Chapter 366: Chapter 366: If He Waits in Vain for Yun Sheng Any Longer, He Will Become a Mindless Walking Corpse

The black hovercar drove smoothly along the road. Inside the quiet cabin, Yun Sheng listened to Xing Che’s deliberately softened, pitiful voice through the receiver. She pursed her lips slightly, not responding immediately.

She looked up at Si Jin beside her. Though she didn’t say a word, the hesitation and inquiry in her eyes were exceptionally clear. Si Jin understood her thoughts at a glance. With a calm and gentle expression, he said in a low voice, "Xing Che’s location is safe for now. If you want to go to him, then go."

Having received his tacit approval, Yun Sheng nodded and asked softly into her terminal, "Is it really that unbearable?"

The other end of the line instantly went quiet, all traces of his deliberately weak tone vanishing. After a few seconds of silence, Xing Che’s hoarse and solemn voice slowly came through. Stripped of any feigned pitifulness, only genuine exhaustion and tension remained.

"It really is serious. The cracks in my spiritual landscape have widened significantly. I could barely suppress the occasional spiritual riots before, but I’ve had two consecutive riots this morning. I almost couldn’t rein in the overflowing spiritual power." He paused, his tone filled with sincere helplessness and earnestness. "Yun Sheng, only your spiritual power is compatible with mine, and only you can guide me and alleviate this spiritual riot. Is it... convenient for you to come over right now?"

This time, there was no whining, no weakness, and no deliberate playing the victim. Every word pointed to a genuinely critical situation. Yun Sheng’s heart sank instantly, and she replied with crisp seriousness, "Okay, I’ll head over right now."

Hanging up the call, she kept her brows tightly knitted, her face full of worry. "From the sound of his voice, it really is severe."

"Don’t panic. The fact that he can still call you while conscious means he can control it for now." Si Jin glanced sideways at the worried Yun Sheng and calmly added, "We’ll go there right now."

Yun Sheng nodded, feeling much more at ease. The hovercar quickly turned around. With a low roar of its engine, it accelerated and sped toward Xing Che’s residence.

Night enveloped the city roads, and the lights and shadows along the way rapidly retreated. The cabin remained quiet. Yun Sheng lowered her eyes slightly, secretly worrying about Xing Che’s condition.

Before they had driven far, Si Jin’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he caught something in the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye. Unbeknownst to them, two black hovercars had tailed them. They hung unhurriedly behind, but the distance between them was steadily closing. Their driving trajectory was exceptionally bizarre, completely unlike normal commuting vehicles.

"Sit tight. Hold on," Si Jin warned in a low voice, his tone instantly turning cold and heavy, shedding all its previous gentleness.

As soon as he spoke, the two hovercars behind them suddenly accelerated, approaching side-by-side from the left and right. It was clearly a deliberate interception. They pressed straight toward the sides of their vehicle, intending to force them to stop. By this time, Si Jin had already switched off the autopilot and was constantly accelerating in manual mode.

Yun Sheng’s heart tightened. She immediately gripped the handle beside her, her body subconsciously stiffening.

Si Jin reacted incredibly fast. With a sharp flick of his wrists on the steering wheel, the car nimbly slid sideways, narrowly avoiding the impact from the vehicle on the left.

But the pursuers were relentless! The two hovercars took turns pressing forward, ramming and squeezing them, constantly blocking their path. They viciously attempted to force them into a blind corner by the side of the road to completely trap the vehicle.

"It’s highly likely they’re from the Dark Nest!" Si Jin’s eyes were piercingly cold. Instead of slowing down, he sped up, weaving through the traffic to break out of the encirclement. "They must have figured out our movements and want to force us to stop. I’m afraid they’re trying to capture you!"

The attackers had clearly planned this. Their heavily modified cars possessed explosive speed and clung tightly to their tail, impossible to shake off. The repeated fierce rams and collisions caused the hovercar to rock back and forth, making the entire cabin jolt violently. Yun Sheng braced herself tightly and looked back at the two relentlessly pursuing cars, her heart racing.

"Should we notify Bai Ye for backup?"

"There’s no time." Si Jin’s gaze was sharp as he kept his eyes glued to the road ahead, remaining completely calm throughout the ordeal. "They want to end this quickly and intercept us halfway. Sit tight and don’t let go!"

In the next second, he suddenly accelerated. At the exact moment the two cars moved to box them in again, he pinpointed the gap between them, swerved sharply to overtake, and forcefully burst out from the pincer movement.

The two cars behind missed their mark, immediately adjusting their course to continue the chase with even more ferocity. Unfazed by the relentless pursuit, Si Jin’s eyes surged with chilling intent, his rhythm completely undisturbed. He deftly controlled the steering wheel with one hand. Taking advantage of a slightly sparser gap in the traffic, he accelerated and changed lanes several times in a row. The hovercar was as nimble as a blur, continuously widening the distance between them and their pursuers.

The two modified hovercars behind were completely driven to desperation. They sprinted at top speed with reckless abandon, biting hard onto the tail, intending to ram and force them to stop once more.

Catching the approaching front bumpers in his peripheral vision, Si Jin’s eyes turned cold. Calculating the perfect moment, he sharply tapped the brakes.

The sudden deceleration caught the closely tailing cars completely off guard. To avoid rear-ending them, the first pursuing car frantically yanked its steering wheel. Its chassis instantly lost control, drifting and violently crashing into the guardrail by the road, wedging itself immovably against the metal barrier. The second car right behind it couldn’t dodge in time and slammed heavily into the out-of-control leading vehicle.

The two cars collided head-on, their front ends instantly crumpling as they completely lost their ability to give chase. The ear-piercing sound of the crash echoed from afar, leaving the chaos entirely in the dust.

Without a single moment of hesitation, Si Jin immediately accelerated again. The hovercar shot out of the road section like an arrow released from a bow, steadily merging back into the main traffic flow.

With the danger left behind, peace finally returned to the cabin. Yun Sheng’s tense body slowly relaxed, a thin layer of sweat already coating her back. She let out a breath and said softly, "Thank goodness we shook them off."

Si Jin’s expression remained calm and composed, the coldness in his eyes yet to dissipate as he spoke coolly. "It was just a temporary interception. The Dark Nest’s actions are becoming increasingly hurried."

Yun Sheng replied, "They probably failed on both Xing Che and Mo Chen’s ends, so now they’re jumping the wall in desperation like a cornered beast. We need to hurry over to Xing Che. His condition is extremely poor right now. If he completely loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, if he can recover smoothly, he will be a powerful asset to us."

Si Jin nodded slightly, a solemn look in his eyes. Accelerating once more, he sped rapidly toward Xing Che’s residence.

Xing Che hadn’t expected that in the few short minutes after hanging up the phone, his previously intermittent spiritual disorder would suddenly and drastically deteriorate.

Throbbing, piercing pain radiated from his temples, as if countless needles were viciously stabbing his brain. The agony made his whole body tremble and his vision turn black. His spiritual power, which he had barely managed to stabilize, completely broke through its restraints, rioting wildly and surging recklessly, rampaging through his spiritual landscape.

He exhausted all his strength to suppress it, but all his resistance proved futile. The chaotic spiritual power constantly leaked out, repeatedly battering his defensive lines of consciousness.

The lights in his room began to flicker crazily, and the surrounding air violently vibrated along with it. Desks and chairs shifted slightly. The entire space was completely enveloped by his out-of-control spiritual power.

Xing Che gritted his teeth so hard that blood seeped from the corners of his lips. His forehead was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat, and his face was frighteningly pale and bloodless. Slumped against the headboard of his bed, his muscles were tense and trembling, and his consciousness began to drift into a hazy, scattered state.

He knew clearly that he was nearing his absolute limit. If he didn’t receive Yun Sheng’s guidance soon, his spiritual landscape would completely collapse. He might even fall into becoming a Dark Sentinel right then and there, turning into a mindless walking corpse!
