Chapter 250: Our Cangnan
Endless wind and snow, a dark red figure wielding dual blades flickered like a phantom among the many giants.
Two pitch-black chains extended from the Hall of Yama, connecting to the hilts of the dual blades. With each swing of the blades, eerie black light surged from the chains.
His figure swiftly darted in front of a Frost Giant. Before the giant could swing its oversized fist, he slashed at its chest, leaving a deep gash!
The black light from the chains surged again, and in the next moment, the Frost Giant seemed to have its soul drawn out, instantly losing all vitality!
One after another, the bodies of Frost Giants fell beneath Chen Muye’s blades, as if the dual blades had transformed into the deadly hooks of the black and white impermanence, claiming lives wherever they struck!
In the blink of an eye, he had killed several giants of the same rank, a display of power Chen Muye had never shown in front of the other members of Team 136.
After slaying several Frost Giants, the remaining giants finally began to regard this ant before them with seriousness. With a roar, endless frost condensed from the void, and they charged at Chen Muye, wielding frost weapons, one after another!
Great axes, broad swords, spears, shields…
The rolling cold air continuously gnawed at Chen Muye’s body, trying to slow him down, but in this forbidden wasteland, he seemed to have no physical form at all; no matter how intense the cold was, it did not hinder him in the slightest!
He lightly dodged several attacks, countering with a blade that took a giant’s soul, while the other blade swung fiercely, blocking another Frost Giant’s axe!
Clang—!!
A crisp ringing sound echoed as Chen Muye’s body was knocked back, and immediately three more Frost Giants surged forward, roaring as they swung their weapons!
At the same time, icicles burst from the ground, accurately aiming at his back!
Chen Muye’s expression changed slightly!
Just then, an ice-cold longsword whistled through the air, shattering the icicles behind Chen Muye. Seizing the opportunity, he positioned his dual blades against several giant axes, using their force to spin half a circle in mid-air and land steadily on the ground.
He turned to look back at the toll booth.
A figure draped in a black trench coat, with a face hidden beneath a hood, was walking toward him. He reached out into the void, and another ice-cold longsword materialized in his hand.
A gust of wind blew past, lifting his hood and revealing a pale, serene young face.
Chen Muye frowned slightly, “Who are you?”
An Qingyu adjusted his glasses, somewhat helplessly putting the hood back on, “Haven’t you been looking for me all along?”
“A thief?” Chen Muye seemed to realize something. “Why are you helping me?”
“Captain Chen, you’re overthinking it. I’m not trying to help you.” An Qingyu walked up beside him and slowly spoke, “I’m just fulfilling the duty of a citizen of Cangnan City.”
He squinted at the approaching Frost Giants, gripping the ice-cold longsword tightly, the surface of his glasses reflecting white light.
“After all… if my home is destroyed, I really have nowhere else to go.”
Chen Muye looked at him seriously, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
“You’re younger than I imagined. Young people… always have hope, even without miracles…”
“Miracles?” An Qingyu frowned slightly. “What are you talking about?”
“Nothing, perhaps you’ll understand later.” Chen Muye shook his head, his gaze returning to the Frost Giants before him as he charged out again!
An Qingyu followed closely behind!
The red and black figures plunged into the crowd of giants, like two longswords, instantly carving out two paths. An Qingyu agilely flashed to the top of a giant’s head, raising his ice-cold longsword high and fiercely cleaving through the giant’s skull!
Blood splattered onto An Qingyu’s glasses as he focused intently on the exposed giant brain, a layer of gray light covering his eyes.
He was analyzing!
“So this is the structure…” An Qingyu murmured to himself.
He raised his head and casually threw the ice-cold longsword, which instantly pierced a giant’s forehead. The moment the sword tip entered, the giant let out a painful howl and collapsed heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.
“Captain Chen!” An Qingyu called out to Chen Muye, who was skillfully slaughtering giants among them, “The fatal points are at the forehead and the spine!”
Chen Muye raised an eyebrow, pulling out the Star Blade embedded in a giant’s chest, calmly saying, “It doesn’t matter; for me, it’s always a one-hit kill.”
An Qingyu: …
“And there’s good news,” An Qingyu spoke again.
“What is it?”
“Your teammates have arrived.”
Hearing this, Chen Muye was taken aback. “What did you say?”
Whoosh—!!!
A spear, engulfed in rose-colored flames, fell from the sky, instantly piercing through a Frost Giant’s body and crashing to the ground, the flames dispersing large areas of surrounding ice!
A graceful figure draped in a red cloak lightly landed beside the spear, pulling it from the ground and flashing a smile at the dazed Chen Muye.
“Captain, didn’t expect this! We’re back!”
A lightweight gauzy garment gracefully covered their bodies. Chen Muye looked down at the familiar garment, murmuring, “The [Unfated Gauze]…”
He turned to look behind him, only to see Wu Xiangnan, Wen Qimo, Leng Xuan, and Si Xiaonan, who had somehow arrived at his side, all looking somewhat helpless.
“Captain, you actually sneaked us away; that’s a bit underhanded.” Wen Qimo grinned.
“I thought something was off about his expression at the time; I didn’t expect it to be a trap.” Wu Xiangnan sighed.
“Weren’t you already in the capital? How did you come back?” Chen Muye was stunned, incredulous.
Hearing this, the expressions of the four became somewhat awkward.
Wen Qimo scratched his head and couldn’t help but ask, “Captain, how much do you think it would cost to crash a Boeing 737?”
Chen Muye: …
“You guys… stole a plane and flew it back?!” Chen Muye’s mouth dropped open.
The four nodded.
“Captain, this expense should be reimbursed, right?” Wen Qimo asked again.
Chen Muye’s mouth twitched wildly. “It should, or maybe… it might be reimbursed.”
“That’s good.” The four sighed in relief simultaneously.
“Who would have thought that you, Chen Muye, would do something so foolish.”
Wu Xiangnan shook his head, walking up beside Chen Muye, with Wen Qimo, Leng Xuan, Si Xiaonan, Hong Ying, and the hooded An Qingyu beside him.
“A lone hero, what kind of hero is that?” Leng Xuan slowly spoke, glancing back at the distant city, continuing, “Cangnan is our Cangnan; if we’re to be heroes, Team 136 should do it together… shouldn’t we?”
Chen Muye opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn’t utter a word, only shaking his head helplessly and smiling bitterly.
“I really can’t do anything with you guys…”
“Then let’s be heroes together.”
An Qingyu turned his head, staring blankly at the group standing shoulder to shoulder before the surging giants. After a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
“Perhaps… this isn’t so bad?”
