On Zhongyu's waist incision, everything was neatly charred by electrical charge, and the nanobots were also dead in large numbers.
Nanorobots are also electronic components!
Zhong Yu's body gradually separated, and at the moment the black knife cut through, he thought of the girl from Xiuzhu Village.
"This feeling is so strange, hehe."
Although his body was destroyed, Zhong Yu was still alive. His foundation was the nanobots inside his body, not this physical form!
Countless scarlet hands materialized and enveloped Qing Chen, while he controlled the nanobots to quickly break free and escape into the sewers of Guatemala City.
Qing Chen's black blade remained impervious to the water, and he shattered the scarlet hand piece by piece.
He looked at the spot where Zhongyu had disappeared but did not pursue him.
In fact, when he used his third Divine Slash, all he needed to do was pass through Zhong Yu's body, and all those nanobots would have been wiped out, and Zhong Yu would have disappeared as well.
This demigod who relies on nanobots is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter for Qing Chen, a demigod who wields thunder. What he really wants is the entire Polar Night Organization!
At that moment, members of the Parents' Association, who had been lying in wait for an unknown period of time, came to the streets at the 12 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 3 o'clock directions in Guatemala City. They each carried a Key Door and smashed them all!
The next moment, thousands of parents suddenly appeared and launched a counter-encirclement of the Polar Night organization!
Everyone in this Polar Night organization is a true time traveler; some have even risen to the rank of baron in the Otherworld, while others hold important positions in the military.
Qing Chen not only wants to control each of the potential time travelers, but also to control all the time travelers in North America.
Now, Zhongyu and the Puppet Master have helped him bring all these people here.
Da Yu walked over to Qing Chen and said, "There shouldn't be any fish that slip through the net. None of them will escape. Boss Zheng is still busy in China hunting down Chen's time travelers. I will bring them all back to Whale Island and detain them to cooperate with your plan in the Inner World."
From the very beginning, Da Yu had never betrayed Qing Chen. He knew very well that he could not save Chen Shi and his mother by simply compromising and obeying.
Rather than being indecisive, it's better to fight to the death.
Therefore, he turned the tables and helped Qingchen attract Zhongyu and the entire Polar Night organization.
Qing Chen looked at Da Yu: "Now that the puppeteer knows you didn't betray me, your mother is in danger."
Da Yu shook his head: "In this world, not everything goes as planned. I will find a way to fight my way out, and the outcome is entirely up to fate."
Qing Chen sighed, "Making this decision was difficult, thank you."
Da Yu did not accept the thanks: "You've done what you were supposed to do, now it's my turn... By the way, now that your path as a knight is cut off, what are you going to do? You can't even walk the path to godhood anymore."
The most crucial part of this plan is that Qing Chen must let Zhong Yu and the puppeteer see him activate reverse breathing, otherwise they will absolutely refuse to make a move.
but……
Qingchen smiled wearily: "It's nothing."
Da Yu paused for a moment.
Qing Chen explained, "Forcibly opening the gene lock will prevent the opening of new gene locks in subsequent life-and-death trials. However, my senior uncle said that as long as all life-and-death trials are completed, the gene lock can be opened all at once."
Now, Qing Chen only has two life-or-death challenges left, and he must complete them in one go. So whether or not he breaks the Path of the Knight is no longer important. After completing those two life-or-death challenges, all the gene locks will be unlocked.
It's broken, but not completely broken.
Qingchen exploited a bug and fooled everyone.
"Why didn't you kill Zhongyu just now?" Dayu asked.
Qing Chen shook his head: "We can't kill him yet."
Zhong Yu cannot be killed. Li Shentan once said that if you want to remove a person from the world's will, you must replace them with another person.
Qingchen still has a use for Zhongyu.
The propellers hummed, and the two looked up at the same time. A helicopter was slowly landing. Liu Dezhu, wearing headphones and sunglasses, was in the pilot's seat and gave a thumbs up.
A suspended ladder was thrown down, and Qingchen climbed up: "Dayu, I'm leaving this to you."
Da Yu waved his hand: "Don't worry, you'll pass the life-or-death test."
As night fell, the helicopter slowly flew northwest, its destination: the Cave of Swallows in Mexico!
Guatemala borders Mexico, and it takes about 6 hours to fly there by helicopter.
...
...
Six hours later.
"Brother Chen! Brother Chen!" Liu Dezhu called out urgently while piloting the helicopter.
Qing Chen slowly opened his eyes and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He casually wiped his mouth and asked, "Have we arrived?"
"We're almost there, just 5 kilometers left," Liu Dezhu said, still shaken. "You scared me to death! I couldn't wake you up no matter how much I called you."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "I was a little overwhelmed fighting Zhong Yu just now. Zhong Yu is also a coward. If he possesses another person and comes back to kill me, I might die."
Liu Dezhu felt a little bitter; he hadn't expected Qing Chen to come to this.
He knew very well that Qing Chen was extremely weak: "Brother Chen, why don't you rest a bit more and challenge him again when you return next time?"
“No,” Qing Chen realized that once a person reaches the end of their life, they will be aware of their own time limit: “I can’t make it back next time.”
Liu Dezhu's heart tightened.
Qing Chen said with a smile, "There's also a battle in the Inner World. Xiao San found the location of the seven old monsters of the Fate Master. I can't just watch them move the old monsters to the Storm. If the Fate Master has seven more demigods, we won't be able to fight them."
The knight demigod was confident of defeating others, but the Jester's methods were too unpredictable. In a one-on-one fight, he might not be inferior to the knight. His ability to gain the upper hand was mysterious and unfathomable.
There were only Liu Dezhu and Qing Chen on the helicopter.
Liu Dezhu paused for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, we've been growing too slowly. I'm still only a B-level... I heard that Xiao Tongyun is about to cross the A-level threshold, but I have no clue how. If we were a little better, maybe you wouldn't need to work so hard."
Qingchen said, "Don't rush, there will always be an opportunity."
After a short while, Liu Dezhu said, "We've arrived. I'll increase the altitude and drive as slowly as possible."
Qing Chen shook his head: "No, the plane's speed must be maintained at 240 kilometers per hour, which is also one of the conditions for the life-or-death situation."
The knight must jump from a high-speed moving plane and then accurately locate the sinkhole to meet the requirements.
This means that if the landing point deviates even slightly, Qingchen will be far away from the sinkhole.
Liu Dezhu's palms were sweating nervously: "Understood!"
The helicopter did not slow down at all. Qing Chen put his goggles back on and sat on the edge of the cabin, waiting for the best opportunity.
He calculated the plane's speed and his own inertia, trying to find the most suitable place to jump.
But then, two fighter jets suddenly appeared in the distance, and Liu Dezhu panicked: "Brother Chen, there's an ambush! How can there be an ambush here?!"
Qing Chen said, "There aren't many locations that fit the description of a knight's life-or-death challenge. Although the enemy's strength has been greatly reduced, they only need to set up ambushes in these few places to interfere with me. You should retreat; I'll take over the helicopter."
“I’m not leaving!” Liu Dezhu said.
Qing Chen took out his satellite phone and dialed: "Break Liu Dezhu's key gate!"
In an instant, Liu Dezhu vanished into thin air!
Qing Chen had no time to calculate anything further. He sat in the pilot's seat and, relying on his simple memory, piloted the helicopter forward, crashing head-on into the two fighter jets.
As the fighter jet launched a missile, Qing Chen sighed, nimbly left the cockpit, and jumped out of the cabin!
Falling!
Falling!
Just as he stepped off the helicopter, two missiles struck it and it exploded.
A massive wave of fire swept Qing Chen away, and he drifted toward the ground, completely unconscious.
The roar of the engines and the firelight illuminated the dawn, and Mexicans in the villages near Swallow Cave came out of their homes to look at the firelight in the sky.
Could it be that drug lords and anti-narcotics police are engaged in an aerial battle?!
At this moment, Qingchen closed his eyes and continued to fall without any awareness.
The shockwave had stunned him when he was at his last gasp!
6000 meters.
5000 meters.
4000 meters.
In that brief moment, he heard someone calling his name again and again.
Qingchen felt as if he had returned to Prison No. 18, to that pitch-black midnight.
He had just broken free from the question in his mind.
Master Li Shutong stood opposite him and said softly, "Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach you. I will take you on the longest road of all the shortcuts in this world."
That's where Qingchen's life began.
The place where the story begins.
Of all the shortcuts in this world, this is the longest road he hasn't yet traveled!
Qing Chen suddenly opened his eyes!
Suddenly, he spread his arms wide, instantly stabilizing himself, face down, and slowing down!
He saw that he was at least 300 meters away from Swallow Cave. Normally, 300 meters would be a quick trip, but now it felt like an insurmountable chasm!
Qing Chen's gaze was fixed on the ground; he had only one target: the Swallow Cave sinkhole.
The last two life-or-death hurdles are actually always one and the same.
Born from the heavens, I skydive.
The earth awakens, penetrating its core.
It requires the rider to jump from an aircraft flying at a speed of no less than 240 kilometers per hour, and the parachute cannot be opened before entering the sinkhole.
The most difficult part of this challenge is that, during the fall, without the flying squirrel suit, he has to constantly adjust his direction to avoid falling directly to his death on the ground!
Moreover, the main umbrella could very well get caught on the wall of the sinkhole, causing the umbrella to get caught on the person and fall to their death.
Therefore, even something as dangerous as wingsuit flying can only be considered a prelude to these two life-or-death challenges.
Without experience in wingsuit flying, and without control over their own body and the air currents, the rider has no basis to challenge these two life-or-death challenges!
