My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 297 - 200: Awakening (Part 2)

"Or do you think Kunlun can come up with a better plan?"

She looked at Luo Mountain.

Luo Mountain: "..."

"It's not like we're just waiting around."

On the other side.

Tang Language whispered, "We just don't want to lose you as a friend..."

Mount Tai and the others remained silent, not refuting.

"I'm not as fragile as you think."

Ji Xin said expressionlessly, "And since I've asked for this position, gaining authority also means taking on responsibility. The same goes for you. Do you think I called you here just for discussion? Don't be silly. When the time comes, you'll need to help bear the pressure too.

Your Authority Source Canon is renowned; when you bear the pressure with Mount Tai, I can feel a bit better... Besides, who said we were friends?"

Tang Language: "..."

She glared at Ji Xin, lightly stomped her foot, and bared her teeth at him.

"That's settled then."

Ji Xin ignored her: "For now, let's head to the scene and see if we can exchange Chen Lusi out. Whether or not we can make the exchange, if they can't come out, then I'll handle the 'Demon Slayer'."

This time.

No one objected.

"Let's move out."

Seeing no opposition from them, Ji Xin turned to Xia Panqiu: "Just five minutes."

Xia Panqiu: "..."

...

The spacious street was bustling with people.

Yet Chen Lusi, dressed in casual trousers and a T-shirt, stood among them, looking especially out of place.

He wasn't fitting in just a moment ago either.

But while Li Zheng and the others had changed clothes, their gestures and language still appeared modern, making the sense of dissonance not so strong.

Only now.

With Li Zheng leaving.

Chen Lusi stood alone on the street, and that feeling of being out of place with the entire world became particularly intense.

"..."

Chen Lusi watched Li Zheng depart, then stayed silent for a while, observing those 'Indigenous People' around.

Actually, aside from being untouchable... they were indeed very real.

Vivid, lively, full of life.

If the environment were disregarded, one might even feel as if they've traveled through time.

Perhaps these people once existed?

... Maybe.

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, concluded with a definite answer in his heart, then slowly looked up at the sky, which was as blue as outside.

However.

Whether they once existed or however lively they seemed.

It's still fake.

The Li Zheng and others he knew were not such people at all.

They shouldn't live in a fantasy world.

"..."

Thinking of this.

Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze, then took a deep breath and silently moved forward, ready to continue to the second palace cluster.

But he had only taken a couple of steps...

"Oooh—"

The wailing sounded again.

And then quickly dissipated.

Chen Lusi's steps paused.

The existence causing the wailing seemed to lose patience; the intervals between the cries grew increasingly short.

Just as Chen Lusi had this thought.

"Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo."

The pitiful sobbing abruptly emanated from his side.

"..."

Chen Lusi slowly turned his head.

To the left.

The originally empty spot... suddenly a magnificent mansion appeared out of thin air.

And the little girl he had seen before entering the tunnel was squatting in front, tearfully covering her face.

While crying, she kept shouting, "Off with their head, off with their head, off with their head..."

Accompanying her sobs.

Clip-clop, clip-clop——

An intense sound of hoofbeats suddenly rang out.

Chen Lusi abruptly turned around, finding in the bustling market behind him, a fully armed cavalcade had appeared at some unknown time. The leader galloped his horse, staring fiercely at Chen Lusi, loudly yelling, "Lan Yu's ally! Kill!"

Chen Lusi: "..."

He hadn't yet reacted.

The cavalcade instantly arrived at his front, as the leading cavalryman raised a sharp sword, directly slashing at his head...

… Can they see me?

Chen Lusi immediately realized, suddenly leaning backward.

Whoosh—

The blade whistled through the air, narrowly missing Chen Lusi's nose.

At that moment.

Chen Lusi could even clearly feel the breeze created by the swinging blade.

Without a doubt.

... That blade was solid.

But why?

Chen Lusi had no time to ponder, as the cavalry behind had charged up.

First Line!

Chen Lusi's Spirit surged forth instantly, deploying Technique, pulling to the right side to evade the first wave of cavalry's impact.

And those cavalry missed their target, continuing forward due to inertia.

The leading man seized the opportunity to cleave toward the little girl squatting on the ground crying.

The little girl's head flew up, rolled several times on the ground, then slowly stopped, her eyes blankly staring at the sky.

While her still squatting figure, with blood seeping from the cross-cut neck, quickly soaked the white long dress she was wearing.

Clip-clop—

At the same time.

The cavalry behind also charged forward.

The dense sound of hoofbeats rang out.

Dozens of horses trampled over the little girl's body, leaving countless hoof marks on her previously crimson white dress.

Then, manipulated by the cavalry, the horses suddenly rose on their hind legs, letting out a high-pitched whinny.

Then.

... They got stuck.

Yes.

They got directly stuck.

The previously raging cavalry, maintaining the posture of the horses rearing up, froze in place.

It was as if some glitch had occurred.

The exact same situation as when Chen Lusi took out the Celestial Punishment Pistol earlier.

But this state didn't last long.

"Oooh—"

That familiar wailing sounded again.

At the same time.

The frozen cavalry came alive again, pulling reins fiercely, calming the horses, then collectively turning to face Chen Lusi once more.

"This is the chosen one!"

"Switch weapons!"

The leading cavalryman yelled again, then sheathed his sword, bending down to reach toward the saddle.
