My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 724 - 386: Gu Family’s Raid, The Eleven Members of the White Crow Travel Brigade

"The Ghost Train Corps..." Urushibara Osamu pondered, his gaze not lingering on them, because he knew Ke Qirui's nature; if it were just these three from the Ghost Train Corps, they would never rush in so recklessly.

In just half a second, he suddenly looked up, gazing at the night sky above the sea.

At this moment, a giant teaching ruler was hanging beneath the solitary moon, with two figures standing on it, their silhouettes flickering in and out among the scaly clouds.

One of them was with his arms folded, wearing a tattered cloak and clad in silver and black armor, while the other figure had his hands behind his back, wearing a pair of reflective frameless glasses.

At this moment, the two figures on the teaching ruler were looking down coldly at the twelve members of the White Crow Travel Brigade.

"Ghost Bell, and... the president of the Exorcist Association?" Urushibara Osamu's gaze swept over the two of them, instantly recognizing them, yet his face remained calm.

"Dad is here too... then brother must be here as well; where brother is, the one to be most wary of is him..."

Seeing the teaching ruler, Xia Pingzhou's mind raced.

He unleashed the Celestial Driver, streams of black and white light spread out from his body, forming a Möbius loop-like chessboard. At this moment, a god's-eye view appeared in his mind, as if a chess player was overlooking the chessboard.

After advancing to Tier Three, the chessboard's field of view expanded dramatically, now reaching a radius of three hundred meters, nearly covering the entire port, with the surroundings all in his sight.

Xia Pingzhou swiftly scanned the port with his peripheral vision while searching in his mind for Gu Qiye's figure:

—It was precisely because he understood Gu Qiye the most that he knew the thing to guard against among the Gu Family was that lightning so fast it was impossible to react to!

"Oh dear, this is troublesome..." The Hacker put away his phone, slightly furrowed his brows, and looked up at the teaching ruler, thinking, "These people indeed came prepared. I should have guessed they might strike while monitoring the Third Prince earlier."

"That's..." Tong Zizhu looked up, suddenly frozen. Through the fox mask, she stared intently at the young man on the teaching ruler with glasses, murmuring:

"Grandpa...?"

Indeed, at this moment, Su Wei in her eyes was exactly the same as the person Tong Zizhu had seen more than ten years ago, to the point where she momentarily doubted if she was seeing things. Could it be that this guy doesn't age?

When Su Ying first brought her to Su Wei years ago, she looked up and saw a youth wearing frameless glasses. The young man then had his hands behind his back, face serious, with a cool demeanor.

Yet this sudden change seemed not to have ended; Urushibara Osamu sensed something wrong. His intuition told him that something unignorable and dangerous was approaching from afar!

So, in that instant, his gaze left the Train Demon and the teaching ruler.

At last, Urushibara turned his head slightly, using the corner of his eye to look toward the coastal highway.

At that very instant, from the top of that coastal highway, a jet-black lightning bolt shot down from the mountainside, aggressively diving toward the port like a fierce beast, stirring a gust of wind in its wake!

"Boom—!"

Even the air seemed to freeze momentarily, with the ripping roar sounding a second later.

"Brother is here..."

At this moment, Xia Pingzhou paused briefly, then he and the kimono-clad girl beside him almost simultaneously turned their heads.

The two could see that the black lightning was coming straight at them! Their expressionless faces sank slightly.

Ayase Origami's Endless Copybook in her sleeve flipped open; in an instant, pink paper pages soared like cherry blossoms, forming a rising curtain blocking the direction of the incoming black lightning.

Simultaneously, a black and white halo burst out from Xia Pingzhou's body as he sharply turned his head, the cold pupils reflecting the black lightning that surged with an unstoppable force.

"It's already too late... At such close range, the young mistress's pages can't possibly stop brother; with his speed and power, he could eliminate us both in an instant." Xia Pingzhou's mind raced, his face slightly sinking.

At that moment, the inky lightning pierced the air like a spear, tearing through the makeshift paper curtain by Ayase Origami, roaring and howling as it advanced.

The roar was deafening, yet the world fell silent! Xia Pingzhou's pupils contracted, a sharp, fierce light rapidly closing in.

He realized that in this moment, no one in the brigade could help him and Ayase Origami because among the Catastrophe Level power users, none could match Gu Qiye's speed; not even one. Unless time was halted, no one else could provide immediate support.

There was only one way, his thoughts settled in a tenth of a second.

"Black King Domain."

Xia Pingzhou faced the impending electric light, his gaze icy like a deep chasm, as if issuing a command in his heart.

"Black King Domain," this was the Celestial Driver function unlocked after the second body advanced to Tier Three. Its function was:

—To unfold a chessboard space, drawing your enemies into it; unless permitted by you, or if they kill you, no entity can freely leave the "chessboard."

In an instant, with Xia Pingzhou's body as the center, black and white ring paths expanded in a circular formation.

Like a huge ring rushing out, it enveloped Ayase Origami's body, then drew the black lightning into it.

There was no time to pull in more people; Xia Pingzhou had to close the chessboard before Gu Qiye could resist. Thus, in an instant, the ring swallowed the three figures, then quickly shrank into a black and white point of light, sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting, then dissipating.

In everyone's view, Xia Pingzhou, Ayase Origami, and Gu Qiye's figures simultaneously vanished from their original location, entering the chessboard domain dominated by the chess player.

Almost a moment later, Ayase Origami's body would have been torn apart by the lightning, and Xia Pingzhou would not have had time to release the King, resulting in his slaughter. But he managed to do it.

Meanwhile, the Train Demon roared, flipping bricks and tiles of the port ground like a bulldozer, soaring through the air;

The colossal teaching ruler plummeted from the sky, surging with momentum like the mythical sword of Damocles.

The two advanced in a pincer movement, irresistibly crashing toward the members of the White Crow Travel Brigade!
