Chapter 638: A Huge Profit

~8 min read 1,402 words

"What, you think you can just run away? In your dreams!"

"Impossible, how is it possible that you aren't affected in the slightest?"

Looking up at Shen Yu opposite him, the man's eyes were bright, showing no signs of his spirit being seized. This appearance made Dahuzi's heart sink again and again.

His own plan, it seemed, was not going to work!

"With just that little bit of mental impact, should I be affected?"

Silently raising his hand, at the same moment Shen Yu made this movement, in an instant, Dahuzi felt a wave of suffocation, a feeling of being close to death just like the one before.

"Impossible, impossible!" He desperately urged his treasure, but all his power was like a clay ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple.

His expression gradually collapsed; he knew that this time, he was truly finished.

The attack he had just launched while the opponent was caught off guard had no effect, and now that the other party was prepared, how could he possibly succeed again?

"Forgot to tell you, I use the Heaven and Earth Lock to seal myself, making it hard for external evils to invade. The greatest effect of this Heaven and Earth Lock is that it can isolate mental intrusion. Your mental power is useless against me!"

"This, how is this possible!" He had treasures, and the other party had methods too; wasn't this bullying?

Their organization had existed for so long, and only then had they saved up this little bit of wealth. But now, looking at it, how did he look like a bumpkin, while Shen Yu was the favored son?

Why! Their painstaking efforts, their sacrifices of everything they had to fight for, in the end, were not as good as someone else's effortless harvest.

The more he compared, the more heartbreaking the gap became; was there even a way for people to live!

"Shen Yu, Lord Shen, can you give me another chance? I can give the entire organization to you!"

"Sure, withdraw your mental defense!" Having reached this point, Shen Yu did not intend to waste any more words with him, and his mental power, vast as a boundless ocean, surged in frantically, wanting to crush the opponent's defense.

He only wanted the information in the other party's mind; even if he didn't know the weaknesses of those old monsters, having the information about their organization would suffice.

If he could wipe out this organization in one fell swoop, it would definitely bring him a significant harvest.

However, the other party seemed unwilling and resisted particularly fiercely.

"Lord Shen, must it be like this?"

"What do you think?"

"I think this is not good!" Suddenly raising his head to look at Shen Yu, Dahuzi jumped up with all his might, seemingly wanting to transmit something at this final moment.

However, this process was interrupted by Shen Yu. His palm fell lightly, without bringing up any strange phenomena, nor any terrifying destructive power that seemed to destroy the world.

There was only a breeze blowing in place, and then, Dahuzi's figure was worn away completely by this breeze, annihilated in the endless void.

"This, he just died?" Watching Shen Yu, who had made the move, the white-haired old man beside him, who had just recovered from his confusion, was stunned, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Of course, there was no affection between them, just some lamentation for the sorrow of being the weak.

The reason this leader kept him was not because of any deep affection; he was purely used for sacrifice.

To awaken a sleeping old monster, one to several experts must be sacrificed, using their power as an offering.

Likewise, they also served as food for these old monsters after they awakened.

During this period, the experts of their organization had already been killed off by seven or eight out of ten. Now that the leader was dead, the most likely outcome for the vast organization was to collapse right here.

However, the organizational structure of this group was too secretive; apart from the leader, even he only knew a little.

Now that the leader was dead, although this organization was no longer a threat, it was also much more hidden. To eradicate them in one go would likely not be a one-day task.

"Are you alright?"

"Many thanks, Lord Shen, I am fine!" Freed from the encirclement of dozens of Chess Pieces, the white-haired old man stood up with difficulty, his face deathly pale.

Although he said he was fine, only he himself knew the state of his body.

Having previously used a secret technique to unleash his power, his body was severely depleted, and he was likely not long for this world. Looking at Shen Yu again, he felt no awe or similar emotions.

Since he no longer cared about Life and Death, what else was there to care about? The only thing that surprised him was this Lord Shen Yu before his eyes.

He had long heard of his great name, but seeing him today, it far exceeded his imagination. He knew better than anyone how terrifying their leader was.

He was old after all; seeing such an expert, he actually felt no desire to compete or fight, but instead felt a sense of relief—what was that about?

"Uh, uh..." Suddenly, the white-haired old man subconsciously grabbed his own hand tightly.

Just at that moment, he suddenly felt something stirring in his chest, and the remaining power in his body seemed to be running wild uncontrollably.

His own blood, his life, seemed to be burning rapidly without control, and his whole body was swelling quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it exceeded the limit his body could withstand. When all the power condensed into one point, with a bang, it was as if a great explosion had formed on the spot.

The terrifying impact seemed to want to drown everything around it; once such power exploded without restraint, half of the Capital might be gone.

It turned out that Dahuzi hadn't wanted to transmit any message just now, but was merely trying to trigger the Seed buried deep within the white-haired old man's body.

When Shen Yu thought he had finished off the person, he would inevitably let his guard down at his most relaxed moment.

At this time, the power in the white-haired old man's body suddenly burned and condensed into a point before exploding, which would definitely catch him off guard.

These ruthless people, even in death, would never let Shen Yu have it easy.

Facing such a sudden explosion of power, one could either avoid its edge and dodge quickly. But if that happened, the explosion would inevitably spread, harming countless people.

Or Shen Yu could choose to resist the power head-on; no matter how strong he was, facing this unexpected close-range self-detonation, he would likely be affected to some degree.

Clearly, Shen Yu chose the latter, and he was not affected in the slightest. The Mountain and River Map had long since covered the surroundings, and as soon as the explosion began, it had already taken everything here into itself.

Afterwards, there was only a tremor within the Mountain and River Map, but it quickly returned to calm, and the scene remained peaceful as if nothing had happened at all.

It was just a pity for this white-haired old man; what happened just now was too fast, leaving him no time to be saved.

However, Shen Yu had actually already seen that the white-haired old man's origin was severely depleted, and even if he were saved, he likely wouldn't have many days left to live.

"Sigh!" With a soft sigh, Shen Yu could only mourn slightly for this white-haired old man, then whispered, "System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Future Eye!"

"Future Eye?" Seeing such a reward, Shen Yu's mind shook, and he looked at it a few more times, unsure. Only after confirming he hadn't misread it did he gasp in cold air.

This reward was truly fierce!

The eyes could see through the future, but this future was limited, to a mere ten seconds.

However, even ten seconds, for a top-tier expert, was enough to decide Life and Death, or even determine the direction of an event.

This wave that came, it wasn't just not a loss, it was a massive profit!
