Chapter 636: We Just Chose Different Paths

"How could I have this feeling?"

In the distance, the Dahuzi in the teahouse suddenly shuddered, standing abruptly by the window, looking toward the direction of the Chen Mansion with some uncertainty.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of palpitations. His expression then turned gloomy and uncertain; he did not know where this sudden sense of crisis had come from.

Having reached his level of cultivation, a premonition of danger was by no means groundless; there must be a reason for it. Moreover, this extremely intense unease must be a crisis of Life and Death.

Yet, he could not detect the slightest source, which was the most worrying part.

Seeing Dahuzi reveal such an expression, the white-haired old man trapped by the Chess Piece suddenly laughed; this was the first time he had seen their leader show such an expression.

"You are afraid!"

"Ridiculous, would I be afraid? What in this World could possibly make me afraid?"

"Is that so?" Originally, after learning that Guo Yi was a Chess Piece planted by the other side, the white-haired old man had been worried all along.

After all, Guo Yi was the most trusted of Chen Xing's confidants, the kind one would never suspect.

To be betrayed by such a confidant was like a dagger thrust straight into the heart; he could hardly imagine how Lord Chen could break the situation and manage to survive.

However, seeing Dahuzi's current expression, he suddenly stopped worrying. He knew the other party was feeling guilty, was afraid!

"That is Lord Chen Xing, do you really think you can win? For so many years, when has Lord ever lost?"

Recalling the various deeds of Lord Chen in the past, the white-haired old man felt his confidence returning.

Looking up at this leader who seemed to be pretending to have victory in his grasp, the white-haired old man smiled lightly, his face seemingly carrying a bit more mockery.

"You have perhaps forgotten the fear that the court officials were dominated by Lord back then! Suppressing the imperial court for decades with his own strength, with no one in the civil and military ranks daring to resist, what do you think he relied on? Was it just force?"

"Playing schemes with Lord, Lord possesses an upright and righteous momentum; can you compare to that!"

"A man on the verge of death!" He glanced at the white-haired old man with cold eyes; if not for the fact that keeping his life was still of some use, he would have already moved to cut him down.

Gazing into the distance, toward the direction of the Chen Mansion, he did not know why the sense of crisis in his heart was becoming increasingly intense.

"Something is wrong!" After realizing something was amiss, Dahuzi began trying to control Guo Yi in the distance, but he discovered that his Mental Power seemed unable to penetrate there at all.

Only then did he feel that something major was wrong; who could possibly deceive even him? Just moments ago, he clearly hadn't felt any abnormalities there.

Even all along, he had assumed Guo Yi was under his control. But he had not expected that Guo Yi had already broken free from his control.

The most terrifying thing was that he didn't even know it; in his subconscious, he had always thought he was the one controlling the other party.

His figure rose into the air, the space in front of him seemed to distort, as if in the next moment, he would Void Breaking and leave.

But then, the space seemed to be hit by some kind of impact and closed completely, and Dahuzi fell from mid-air to the ground. His face was covered in cold sweat before he even knew it.

The terrifying aura that had flashed by just now made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, cold from the inside out.

"Shen Yu!" He raised his head abruptly; in his impression, Shen Yu was the only one who could leave such a terrifying impression on him.

"Smart!" Suddenly, a voice flooded into Dahuzi's ears. A young man stood before him, looking at him coldly.

"It really is you!" As the greatest enemy in his heart second only to Mu Zishan, he was naturally clear about Shen Yu's appearance. When he saw the face of the person before him, Dahuzi's pupils could not help but shrink violently.

Guessing is one thing, facing it is another. If possible, he never wanted to face these freaks head-on.

It was better to leave the suicidal work to his subordinates; why should he have to show his face?

If not for the fact that he was facing Chen Xing this time, and if not for the fact that he wanted to watch this old fellow die with his own eyes, why would he have come to the Capital, why would he have taken action personally.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood sprayed out violently; Dahuzi only felt as if a mountain ten thousand fathoms high had been placed on his back in an instant.

That irresistible, terrifying pressure seemed to want to crush him, causing him to suffer heavy injuries in an instant.

He had once thought about how terrifying Shen Yu might be, and he had thought countless times about how he would escape if he ever faced Shen Yu.

But he had never thought that he wouldn't even have the qualifications to make the other party move. The man just stood there, and it had already sealed all his escape routes and caused him to be severely injured.

So, was Shen Yu truly this terrifying? He had only felt this kind of despairing, great terror when facing Mu Zishan in the past.

It was just that when he saw Mu Zishan back then, he was only a young, nameless nobody. But now, he had long since achieved success and stood among the peaks of the World.

Yet, not only had this gap not narrowed, why did it feel even further away?

No wonder even those revived old fellows had one by one met their end at the hands of Shen Yu; no wonder even that one who was accidentally released and loved to toy with human hearts was no match for him at all.

Dahuzi did not know that the power of the Mountain and River Map's thousand mountains and ten thousand waters was not something a True Soul Realm expert like him could resist. How could human power contend against the power of a World?

"So you are their leader!" After just one look at the other party, Shen Yu lost interest; people always say villains die from talking too much.

Facing this kind of trash, why waste words? Just strike with one palm, and everything can be settled once and for all.

"I have long wanted to find you; I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep. That is fine, it saves me quite a bit of trouble!"

The power of the Mountain and River Map pressed down completely, enveloping Dahuzi; in the next instant, the power of the Mountain and River Map would crush him.

"Wait! I can tell you the weaknesses of those old fellows; don't you want to know these?"

After shouting these words, the power that had been causing his heart to palpitate and was pressing down on him indeed disappeared temporarily.

Lying on the ground, Dahuzi gasped for air, cold sweat dripping from his face drop by drop. Just now, in that very instant, he felt as if he had truly already died.

Almost, just a little bit more; this feeling of Life and Death not being under his own control was truly terrible.

"You know the weaknesses of those old monsters?"

"Of course I know. I not only know their weaknesses, but I also know their preferences. If I don't cater to them like this, how can I survive when the Spirit Qi Surge arrives?"

"If Lord Shen is willing, I can also serve you!"

This momentary expression of sycophancy made Shen Yu feel a sense of discomfort. He was an expert, after all; how could his expression and actions as a lackey be so practiced?

"Are you really that willing to be a dog for others?"

"Of course I am not willing. I also know what the Spirit Qi Surge means for me; it means endless sinking, it means the total loss of dignity!"

"But so what? It's just being a dog; once you get used to it, it's fine!"

His face, twisted by pain, was full of disdain, and Dahuzi even sneered, "But that means living, living! Even if it is living like a walking corpse!"

"As for dignity? How much is dignity worth? Shen Yu, is your dignity really worth anything? Compared to living, any dignity is bullshit!"

"How many people look impassioned and fearless of Life and Death? But when the real moment of Life and Death arrives, they are always the first to kneel. I am different from them; I knew what I wanted from the very beginning!"

"Shen Yu, we just chose different paths; how do you know that my path is wrong!"
