Chapter 717
It was very sharp and had the look of a fight.
Ye Siqing was still in a daze when Ying Ziji pulled her behind her with one hand.
“This Miss Ying.” The man in black at the head was also confused for a moment by the girl’s movement, he shook his head and laughed, “I really don’t know how you said the word ‘no’, what, are you prepared to fight us with your Engineering Academy’s weapons?”
The contempt in his gaze increased, “I’m really sorry, with your physique, you don’t even have the chance to touch us.”
This Ying Zidian was of the highest quality in both looks and figure.
It’s a pity to die like this.
How about ……
This thought had just popped up in the head of the black-clad man when the girl moved.
“Looks like there are still two of them.” He smiled quite unimpressed, “But having said that, there’s no way you can fight us-”
“BOOM!”
A loud, heavy thud exploded in his ears, shaking a brick off the alleyway.
The man in black at the head of the group fell straight to the ground, his body twisted into a twist in a bizarre shape.
All that remained in Ye Siqing’s mind were the five words from the TV series she had watched.
Splitting tendons …… wrong bone hand?
The other seven men in black could not even capture the girl’s figure at all.
They only felt an invisible pressure pressing down on them, crushing their bones and making blood gurgle in their throats.
The existence of the Ancient Martial World was clear only to the House of Sages.
After all, the Ancient Martial World was only established in the 16th century, and the City of Worlds was thousands of years old.
The people in black didn’t even know that there was such a magical thing as internal energy.
“Click, click, click, click-”
There was a fine crunching sound, the sound of bones breaking when they couldn’t withstand the pressure.
Against Xie Huanran, Ying Ziji had been pushed to her limits several times, and her ancient martial arts cultivation had made a new breakthrough.
The later she reached, the faster her ancient martial arts cultivation recovered.
Today, she has more than two hundred years of ancient martial arts cultivation.
The wise man looks inwards for strength.
Ancient martial arts is a human initiative to cultivate and develop oneself.
Genetic modification was only external power after all, and no more powerful than an ancient martial artist.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The internal force that enveloped the alleyway steeply increased, and the people in black were forced to fall to the ground.
In the silent alleyway, only the girl’s sparse and faintly cool voice fell: “Killer, so many words too.”
Worthy too.
The only killers she had ever seen were Fu Yunshen and Qin Lingyu.
The a*sa*sins were like ghosts.
This group of unworthy things only talked nonsense.
Ye Siqing was dumbfounded: “……”
The eight men in black were stacked up like a stack of rogues.
Their ribs were all shattered open and their arms were broken, so they didn’t even have the ability to struggle up and fight back.
Especially the first man in black to fall, his mind buzzing, still unable to believe that he had failed so badly without even making a move.
“These people have indeed been genetically modified.” Ying jumped down from the fence and landed easily, faintly “But they have nothing to do with the Knights of the World City, they are affiliated with the a*sa*sin organisation.”
The City of Worlds also had a lot of grey dealings and areas that were out of reach of the ordinary residents.
It was the same as the underground world of O Continent.
The man in black at the head of the group stiffened when he heard these words.
He gritted his teeth and struggled desperately to crush a chip in his teeth.
The next second –
“Ka-ching!”
His jaw was dislodged raw.
The man in black at the head of the group let out a miserable scream.
But his scream didn’t even make it out of this alleyway and was suppressed by the internal energy.
“I will let you go back to report?” Ying Ziji lowered her head and smiled faintly, “Want to kill me and still want to go back alive?”
Her eyes were as indifferent as a cold spring, without a hint of emotion.
Several of the men in black could not help but shiver.
What they were facing, was it really just a 19 year old girl?!
The people in black had taken on other a*sa*sination missions, the Jade Family they had all been inside.
Never yet had they encountered an a*sa*sination subject that had the pressure that Ying Ziji had put on them.
Ye Siqing then watched as the girl easily carried two two-metre tall men in black, one in each hand, and threw them into the river next to her.
Then she came back and, as if rolling an iron ring, poked the remaining few blacks with an iron bar and kicked them all down.
The river rolled on, the breeze blew and there was silence.
There was constant strife in the City of Worlds, and as long as there was no trouble in the central area, there had been incidents of shelling in the streets elsewhere.
But Ye Siqing was still witnessing this kind of fight at close range.
“Ying, Senior Sister Ying.” She finally returned to her senses and cautiously, “Can you teach me some kung fu?”
Ying Ziji pondered for a moment, “Yes, but the process will be painful.”
There were many dangers around her, so she really had to be prepared in advance.
Ye Siqing was doing experiments with her, and there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t be targeted.
“It’s fine.” Ye Siqing was very quick, “It’s better than losing your life.”
Ying Ziji nodded, “Okay, I’ll treat you to a candy when we get back to the dorm later.”
The topic changed so quickly that Ye Siqing almost didn’t catch up: “What kind of candy?”
“Strawberry-flavoured.”
“Oh oh, I like strawberry.”
Ying Ziji raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat.
A medicine that could give someone the ancient martial arts talent of strawberry flavour.
Now she would have to eat a few more pieces of black forest cake to soothe her hands.
**
The other side.
Research Institute, Biogenetic Institute.
A male trainee was holding binoculars and looking at the place where the alley was.
But there was no one in the alley, it was empty, even the mechanical bin was in its original position.
“Merwin, what are you doing?” Someone tapped him on the back, “There’s an experiment later, don’t forget.”
“Nothing.” Merwin returned perfunctorily, “Wasn’t there an explosion a while ago? I’ll see if there’ll be any more fatalities lately, maybe I can even report it to the trial court in advance.”
The cadet didn’t say anything, nodded and went out.
Merwin frowned.
Strange.
He had spent a hundred million to place an order with the Black Base, the largest a*sa*sination organisation in the World City.
The Black Base would send out A-rank a*sa*sins, so it was hard that they couldn’t even kill a cadet from the Engineering Academy?
Merwin originally didn’t have Ying Zigui in mind.
But that test flight ceremony let a lot of people in the World City know that a dark horse had emerged from the Engineering Academy.
Ying Zidian’s popularity on the W network was high.
Every year, the Institute is given four places for an audience with the Magi.
Usually it’s three for the Biogenetic Institute and one for the Engineering Institute.
But with the current situation, when the selection is made in September, the Engineering School will definitely be able to get an extra share.
He was third in the Biogenetic Academy, and once the Engineering Academy got two places, he would not be able to meet the Magi.
This was not what Mervyn wanted to see.
As Bi’er was the eldest lady of the Lehngar family, Merwin naturally did not dare to do anything.
But it was different for Ying Ziyi, a commoner with little background.
Merwin looked at the alleyway in the distance again and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He put down his binoculars and immediately went out of the school building and came to the alleyway as fast as he could.
The next second, his neck suddenly hurt and he instantly pa*sed out.
After an unknown amount of time, Merwin opened his eyes again.
It was dark all around.
There was only a little light ahead.
There was a slender, upright figure with an imposing presence.
Merwin felt nothing but fear and his sweat hairs stood up: “You …… who are you?!”
The man’s face, half hidden in the darkness, was handsome like a god, and the shimmering light was bright.
The light gradually deviated, illuminating his eyebrows, and a momentary killing intent broke the seal.
The extreme fear made Mervyn scream in terror and he backed away frantically: “Who are you? Who the hell are you?!”
Where was this place again?
How the hell did he get here?
Mervyn’s mind was in turmoil and his body couldn’t stop shaking.
“One hundred million?” Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes dropped and he laughed lightly, “Very rich?”
“There was a clanging sound.
A coin tumbled to the ground and rolled until it came to a stop in front of Merwin.
It was a commemorative coin issued by the World City last year.
It was not a high denomination, only one dollar.
In an era when paper money had completely disappeared, there were quite a few people who had bought it for their collections.
Merwin stared blankly at the coin on the ground, his brain not able to turn around for a while.
Fu Yunshen stood up and patted his shirt, “One piece, for your life.”
A complete and utter humiliation.
Merwin just felt his blood rise up in his body, this time more in anger than fear: “How dare you? I’m from the Biogenetic Academy, and the Lord Magician has personally asked the Dean to look after me!”
He would enter the Sage Academy in the future and get the focus of the Sage Magician’s training.
Even the nobles were definitely no match for him.
Who would dare to go against the Magi?
“Magician?” Fu Yunshen stepped forward and lifted Merwin up with one hand, “I’ll take you to see him, in front of him, see if I dare.”
He smiled sideways, his eyes cool, like a demon crawling out of hell.
Chapter 718
Merwin couldn’t help but shiver, and couldn’t help but shout again, tearing his heart out: “Who the hell are you?!”
Fu Yunshen didn’t say anything, his long fingers flicked slightly.
An internal energy struck out, sealing Merwin’s acupuncture points.
He raised his hand and took another human skin mask made by a 3d printer and put it on.
The appearance changed in an instant.
But the man’s aura could not be concealed even after the disguise was changed.
Fu Yunshen imprisoned Merwin and went underneath the sage courtyard.
With the help of his inner strength, he leapt up with ease.
The wind whistled in his ears.
Merwin’s eyes were a blur, and all he felt was an unprecedented sense of horror.
The Sage’s Courtyard was a floating building, several hundred metres above the ground.
Although it was said that there were two ways to have an audience with the Magi.
One was the pa*sage, and the other was to go straight up.
But it was true that no one had been able to go up there without the help of external forces until now.
This man, who the hell is he?
One word suddenly popped into Mervyn’s head –
Sage!
Only a sage could easily ascend to the Sage’s Court.
He shivered in disbelief.
Mervyn was not stupid.
Based on Fu Yunshen’s two words alone, it was clear to him that this man was here to take out his anger on Ying Zidian.
Ying Zidian, behind whom stood the Magi?
What a big joke.
“Lord Sage, please, please let me go.” He couldn’t move, so he could only plead for mercy, breaking down, “Please, please, please don’t treat me like a fleshly mortal, I don’t mean any harm, I really don’t!”
If he had known that Ying Ziji and the Sage knew each other, he would have chosen Bi’er as the target of his hunt.
Even if the Leingar family was strong, could it compare to the House of Magi?
“Dang!”
The second door where the Magus Magician was located was kicked open.
“With a bang, Merwin was thrown to the ground.
The two movements were not small, and the magician happened to be here at this time.
“Who is it?” He was displeased that his business had been disturbed, “Didn’t I tell you that I had something to do today and not to disturb?”
The magician stepped out.
Fu Yunshen faintly glanced sideways, very lightly and faintly looking this way.
That glance seemed like a thunderbolt crushing down.
It made the liver and guts split.
The magician’s feet were frozen in place, his expression momentarily shocked.
By the time he came back to his senses, the man had already turned and left, his back cold.
The magician had looked specifically at the pictures of this year’s Biogenetic Academy cadets.
Merwin was third, he certainly had an impression.
And now, this third had fallen before him, lifeless.
“What’s going on?” Sara walked in, frowning, “How many times have I told you not to do your experiments in the Sage Academy, what if it blows up?”
“What’s it to do with me?” The magician was so angry he could have spat blood, “A man just barged in and he made the noise!”
Sara’s eyes sank, “Who?”
She had been staying here all this time and hadn’t even been aware that someone from outside had come in.
The magician thought back for a moment and heard Mervyn’s voice calling “Sage”.
His body shook violently and he trembled violently: “It must be the Sage demon!”
“As soon as he came back, he caught one of my trainees and gave me a demonstration in front of me, it must be the devil!”
Sara’s expression changed abruptly, “You saw it?”
“I didn’t get a good look, but it was definitely him.” A cold sweat broke out on the magician’s head, “Who else could have put that much pressure on me but him?”
Sara’s brow furrowed tighter, “Come here first.”
The magician took a deep breath and followed Sara to the room behind the fourth door.
“If it’s a demon, then the demon hasn’t fully recovered its powers and memories.” Sara sat down on her throne and tapped her fingers, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone.”
But the words came out, and they horrified the magician even more.
Not yet fully recovered, and he was coming and going in the House of Magi as he pleased.
How terrifying would it have to be if he had recovered his peak strength?
“Sara!” The magician gritted his teeth, “We must find him and kill him before he completely regains his power.”
“We’re not looking for the demon.” Sara got up, “Let the priestess count who it is that broke into the Sage’s House today.”
It was impossible to count by looking directly for the demon.
The Priestess’s room was next door to Sara’s and was quickly invited.
“Good.” She nodded after learning of Sara’s request, “I’ll start the trigonometry.”
The Sage Demon, but their common enemy.
**
The other side.
A café in the central district.
After separating from Ye Siqing, Ying Ziji answered Xiu’s invitation.
She was resting her head with her hand propped up and was closing her eyes.
At this instant, her eyes suddenly opened.
Xiu was taken aback: “Old man, what’s wrong again? I have a bad heart.”
“Something has happened.” Ying Zigui’s eyes were slightly averted as he took out his tarot cards and spread them out on the table, “Lend your special ability for a while.”
While doing so, Xiu asked, “Who are you going to count?”
The cafe was full of people, coming and going, but all ignoring the most obvious table.
Absolute invisibility!
It was a full few minutes before Ying Ziji opened his eyes.
A thin layer of coldness gathered at the bottom of her eyes.
She had never been able to calculate what was happening to Fu Yunshen, but she could sense that someone was trying to use the trigram to attack him.
He was also very serious as he sensed something was wrong: “What’s going on?”
“Just had a fight with someone.” Ying Ziji mused, “Among the twenty-two Magi, apart from your sister, who else knows trigonometry?”
Xiu was stunned, “There’s also the priestess, she’s in an awkward position, she can do a bit of trigonometry and a bit of medicine making.”
“But in terms of trigonometry is not as strong as my sister, and in terms of medicine making is not as powerful as the magician, but she also knows some formations, and her attack power is better than a purely supportive sage like me.”
The third of the twenty-two Magi, the Magi Priestess, thehighpriestess.
Ying nodded slightly to show that he understood: “You said that a war once broke out among the Magi, and that your sister also fell in this war?”
Xiu looked gloomy: “Yes.”
Ying knew that this was something that Xiu did not want to recall, and did not talk about it any further, but said, “Then I should have just exchanged blows with the priestess.”
“A priestess?” Hugh wrinkled his brow, “I’ll go back to the Sage’s House and see if there’s been any movement lately.”
No one would have started a holy war if they didn’t have to.
Xiu stood up, and then as if he thought of something, he turned his head, “Oh right, you see you don’t have anything to do, so help me manage the w-net, you’re strong in computer skills anyway.”
Hearing this, Ying put down his knife and fork and clapped his hands.
“Slap slap slap.”
A few times very perfunctorily.
Xiu was a little confused: “What are you clapping for me for?”
“Complimenting you, after not seeing you for so many years, you can daydream.”
“……”
He knew it.
**
And it was the same moment.
“Pfft-”
The priestess suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
This caused a few moments of horror even for Sara, and
She was busy holding the priestess, “What happened?”
“Someone got in my way, with more power than me.” The priestess looked pale and shook her head, “It won’t count for now, sorry.”
“Blocked you?” Sara’s expression changed again, “Hardly, is it the Wheel of Fortune?”
Among the twenty-two Magi, there were only two who possessed the power of trigonometry.
One was the Priestess, and the other was the Wheel of Fate.
Who else but the Wheel of Destiny could be above the Priestess?
“Hasn’t the Wheel of Destiny fallen completely?” The magician frowned, “To take a step back, even if she had not fallen completely, what reason would she have to help the demons?”
Sages were not gods, so they were not really immortal either.
Of the twenty-two Sages, there were three who had fallen completely.
Their power had vanished so cleanly that they couldn’t even reincarnate anymore.
“Who are you talking about?” At that moment, a low male voice slowly rang out, “The Wheel of Destiny?”
The man was magnificent, his head was crowned, his face was handsome and his aura was compelling.
The Pope of the Magi, Louis Theseus!
“Rarely, Louis, the mention of the Wheel of Fortune brings you out.” Sara blandly, “You go and open the next City of Worlds Grand Ceremony for me.”
The City of Worlds had a pilgrimage ceremony at the end of every year, before the bells rang in the New Year, which all the inhabitants had to attend and was the only chance most people had to see the Sages.
For decades, it was Sara who presided over it.
In the past, the two had exchanged officiating, but the Pope had not attended for a long time, on the pretext of ill health.
Louis walked in and smiled very lightly, “I just heard you guys also discussing the demons.”
The magician shivered again and briefly recounted what had happened.
“No, there was someone else besides the Wheel of Fortune, of course.” Louie listened, slowly, “The Divine Reckoner.”
At this title, several of the Magi’s expressions changed.
Sara’s eyes stared, “The outsider who knew Hsiu?”
The matter of Xiu going to O Continent to set up the Hidden Alliance Society was not a secret in the House of Magi either.
It was also after knowing about the Divine Reckoner that the Sages realised that there must be multiple universes in existence.
And that in other universes, there would be even more powerful people.
This Divine Reckoner is a good example of this.
The Divine Reckoner was even able to travel across universes to Earth, not daring to imagine how high ta force value was again.
So how many existences of the level of the Divine Reckoner would there be in other universes?
Based on this alone, a cosmic carrier could never be created!
It would be bad if it led to anything else that the Sage House couldn’t control.
“Then I’d rather expect it to be the Wheel of Fortune.” The magician slammed his fist on the table, “We don’t know much about the Divine Reckoner at all, even Xiu has never seen what a Divine Reckoner looks like, whether it’s a man or a woman.”
And according to Xiu, the Divine Reckoner came and went without a trace, and his temper was uncertain.
If the Divine Reckoner and the Sage Demon had joined forces, how could they be stopped?
“No matter who it is, it must be prepared.” Sara had calmed down, “No matter what, the Pilgrimage Ceremony must not be disrupted.”
Otherwise, her and Louis’ majesty would be swept away in one fell swoop.
**
The great turmoil within the Sage Academy did not affect the entire City of Worlds.
But the Biogenetic Academy was in chaos these days.
Merwin, as the third place winner this year, was a key training target of the Biogenetic Institute, and he disappeared all of a sudden.
Surveillance showed that he left the institute on his own, went into an alley and disappeared.
The dean of the Biogenetic Institute checked for a long time and even contacted the Hacker Alliance, but no trace was found.
The only one who had a conflict with the Genetic Institute was the Engineering Institute.
Maybe the Engineering Institute had used some high-tech weapon to lay a hand on Merwin.
The Dean of the Gene Academy frowned and got up to go to the Academic Affairs Building where the Engineering Academy was located.
At this time, Dean Norman was in his office.
[Disciple, are you free this afternoon? There’s an experimental project for you to take a look at.
[Ying Zidian]: I can do it in the evening, I’m buying a dress now.
Dean Norman: “???”
How come one or two of his apprentices are obsessed with dresses these days?
[Okay, you buy it, no need to send it to me.
Seeing this message, Ying Ziji raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that Dean Norman was deeply devastated by Sinai.
She put her phone away and followed Su Wen.
“Welcome, First Lady.” The manager saluted respectfully, “I wonder what the First Lady wants?”
“To customise a few sets of clothes.” Su Man smiled, “I used to customize dresses from your place, I still like your craftsmanship.”
Su Man had been in a coma for nearly twenty years and the owner of this shop had changed long ago, but the craftsmanship was still there.
The manager was flattered: “This way please, First Lady.”
Su Wen turned up and beckoned, “Yao Yao, come this way, I’ll take your measurements.”
Ying Ziyang walked over, “Okay.”
The manager took one look at the girl and was even more amazed.
He had thought that Su Wen was already very beautiful, after all she was the number one beauty who had once made the City of the World famous.
But he didn’t expect there to be something even more blue.
The girl’s eyebrows carried a bit of aggression, unlike Su Man’s kind of soft beauty, but with more killing power.
“This must be Missy, right?” The manager smiled, “Eldest Miss and First Lady stand together, they really look like sisters.”
