Chapter 408 Shuiyue Jingxiang
Because as Su Chen's foot stomped down, a powerful current of air suddenly burst forth from the space below.
Then, his body unexpectedly rose again!
Sky Crossing!
Theoretically, Sky Crossing can only be performed at a very close distance from the ground.
But it's not absolute.
If it's performed at a distance far from the ground, it's possible as well.
That would just mean borrowing strength from the void once.
At this moment, for Su Chen, borrowing strength once was enough.
This leap was nearly eight meters high.
Eight meters plus another eight meters, that's sixteen meters.
Although this height was still within the Explosion range of the Bomb, it was already on the very edge of that range.
Moreover, as Su Chen leaped up, he had already thrown his katana into the air.
When he reached the sixteenth meter, the katana had just reached its peak and was about to fall.
Su Chen's foot fiercely stomped on the katana, causing his body to shoot up an additional five meters.
Sixteen meters plus another five meters.
Twenty-one meters!
Already beyond the lethal radius of the Bomb.
Although shrapnel would still fly towards him, it could no longer cause fatal damage.
Boom!
A deafening Explosion came from below.
Su Chen saw six dazzling flames erupt from the ground and the bodies of the six Rashamon women being blown apart.
At the moment of the Bomb's Explosion, there was not a trace of emotion on the Rashamon women's faces.
As if death, to them, was just a common occurrence.
The dust settled, revealing six shallow craters.
The six Rashamon women had completely turned into fragments.
The scene was extremely gruesome.
Accompanied by the thick smell of gunpowder, Su Chen felt as if he had returned once again to the battlefield.
Su Chen turned to look at Nishijiu, who was dumbstruck, picked up the katana from the ground, and walked toward Nishijiu.
Though those six people were Rashamon, they were also six living human lives.
Especially after encountering Wan Qiluo.
He came to realize that not all Rashamon women were inhuman executioners.
Seeing the murderous Su Chen, Nishijiu finally reacted.
She could not have imagined that Su Chen was so powerful that he could escape certain death.
With her ranking of 52 in the Reverse Dragon Group, it was simply impossible for her to compete with Su Chen.
However, her lips suddenly curled into a slight smile, and her gaze was firmly fixed on something behind Su Chen.
At the same time, Su Chen also felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind.
Subconsciously, his body sidestepped half a meter.
A gust of wind brushed past him.
Puff!
A thick tree several meters away was cleanly severed into two pieces at the middle.
If he had not seen it incorrectly, that was a spear.
The force carried by the spear was astonishing and if it had hit him, he would probably have been impaled.
Turning his head, he saw a woman in a kimono appearing in his sight.
And beside the woman, there stood a Monster that was half-human, half-horse.
The creature had the upper body of a human, but the lower half was that of a horse's body, and in its hands was a spear.
Centaur!
Do such creatures truly exist in this world?
However, he found that this Centaur seemed to not have a physical body; its form somewhat ethereal.
It felt like it was made up of some mysterious force.
The kimono-clad woman somewhat resembled Nishijiu, yet she was a bit older in age.
She looked like Nishijiu's sister.
"Mother!" However, hearing Nishijiu's address for the kimono-clad woman, Su Chen's face twitched.
The kimono-clad woman seemed only a few years older than Nishijiu at most, but unexpectedly, she was Nishijiu's mother.
"You actually abandoned Mother; you deserve to die!" Nishijiu's gaze suddenly turned towards Su Chen, his expression incredibly cold.
"What?" Su Chen's eyes widened.
Abandoned her mother?
When did this happen?
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly found the kimono-clad woman somewhat familiar.
But he couldn't remember where he had encountered her.
Damn it, could it be that there had been some entanglement between the two in the past?
However, though the kimono-clad woman was beautiful and seemed young, she was after all Nishijiu's mother.
Nishijiu was at least over twenty years old.
Even if the kimono-clad woman had given birth to Nishijiu at twenty, she would have to be at least forty years old now.
Indeed, a woman is like wine; the older, the more flavor.
But Su Chen could only accept those around thirty years old.
Upon seeing Su Chen, complex emotions also emerged in the kimono-clad woman's eyes, but were quickly replaced by a surge of killing intent.
"You promised Mother that you would take her away, yet you broke your word, making Mother stay in that place for so long; you deserve to die!" Nishijiu continued to speak with a face full of resentment.
Su Chen became even more confused, looking at the kimono-clad woman, "Have we met?"
The kimono-clad woman suddenly let out a burst of crazed laughter, and as she laughed, tears began to flow.
"Aren't you the ones who value promises the most? Yet why did you abandon me, why did you let me stay in that cold place for so long... Heaven has eyes, allowing me to live on..."
Hearing the kimono-clad woman's words, and looking at the somewhat ethereal Centaur, Su Chen finally recalled something.
That Centaur must be a Dongyin Shikigami!
Then this woman is...
Shuiyue Jingxiang!
Su Chen finally remembered the identity of the kimono-clad woman.
Originally, his encounter with Shuiyue Jingxiang wasn't as he had thought.
It was during a mission where he was responsible for rescuing a hostage from a terrorist organization.
To enter that organization, he feigned capture.
While imprisoned in the cellar, he met the kimono-clad woman, Nishijiu's mother, Shuiyue Jingxiang.
Of course, at that time, there were many people being held captive.
It wasn't just Nishijiu's mother.
Therefore, Nishijiu's mother didn't make a strong impression on him, and he didn't remember her immediately.
When he escaped, he assured those imprisoned that he would definitely come back for them.
But his main mission was to rescue the hostage.
After the hostage was rescued, he thought about going back for those people.
However, on his way back, he was ambushed with a bomb.
It was during that mission that a bomb nearly shattered half of his body.
The Reverse Dragon rescue team didn't know about the cellar, and since the hostage had been successfully rescued, they only brought Su Chen back to
Reverse Dragon Group.
They didn't go back to rescue the people in the cellar.
By the time Su Chen came to, it was many days later.
By the time he returned to that cellar, it had completely collapsed...
He had thought that everyone in the cellar had died.
But he didn't expect that one person had survived.
And that person was Nishijiu's mother.
