186: Defection at the last minute?

Every plan they had made was predicated on the assumption that they could kill Chu Yuan!

Only with no living witness could they fabricate whatever they wanted afterward...

But if Chu Yuan got away, no matter how eloquently they spun their tales, they would simply be crushed by their superiors!

And the Seventh Realm... is not so easy to kill...

"Useless!" Li Wei glared viciously at Dong Yibai. How could she know absolutely nothing about such important information?

"I don't know..." Dong Yibai desperately wanted to defend herself. When Chu Yuan arrived yesterday, she had been sent away by Feng Zhao to do other things, so she had no idea that Chu Yuan and the Phantom Demon had clashed.

And at that time, besides Chu Yuan, Feng Zhao, and that scar-faced youth, everyone else present had been killed by the Phantom Demon...

However, when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't make a sound.

She turned stiffly and flew off in one direction...

Li Wei noticed that something was wrong with Dong Yibai at this moment and frowned.

But he couldn't be bothered with her right now, and he turned his head to face Chu Yuan again.

A voice rang out: "Yo, what's going on here?

Li Wei, this must be the new Inspector, right? Why are you fighting? Is there... some kind of misunderstanding?"

Two figures arrived together, a man and a woman, who seemed to be just passing by.

The man was called Guo Ming, and the woman was called Sun Meng; they were the other two Commanders of the Zhenwu Bureau that Chu Yuan had not yet met!

Li Wei said coldly, "Stop pretending. He discovered you a long time ago!"

Guo Ming was stunned for a moment and rubbed his nose: "What do you mean? How come... I don't quite understand?"

"This kid is ruthless; he isn't planning to let us go... You two, let's fight for our lives!

If we can't finish him off here today, our fate will be..."

Guo Ming was silent. The moment he sensed Chu Yuan's aura, he had wanted to give up on the ambush.

Ambushing someone in the Seventh Realm was simply too difficult to succeed!

Because they were themselves in the Seventh Realm, they naturally understood that while Chu Yuan might not be a match for them, if he were determined to escape, he wouldn't be easy to stop...

"Li Wei! What are you saying!? Who are you fighting for your life against? Who are you trying to finish off!?" Unexpectedly, Sun Meng cried out with a look of astonishment.

"Huh?"

"Li Wei! You want to defect!?" Sun Meng seemed to suddenly realize, and with a grave expression, she drew the short sword at her waist and pointed it at Li Wei.

Li Wei reacted quickly. His face was so cold it could drip water, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Bitch! At a time like this... what are you still fantasizing about!?

This kid is impervious to reason; do you think that if you grovel to him, he'll spare you!?"

Chu Yuan was noncommittal and watched with great interest.

These three Commanders were quite the performers... putting on a show of turning over a new leaf.

Their intelligence was timely, and their actions were quick.

He had only arrived in the Western Continent for one night, yet all three Commanders had already received the news and knew why he was here.

They had even transferred Feng Zhao away... Chu Yuan felt that Old Feng had most likely been transferred.

His own team members were harboring ulterior motives; what kind of situation was this?

Feng Zhao... was probably a good-for-nothing...

"I don't know what you're talking about. Attacking an Inspector is considered defection.

I only know that I must enforce discipline!" Sun Meng said decisively. With a movement of her body, circular ripples of air erupted, and a cold glint struck directly at Li Wei's neck!

In an instant, a howling storm surged over Mosa City...

Chu Yuan's heart stirred slightly. Was it the Law of Wind?

He had not yet comprehended the Law of Wind, but because of the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art, he was not unfamiliar with it.

The moment Sun Meng made her move, her whole body seemed to transform into a gale, completely merging into the storm.

Violent, swift, erratic, and unpredictable...

Chu Yuan's gaze turned to the last person, and his voice entered Guo Ming's ears for the first time.

"What? Haven't you decided what to do yet?

Are you going to defect on the battlefield like Sun Meng... or join Li Wei and try to kill me?"

Both were gambles. But siding with Sun Meng was gambling that this Inspector was soft-hearted and would deal with them leniently in exchange for their atonement.

And siding with Li Wei was gambling on whether they could kill Li Wei!

However, there was never much certainty of being able to ambush this Inspector in the first place, and now that Sun Meng had defected, the chances had dropped to freezing point...

Guo Ming sighed: "Inspector Chu... do you have nothing to say?"

"Say what? That I can let bygones be bygones? Or promise you something else?" Chu Yuan sneered. This person not only failed to see the situation clearly, but his wishful thinking was also quite something.

Still daydreaming, refusing to give up until he sees the prey?

Whether it was Sun Meng or Li Wei, both were much more decisive than him...

Seeing Chu Yuan's attitude, Guo Ming's heart sank into the abyss once again.

Li Wei was right; this Inspector was indeed impervious to reason... He wasted no more words, took his spear in hand, and smashed it toward Chu Yuan!

The clouds over Mosa City were evaporated in an instant! The sky was as clean as if it had been washed.

Chu Yuan's expression was indifferent as a wisp of black thread leaped out from his side.

There seemed to be over a dozen crisp clinking sounds ringing out simultaneously, overlapping.

The long spear in Guo Ming's hand trembled violently, as if he could barely hold onto it!

Feeling the numbness in the web between his thumb and index finger, he was horrified; this young Inspector... was even stronger than he had imagined!

But there was no time to change moves, because in his peripheral vision, a black line appeared, striking from below like a ghost, instantly slashing at his chest!

Droplets of blood splattered as Guo Ming's body uncontrollably smashed into the ground.

An entire street was affected by his impact, as if a violent earthquake had occurred...

Chu Yuan watched the panicked crowd below, his mouth twitching slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

The residents of Mosa City didn't respawn exactly at midnight; if they were caught in the crossfire a few more times, there wouldn't be many left alive...

"Cough, cough~"

Guo Ming wasn't playing dead; he quickly climbed up and looked down. Through his outer garment, he could see the edge of a silver-gray inner armor.

The sturdy inner armor had been slashed open, revealing a gruesome gash, and through the opening, one could even see his writhing internal organs...

Chu Yuan was not surprised. He had black armor himself, so why wouldn't other Martial Artists?

Guo Ming was also a veteran Seventh Realm expert; it was perfectly normal that he wasn't killed in one strike.

One more strike would do...

The ink shadow once again faded from Guo Ming's field of vision, and a great sense of life-and-death crisis welled up in his heart!

He silently swallowed a Medicinal Pill and lunged at Chu Yuan again!

At the same time, a short sword and an iron fist appeared almost simultaneously on both sides of Chu Yuan's head.

The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said disdainfully: "Truly a bitch..."

Seven-colored glazed light appeared in the sky without warning.

The bodies of Sun Meng, Li Wei, and Guo Ming all froze simultaneously...

Glazed Void Domain, descend!
