Chapter 186: Apology

From the moment the first woman with the foul mouth and the fatty slammed into the wall, Lou Feng wasn't surprised at all; if anything, he had expected it.

And when Zhou Cheng was hoisted up by Ji Jue and thrown out, flying over his head, his eyelids began to twitch wildly.

Thank goodness I reacted fast and hid far away!

But even so, looking at Zhou Cheng not far away, he still didn't feel safe.

Lou Feng's brow furrowed again and again, he retreated again and again, and not satisfied with shielding everyone behind him, he tried hard to stand even further into the corner.

It was one thing for others not to know and to use previous events as a joke to mock him, but as someone who had experienced it firsthand, how could he not know?

This lunatic Ji Jue didn't recognize anyone when he started a fight, and he didn't care if you lived or died!

You guys haven't been subjected to machine-gun fire and fulminate bombs, so if you want to die, that's your business, but don't splash blood on me!

This high-end custom suit of mine is hard to wash!

And not far away, the accusations finally arrived late.

"Despicable!"

"Actually ambushed!"

"Shameless!"

Seeing Ji Jue make the first move without any regard for martial virtue, and even before they could react, Zhou Cheng was already half-crippled, the others were shocked and shouted angrily.

As for Ji Jue, he didn't care at all.

He even wanted to pick his ears.

Isn't this normal?

Isn't that what fighting is? Use whatever you have, use whatever is useful; any fool knows that the Ember's weakest point is an encounter battle, and that you have to be ruthless and strike first, beat them to death if you can, and if you can't, beat them to a cripple first.

How big of a hole in my brain would I need to have to line up with these equipment warriors, soldier against soldier, general against general?

"Who's next?"

Ji Jue kicked away the shattered table and walked toward the crowd, reminding them in a friendly manner: "I suggest you don't fight alone; if you want to win, come at me together."

But before that, he had already struck ruthlessly!

Mercury surged, enveloping his body.

Inside, a hardened mercury bead quietly dissolved, and then, the outline of heavy armor emerged from it, the motor roared, a loud noise thundered, and over a hundred kilograms of mass crashed into the crowd like a cannonball.

It was as if he had shattered glass, crushing some invisible barrier.

And before his words had even faded, Ji Jue's fist had already punched straight into the face of the person in front, but suddenly, the opponent reacted quickly, attempting to lean back to dodge.

In his pupils flashed the same spiritual quality light as Ji Jue's.

【Transcendent Vision】!

Accelerating the operation of consciousness to slow down the perceived world—it was the same blessing!

While dodging, the man couldn't help but want to sneer—we're all Embers, you really think you're the only one who has it? Next, I'll let you know the...

Bang!

A muffled sound erupted suddenly.

In the slowed time, Ji Jue clearly saw that face full of disdain and sneers gradually distort, eyes widening, bloodshot, almost popping out of their sockets.

The screams were stretched out endlessly.

Then, he pulled back the foot he had kicked into the opponent's crotch.

Full of confusion.

No, the opponent already charged over, and you're still here playing the iron-bridge split, offering up your crotch; I have no idea what's going on in your brain!

I thought you had the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt!

Before he could fall to the ground, a mercury mechanical arm popped out from Ji Jue's back, grabbed his ankle, swung him around like a rag, threw him into mid-air, and swept!

Muffled sounds rang out incessantly.

In the rush, the Ember Chosen behind Ji Jue shrank back to dodge first, and then, electric light appeared on his right hand, a pair of brass knuckles suddenly emerged, and he stabbed at Ji Jue's waist!

Dazzling electric light and terrifying power were entrusted to it, colliding head-on with the mercury armor.

A roar erupted!

But on the crystal plating of the mercury armor's surface, there wasn't even a crack; the momentary disturbance dissipated rapidly in the liquid and reformed.

And another auxiliary arm had already shot out like lightning.

Toward his chin.

Uppercut!

Boom!

A figure rose from the ground and crashed into the ceiling, leaving only two legs twitching in shock.

"Kill him! Kill him for me!"

In the cracks of the wall, the woman who finally struggled out touched the tear on her face, screamed incoherently, her expression becoming even more ferocious.

The rings on her ten fingers flashed with light one after another.

A burly figure emerged in the void, like a giant spirit, and a giant hand slammed down!

On Ji Jue's body, mercury flowed and changed, supporting upward.

A loud noise roared.

The ground collapsed, the building shook, a sudden fierce attack. It actually caused a crack to appear on the mercury pillar!

"What the hell is that?"

Ji Jue waved his hand, and half a stool leg picked up from the ground whistled out, stabbing toward her face like a sharp arrow, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Only Ji Jue's hand remained hanging in mid-air.

As if in vain.

The woman sneered, just about to say something, when she heard the wall behind her shatter with a roar.

An armored vehicle sped through the wall, crashing into her without reservation, the sound of breaking ringing out incessantly; she didn't know how many layers of defense had been shattered in an instant.

Amidst the screams, she flew out again, against her will.

Toward the hand Ji Jue had extended.

It was as if she were actively offering her neck into Ji Jue's five fingers.

"You're the one with all the trouble!"

This was the last sound she heard.

The spiritual quality impact exploded without reservation, instantly penetrating her body, disturbing the matrix, shaking the blessing, and inflicting damage!

In an instant, her eyes rolled back, and she went limp, life or death unknown.

"Xiao Lu!"

A roar rang out, and the opponent behind Ji Jue cursed: "Bastard, let go!"

Instantly, the air seemed to solidify, like shackles, applied to Ji Jue's body, but immediately after, it shattered amidst the roar of the motor.

Ji Jue turned around, hoisted the woman in his hand, and smashed her into his chest, "Fulfilling your wish!"

The man was shocked, scrambling to catch her, staggering backward, but before he could react, he saw a silver light fly out from her arms, like a spider, pouncing on his face!

He fell to the ground, unable to even care about the person in his arms, scratching frantically with both hands, but couldn't pull it off.

On the other side, Ji Jue didn't have time to seize the opportunity to attack fiercely, but instead, staggered for a moment.

He didn't stand firm.

Because the marble floor under his feet had softened like mud, rose, and wrapped around his legs.

Another Ember-line ability.

Liquefaction? Or shaping?

It didn't matter.

Seizing this brief gap, all the opponents who could still crawl up now pounced on Ji Jue regardless of their own safety, holding nothing back.

After controlling him, they used all their skills instantly.

Am I being treated as some kind of final boss?

Ji Jue wanted to laugh.

And then he really did laugh.

The mercury flowing around his body shook violently, and after a change, it retracted rapidly; except for the protective layer on his clothes, the intelligence of the knock-off armor had been resealed into the mercury beads.

Immediately after, accompanied by the simultaneous shattering of eight mercury beads, eight incredibly flexible mercury limbs suddenly extended from Ji Jue's back!

In a short snap of the fingers, from the liquid mercury, joints were reconstructed, the skeleton hardened, and limbs operated; thanks to the friend fee sent by Captain Yu, and with the blessing of the metal quality, eight mechanical arms with hardness exceeding composite metal were instantly constructed from Ji Jue's spine.

Then, explode!

Even, without any operation, Ji Jue only needed a thought to issue a command, and the eight mechanical arms would perfectly execute his orders.

Block, break, stab, sweep, defend, attack!

Although it wasn't worth mentioning in front of Professor Ye, if it was used to bully the weak, it was accurate every time!

As long as he didn't encounter an out-of-spec bug skill like Dissection, Ji Jue's current output, combined with the bonus of Non-Aggression to operation, instantly multiplied by more than eight times!

Under his central coordination, the liquefied stone clinging to his body was easily stripped away, the flame sword that came through the air was broken under the closing iron pincers, and the siege from all directions was easily resolved.

Then, ruthlessly counterattack!

Bang!

A mechanical arm actually hit the barrier and returned without success?

"Everyone, get behind me!"

Seeing the man whose armor had made a contribution, his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "I'll handle... grass, stop!!"

Before he could even be proud for a moment, his laughter turned into a shrill scream.

Under Ji Jue's raised right hand...

I originally just wanted to use ordinary techniques to have a friendly match with you, but since someone is refusing to take a hint, then... witness the Tide Sound Workshop's inherited—Dissection!

Under one palm, a deep crack appeared on the inner armor that had been flowing with radiance amidst the screams, piercing a large hole. The spiritual quality circuits ravaged the spiritual quality like a scalpel, causing it to fall apart, and the core part was instantly severely damaged, turning into wisps of essence, which Ji Jue grabbed and absorbed.

The mechanical arm swept again, punching out.

Smashing into that distorted face.

Falling backward toward the sky.

Youth is good, fall asleep as soon as you hit the ground.

Amidst the continuous screams, loud noises erupted constantly, wailing or begging for mercy; Ji Jue didn't care, almost absent-mindedly knocking down all the guys blocking his way.

Until a terrified voice suddenly rang out.

Bang!

The hardened barrier of spiritual quality shaping blocked Ji Jue's punch.

"Why hit me!"

Lou Feng, who had already shrunk into the corner, was shocked, "You're crazy! I didn't provoke you!"

"Hitting you is just a matter of convenience!"

Ji Jue didn't hesitate, gave him a big slap on the back of the head, making him stagger, and then turned and walked away.

You bastard...

Lou Feng gritted his teeth, his fist hardened, but soon softened again: Calm down, calm down Lou Feng, he's from Tide Sound, he's Ye Xian's disciple, he's a mad dog!

Don't argue, don't argue, don't argue with such a lunatic.

And amidst the wailing, Zhou Cheng struggled to climb up, watching Ji Jue guard the door and knock down his opponents one by one, not letting a single one go; after today, he would probably become a laughingstock...

His expression changed, becoming even more ferocious.

Gritting his teeth, he took out an arrowhead wrapped in dark, cold aura from his arms, aimed it at Ji Jue's back from afar, and just as he was about to pour spiritual quality into it, he heard a loud noise.

A sharp pain came, the arrowhead flew out of his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Zhou Cheng screamed and turned his head, only to see that on the armored vehicle that had crashed in from the corner, a heavy machine gun had risen at some point, aimed at his palm, and fired a burst.

Zhou Cheng subconsciously wanted to reach out to pick it up, but the roar rang out incessantly.

A metal storm whistled out.

Amidst the violent strafing, the gale brushed past his shoulders constantly, Zhou Cheng screamed, frozen in place, not daring to move. After coming to his senses, he realized that in the violent strafing, countless bullet holes had already surrounded him, accurately outlining a human shape on the wall.

Finally, amidst the rising blue smoke and the rustling dust, a crimson aiming light fell on his face, locking on.

A shoe stepped on the arrowhead he had dropped.

"Whoa, good stuff!"

Ji Jue sighed as if in lingering fear: "If this had hit, I'd probably be dead, right?"

"It, it's all a misunderstanding..."

Zhou Cheng's expression twitched, and under the shadow, he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Just, just a joke... don't... don't..."

Slap!

Answering him was a slap, and a painful rebuke as if he were disappointed that he didn't live up to expectations: "Why learn to ambush people when you can't learn anything else!"

Zhou Cheng's vision went black, his head instantly swinging to the right.

Then it went black again, and he couldn't help but swing to the left.

"And you couldn't even pull off the ambush!"

Ji Jue gave him another slap: "And you got caught in the act!"

"Embarrassing!"

"Disgraceful!"

"Scum!"

Amidst the continuous slaps, Ji Jue became more and more skillful, as if he faintly heard footsteps approaching, but he didn't care at all.

Speaking of which, the teacher has been at the meeting for a long time, she hasn't been troubled by these guys, has she?

Probably not.

Maybe she's sitting majestically in the conference room right now, unlike me, having to suffer such cruel bullying and violence?

What on earth is wrong with the Ring of Taiyi?

The atmosphere among the apprentices is actually this bad!

No wonder the internal infighting is so serious; it's rotten from the roots!

Against this kind of unhealthy trend, we must strike hard, for the sake of justice, and correct it fiercely! Let the bullies fully realize their mistakes, feel remorse, and from now on...

His movements suddenly paused, and he felt a slight pain in his little finger.

Finally came to his senses.

Lowered his head, and only then saw Zhou Cheng, who was swollen like a pig's head, and the small cut on his little finger, scraped by a shattered tooth.

"Tsk..."

Ji Jue frowned, shook his hand, and finally looked at Zhou Cheng, who was twitching uncontrollably, and suddenly said, "You can apologize now."

"... Huh?"

Zhou Cheng was dazed, and amidst the sharp pain and dizziness, he felt his brain couldn't turn, unable to understand: "Apo... apo... logize? Me?!!"

"Yes, apologize."

Ji Jue nodded as a matter of course, telling him: "Say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't make you use your full strength, I'm sorry I didn't make you have a good time."

I actually thought you guys could bring out some special skills, and I looked forward to it for a long time.

As a result, a bunch of people were awesome for a long time, but it was just a carload of vegetables...

Not to mention a large group, if even a Bai Lu had come, he wouldn't have been this bored!

Ji Jue shook his head, sighing with melancholy, bullying the weak is really boring.

It's still more fun to play high-end games.

But fortunately, there's still one left that's a bit difficult...

He raised his head and looked at Young Master Lou.

Lou Feng was stunned, subconsciously moved back a bit, before he could be terrified, he saw Ji Jue grin, smile, and instantly felt his hair stand on end!

Don't you dare come over here!

Lou Feng subconsciously wanted to scream, and immediately after, he heard a familiar angry shout.

"Enough!"

When he heard it in the past, he was always trembling as if walking on thin ice, but now, hearing his own teacher's voice, he was actually so moved he was about to cry.

Teacher, why did you only just arrive!

At this moment, the door swung open with a roar.

Unfortunately, halfway through opening, the metal hinge groaned and broke, slamming onto the ground.

Kicking up a cloud of dust, and incidentally covering someone who was still screaming.

In the corridor outside the door, one by one, gloomy faces appeared, as if they had lost a child.

After all, if they had arrived any later...

Someone would probably be truly dead. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
