89: Chapter 89 You Japanese should thank me

The moment the black moonlight crashed down, the rails beneath Executive Jiang Xu's feet bent first.

It wasn't crushed.

The direction itself had been rewritten.

The abandoned rails that originally ran straight into the distance, under the illumination of the black moon, looked like two living snakes, twisting and climbing toward the sky.

The shadows of the shipping containers peeled off the ground like sheets of black skin, wrapping back toward Executive Jiang Xu.

The gravity parameters in the air were completely out of control.

One second downward.

The next second to the left.

The second after that, it felt as if the entire space was being repeatedly kneaded by some invisible hand.

Executive Jiang Xu stood where he was, his long white windbreaker corroded by the moonlight, developing large black spots.

His fingers gripping the dark gold spear were white at the knuckles.

Tsukuyomi's Domain was not merely suppression.

It was tampering.

Tampering with the environment.

Tampering with the Law.

It was even attempting to tamper with the life order within Executive Jiang Xu that had been reconstructed by the rules of the Void Realm.

A dull thud came from Executive Jiang Xu's chest.

It wasn't a heartbeat.

It was a certain Strange Tales core within his body beginning to awaken under the stimulation of the black moon.

Dark gold patterns crawled along his neck up to his cheek, like cracked veins of molten gold.

Ye Zhiwei had once said it.

He was not a pure human now.

Nor was he a pure Strange Tales.

He was something sewn together by the hands of that forbidden monster in the reservoir.

A hybrid monster where Psionic power, Martial Dao, Awakening, and Void Realm Laws coexisted.

And in the deepest part of those Void Realm Laws, there remained a fragment of a Law that had been forcibly crushed, devoured, and modified.

The World-Swallowing Prison Wolf.

Half-step King Level.

Tsukuyomi raised his hand, and the black moonlight condensed into countless thin, long needles.

Each needle was entwined with the Lunar Eclipse Law.

"You cannot hold on any longer."

Tsukuyomi stood beneath the black moon, his right eye as pitch-black as a well.

His face was equally pale.

Executive Jiang Xu's repeated heavy blows just now had shattered almost all the bones in his right arm.

But after the Domain was expanded, the situation was different.

This was his moon.

His night.

The wreckage of his divine kingdom.

"The power borrowed by humans is, after all, not one's own."

Tsukuyomi's voice was as light as rain.

"That wolf inside you is afraid of me."

Executive Jiang Xu looked up.

His eyes remained calm.

Only deep within his pupils was there a bit more dark, bestial nature.

"It is not afraid of you."

Executive Jiang Xu slowly lowered the spear in his hand.

The tip of the spear grazed the ground.

The ground did not crack.

Instead, a piece was silently bitten off.

It was as if an invisible mouth had gnawed out a jagged-edged gap.

Tsukuyomi's eyes narrowed.

Executive Jiang Xu's voice was cold.

"It is hungry."

The next second.

The space behind Executive Jiang Xu tore open.

It was not a Void Realm fissure.

It was more like a giant mouth opening out of thin air.

No teeth.

No tongue.

Only circles of pitch-black Void Realm collapsing inward.

The Void Realm Devouring Law.

The most terrifying instinct of the World-Swallowing Prison Wolf.

It does not devour flesh and blood.

It gnaws on space.

Gnaws on Laws.

Gnaws on existence itself.

The black moonlight fell.

That Void Realm mouth rose to meet it.

No explosion.

No light.

That patch of black moonlight was bitten off in one gulp.

Tsukuyomi's expression changed abruptly.

For the first time, he retreated.

But Executive Jiang Xu had already moved.

He transformed into a dark gold afterimage, forcefully pushing through the distortion of the Lunar Eclipse Domain.

With every step he took, a piece of the space beneath his feet would go missing.

It was as if an invisible giant wolf was following behind him, feasting madly along the way.

Tsukuyomi brought his hands together.

The black moon in the sky suddenly lowered.

The light across the entire freight station was drained away.

The black moon, like an inverted dead star, plummeted toward Executive Jiang Xu.

"Lunar Eclipse Final Burial."

Faceless Lady, Hundred Ghosts Parade, Yomi Boy, Inverse Buddha, and Headless Samurai all changed color simultaneously.

It was not the first time they had seen Tsukuyomi use this move.

In the ruins of Neon, Tsukuyomi had once used this technique to wipe an entire polluted city off the map.

Not destroyed.

Wiped out.

The city's streets, buildings, survivors, and Strange Tales, along with any traces of its existence, were all gnawed into blankness by the black moon.

And now.

Executive Jiang Xu raised his hand toward that black moon.

On his palm, the dark gold patterns completely transformed into the shape of a wolf.

It was a phantom of the Prison Wolf without a complete body.

It only had a head left.

Yet it possessed a mouth capable of swallowing the sky.

Executive Jiang Xu spread his five fingers.

The Prison Wolf also opened its mouth.

Boom—!

The black moon collided with the giant Void Realm mouth.

The sky above the freight station was silent for a moment.

Then the entire sky cracked like glass.

The black moonlight was torn into fragments.

The giant Void Realm mouth was also corroded in reverse by the Lunar Eclipse Law, its edges constantly disintegrating.

A bloody wound exploded on Executive Jiang Xu's chest.

Black blood and golden Psionic power sprayed out simultaneously.

The black moon in Tsukuyomi's right eye also cracked open a fissure on the spot.

He let out a muffled groan, flying backward, and slammed heavily into the abandoned warehouse.

The warehouse collapsed with a roar.

Steel beams snapped.

Tin sheets flew everywhere.

Executive Jiang Xu knelt on one knee.

The dark gold spear was thrust into the ground, barely supporting his body.

Half of his body was corroded by the black moon, his skin covered in dense black spots.

Those black spots were still squirming, as if wanting to burrow into his bones.

And on the other half of his body, the phantom of the World-Swallowing Prison Wolf emerged.

The wolf's mouth opened and closed constantly.

Every time it opened and closed, a piece of the surrounding space was gnawed away.

Two types of Laws were tearing at each other within his body.

Executive Jiang Xu's breathing finally became ragged.

Yomi Boy was the first to laugh.

Inside the schoolbag on his back, the sound of a child crying rang out again.

"He can't hold on."

The white Noh mask on Faceless Lady's face curled into a smile again.

Elder of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade covered his bleeding eye socket, the copper coin fragments rotating in his flesh.

Inverse Buddha climbed up from the ground, black flesh buds growing behind the shattered Buddha statue.

Headless Samurai hugged his cracked head and slowly stood straight.

The five S-rank Strange Talk Sequence members surrounded him again.

They had indeed been beaten miserably by Executive Jiang Xu.

But Executive Jiang Xu was even worse off.

At least, that's how it looked.

Yomi Boy licked the corner of his mouth.

"Kill him."

"Make his head into a gift for the King as well."

Regardless of whether Tsukuyomi agreed or not.

They had already moved.

Five S-rank auras pressed toward Executive Jiang Xu simultaneously.

Executive Jiang Xu raised his head.

His face was pale, but his eyes were still not panicked.

It was as if he was waiting for something.

Yellow Springs water gushed out from beneath Yomi Boy's feet, and rotten child corpses reached their hands out from the water.

Faceless Lady's mask cracked, revealing the featureless face inside.

Elder of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade opened his mouth, calling out Executive Jiang Xu's real name again.

Headless Samurai drew his broken blade.

Inverse Buddha pressed his palms together, the incomplete Buddha shadow pressing down.

Just the moment before the five attacks were about to land.

A lazy laugh came from the distance.

"Six against one."

"After the sinking of Neon, did you sink your Bushido into the sea along with it?"

The curtain of rain was cut open by a line of water.

A man wearing a black windbreaker walked in from the entrance of the freight station.

He was slender, with gentle brows and eyes, and a smile on his face that looked like he was calculating everyone he saw.

The rain fell three inches in front of him and automatically parted.

Water droplets rotated around him like submissive blades.

The leader of the Salvation Society.

A top global wanted criminal.

Bai Cang.

Su Chen.

The five Neon S-ranks stopped simultaneously.

Their gazes instantly shifted away from Executive Jiang Xu and landed on Bai Cang.

At that moment.

The killing intent in the air changed.

If they wanted to kill Executive Jiang Xu just now, it was because of a mission.

Now, looking at Bai Cang, they were looking at national hatred and family grudges.

Executive Jiang Xu leaned on his spear and slowly stood up.

The black spots on his cheek were still spreading, yet he was as calm as someone just clocking out of work.

"You are late."

Bai Cang glanced at him, his mouth slightly upturned.

"You knew I would come."

Executive Jiang Xu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I was attracting you to come."

Bai Cang's smile deepened.

"How rare."

"The leader of the Great Xia Firmament Squad actually has a day where he needs to use a wanted criminal like me."

Executive Jiang Xu corrected him.

"It is utilization."

Bai Cang raised an eyebrow.

Executive Jiang Xu looked at those Neon Strange Talk Sequence members.

"They are going to assassinate the Queen of Great Britain."

The smile on Bai Cang's face faded a little.

The rain stopped beside him.

Individual water droplets hung in mid-air, like countless tiny mirrors.

"The Queen?"

He frowned.

"Queen Elizabeth?"

Executive Jiang Xu nodded.

"The assassination notice has already been delivered to Linhai No. 2 High School."

"On the gift list are the Queen, Bai Cang, Executive Jiang Xu, and Night Owl."

Bai Cang was silent for a moment.

Then he looked at the Neon group.

His eyes finally turned cold.

If it was just against Executive Jiang Xu, he could watch from the sidelines for a while.

If it was against Night Owl, he would intervene.

If it was against the Queen.

Things would be troublesome.

That woman was indeed very annoying.

But she could not die in Linhai.

At least not today.

And even less so, she could not die here because of his own past messy accounts.

Bai Cang sighed softly.

"You Neon people, your ability to pick a time is as annoying as ever."

As soon as the words fell.

Another Black Flame ignited from the shadows on the side of the freight station.

The flame had no temperature.

Yet it carried the most violent burning aura from the Void Realm.

A middle-aged man walked out of the Black Flames.

He wore an ordinary jacket, his entire head hidden in a hood.

He looked like a middle-aged father who had just left home and was forced to work overtime.

But wherever the Black Flames beneath his feet passed, the rain evaporated directly into ash.

Night Owl.

Su Jianguo.

Bai Cang saw him, his eyes lighting up.

"Little brother, you came too?"

Executive Jiang Xu's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

The Neon group was also stunned for a moment.

Night Owl stood in the rain, looking at Bai Cang.

His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

This "little brother" was called out too naturally.

So naturally that he was even a beat slow to refute it.

He actually hadn't fully accepted this "big brother" who had suddenly popped up.

But that bottle of S-rank potion was real.

His own hidden ailment was truly healed.

The Queen suddenly supporting Night Owl was also real.

And Bai Cang standing here right now, facing six Neon S-ranks, was also truly not retreating.

Su Jianguo's throat moved.

He really wanted to say don't go around recognizing relatives.

But the words on the tip of his tongue turned into another sentence.

"Big... brother."

Executive Jiang Xu looked at him.

The Neon group looked at him.

Even the sound of the rain seemed to pause for a beat.

Su Jianguo himself froze.

After these two words came out, he almost wanted to bite off his own tongue.

But it was already too late.

He could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Did you help me find the Queen of Great Britain?"

Bai Cang's expression was subtle.

He wanted to explain.

But this question couldn't be explained clearly for a while.

The Queen did come because of him.

But it wasn't him who found her.

And it wasn't for Night Owl.

At least not at first.

Bai Cang coughed.

"Uh..."

"She helped you voluntarily."

He paused, his expression suddenly serious.

"You must be careful of that woman."

Su Jianguo's heart shook.

Sure enough.

It wasn't a simple diplomatic courtesy.

How could a figure of the Queen's level speak up for a Great Xia wanted criminal for no reason?

She must have known about the existence of Night Owl through Bai Cang.

Perhaps even using Night Owl to threaten Bai Cang.

Forcing this global wanted criminal to have to bow his head.

Su Jianguo's gaze toward Bai Cang changed.

Complex.

Shocked.

And a bit of uncontrollable emotion.

His voice lowered a few degrees.

"She used me to threaten you?"

Bai Cang: "..."

Bai Cang opened his mouth.

He found this sentence even harder to explain.

If he said no, the Queen was indeed acting because of his relationship with Night Owl.

If he said yes, it didn't seem entirely wrong either.

And now was not the time to bicker about this.

Bai Cang rubbed his temples.

"Let's talk about this later."

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Su Jianguo nodded silently.

He understood.

Big brother didn't want him to have a psychological burden.

So he avoided talking about it.

This wanted criminal big brother actually did this much for him.

Su Jianguo felt even more congested in his heart.

On one hand, he felt it was absurd.

On the other hand, he felt it was ambiguous.

On the other hand, he wondered if he was crazy, actually being moved by a Salvation Society leader on the battlefield.

Executive Jiang Xu watched these two people, his eyes calm.

But his fingers gripping the spear moved slightly.

He suddenly felt that he had underestimated the complexity between these two hidden cards.

This was no longer an interest-based binding.

This was like family ethics.

The killing intent of the Neon group finally exploded.

Faceless Lady's voice was shrill.

"Bai Cang!"

Elder of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade gritted his teeth, the broken copper coins scraping out a bloody sound in his eye socket.

"It is you!"

Inverse Buddha's three broken Buddha faces twisted simultaneously.

"It was you who opened the Void Realm gates of Neon!"

The crying sound in Yomi Boy's schoolbag turned into a shrill laugh.

"Tokyo's seventy-two gates."

"Kyoto Imperial Palace pollution."

"Osaka coastline sinking."

Headless Samurai hugged his own head, his broken blade pointing at Bai Cang.

"The fall of Neon is all because of you!"

The five S-rank Strange Talk Sequence members scattered instantly.

They actually gave up on the severely injured Executive Jiang Xu.

Instead, they surrounded Bai Cang.

Tsukuyomi also slowly walked out of the collapsed warehouse.

The crack in the black moon in his right eye remained, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

But when he saw Bai Cang, for the first time, true hatred appeared on that young, pale face.

"Salvation Society."

"Bai Cang."

"You dare to appear in front of us."

Bai Cang stood in the rain, his expression without a shred of guilt.

He looked around.

Then he looked at these Neon Strange Talk Sequence members.

Then he smiled gently.

"Did you get one thing wrong?"

Yomi Boy's eyes were cold.

"What?"

Bai Cang spread his hands.

The rainwater gathered into a transparent water droplet in his palm.

Inside the water droplet, the distorted figures of the six Neon S-ranks were reflected.

"You should thank me."

The abandoned freight station suddenly became quiet.

Su Jianguo's pupils shrank.

Executive Jiang Xu's eyebrows moved slightly.

Tsukuyomi's face turned completely gloomy.

Bai Cang's tone was gentle, like he was lecturing a group of ignorant students.

"If it weren't for me connecting Neon and the Void Realm."

"Where would you in Neon get so many S-rank Strange Talk Sequence members?"

"Tokyo's seventy-two gates, Kyoto Imperial Palace Strange Tales nest, Osaka coastline retreating."

He smiled.

"It sounds miserable indeed."

"But look at it from another angle."

"Didn't you also give birth to five S-ranks because of this, and even a Tsukuyomi who transcends S-rank?"

Bai Cang looked at Tsukuyomi.

"In your previous national destiny, you didn't have this kind of configuration."

Su Jianguo: "???"

He stood in the Black Flames, the whole person stunned for a moment.

No.

What is all this?

Neon's fall, was it done by his big brother?

Tokyo's seventy-two Void Realm gates, were they opened by his big brother?

And he casually turned the country opposite into a Strange Tales farm?

Su Jianguo's throat went dry.

He finally understood why Bai Cang could become one of the world's most vicious wanted criminals.

This is not a wanted criminal.

This is a walking international disaster generator.

Tsukuyomi's right eye's black moon lit up again.

"You call the disaster of national subjugation a gift?"

The smile on Bai Cang's face faded.

"National subjugation?"

He raised his eyes.

The curtain of rain rolled backward at this moment.

"You in Neon, in the face of the Void Realm, wouldn't have lasted long anyway."

"I just made the result arrive ahead of schedule."

"By the way, I did a stress test for the world."

Executive Jiang Xu said coldly: "Is this the logic of your Salvation Society?"

Bai Cang did not look back.

"Hmph, as expected, you still cannot understand!"

"However."

"It's fine to scold me now."

"But after you're done scolding, remember to deal with these few in front of us first."

He raised his hand.

The accumulated water around the freight station rose simultaneously.

Lines of water hung in the air, sharp as countless invisible blades.

The Black Flames beneath Night Owl's feet also surged violently.

Although Su Jianguo was so conflicted that he wanted to find a place to smoke a cigarette and calm down.

But these Neon people wanted to kill the Queen.

Wanted to kill Executive Jiang Xu.

Wanted to kill Bai Cang.

And wanted to kill him.

This was unbearable.

Executive Jiang Xu gripped the dark gold spear tightly, forcibly suppressing the two Laws tearing at each other within his body.

He looked at Bai Cang and Night Owl.

His voice was hoarse, but still calm.

"Leave Tsukuyomi to me."

Bai Cang glanced at him.

"Are you still okay right now?"

Executive Jiang Xu raised the spear.

The tip pointed at the man under the black moon.

"Not dead."

"Then it's fine."

Bai Cang smiled.

"Very good."

He looked at the remaining five Neon S-ranks.

"Then these remnants of the old country."

"Little brother and I will split them."
