Chapter 166 Blaming Myself for Being Too Incompetent
A heart-wrenching scream shattered the tranquility of the Qinling Mountains.
Kuroda Ryuji's mind went blank, and all he could see was the golden longsword that had pierced his right hand and pinned him to the tree trunk.
The sword's blade was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his distorted face.
He didn't even dare to look at the young man floating in mid-air.
That was beyond all the knowledge he had accumulated over forty years of life, and he even wondered if he was hallucinating.
Chen You remained expressionless, but the chill in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
He glanced at Kuroda Ryuji, who was nailed to the tree, as if he were looking at a lifeless object.
killed?
For a fleeting moment, he did indeed think about it.
But he knew very well that he had to leave some alive.
A thought subtly stirred within me.
"Buzz—"
The Jade Emperor Sword that pinned Kuroda Ryuji's right hand emitted a soft hum, and the blade suddenly trembled!
puff!
Kuroda Ryuji felt an irresistible force coming from his wrist, and he was forcibly pulled off the ground, his feet leaving the ground.
The golden longsword was not drawn; instead, it was used to turn his arm around so that the tip of the sword was pointing upwards.
His whole body was like a string of cured meat hanging up, suspended in mid-air.
"No...no..."
Ryuji Kuroda finally regained a sliver of his senses from the extreme shock.
He struggled violently, trying to grab the sword with his other hand, but dared not touch its sharp edge.
Chen You looked at him coldly, then turned away.
next second.
call out!
The flying sword beneath his feet instantly activated, transforming into a golden streak of light that shot back in the direction it had come from.
Kuroda Ryuji, pinned down by another sword, was like a puppet being pulled along by a kite, being forcibly dragged along behind.
A terrifying sonic boom exploded in my ears.
The wind was like a knife, scraping his cheeks until they hurt so much he couldn't even open his eyes.
The mountains, forests, rocks, and streams beneath us receded rapidly, turning into blurry patches of color.
At this moment, Kuroda Ryuji finally understood what true despair meant.
He wasn't being "escorted"; he was being dragged along as an "object."
That person didn't treat him like a human being at all.
……
The atmosphere on the platform outside the command center was extremely tense.
Li Guoan's face was ashen as he issued a series of orders in an orderly fashion, and a massive net was being cast at an alarming speed.
Pan Yu and the others stared intently at the direction of Chen You's disappearance in the night sky, their hearts pounding in their chests.
Just then, Sun Feng suddenly pointed to the distant night sky, his voice trembling: "What...what is that?!"
Everyone looked up at the same time.
In the distant sky, a dazzling golden rainbow was seen piercing the night sky at a visible speed, shooting straight toward the platform!
"It's Chen You! He's back!" Pan Yu shouted.
Before the words were even finished, the golden rainbow had already swept in.
boom!
With a muffled blast, Chen You's figure hovered steadily in mid-air, ten meters in front of the platform.
He stood on a golden flying sword, his clothes fluttering in the air currents, his expression as cold as ancient ice.
The entire platform fell into an instant silence.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them, which resembled a divine miracle, and lost the ability to react.
However, this was not the most shocking thing for them.
Behind Chen You, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget—
Another identical golden flying sword was also suspended in the air.
A man wearing an outdoor windbreaker was hanging in the air, his right wrist pierced by the sword, like a piece of carelessly discarded trash.
The man was covered in blood, his body was still convulsing uncontrollably, and he was making incomprehensible "hoarse" sounds.
"hiss……"
Gasps of astonishment filled the air.
Even someone as seasoned as Li Guoan, who had seen it all, couldn't help but twitch his eye when he saw this scene.
He had imagined many ways Chen You could bring people back, but he never expected it to be like this...
So brutal, so direct.
Chen You's gaze swept over the crowd on the platform, finally settling on Li Guoan.
His voice was devoid of any warmth, eerily calm.
"I've brought the person."
After saying that, another thought crossed his mind.
The Jade Emperor Sword, which was pinned to Kuroda Ryuji, flew slowly to the center of the platform, and then tilted at an angle.
puff.
Ryuji Kuroda was thrown onto the cold ground like a lump of mud.
Chen You stepped off the flying sword, his feet landing on solid ground.
The two Jade Emperor Swords then transformed into two beams of golden light, entered his body, and disappeared.
He didn't even glance at Kuroda Ryuji on the ground, but merely gestured with his chin towards Zhang Yunhai.
"You guys know better than I do how to get things out of his mouth."
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Zhang Yunhai's reply was firm and resolute.
Chen You turned around and looked toward the direction of the Institute of Physics in the distance.
[One can discern a person's heart by observing their aura!]
A pale golden light flashed in his eyes.
In his field of vision, the ball of light that originally represented the life force of Academician Qian Zhonghua was now steady and bright.
The deathly gray and ominous black lines that had previously lingered over it have completely vanished without a trace.
Fate has truly been changed.
Chen You felt no joy, but rather a deeper sense of urgency.
In that critical moment, he couldn't even stop the fragments with his flying sword immediately.
This time, members of "Dragon Scale" reacted quickly.
What about next time?
Can I always be this lucky?
Ultimately, it comes down to my own inadequacy!
If he has already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, his divine sense can cover the entire Qinling Mountains with a single sweep.
He can sense even the slightest movement.
If he has already reached the Golden Core stage, he has a hundred ways to resolve the crisis!
This is the difference.
"Director Li, I need to go into seclusion immediately." Chen You's tone was more serious than ever before.
"Okay." Li Guoan didn't ask any questions, but simply nodded emphatically. "Just let me know if you need anything."
He knew that this young man in front of him no longer needed him to say anything more like he was lecturing a child.
Chen You said no more and turned to walk towards his private room.
……
Welcome back to the Origin Realm, pioneers of the immortal path.
Baiyujing, Chen You's figure appeared out of thin air.
Without lingering for a moment, he left the territory and went straight to the Supreme Tower.
"Shadow Clone!"
A deep, dark energy rose from the shadow beneath his feet, quickly outlining and coalescing, eventually transforming into a figure identical to himself.
The clone's eyes lacked luster and appeared somewhat empty, but its aura and attributes were exactly the same as the original.
With a thought, as if controlling another arm, Chen You's clone immediately raised its head, and its empty eyes instantly became lively.
"That's interesting."
This feeling of multitasking is wonderful and powerful.
"Hill, let's get a room," Chen You said to Hill as he turned around.
Hill looked at Chen You walking towards the inside, and then at Chen You standing in front of him.
A fleeting look of disbelief crossed her stunningly beautiful face.
They immediately opened the entrance to a training room for Chen You.
Hill.
Chen You's clone finally spoke, his voice flat and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
I have a question.
"Please...please speak."
Chen You's clone stared directly into her eyes.
"In the Source Realm, with my current permissions and level..."
"Are there any features that I've already met the requirements for but haven't been activated yet...?"
