My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 229 - 178: Hardly Betrayal

Fine, drizzle continued to fall.

Soft and delicate.

In the constant exertion of his authority, Yu Zhou finally caused the weather to change.

It began to rain.

However, the disappearance of Xia Panqiu and the sudden appearance of Chen Lusi left everyone momentarily stunned, completely ignoring the rain.

As Chen Lusi stood there, observing the surrounding environment, he too was momentarily taken aback.

Moments ago, he remembered being in a pure white space. Considering Zhou Jian's last words, he roughly guessed he was targeted once again.

But just as he was about to assess the situation and see if there was a way to escape, he suddenly found himself outside...

So, for a moment, he didn't quite come to his senses.

"…"

Chen Lusi scanned the area.

As time passed, the fine rain became more even and forceful, growing heavier.

Countless raindrops slipped off the leaves, tapping on moss and ferns, making a crisp sound.

And Chen Lusi saw familiar faces like Li Zheng, Wu You, and others.

They were all in a daze at that moment.

If one ruled out the possibility of it being an illusion.

Then it was clear where he was...

But why?

In the silence.

Shu Li was the first to react. She ran towards Chen Lusi, calling out while running, "Chen Lusi, Panqiu is gone! What exactly happened? How did you and Panqiu switch places? What exactly happened?"

She rattled off a long string of words.

Hearing her, Chen Lusi quickly surveyed the area again and, sure enough, didn't see Xia Panqiu... then glanced down at his neck, seeing the rope there, and immediately understood.

He was once again stunned.

… Why?

"The previous command is canceled! Prepare for battle!"

At this moment.

Li Zheng also reacted... Xia Panqiu's actions undoubtedly took him by surprise,

But whether it was the right choice was not something he could be certain of.

After all, compared to having Chen Lusi trapped in the Anomaly Realm, sending support here... having him back here was indeed safer, at least he wouldn't be surrounded and wouldn't have to bear the risks of being in the Anomaly Realm.

However, the cost of this was... Xia Panqiu had to face the risks of being in the Anomaly Realm alone.

So, from an emotional standpoint, it doesn't seem like a good choice, since both members are living beings.

But rationally, Chen Lusi was indeed much more important than Xia Panqiu...

Since Xia Panqiu chose this plan without hesitation, taking the risk willingly, Li Zheng could only temporarily put aside other thoughts and proceed with the current best solution.

"Chen Lusi!"

With thoughts running rapidly, Li Zheng finished giving orders to his subordinates, then immediately shouted at Chen Lusi, reminding him, "Prepare for battle! It seems that the two of them just used a technique to trap you; Xia Panqiu switched places with you! Deal with the two enemies in front of us first."

"…"

Chen Lusi had just grabbed the rope on his neck, intending to take action, but hearing Li Zheng's words, his actions paused.

As Li Zheng's voice rang out.

Those still in a daze also came back to their senses.

The Security Army lifted their weapons, starting to release their authority.

Anna stared intently at the sniper rifle in Chen Lusi's hands, making a hand signal for her subordinates to stay put.

As for Geoffrey and Hamiti in mid-air, seeing the sudden appearance of Chen Lusi, their expressions changed.

They didn't expect... that the other side could switch places.

And the current situation was quite troubling for them. If Chen Lusi were trapped, they could leave one person to hold off Yu Zhou and those below, without worrying about Chen Lusi escaping.

But now that Chen Lusi was in the camp... not considering Yu Zhou, just the Security Army below was a significant hassle.

After all, most of the 'First Rider Position' support members were wiped out by Chen Lusi just now.

However, when they saw the sniper rifle in Chen Lusi's hands, their slightly regained rationality quickly vanished.

... Right in front.

That weapon was right in front of them!

And the operator was just an Empowerer in the Bleeding Stage!

If they could obtain it... they could even turn the tides!

"Hamiti!"

Geoffrey shouted, then showed a greedy expression, rushing straight towards Chen Lusi.

Hamiti was a beat slower, but soon followed behind.

Li Zheng immediately waved his hand forward, and the Security Army, who were still in place, raised their standard version 'tip' weapons, aiming at the two.

The next second.

Dozens of Spiritual Bullets were fired. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Geoffrey continuously moved, sidestepping to dodge the bullets, and when he couldn't, he took them head-on.

At that moment.

He only had eyes for the sniper rifle in Chen Lusi's hands.

Li Zheng saw this and quickly moved sideways, blocking Geoffrey's inevitable path, raising his fist with a stern expression. The Statue of Venerable King Guangying behind him became even more solid.

But Geoffrey didn't make it to Li Zheng.

Rumble—

A clap of thunder erupted unexpectedly.

Like the wrath of nature bursting out at this moment, lightning flashed wildly in the sky, casting a shocking light, dark and fierce.

And the moment the thunder sounded, a figure suddenly broke through dozens of randomly flying sheets of sheepskin paper, surrounded by electric light, and instantly arrived beside Geoffrey.

Then.

Rumble—

A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.

Giant strength surged.

Geoffrey was sent flying directly.

Even as his figure disappeared, the electric arcs in the air hadn't dissipated, still crackling.

Thud—

A dull thud, the ground trembled.

The rain intensified.

"I told you! I don't believe in your religion! You think reciting a few scriptures can face me!? You're not qualified; have your lord come, that would be something!"
