Chen Yu suddenly increased his height again, and after surveying the entire maze, he still couldn't see Qing Chen's figure!
It's gone, really gone!
Qing Chen just disappeared, right under his nose!
It was as if a magical magician, dressed in a black tuxedo, performed an unsolvable magic trick on stage, right under the noses of the audience!
The water god Gonggong landed first, and this time even Chen Yu rode his green ox down, looking at the long, green maze-like corridor with surprise and uncertainty.
The empty corridor was like the gaping maw of a monster, swallowing Qing Chen whole!
A new Chen Chuanzhi appeared behind Chen Yu: "He's already gone out. You've also taken someone else's prayer plaque. Give it a try."
This time, Chen Yu did not refute. He jumped off the ox's back, took out the blessing plaque from his satchel, and threw it out.
The prayer plaque, like Qingchen, disappeared into the boundary between light and shadow.
Chen Yu frowned. This time, he controlled a water god, Gonggong, to enter...
"This is bad!" Chen Yu roared inwardly!
After the water god Gonggong crossed that area of light and shadow, what he saw was not the outside world, but still the labyrinth!
Gonggong's foot struck the overturned kayak on the ground!
In an instant, the kayak suddenly opened, revealing the young demigod trapped underneath with a cold expression.
God cut!
Qing Chen vanished from the spot, his figure brushing past Gonggong as the black blade he held in reverse slashed across the other's neck.
The next instant, Qing Chen returned to the light and shadow and stood in front of Chen Yu!
In fact, he had no idea how to leave this place, or rather, he had no intention of leaving at all!
He simply performed a magic trick for Chen Yu:
As Qing Chen pondered on the roller coaster, his image as a man with a powerful mind had become deeply ingrained in people's minds over the years.
So when he started running back, Chen Yu subconsciously felt that he had found a way!
But Qingchen didn't return to leave; instead, he placed the kayak where he was going to hide... This kayak wasn't just left lying around.
It looked as if the sea of fire had engulfed the shadow, but this was actually the location Qing Chen had chosen, the location he found from 18,000 possible paths!
After he threw the blessing card through the light and shadow, neither he nor the card left the maze; instead, they both huddled together in the abandoned kayak.
But from the sky, Chen Yu would never have imagined that the place where he personally killed Shadow and fell into the kayak was hiding a secret.
This is the true essence of magic: to show the audience what you want them to see, to make use of everything available, and to put on a spectacular show!
But Chen Yu wasn't stupid. When the water god Gonggong crashed into the kayak after passing through the light and shadow, he understood the key to this magic trick!
This ordinary kayak became a key prop in the magic trick!
But he only realized it now, and it was too late.
This performance had only one purpose: to lure Chen Yu away.
How could Qing Chen possibly leave without defeating Chen Yu?!
This is the person Qing Zhun wanted to kill but failed to kill; Qing Chen will definitely kill him!
At this moment, Qing Chen had already killed Gonggong, the water god. His figure passed through layers of light and shadow and returned to Chen Yu's side!
Chen Yu hastily retreated, and the green ox beside him fiercely charged towards Qing Chen. The remaining two water gods, Gonggong, also unleashed a torrent of Weak Water.
God cut!
The dazzling light has returned!
Qing Chen, wielding a black blade, crossed the Weak Water and passed the Green Ox, arriving once again before Chen Yu!
No matter how Chen Yu retreated, he seemed unable to escape Qing Chen's speed!
Faced with absolute speed, all power and schemes vanish into thin air!
The jade ring on Chen Yu's finger transformed into a verdant, honeycomb-shaped barrier, blocking Qing Chen's path.
Another divine cut!
Qing Chen's figure once again passed through the barrier in the form of light, as if there was nothing in this world that could stop him, not even forbidden objects!
Qingchen kept these three divine cuts all along, precisely to break through all obstacles for this moment!
Once a thought is conceived, nothing can stand in its way!
This is absolute speed!
Chen Yu was truly panicked this time. He reached out and grasped something, as if trying to draw some kind of power from nothingness, just like Qing Chen drew a black knife from nothingness.
However, the moment he looked up at Qing Chen, he found that the boy's face had suddenly changed.
It wasn't Li Shutong.
It wasn't Chen Chuanzhi either.
It was Kyung Joon!
This is Chen Yu's greatest inner demon!
It was something so obsessive that even when his mind was corrupted, he dared not face it!
Looking at the other person's face, Chen Yu felt as if he had returned to that night outside the Forbidden Land No. 002.
He saw that deity again, who had been there for a quarter of an hour!
"Chen Yu, I am an insurmountable mountain in your life. From this day forward, you will feel fear whenever you think of me. Your path of cultivation ends today!"
Chen Yu even heard the person whisper in front of him, "Time."
The other party simply said it, and time truly stood still.
Chen Yu saw his younger self just coming out of the Chen Family School and called out to his friend, "Where shall we go to play?"
But then he saw his friend's eyes darting away: "I'm not playing anymore, I have to go home early."
Chen Yu asked in confusion, "Did something happen to you?"
After stammering for a while, my friend said, "Ancestor Chen Chuanzhi told my father that if I continue to be playful and delay your cultivation, he will sever our family trust and expel us from the Chen family."
Chen Yu stood there, stunned, silently watching his friend walk away quickly.
He returned to his own courtyard and said to Chen Chuanzhi, "Father, I don't want to practice cultivation anymore."
Chen Chuanzhi glanced at him, then looked at the steward, Xu Bo, and said, "Go and bring that woman here."
Soon, a middle-aged woman was brought over, and Chen Yu was taken aback: "Wet nurse."
But Chen Chuanzhi said coldly, "Kneel down."
Chen Yu's wet nurse knelt on the ground. Chen Chuanzhi broke off a tree branch from the yard and whipped the wet nurse repeatedly. No matter how much pain she was in, the wet nurse dared not cry out.
Chen Yu said in a low voice, "Stop fighting, I'm going back to my room to cultivate."
After a while, Uncle Xu followed him into the room and said in a low voice, "Young master, the master is doing this for your own good... I will send medicine to the wet nurse. Don't worry, she will be fine."
Chen Yu hummed in agreement.
Uncle Xu then asked, "Master said your birthday is next month, do you have any wishes?"
Chen Yu gazed at the withered tree outside the window: "I only wish that I will not be born into the Chen family in my next life."
At this moment, Chen Yu, inside the maze, watched as all the illusory lights and shadows dissipated, and he realized that this was the revolving lantern before his death.
Qing Chen had already arrived in front of him.
His gaze towards the boy was clean and clear, just like his own in the past.
Just as Chen Yu opened his eyes wide in bewilderment, Qing Chen brushed past him...
But Qingchen didn't kill him. Chen Yu felt as if some cold silk thread was wrapped around his hand, and he lost control of his body.
Chapter 934, Harvest
4 a.m., inside the Chen Family Manor.
Da Yu was sitting in the courtyard waiting.
Judging from the timeline, Qing Chen should still be fighting Chen Yu. This is a battle between demigods, and without accurate information, no one can be sure who will win.
"I wonder if he won or not," Da Yu said.
Zard: "Trust the boss!"
Da Yu pondered for a moment: "No, we can't just wait here. Even if he loses and dies, we still have things to do. Come with me, I need to take stock of the forces that the Chen family can currently gather. Let's start with the painters. I need to know how many painters the Chen family employs and how many can be used by me."
They left the manor under cover of night and went straight to the gate of the courtyard where Chen Yu was.
Zard whispered, "These two stone lions are quite nice. How about we move them to Whale Island to guard the War Academy? The boss already gave me two forbidden items, and I haven't even reciprocated!"
Da Yu: "What the hell is this about returning a gift? He doesn't need you to return a gift at all!"
Zard walked towards the stone lion: "You don't understand. The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions!"
Da Yu: "...Hey, it will attack you automatically!"
However, the scene that Da Yu had anticipated did not occur; the two stone lions remained completely still.
He stood there, stunned: "These two stone lions only recognize fate. Now they think Chen Yu is no longer worth following. Chen Yu is either dead or defeated!"
Forbidden item ACE-052, the guardian stone lions, they kill any creature that maliciously approaches the mansion, two stone lions can fight A-level enemies.
However, the most crucial condition for their acceptance is that they actively seek a master. If you are their master, and you and another person with greater fortune are present at the same time, they will abandon their original master without hesitation.
Therefore, the stone lion had already abandoned Chen Yu!
For hundreds of years, the Chen family demigod has been one of the most fortunate figures in the world, and the stone lion has never changed hands!
At this moment, Zard reached out to hug the stone lions, only to see his body suddenly swell up, managing to enclose both stone lions within his own body...
Da Yu: "..."
Zard turned around with a憨厚 smile and said, "Impressive, right?"
