Chapter 194: A Hopeless Situation? Grand Tutor Shang Wen Zhong!
Li Zha quickly summoned Zhuge Ming, Yang Fei, Sun Yaya, and Lei Tao to his side.
They were considered among the most capable fighters.
Bai Yu naturally remained wary of Lei Tao.
However, in such a grand event, he couldn’t cause any significant trouble.
Furthermore, if he showed any intention of betrayal, it would inevitably attract the attention of the higher-ups, potentially leading back to the Lei family.
The Lei family was in collusion with the Vampire Clan, and currently present were the Sea Monster Clan, the Hell Realm, the Netherworld, and the Demon Race.
Therefore, the possibility of him exposing himself now was very small.
With this thought, Bai Yu quickly scanned them and asked, “Is everyone alright?”
Lei Tao couldn’t help but ask, “What are we doing? Are we heading to that mountain? But according to the official mission, we’re supposed to stay here.”
“The situation here is quite dire. If we go there, wouldn’t that be equivalent to desertion?”
His words clearly came from a normal person’s perspective, and Bai Yu couldn’t find any fault with them, so he could only reply, “There’s important intelligence.”
Lei Tao asked doubtfully, “Important intelligence? What kind of intelligence?”
“That’s not convenient to say.”
“But if you don’t reveal anything, we won’t know anything. If the higher-ups ask later, we’ll all be held responsible.”
Before Bai Yu could answer, Li Zha interjected, “Why are you being so indecisive now? Just tell us if you’re in or out. If you’re not willing, you don’t have to come. I, for one, trust Brother Bai Yu completely.”
Seeing this, Lei Tao said, “Alright, it’s mainly because we haven’t interacted much before. But since you’ve said so, I’ll go with you.”
Bai Yu looked at the other three. Zhuge Ming and Yang Fei had witnessed Bai Yu’s abilities, so they naturally had no objections.
Sun Yaya had just seen Bai Yu use lightning to feign invisibility and toy with several powerful individuals, and coupled with Bai Yu’s performance in the Taiji Array, she also nodded and said, “I have no objections either!”
“Good! Let’s go!”
With that, everyone unleashed their movement techniques and quickly dashed towards the distance.
Although the battle was fierce, those in the Spirit Sea Realm were still observing the entire battlefield.
Not only did the official personnel notice their group, but the alien races also naturally paid attention.
Their movement techniques were all strong, and their speed was quite fast.
However, the mountainous environment here was extremely complex, and the six of them didn’t have the ability to fly for extended periods, so they chose paths with fewer spirits.
In just five minutes, the group had covered half the distance.
Bai Yu unleashed his Gungnir, instantly piercing through three roaring ghost soldiers.
Lei Tao also possessed lightning abilities. At this moment, he released the Mirror of the Electric Mother, and three bolts of heavenly lightning instantly struck a certain spot ahead.
With a “boom~”.
Dozens of spirit bodies hidden within the earth ahead surged out.
They had been hiding in the earth under the protection of a powerful flower-like spirit body.
This was clearly an ambush for Bai Yu and the others.
Dozens of spirit bodies charged towards them. Bai Yu’s Nine Heavens Thunder Domain rapidly formed around him, and he glanced at the giant petal.
A creature from the Netherworld!
Just as Bai Yu pointed forward and a bolt of lightning shot out, he suddenly sensed a slight disturbance, as if he had spider-sense.
The moment he sensed the disturbance, the undead creature below and to his right immediately charged out.
It was a black bone creature!
Its entire body was imbued with dark attributes, exuding a chilling killing intent.
Its aura was contained, making its realm difficult to discern.
However, Bai Yu could feel that it was Half-Step Spirit Sea Realm! Or perhaps, it had already condensed a Spirit Sea!
All of its energy converged into the dual blades in its hands, giving off a sense of fatal crisis.
Bai Yu’s spiritual energy had only recovered to thirty percent at this moment.
The Scepter of Thunder in his hand glowed with lightning, forming a thunder field around him to prevent the creature from using spatial abilities for a sneak attack.
Then, Palm Lightning – Restraint!
A lightning ball shot out, and eight lightning nets instantly shot towards it.
The black bone undead merely rotated a single blade, instantly breaking through Bai Yu’s Palm Lightning.
It had only broken through one move, but Bai Yu’s brow furrowed.
According to his senses, this guy’s methods were extremely weird.
Other ways of breaking moves were to use force against force.
But this guy seemed to disrupt the internal nodes of Bai Yu’s moves, causing the power to dissipate.
Just as he was thinking this, the thunder field formed around Bai Yu suddenly became unstable.
The lightning, which had been confined to a fixed area forming a defensive posture, began to spill outwards.
This gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.
The black shadow rapidly attacked.
But at the same time, he felt a sense of crisis from behind him.
Thanks to possessing the Thunder God’s Eye, he sensed it a fraction of a second earlier, so he immediately unleashed the Thunder Shadow Body.
However, as he released the Thunder Shadow Body, he suddenly sensed a force rapidly disintegrating his clone, and he was also stripped from his special state.
Seeing this, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before activating the ability of the Thunder God’s Eye.
Under his observation, unknown dark factors were continuously pouring into his body.
Even though he understood what was happening, he was unable to clear this energy.
Just as he was thinking this, the Thunder Shadow Body was directly broken, and his figure was revealed.
Another sense of crisis came from behind him.
But a gentle energy appeared around Bai Yu.
Bai Yu looked over.
It was Sun Yaya!
Under the cover of an aquamarine shield, Bai Yu saw a dark energy being isolated.
Seeing this, he immediately shouted, “Sun Yaya, your energy seems to be able to block him! Restrain him first, and then we’ll figure something out.”
“No! Just trapping him is enough.”
Bai Yu suddenly understood something.
Damn it, why was he fighting!?
If he trapped this guy, he could just rush past.
Seeing this, Bai Yu glanced at Sun Yaya in the distance.
Their eyes met. Bai Yu didn’t give any secret gestures, only hoping Sun Yaya would understand his intention.
The next moment, Sun Yaya suddenly released a crescent moon tear-like treasure, instantly forming a giant barrier that trapped the black bone skeleton.
Bai Yu secretly activated the Thunder God’s Eye, and the next moment, he instantly began to flee.
He directly showed his intention to escape.
And at the fastest speed, he flew towards the mountain range behind him. It was a bit like selling out his teammates, but there was no other way.
Li Zha naturally saw this scene and immediately threw out twelve Buddhist Rosary Beads, and a massive formation shone down.
In just a few seconds, Bai Yu had escaped half a kilometer. He scanned his surroundings; there were no particularly powerful life forms in the dense forest.
However, in the distance, a large number of monsters were besieging that mountain range, and Bai Yu could sense the presence of powerful life forms.
It seemed these beings had no intention of stopping him.
Even so, for the sake of caution, Bai Yu quickly transformed into three figures, and also concealed a Thunder Shadow Body.
As he passed over a flat area and approached the mountain range, a gentle golden light enveloped Bai Yu.
Clearly, it was a Human Race expert.
Bai Yu also breathed a sigh of relief as much as possible.
Thus, Bai Yu was rapidly pulled by this force, approaching the mountain range.
At the same time, he was very worried that even more terrifying existences would appear.
He looked back at Li Zha and the others who were fighting.
Although he was getting closer to the mountain range, Bai Yu felt increasingly uncertain.
‘What are these guys trying to do? Why did they ambush us and then make no further moves?’
‘Or am I overthinking things?’
Bai Yu was filled with doubts.
Just then, he suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis.
Cold sweat instantly broke out.
Because he felt this sense of crisis was coming from himself!
He dared not hide anything anymore.
The cheat abilities from the Third Page and Fourth Page were both on cooldown. If he encountered a powerful existence, he would indeed be powerless to resist.
Of course, he was only about 1 kilometer away from the mountain peak with the laser cannon. He didn’t believe there were no Heaven Yuan Realm experts here, especially since intelligence indicated his Grandmaster Wang Zhong had fought against the Dragon Claw.
However, he couldn’t entrust his life to others.
Thinking this, Bai Yu had no choice but to stop hiding.
Lightning light began to gather faintly on his forehead.
Previously, it was just the basic abilities of the Thunder God’s Eye, but now it was fully activated!
Upon activation, he immediately sensed the source of the crisis.
A shadow!
The moment he sensed it, the black shadow seemed to realize it had been discovered.
The black shadow, which had been accumulating energy to invade Bai Yu’s Soul Sea, instantly launched an attack.
A chilling energy appeared at Bai Yu’s neck. If one looked closely, a ligature mark could be seen, with a dark blue hue.
However, Bai Yu’s Thunder God’s Eye seemed to possess consciousness and instantly shot out a bolt of lightning.
Bai Yu felt as if he had gained an omniscient perspective, and the black shadow was instantly blasted out from Bai Yu’s shadow.
At this moment, Bai Yu finally understood that the power that had been hindering his skills was not the black bone skeleton’s doing, but this shadow energy!
So there were two monsters!
Sun Yaya’s methods were effective because this monster had been fixated on him.
Bai Yu clearly remembered the reminder from the White-robed Big Boss: since the Thunder God’s Eye had appeared, he should kill the enemy as much as possible.
With this thought, he instantly amplified the beam.
The Scepter of Thunder also appeared above his head, and a figure appeared behind him.
With a “boom~!”
A massive energy blast shot out, appearing to be a special technique performed with the aid of the Scepter of Thunder.
A huge gully, over two hundred meters long, formed on the ground.
Under this power that suppressed evil lightning, the black shadow completely dissipated!
Bai Yu also used this power to close the distance to the mountain range.
The members of the guard legion here naturally saw Bai Yu and the others charging directly over.
As Bai Yu was about to enter the mountain peak’s barrier, a middle-aged man in special forces attire appeared before him and asked, “Why did you disobey orders, leave the Seventh Ghost Gate Pass defense line, and forcefully come here?”
Although Bai Yu and the others were students, this battle was no joke. The order given to Bai Yu and the others was to hold the Seventh Ghost Gate Pass.
To put it severely, their running here was already a violation of military orders.
Bai Yu immediately said, “I have important intelligence to report, concerning the Heaven Yuan.”
The middle-aged man’s expression remained unchanged. He simply met Bai Yu’s gaze for a full half-minute.
Only then did he say, “Follow me.”
Bai Yu knew that his actions of running over were too conspicuous.
Later, even after reporting the information, he felt that the alien races weren’t foolish and he didn’t know what would happen next.
But he had no other choice.
The time was extremely tight for obtaining this wartime intelligence.
He couldn’t possibly know that Yuan Yi, Freya, and others would die, causing severe consequences, and not say anything.
Perhaps, sneaking over himself was the most appropriate course of action?
However, he had lost all his abilities now and truly lacked the courage to do so.
Soon, Bai Yu met someone in a command post within a mountain cave: a muscular giant who looked impossibly human.
Although Bai Yu had never seen the person before, he knew with certainty that this was his Grandmaster Wang Zhong!
‘What’s going on?’
‘When the white-robed elder appeared before everyone, he didn’t seem to be in his true form either.’
‘No! It’s not certain whether what I saw was his true face.’
The muscular strong man then asked sternly, “Do you know what you are doing?”
His tone was clearly very serious, completely different from a private meeting.
Bai Yu held his mind steady, organized his thoughts, and said, “I have important intelligence!”
“Tell me. If it’s not important, you will be dealt with according to military law.”
“I divined that the Hell Lord – Vakaron Soth, will unleash the Dragon Claw and launch an attack as the battle nears its end!”
The muscular giant frowned and asked, “Is that all?”
Bai Yu felt that the tone was slightly off.
He thought carefully.
This was a battlefield, the territory of the guard forces, and military orders were being executed!
This was a serious place. He was familiar with the Captain and Director Yang, so he could report casually.
But this time, he had led a group of geniuses across the battlefield.
What would those who didn’t know the situation think?
In the eyes of some students at the Seventh Ghost Gate Pass, they might be deserters!!
Seeing this, Bai Yu could only explain in as much detail as possible: “The Princess of the Xing Ye Elf Race will die. Grandmaster! Your primordial soul will also be damaged.”
“Hmm?”
Wang Zhong let out a muffled sound.
He paused for a moment and then said, “You are only in the Qi Gathering Realm, how did you figure this out?”
“I…”
But before Bai Yu could speak, Wang Zhong waved his hand and then said sternly, “We are currently on a military mission. What I need to ask you now is, what information did you divine?”
Bai Yu could only continue to explain in detail.
“…These are the results of my divination.”
He felt a little guilty, fearing that his obvious act of running over might change things.
After listening, Wang Zhong said sternly, “Do you know how many areas in Tianhai City are facing a crisis tonight? Our situation here is not the most severe.”
“Even knowing this outcome, we cannot change it.”
“Moreover, the losses you mentioned are already considered very small for us.”
“However, the matter concerning the Xing Ye Elf Race is a bit troublesome.”
Bai Yu had been smooth sailing so far and hadn’t experienced the harshness of society. It was difficult for him to accept the feeling of seeing the current situation but being unable to change it.
“Can we only watch?”
“Hmph! Then you underestimate my strength. If the intelligence is accurate, blocking such an attack should be no problem. But that’s assuming things will unfold as you predicted.”
As Wang Zhong spoke, he suddenly thought of something and said, “Wait a moment!”
“What is it?”
“An old fellow who calculates heavenly secrets left behind a brocade pouch, saying to open it under special circumstances. Now it seems that the special circumstance should refer to you.”
With that, a golden brocade pouch appeared in Wang Zhong’s hand.
Seeing this, Bai Yu felt a surge of excitement.
Wang Zhong directly opened it, and only a bead fell out.
There wasn’t even a slip of paper.
Upon seeing this item, the two of them couldn’t help but look at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Wang Zhong frowned and said, “There seems to be a lightning punishment energy inside. It should be prepared for you.”
Bai Yu tentatively looked at it with his Thunder God’s Eye, only to discover that it was an eye!
An eye possessing the Power of the Ancient Gods!
Not Erlang Shen.
Lightning.
The Heavenly Venerable of Thunder, who Manifests the Divine Thunder of the Nine Heavens – Wen Zhong!?
What use is this to me?
Am I going to have another power-up?
But considering his current soul energy, he absolutely couldn’t resist an attack comparable to the Sixth Realm!
Even if you completely drain me, I can’t do it.
Your concubine truly cannot do it!
I don’t have the ability! Don’t you understand? If I fight any longer, I’ll have to confront Dharma Phase Realm experts!
I didn’t get arrested, and I didn’t make money from stocks. I’ll just confess directly, I’m currently living in Changsha, and during the National Day holiday, there were too many people, and a bunch of people were playing board games, so I…
Some board games have quite a strong story. I even tried one on Xihongshi earlier this year. For me, it’s like learning while playing.
Now I’m honestly writing.
