Yama Reborn-Chapter 490 - 487: [The Teacher’s Command]
Chapter Four Hundred Eighty-Seven: The Mister’s Order
"Gomez! Come help, dammit!!"
Chen Nuo clearly saw the Son of the Sun arriving. Yet, he helplessly watched as this old guy stopped mid-air in the distance, making no move to approach. Therefore, Chen Nuo couldn’t help but let out an anxious roar.
In his arms, Yun Yin was still struggling fiercely. Although one arm was pinned by him, the other kept slapping Chen Nuo’s back.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! It was like the beating of a drum!
Chen Nuo felt like his skeleton was about to fall apart from the pounding, and he even started coughing up blood!
"You old fart! Hurry up and help... Fuck! Shit!!"
Chen Nuo yelled again, but this time, after only getting halfway through his call for help, he couldn’t help but burst into profanity!
That’s because, right before his eyes, the Son of the Sun, that old bastard, gave him the middle finger from afar!
And then... that son of a bitch! He actually turned tail and ran away!!!
His figure, like the wind, flew farther and farther away...
"Shit! You treacherous old bastard!!"
Chen Nuo cursed loudly, and finally released his grip on Yun Yin’s arm—he truly couldn’t take any more beating.
Once Yun Yin broke free, her body quickly retreated dozens of meters!
Chen Nuo stood on the spot, coughing and gasping for breath, then violently spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva.
Damn, I’m going to fail again.
In a one-on-one situation, unless Chen Nuo could bring himself to inflict a heavy blow to gravely injure Yun Yin, there was no other way he could capture her.
Without a gap in their abilities, one Controller capturing another alive was basically a fool’s dream, even if they had the upper hand in strength.
While burning with annoyance in his heart, Chen Nuo suddenly paused.
After Yun Yin got free and retreated dozens of meters, she gave Chen Nuo a fierce glare, then turned her head, and her figure sped off into the distance...
Uh... But... Her direction of escape seemed to be the same as that old bastard’s?
The Son of the Sun felt he was utterly brilliant tonight!
Luckily I had the presence of mind not to fall for the trap set by this pair of dogs!
This was clearly a snare specifically aimed at me, Lord Son of the Sun!
The Son of the Sun fled faster and faster, quickly leaving the battle zone behind.
Then, he turned his head...
The old geezer nearly fell out of the sky!
That crazy woman was chasing him like a straight arrow, flying through the air right behind him!
"Fuck! Trying to pursue to the bitter end, huh?!!"
The Son of the Sun yelled angrily, not wanting to entangle with her—being one against two put him at a disadvantage; it was too much of a loss to fight.
The old man sped up, just trying to get away, but as he desperately accelerated, the woman behind him kept speeding up as well!!
"What grudge do you have? Did I burn down your house or kill your dear father?!"
The Son of the Sun was furious!
I have a temper, too, okay?!
I’m a legendary Controller, don’t I deserve some respect?!
Chasing! Still chasing! You dare chase me again?!
"Fuck!"
Finally, the old man roared. His figure instantly reversed direction mid-air, turning sharply and swooping back. He yelled, and a torrent of Flame Qi rushed and swept across, aimed directly at Yun Yin!
Yun Yin’s face was filled with murderous intent. Just as the Flame Qi was about to reach her, Yun Yin suddenly vanished with a flash, teleporting away from her original spot!
The roaring Flame Qi passed through where she had just stood, hitting nothing but air.
In the next instant, Yun Yin appeared right in front of the Son of the Sun!
Although this move was powerful, the old man had already clashed with Yun Yin several times tonight and was prepared for her Instantaneous Movement ability. As soon as Yun Yin flashed in front of him, the Son of the Sun reacted incredibly quickly, throwing a straight punch at her.
Yun Yin blocked with one hand, but the Son of the Sun managed to grab her wrist in a fluid motion and, with a Dali, flung her entire body away!
His other hand opened, and a ball of Flame Qi smashed towards her!
Yun Yin, having lost her balance, was a tad slower to react this time. By the time she teleported again, the Flame Qi had already blasted her body!
Flashing to another location, Yun Yin sustained significant injuries. Half of her shoulder was already drenched in blood, her eyes full of rage and killing intent. After taking a deep breath, she quickly began healing her wounds, and then...
Suddenly, she reached out into the air and grabbed! A sword, seemingly condensed from killing intent, materialized in her palm!
With a sword in hand, Yun Yin struck down from above, launching a distant slash at the Son of the Sun!
The Son of the Sun, upon seeing the sword appear in her hand, instinctively felt uneasy!
That boundless killing intent, almost tangible, was especially sensitive to a Controller like him, whose spiritual power was already highly developed!
It felt as if his very Consciousness Space was exposed to her murderous aura!
The sensation was like staring directly at the sun, overwhelming to the eyes.
But the Son of the Sun, his heart full of fury, had already lost his reason!
Strike me! Let’s see if you can strike me down! Come on!!
Grinding his teeth and furrowing his brows, the Son of the Sun shuddered his hands. Streams of Flame Qi burst forth, determined to meet the madwoman’s sword head-on!
It was at that moment that Chen Nuo’s anxious voice suddenly came from behind him!
"Don’t intercept it! Dodge!!"
Turning his head, he saw Chen Nuo appear behind him, reaching out to pull him away.
The Son of the Sun angrily shouted, "Get lost!"
Just as he was about to slap Chen Nuo’s hand away, Chen Nuo, disregarding his own pain, grabbed his forearm and yanked him forcefully!
BOOM!!!!
The Killing Intent Sword’s energy erupted!
The invisible energy, as if carrying an extreme cold, permeated with malice that seemed to seep into one’s soul!
The howling energy exploded mid-air, shattering the clouds for miles around!
For a moment, in the night sky, the moon and stars, with no clouds to obscure them, appeared exceptionally clear!
Yet this clarity only made the scene seem even more eerie.
"..."
"..."
Chen Nuo, pulling the Son of the Sun, had teleported both of them several kilometers away, just as the Killing Intent burst forth.
Now, both men stood mid-air, Chen Nuo behind, the Son of the Sun in front, Chen Nuo gripping the Son of the Sun’s shoulders tightly.
The old man looked quite pitiful.
His clothes had been slashed open by countless cuts, hundreds if not thousands, and underneath the fabric, his flesh was lacerated and bleeding profusely.
Drenched in blood, it streamed down, cascading off the soles of his feet.
"I told you, you can’t block that move," Chen Nuo sighed.
The old man struggled to speak. "You, you... you..."
"What about me? If it weren’t for me just now pulling you away..."
"Asshole! You just used me as a shield by holding me in front of you!!! Otherwise, how would I have gotten such a serious injury!!"
The Son of the Sun cursed loudly, then spat out another mouthful of blood.
Chen Nuo shook his head, casually pulled out a vial of Level A Self-healing Serum from his pocket, and injected it into the old man’s body.
He injected six syringes in one go!
The old man desperately spurred his Consciousness Space, controlling his body to accelerate healing.
The wound visibly healed, but the old man also visibly weakened.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, you won’t die. It’s just weakness from losing too much blood. You control your body, speed up the blood-making process..."
"I... I... fuck..."
"Stop cursing, stop cursing, save some energy," Chen Nuo kindly carried the Son of the Sun on his back. "If you hadn’t run just now, we could have fought her together, and you wouldn’t be in this state. Don’t you think you brought this upon yourself? Why did you run before the battle?"
The Son of the Sun almost couldn’t catch his breath and glared at the back of Chen Nuo’s neck, gritting his teeth as he raised his hand, wanting to chop it down with a slap.
But just as he lifted his hand, Chen Nuo suddenly shouted fiercely, "Watch out!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the Son of the Sun from behind and held him in front!
BOOM!!
A sword energy came straight at them. The hand that the Son of the Sun was raising was completely severed by the sword energy!
The bones in the forearm twisted irregularly, and the old man screamed in agony, his hand dangling limply.
Yun Yin was already standing in front of the two men. The woman gasping softly, her complexion cold as ice, but her eyes were filled with boundless killing intent!!
"Bastard!!!!!"
The Son of the Sun held his severed arm.
"I warned you, be careful!"
"She’s attacking from the front, and you put me in front as a meat shield? You do something like that and still remind me to be careful?!"
Chen Nuo sighed. "Instinctive reaction."
Saying that, he emitted bursts of Mentality Spike, wrapping layers around the old man’s body for protection.
"You both, you dog man and woman, are in cahoots, you’re conspiring against me!"
Chen Nuo gave a wry smile. "It seems you’ve misunderstood... Never mind, it’s not clear now, but you’ve misunderstood. I really am trying to deal with this woman."
"...I don’t believe it, you guys..."
"Shut up, don’t talk for now! There’s something wrong with this woman," Chen Nuo frowned.
Yun Yin did indeed seem off.
She floated mid-air, seemingly relaxed, but the killing intent surrounding her grew more intense, swirling and densely surrounding her!
Moreover, she seemed to have a problem too. Her head hung low, panting heavily, seemingly enduring a huge burden!
Chen Nuo’s heart chilled at that moment!
He had seen this state before!
In the Qingyun Sect, there was the wife of the eldest disciple, Wu Daodao. That middle-aged woman—when she practiced the Killing Intent Sword and during their fight—was overwhelmed by killing intent, losing her sanity. That was exactly this state!
She turned into a lunatic who only knew slaughter!
Chen Nuo took a moment to feel alarmed!
Wu Daodao’s wife was only a high-level master at the Destroyer stage, and the buff from the Killing Intent Sword allowed her to temporarily attain the Controller realm in a state of lost reason. But Yun Yin... she was already a Controller! A Controller turning into an uncontrollable killing maniac... the destructive power would be beyond comparison!
"Old man, can you still fight?" Chen Nuo exhaled.
The Son of the Sun also realized that something was wrong. Putting their verbal sparring aside, he honestly said, "Right now, I can only unleash about thirty percent of my power."
"Thirty percent, huh... Then he’d just be a burden," Chen Nuo pondered for a moment and then decisively said, "Then you’d just be a burden."
"..."
"I don’t want to put you in danger. Once the fight starts, the little power you have now won’t be of any help, and you could even be at risk," Chen Nuo immediately made a decision.
The Son of the Sun’s expression changed. "Wha-what are you going to do?"
"Save your life... no need to thank me!"
With that, Chen Nuo directly grabbed the Son of the Sun and tossed him aside, then followed up with a flying kick!!
Yes, that’s right, the standard action of a goalkeeper making a Bigfoot kick in a soccer match...
"I... fuck..."
The Son of the Sun flew away in an arc through the air, accompanied by a series of angry howls, then landed far away.
Yun Yin just stood there, unmoved by whatever Chen Nuo and the Son of the Sun had said or done. She simply hung her head, her body trembling slightly as if she were struggling with herself.
It wasn’t until Chen Nuo kicked the Son of the Sun far away that the woman seemed to finally lift her eyelids. Her gaze landed on Chen Nuo—filled with pure, undiluted killing intent, devoid of any other emotional fluctuation!
Chen Nuo took a deep breath, desperately stimulating his spiritual power to heal the wounds his body had suffered from the previous battle, and gave Yun Yin a wry smile. "So... can we just talk instead of fighting?"
Yun Yin: "HUFF, HUFF, HUFF..."
Chen Nuo: "You really are my wife, and I really am your husband. I swear I’m not lying."
Yun Yin: "HUFF, HUFF, HUFF..."
Chen Nuo sighed. "If we really fight, and it gets out of control, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back... I don’t know how to explain it to you. Even though you’re my wife, I can’t let myself die here at your hands. So if you go all out, I’ll be forced to fight you with all I’ve got...
"And, if I can’t control it, I might even kill you.
"Although I don’t want to do that, I really can’t die here.
"I have to get home.
"Because... at home, there’s another you. And I have to live to see her!"
Yun Yin: "HUFF, HUFF, HUFF..."
Chen Nuo’s heart grew heavier as he could clearly feel Yun Yin’s aura of killing intent rising without end!
"Alright then, I’m sorry!"
Chen Nuo gritted his teeth and lunged into action!
The Son of the Sun was sprawled among a pile of ruins.
It was a warehouse in a farm, filled with thick straw.
The Son of the Sun’s crash had completely shattered the warehouse. The old man grunted as he crawled out of the wreckage.
Under control, his body crazily absorbed the injected Level A Self-healing Serum, accelerating the healing of his injuries.
But his blood-making ability couldn’t keep up with that pace.
The Son of the Sun, a bit dizzy and with cracked lips, coughed while pulling himself out of the warehouse and finally lay on the ground outside.
Squinting his eyes, he stared solemnly in the northwest direction!
Suddenly, the clouds in the sky began to churn!
Then, a light appeared.
Like a bolt of lightning that pierced the quiet of the night.
At first, it was a fleeting flash, and the night sky returned to pitch black.
But soon...
An astonishing scene erupted!
Massive bolts of lightning began to flash from the distant sky!
In the beginning, they came one after another, but as time went on, they became so frequent it was hard to keep up!
It seemed as if the distant sky had been set ablaze, turning into broad daylight!
Above the sky, it appeared as if the horizon had shattered, with celestial fires burning, turning that swath of sky a glowing red!
The rays of light were continuous and dense, and in the end, they were almost blindingly bright, making it impossible to look at directly!
Yet, the most eerie thing was that such an earth-shattering scene...
was utterly, deathly silent!!!
The Son of the Sun took a deep breath. Fuck... they’re really going all out! A life-or-death battle between two Controllers... I haven’t seen such a sight for many years!
That night, this strange spectacle in the sky alarmed the whole of London City!
Countless phone calls were madly made to government departments, and then the phone lines went completely dead.
Countless people hid in their homes, shivering with fear.
Just as many people ran into the streets, frantically seeking news.
And a myriad of people flocked to churches, praying in fear and trepidation for divine protection and comfort...
Although the government swiftly issued a bulletin, attempting to inform citizens that this was a rare thundercloud, a meteorological disaster...
But as for how many believed that, even the London officials who announced the message probably lacked confidence in it.
All sorts of rumors circulated in the streets.
There were even legends that the government’s military planes had flown into that airspace, and then... not a single one returned!
They were destroyed before they could get close!
And the most bizarre thing was that amateur astronomers directly used their telescopes to try and catch a glimpse of the event. But what astonished everyone was that any telescope aimed at that region of the sky couldn’t capture any image at all!
All there was within view was an intense burst of light!
「One hour and forty-seven minutes.」
The sky finally returned to silence.
When the last lightning-like streak of light tore through the sky, it ended just as abruptly as it had begun, without any warning.
After the sky plunged back into darkness, there wasn’t a hint of disturbance anymore.
In London, both officials and the public madly sent people towards that direction...
Military police, reporters, government investigators, private adventurers, astronomy enthusiasts...
Louise had not slept all night.
The wondrous event that unfolded in the distant skies above the outskirts of London had naturally startled the little girl.
Filled with trepidation, she stood at the windowsill for an hour and a half.
She wanted to find her teacher countless times.
She thought about running back to dive under the covers to hide numerous times.
Having followed Chen Nuo for over a month, apart from learning Chinese, he had not been idle. He had also tried to help Louise awaken her Consciousness Space.
Although her talent was quite ordinary, Louise, who had awakened, became much more sensitive than an ordinary person in terms of spiritual power sensing.
So, with the increased sensitivity in spiritual sensing, Louise could feel even more acutely the fear embedded within the spectacle in the sky, which she couldn’t describe.
It was the kind of terror that, after just a few more glances, made her soul tremble deeply.
More than an hour later, just as Louise was standing at the windowsill, with sweat on her forehead and back and her legs numb...
Suddenly, she keenly heard a sound.
BANG!
The sound seemed to come from another direction within the estate.
Louise’s heart shuddered. The next second, she struggled to turn around. Despite one side of her body having gone numb, she staggered out of her bedroom and ran toward another room at the end of the corridor...
That was Chen Nuo’s room!
The moment she pushed the door open, a cold draft hit her face.
In the bedroom, the balcony doors were wide open, and the night breeze was making the curtains flutter.
And Louise saw the teacher she so revered.
Chen Nuo was kneeling on the ground.
Half his body was covered in blood, his clothing torn and ragged!
The strong scent of blood, carried by the wind, filled the entire room.
What frightened Louise the most was that Chen Nuo’s left eye had become a mangled mess of flesh and blood!
He had lost an eye!
His right arm was an irregular shape, twisted like a corkscrew!
And on his body, there was a massive bloody cavity.
It was as if some force had pierced straight through him, leaving a gaping wound!
Blood was gushing out incessantly!
Louise burst into the room. Chen Nuo, who was kneeling on the ground, merely lifted his chin slightly and then, using the voice familiar to Louise, rapidly said one sentence!
"The bottom left drawer next to the desk, a silver box, bring it here, quick!"
Louise detected that Chen Nuo’s breathing was extremely erratic as he spoke. Just after finishing the sentence, he was already on the brink of collapse.
Louise hesitated for a split second, then cried out and turned to dash toward the desk.
Running barefoot, she kicked the underside of the desk, pain piercing her like a drill.
Louise looked down and saw her right big toe was soaked in blood, the nail flipped up.
The young girl bit down on her teeth fiercely, stopping herself from crying out. She frantically pulled open the drawer, retrieved the silver box the teacher had mentioned, then stumbled towards him and fell on her knees with a thud.
Chen Nuo was making an effort to keep breathing, then stretched out his unbroken hand and opened the box.
Inside lay a row of syringes, quietly.
These were top-notch Self-healing Serums bought from the Blade Knights, with a purity far surpassing the Level A serum circulating in the market.
Louise watched as Chen Nuo picked up one of the syringes and then, after flipping open the cap with his thumb, stuck it into his chest.
As the liquid medicine was pushed into his body, Chen Nuo seemed to sigh in relief.
He then immediately picked up the second one, struggling to his feet, he lunged toward a corner of the room.
It was only then that Louise realized, in the corner of the room...
There was another person!
A woman!!
Chen Nuo staggered over to the woman’s side. The woman was breathing faintly, seemingly unresponsive.
He administered the injection and pushed the medicine in.
Then he picked up the silver box again, took out another syringe...
Repeating the action, he used up all nine syringes in the box before he finally slumped against the wall.
"Sir, sir, sir..." Louise called out, her voice choked with tears.
"Don’t worry, I can’t die. It’s just I took quite a serious injury this time," Chen Nuo whispered, shaking his head.
Then, he looked at the woman by his side—Yun Yin.
"But whether she can survive, that’s up to fate," Chen Nuo said with a hint of bitterness in his tone.
Louise, using her hands and feet, crawled to Chen Nuo’s side, looking at him in panic.
The bleeding from the gaping wound on Chen Nuo’s body had already slowed down.
Chen Nuo then pointed towards the bedsheet.
Louise immediately understood. The little girl ran over to pull the sheet over, then dashed out again to find scissors, the household first-aid kit, and other such items.
Disinfectant, gauze, cotton...
Then she cut open the sheet outside and used it to dress Chen Nuo’s wound.
The little girl didn’t know how to bandage, so she could only use the scissors to help cut some things.
Chen Nuo saw the figure of Louise running back and forth busily in the room and also saw where the little girl with bare feet had run by, leaving drops of fresh blood on the ground.
"Come here, sit down."
After Chen Nuo had dressed his wound, he looked at Louise with a wry smile.
"Your foot is bleeding."
"I kicked a table just now."
"Mm," Chen Nuo thought for a moment. "The Self-healing Serum is all used up. With my severe injury, I can’t use my abilities to treat you... So you’ll have to bear with it for now. Apply some of the antiseptic from the medicine chest. In a couple of days, once I’ve recovered some strength, I will be able to heal you."
"Mm! Teacher, I’m fine, I’m not afraid of pain!" The little girl sobbed and nodded vigorously.
Chen Nuo smiled. "Why are you crying? I’ve already told you, I’m okay, I won’t die."
"Mm!"
Louise thought for a moment and wiped away her tears with determination. "Sir, where can I buy that medicine you used? I can go out and buy some more for you. I know how to shop! I can go out and look for a pharmacy!"
Chen Nuo shook his head. "That, you can’t buy at any pharmacy."
The Self-healing Serum was obtained from the Blade Knights.
Now, I don’t dare to ask the people from the Blade Knights for more.
He had a severe injury, his spiritual power was completely depleted, and his Consciousness Space was badly damaged.
By my own estimation, it will take months to fully recover this time.
My current condition, tell the Blade Knights?
In my current state, even the most ordinary Ability User could kill me!
There’s no guarantee these people wouldn’t harbor other intentions!
Thinking of this, Chen Nuo’s expression grew stern. "Louise, come here!"
Louise immediately shuffled forward a few steps.
"You must listen carefully to what I’m about to tell you!"
"Mm!"
"I know your foot hurts from the injury, but you still need to bear the pain and go downstairs, outside the mansion.
"You need to close the gate and lock it.
"Then, on the sign outside the gate, write down a line of text.
"Mm, write: ’The master is out, no visitors welcome, trespassers will be met with death!’
"Do you understand?"
"Understood! I can write these words!"
"And more!" Chen Nuo took a deep breath. "Below the line of text you write outside, draw a symbol. Here, I’ll teach you how to draw it."
As he spoke, Chen Nuo dipped his index finger in the fresh blood flowing from his wound. He then quickly drew several strokes on the floor.
The shape of an octopus!
"Just draw this! Try to copy it exactly as I’ve drawn it!"
After finishing, Chen Nuo sighed. "If someone does have ulterior motives, this symbol should scare them off. If I can just hold out for a few days and regain ten percent of my ability, then there’s nothing much to fear."
Louise nodded, then she suddenly remembered something. "Sir, are you worried that someone will come back to trouble us? Then... why don’t we leave this place and find somewhere to hide?"
Chen Nuo’s eyelids were already drooping. "That’s what I was about to tell you...
"I will soon fall into a deep sleep... don’t be afraid... It’s part of my self-healing process. But I am severely injured, and my Consciousness Space is badly damaged. I don’t know how long I will sleep...
"It could be several days.
"So, I can’t take you to find another place to live...
"And...
"The woman I brought back...
"Keep an eye on her...
"She is worse off than I am and will likely take a very long time to wake up...
"You can’t carry us, so just let us lie on the floor...
"If...
"If...
"If she shows signs of waking up before me.
"Then...
"Run!
"Don’t worry about anything, don’t worry about me!
"The moment you sense she might wake up, you must run immediately! Don’t take anything, the further you run, the better...
"Remem...ber this!"
Having said that, Chen Nuo’s head tilted, and he lay down.
Louise was startled!
She rushed over to check and found that the teacher had indeed fallen into a deep slumber.
Although his breathing was a bit weak, at least he was still breathing.
The little girl’s heart was in chaos, filled with fear, but there was one thought she clung to: the words the teacher had said!!
Bearing the pain in her toes, the girl limped downstairs. She then locked the mansion’s gate, leaving the message her teacher had tasked her with.
Then, with effort, she drew an octopus symbol.
After completing everything, Louise ran back into the room.
She did have sense after all; she thought through the teacher’s instructions carefully.
Since they had to pretend that no one was at home...
The girl did not dare to turn on the lights.
In the darkness, clutching a pillow, she stayed close to Chen Nuo.
The doors and windows were already shut. The floor was a bit cold, but the girl refused to leave, holding the pillow, her small body curled into a ball, leaning next to Chen Nuo.
Her eyes wide open, she curiously looked at her teacher, then couldn’t help but peek at the woman lying in the corner.
Driven by curiosity, Louise still couldn’t resist crawling over to the woman’s side.
Without the lights on, she couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly.
The breathing was very faint... fainter than the teacher’s.
A thought struck Louise, and she lay on the woman’s chest, listening carefully to her heartbeat.
Then, the little girl was almost scared into screaming!
Is she dead?! There’s no heartbeat!!
But fortunately, just at that moment, she finally heard a thumping sound.
Louise’s eyes widened, and it took her a long time to confirm one thing.
The woman wasn’t dead, nor had her heart stopped. Instead, this woman’s heartbeat was so, so slow! It seemed like only three or five beats per minute.
