Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 199 Formidable Enemy

Guo Shiyi suddenly felt uneasy, especially when she saw the fading sunset on the horizon. The once beautiful sky now seemed somewhat cold.

She had planned to do the homework assigned by the teacher during evening self-study, but now she couldn't concentrate at all. She put her textbooks in her bag and left the classroom.

Instead of going back to her dormitory immediately, she took a walk along the artificial river on campus. As she walked, she came to a bench and naturally sat down.

Looking at the slowly flowing artificial river in front of her, she suddenly remembered that this was the place where she and Qin Xiaochuan met for the second time.

"Shiyi, don't worry, I will protect you no matter what." For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Qin Xiaochuan said when the two of them were surrounded that day.

She couldn't help but smile knowingly, not because his words moved her, but because she hadn't expected him to have the mind to say such things in such a dangerous situation, like a fool.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take out her phone and open the confession text message Qin Xiaochuan had sent her that night, and her lips pursed up again.

"I wonder what he's doing now?" Her gaze involuntarily followed the direction of the artificial river and gradually moved towards the teaching building of the Department of Spiritual Studies in the distance.

"Hey, isn't this Shiyi? Why are you here alone? Aren't you with Xiaochuan?" A male voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qin Xiaochuan's roommate, Gao Xiang.

"He's your roommate, so it's more reasonable for him to be with you," Guo Shiyi replied, blinking.

"He had a class in the Department of Spirituality this afternoon. He seems to be studying really hard lately, often going back to the dorm very late. He's probably still in the Department of Spirituality building right now," Gao Xiang explained. "Is he almost no longer on our side?"

"Oh, which party do you belong to?" Guo Shiyi asked curiously.

"Of course it's the salted fish party," Gao Xiang said matter-of-factly.

Guo Shiyi covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Since you're a 'salted fish party' (a derogatory term for people who prefer to stay home and relax), why are you still wandering around outside at this hour?"

"Of course it's something important." Gao Xiang smiled mysteriously. "I can't tell you now, I have to go take care of some business."

"Oh, I see." Guo Shiyi nodded knowingly. "Going on a date, right?"

Gao Xiang smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he waved to Guo Shiyi and said, "I'm leaving."

"Bye-bye," Guo Shiyi replied, then couldn't help but look again in the direction of the Department of Spiritual Studies building.

-----------------

The sky grew even darker.

Qin Xiaochuan activated his Heavenly Eye and glanced into the man's body. Unexpectedly, he could only see a hazy vortex and could not determine the man's spiritual power level at all.

He frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, which also indicated that the opponent's strength was unfathomable.

The mountain behind the Department of Spiritual Studies is only 5 square kilometers. It only takes about ten minutes to get there from where Qin Xiaochuan is. However, it is not class time now. Even if he can get to the building, he may not be able to get effective assistance, and innocent people may be implicated.

The only option is to go to the office building where the Department of Spiritual Studies faculty members are located, but it will take at least half an hour to get there, and at this time, I don't know if any teachers will still be on duty.

"Strike first and you'll be strong; strike later and you'll suffer." Now that things have come to this, Qin Xiaochuan knows he can no longer afford to take any chances. Since a battle is inevitable, he might as well seize the opportunity himself.

With a thought, he unleashed a Blazing Dance, and at the same time, he threw a yellow talisman into the air.

This is a level one spiritual power talisman he bought from the all-powerful store for use during missions. It contains some level D skills, such as the one Qin Xiaochuan just threw out, which is a smoke talisman.

After he threw out the talisman, a cloud of smoke spread out from it, and within moments it had spread to a range of more than 10 meters.

Qin Xiaochuan's figure also disappeared into the smoke.

The moment Qin Xiaochuan saw the man opposite him, he knew he had no chance of winning, so he decisively chose to run away. Smoke bombs were the best tool for escaping. As soon as the smoke bombs spread, Qin Xiaochuan cast a speed spell on himself and quickly ran towards the artificial river next to the back mountain. Once he crossed the artificial river, it would only be about ten minutes to Xin Wanru's office building.

In short, as long as he could hold out for twenty minutes, he would achieve his tactical objective. Qin Xiaochuan felt that he still had a good chance. However, after running only two steps, a huge sense of crisis came over him.

Qin Xiaochuan jumped backward almost without hesitation.

With a loud "bang!", Qin Xiaochuan had no idea what had happened before a huge crater appeared in front of him.

"Huh? You actually dodged it. You're quite perceptive." The man's voice carried a hint of surprise.

Although he dodged the attack, Qin Xiaochuan was not at ease, because the man's attack had completely locked onto his position, meaning the smoke had no effect on him, which greatly reduced his chances of escaping.

"But can you dodge this attack?" Before Qin Xiaochuan could think any further, the man's voice suddenly appeared in his ears, followed by the opponent's fist containing enormous energy.

"Bang!" At the critical moment, Qin Xiaochuan still released the Xuanwu Shield. Even so, Qin Xiaochuan was still blasted away by the huge energy. Fortunately, although the opponent was fast and strong, the destructive power seemed to be somewhat insufficient. Under the protection of the Qilin Armor, Qin Xiaochuan did not suffer any internal injuries.

"Hmm, not only is he sharp enough, but his defensive power far exceeds that of ordinary level 6 spiritual power. No wonder they failed." The man did not press his advantage, but stood there and commented on Qin Xiaochuan's performance.

Since there was no way to escape, there was no choice but to fight. Once Qin Xiaochuan made up his mind, he decisively launched a counterattack while the man was speaking.

He first unleashed an Earth Embrace to force his opponent to dodge, then followed up with a Blazing Dance to restrict his opponent's defense for a period of time. During this time, he used the Swiftness spell to quickly rush towards his opponent and used his newly devised Flame Fist to attack him at close range.

A giant brown hand appeared from beneath the man's feet and reached out to grab him, but the man remained motionless, showing no intention of dodging.

"His fighting style is also very organized." The man's voice remained calm, and just as the giant hand was about to grab him, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"It's just too slow." The man's voice came from behind Qin Xiaochuan again, followed by a huge force that slammed into Qin Xiaochuan's back, sending him flying once more.

"So fast!" Qin Xiaochuan endured the pain and got up from the ground, looking at the other person in disbelief. Was this really a speed that a human could achieve? He hadn't even seen the other person's movements clearly.

"Is it hard to accept?" In an instant, the man was beside Qin Xiaochuan, looking down at him. "Don't struggle anymore. Within this distance, I am the master."

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaochuan pondered the other person's words. Was the other person not relying on physical strength to achieve this speed, but rather on some kind of skill?

The killing intent once again permeated the forest, as if a mountain was slowly pressing down on him. Qin Xiaochuan felt his heart pounding, but he had no desire to run away. At this moment, the man's cold voice came over, "Be prepared. In the face of absolute power, all your actions are in vain."

Like the final judgment.
