Chapter 142 Who Will Proclaim the Way (Thirteen) I'm Going to Kill Her! ...
Bian Shaoyan felt a surge of anger burning his heart. He couldn't understand why Shi Liuyi, who was clearly inferior to him in every way, could withstand his full-force attack.
here we go again……
Since that assassination attempt, Bian Shaoyan's smooth-sailing life seemed to have taken a turn for the worse, with setbacks in both his personal life and career. That feeling of frustration lingered in his heart until it reached its peak at this moment.
The more Bian Shaoyan thought about it, the more intense the anger burning in his chest became. A strange energy spread from his chest to his whole body, and he trembled all over, as if a voice was whispering in his ear: Why? Why can everyone step on his head? He should be the chosen one of this era.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him to prove yourself, to prove that you haven't been abandoned by fate.
Even though he no longer had lungs, Bian Shaoyan was still panting heavily, as if using this action to feel the little patience he had left burning rapidly.
At this moment, Bian Shaoyan stopped thinking about how to continue exploring after killing Shi Liuyi, and didn't want to ask him in detail how he blocked the attack, which should have been impossible to block.
Within his translucent crystalline body, the green liquid boiled to its peak along with his rage. Bian Shaoyan stared intently at Shi Liuyi, his eyes bulging with spiderweb-like blood vessels.
Stared at by that gaze, Shi Liuyi felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were locked in an ice cave. An unprecedentedly loud danger warning was blaring in his mind, which only fueled his fighting spirit.
Shi Liuyi let out a soft shout, and a faint light seemed to flicker deep in his pupils—this was the manifestation of his spiritual power burning to its limit. A semi-transparent barrier condensed in front of him, but if you stared carefully at the surface of the barrier, you could only see one after another twisted and chaotic pattern.
Logically speaking, Shi Liuyi's supernatural ability has reached this level, which should be enough to withstand any attack of the same level. Even if Bian Shaoyan's attack were to come again, he would be confident that he could withstand it.
But for some reason, Shi Liuyi had no confidence at all. His muscles were twitching and he was about to burn his almost depleted mental energy. In his mental perception, a green light suddenly appeared in Bian Shaoyan's direction. Although it was very weak, it made his hair stand on end and every cell in his body screamed danger!
A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, tracing a slight itch across his nose. Shi Liuyi dared not be distracted for a moment. Suddenly, he heard a dull thud like a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by a faint groan, like a woman's painful moan.
Logically speaking, any noise at this moment could be a trap set by Bian Shaoyan. He shouldn't be distracted, nor should he be. However, the faint familiarity in the voice stirred his heart. Shi Liuyi subconsciously drifted off into thought, and when he came back to his senses, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
However, his opponent, Bian Shaoyan, who possessed exceptional combat skills, failed to capitalize on this rare opening. He looked at Shi Liuyi's side in surprise, his mind momentarily caught off guard by the shock.
Although Bian Shaoyan quickly recovered, the name he subconsciously called out revealed his inner turmoil:
"Gu Tu?! What are you doing here?"
Shi Liuyi felt a chill run down his spine at the all-too-familiar name. He didn't have time to observe Bian Shaoyan's movements and subconsciously looked towards the direction from which the sound came. He took a few steps forward but was stopped by Bian Shaoyan's attack.
"What do you think you're doing?! Get away from her!"
"Get out of my way! She's bleeding, can't you see?!"
Bian Shaoyan hesitated for a moment.
The woman lying on the ground groaned at the right moment. Gu Tu rolled out from somewhere, her pure white silk nightgown covered in dust and bloodstains. Her long hair was messy and spread behind her, with a few strands sticking to her eyelashes, trembling and swaying in her open and confused eyes. At this moment, she was extremely fragile and powerless, but she was still beautiful.
"Hiss, cough, cough..."
Those bewildered dark eyes swept over the two men locked in a stalemate. Gu Tu seemed not to have figured out the situation yet. She tried to sit up, but this simple movement aggravated her wound. She couldn't help but gasp for breath, cover her mouth with her hands, and cough violently, her shoulders shaking like a flower branch swaying in a gale.
The bruises and bloody abrasions on Gu Tu's body were a shocking sight. Knowing that all the team's medical supplies were with Shi Liuyi, Bian Shaoyan maintained a tense expression for two seconds before reluctantly taking a step to the side: "You should know her identity. You can't cure her..."
Before Bian Shaoyan could finish his threatening words, Shi Liuyi impatiently stepped forward, shoving the obstructive Bian Shaoyan aside with his shoulder. He squatted down in front of the woman, whose face was flushed from coughing, and took out the medical spray he carried with him to treat several injuries that looked particularly serious.
As soon as the spray landed, Shi Liuyi could clearly see the muscles around the wound tense, and the faint, suppressed cries of pain still emanating from it. He pursed his lips, quickened his movements, and tried to divert Gu Tu's attention by making a conversation:
"Excuse me, we've run out of anesthetic. What are you doing here?"
Even though the anesthetic had been destroyed in the recent battle, Shi Liuyi, afraid of frightening her, skipped over that and asked another question that was also of great concern to her.
"Thank you, that's already very kind of you."
Gu Tu gently shook her head, thanked him softly, her face pale, causing her long eyelashes to droop, casting distinct shadows on her eyelids. She looked at the man kneeling beside her, healing her wounds, then seemed to remember something, tilting her head to the side. Bian Shaoyan, his eyes filled with surprise and scrutiny, seemed oblivious to her presence, managing a weak smile.
"And Brother Bian."
Shi Liuyi paused in treating the wound, suppressing a sudden surge of irritation and unease. He treated the wound even more meticulously and carefully, listening silently to the girl's story:
"...I don't know why I'm here. I woke up and found myself here, being forced to attend class by some weirdo..."
Attend class?
Despite not wanting to be on the same page with that damned Bian Shaoyan, both Shi Liuyi and Bian Shaoyan's expressions turned strange when they heard Gu Tu recount her experiences with lingering fear.
Both of them were exploring space, but Gu Tu could obtain information while sitting comfortably in the classroom. What was the danger that the group of them had to face?
Are they just unlucky?
"...Then, I don't know why, that strange pigeon tried to kill me, and my other companion sided with the pigeon instead of me..."
"It's alright, it's all over now. I'm here, no one can hurt you..."
"Companions? You mean there were others who came in? Who are they?"
After bandaging Gu Tu's wound, Shi Liuyi was halfway through his words of comfort when Bian Shaoyan pushed him aside and urgently questioned him. Shi Liuyi was about to retort angrily when he suddenly saw Gu Tu look up and glance at Bian Shaoyan out of the corner of his eye.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but Gu Tu's glance just now seemed to be filled with coldness.
Is it just my imagination?
Having missed the best opportunity to yell at her in a daze, Gu Tu lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and nodded, "Yes, she was with me from the beginning, she is..."
"Boom!"
With his attention completely focused on Gu Tu, Shi Liuyi's expression changed drastically when he heard a huge explosion. He didn't have time to think about why this cycle had come so late. He immediately activated his mental energy to use [Overload Refraction] to protect the two of them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Tu raise her head, her misty black eyes wet. Even though the two of them were very close, he couldn't quite make out the woman's gaze.
"It's [New Sun]!"
Suppressing the inexplicable tremor in his heart, the sheriff's professional instincts allowed him to quickly identify the source of the scorching fireballs that were crashing down from not far away.
Although the appearance of the long-dormant [New Sun] here was surprising, what shocked Shi Liuyi even more was that a figure was actually moving and leaping among the dense rain of fireballs that emitted enormous energy.
Anyone with eyes could see that it was [New Sun] chasing that figure, but because the woman moved gracefully and acted with composure, she showed no sign of being chased. Instead, she seemed like a special effects actor on a stage, with an indescribable calmness in her demeanor.
"Du Yu?"
Gu Tu frowned, hesitantly uttering a name. Shi Liuyi felt the name sounded familiar, but before he could recall it, Bian Shaoyan frowned in disgust, his lips curling into a sneer, "Du Yu? She's not dead yet?"
Suddenly, the disdain in Bian Shaoyan's eyes froze. As if he had suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed with realization and anger. The two emotions intertwined and repeatedly pulled at his facial muscles, making his expression look somewhat comical.
Bian Shaoyan seemed oblivious. As if he had finally figured out a difficult problem, he slowly nodded, his voice uttering each word with a hint of gritted teeth:
"So that's how it is. I knew it. Who else could hate me like this?"
Bian Shaoyan wasn't without enemies in the Upper City District; on the contrary, given his flamboyant and unyielding personality, he had dealt with countless enemies and mortal adversaries over the years. However, because Bian Shaoyan always adhered to the principle of eliminating the root of the problem and striking first, he would eliminate any foolish person who had ever been his enemy. As a result, after the incident, he lay on the cold operating table, unable to close his eyes, thinking for three days straight, but he couldn't think of a single opponent who hated him to such an extent that he hadn't taken action against first.
But today, when he heard Gu Tu utter that name, and when he saw Du Yu, whose face was unrecognizable and who should have been dead, standing in front of him, with his intelligence, he had already pieced together all the events without needing any other information.
"Fine, very well. No matter which evil god you choose to serve, I will make you realize that this is the most regrettable decision He has ever made!"
Bian Shaoyan gritted his teeth, his old and new grudges mixed together. Because "Du Yu" was originally his admirer, his hatred was also mixed with a bit of embarrassment and anger. He raised his hand without regard for anything else, and the green liquid in his body boiled. The attack that Gu Tu had just suppressed began to condense again!
As if sensing danger, they narrowly avoided a fireball. The woman, whose features were both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, suddenly looked up and noticed the three of them. She raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Then she looked at Bian Shaoyan, who seemed to be preparing to attack, and looked at him as if she had seen something very funny. Her eyebrows curved into a smile, and then she raised her hand and swept her palm across his neck in a very standard "decapitation" motion.
I'm going to kill her!!!
