The deep blue eye of wind that was hovering between Han Shaoyun's palms suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The members of Squad 136 were all stunned at the same time, and even Han Shaoyun himself was dumbfounded.
What about the eye of the storm?
What about my huge eye of the storm?
He was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Muye and the others, a smile appearing in his eyes:
"Well done."
Chen Muye:...
Just then, Lin Qiye seemed to remember something and looked into the distance. He saw a man in military uniform lift a corner of the Wujie Void, his body rippling with golden waves, and step into it with a stern face.
Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu followed obediently behind him.
"Arg! It's cold in here! Achoo!" Lin Xi Chen sneezed and rubbed her hands together. However, the corners of her lips curved up slightly when she realized Lin Qiye was looking at her.
"Xi Chen, why did you tell Brother Zhu snap his fingers just now?" Baili Pangpang asked Lin Xi Chen, sidling up to her.
Lin Xi Chen smirked, gave him a thumbs-up, and replied excitedly, "It's a girl's hunch!"
"Are you a cat?"
"..."
They ignored Baili Pangpang's teasing. When Lin Qiye saw Shen Qingzhu, his eyes lit up slightly, and he vaguely remembered what had just happened.
The eye of the storm created by Han Shaoyun is, in essence, just rapidly rotating and compressed air, while Shen Qingzhu's [Qi Min] can manipulate the air itself. For him, draining the air from a certain area is an extremely simple matter.
If we create a vacuum here, will your eye of the storm still exist?
Simply put, Shen Qingzhu's job is a perfect match for his major! Thanks to Lin Xi Chen's quick wit, she likely asked Shen Qingzhu to work his magic.
Even though Han Shaoyun is a strongman in the "Sea" realm, his [Great Wind Disaster] focuses more on "disaster" and is far inferior to Shen Qingzhu's [Qi Min] in terms of air control.
Perhaps this is why the sequence number for [Great Gale] is 079, while that for [Qi Min] is 068.
Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes, staring at Han Shaoyun who was suspended in the air. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he flashed directly above Han Shaoyun's head, clenched his right fist and punched out. Golden ripples spread, and he crashed down like a shooting star!
Boom—!!
A dull thud resounded, and Han Shaoyun was slammed to the ground like a cannonball, creating a crater several meters in radius on the road, with thick smoke billowing out.
Yuan Gang resembled a human-shaped battle Buddha, his body shimmering with golden light, his robes fluttering as he landed steadily in front of the deep pit where Han Shaoyun was, his fists pounding into the pit like raindrops.
Boom boom boom—!!
The earthquake trembled, and the cracks in the ground grew denser. When the entire street was about to collapse, Yuan Gang finally stopped punching.
He bent down, reached out and grabbed the collar of the dying Han Shaoyun, lifting him into the air.
"Former captain of the Suzhou City Night Watch squad, current thirteenth seat of [Believers], Han Shaoyun..." Yuan Gang, dressed in spotless military uniform, began to speak expressionlessly:
"You have fallen into my hands. For the rest of your life, you will repent in the Zhaijie Institute..."
Upon hearing this, the dying Han Shaoyun's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something. His blood-stained eyelids opened, and a look of despair and pleading appeared in his eyes.
Yuan Gang frowned slightly. Just then, a blade suddenly pierced through Han Shaoyun's heart, the edge protruding from his chest!
Yuan Gang's pupils suddenly contracted. He abruptly looked up at what was behind Han Shaoyun, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"Captain Chen, what are you trying to do?"
Chen Muye, cloaked in a cape, stood calmly behind Han Shaoyun, slowly pulling out the straight knife that had pierced Han Shaoyun's heart, and spoke softly:
"Kill."
"He is no longer a threat and is destined for confinement in the fasting quarters, his life and death to be decided by the court... By what right do you kill him?"
"He wanted to kill my team members, so he had to die." Chen Muye paused, then continued, "And for him, it would be a relief."
Yuan Gang frowned and looked at Han Shaoyun. He saw that Han Shaoyun had his head down, and a faint smile appeared on his blood-stained face. His lifeless eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance.
Yuan Gang released his grip.Han Shaoyun's body fell to the ground, blood flowing from his body. His heart had been pierced. An ordinary person would have died long ago, but as a "Sea" Realm expert, he was still clinging to life.
He looked at Chen Muye, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.
Chen Muye hesitated for a moment, then bent down and put his ear close to his mouth.
"Be careful... [Dreamer]... He will definitely come back... to kill that boy..."
After uttering the last word, Han Shaoyun's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lost all his breath.
After a long silence, Chen Muye straightened up, looked at the blood-red corpse lying in the snow, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Captain Chen, no matter what, this incident is against the rules." Yuan Gang calmly observed the scene and spoke in a deep voice.
"If you think I'm acting against the rules, then go ahead and complain to Shao Pingge." Chen Muye turned around nonchalantly and walked towards the rest of Squad 136.
"In Cangnan, I, Chen Muye... am the rule!"
Yuan Gang watched Chen Muyi's departing figure for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh...
"This guy still has such a temper..."
...
"Captain, what exactly is going on with Han Shaoyun?"
After putting away [No-Rule Void], Hongying moved closer to Chen Muye and asked in confusion.
Chen Muye was silent for a moment, then said, "Just a pitiful person controlled by the Church of the Ancient Gods."
"But it seems like he really wants to kill Qiye. Can those guys from the Ancient God Church control people so completely?" Hongying asked, tilting her head.Before Chen Muye could speak, Wu Xiangnan spoke first: "I know quite a bit about the contract of the Ancient God Church. It is said that once it is signed, it will be bound to the soul and truly begin to work from the mind itself."
"In other words, even if they are dissatisfied with the orders they receive, they cannot refuse or obstruct their execution in any way; their actions, words, and even thoughts must all be based on the premise of 'completing the order.'"
"Wouldn't that be the same as being a puppet?"
"Pretty much, except some people willingly become puppets and even enjoy it, while others are in agony..."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly and voiced the question that had been on his mind:
"If that's the case, then why did the Church of the Ancient Gods remove Han Shaoyun from the Night's Watch after taking control of him? Wouldn't it have been more effective to pretend he wasn't under control and infiltrate the Night's Watch?"
The others paused in their tracks.
Hongying stared wide-eyed at Lin Qiye in shock, "Brother Qiye, your thoughts... are so dark!"
"...Isn't this the standard approach?"
"Qiye is right." Chen Muye nodded slowly. "Although Han Shaoyun didn't stay with the Night's Watch, we can't rule out... the possibility that other [believers] are lurking within the Night's Watch."
