Chapter 536: Chapter 314: Action and True Child to the Rescue_2

Chen Sheng had witnessed Ol’s strength himself; with his help, they would be able to find the whereabouts of Shinkan Isshin in the shortest possible time.

“Thank you, Knight Ol.”

With that,

Li Wuji looked at Sun Yihe, waiting for the investigation results.

It wouldn’t take long to investigate the missing cases and the traces of Meng Nan.

With the efficiency of the Martial Arts Association, it would only take a few minutes.

At this point,

Ol spoke again.

“President Li just said that I ranked in the top three of the geniuses he has ever seen.”

“It seems that the Martial Arts Association is indeed a place where talent is hidden.”

“Although it’s a bit presumptuous to say.”

“But I’ve come here with the Empress this time, also to witness the powerful martial artists, to see a longer road.”

“I hope President Li can help.”

Ol was not a blind man.

He never thought that he was the only genius in the world.

On the contrary,

he was looking forward to seeing someone stronger than him.

It’s more satisfying to exceed a stronger person, isn’t it?

Then again,

what Ol found odd was,

after he said this, Li Wuji’s gaze became very strange.

Three points of admiration, three points of praise.

The rest was an emotion that Ol couldn’t describe with words.

“I advise you not to.”

“This is the truth.”

In the end, Li Wuji didn’t say anything more.

He just quietly patted Ol’s shoulder and said solemnly.

“I also advise you not to be stubborn.”

At this time,

Sun Yihe, who had returned from a short distance away, also echoed Li Wuji.

His gaze was exactly the same as when Li Wuji warned Ol.

Regardless of whether it was Li Wuji or Sun Yihe,

both their actions were conveying a message.

They seemed to be very sure that they were no match for the “genius” in their mouths.

This was quite interesting.

Ol felt his competitive heart being completely stirred up.

He became more eager to see,

the mysterious genius in their mouths, who it was.

However,

before Ol could speak again,

Sun Yihe had already picked up the phone.

“Understood.”

He nodded from time to time and quickly put the phone down.

“We found a clue.”

Sun Yihe revealed the scope of the unusual events investigated by the staff.

Almost simultaneously,

Ol and Li Wuji looked at each other.

“Old Sun, you stay here and guard.”

“The rest of you, come with me.”

“Let’s go.”

Li Wuji waved his hand.

He was ready to lead the Martial Arts Association’s members away from Kyoto, heading directly to the area where abnormal events were frequent.

Although that place was thousands of kilometers away from Kyoto.

But with their speed, it wouldn’t take much time.

“Not, just leave me an-”

Only Sun Yihe,

just after hearing Li Wuji’s order, he was about to speak and discouraged.

What a joke.

Transferring all the high-level martial power away, leaving only him in Kyoto?

One should know that,

according to their speculation, Shinkan Isshin’s identity is very mysterious, and his strength may even be above Shinkan Zhenzang.

If the opponent takes advantage of the weak defense in Kyoto and counterattacks, the originally winning situation may completely collapse.

Sun Yihe did not expect that Li Wuji would make such an unwise decision at this time.

However,

Li Wuji apparently didn’t intend to listen to him, but just looked silently at his phone.

Then,

he left with a group of high-level members.

Huh?

Sun Yihe looked puzzled, not knowing what Li Wuji’s last glance meant.

He could only pick up his phone, ready to see what Li Wuji was up to.

The screen lit up.

Li Wuji had sent him a short message at some point.

Open the message.

Inside, there was only one sentence.

It was also at the moment of seeing this sentence,

Sun Yihe immediately understood Li Wuji’s plan.

[Chen Sheng is in Kyoto]

“Ah~”

“Then it’s okay.”

“Heh——”

“Heh——”

Sanhe City, Downtown dark alley.

The sound of panting echoed.

A young man with a terrified look was running frantically in the narrow alley.

His speed was fast.

At full speed, only a series of afterimages could be vaguely seen.

But for some reason,

every time he ran about ten meters, the young man would stop, looking bewildered.

Although this state lasted for less than two seconds before disappearing,

it still greatly slowed down the young man’s escape speed.

“Damn it, what the hell is that thing?!”

He cursed fiercely.

Looking back,

as expected,

the figure holding the black umbrella was quickly approaching him.

Having no choice,

The young man could only run wildly once more.

But this time,

he had only run about ten meters,

when his feet suddenly stopped again.

The scene in front of his eyes changed drastically.

From the dark and narrow alley, it turned into an underground cave.

“Brother,”

“I’m already dead, do you know that?”

“I died so miserably, please save me.”

The voice of his younger brother echoed in his ears.

He saw his younger brother, Ma E, reaching out to him and walking towards him not far away.

But Ma Xiong knew,

that wasn’t his brother.

It was just an illusion created by the strange man in a suit.

Because at this moment, his younger brother’s face was graced with a weird, curved smile as he approached.

The purpose of the creature was to delay his steps and make him fall into the hands of the grotesque Cracked-Mouth Woman behind him.

“Get away!!!!!”

With great difficulty, he had managed to escape from Feng’s clutches by using the memory manipulation ability he had mastered.

Ma Xiong would not allow himself to die in the hands of such a baffling thing.

He still had to take revenge.

Revenge for his brother!

He mobilized all the power of memory manipulation,

deleting the scene before his eyes from his memory.

The dream world shattered as a result.

“Huh——”

Another gasp for breath, ágain.

Ma Xiong, who had once again awakened, didn’t hesitate at all before running.

He didn’t even dare to look back,

afraid that even a slight delay of a millisecond would result in the grotesque woman behind him catching up to him.

Thump!

In his frantic escape,

Ma Xiong felt as if he had stepped on something and crushed it.

But he didn’t have the intention to care about that, as he only wanted to get as far away from the monster as possible.

However,

with each use of memory manipulation,

his body had grown increasingly weak.

The depth of consciousness that the Dream Man could affect had grown deeper and deeper.

So much so that…

when Ma Xiong awoke again,

and saw that not only had the Dream Man not disappeared, but had actually appeared in reality,

he instantly felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet and straight to the top of his head.

It was over.

Looking at that weird smile,

that was the only thought left in Ma Xiong’s mind.

Whoosh-

It seemed like a cold wind was blowing.

At the moment when the Dream Man who was not far away took a step towards Ma Xiong,

Ma Xiong instantly felt an even more bone-chilling cold attack the back of his neck.

He didn’t even have to think about it.

It was that ugly monster holding the black umbrella.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

Ma Xiong’s expression suddenly became ferocious.

“What kind of monsters are you!”

“Why did you come after me!!!!”

Memory manipulation had no effect on these two monsters.

It was something that Ma Xiong had already tried before.

But he still didn’t want to give in without a fight.

He used the martial arts he knew and attacked the Dream Man in front of him.

However,

even though his moves were strong and powerful,

they all went through the Dream Man like he wasn’t even there.

As if the opponent didn’t exist at all.

Snap.

Finally,

a hand gently touched Ma Xiong’s shoulder.

In an instant,

Ma Xiong’s body stiffened.

His expression became rigid, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He could clearly feel his vitality rapidly draining away.

It was the Cracked-Mouth Woman!

Despair,

filled the mind of this Holy Sect renegade.

“I’m sorry…. brother.”

Facing death,

Ma Xiong thought of his brother who had died at the hands of the Holy Sect.

“Brother… I can’t avenge you––”

“Don’t panic, benefactor!”

“Hurry up and take out your phone, and I will help you deal with these two monsters!”

Just as Ma Xiong was about to enter the life-review phase,

a rough voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

“Who’s that?”

Ma Xiong was startled.

“Never mind who I am.”

“I’m here to save you!”

“Hurry and take out your phone. It will be too late once the Cracked-Mouth Woman takes control of your body!”

This voice sounded like a woman,

but it was so coarse that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

But having reached this point,

Ma Xiong felt that aside from believing in this voice, he seemed to have no other choice.

So,

he gathered the last of his remaining strength,

clenched his teeth, and abruptly pulled out his phone.

At some point,

the screen had lit up.

The scene showed an empty ground covered with dead branches and leaves.

And…

a dry well.
