Chapter 524: Goodbye, Dean Lin
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course I do.” Chi Mu Zhao Kun lowered the brim of his hat to shield his red eye, smiling as he spoke, “I have wandered the world for twelve years… just for today.”
Lin Qiye stared into Chi Mu Zhao Kun’s eyes, but the red eye was already covered by the hat, and all he could see were the two tightly closed eyes.
He couldn’t understand what Chi Mu Zhao Kun was saying.
“Why? What is your purpose?” Lin Qiye asked.
“To follow the guidance of that great existence and fulfill His long-held wish.” Chi Mu Zhao Kun spread his arms wide, looking up at the sky, then placed his right hand over his heart, bowing deeply in a devout manner toward a certain direction.
Lin Qiye frowned, gazing at him for a moment before shaking his head and charging at him like lightning.
No matter what this “mystery” was hiding, today, he could not leave this immortal wooden cage alive.
While Team 007 was still surrounding the building, attempting to resolve the situation with force against the “Seer,” Lin Qiye and the others had already arrived here to set up.
From the existing intelligence, Lin Qiye understood very well that blindly pursuing like Team 007 would never catch a “mystery” that could predict the future. The opponent could continuously predict the trajectory of objects and determine whether he would fall into a predicament.
Once he predicted a future that was unfavorable to himself, he would unhesitatingly abandon that future and move on to the next place…
This was the reason he had been shifting positions, circling around the city.
And once he stopped running, there could only be one explanation… he was confident in counterattacking the pursuers and escaping unscathed.
Thus, upon learning that the opponent had given up fleeing and entered a construction site, Lin Qiye knew that Team 007 would never catch him, so he quickly moved to another construction site not far from there.
The location of this construction site was also carefully chosen by Lin Qiye.
He ensured that the distance between the two construction sites was within one kilometer, not exceeding Jiang Er’s movement range, while also ensuring that the “Seer” inside the building could not spy on this construction site and foresee Lin Qiye and the others’ preparations.
Therefore, the subsequent events became much simpler.
Lin Qiye summoned the ancient tree demon at this construction site, beginning to prepare the wooden cage, while Jiang Er quietly flew into the building, waiting for the right moment to act.
The “Seer” predicts the future, relying on the changes in the surrounding environment, and as a ghost, Jiang Er’s actions would not affect objects, so in the future she perceived, it was impossible for her to be foreseen.
When the “Seer” possessed Zhao Kun and relaxed for a moment, Jiang Er seized the opportunity to take control of his body, bringing him from his home ground to Lin Qiye and the others’ territory.
Ultimately, Chi Mu Zhao Kun countered Team 007 thanks to the home ground advantage; he perfectly grasped the rhythm of the battle based on his predictions of the building’s future.
However, here with Lin Qiye, Chi Mu Zhao Kun’s precognitive ability was completely sealed off, rendering him unable to effectively predict the future.
Lin Qiye also entered the wooden cage without weapons because he was concerned that the opponent could foresee the trajectory of his attacks, thus predicting his movements and causing a counterproductive effect.
He did not allow others to intervene in this battle, partly out of concern that having too many people would be exploited by the “Seer,” leading to chaos like that of Team 007, and partly because Lin Qiye worried it would invade others’ mental strength again, occupying their bodies.
Lin Qiye had the protection of the Hospital of the Gods, but his other teammates might not withstand it.
Now the biggest problem was how to kill the “Seer” without harming Zhao Kun’s body.
With each step Lin Qiye took on the wooden cage, lush green grass spread out beneath his feet, covering the wooden surface like a tide. With the blessing of Jialan’s “Immortal,” Lin Qiye did not need to worry about the wooden cage collapsing under his strength.
Flowers bloomed at Chi Mu Zhao Kun’s feet.
Chi Mu Zhao Kun’s eyes swept over the flowers and grass, his expression slightly tightening. Although these plants were manifested from the Forbidden Ruins, they still possessed life, and he could not use them to predict the future.
He sighed helplessly, gripping his staff, and charged at Lin Qiye, who was barehanded.
The heavy staff sliced through the air, emitting a low hum. Lin Qiye quickly sidestepped, avoiding the heavy blow, and used the momentum to lift his right leg, swiftly kicking toward the red eye on Chi Mu Zhao Kun’s forehead!
According to An Qingyu’s analysis, that eye was likely the true form of the “Seer.”
Chi Mu Zhao Kun reached out to grasp the air, and a large amount of water vapor condensed from the atmosphere, forming a high-frequency vibrating water blade that sliced toward Lin Qiye’s chest in an instant.
At the same time, the red eye on his forehead had already foreseen the future of this water blade.
This water blade would tear Lin Qiye’s clothes but would not draw blood; after six seconds, the water blade would evaporate due to high temperatures, disappearing completely…
In an instant, Chi Mu had already discerned the fate of this water blade.
Sure enough, upon seeing the water blade, Lin Qiye quickly retreated. The blade’s edge grazed his shirt, tearing a rip but failing to break his skin.
“Red Flame Burns the Cloud, Flame Vapor Seals the Void.” Lin Qiye spoke, calmly reciting a line of poetry.
In the next moment, raging flames erupted from the void around him, instantly evaporating a significant portion of the water blade, and the temperature inside the wooden cage rapidly rose, the air quickly drying out.
At this point, it was impossible for Chi Mu Zhao Kun to draw moisture from the air.
Lin Qiye stepped in front of Chi Mu Zhao Kun, his eyes suddenly shining with brilliant golden light, the overwhelming divine might of the Seraphim pouring into the red eye on the opponent’s forehead!
The “Seer” attached to Zhao Kun was itself at the ‘Limitless’ realm. Although the divine might Lin Qiye released was fierce, it posed no threat to him. Under the impact of the divine might, he regained his senses in just half a second.
But in that half second, Lin Qiye’s tightly clenched right hand suddenly opened, revealing a black ring shimmering with ghostly light in his palm.
“The Soul Severing Blade”!
The red eye on Zhao Kun’s forehead suddenly contracted!
Lin Qiye had been gripping this blade from the very beginning, so Chi Mu Zhao Kun could not foresee the existence of this ring, let alone predict its future. Lin Qiye used this method to once again deceive his precognition.
In that moment, he foresaw the future of the Soul Severing Blade, but… he no longer had time to respond.
A streak of pitch-black blade light erupted from the ring, piercing directly into the red eye on Zhao Kun’s forehead, shredding the very soul of the “Seer” into fragments!
The shadow attached to Zhao Kun flowed to the ground like a tide, and the red eye pierced by the “Soul Severing Blade” quickly lost its luster.
“Finally… I have waited for this moment…”
From the gradually fading shadow, a faint and calm voice echoed,
“Goodbye, Director Lin…”
