Chapter 236: Broken Horizon
In the blinding light that felt like it could tear his skin apart, Zhang Ze saw Red Ghost charging towards him in a single swift stride, and he was unable to react.
Before he knew it, he found himself with a knife pressed against his neck, only to see the blade being pushed across, leaving a streak of light.
Zhang Ze instantly felt hopeless.
He felt like everything was over.
The next moment, he saw Red Ghost again.
He saw the beams of light glowing in the opponent’s eyes as they charged towards him with a swift stride and a sweeping blade.
Over and over again.
Zhang Ze kept repeating the process of being killed by Red Ghost.
Finally, he broke down.
No one could stay calm watching themselves being killed over and over again.
Especially, this process seemed to be stuck in a never-ending cycle.
There would never be an end.
Zhang Ze screamed with his hands on his head.
His features twisted, eyes bulging.
At that moment.
He saw Red Ghost charging towards him again.
If he ever had thoughts of resisting before.
After being wiped out repeatedly.
He gave up.
Anyway, death is just another beginning of a new cycle.
Red Ghost’s figure approached.
Swinging his sword.
Zhang Ze felt a chill on his neck, then his hot blood sprayed out.
Something’s wrong!
A thought flashed through Zhang Ze’s mind.
He remembered the cycles of ‘reincarnation’ before.
He was killed, but there was no blood.
Why this time though…
The next moment.
Zhang Ze struggled to breathe, gasping for air like a fish out of water.
Yet he couldn’t catch any air.
He collapsed backwards.
Finally realizing that this time, death was real.
Do not return to the cycle again.
No need to repeat the previous scenes again.
A sudden thought struck him.
Is this way not good too?
Splash.
Zhang Ze’s body fell heavily to the ground.
Luo Yan finally exhaled a breath with a deep chill.
Although Zhang Ze had gone through countless cycles just now.
Those experiences seemed endless.
Actually, it was just a snap of the fingers.
All because those experiences happened in his mind.
But the scenes in reality were different.
Luo Yan’s eyes glinted, then he stepped forward and slashed at Zhang Ze’s neck with a knife.
Zhang Ze fell into a nightmarish cycle because he was struck by Luo Yan’s deadly skill.
‘Broken Horizon’!
In the book “Ming Feng Ji Zou Wei Xia Gu” by an anonymous author, it says, “This unspoken love already brings tears, from now on, goodbye, Broken Horizon.”
This phrase describes the sorrow of parting.
But when Luo Yan unleashed it, he used his gaze to affect Zhang Ze’s mind, plunging him into endless torment.
With all his focus gone, Zhang Ze was easily defeated by Luo Yan without putting up any resistance.
Now Luo Yan can only roughly use this powerful technique, and it can bring great success.
Due to a series of factors such as Zhang Ze being poisoned, bleeding, and severely injured.
His wavering mind left him vulnerable to attack.
If this move is used before the battle, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced, possibly just causing Zhang Ze to feel confused for a moment.
But then again.
If Luo Yan can master this powerful technique perfectly, it would be the best opening move.
And by then, once his mind is penetrated by this technique, the impact would be more than just superficial.
Those with weaker willpower, if hit by this move, may have their mental strength completely erased, turning into a mindless “walking dead”.
Let’s talk about now.
Luo Yan successfully defeated Zhang Ze, who was one level higher than himself.
But winning was not easy at all.
He used toxins, secret techniques, dragon transformation, and martial arts.
The only card he had left, the ‘Original Soul Shadow’, was not used.
He had already played out all the other cards.
Only then he managed to defeat the Captain of Team 7 from the Black Abyss Department.
Besides that.
Although he relied on the powerful body of the ‘Dragon Transformation’ and the high defense effect of ‘Viewing the Mountains and Seas’.
So that they can fight back against a powerful opponent without retreating.
But they also got injured in many parts of their body, and their body was invaded by the cold energy released by Zhang Ze’s icy martial arts.
If it wasn’t for the ‘Dragon Transformation’ stance, just relying on the ‘Viewing the Mountains and Seas’ technique, Luo Yan would probably have already had his blood coagulated and his internal organs damaged.
At this moment.
Several cars roared down the street and stopped near the hotpot stall.
The car doors opened, and women wearing white suits and carrying Tang swords came out of the cars one by one.
They lined up in two rows.
Yu Qiushui finally got out of the car and walked over.
They entered the hotpot stall.
He took a quick look at Zhang Ze lying in dirty water and fresh blood.
There was no expression on his face.
Luo Yan picked up the box containing a chicken heart shaped jade pendant, which was indeed Yu Qiushui’s belonging.
After getting Yu Qiushui’s ‘approval’ last night, she lent this jade pendant to Luo Yan to gain Zhang Ze’s trust.
Luo Yan threw the box over.
Yu Qiushui caught it.
She chuckled and put away the jade pendant inside.
“You have succeeded after all.”
“Very good.”
“I will support you to become the Captain of Team 7.”
“I promise you, I will do what I said.”
“I will sort this out later.”
“You go ahead first.”
“I will clean up afterwards.”
Luo Yan put the ‘Ring Dragon’ back into his backpack.
As he passed by Yu Qiushui, she tossed a bottle of potion to him.
“Hurry and use it, it will cure the chill in your body.”
Luo Yan caught it, glanced at Yu Qiushui, and did not use it immediately.
She simply nodded in thanks and quickly left.
Yu Qiushui chuckled and said, “You are cautious.”
Then she gestured, “Clean up this place.”
After that, she left the food stall and got back into the car.

The next day.
Luo Yan showed up at the headquarters of Green Sun Corps.
Reported what happened last night.
Of course, he held back.
For example, he didn’t reveal the ‘Dragon Transformation’ card.
Also, he attributed Zhang Ze’s death more to Yu Qiushui’s actions and assistance.
Anyway, the team couldn’t confront Yu Qiushui.
So Luo Yan told the lie without any sign of guilt or hesitation.
Zeng Guangming nodded heavily after hearing it, “According to what you said, this woman Yu Qiushui is indeed extraordinary.”
“You did well.”
“Although with that woman’s help and planning, it’s still unexpected to be able to fight and kill a senior level captain.”
“Heiwu, you keep following this line.”
“Make sure to find out the current size, strength, and goals of this organization.”
Luo Yan nodded.
Zeng Guangming added, “By the way, these days, Chu Zhao contacted the underground city.”
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows.
Zeng Guangming said, “He doesn’t know what cards he’s holding, yet he’s asking the underground city for support to reclaim the business and guild taken by Hong Dongxing.”
“As well as handing you over.”
“The underground city naturally refused and ordered him to return immediately, voluntarily confessing about the research on ‘bioweapons.'”
Luo Yan said, “He won’t come back.”
Zeng Guangming smiled, “It’s certain that he won’t cooperate with the underground city.”
“So now, we are trying to track his whereabouts.”
“Once we find his hiding place, we will launch a lightning attack!”
