Luo Jian reached out and touched his left eye.
After touching, he took a look at his palms, and found his hand was bloody.
One of his eyes was blinded. Although he will recover completely after leaving the secret chamber, this is the first time that he suffered such serious injuries since he left Asura Realm.
Luo Jian lowered his head to look at Xing Yan, who was sitting against the wall in the corridor. The other party closed his eyes. He had already fainted.
Luo Jian unconsciously shook his body. He almost collapsed on the ground. He stuck his sword into the ground, barely supporting his body. Not only his left eye, but also all parts of his body had different degrees of wounds, which were cut by the formless spatial blade.
It was not as if there were no players who possessed spatial abilities in Asura Realm previously, but they were too rare. This kind of ability was an ability that could only be possessed once in a blue moon. Xing Yan not only had this rare ability, but also was one of the best among them.
The most terrifying thing was……
Xing Yan’s strength had risen to a terrible level.
He did not know how to describe it, but clearly, Luo Jian had exchanged moves with him previously. At that time, although Xing Yan could teleport and use other means to attack, but regardless, spatial ability was something rather dangerous. Even as the wielder, Xing Yan must be careful. But now, it was completely different. Without even showing his weapons, he had begun to manipulate space wantonly. He had learned how to use the blade of space he did not know how to previously!
Not only had he learned, but he could also attack using the spatial blade at the same moment. Regardless of whichever angle he attacked from, one would not be able to sense its aura. The speed of the spatial blade was even faster than Duan Li’s knife. If it wasn’t for Luo Jian’s miraculously sharp senses, he would have been killed several times.
Luo Jian finally won because of his rich combat experience. The ten years of endless fighting in the Asura Realm was not in vain. Luo Jian could see from the first sight that although Xing Yan fought using his spatial powers, his body seemed to be very weak. And if they were fighting in close quarters, one was afraid that his attacks would be hard to defend against.
“This bastard…… the way his power grew is too odd.” Luo Jian sat butt down, hand holding his sword. At this time, he had entered the lifeboat and closed the door. Several people from Team Ghost Shadow came out from the corner and surrounded him.
“Captain is acting strange. He cut off the alien’s hands and feet just now.” Wang Yue shuddered as he said to Luo Jian, “Speaking of which, he is also brimming with killing intent, as if his whole personality altered.”
“Forget it. I don’t think he knows me anymore.” Crying, John took out a handkerchief and rubbed it on his face. “It’s frightening!”
Jiang Li did not speak. He began to spread his almighty powder on Luo Jian. After quite some time, he said, “He’s possessed by the devil.”
John cried again, “Captain doesn’t practice ‘Cainishi Kongfu’. How would he be possessed by the devil?”
“Stupid!” Wang Yue said, “it’s just a metaphor. Being possessed by the devil generally means that something went wrong in practice, causing lasting psychological and behavioral abnormalities. If it’s serious&#k2026;&#k2026;he would turn into a lunatic.”
“The captain became a lunatic &#k3J3;(&#k3063;&#kK0;&#k414;&#kK0;;)&#k3063;!” John painfully screamed.
This time, even Jiang Li could not bear it. He raised his paw to smack John’s head. John was beaten to the extent he had to hug his head and wipe a handful of bitter tears. He pitifully retracted into the corner.
Luo Jian sat by Xing Yan’s side, listening to the conversation of several people in Team Ghost Shadow. Then he looked back at the man who had fainted beside him, and sighed with frustration.
“Is the end still the same?”
Would it never change?
Luo Jian reached out his claws and touched Xing Yan’s cheek. His skin was warm, which proved that Xing Yan was still a player, not a stalker…… Luo Jian did not know whether he expected Xing Yan to become a stalker or to remain his current status quo. He did not know what kind of person he had fallen for, but as long as he knows that he was still him……
He would be inexplicably at ease.
I’ll be at ease if you’re here.
Luo Jian took a deep breath and said to the rest of Team Ghost Shadow: “He has not hurt the group of you, which proves that he still has some sense. If possible, I will investigate what happened to him, but…… I’m afraid I’ll be away for a while, and everything else afterwards would have to depend on the group of you.”
The few people in Team Ghost Shadow nodded to Luo Jian like a chicken pecking rice. Luo Jian was also a little relieved and turned his head to see Xing Yan.
As a matter of fact, Luo Jian knew that he would not return to Team Ghost Shadow again, because fate had already embarked on its established track. Before that, he met his cousin Luo Feng, Clown, Duan Li and Ah Lan……
Every time, Luo Jian hoped that he could change the fate of these people a little, but every time fate went on its prescribed route.
Xing Yan was no exception. He was doomed to turn into this. When Luo Jian first entered the secret chamber and heard about Team Ghost Shadow from others, they said that the captain of Team Ghost Shadow was a cruel, cold-blooded and merciless man.
In fact, when Luo Jian met Xing Yan in A lone boat trading grounds, he felt that there was something wrong with what he heard. Although he had some strength, he was also sensitive and resourceful, and had a rational and calm judgment on matters, and had nothing to do with cold-blooded cruelty.
So, what changed him?
Luo Jian showed a smile that looked like he was about to cry. He knew what had changed him, and it had clearly displayed itself in front of Luo Jian.
It was fate.
It couldn’t be defeated, the fate of man, the fate of things, and the fate of the world.
So, we couldn’t change it, we could never change it, we could only cheat it.
By relying on coercing and threatening Noen, the lifeboat started to move. The huge valve in the dock had been opened. Outside, it was not a vast river of stars, but chaotic darkness. But these people did not stop moving. They drove the lifeboat into the deep darkness.
Hope was always in front.
Even if what was in front of them was a sea of darkness.
The secret chamber of Ancient Remains was successfully cleared.
Instead of asking Xing Yan to sign, Luo Jian directly used his authority to forcibly terminate the relationship between himself and Team Ghost Shadow. At last, he hesitantly gawked at Xing Yan, then turned around and left. He leaped through spacetime, and did not specifically specify a destination, and in this manner, he arrived in the next location.
By Clown’s side.
Currently, Clown was squatting in a secret chamber and struggling hard in it. Luo Jian’s sudden appearance made him stab him with a scalpel, but he was easily blocked by Luo Jian.
Then, Clown also responded, almost throwing his scalpel out, and exclaimed excitedly, “Cute and adorable student Abyss!”
With that, Clown pounced on him, hugged Luo Jian and began to wriggle……
“Let go.” Luo Jian said, with a black face.
Clown was frightened by the killing intent he released. He trembled and let go of his paws. He said pitifully, “Why are you acting this way, you’re so fierce.”
Luo Jian took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, I’m not in a good mood.”
“Why are you in a bad mood? What’s the problem?” Clown asked curiously.
“No, it’s not a big problem.” Luo Jian slightly lowered his head, but after a while, he raised his head to look at Clown. “Time is running out. My plan is about to start. I have to train you from now on.”
“Train…… me? ” Clown crooked his head. He just lacked the act of sucking his fingers to act cute.
Luo Jian was in a better mood for some reason. His mouth arced into a demonic smile, and he looked at Clown who was in a daze and didn’t know that he was in deep waters and scorching fire and said, “I want to make you stronger…… strong enough that at least you would be the last man standing in the battlefield.”
Listening to Luo Jian’s words, Clown could not help but shiver.
How cold.
And after a period, Clown finally understood what Luo Jian meant by training.
Luo Jian had the authority of GM after all. He gave himself the status of a stalker and headed into whichever secret chamber Clown was. He chased him from one chamber to the next for a long time. In other words, every time Clown entered the secret chamber, he must be well prepared, because he knew that Luo Jian would be waiting for him in it.
Clown also grew up rapidly in this highly-tensed up state. He was naturally competent. Forced by Luo Jian, he made great progress.
Meanwhile, during the period when Clown did not enter the secret chambers and took a rest, Luo Jian also received a new invitation from the secret chamber’s will. The secret chamber also intended to train Luo Jian, and it seemed that because Luo Jian had always given himself the status of a stalker during this period, so this time, the secret chamber simply let Luo Jian become a stalker and let him participate in the team battle that involved various Oracles.
At this point, there were many strong players in the secret chamber, and there were many Oracles who had opened the final test mode hoping to escape from the chambers successfully through the final trial. However, Luo Jian became their stumbling block and tried every possible means to block these players from achieving their goals.
After all, he was no longer a naive newbie. He had no weakness at all. He cut people like he cuts vegetables. Psychologically, Luo Jian also felt that for a moment, that he was back into the state when he was in the Asura Realm, numb and mechanical.
Sometimes he would think, could I really destroy the secret chamber? Even if it was destroyed, he couldn’t return to the past, right? There were too many dead people, and there were quite a number of people who died under his hands. Even if the chambers were destroyed, who could be saved?
Or, as Noen said, conquer the secret chamber and become its master? So, he could release all……no, they couldn’t be released. The players had trained in the secret chamber for too long. Their strength was so strong that they had the strength and power far better than ordinary people. Moreover, the secret chamber developed their bloodthirsty nature, if the chamber let them out, wouldn’t it cause chaos in the world?
“I think it would be better to get the cube…… even though I still hate this power.”
“But yes…… It was this disgust that made me realize that my……kindness still exists.”
Luo Jian stood numbly at the secret chamber that hosted a team battle and talked to himself. He did not know how long he had been standing here. At this time, the door beside him was opened, and a group of players poured in. Seeing Luo Jian, they immediately put on various fighting postures.
Luo Jian couldn’t speak in front of the players. He merely looked quietly at the players in front of him.
Everyone’s face was full of different emotions, astonishment, anger, vigilance, panic……
If time could be reversed, would you like to live an ordinary life in a world filled with stability, or would you want to repeatedly let out a battle cry in the bloody battlefield as you face death?
