187: New spells

Chu Yuan raised a finger and pointed it lightly at Sun Meng.

Three inches from his fingertip, space seemed to collapse, constantly disintegrating and restoring itself... There was also an even more mysterious force, indescribable and unfathomable.

Sun Meng's consciousness had just returned from the impact of the Glazed Void Domain when she saw Chu Yuan's fingertip strike her chest.

Whoosh~ Like collapsing quicksand, the flesh and bones of her chest disintegrated in an instant, only to be swallowed by that square-inch Domain!

The high-grade inner armor she wore seemed like paper at this moment, failing to provide any resistance at all.

"Save me..."

Li Wei and Guo Ming had also recovered from the impact by now, their eyes splitting with rage.

No longer caring about attacking, one of them blocked Chu Yuan while the other grabbed Sun Meng and retreated violently!

Chu Yuan swept his leg, colliding with Li Wei's fist, and they separated.

In truth, he sometimes yearned for the fighting style of a Martial Artist—open and unrestrained, hearty and satisfying, with every punch landing squarely on flesh.

However, although he could do that, it lacked any real power.

Just like that kick to Li Wei; while it looked imposing, it was actually just brute force with Spiritual Qi attached to his leg. Aside from pushing the opponent back, it had no lethality.

Conversely, that finger pointed at Sun Meng looked light and unremarkable, yet if she had retreated a fraction slower, she would have ceased to exist entirely by now.

This was a technique he had newly converted during his two months of seclusion.

It was called: Life Extinguishing Finger!

Although the main purpose of those two months of seclusion was to verify if the System had any issues, Chu Yuan's gains were tangible.

Just like the attack he had launched at Guo Ming earlier, it was no longer the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art, but also something newly mastered: the Netherworld Sword Canon!

This sword-based Divine Ability was of a very high level and consisted of nine Realms.

Chu Yuan had currently only mastered the first Realm: Shadow Concealment!

Although purely in terms of attack power it could not compare to the third Realm of the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art, it was stronger in certain aspects.

Sun Meng swallowed Medicinal Pills as if they were worthless, stuffing them into her mouth by the handful.

But what made her break down was that no matter how she circulated her energy or how many Medicinal Pills she consumed, the large hole in her chest showed not the slightest sign of healing!

The Sixth Realm of a Martial Artist, Nirvana, meant the body's recovery ability had already reached an inconceivable level, and the Seventh Realm further strengthened this capability.

Just like Guo Ming; his chest wounds had already healed by now.

But Sun Meng was different; it was as if she had been born this way, and the missing flesh on her chest was never meant to exist, never belonging to her body to begin with!

Why!? What was that Martial Skill!?

She looked at Chu Yuan in a breakdown and screamed, "How is this possible!? Even if you are in the Seventh Realm, how old are you!?"

"How could you have such a profound foundation!?"

Chu Yuan laughed, "Do you think I would tell you if the Elder had personally taught me this?"

"The Elder..." Guo Ming's expression froze, and he said excitedly, "Is that mental attack Martial Skill of yours the 'Divine Kingdom of Light'!?"

Chu Yuan glanced at him in surprise and praised, "You have a discerning eye."

"..."

Sun Meng's face grew paler, and she pleaded, "Inspector Chu... do you really have to kill us all?"

If her subordinates or anyone else who knew her were to see her like this, they would certainly find it inconceivable.

Cold-blooded, vicious, and arrogant—these had always been her labels on this land!

Yet now, she was actually revealing such a pleading, weak demeanor to a young man...

But Sun Meng was out of options. Long-range attacks, close-quarters combat, mental Martial Skills... against this Inspector, they could neither fight back nor escape.

There was no need to even try; she finally understood where Chu Yuan's confidence had come from all along!

It was laughable that they had thought 'the Seventh Realm is not easy to surround and kill'... Thinking back on it now, it was truly ridiculously funny...

Perhaps in the eyes of this Inspector, they were just like three clowns, right?

He could have dealt with them easily, yet he let them perform, and only after he had had his fill of fun did he crush all their hopes...

"You say that as if I'm bullying you?" Chu Yuan asked in surprise. "Weren't you the ones who attacked first?

Besides, wasn't it you who were putting on an act for me?"

"As long as... as long as you spare me, I am willing to do anything!"

Chu Yuan inexplicably thought of a saying: when a woman tells you she is willing to do anything, it usually specifically means she is willing to sleep with you... If you were to ask her to give you her money, or order her to do other difficult tasks, that would absolutely not work.

Of course, Martial Artists were definitely different...

He shook his head, casting those inexplicable thoughts out of his mind.

"We are colleagues after a fashion, so let's keep this decent..." Chu Yuan sighed. "The most I can promise is to spare one of your Bloodlines each;

so that during the holidays, there won't be no one to burn paper money for you...

Don't harbor any other delusions."

In reality, he really didn't have any intention of toying with them. How much time had passed since Li Wei's negotiation with him collapsed until they started fighting? Not even a few minutes... What kind of toying was that!

It was just that for those who weren't enemies in the strict sense, he was willing to give them a chance to speak, at most wanting to see if the three of them had any other trump cards.

For example... were they colluding with alien races? Or some other organization?

But since no one else had entered the fray by now, it seemed they didn't... They still possessed that tiny bit of a bottom line, it seemed...

"You said it yourself, we are all from the Zhenwu Bureau; must we really die!?"

"Even if... even if it's just being exiled to the Dark Blade Camp?" Sun Meng became agitated.

"The Zhenwu Bureau isn't run by my family, and I didn't set the rules... I'm just following protocol." Chu Yuan shook his head, the ink shadow hovering at his side. "Surrender? Or... continue fighting?"

"Noble families, noble families... what the hell is a noble family!?"

"Even if we were wrong... isn't your master-disciple heritage just another form of a noble family!? Why don't you kill yourself first!?"

Chu Yuan's gaze turned cold. "Giving you a chance and you don't take it..."

Shadow Concealment was activated again, and the agitated Li Wei only felt a chill strike him.

The next moment, his right arm flew high into the air!

Immediately after, his left arm, right leg, left leg... until that ghostly longsword pressed against his brow, breaking the skin, and beads of blood rolled down...

Guo Ming hesitated for a moment, then stuffed a black pill into his mouth.

In an instant, his face flushed red, and veins bulged! His Aura also began to swell!

He had clearly swallowed some kind of forbidden drug that boosts strength in a short time!

Chu Yuan felt a bit annoyed; why couldn't they just cooperate?

The ink shadow hummed, about to pierce through!

But at this very moment, a figure came shooting over from the distance like a chased rabbit!

"Chu Yuan! Don't kill!"

Feng Zhao's face still bore traces of shock and gravity.

Behind him, a black line filling the horizon came rolling in...
