Chapter 758: Stop the Attack (2/2, Please Subscribe)

"He, what is he doing?"

"Is that the traitor from the third team? Impossible! That inhuman speed…"

The other two captains, faces full of shock, muttered to themselves.

When they came back to their senses, they truly realized how terrifying the situation was.

"That traitor actually has such strength! If he's in league with the cheater…"

The first team captain who raised this thought only felt a chill run down his entire body.

A single Immortal-level cheater was already terrifying enough to require the full mobilization of the entire Joint Society headquarters.

Add to that a Fang Yue whose strength was unfathomable, and the outcome of this battle grew ever more unpredictable.

"This is troublesome… That traitor is going to defect to the cheater! That's why he suddenly defected! So it was all hidden, waiting for this very moment!"

The Second Team Captain's expression was uglier than ugly; given the strength Fang Yue displayed on the projection screen, almost no one present would be a match for him!

"No… you're wrong! Fang Yue, he didn't defect…"

Beside them, Qiu Dugu, standing next to Director Jiang, spoke slowly at this moment, his gaze firm: "…he's going to slay an Immortal!"

Slay an Immortal?!

The three captains turned to Qiu Dugu in unison, dumbfounded, finding it absurd.

Just Fang Yue alone, wanting to slay an Immortal?

Facing the cheater, their Joint Society had thrown out every trick, mustering the resolve to perish together with the cheater, fighting a great battle for three hundred rounds!

And now some guy who popped out of nowhere wants to slay an Immortal solo?

The three captains had wanted to refute Qiu Dugu, but thinking of the earlier surveillance footage and the current content on the projection screen, they fell silent.

In their hearts, they actually felt, faintly, that what Qiu Dugu said had some possibility to it!

Director Jiang quietly clenched his fist, his expression flickering between light and dark.

"How did things end up like this…"

Earlier, when Fang Yue left the team, Director Jiang had thought this guy was just a clown, running off with his tail between his legs.

But now he suddenly popped up again, displaying such terrifying strength.

This made his earlier judgment that Fang Yue was a cowardly traitor seem like a complete joke.

"How can this guy be this strong!"

"That speed—even with a Strange Artifact boost, it's too exaggerated."

"And even with a Strange Artifact boost, a human body couldn't withstand that kind of pressure."

Strange Artifacts can grant people special powers.

But in most cases, the human body itself remains at an ordinary person's level.

Only a small number of Strange Artifacts have the effect of modifying the human body, enhancing its constitution.

Clearly, in Director Jiang's view, Fang Yue was currently in a state boosted by a Strange Artifact.

Gritting his teeth, he said: "Regardless of whether Fang Yue is slaying an Immortal or not, we should immediately contact…"

Before Director Jiang could finish, a virtual screen suddenly appeared before him again.

What was displayed was none other than the Joint Society's President-General, Jiang Wanchun!

"P-President-General…"

The three captains and Qiu Dugu all revealed looks of astonishment.

"To make it short, I need to confirm immediately—is the person captured by the drone one of the operatives in this suicide squad?"

"Y-yes!"

"Is he still carrying out the mission to assassinate the cheater Su Bairong?"

"…N-not certain."

"…Understood, continue according to the original plan."

As he spoke, the President-General was about to cut the communication, but Director Jiang hurriedly spoke up and asked: "Wait! President-General, what about the matter with Fang Yue?"

"We will handle it."

After a pause, he tossed out that one line, and the communication was completely cut off.

The few exchanged glances for a while; no one spoke again, and following orders, each busied themselves with preparations.

Soon the helicopter took off, flying toward the coastline.

Though far behind Fang Yue's progress, it had at last set out.

Qiu Dugu gazed at the distant sea horizon below, his expression complicated.

"Before I knew it, he's already become this strong…"

Qiu Dugu still remembered when he first met Fang Yue, his own strength was evenly matched with Fang Yue's, even faintly surpassing it.

But now, he felt that even if President Qian himself came, he absolutely could not be Fang Yue's match.

That kind of speed, that kind of bodily resilience—couldn't be achieved by an ordinary Strange Artifact boost!

"Perhaps… that guy really can single-handedly kill an Immortal!"

……

On the other side, the President-General, having cut the communication, sat back down in his seat in the conference room.

Before him were two screens, enlarged to a certain magnification, playing on loop.

They were none other than the surveillance footage of Fang Yue charging out of the Joint Society base and charging out past the coastline.

And beside these two screens was a live broadcast—a black dot moving rapidly across the sea surface.

At the far end of the black dot's path, the deserted island in the distance, already washed by high-pressure missiles, with fire shooting into the sky and black smoke billowing, was faintly visible.

In the upper right corner of the screen, displayed by artificial intelligence rapidly calculating the black dot's speed and the island's position, the countdown to their final convergence was a mere thirteen seconds!

Drip. Drip.

The time changed to twelve seconds, then rapidly shifted to five seconds—the black dot was accelerating!

The previous speed still wasn't the black dot's limit!

"Is he an enemy… or a friend?"

President Jiang Wanchun, weighed down by many concerns, finally gave only one order—everything as usual!

Whether Fang Yue was enemy or friend, the plan to eliminate Su Bairong would not change in the slightest.

High-pressure missiles scouring the ground, drone swarms strafing, a nuclear warhead on standby, and the ultimate destruction plan of a massive seabed magma explosion.

Several preparations were steadily progressing.

He could not place all his hopes on a person whose background he didn't know, let alone put all his eggs in one basket.

Only… staring at the black dot on the screen, he always had a vague feeling…

This person was even stronger than Su Bairong at this moment!

"Listen to my order—pull up all of Fang Yue's files."

"The last registered record is… within the game, he possesses Xiantian Realm strength!"

"The uncanny object he possesses in reality is…"

The moment he saw the contents of the file, the president's pupils contracted.

"It's actually… it!"

On the screen, there suddenly appeared an ink wash painting.

In the painting, an ethereal, fairy-like woman held a roll of parchment in her hand, gazing into the distance, as if she lived beyond the mortal world's smoke and fire.

A red dot marked the parchment, with explanatory lines and a detailed description drawn out beside it.

"Name: Parchment."

"Grade: Transcendent."

"Current Holder: Fang Yue."

"Detailed Ability: Precognition."

The Parchment of Plum Rains…!

If it was that one…

"Pass down my order—temporarily halt the high-pressure missile and drone attacks!"

……

On the boundless sea surface, Fang Yue raced forward at top speed!

He was not a ninja; he had no chakra.

The reason he could move at high speed across the sea surface was sheer velocity!

With the support of his vast internal force, combined with the entanglement of 【Uncanny Value】, and paired with the Shadow Step technique, Fang Yue's speed reached the extreme—even racing across the sea surface was no problem.
