Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 688

Chapter 671: C and D

Shen Ye glanced at Zhao Ge first.

—You’re an A-class, how did you get beaten?

Zhao Ge, looking a bit aggrieved, transmitted,

“I announced the name of the ‘Slaughter Squad,’ but he didn’t even listen and just started fighting.”

Shen Ye had a headache.

This guy.

Just joined the Slaughter Squad and already wants to throw the organization’s weight around?

This bad practice must not continue!

“Our organization is a secret one. It’s normal for rookies not to have heard of it. You can’t just drop your guard the moment you meet someone new.”

Shen Ye transmitted.

“Understood,” Zhao Ge replied.

While they were transmitting, the man in golden armor opposite them had already drawn a battle-axe.

He asked,

“Don’t you know about that hole in your area?”

“Indeed, we do not,” Shen Ye said.

“If you don’t know, then gather everyone else, and I’ll ask them one by one,” the other party said.

“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Shen Ye continued. “This is our territory, after all. We call the shots here, not you.”

The Golden Armored Man was a bit surprised.

He scanned the three people, seeing that the bruised and battered man with the buzz cut and the old woman holding a crystal cup were silent.

So this young man is the leader of District D?

The buzz cut guy’s strength was ordinary.

But that old woman, though, radiated an unsettling aura, seemingly a formidable opponent.

“Old woman, I see your strength is good. Do you also listen to him?”

The Golden Armored Man asked.

“I’m old and useless; it’s a world for young people now,” Granny Cai sighed.

This was an implicit acknowledgment of Shen Ye’s leadership.

The Golden Armored Man looked at Shen Ye again and advised,

“District D only. Don’t be so arrogant; you still have a chance to live.”

“You’re ordering us to do things, and we’re just refusing. Is that considered arrogant?” Shen Ye asked.

The Golden Armored Man said, “For your own good, you should listen—”

“Get lost,” Shen Ye interrupted him directly.

The Golden Armored Man said no more, holding his axe with one hand and forming a hand seal with the other.

Rumble—

Boundless law power surged across the scene.

He activated his Dharma Idol directly!

Was he going to resort to battle without a word?

A giant axe phantom appeared behind the Golden Armored Man, immediately exuding immense power upon its manifestation.

Tiny glowing text instantly appeared:

“Dharma Idol: Soul-Reaping Blood Axe.”

“Description: Under the blessing of this Dharma Idol, you are temporarily in an ‘invincible’ state. Weapon-type attack power is increased by 350%, and attacks are guaranteed to hit the enemy; the above blessings disappear after one attack.”

Zhao Ge took a step back.

Granny Cai also chanted a spell.

Shen Ye raised his blade to guard himself.

Seeing this, the Golden Armored Man laughed loudly:

“Hahaha, why aren’t you arrogant now? It seems you know anyone who steps up will die!”

“This is a lethal bizarre shadow,” Granny Cai said coldly. “We’re not stupid enough to fight you head-on.”

“Exactly,” Zhao Ge said.

Before they finished speaking, Shen Ye moved.

Shen Ye stepped onto the railing, leaped lightly, and pounced toward the Golden Armored Man.

“Hey, don’t court death!”

Zhao Ge shouted urgently.

—If this person died, where would he get iced orange juice from?

Granny Cai’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly transmitted:

“After he’s hit, you go left, I go right, and we attack separately with full force.”

Zhao Ge was stunned.

Attacking separately was indeed a good strategy, but—

Wouldn’t that young man from the Slaughter Squad die then?

Had Granny Cai sacrificed him?

Or rather, had he completely misjudged the situation?

Zhao Ge gritted his teeth, his figure flashing, drawing an arc in the void as he charged towards the Golden Armored Man’s left side.

—No matter what, he trusted Granny Cai’s judgment.

He saw Granny Cai summon a shadowy figure, chanting a spell, and instantly releasing it, pouncing towards the Golden Armored Man’s right side.

The Golden Armored Man’s entire body emitted fine golden light, and he was in an “invincible” state.

His heavy axe radiated a fierce波动, causing the surrounding void to crack.

—This strike was definitely going to take a life!

He stared at Shen Ye, who was constantly approaching, and sneered,

“Quite gutsy, but you’ll be cut in half by my axe soon.”

Shen Ye was expressionless, drawing the Nethergale Blade, and shaking his whole body, he crashed into the Golden Armored Man like a meteor.

The two sides engaged!

“Go to hell.”

The Golden Armored Man roared, his heavy axe striking like lightning towards Shen Ye’s neck.

Shen Ye didn’t block it at all, his long blade sweeping out a snowy line.

—Blade Technique: Subduing Demons!

Life and death were decided!

Shen Ye’s figure moved slightly to the side, and the Golden Armored Man’s heavy axe struck the junction of his shoulder and neck, leaving a bloodstain.

—The moment the heavy axe hit, the Golden Armored Man seemed to be grasped by something and retreated rapidly.

He merged into the void, seemingly about to teleport away instantly—

“Hahaha, did you really think I’d fight to the death? My teammates are already ready to assist me!”

The Golden Armored Man laughed a few times, but then suddenly stopped.

Because Shen Ye, after taking his slash, acted as if nothing had happened.

The wound healed quickly.

“Impossible…”

The Golden Armored Man mumbled, his figure already gone into the void.

In the void where he disappeared—

Blood flashed.

A head was left behind, rolling on the ground.

It was the Golden Armored Man.

His face was still filled with an expression of disbelief.

District C.

The Golden Armored Man’s headless body rolled to the ground.

Several professionals were startled.

“Captain, come quickly!”

Someone shouted.

A moment later.

A voice echoed from afar:

“No need to look, that’s a B-rank blade technique, but it was wielded at just the right time, and it’s an endless blade technique that can traverse space and time, so it caught up to him.”

“—It seems there are capable people in District D.”

Everyone silently looked at the corpse on the ground, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

On the other side.

District D.

Shen Ye lowered his eyes to look at the Blood Ox Ring.

—Lost a trace of blood.

The life force stored in this ring was formed when the Lord of Distortion attacked his Dharma Idol.

In other words.

The battle just now was actually a clash between the Lord of Distortion and the Golden Armored Man.

The difference was, one’s attack power was converted into life force.

The other was a pure attack.

The difference in superiority was clear.

So the Lord of Distortion was still more powerful!

Shen Ye sighed and looked at Granny Cai.

The old woman squatted on the ground, fiddled with the head, and said,

“Fate blade technique?”

“Yes, an ill-fated one—he couldn’t escape,” Shen Ye said.

“Your neck is really tough,” Zhao Ge stared at Shen Ye’s neck, trying to find the wound, but couldn’t find it at all.

“Give me the head,” Shen Ye said.

Granny Cai handed the head over.

Shen Ye took the head and asked:

“Tell me, what organization are you from, and what do you want to do?”

—Shadow Whisper activated!

The head’s eyes opened, looking at Shen Ye, and seeing him completely unharmed, it couldn’t help but show despair.

Under the effect of the spell, it had to answer:

“I am a member of the Mountain Sea Association. I was ordered to investigate that hole and take control of District D along the way.”

Mountain Sea Association…

Sounds very impressive, stronger than my Slaughter Squad.

Tsk.

Unpleasant.

“How did you get into District D?” Shen Ye asked.

“Through the passage between District D and District C.”

“Huh?”

Shen Ye looked at Zhao Ge and Granny Cai.

“It’s the ship’s passage. It costs fifty kilograms of gold each time it opens, very expensive,” Zhao Ge explained.

Shen Ye shook his head helplessly.

No choice. The ship itself was indestructible.

God insisted on earning this toll, and there was nothing they could do.

“Is there a way to contact your team’s higher-ups?” Shen Ye asked.

“My earring can connect to the team’s communication channel and speak within it.”

“How do you activate it?”

“Press the bottom of the earring.”

Shen Ye activated the earring as instructed and immediately felt a faint magical fluctuation emanating from it.

—This thing actually seems usable.

“You can start talking now.”

The head said.

Shen Ye cleared his throat and spoke:

“Greetings, members of the Mountain Sea Association.”

“This is District D.”

A cacophony of sounds came from the earring.

After a while.

All sounds quieted down.

Only a rough male voice spoke:

“The leader of District D? We were going to make you slaves, but who knew you wanted to die.”

Seek death?

This was tantamount to declaring war.

“I’m not exactly the leader, just in charge of some arrangements—you seem to have quite a temper,” Shen Ye chuckled.

“You killed our people, blood must be paid with blood,” the other side said.

A grudge had been formed.

No need for other thoughts.

“If you still intend to enslave us, I will continue to kill you until none are left,” Shen Ye said.

“Just you?” The other side burst into laughter.

“Not just me, but our Slaughter Squad,” Shen Ye said.

“Squad? How many people? So audacious. I remember you have an old wise woman and a street rascal—”

The voice in the earring was full of disdain.

This made Zhao Ge anxious.

He furiously shouted:

“You bastards, get it straight, we have two S-rank powerhouses, how many do you have?”

All sounds from the earring instantly vanished.

Shen Ye glanced at Zhao Ge in surprise.

Zhao Ge furiously said:

“Brother Shen, we clearly have the strength, why should they look down on us?”

“If they keep looking down on us, we’ll wipe them out!”

“Alright, don’t say anything else, I’ll continue to communicate with them,” Shen Ye said calmly.

He continued speaking into the earring:

“Mountain Sea Association, right.”

“If you’re not convinced and still intend to meddle in our District D affairs, how about we find a place for a match.”

“Decide the outcome by life and death.”

After waiting several breaths.

The voice from the earring sounded again:

“Our target is that hole.”

The tone had changed!

The topic had also shifted.

Shen Ye generally understood the other party’s motives.

—The Mountain Sea Association probably didn’t have more than two S-rank powerhouses.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have changed the subject now.

Shen Ye’s thoughts flickered, and he suddenly spoke:

“That hole, we won’t interfere with it—as long as you don’t provoke us, we won’t bother with you either.”

This was an act of goodwill.

Would the other party take the bait?

Shen Ye’s eyes were cold, and his hand had already formed a hand seal.

Dharma Idol descends—

Jailer’s Cage: Soul-Eating Puppet!

Parasite Empress Su Su quietly appeared behind Shen Ye, her arms wrapped around his neck, playfully stroking his earlobe.

“Of course, we’re going to explore that hole, and your staying out of the way is the best option.”

The voice from the earring said.

Shen Ye’s gaze sharpened.

“Hehe!” Su Su laughed.

It worked!

The other party accepted the goodwill!

But the next moment.

Another voice suddenly sounded from the earring:

“Don’t fall for it!”

“The other party has an unknown bizarre shadow that is extracting all information from us here!”

“—Cut it off for me!”

Invisible magical ripples spread.

The earring turned gray.

It seemed temporarily unusable.

A line of glowing text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“The other party has disconnected from your Dharma Idol and is leaving the goodwill rule you constructed.”

Is this not working?

Shen Ye looked back at Su Su.

Su Su pouted and whispered, “Nothing is that easy in the world, especially when it comes to a girl’s feelings.”

Tiny glowing text quickly appeared:

“The target accepted the goodwill, but chose to break off the relationship, which will lead to punishment—”

“The target will receive a Heart-Eating Judgment.”

“Please wait.”

He needed to wait.

Shen Ye simply let go of the earring, stood up, and walked over to Zhao Ge.

“Is the orange juice good?”

“Good to drink.”

Poof.

The long blade flashed, striking three times before Zhao Ge could react.

—Biting chill, flowers blooming, picking up spring breeze!

Zhao Ge was restrained by the surging power of the law, but his body was split into several pieces.

“Why… why…”

He asked with difficulty.

“Why kill him!” Granny Cai also shouted, her eyes filled with tension.

She and Zhao Ge had just joined the Slaughter Squad.

And then he killed Zhao Ge!

“It’s simple,” Shen Ye chuckled. “He exposed the strength of our Slaughter Squad to the enemy. I suspect he was one of them, so I killed him first.”

—That made sense.

In a battle, you reveal your team’s strength to the enemy right away.

As an A-class powerhouse, is he that reckless?

Recklessness isn’t an excuse!

“What if he wasn’t?”

Granny Cai asked.

“I have revival magic,” Shen Ye said.

He raised his blade and gently cut off Zhao Ge’s head, placing it next to the Golden Armored Man’s head.

The moment of truth arrived.

“Did you two know each other before?”

Shen Ye asked.

—Shadow Whisper activated!

The two heads trembled but could not resist this ultimate necromancy spell, and spoke in unison:

“Yes.”

Shen Ye glanced at Granny Cai.

Granny Cai’s face darkened, and she articulated:

“Zhao Ge, when did you defect to District C?”

Her question, of course, would not be answered by the head.

But Shen Ye repeated it.

The head had no choice but to reply:

“A long time ago.”

Shen Ye looked at Granny Cai.

He held out his hand, revealing the light of the resurrection spell:

“Should I resurrect him?”

Granny Cai closed her eyes and sighed wearily.

—In fact, she should thank this young man.

Otherwise—

The next time the Mountain Sea Association attacked, it would be her who died.

“Never mind,” Granny Cai said.

Shen Ye smiled and withdrew his hand.

The old woman’s attitude was very important. Now that she had clearly sided with him and showed no pity for a traitor like Zhao Ge—

He would dare to trust her in the future.

At that moment, a thin line of glowing text quietly appeared:

“Judgment complete.”

“The other party accepted goodwill but severed the relationship, and will receive punishment.”

“The other party will directly expose a weakness.”
