Chapter 286: Only Those Who Survive Can Mock Others 1
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In Dusk Ridge, the dusky sky was gloomy, and only a last trace of light was left of the setting Sun. Gradually, the Sun sunk at the boundary between Heaven and Earth.
Long Wu’s eyes were closed, like an old man who was about to die. It was as if he had already lost his breath.
For some reason, he felt anxious waiting like this.
As an ace investigator, he had experienced countless dangers.
But now, he felt that the air was frozen. It was as if the pause button had been pressed. The feeling of suffocation rushed over from all directions after sunset.
Long Wu knew that this was his talent, Mental Perception.
It was not considered an outstanding talent among the Earthly Talent Sequence. After cultivating to an extremely high level, he could sense some special situations through his spiritual power.
It was similar to the Ultimate Mental Sense of the Spiritual Talent Sequence.
However, the difference between the two talents of a few words was as huge as the chasm between Heaven and Earth.
“If my talent was Ultimate Mental Sense, I should be able to know what is about to happen…”
The neon cloud dragon sitting at the side seemed to have experienced the feelings of its beastmaster. It flapped its huge wings, which were as big as a ship’s sail, exuding a mighty and spiritual aura, wanting to cheer its beastmaster up!
“Could it be that this kid can really resurrect that 200-year-old demon sword?” Long Wu’s heart suddenly started racing.
“Captain, look!” The team members at the side shouted. Having long been on high alert, they had already taken their positions. The space in this place had also long been sealed off.
Although they could still see the scenery outside, in reality, even the catkins flying in the wind couldn’t get out.
The space in the distance was suddenly torn apart, and a giant python flew out from inside.
“It’s Wang Ye’s pet!” Long Wu’s eyes focused. He waved his hand and immediately stopped the team members who were about to attack.
The giant python opened its mouth and Wang Ye appeared.
The python hovered in the sky. The silver wings on the side of its head flapped slightly, and a strong spatial fluctuation spread out like ripples.
“Oh, it’s someone I know,” Wang Ye looked at Long Wu across from him and was slightly stunned.
Wang Ye had quite an impression of the division captain from the Qixing Investigation Corps whom he had met in the professional assessment.
“Wang Ye!” Long Wu suddenly shouted, his voice deep, “What’s wrong with you, kid? I received an order from above, but how did you get involved with the demon sword? Also, where did you find out the location of the demon sword’s remnants? I don’t think you have the authority to know all this. Did someone else tell you?”
“Captain Long, you were ordered to capture me, right?” Wang Ye pondered for a moment, “Even if I say that it was someone else who told me, you’ll probably still have to do what you’ve been ordered, right?”
Upon hearing those words, Long Wu’s heart sank.
The other party’s words meant that he already knew the consequences.
For a person to do such a thing even though he already knew the consequences, it meant that he had done it voluntarily.
“Hand over the demon sword,” Long Wu said in a low voice, “With your potential and ability, let alone the Investigation Corps, even our superiors and the country won’t do anything to you. You’re only a beastmaster who’s not even twenty yet. I have ample reason to believe that you were only bewitched by the demon sword, or used by others.”
Wang Ye looked at Long Wu. It seemed that the different divisions of the Qixing Investigation Corps believed in different standards of conduct.
“Thank you for your kind intentions. Unfortunately, the sword has already been resurrected,” Wang Ye said with a smile, “I don’t have the right to hand it over.”
Hearing that, Long Wu’s pupils constricted.
An extremely dangerous feeling grew from the bottom of his heart, and then spread throughout his entire body in an instant!
At the same time, the rest of the team members looked at Wang Ye as if they were facing a great enemy.
In the next moment, a sword light slowly rose behind Wang Ye!
“Get lost!” An ice-cold shout resounded throughout the world.
The many investigators widened their eyes in shock!
To ordinary people or the other beastmasters, the Xinghai Sword Disaster from two hundred years ago was only a piece of history from the past. They would only occasionally talk about it once or twice during their after-dinner chats. It was just a piece of written memory that lived in a history textbook. Most likely, only when the teacher talked about it would the people reveal a hint of deep nostalgia.
As for the real situation, as well as the situation back then, it was just like a mirage, illusory and unreal.
Only investigators like them knew a little of the true cruelty of this period of history!
It was a disaster that involved not only the Xinghai Province but also foreign beastmasters and countless pets.
There was also the lone city that had long disappeared in the history of Xingahi Province.
The only one who had barely survived that disaster was the Qixing Investigation Corps’ Legend-rank Beastmaster, Ji Wuming.
As for what the demon sword looked like and what kind of terrifying strength it possessed, they didn’t know.
At this moment, looking at the clear and clean sword light rising behind Wang Ye, the majestic divine sword was emitting a radiance like the Sun!
The afterglow of the setting sun disappeared, and the rising sword light seemed to have changed time.
“This… This is the demon sword?” Long Wu was slightly taken aback.
This is the freaking demon sword?
His head buzzed.
What kind of demon sword could exude such a pure aura?
Was this not clearly a sword spirit pet that exudes the pure aura of life?
It could even speak the human language!
“Boss, should we still make a move?” Beside him, a red-haired team member said in a low voice, “Why do I feel that something is not right?”
Long Wu was silent for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, “We should focus on the things it has done and not its appearance. Even the devil can smile like an angel to you when it walks in the human world! It was not like we have not encountered something like this before! It seems that Wang Ye has indeed been bewitched. Let’s move! This demon sword has just been resurrected, so it shouldn’t be too strong.”
