Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"The new ally said that we should wait and see, and he will track the Shadow Messenger." Xiao Yichen put away the communication talisman in his hand, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"But the whole city is in chaos now. We can't just sit there and wait for death!" Lin Wan'er said anxiously, looking at the chaotic scene outside the window. The originally bustling streets were now in a mess, with shop signs scattered all over the place, broken glass and rubble all over the ground, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of dust.

Although the Shadowbringer escaped, he released a powerful energy before leaving, causing serious damage to the city's infrastructure. The power system was paralyzed, and the entire city fell into darkness; the water pipes burst, and the streets were flooded; the communication equipment failed, and people could not contact each other, and panic quickly spread among the crowd.

"Mengmeng, let's split up." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand, his eyes firm, "You go to help those injured citizens, and I will maintain order and prevent the chaos from expanding further."

"Okay, you should be careful too." Chu Mengmeng nodded and looked at him worriedly.

The two of them acted quickly. Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er shuttled through the ruins, looking for people in need of help. They used their spiritual power to treat the wounded, distributed food and water, and comforted the panicked elderly and children.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" An old lady held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

"Grandma, don't worry, everything will be fine." Chu Mengmeng patted the old lady's hand gently and comforted her softly.

On the other side, Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai also joined the team to maintain order. They organized young and middle-aged people to clear the road, evacuate the crowd, and try their best to appease the emotional thugs who tried to take advantage of the chaos to rob.

"Everyone, don't panic, maintain order!" Xiao Yichen released a powerful spiritual pressure, shocking those rogues who were ready to make a move. "The most important thing now is to unite and overcome the difficulties together!"

Thanks to their efforts, the city gradually regained some order, but the air was still filled with anxiety and panic. Because everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and the real crisis had just begun...

As night fell, the city was shrouded in darkness, with only sporadic flames swaying in the wind. Xiao Yichen stood on a high place, looking into the distance, his brows furrowed. There was no news from the new ally yet, and the Shadow Messenger disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

"Yi Chen, what are you worried about?" Su Mubai walked to him and asked softly.

"I always have a bad feeling that the Shadow Messenger will not give up." Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, "He must be planning a bigger conspiracy."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening explosion in the distance, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the sky. Xiao Yichen's face changed, and he said in his heart, "Not good." He had a strong premonition that their guess might come true...

"...Not good!" Xiao Yichen turned around abruptly, looking in the direction of the explosion with a sharp gaze, "It's the energy center!"

"What?!" Su Mubai's face changed drastically. The energy center is the lifeline of the entire city. Once it is destroyed, the entire city will be paralyzed and the consequences will be disastrous.

Without time to think, Xiao Yichen immediately called everyone together, "The energy center has been attacked, everyone follow me!" After that, he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction of the explosion. Su Mubai, Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er followed closely behind, and other practitioners also responded and rushed towards the danger without hesitation.

The energy center was now a sea of ​​fire, with buildings crumbling in the raging flames, explosions one after another, and thick smoke billowing into the sky. Dozens of masked men in black armed with sharp blades frantically attacked the energy center's defense formation. The energy fluctuations of the formation were violent, and it was obvious that it was about to collapse.

"Kill!" The leading man in black gave an order, and everyone worked together. Fierce attacks poured down on the defensive formation like a storm. The formation suddenly trembled violently, making a "cracking" sound as it could not bear the weight.

"Stop!" Xiao Yichen and others arrived in time, and were furious when they saw the scene.

"You guys?!" The leading black-clothed man saw Xiao Yichen and the others, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "You've come just in time. Let's send you to hell together!"

"You're looking for death!" Xiao Yichen shouted angrily, unsheathing his long sword. A dazzling sword light cut through the night sky and headed straight for the black-clothed man who was leading the group. Su Mubai, Chu Mengmeng, and Lin Wan'er also attacked and fought with the other black-clothed men.

The battle instantly became fierce, with shouts, weapons colliding, and explosions interweaving together, deafening. Xiao Yichen and his men were strong, but the black-clothed men were numerous and fearless, so the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Lin Wan'er suddenly exclaimed. A man in black beside Chu Mengmeng took advantage of her unpreparedness and attacked Chu Mengmeng's back with the hidden weapon in his hand with a sound of breaking through the air.

Chu Mengmeng was concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of her at this time and had no time to dodge. At the critical moment, a figure rushed over like lightning, knocked her to the ground, and she avoided the fatal blow.

"Puff!" The hidden weapon pierced deeply into the man's shoulder, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

"Yi Chen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed and looked up, only to see Xiao Yichen's face was pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was covering his wound in pain.

"Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, watching Xiao Yichen block the fatal blow for her, tears instantly blurred her eyes. She struggled to get up, but was held tightly by Xiao Yichen.

"Don't move, you're hurt!" Xiao Yichen endured the pain, his voice weak but firm, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

However, his words did not reassure Chu Mengmeng, but made her even more scared. Because she saw that Xiao Yichen's wound was bleeding continuously, and more men in black were approaching around him with a fierce look.

“Hahaha, this is really touching!” The leading man in black laughed wildly, his eyes full of mockery, “But, none of you will leave here alive today!”

After that, he gave an order, and the other men in black immediately surrounded Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng. Xiao Yichen held on to his body, protecting Chu Mengmeng behind him, and wielded his sword tightly, but he was outnumbered and soon had several more wounds on his body.

"Yichen, please go away! Don't worry about me!" Chu Mengmeng looked at Xiao Yichen's scarred body, her heart ached and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about!" Xiao Yichen gently wiped away the tears on her face, his eyes as firm as before, "I promised you that I would protect you forever, and I will keep my word!"

At this critical moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distance, and then countless streams of light fell from the sky and hit the man in black like a meteor shower.

"It's Brother Su and Wan'er!" Chu Mengmeng shouted in surprise.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er led an elite force and descended from the sky to join the battle. They were all elites in the cultivation world and their strength should not be underestimated. Once they joined the battlefield, the situation immediately reversed.

Although the black-clad men were numerous, they gradually felt powerless in the face of this sudden and powerful force. Under the fierce attack of Su Mubai, Lin Wan'er and others, the black-clad men retreated step by step, and eventually some died, some were injured, some escaped, and disappeared into the night.

"Mengmeng, how are you?" After the battle, Lin Wan'er immediately ran to Chu Mengmeng and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine..." Chu Mengmeng was about to say that she was fine, but suddenly she felt dizzy, her eyes went dark, and she passed out.

"Mengmeng!" Xiao Yichen was shocked and hugged Chu Mengmeng. He found that her face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, and there was a black hidden weapon stuck in her chest.

"Oh no, the hidden weapon is poisonous!" Su Mubai's face changed, and he immediately went forward to check. He found that the hidden weapon was coated with an extremely rare and poisonous substance. If not treated in time, his life would be in danger.

"Hurry, take her to the hospital!" Xiao Yichen did not dare to delay. He picked up Chu Mengmeng, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the nearest hospital.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er followed closely behind, while the remaining practitioners began to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. This sudden attack plunged the entire city into chaos, and all this was just the beginning...

Xiao Yichen gently placed Chu Mengmeng on the hospital bed. Looking at the busy figures of doctors and nurses, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and anxiety and worry surged like a tide. He wanted to bear all this for her, but he knew that he had a more important task now, which was to protect this city and the land she loved.

"Yi Chen, I'll leave Meng Meng to you." Su Mubai walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said in a heavy tone, "Leave this to us, you go ahead."

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anxiety, and nodded solemnly. He knew that Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er would do their best to treat Chu Mengmeng, and he also had to shoulder his own responsibilities and never let those mysterious men in black hurt innocent people again.

After bidding farewell to Su Mubai, Xiao Yichen's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the night sky. He shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, keenly capturing the strange smell left in the air. On the streets, the originally prosperous night scene had been replaced by fear and chaos. Panicked people fled everywhere, the wreckage of collapsed buildings could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with smoke and the smell of blood.

Suddenly, a powerful energy wave came from a distance. Xiao Yichen looked up suddenly and saw a figure in a black cloak floating in the air, holding a long sword emitting faint light in his hand, and attacking the surrounding buildings wantonly.

"Stop!" Xiao Yichen roared, and his figure flashed, appearing in front of the man in black in an instant. The long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced straight into the chest of the man in black.

The man in black snorted coldly and waved his sword to block Xiao Yichen's attack. His tone was full of disdain: "Just with you, you want to stop me?"

"Who are you and why are you attacking this city?" Xiao Yichen asked harshly while fighting fiercely with the man in black.

"We are the Shadow Messengers, and our goal is to destroy this world!" The man in black laughed wildly, and the sword in his hand burst out with even more powerful power, forcing Xiao Yichen to retreat again and again.

At this moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky, and a figure wearing golden armor and holding a huge axe appeared beside Xiao Yichen. The powerful pressure made the surrounding space tremble.

"Shadowbringer, your doom has come!" The newcomer roared, and as he swung his giant axe, a golden blade of light slashed towards the man in black.

Faced with the sudden powerful enemy, the man in black's face changed slightly. He didn't dare to take it head-on. He flashed and disappeared into the night sky.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen looked at the newcomer with confusion in his eyes.

"I'm here to help you." The newcomer put away his great axe and said calmly, "The power of the Shadowbringer is far beyond your imagination. This battle has just begun..."

The words of the newcomer cast a more mysterious shadow on this sudden disaster, and also added more variables to the fate of Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng. Can Chu Mengmeng escape from the danger of life? Can Xiao Yichen join hands with the newcomer to fight against the mysterious shadow messenger and protect the peace of the city?
