Chapter 1519: A Truly Heavy Hand

"Zhang Ke, you, what has happened to you?" Professor Huang was shocked and hurriedly retreated with his assistants, keeping a far distance from Zhang Ke.

"No need to pretend anymore, this feeling is truly good." Zhang Ke muttered to himself, then moved his stiff stomach and said to himself: "This kid, he really hit hard just now."

"So, is this your way of showing your cards?" Chen Yu sneered: "Then I would like to ask, when were you corrupted by Jiutun?"

"Shut up, is the name of the Exalted God Jiutun something you can call?" Zhang Ke's expression turned fierce, and he hissed: "The power bestowed upon me by the Exalted God Jiutun is something you ordinary people will never be able to understand."

"Indeed, your own soul has been sold, and you will be a slave forever; this kind of power is indeed hard for me to understand. Can power obtained by selling oneself really be called power?" Chen Yu stared at him: "Will you end it yourself, or shall I send you on your way?"

"Haha, aren't you too confident?" Zhang Ke laughed: "I'm afraid you don't know how formidable my power is right now, do you?"

"You are right, I truly do not know how formidable your power is, and I have no interest in knowing." Chen Yu smiled: "What did Jiutun want by controlling you and having you infiltrate the research team?"

"Heh, nothing more than to enter the interior of Huaxia and steal some core items. Unfortunately, I was discovered by you." Zhang Ke said with a chuckle: "But it doesn't matter. Since I have been exposed, none of you will be able to leave."

"Aren't you being a bit too confident?" Chen Yu couldn't help but say: "I don't know how long Jiutun has been asleep, and this is merely a clone of his. Even if he awakens, he is very weak. You obtained a bit of his power and want to keep us all here?"

"He is a god. Even a little bit is the power of a god. Isn't keeping you here an easy task?" Zhang Ke laughed loudly and pointed at Chen Yu: "I represent the god and shall take your life."

His words sounded like a chant, carrying an eerie and bewitching feeling. In an instant, a mysterious power, like a Curse, attacked from all directions, surrounding Chen Yu.

"Die." Zhang Ke roared and clenched his right hand, assuming that with this clench, he could instantly finish off Chen Yu.

However, as his right hand clenched, Chen Yu still stood there smiling, unmoved.

"How is this possible?" Zhang Ke's expression changed. He had clearly used his power just now, so why was Chen Yu acting as if nothing had happened?

"You can try again." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Your so-called power of a god is indeed unusual, but it is still lacking."

"Die..." Zhang Ke roared, using both hands at once. He exerted all his strength to bring out the bit of power Jiutun had bestowed upon him, attempting to finish off Chen Yu, yet this time, there was still no movement.

"Do you have any other tricks?" Chen Yu smiled slightly: "If you don't, then it's my turn."

"How is this possible? How could the power of the Great God Jiutun have no effect on you? I don't believe it, this is fake, this must be fake." Zhang Ke was on the verge of a breakdown.

"The real cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be real. Since you have nothing else, then it is my turn." Chen Yu joined his fingers into a Sword Finger and pointed forward.

Sword Qi condensed and whistled toward Zhang Ke's chest. With a soft 'chi' sound, a burst of Primordial Qi pierced through his heart.

Eerie sparks flickered at Zhang Ke's heart. He stared blankly at his own chest, only to see that where his heart should have been, there was nothing.

Thump... He fell heavily to the ground, struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.

"What on earth is going on? Zhang Ke was clearly with us the whole time, how could he have become like this?" Professor Huang was heartbroken.

His assistants left one after another. These were his students; although he didn't like Zhang Ke's character, these students were all cultivated by him personally. Now that they were dead, how could he not be heartbroken?

"People with crooked minds are easily controlled by the other side. Your student's character was never very good, was it?" Chen Yu said indifferently: "So it is normal that his mind was influenced by Jiutun's power."

"But he was a perfectly normal person before, how could he be like this?" A female assistant couldn't help but cry out; she was terrified.

"Look at him, his heart is already gone; it was taken by Jiutun. This guy just woke up and needs a large amount of blood and flesh." Chen Yu said: "And for Jiutun to take a person's heart is just a matter of an instant, so don't dwell on these things. The losses this time are so great, it is time to go back."

"Professor Huang, we have already cleared the system from the outside. Now we can take the elevator to the sea surface. It is safe up there. Take the important data and hurry to leave with us."

Professor Huang nodded. He was heartbroken over the loss of so many people, but since the matter had already occurred, there was nothing he could do. Now he could only leave this place with the data; otherwise, these colleagues would have sacrificed themselves in vain.

After taking the data, the group arrived at the elevator, and just at this moment, Chen Yu felt something and turned his head to look behind him.

In the corridor behind, the lights flickered, and a gust of Yin energy rushed toward them from that direction.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chen Yu stop, Su Yan also stopped and asked.

"Don't ask too much, you go first." Chen Yu said: "No need to wait for me."

"But the power system here is only enough for one trip to the surface." Su Yan was shocked: "The power system has been damaged, and it is very troublesome to repair."

"There is an Escape Pod over there. Don't worry about me, hurry and go, otherwise, no one will be able to leave." Chen Yu's tone became serious.

Looking at Chen Yu's serious expression, Su Yan gritted her teeth and nodded heavily: "Take care of yourself, stay safe."

"Hurry and go, it will be too late if you don't." Chen Yu comforted her, then looked behind him.

"Go." Su Yan took a deep look at Chen Yu, then led the others into the elevator, pressed the backup power switch, and the elevator whistled upward.

After everyone left, a powerful aura came from the corridor over there. No one was seen, but a trail of blood-colored footprints appeared on the ground.

At the same time, a cold aura locked onto Chen Yu. Chen Yu stared ahead, gripping Lichen tightly in his hand.

"This is a... Dharma Cultivator?" A surprised voice rang out, and immediately after, a man with red hair and an eerie appearance appeared.
