Chapter 1089: At Will (10000 10200 Supplement)

Deep within the Imperial Palace.

Dachen chanted a loud Buddha name, his entire body enveloped in Innate Qi that was incomparably viscous and dense, rendering him impervious to any powerful bows or heavy crossbows.

This was already power approaching the limits of the world!

However, those fighting him were not mere players, but a group of cheaters.

Tietou, Tiejian, Tieshen, and the others all possessed extraordinary cultivation, each approaching the two-hundred-year limit, and each had practiced a unique, peerless art.

Tietou was honest and diligent, having practiced only the Iron Head Art, yet among the many brothers with the surname Tie, his cultivation was the highest, and he fought at the very front.

Although the Iron Head Art provided the highest defense for the head, the defense of his other body parts was also quite astonishing, capable of taking Dachen's Innate Qi head-on.

Tiejian and Tiebi had also practiced the "Iron Finger Zen Art," their ten fingers capable of splitting stone tablets and breaking rocks, invincible against anything.

Zuo Sifei's expression quickly turned dangerous: "Every year, so many people end up with mental illnesses or go insane from playing virtual games... take a guess, how many are natural occurrences, and how many are our doing? As long as I use a 'Spirit Lock' to lock your consciousness, you will never be able to log off, even if you forcibly remove your helmet, it's useless... Then, I can kill you here a hundred times, a thousand times, and try every kind of torture... take a guess, when you finally wake up, will your mind collapse?"

"There really is a problem!"

A director glared resentfully at Qianbukong beside him and asked the Technical Director next to them.

Pfft!

The pitch-black long spear was like a bolt of lightning, piercing directly three feet into the palace wall, its tail still vibrating incessantly.

……

He was indeed trying to log off, but found it impossible to do so!

Zuo Sifei smiled slightly: "Tell me, where is the Nine Dragons Shadow Wall?"

A voice that only he could hear rang out.

"Fine... whatever!"

If he had known, he wouldn't have provoked that woman in the first place, though he couldn't be blamed; it was all because that woman was too beautiful.

The moment the old eunuch in the purple robe finished his last sentence, his figure moved forward like a ghost, striking five palms in an instant!

His collar tightened, and he was already hoisted up by Qianbukong: "What? It's right there... hurry, change the location, or forcibly kick them offline!"

"We'll issue an announcement—the Nine Dragons Shadow Wall is abnormal data, and we do not accept it as evidence."

……

His palm technique was plain and simple, great skill appearing clumsy.

In the night, the owner of the long spear arrived at this city gate, smiled slightly, and violently threw the long spear in his hand.

He thought for a moment, suddenly recalled a key question, and hurriedly asked.

Qianbukong had already collapsed limply onto the ground.

He was no longer an ordinary high-level NPC, but an actual staff member of *Sword Moving the Jianghu*, and like the players, he had not had his memory sealed.

It was just one game life; if it died, it died.

However, the owner of this spear was an expert at turning the impossible into the possible.

That would truly require killing the opponent thousands of times, supplemented by all sorts of torture; if one encountered the kind of pervert with an incomparably firm will, it might not even work!

At this moment, Zuo Sifei had to discard all burdens to better deal with the suddenly appearing powerful enemy!

Then, he was kicked by someone.

Control room.

What knocked the long spear from his hand was not some heavy, sinister hidden weapon, but a single—leaf from a potted plant!

"Plucking flowers and leaves, both can injure people!"

More players took advantage of the rare opportunity, even daring to head deep into the inner palace, wanting to search for concubines or some imperial treasure...

It contained a data Trojan horse, which, after killing a Breaker, had a high probability of tracking the opponent's IP Address, which could be called vicious to the extreme.

He turned around and saw his father returning from the game: "Dad..."

No matter how supreme an expert, being surrounded meant death!

Yet at this moment, it was being forcibly pierced through by a long spear!

This was originally impossible.

This black mist was full of corrosiveness, even causing the ground to hiss and emit a sound of being eroded.

Aaron blew the blood droplets off the Sword of Talisman Water.

President Qian said loudly: "The Nine Dragons Shadow Wall... is at..."

The Technical Director asked a question; in fact, such matters were simple to resolve: let Qianbukong plead guilty, then issue a painless, perfunctory apology announcement, and once the heat died down, everything would naturally be fine.

In fact, he had long known the Nine Dragons Shadow Wall was nearby, next to the rockery, three feet underground!

As for swindling money? That was just a little joke... and he hadn't even kept it; the account reported was for the Red Cross organization...

Fine, he just had a small hobby, liked to play little jokes on people, what did that count for?

At this moment, the three great Divine Catchers were fighting Dachen; from the outside, it looked like four gray shadows constantly moving, their techniques operating so fast that one couldn't see how they struck at all.

"Brother, I don't know either... the Hero King didn't give me that..." the Emperor replied with a face full of helplessness.

At this moment, he was complaining inwardly: 'Damn... could Zuo Sifei also be bewitched by Yuan Yuexin? No... this Breaker has always been famous for only recognizing money and not people... so, was he bought off by some competing company to make our company look bad?'

Pfft!

In the darkness, a long spear like a dragon violently pierced through an iron-clad Army Formation of a hundred men.

In reality, he was relying on divination!

"Evil Spear—Zuo Sifei!"

The crossbow in his hand was named—Dragon Slayer!

It was equipment personally defined by the game officials, having a one-hit-kill effect on any humanoid creature!

As for the reality...

"No!"

The long spear in his hand was actually knocked flying away!

When he focused his eyes to look, a cold sweat broke out instantly.

But her unique mental cultivation method was one of a kind; it was a practice of poison arts!

Once she channeled her energy to unleash it, a radius of over ten zhang around her was shrouded in a strange black mist.

He sighed, but Qianbukong probably understood; in any case, it just wouldn't work.

Thinking that he had provoked such a formidable Breaker, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Zuo Sifei's expression was as cold as ice; he snatched a long spear from a guard and, as if entering an uninhabited land, charged recklessly through the inner palace.

The players, however, had no such taboos and charged directly into the Imperial Palace; some clashed with the Imperial Guard, while others used light-body techniques to reach the battlefield.

His eyes lit up, and he dug out a brocade box.

The Emperor was tossed aside, his face as dark as water, and he said to the air: "No matter what, you must leave a few Breakers behind today! And... hurry and remove the mental lock on me!"

Meanwhile, the battlefield where Zhuge Wudi and the Divine Catchers like Tietui were fighting Shui Mu Yin Hou was a completely different scene.

"Hmm, taking someone's money to resolve their disaster—please, go ahead!"

Some were simply there for the scenery, carving "So-and-so was here" everywhere on the vermilion walls.

Even if you need a reason, I've come to the Xia Wang Mansion to dig for treasure, what can you do about it?

"Damn! The husky players are the most hateful; why dig anywhere else, why dig here specifically?"

As for a mental breakdown?

Outside, the noise was deafening, while Dugu Jian and Xiao Lei were carrying hoes, being ordered around by Aaron—digging pits!

"I strongly suspect that the Xia Wang hid the 'Nine Dragons Shadow Wall' in the Xia Wang Mansion... anyway, there are already so many people in the Imperial Palace, it's no fun to go there, better to dig the ground here..."

"Look at the good work you've done!"

"Quick... Dragon-Falling Lock!"

The Emperor replied without changing his expression.

The technician, who had been speaking eloquently, suddenly stared fixedly at a monitoring screen, his mouth agape like a fish out of water, his face full of disbelief.

Everyone in this Army Formation was a second-rate expert of the Jianghu, all wearing full iron armor with astonishing defensive power.

The head steward of the Xia Wang Mansion, also an expert comparable to those on the Dragon Tiger List, had just brought a group of people to stop them.

"We can't do that kind of thing... we are only equivalent to game maintenance staff; the specifics still rely on the game world running on its own!"

Clang!

A loud noise suddenly came from the void; Zuo Sifei instinctively raised his spear to block, and then felt a pain in his palm.

"It's relatively simple, it just needs a little time."

"No, you're mistaken, I am just an ordinary employee."

Zuo Sifei grabbed the Emperor by the collar, a smile appearing on his face: "I heard... that the Chairman of 'Sword Moving the Jianghu', Chairman Qian, likes to enter the game personally to experience it, and his greatest pleasure is playing the Emperor... You are Chairman Qian, aren't you?"

The most critical thing was that the speed of the strikes was incredibly astonishing, practically breaking the Human Limit!

Zuo Sifei was greatly alarmed, immediately released the Emperor, and focused his attention to respond.

A group of technical staff were busy constantly, processing data.

Opening it to look, there was a Nine Dragons Jade Wall inside, vivid and lifelike.

He lunged at the keyboard and operated it rapidly.

The Technical Director pushed up his glasses and replied.

"Ah... I'm about to be poisoned to death by Shui Mu Yin Hou!"

The Technical Director shook his head: "If they don't log off in time, even if you take away the data helmet, their consciousness may still remain within the game... The more I study Virtual Reality Technology, the more I feel that data is only the surface; the 'World Seed' we obtained from our predecessor is the key... It is like a real, pure consciousness world; the virtual helmet is just a key that allows a person's mental body to enter and roam that world... Therefore, it is not important. Perhaps... this really is alien technology..."

The technician had a bitter face: "Wait... we can let the mansion staff go and stop them."

"So powerful, this is truly a peak battle!"

"Big Brother, aren't we going to the Imperial Palace?"

A technician replied with a fawning smile: "The underlying data of Sword Moving the Jianghu is a rigorous Internal Energy wuxia world; there are no Warlocks who can calculate Heavenly Secret... Therefore, the best way to hide an item is to just find a random place to dig a hole and bury it, then let the person involved forget it themselves... We let the 'Xia Wang' find a random place to bury it, then kill the 'Xia Wang' directly in the Imperial Palace and delete that segment of data, guaranteeing that no one can find it... Hey, hey!"

"Understood, Boss!"

Even grazing against some meant death, and touching some meant perishing!

"Wait... we can discuss this!"

"Can't we just take off Dad's virtual helmet?" Qianbukong asked.

The technician was already so scared that his fingers were trembling.

"Where is the Nine Dragons Shadow Wall?"

Reality.

A flash of panic quickly crossed the Emperor's face.

And many players, knights-errant, and busybodies also gathered in the Forbidden City.

"Fine... I will go and publish the evidence immediately!"

"Wait... what about the Yin Hou? Where is my wife? I'm about to be poisoned to death by her, nobody fight me for it!"

But this time, it couldn't be done!

If you want to scare the people at the game company to death, you can just walk over and dig the thing out!

After all, you burying it casually and me digging it up casually are both probabilistic events!

Xia Wang Mansion back garden.

Main control room.

Zhuge Wudi let the three great Divine Catchers rush in to circle around Shui Mu Yin Hou, while he himself stood atop a high building, holding a strange crossbow, waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw.

Aaron wore a smile as if he had everything under control.

He gazed at the old eunuch in the purple robe: "This move of yours has at least five hundred years of cultivation... There is absolutely no one like you among the White Guest of the Sword Moving the Jianghu company. Did you hire outside help?"

Some NPCs did not dare to rush in rashly and could only stay on the roof beams of the houses outside, waiting for the live broadcast.

……

"Sigh... the company's firewall is still too poor, to think you could kill your way to here..."

A gentle breeze blew, revealing his handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, carrying a hint of evil amidst his uninhibited demeanor.

"Rest assured, we have hidden very well!"

If he were not the illegitimate son of Chairman Qian, he would have been removed long ago for committing such a mistake.

"Mental lock? How do you unlock this?"

Then, this person leaped up, instantly covering a distance of ten zhang!

Even for the absolute peak of the martial arts world, one could only leap ten zhang; this is the limit of the human body!

But that person stepped on his own long spear, exerted force suddenly, and actually leaped again, jumping onto the palace wall that was dozens of zhang high.

Chairman Qian was full of rage: "If you were not my son, I would have long ago..."

The guards at one of the palace gates were terrified and closed the heavy, copper-poured and iron-cast palace gate, locking it with a heavy iron padlock.

A palm that looked pale and as if it possessed magic grabbed the handle of the pitch-black long spear; his figure was incredibly swift, the person followed the spear, the spear thrust out like a dragon, and he killed his way through one Army Formation after another.

In an instant, the Imperial Palace was in complete chaos, as if thousands of huskies had broken in.

"If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit... do you really think that a Breaker can only act fiercely in the game?"

The Emperor sighed, but he was not particularly afraid.

Boom!

The next moment, a figure wearing a purple eunuch robe appeared, with a flash of green Light in his hand.

This is something that all Breakers avoid at all costs.

The commander of the imperial guards secretly groaned: "Why did this Breaker come too?"

However, it was easily resolved by him.

Inside the Sword Moving the Jianghu game company.

As the Chairman of the company, he had privileges; even in front of all the civil and military officials, he could log off whenever he wanted.

"Found it!"

As long as a probability exists, no matter how small, it means it is possible to happen!

Digging it out with one hoe, very reasonable!

Even Dachen would not dare to let them get close enough to be touched by a few fingers.

Those who rushed into it, except for those above the rank of Divine Catcher who protected their whole bodies with high-level Internal Energy, almost never came out!

After all... it's just playing a game.

He knew that even if he took the Emperor as a hostage, the other party would not care.

……

However, Aaron was still prepared to play a heart-pounding game with the other party, taking Dugu Jian to do carpet-style digging in the back garden; there was no need to make up a reason—do players need a reason for what they do?

"Chairman Qian, what should we do now?"

Bang!

The gate of a palace turned into fragments, and his figure, like a ghost, killed his way in, directly holding the Emperor, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, hostage.

Dugu Jian's eyes lit up.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Jian became even more motivated and finally dug up something next to the rockery.

"Everyone, don't come over, even a slight graze means death!"

Shui Mu Yin Hou is a woman; her Internal Energy is actually not considered very high, and the same goes for her martial arts.

Chairman Qian took a deep breath.

The technical director felt a lump in his heart; this was a determination to protect the illegitimate crown prince at all costs!
