Chapter 477: Chapter 284: Points of Doubt

"..."

Su Xing stared at the empty space, at a loss for words. He had tried countless methods, but all of them were like punching water, making no impact whatsoever.

The situation left Su Xing feeling helpless. It was the first time since gaining such power that he had encountered a technique so bizarre—one that he couldn’t break with his own strength. He also had no idea if his physical body was even safe.

In reality, Su Xing had misjudged the technique used against him. The move had come from Lin Loulan, but whether Lin Loulan had cast it personally was uncertain. The only thing that was certain was that this was, without a doubt, a Sealing Technique.

It hadn’t just sealed his consciousness; it had sealed his physical body as well. Now, Su Xing had vanished completely, as if he no longer existed in this world.

But this Sealing Technique was not invincible. The duration of the seal depended on the target’s strength. If Lin Loulan knew that Su Xing would only be sealed for twenty-four hours, she would be shocked. It would mean Su Xing’s power far exceeded her predictions.

Still, he was sealed. For at least these twenty-four hours, Lin Loulan could execute her plan and achieve her desired outcome.

But... was Su Xing truly trapped?

...

In a dark room, a man in a purple robe held a cup of tea, gazing at a photograph of Leng Wuque on the wall. He chuckled softly.

"Let’s see you run this time."

「Elsewhere.」

Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu had scoured the entire underground building before finally locating Flipping River Mirage and Lei Zhuang. Perhaps because of Su Xing’s rampage, there was almost no one else around the two of them.

In other words, they were the only two standing there.

"Flipping River Mirage! Lei Zhuang! So you two really were here!"

Zhang Wen shouted.

"Good, they didn’t get away!"

Zhao Wu added.

"Huh?! Lei Zhuang! How did someone dare to come here?!"

Flipping River Mirage exclaimed in surprise.

He knew some guy named Su Xing was wreaking havoc upstairs, but he never imagined two more people would show up here. A flash of surprise crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

’That Su Xing must have followed Lei Zhuang here. It makes sense he wouldn’t come alone. Others following him would be completely normal. It’s just... I heard Su Xing was taken care of, so I let my guard down. I never thought anyone else would appear.’

"..."

Lei Zhuang said nothing. He had always seemed to be the silent type, so Flipping River Mirage didn’t think much of it.

"Lei Zhuang, did you think you could escape unscathed? We set up countless lookouts, both hidden and in plain sight, all around Lei Family Village. We’ve been watching your every move!"

Zhang Wen issued a threat, and Zhao Wu added,

"Flipping River Mirage, Lei Zhuang, since you two are partners, our Young Master naturally wants to invite you both back for questioning. If you have nothing better to do, let’s get going now!"

"Capture me, Flipping River Mirage? In your dreams! You two are Tier Seven, and I’m Tier Seven. What makes you think I’m guaranteed to lose?! Lei Zhuang, let’s fight our way out of here!"

Flipping River Mirage bellowed.

Although they were all Tier Seven, there’s a world of difference between tiers. Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were both Tier Seven Peak, strong enough to crush an ordinary Tier Seven practitioner like him.

As for Lei Zhuang, he was just an ordinary fisherman.

He was audacious enough to get involved in human trafficking, but the intel was crystal clear: he possessed no Extraordinary powers.

Flipping River Mirage understood this, of course, which was why he hadn’t factored Lei Zhuang into his combat plans at all. Shouting his name was just a ploy to use him as a human shield.

The underground building was full of people. Even though Su Xing had killed many of them, some were still left. If he could just hold out for a moment, they would surely react. Someone would come to his rescue then, and escape would be easy.

That was his real plan. However, the gap between them was far greater than he had anticipated. After just two moves, he was already at a disadvantage. Then, Zhao Wu sent him flying with a single slap.

"ARGH!"

Flipping River Mirage let out a pained cry, rolled across the ground a few times, and stared at the two men in despair, muttering,

"Damn it... How are these two so strong...? Why am I..."

As he was speaking, Lei Zhuang, who was standing behind him, formed a claw with his hand and plunged it into Flipping River Mirage’s chest. He ripped out his heart in one motion. The excruciating pain overwhelmed Flipping River Mirage’s mind. In the last moment of his life, he stared at Lei Zhuang in utter confusion, only managing to say with bewilderment,

"You..."

"You?!"

"Don’t let him get away! Stop him from tearing open a rift and entering the void!"

Zhang Wen cried out in shock.

Lei Zhuang’s power was so immense that he couldn’t gauge its depth. But according to the Special Organization’s intelligence, Lei Zhuang was an ordinary person! How could this be?!

"Now!"

Just then, Zhao Wu uttered a single word in his mind. A hidden weapon shot from his sleeve and struck Lei Zhuang squarely. But the projectile was simply deflected, leaving Lei Zhuang completely unscathed.

This was no ordinary hidden weapon. It was a magical artifact developed by the Modu Special Organization, standard-issue equipment for every member. It was designed to give even weaker members a fighting chance when faced with danger.
