Chapter 770: Spirit Light and the Capturing Hand

The ground where Chen Chuan had struck was almost sheared off its top layer, forming a large crater as if struck by a meteorite. Chen Chuan stood within it, maintaining the stance of a downward-punching fist, the light at the front of his arm gradually dimming and extinguishing.

This strike unleashed the highly condensed "Spiritual Flame" from within his body in an instant, creating a powerful destructive force.

Although he hadn't specifically trained it, and no one had told him how to do it, it was as if it were an innate ability that he naturally used during combat.

In the pit below, the Obsidian Armored General lay there, half-buried in the mud, with white smoke slowly rising from the exposed parts of his body.

His body was almost like charcoal, with shattered armor and flesh fused together, leaving only his head and three broken arms—one long and two short. The lower half of his body was barely visible.

But even in this state, he wasn't dead. Stubborn altered tissue stubbornly emerged from within his body, repairing his injuries. Where his limbs were severed, tendrils extended, as if trying to regrow.

Chen Chuan's gaze fell upon him. At that moment, the general suddenly opened his eyes and, in a flash, transformed into a black shadow, darting outward. However, he had only gone halfway when he froze in midair.

Chen Chuan's hand firmly grasped his shoulder.

At this moment, Chen Chuan noticed that the back and side of the half-body had insect-like tentacles, which were rapidly moving. It was these tentacles that had allowed the general to leap and dart about. At this moment, the two remaining hands tried to grab Chen Chuan's arm.

Chen Chuan firmly grabbed one of the arms, bent it backward with a crack, and then threw it to the ground, stepping on it to snap it. He then pulled the other arm back with his foot, stretching his body taut like a bowstring before kicking it away!

With a hiss, the light at the tip of his foot sliced through the general's neck, sending the head flying high into the air before landing on the edge of the pit, rolling to the side.

As the head flew off, all the altered tissue on the shattered body suddenly stiffened, then withered and dried up like a shriveled plant. White mist rose from the body, and within a short time, it completely crumbled into a pile of charred powder.

Zhao Zhenye, standing at a distance, saw this scene. His entire body glowed with silver-white light as he pushed his hands forward. Yao Zhiyi and Xiaowan both changed their expressions, sensing an abnormally violent power in that instant, and quickly adjusted their stances to defend.

In the next moment, a large cluster of light flashed in front of them, and the two were pushed far back by the impact, carving deep trenches in the ground.

When they looked up, they saw a cloud of dust and a silver-white aura rapidly moving away.

Seeing this, Xiaowan swiftly acted, his body blurring as he whipped out over ten spikes from his waist in a single breath. In that instant, over a dozen Yao Zhiyi appeared in the field, and the air exploded with the sound of cracking ground and numerous craters.

However, as the spikes, enveloped in orange flame, pierced into the aura, it was as if no sound could escape, and after a few flashes, they disappeared without a trace.

Xiaowan, both surprised and amazed, exclaimed, "Impressive!"

Yao Zhiyi watched the retreating aura with a solemn expression. When he had seen Wei Guo Chan trying to seize the relic from Chen Chuan, he had intended to go to his rescue. But this Zhao Zhenye was unexpectedly formidable, and the two of them together might not have been a match for him. With one less person, they could easily be defeated, so neither of them could afford to leave.

Moreover, Yao Zhiyi sensed a dangerous aura from Zhao Zhenye, a man who was not to be underestimated. In terms of combat power alone, he might be even stronger than the two of them combined.

"Such speed!" Xiaowan exclaimed, then added with regret, "It's a pity he got away."

Yao Zhiyi shook his head. "Normally, even with the two of us against him, we might not have won."

Xiaowan was taken aback. "Principal, are you joking?"

Yao Zhiyi spoke gravely. "I'm not joking. Didn't you sense it? This man is injured. He fought us while injured, and he can't hold on for long. He must have encountered an ambush on his way here."

Now that they knew about Zhao Zhenye, they would certainly be prepared. This time, they had specifically invited someone to counter him.

It seemed that Zhao Zhenye had encountered and fought with that person on his way here, and had been injured, preventing him from displaying his full combat power.

However, since this man had helped the former imperial court, he was now an enemy of Da Shun.

After dealing with Wei Guo Chan, they now had to face an even stronger Zhao Zhenye. The situation didn't seem to have improved much.

No, there was a difference.

Yao Zhiyi looked towards Chen Chuan. They, too, had gained a powerful fighter, one capable of influencing the situation in an entire region.

He lifted the long saber in his hand and said to Xiaowan, "Let's go and take a look."

Chen Chuan emerged from below the large crater and approached the severed head. As he had expected, the people on the Former Imperial Court's side had already undergone transformation. Even at this stage, as long as their brains were not completely destroyed, they would not die immediately.

However, this was intentional on his part, as he was unsure how the Great Prosperity Army would handle this individual. He wanted to keep him alive in case there was a plan in place.

As he saw the two men approaching him, he took the initiative to walk towards them. He nodded to Yao Zhiyi, "Principal Yao."

Yao Zhiyi's thick eyebrows twitched, "Are you a teacher at Wu Yi Academy?"

Chen Chuan nodded, "I am Chen Chuan, a teacher at Jinbei Province Wu Yi Academy, and also the investigation manager at the Handling Bureau. This time, I was assigned by the Defense Department, the Government Hall, and the Handling Bureau to come and support the retrieval of the relic from our colleagues."

Yao Zhiyi looked at him and sighed, "Old man like me hasn't been back to the school in a long time. I had no idea there was such a talented student like you in the school."

At this moment, Xiaowan's gaze towards Chen Chuan became much warmer.

"So, you're my junior? I'm Wan Yunsan, probably graduated a decade before you. But my records have been sealed, so you wouldn't know me.

Let me tell you, what's the need for all this? Many people knew me back then, and they all knew how capable I was. If I say there's another fighter, they'd guess who it is..."

"Alright, enough talk. Let's finish dealing with this situation first."

Yao Zhiyi interrupted Wan Yunsan's excited speech. He had to do this; otherwise, Wan Yunsan would keep talking endlessly. In truth, if it weren't for the mission to eliminate Wei Guochan, Yao Zhiyi would have preferred for Xiaowan to stay at the World Ring for a while longer.

At this moment, Chen Chuan took out the spherical object hanging at his waist, "Principal Yao, this is the relic I retrieved this time."

In the 1619 version, it's all correct!

Yao Zhiyi realized that someone must have informed Chen Chuan about the situation beforehand. Even so, Chen Chuan still brought this item to the encampment. Yao Zhiyi admired his courage and boldness. He said, "Since you retrieved it, you should take it back."

Seeing Yao Zhiyi's response, Chen Chuan didn't hesitate. He put the item back into his pocket and stepped aside to let them see the situation behind him. He said, "Principal Yao, Senior Wan, Wei Guochan's head is here. I don't know how to handle it, so I'll leave it to you two."

Yao Zhiyi looked at the head and sighed with mixed emotions. He said, "We'll take care of this."

Chen Chuan said, "Then, I'll take my leave for a while." After saying this, he nodded to the two men and walked towards the rift.

At this moment, on the other side of the merging ground, Mr. Zhuan was sitting on a broken piece of stone. The surrounding terrain was severely damaged. His mask was cracked, and only half of it remained, barely holding onto his face.

His clothes were tattered, with half of one pant leg missing. The exposed skin and other damaged areas emitted a silvery white aura.

He slowly said, "This time, I still couldn't stop him."

The mask on his face faintly glowed, and the half-face below it spoke, "There's nothing we can do. I didn't expect Zhao Zhenye to be so strong. Even with my mental secret technique, we couldn't defeat him."

The mask continued, "I think he must be practicing some secret technique. When we fought, he didn't fully unleash his power. From the battle, it seems he obtained several secret techniques from the Fusion Sect, and even some from the Refinement Sect. Moreover, he modified them all to suit himself better. We need to reevaluate our assessment of him."

The mask sighed, "He is indeed a genius. What a pity, he could have been the pillar of our Pure School."

After the mask finished speaking, the facial muscles relaxed, and he continued, "The stronger he becomes, the greater his destructive power. It proves that we were wrong back then."

The mask said, "Since it's come to this, what else can we do? We can only try to make up for it in the future. Fortunately, among our new recruits, there are many talented individuals, like that Little Bao..."

"Hmm, and that Chen Manager, I have high hopes for him. He might be the next fighter of our Pure School. With him, our branch in Jinbei Province's Central City will thrive. But Zhao Zhenye is so difficult to deal with; the pressure on him will be immense."

Mr. Zhuan stood up, the silvery white aura on his body gradually faded. He looked towards the direction of the relic's aurora and picked up a suitcase from beside him. Then, he strode towards the relic.

The mask hurriedly said, "Hey, I suggest finding a nearby airship."

Mr. Zhuan let out a cold laugh. With such a prominent aurora, how could he possibly get lost?
