Chapter 374: Luminate Blade
Chapter 374: Luminate Blade
Chen Chuan glanced at the incoming call, noticing it was from the Border Fusion Affairs Handling Department. He had no intention of getting involved in internal company matters, so he ignored it.
Perhaps sensing his reluctance to engage, the caller sent him a voice message through the company's internal platform: "Mr. Chen, we are aware of your abilities, but please don't make unwise choices. Her promises will never be fulfilled, and that's all I have to say."
After listening, the message automatically deleted itself. Chen Chuan's gaze flickered, sensing the tone was similar to Meng Huang's, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it.
Just then, someone else attempted to add a contact, and the label indicated it was Meng Shu's female assistant.
He accepted the request and answered the call. A voice greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Yan Yi, Meng's assistant and manager. Welcome aboard."
"We are currently at the Radiant Zone branch of Wansheng Bank. To protect Miss Meng's identity, she is not using her Boundary Token, and I will handle all communication with you on her behalf."
"I understand. That's a wise precaution," Chen Chuan replied.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Chen. Do you have any suggestions for us?" Yan Yi asked.
"You don't need to tell me when you're leaving Wansheng. Just send me a notification through the Boundary Token, and I'll be there within an hour."
"Noted. Also, we will be sending you a few specially made protective suits. Please be ready to receive them," Yan Yi said seriously.
"Understood," Chen Chuan acknowledged.
After ending the call, he discussed the matter with Gao Ming for a while before driving back to the Mystic Palace Tower.
Upon reaching his room, Chen Chuan anticipated that Meng Shu's team would soon depart from Wansheng Bank after his arrival, so he began making preparations.
Less than half an hour later, a package from Fusion Boundary Corporation arrived.
Fusion Boundary Corporation was the manufacturer of the protective suits, and the one provided this time was also produced by the company. However, its grade was Level 2, even higher than the one previously supplied by the Tongwu Bureau.
After all, he wasn't a Level 3 Combatant back then, and this suit was designed specifically for the physical characteristics of a Level 3 Combatant.
In addition to the suit, there was a special fiber mask. It appeared thin and delicate, but when Chen Chuan attempted to exert force, it instantly became incredibly sturdy.
The mask had a vertical vermilion line on the forehead, which seemed like a decorative element or display. However, Chen Chuan sensed that this design might serve a purpose.
Level 3 Combatants possess heightened spiritual sensitivity, allowing them to perceive things that ordinary people cannot, hence the term "Heavenly Eye." This design might be related to that ability.
Not long after receiving the package from Fusion Boundary Corporation, the Handling Bureau also delivered a set of casual attire per his request, devoid of the bureau's style. The materials used were similar to those of his uniform.
Chen Chuan inspected everything, ensuring they were in order, then took some medication and began practicing the Furnace Breath Technique to regulate his mental state.
The day passed uneventfully, and they didn't contact him further.
The next morning, around 7 a.m., Chen Chuan's Boundary Token emitted a notification sound. Sitting upright, he opened his eyes and looked outside the window, which was left uncovered.
The view was filled with vibrant neon lights, and as the sun gradually rose, day and night transitioned. Morning light intertwined with dazzling radiance, making it challenging to distinguish one from the other.
Chen Chuan stood up, freshened up, and changed into the protective suit and casual attire. He grabbed the Xuejun Blade and left the Mystic Palace Tower, driving the Gader car to Wansheng Bank.
In just three quarters of an hour, he arrived at the bank's building. The female assistant, Yan Yi, was already waiting for him on the steps, and she greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Are you ready, Assistant Yan?"
"Miss Meng is ready to depart at any moment," Yan Yi replied, then turned slightly, "These are our security team members. If you find anything unsatisfactory, we can make adjustments."
Chen Chuan took a quick glance. The team appeared well-equipped and highly professional, but the absence of a Level 3 Combatant left a significant gap in their defense.
He understood this, as ordinary personnel could handle most situations, but a Level 3 Combatant with issues could be fatal.
Chen Chuan withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go now."
Yan Yi notified the team inside through the Boundary Token, and soon, Meng Shu emerged, escorted by three female security guards. She looked at Chen Chuan, who returned her gaze and said, "Follow me." With that, he turned and left the building.
As Chen Chuan arrived at Wansheng Bank, the Handling Bureau was also monitoring the surroundings, checking for suspicious individuals. They focused on ensuring the absence of long-range attackers, with personnel stationed at strategic vantage points for surveillance and control.
At that moment, one of the Resonators suddenly spoke up: "Captain Guan, I've spotted a suspicious target moving towards Wansheng Bank. I'm verifying their identity..."
"Confirmed. The target is suspected to be... a Fenyajin!"
"A Fenyajin? That Fenyajin?" Captain Guan was startled, as if he had realized something. He quickly examined the footage passed by his team members and immediately confirmed the identity, his expression turning solemn. "Quickly, help me contact Enforcement Agent Chen!"
"Yes, sir!"
At that moment, Chen Chuan had already descended the stairs of the building and was heading towards the parking lot. But suddenly, he sensed something and glanced at a particular spot, then raised his hand to signal.
The security team behind him halted, and several security members quickly dispersed to both sides, with the last few forming a circle to shield Meng Shu and retreat backwards.
Across from them, a man dressed in the ancient attire of a foreign island nation approached. This man, not yet thirty, had exceptionally fair skin and well-drawn eyebrows. His long hair was tied back, giving him an initial appearance of a woman. As he walked, he had a unique sense of rhythm.
At that moment, a reminder appeared in Chen Chuan's Boundary Token: "Enforcement Agent Chen, this is the Fenyajin known as 'Luminate Blade'. Please exercise caution."
Chen Chuan glanced at the information that appeared in his Boundary Token. According to the records, this man was a skilled third-limit combatant from a foreign island nation, renowned for his twelve consecutive undefeated battles.
This was an impressive achievement. A third-limit fighter, some might never encounter so many peers of their caliber in their entire life, and that's just on the surface. There could be even more undisclosed battles.
Chen Chuan asked, "Are there snipers in the vicinity?"
Captain Guan replied with certainty, "No, it's just him."
In the 1619 book, a look, no mistake!
Wu Bei's voice sounded, "Little Brother Chen, there are no Resonators interfering nearby."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a hum and turned to face his opponent. The man's appearance here at this moment was likely aimed at Meng Shu.
Although this blatant approach seemed to lose the element of surprise, according to the records, this man was not an assassin but a fighter who found joy in challenging skilled opponents. He was probably being manipulated.
However, this method was effective. If he were to be killed in this challenge today, Meng Shu's team would lose their greatest reliance, and the subsequent events would be unimaginable.
The Fenyajin approached Chen Chuan and bowed slightly, saying, "Mr. Chen, please guide me." Then, he slowly drew his blade and positioned it at the centerline.
Chen Chuan's gaze fell upon the thin, sharp, and almost transparent blade. From a slightly different angle, it appeared as a ray of light, perhaps the origin of the name 'Luminate Blade'.
At that moment, the upper echelon of the Handling Bureau was alerted and immediately mobilized boundary resources to monitor the situation. Secret intelligence agents and their masterminds were also paying close attention.
Chen Chuan chose not to draw his sword but walked directly towards his opponent.
The Fenyajin's expression remained unmoved by Chen Chuan's choice. He stepped forward, and his Luminate Blade seemed to flicker. A barely discernible flash of light suddenly appeared.
In that instant, Chen Chuan's skin turned slightly red, and he abruptly released his biofield.
In a flash, he sensed the opponent's biofield and immediately realized it was an extremely imbalanced field, sharp and hard on the outside but relatively weak within.
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed sharply.
The Fenyajin also sensed his biofield and seemed to witness something unimaginable, his eyes shifting slightly. His blade slowed down imperceptibly.
Chen Chuan sidestepped, avoiding the blade's edge. With a flick of his sheath, he deflected the opponent's blade. The Fenyajin's momentum was not only halted, but the force of the collision completely suppressed his power in an instant.
Chen Chuan quickly stepped forward, pushing his other hand towards the Fenyajin's shoulder. This strike, seemingly focused on speed rather than force, precisely hit the node where the force was flowing.
The Fenyajin's intended force was not only unsuccessful but also pushed him back, causing him to lean slightly and disrupting his balance.
Chen Chuan continued his advance, taking the third step. He pressed his palm against the Fenyajin's face. Simultaneously, the accumulated force within his body erupted, and with the momentum of the Furnace Breath Technique, the powerful force directly blasted the opponent's head into a backward-spraying cone of blood mist.
The headless, sword-wielding corpse stood for a moment before staggering and falling backward, hitting the ground. Chen Chuan maintained his striking posture, and white mist emanated from the back of his hand and fingers.
In just one exchange, within three steps, the renowned Fenyajin was killed on the spot.
