Chapter 323: I Am... Old Six?

Chapter 323: I Am... Old Six?

"You... Luo Bufan?"

The young man looked at Luo Bufan, his face filled with disbelief.

The village head, possessed by the Sea God, also wore a look of astonishment, clearly caught off guard by the events of the day.

Luo Bufan, slumped on the ground, gazed at Chen Fan's familiar face, and for a moment, felt a sense of bewilderment.

An Qiao widened her eyes, then let out a bitter laugh, "So, the protagonist of this mission is the captain."

Previously, when communicating with Qi Yuan, An Qiao referred to the mission world as a parallel world.

This wasn't just an offhand remark; it was truly parallel.

The mission world they were in seemed like a replica of the real world, a reenactment of past events.

It was as if they had traveled back in time, returning to different timelines in history to complete their tasks.

Therefore, during their missions, they had encountered many parallel figures of historical celebrities and learned about numerous astonishing individuals who never left a trace in the annals of history due to their lack of fortune.

How vast and heavy was history, and how insignificant each small figure was in the long river of history.

"So, the captain has also experienced what Luo Bufan went through." The man in black combat attire looked at Chen Fan, a hint of caution in his eyes.

After all, Luo Bufan was a ruthless man who had enhanced his power to slay demons, even going as far as killing his entire family.

If he could kill his own kin, who else would he spare?

"The captain isn't that kind of person, I don't believe it!" An Qiao clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with complexity, "There must be a hidden reason!"

At this moment, everyone's gaze in the room fell upon Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked at Luo Bufan, his expression resolute, "I am another you, from another world.

Once, I also encountered the same situation as you.

I suffered, blamed myself, regretted, and even thought of death.

But... I eventually pulled through.

If I had died, wouldn't my parents and family have died in vain?

Luo Bufan, you must think about the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunyan County who are relying on you.

Do you want to watch as this powerful demon completely floods Yunyan County?"

Chen Fan's voice was firm, with a hint of desolation amidst the determination.

He, too, had once experienced such a situation.

But in the end, he managed to recover and seal the powerful demon.

After arriving in this world, his long-sealed memories were unlocked.

He appeared calm and carefree, but in reality, each word he spoke drained his energy, revealing the bloody past.

"Luo Bufan, today, will you join me in performing... the Luo family's secret art, the Unfading Hand!" Chen Fan shouted.

The enemy they faced today was much stronger and more cunning than the one he had encountered before.

Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, the last traces of doubt vanished from Luo Bufan's eyes.

The Unfading Hand, the secret art passed down in the Luo family, was only taught to the next generation's head.

Aside from his father, Luo Bufan was the only one in the family who knew it.

This secret art was unknown to outsiders, and other bloodlines couldn't cultivate it.

So, Chen Fan wasn't lying to him.

Luo Bufan glanced at Chen Xinlian's corpse, his eyes filled with endless self-blame and regret, but then his gaze suddenly turned resolute, "Okay!"

The Unfading Hand, true to its name, would leave the user without a trace of life after its use.

The past Luo Bufan and the present Chen Fan had both chosen the same path.

Images of his family, relatives, and fiancee, all those who had died tragically, flooded Luo Bufan's mind.

The blood he shed now was not his own, but theirs.

"Unfading Hand!"

Luo Bufan, in the Jade Blood Realm, shouted.

Chen Fan, in the Blood Qi Realm, roared.

On the beach, two terrifying figures fearlessly rushed towards the Sea God's possessed body.

Blood-red palm prints danced in the air, like falling leaves in a maple forest.

In the past, the Luo family's ancestor had created the Unfading Hand in a maple forest.

Since then, the Luo family had acquired a new secret art, but none of the later generations had used it.

Today, Luo Bufan brought this secret art to life.

His martial arts skills, beyond the Jade Blood Realm, unleashed his terrifying power.

The overwhelming might, the melancholy akin to falling leaves, even resembled the source power of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

"No!" The Sea God roared, his body unable to move in the face of the two palms.

In this moment, even his powerful physical strength seemed useless.

His most prized illusion technique became ineffective.

The two bloody palms firmly landed on his body.

Boom!

The village head's body shattered, his bones and flesh breaking apart.

This strike even affected the Sea God's soul.

"No!" The Sea God let out a painful roar.

His spirit floated in the air, his eyes filled with frustration.

"You've destroyed one of my physical forms! This is unforgivable, unforgivable!"

The Sea God was heartbroken, but more so, he was infuriated.

He had spent years planning, using illusions to lure and devour Kun Laoda, making him one of his avatars.

But now, the simultaneous attack from both had an infinite power, directly striking his soul.

He had no choice but to use the Kun Laoda avatar to block the two Unfading Hands.

Not only that, some of the other possessed bodies also exploded and were lost.

Over a hundred young and strong men from Hai Shi Village died instantly.

Even so, he suffered significant damage.

This suicidal martial skill had exhausted all his accumulated power over the years.

Especially the Kun Laoda avatar, a Jade Blood Power.

Today's events were a loss on all fronts.

"Damn it! They all must die!"

The Sea God's eyes turned red, and his anger echoed in his roar.

In the distance, the sea suddenly roiled with terrifying waves, as if a dragon were sucking up the water, causing a towering surge.

On top of the giant wave, an ugly, soft-bodied giant beast opened its three eyes, each one glowing like a lantern, representing three different martial skills.

The white iris controlled illusions.

The red iris governed offense.

The purple iris was for control.

This was Kun Laoda's true form, the so-called Spirit Blood Son.

The Spirit Blood Son was merely a deception.

After consuming Kun Laoda and turning him into a clone of itself, the Sea God spread the news of the Spirit Blood Son, plotting to devour all the demons in Yunyan County.

However, something unexpected happened, and it lost a powerful clone.

Now, it had lost one-third of its combat power.

How could it not be furious?

Its plans had failed, and it decided to no longer hide its intentions, directly implementing its scheme to flood Yunyan County.

This was the information Luo Bufen had received.

Therefore, he felt restless and sought help from the court.

Yet, even after offering ten thousand taels of silver, there was no response.

Under the Sea God's control, the waters in the sea area continued to gather, growing more intense and higher.

It seemed like the Sea God intended to flood Yunyan County.

"What do we do? The Sea God isn't dead!"

"We're doomed! It's enraged!"

"Captain!"

The three members of the Demon Suppressing Bureau rushed towards Chen Fan.

At this moment, Chen Fan's face was as pale as paper, and he looked at the distant sea, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Yunyan County... is probably finished."

In the past, he had encountered enemies stronger than the one before him.

But in the end, with the help of others, he had sealed that powerful demon.

However, today... Yunyan County...

Luo Bufen's hair was disheveled as he stared at the rising water mountain ahead, his eyes bloodshot. "I... have failed. I can't accept this..."

His closest kin had died, and the demon he wanted to eliminate the most was still alive, not even exchanged for his life.

How unbearable, how regretful, how...

Luo Bufen watched the sea, seemingly on the verge of death.

Chen Fan gasped, and what came out was blood.

An Qiao pressed on Chen Fan's shoulder, and a layer of mist appeared before her eyes. "What's happening? The mission is already complete, why can't we return?"

She wanted to go back, not just to avoid the Sea God, but also to exchange some medicine to heal Chen Fan's injuries.

She thought Chen Fan could still be saved.

Her thoughts were on Chen Fan, who had lived for hundreds of years, but she didn't know, "I should have died long ago. I can't be saved."

His heart pulse was severed, his blood essence depleted, and he was just a step away from death.

"What a pity..." Chen Fan's lips curled into a self-mocking smile, "The so-called Heaven's Prodigy in the later world seems to be useless in every world.

Even their own kin couldn't be protected."

The past events seemed to be the most painful memory in his heart.

Now, he wouldn't have to experience such pain again.

At this moment, the seawater continued to gather, and the towering waves grew in number and intensity.

The entire Yunyan County was in grave danger.

Unfortunately, not many people paid attention to this.

The Sea God sat atop the waves, its demeanor arrogant and domineering, as if it controlled everything in the world.

In the 1619th chapter, a look, no mistake!

Just then, a calm voice pierced through the roaring waves, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"As expected, in this game, I'm not the final savior protagonist.

Instead, I'm a bloodthirsty killer... who collects heads."

The King of Muri Savage Fish, Old Buddy, we meet again.

Qi Yuan appeared, looking relaxed.

It was as if he wasn't facing a terrifying giant demon but a bloodthirsty killer.

The Sea God's gaze finally fell on Qi Yuan, and its eyes flashed with surprise, followed by mockery, "A mere newcomer to the Jade Blood Realm dares to be so bold!"

Kun Laoda was a mid-stage Jade Blood Realm demon.

The combined attack of Luo Bufen and Chen Fan was so powerful that it almost rivaled a late-stage Jade Blood Realm demon.

However, the Sea God still survived.

"If you were in better condition, I might have some reservations, but now, you're just a bloodthirsty killer, looking fierce but not worth mentioning." Qi Yuan spoke with disdain.

He liked such bloodthirsty killers.

Being a bloodthirsty killer, he could collect heads.

The Sea God's mocking tone intensified, "Since Kun Feng's clone is destroyed, you... can become my clone!"

Although Kun Feng's clone was destroyed, the Sea God's combat power had decreased by one-third.

But its most prized illusion still remained.

To deal with Kun Feng and the current Qi Yuan, it needed to set up a plan.

To handle Qi Yuan, a newcomer to the Jade Blood Realm, it could simply overwhelm him with illusions.

As the Sea God spoke, the white iris turned to Qi Yuan.

Instantly, Qi Yuan felt the world go quiet.

At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, revealing a happy smile, "Do you want to listen to my heart's voice?"

The Sea God's illusion attack, at this moment, was invading Qi Yuan's mind, collecting his memories and listening to his heart's voice.

(End of Chapter)

"Alas, too weak, can't even open the door. Come on, let me help you open it."

As the saying goes, a kindred spirit is hard to find.

Just as Qi Yuan was about to open the door to let the other party hear his inner thoughts, countless chaotic, mad, and disorderly voices—swearing, muttering, and pleasure-filled—rushed into the Sea God's consciousness.

Bang! The Sea God's white pupils suddenly burst, the whites of his eyes turning into a bloody mess.

"Ahhh... You are... Ah..."

The Sea God's thoughts became somewhat frenzied.

Just then, its illusion technique broke through Qi Yuan's mental defenses, allowing it to hear Qi Yuan's inner voice.

But what exactly did it hear?

"Ah..."

The Sea God's madness intensified, its claws reaching into its own eye sockets as if to crush them completely.

"Alas, why not stay a little longer? My Divine Infants are feeling lonely. It's rare to have someone enter and keep them company." Qi Yuan's expression turned melancholy, like that of a lonely old man left behind, but soon, he revealed a smile akin to Old Six, "Now you know why I call you 'Blood Qi'?

Without Kun Boss, you... are nothing!"

The Muri Savage Fish King was most adept at illusion techniques, bewitching people's minds and creating illusions.

And Qi Yuan's greatest strength was his resistance to illusions and fearlessness.

The reason was simple; he was quick-witted and intelligent.

Moreover, he possessed eyes that could see hidden information.

Illusions couldn't deceive him.

Thus, he was the natural counter to the Muri Savage Fish King.

Without Kun Boss's protection, wasn't the Sea God just a helpless 'Blood Qi' waiting to be slaughtered?

"Someone once said that you can't cross the same river twice, nor can you eat the same fish twice.

Today, I break that person's words. I'll taste... you and the previous one, which one tastes better."

At this moment, the Jade Blood-level Explosive Bird Punch activated.

Without any flashy moves, it was just an ordinary punch.

Piercing through all illusions, it struck the Sea God's heart.

"No!" The frenzied Sea God had no power to resist.

The Divine Infants within Qi Yuan whispered like an evil god, driving the Sea God to mental chaos.

With Qi Yuan's strike, it fell straight down, its life force slowly fading.

The towering waves calmed, like fireworks in the sky fizzling out.

More than thirty drops of jade-white blood appeared in Qi Yuan's hand.

Qi Yuan's expression was perplexed.

This task was surprisingly easy, and he even got to watch a... TV drama.

His gaze fell upon Chen Fan.

At this moment, Chen Fan's organs were completely shattered, and his eyes reflected a mix of relief and lifelessness.

The mad Lo Bofan lay on the ground, his face twisted in a smile uglier than tears.

"Thank you. Dying like this... might make it easier to accept." Chen Fan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Qi Yuan and spoke softly.

His eyes had lost their color.

It seemed he no longer cared about anything in this world.

Death was a form of liberation.

At least, Yunyan County had survived.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at Chen Fan, his voice calm, "Before you go, do you want to hear some hidden information about the game?"

Chen Fan's vitality was fading, and he didn't respond.

Lo Bofan lay on the ground, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

However, Qi Yuan continued, "The task isn't complete yet. It's simple, really. The truth is... the Muri Savage Fish King killed the Luo and Chen families.

Didn't the game task mention investigating the truth behind the Luo and Chen families' extermination by demons?

Clearly... the demons were responsible.

Actually... your father, your mother, your family, and even your fiancee... they didn't die by your hand.

It was the Muri Savage Fish King who killed them, but he's skilled in illusions, deceiving you into thinking you were the culprit.

As for his motive, it's simple. The Muri Savage Fish King's power is too weak, so he needs someone to protect him.

Kun Boss was his choice, and Yunyan County's pride, Lo Bofan, was also on his list."

Upon hearing this, Lo Bofan's body trembled.

An Qiao's face lit up with joy, "I knew our captain wasn't that kind of person! He wouldn't kill his own parents!"

However, Chen Fan, whom she was holding, remained calm upon hearing Qi Yuan's words and asked softly, "Really?"

Qi Yuan nodded.

An Qiao's joy turned to tears, "Captain, we'll return, and there will surely be items to save you!"

The other two men in black uniforms smiled with relief. The task had been risky but successful.

As long as the captain could be saved, it would be a profitable and perfect conclusion.

Chen Fan seemed not to hear An Qiao's words, coughing incessantly. Bright red blood mixed with organ fragments oozed from the corner of his mouth. He looked at An Qiao, "After the task is done... go to my place and give my things... to him... as... payment..."

After saying this, he glanced at the young Lo Bofan nearby, his eyes revealing a sense of relief and ease for the first time. His hand finally dropped limply.

The world had chosen to let him go, but he hadn't yet found peace within himself.

Qi Yuan didn't feel much emotion over Chen Fan's death.

After all, he was just an NPC with a minor role.

"The task is finally over... where do we go now?"

"Hmm, let's bury him first, as is customary."
