Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 238

The other side.

In the grotto.

The biochemical doppelganger suddenly stood up and said,

“A monster with a comprehensive combat power reaching the fourth level of the Dharma Realm is climbing up from below the cliff. I must go and deal with it.”

Xiao Mengyu looked at the robot with a complicated expression, thought for a moment, and said,

“Do you have any other instructions? I’ll relay them to Shen Ye.”

“Of course.”

The biochemical doppelganger walked up to her, took out a chip from its chest, and handed it to her.

“What is this?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“This is my archive, which is the real me.”

“The real you? Then who am I talking to now?”

“The one controlling the body now is a combat subprogram I wrote—please hand the archive to Shen Ye, so I can survive. Thank you.”

After speaking, the biochemical doppelganger turned around, accelerated, rushed out of the grotto, and plunged downwards.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

A deafening explosion suddenly came from underground.

Rolling hot waves extended upwards along the rock wall.

碎Stone fragments kept falling.

—Everything was like the end of the world.

Xiao Mengyu carefully put away the chip and looked back at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was still unconscious.

“Student Guo Yunye.” Xiao Mengyu said.

“What?” The Husky asked.

“The explosion might attract more monsters… You should escape, I’ll stay here.” Xiao Mengyu said calmly.

“How can that be!” The Husky almost jumped up.

“The monsters here are too strong, I’m afraid we’ll be wiped out.” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Let’s die together, we’re all good brothers, what’s there to be afraid of!” The Husky said, looking up and letting out a wolf howl.

*Slap.*

Xiao Mengyu slapped it.

“Quiet! Aren’t you afraid of attracting monsters!”

“Awoo…”

The Husky obediently lowered its head.

A two-meter-long bat suddenly flew in from the cave entrance, staring intently at the Husky.

It really attracted a monster!

*Swish—*

A sword light flashed.

The bat was cut in half and fell from the cave entrance, making continuous thudding sounds as it fell.

The sounds gradually faded away.

Xiao Mengyu put away her sword and said sternly,

“Husk… Student Guo Yunye, next time you speak, just say ‘good brothers’, you don’t need to say the last three words, understand?”

“Understood.” The Husky, with its ears pinned back, answered obediently.

Suddenly.

A person appeared at the cave entrance.

This was a complete stranger.

He looked middle-aged, dressed in leather armor, with a dagger hanging on each side of his waist. He squatted at the cave entrance, his gaze scanning the grotto.

“So it’s just a few little mice.”

The man’s eyes were long and narrow, slightly narrowed, revealing a murderous intent.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Shen Ye was still unconscious.

The Husky’s eyes widened in confusion, wanting to see if this person was friend or foe.

Xiao Mengyu had already sensed the approach of death.

When the man’s sentence “So it’s just a few little mice” reached “So it’s just”, she understood the current situation.

The Dharma Aspect unfolded—

Seven constantly rotating stars appeared behind Xiao Mengyu, with the last one bursting forth with brilliant light.

That was Yaoguang, one of the Seven Stars.

The power of the Yaoguang star, when bestowed upon a sword move, immediately became Xiao Mengyu’s full-force sword technique.

—Seven Star Sword Palace · Luo River Calms the Sky Wind!

Xiao Mengyu held Shen Ye motionless, but the Luo River Sword at her waist flew out with a *clang*.

At this instant.

The man had just finished saying the words “little mice.”

A cold light flashed, and the longsword was already before his eyes!

What a fast sword!

In normal combat, they would usually probe first to determine each other’s Dharma Realm level and basic attributes before deciding how to fight.

But her first move was already her strongest!

The man was startled, but he was also prepared. His entire body moved, completely turning into a liquid state.

*Woosh—*

The longsword passed through his neck and flew out of the cave.

The man, composed, crossed his arms and grinned sinisterly,

“First level of Dharma Realm? Too weak!”

“My current Dharma Aspect is at the peak of the second level of Dharma Realm. It can merge with my body and turn into an invincible flowing water body.”

“—I’ll toy with you easily!”

Xiao Mengyu hid Shen Ye behind her, drew the Remnant Snow Sword from her waist, and held it in front of her.

She held her breath, motionless.

The man placed his hands on the daggers at his waist, his body like a bow, as if ready to attack at any moment:

“Do you have no more moves? Then I—”

He didn’t finish his sentence.

The longsword that had flown out of the cave returned, piercing his back of the head and exiting through his glabella.

“Imperial Sword Technique?”

The man let the sword pierce his head, and laughed,

“Hahaha, it’s useless. I’m specialized in countering cold weapons. None of your sword techniques can break through the Dharma Aspect on my body.”

Xiao Mengyu still didn’t speak.

The man laughed a few times, then his whole body trembled, releasing rolling water vapor.

“No! Your sword—”

Before he could finish, Xiao Mengyu formed a sword incantation with one hand.

The longsword immediately spun around, cutting off the man’s entire head.

The second cold light had arrived.

Remnant Snow Sword!

The longsword pierced the man’s body, and the powerful impact carried the headless body, sending it flying out of the cave opening and plummeting down into the bottomless abyss below.

Only then did Xiao Mengyu speak:

“Even if you have a liquid body, your body has already fallen, and you only have a head here.”

“Body and head separated, moving further and further apart, unable to be pieced back together—and you still don’t die?”

The man grew anxious.

“No, my body—”

The head sprang up, immediately trying to roll out of the cave.

*Thud!*

A soft sound.

wωw◆тt kΛn◆c ○

The Luo River Sword impaled the head on the rock wall.

No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free from the Luo River Sword.

—After all, he had no hands, no feet, and no body now.

What could a mere head do?

“What kind of sword is this! Why can it hold me!”

The man was furious and shocked.

Xiao Mengyu slowly said:

“You’re talking about the Luo River Sword, it possesses the power of ‘invisibility’, you can’t perceive it;”

“And any living creature struck by it will be immobilized by the ‘shaking spirit’—”

“You were so overconfident with your liquid body that you didn’t even consider that I might have a divine artifact in my hand?”

The man yelled, “Who the hell would know a high school student would have a divine artifact!”

He struggled violently, but could only remain pinned to the wall, trembling uncontrollably.

Completely unable to escape.

After a few more breaths.

He stopped moving.

His entire head gradually solidified, and bright red blood flowed out.

—He died.

A streak of light flew back from outside the cave.

It was the Remnant Snow Sword.

The twin swords moved simultaneously, *clang, clang*, flying back into their scabbards.

The head rolled off the rock wall and down the cave entrance, quickly disappearing from sight.

Xiao Mengyu let out a long sigh of relief.

She took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead and took out a pill.

“Here.”

She offered a pill to the Husky.

The Husky shook its head, ashamed, and said, “I didn’t help at all just now, I didn’t even know I should attack immediately.”

“His murderous intent was incredibly strong, directed entirely at us—he looked down on us completely, so he didn’t hide it at all,” Xiao Mengyu explained.

“What is murderous intent?”

“…You’ll understand after you fight for a while longer.”

The two were talking.

Sounds came from the rock wall outside.

People?

Or monsters?

Xiao Mengyu gently placed Shen Ye on the ground, stood up, and softly said:

“Student Guo Yunye, you can start digging this grotto now, try to dig deeper, and then take Student Shen Ye in to hide him.”

“What about you?” the Husky asked.

Xiao Mengyu walked to a spot two meters from the cave entrance, pressed her hand to her sword, and said,

“I’ll fight.”

The Husky looked at the unconscious Shen Ye, then at Xiao Mengyu, and gritted its teeth.

Damn it.

When can I become like her, fighting against people!

It silently turned around, started digging at the wall from a corner, and soon dug out a large hole.

Xiao Mengyu, on the other hand, stood at the entrance of the cave, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Suddenly, two figures dangling from ropes appeared in the void outside the cave.

A man and a woman.

“Oh, that idiot scout got killed,” the boy said.

“Getting into trouble scouting. These professionals from society haven’t received proper education, they’re truly useless,” the girl said.

Both looked at Xiao Mengyu.

Xiao Mengyu was also observing them and asked,

“Are you seniors from Garan High School? Or Guixu High School?”

“Garan.” The boy said.

“I heard that only first-year students are still in Guixu High School, so you must be a first-year, right? We’re third-years,” the girl chuckled.

In the darkness above the cliff.

Yun Ni squatted there, looking down with an indifferent expression.

Should I make a move?

I have no obligation to care for anyone other than Shen Ye.

Chaos Spirit Light didn’t ask.

Xu Xingke didn’t say anything either.

So—

It would be better if the girl next to Shen Ye died.

That way, perhaps she could slowly win him over with her long-term protection, so he would no longer want to kill her.

So, I won’t intervene.

Yun Ni leaned back, concealed in the darkness, quietly waiting for the battle to end.

In the battlefield below.

Xiao Mengyu held her sword with both hands and said,

“Third year… that means you’ve reached the second level of the Dharma Realm and are currently advancing towards the third level.”

“In the past, I definitely couldn’t beat you.”

A fiery sun projection rose from behind her.

Within this fierce sun, a crescent moon also shone, emitting light alongside the sun.

Luo Fu Sun and Moon Shield!

When the Skinner first saw this move, he immediately became cautious, even saying, “Fortunately, that divine sword is not in your hands, otherwise I would have no choice but to turn and flee.”

But—

“It’s useless.”

The boy sneered, and countless illusory flying daggers gradually appeared behind him.

A third eye also appeared above the girl’s head.

—They had unveiled their Dharma Aspects!

“Our Dharma Aspects are at the second realm, we can easily break your attacks,” the girl said.

The eye above her head moved.

*Clatter!*

Countless iron chains suddenly emerged from the void around Xiao Mengyu, binding her with all their might.

Seize this moment!

The boy grinned:

“Pierce all her flesh and blood.”

Innumerable flying daggers pierced through the sky, densely stabbing into the cave.

A moment of life and death!

Xiao Mengyu drew out her twin swords, Remnant Snow and Luo River, holding Luo River in her right hand with a regular grip, and Remnant Snow in her left with a reverse grip.

She held her breath, her eyes slightly widened, all her strength and will gathered together.

Wind.

Slightly moved.

Blowing her long hair.

Behind her, in the sun and moon, seven stars descended from the sky, shielding them.

Dharma Aspect · Seven Star Sword Palace!

With the infusion of the Dharma Aspect, the sun, moon, and stars finally converged.

The sword, the spirit of Luo River, reflected on Remnant Snow.

This move was finally complete.

—Ancient Sword Style · Cosmic Edge.

The twin swords moved, cleaving through the void.

In an instant.

All the iron chains and flying daggers were bounced away by an invisible force.

The surroundings turned dark.

Countless stars bloomed in the endless darkness.

“Cut.”

The girl uttered a single word.

The wind—

Suddenly became turbulent, stirring the stars, releasing streaks of flickering starlight in the dark universe.

Meteors.

It was a meteor shower of extreme speed.

But unlike a meteor shower, the rapidly fleeting streaks of starlight did not have a unified direction.

They permeated the void, front, back, left, right, up, down, intertwining with each other, carving out dazzling streams of light that constantly appeared and disappeared.
