As Wu Ma stepped out to activate the Array, the mute woman on the rooftop tightened her grip on her iron umbrella, and the old monk in the alley also took a serious step forward. Ghost Hand, who was closest to Li Changhe, readied his hands as if to cast a spell.
As Earth Level Extraordinaries, they naturally realized what Wu Ma was planning to do. It was the Qiankun Switch of the Qin Dunjia, capable of switching the positions of the target and the practitioner. If things went wrong, the young Soldier might suffer a great disadvantage, so the three of them prepared to lend their assistance.
However, in that instant, the Qiankun Switch did not trigger. Instead, it was the practitioner, Wu Ma, who fell into a brief stupor and was then beheaded by Li Changhe in one clean stroke.
Indeed, it was very fast...
But how could an Earth Level Extraordinary, renowned for his combat prowess, lose focus during a battle and get decapitated with a single strike? Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, the three of them would hardly have believed it.
Wu Ma’s head smashed onto the ground, his face still exhibiting the sa mix of fury and fear, eyes wide open in death.
His headless body also collapsed in the next second, and the mudra he had prepared to use against Li Changhe uncontrollably released upon touching the ground, further damaging the already shattered ground with two more holes.
The words he uttered before his death, however, made the onlooking Extraordinaries’ eyes flicker.
Killing an Earth Level Extraordinary was indeed shocking, but it was overshadowed by Wu Ma’s final roar.
Celestial!
"Wu Ma, in his final monts, wanted to use the Qiankun Switch... but for so reason, he couldn’t move that little monk. Instead, he fell into a stupor," mused Master Kongchan. "Could it be that he thought him a Celestial because he couldn’t move him?"
"Just because of that? That’s too hasty. There are Magical Skills that inherently counteract the Qiankun Switch," said Ghost Hand, shaking his head.
He could sowhat discern Li Changhe’s strength: a robust physique from cross-training, comparable to Master Kongchan’s Vajra Body.
Enduring Wu Ma’s Great Compassion Hand with his sheer Physique, he then used a Refining Skill to strengthen his Swallowtail Knife and cut through seven beads, and for the rest... he used a similar Refining Skill to escape Wu Ma’s control.
After that, he approached Wu Ma. It’s unknown how he broke Wu Ma’s Qiankun Switch, but he managed to slice his throat with a sword. All things considered, not bad, but that’s all.
"However, what exactly did Wu Ma see at the end?" frowned Ghost Hand, this being the only detail he couldn’t discern.
Qiu Wentian, who was silently listening to their discussion, couldn’t help but smile wryly. As a player, she understood a bit more than the Extraordinaries.
Actually, Wu Ma wasn’t wrong.
From an Extraordinary’s perspective, Li Changhe could indeed be considered a Celestial.
The so-called Unity of Heaven and Man is to enter the Heavenly Road as an Extraordinary.
In the language of players, a Celestial is a divine creature.
The Evolution Ga and the path of Extraordinary share at least one goal: the ascent to divinity.
However, those who enter the Heavenly Road as an Extraordinary are almost non-existent. Perhaps the inheritance is flawed, or perhaps... the path of the Extraordinary is broken.
These are not easy to comnt on...
In any case, although Li Changhe is an Extraordinary Soldier and his attributes do not fall short of an Earth Level Extraordinary, he is still far from reaching that realm.
His Divinity was not obtained through the path of the Extraordinary. But to be called a Celestial is not entirely incorrect.
In this narrative world, a player’s abilities have been largely sealed, but Li Changhe’s existence as a ’Celestial’ cannot be changed.
An Earth Level Extraordinary like Wu Ma, with such a lowly State, trying to move a Celestial, would have been better off attacking directly.
At the very least, with Li Changhe’s powers sealed and his combat strength greatly reduced, engaging in a lee would have given Wu Ma so advantage. At least he would have died with so dignity.
"It seems the Archer is far too humble," Qiu Wentian thought as he watched Li Changhe’s retreating figure.
She was closest to Li Changhe and could clearly see that the Buddha beads, which had not approached him,
were suddenly tainted pitch black by the Black Mud that erged from the ground. It was with this thod that Li Changhe completely sealed off all the beads, destroying one of Wu Ma’s ans of attack.
This kind of divine control was much stronger than what he claid to be rely enhancing weapons.
"Could it be that his control over Divinity improved during the fight?" Qiu Wentian wondered.
Indeed, as Qiu Wentian had guessed, Li Changhe had noticed a change in his Black Mud Divinity when facing Wu Ma.
Especially after killing Wu Ma, the upper limit of his Black Mud Divinity was fixed at 3050.
It had increased by fifty Divinity points.
And Li Changhe’s own safe usage limit of Black Mud had risen from 20 to 45 points.
The upper limit of Divinity increased by 50, and the usage limit by 25; the gains were indeed significant.
"Ha, inherent malice boiling can raise the limit, and being surrounded by malice can quickly restore Divinity," Li Changhe said with an indifferent expression, showing no trace of joy, "This Divinity is indeed convenient..."
Afterward, he walked to a corner of the courtyard and said to Luo Qiao, who was scared stiff, "Don’t rush, Luo Qiao. My vengeance has only just begun."
"Benefactor... she is not a Transcendent," Master Kongchan couldn’t help but frown and speak out, "Benefactor, do not commit the sin of killing."
Transcendents must not strike ordinary people; this is a covenant respected by all Transcendents.
"Old monk, don’t bother preaching. Didn’t you notice that this young brother’s target was this woman right from the start?" Ghost Hand waved his hand and said, "That’s why I can’t get along with you righteous folks. To seek revenge for a grievance is only human. However, young brother, you should also be clear. If a Transcendent harms an ordinary person, the Association will certainly make trouble for you. Luckily, they’re busy these days; you’d better take the chance to run far away."
Li Changhe, unmoved, picked up the crying Luo Qiao and dragged her towards a vehicle at the side, with Qiu Wentian following closely behind.
Their goal had not changed: to make those who had killed Yun Ting pay the price!
Master Kongchan frowned, about to step forward to stop them, when his shoulder was patted, "Let him go, these people deserve to die. Mute girl, follow them. After they have taken their revenge, bring them back. They are not enemies."
The mute girl on the rooftop nodded slightly upon hearing this, then leaped down from the building.
She openly followed behind Li Changhe and Qiu Wentian.
Master Kongchan wasn’t surprised but sighed, "Li, can’t you stop being so jumpy?"
He didn’t need to look back to know who it was.
After all, he was the only one in this world who could approach silently behind him.
That was the relic of World War II, currently the strongest Transcendent and the closest to a Celestial.
The leader of the contemporary Extraordinary Association, the venerable Mr. All-known, Li Kun!
He was the mute girl’s foster father and ntor. And the brash young genius in a leather jacket, Ghost Hand.
After seeing the old Taoist, he didn’t rush forward to seek guidance but turned around guiltily to leave,
acting as if, "You can’t see , you can’t see ."
The old Taoist huffed, and Ghost Hand ran even faster.
