.
It appeared to be a secret room.
There were several computer monitors hanging on the wall.
All professional-grade equipment.
From this, it wasn't difficult to guess that these people, besides being powerful, were also engaged in some special profession.
Probably Proxies or treasure hunters, right?
No wonder they didn't want their activities exposed.
"This is a video store called 'Random Play' on Sixth Street," Belle introduced.
Anyway, since they already knew their identities, there was no point in hiding anymore.
Sixth Street?
Yanagi was shocked.
How many kilometers was it from Hollow Zero to Sixth Street?
Dozens?
Hundreds?
They'd actually covered such a vast distance in an instant!
What an incredible ability!
Not only were they incredibly strong, but their powers were also so miraculous!
A pity the other party seemed to have no intention of joining the official forces.
Thinking of this, Yanagi couldn't help but feel regretful.
With such formidable strength, it would have been wonderful if they could recruit them.
Then they could resolve the Hollow problem much more easily.
Oh, and there were also those otherworldly enemies that had been appearing frequently recently.
