280: Desperate Moments

“Water Yu, Teacher Water Yu!”

Gongye Shiyi pushed the door open, but he did not see Shui Yuqianxi.

At this moment, he had already realized that something was wrong.

He quickly searched the house.

Why, why did Shui Yuqianxi not even issue a warning?

This is impossible.

Even if Shui Yuqianxi could not summon her armor, with her strength, it should not be possible…

No!

If it was that evil Mu Men Depei.

Gongye Shiyi stopped at the last unsearched room in the house.

His hand gripped the cold doorknob.

However, Gongye Shiyi did not dare to turn the doorknob for a moment.

He was afraid of what he might see.

He was afraid he would not be able to accept the result.

“Leave there immediately, Gongye Shiyi!”

“Mu Men Depei…”

“He’s there!”

Bang!

The Wooden Door, which he dared not open, shattered, and a emerald green blade pierced out from within!

Gongye Shiyi’s pupils constricted.

Mind’s Eye automatically triggered, and his body, at the brink of life and death, instantly broke through its limits!

He desperately stretched his arms forward, blocking in front of him!

Swish! Swish!

The emerald green blade instantly pierced through his arms, then plunged into his chest, 貫穿 his heart and emerging from his back.

“Are you the Machinist?”

“Unfortunately, you won’t have the chance to summon the armor.”

…

“This room has been enveloped by my dark power.”

“Even your Summoner will be locked within this room as a separate entity at this time.”

“So don’t try; you can no longer contact anyone else.”

Mu Men Depei looked at Shui Yuqianxi in front of him, slowly straightened up, and stood up from the sofa.

“Still not summoning the Sea Spirit Armor?”

Mu Men Depei looked at the unmoving Shui Yuqianxi and spoke.

“I’m afraid the moment Yu Lai summons her armor, she will be killed by you.”

“This evil power, never seen before, indeed only you, Mu Men Depei, can possess this level of evil.”

“Moreover, Yu Lai’s body is already unable to summon armor.”

Mu Men Depei’s emotionless gaze swept over Shui Yuqianxi.

“That’s not surprising then.”

“Even when facing the most desperate situations, you Summoners will always try with your lives.”

“It’s impossible to sit and wait for death; even if I were to kill you the instant before you summon your armor, you Summoners should still summon your armor and fight without hesitation.”

“It seems you really can no longer summon the armor.”

Mu Men Depei looked at Shui Yuqianxi, and Shui Yuqianxi stared directly back at Mu Men Depei.

“One last question for you.”

“Whether you answer or not, I will kill you afterward.”

“Where is the Second Generation Fire Finch now?”

Shui Yuqianxi sneered.

“He went to cut…”

Swish!

In an instant, Mu Men Depei’s figure disappeared, and Shui Yuqianxi felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She spat out a mouthful of blood and lowered her head.

She only saw a bloody hand reaching out from her chest, crushing her heart.

No water transformation, no magic trick of lies.

This was a real heart.

Mu Men Depei killed Shui Yuqianxi without hesitation.

Thud!

As Mu Men Depei withdrew his hand, Shui Yuqianxi’s body fell to the ground.

Her cane also fell to the side.

“You really can no longer summon the armor.”

“Even under the threat of death, you did not summon the armor.”

“Is it really worth it, to strive to this extent for something so ethereal?”

Blood instantly gushed from the hole in her chest, staining her clothes and the floor.

When Mu Men Depei seized an opportunity, he would never let it slip away due to carelessness.

He would use all his strength to eliminate all opponents, leaving no chances.

Similarly, he also understood.

After killing Cheng Yang last time, it was because he did not take the Summoner in time.

That’s why this series of events extended.

However, now, he had learned his lesson and would not let any Summoner escape.

He would not give humanity any more hope.

However, this Second Generation Sea Spirit in front of him did not carry the Summoner on her person.

It was unbelievable.

No…

Mu Men Depei quickly dismissed this conjecture.

“Can Summoners transmit between each other once their numbers increase?”

“But this place has clearly been blocked by my dark power.”

“Even information cannot be transmitted, how could Summoners be able to transmit between each other?”

“Is it a hidden ability of the Summoner?”

Mu Men Depei’s memory began to awaken, and his battle with Cheng Yang replayed in his mind.

He had indeed snatched the Summoner into his hand once.

At that time, the Summoner had not yet differentiated into more Summoners.

At that time, the Summoner was still in its original mode, only the most basic Light Summoner.

And when he held the Summoner in his hand.

The Summoner attacked him without any apparent human manipulation.

The Summoner chooses its Summoner, and non-Summoners, even if they obtain the Summoner, cannot summon armor.

The wisdom brought by Mu Men Depei’s long life continuously eliminated answers, finally giving him a terrifying one.

That is…

The Summoner.

It always had its own will.

The Summoner possesses intelligence.

“This, this is impossible!”

“How could it have intelligence, have will? A Summoner is just an item, an item that stores energy.”

“How could it, how could it…”

Mu Men Depei looked at Shui Yuqianxi’s lifeless body on the ground.

If the Summoner possesses intelligence, if the Summoner has its own will.

Then what would it do now?

Abandon its holder, escape alone, hide?

“Or perhaps…”

Mu Men Depei held his long blade in one hand and tentatively reached out to Shui Yuqianxi with the other.

Is this woman truly dead?

Her body, he confirmed, was dead.

The Summoner does not possess the ability to revive the dead; when Cheng Yang died, the Summoner showed no signs of reviving him.

Just then, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the door.

Mu Men Depei’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly moved into the innermost room.

At this moment, even Mu Men Depei was shocked by the information he had processed.

“No, it’s impossible to have the ability to revive the dead.”

“A living organism, at the moment of death, irreversibly moves towards decay.”

“No will can reverse this process.”

“This woman is indeed dead.”

At this time, Gongye Shiyi had already arrived at the room door.

Mu Men Depei gripped his blade tightly, quickly locked onto Gongye Shiyi outside the room, and thrust the blade out fiercely.

What if the Summoner has a will? It’s still just hiding its head and showing its tail.

Last time, the Summoner was able to abandon Cheng Yang and escape; this time, the Summoner made the same move.

It was not surprising at all.

The will hidden within the Summoner is not noble.

Splat!

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood rang out, the blade piercing through Gongye Shiyi’s arm, chest, heart, and emerging from his back.

Blood gushed from the wound.

Mu Men Depei’s expression did not change in the slightest.
