Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 250, Question 041: Reason
a minute ago.

Chu Pingqiu was unwilling to give up. He had already replaced his "Victory in Hand" weapon with the new "Sneaky Ambition" weapon, using various hidden weapons to launch sneak attacks from the side. Jin Ziyue also seemed to be paying close attention to his movements, and some simple poisoned darts and arrows were not enough to truly harm him.

Chen Ruolan held the spear in one hand and swept Zhang Rang away with a horizontal motion. Suddenly, she noticed that Zhang Xixi's red and blue flames had formed. The dazzling sparks transformed into a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws. The dazzling light shone on her face, making her cheeks turn red.

Before she could even break the attack, she and Jin Ziyue stood still when a long-haired swordsman suddenly appeared before them, leaping into the air and slashing through the fire dragon like a bolt of lightning.

Jin Ziyue frowned: "Sword Attendant?"

He turned around and saw Sanshui standing on the hillside, panting, smiling at him.

"Why did she come back?" Chen Ruolan asked, puzzled, after seeing Sanshui Linxin.

Jin Ziyue said to Chen Ruolan beside him, "Take care of her for me."

After saying that, he accelerated and charged towards the six people on the other side.

"Hey! Leave some for me!" Chen Ruolan called out before stepping back. Looking at Sanshui Linxin's face, which was flushed from running, she asked, "Why did you run back for no reason?"

"I've come to help lighten your burden," Sanshui said, panting.

Chen Ruolan looked into her eyes, patted her shoulder, and smiled: "Okay, stick close, I'll lead you in."

"Does he agree?" Sanshui secretly glanced at the man's figure and asked in a low voice.

"What can I do if I disagree?" Chen Ruolan glanced at her, puffed out her chest, and said with great pride, "As long as I can wield a sword, what reason is there not to go to the battlefield! Let's team up, I'll do the melee and draw aggro, and you can deal damage from a distance."

Chen Ruolan said with a smile.

"Do you really think you're just playing video games?" Fu Xun's voice rang out from behind, but the boy who had been humiliated was clearly a little annoyed.

Chen Ruolan wrapped her arms around his neck, and with evil spirits dangling in front of Fu Xun, she said, "Since we're already here, let's all come at once."

“I…” Fu Xun stared at Sanshui, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Ruolan.

She slowly opened her smiling eyes and said, "Since things have come to this, let's go with the flow. Sometimes being timid and hesitant makes one seem petty. She's just a girl, we can take care of her."

Fu Xun turned his head away and did not speak.

"Listen to my instructions. Little brat, you can go find that little guy in the suit. Sanshui and I will deal with the Fire Girl and the Muscle Man. The rest is up to Jin Ziyue to play with."

Chen Ruolan said.

After exchanging blows, she gained a general understanding of her opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and with her innate keen sense of combat, she was able to handle the situation with ease.

As Jin Ziyue pulled back to dissipate the force and stood still, the six opponents had also recovered and were staring intently at him.

The six were in relatively good condition, protected by the [Thigh Flesh Regeneration] ability. Unless they suffered fatal injuries, they could slowly recover. If this continued, they would eventually be able to seize the moment when Jin Ziyue made a mistake or ran out of energy and kill him.

Footsteps approached from behind Jin Ziyue.

Chen Ruolan stood beside Jin Ziyue, while Sanshui Linxin and Fu Xun stood in a row.

Jin Ziyue glanced at her.

Chen Ruolan gave him a reassuring look.

Jin Ziyue didn't ask any more questions.

Upon seeing the newcomers, their expressions clearly turned colder.

"I remember you, newcomer. You were a newly promoted Fate Master in the Southeast Branch a few years ago." Chu Pingqiu stared at Fu Xun, his expression unfriendly. "What, you don't know that if [Hundred Rivers Converge at the Sea] is stolen, the Fate Master clan will face annihilation?"

"Really? Probably." Fu Xun picked at his ear.

"Then why are you aiding and abetting evil!" Chu Pingqiu roared, pointing at Feng Qingqing, "It's obvious to all that Mingci is on the wanted list. Your face will soon be on the wanted list by the entire clan, and you'll suffer endless hunting down alongside this guy!"

He changed the subject, saying, "If you repent and join us in capturing this traitor, we can speak on your behalf to the elders above."

Fu Xun looked at him with disdain, and said with a sneer, "Who are you?"

"Me! You!" Chu Pingqiu was choked and speechless.

"You brat, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!" he said fiercely.

Wei Zheng frowned slightly. These two alone were already difficult to deal with, and now two more had arrived. He was already considering whether to retreat tonight.

However, he did not notice that the black jade on his thumb joint was emitting a faint black aura, which was swirling around his arm in wisps.

Xu Hong was exhausted. The frequent repairs of her injuries, which the five of them worked almost non-stop, were taking a toll on her.

"Pingqiu, why don't we retreat first?" Wei Zheng whispered to the young man beside him.

"No! If we miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to catch them again." Chu Pingqiu disregarded Wei Zheng's seniority and experience, and said coldly, "Captain, they are already at their last gasp. If we retreat now, it won't be easy to explain to Wen Gong when we get back."

"Yes, I didn't get their contact information," Zhang Rang said with considerable regret.

Wei Zheng glanced back at his wife, Xu Hong.

The woman supported his decision as always.

"If I remember correctly, you've always wanted a child, haven't you?" Chu Pingqiu said abruptly.

Wei Zheng and Xu Hong were taken aback.

“Hasn’t it been confirmed long ago that my sister-in-law has fertility problems?” Chu Pingqiu said. “With the strength of our Chu family, it’s not difficult to find a fertility certificate for grafting. There’s one enshrined in the ancestral hall. Brother Wei wouldn’t be unwilling to even try to give my sister-in-law a chance for something like this, would he?”

His eyes were full of smugness.

Wei Zheng was speechless, looking awkwardly at his wife behind him.

The woman pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent, her right hand resting on her left wrist, her nails digging into the flesh, leaving white marks.

……

On Jin Ziyue's side, Fu Xun quietly changed his life phrase to "Unpredictable and Shifting," ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.

[Startled and unsettled]

The holder possesses a terrifying speed of movement, so fast that even they themselves cannot accurately control their own movement trajectory.

San Shui Lin Xin summoned the Sword Attendant, who stood with him. Under the effect of [Soul Naturally Formed], the Sword Attendant seemed to have more spirituality, and its form was slightly different from the original.

Wei Zheng looked at the others.

A flame suddenly shot up in Zhang Xixi's hand.

Feng Qingqing remained silent and taciturn.

Zhang Rang chuckled: "No need to look at me, no need to look at me... I (blocked)"

"I understand." Wei Zheng gripped the broadsword tightly, his knuckles exceptionally strong.

"That's more like it." Chu Pingqiu smiled, revealing a superior smile.

Xu Hong silently reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's waist. Without saying much, they separated immediately.

Wei Zheng stepped forward, facing Jin Ziyue, and said in a deep voice, "Originally, we had no grudges against each other and shouldn't be driven to such extremes. However, not only you, but I also have reasons to fight. This time, there is no turning back. If you want to go further, then ask my sword."

After he finished speaking, the words of his command, "The Remaining Life of the Sword," rippled with extraordinary intensity, spreading outwards in concentric circles. His entire being, like a sharpened greatsword, slid down from its blade with a silvery sheen, making a clanging sound.
