Chapter 429 Undercurrent
"boom!"

Vesta's powerful punch hit Chen Duo hard, but was wrapped by the transparent Qi in Chen Duo's hand, and finally - turned into nothingness!
"What's going on? My rune power has disappeared?" Vesta was shocked.

"boom!"

The next moment, Chen Duo struck back with his backhand, and this punch directly blasted Vesta away and smashed him into the stone wall of the mountain.

"Huh?" Not to mention Vesta, even Wang Zhenqiu, Xia Liuqing and others who were watching the game noticed something unusual about Chen Duo.

The ability to negate spells cast by others is very intriguing.

Compared to outsiders, Zhang Chulan, who knew the truth, was even more shocked. Now he knew the existence of the Qi infant in his body, but he was unable to mobilize the power of the "divine spirit" in the Qi infant.

But Chen Duo can use this power very well. His talent is amazing.

After knocking Vesta away with a punch, Chen Duo turned around and attacked, sweeping Elijah in front of him with a clean and neat whip kick.

Elijah leaped back and fired several shots at the same time. Although the Qi bullets in these shots had limited power, they had strange tracking capabilities.

After drawing several arc-shaped tracks in the air, it shot towards Chen Duo from different directions.

These were actually "tracking Qi bombs". Chen Duo dodged several times but still couldn't avoid them. He had no choice but to focus the true Qi in his body between his palms and legs to disperse these Qi bombs one by one.

Taking this opportunity, Elijah called out to his companions, "Vestal, retreat!"

Knowing that the task was impossible, Elijah did not want to lose his life here for a mere mission, so he decided to escape decisively.

Although this guy was a long-range attacker, he was quite skilled. With a few leaps, he escaped from Chen Duo's sight. Seeing this, Ji Zhen chased after him.

Elijah has a special identity. As the Nathan Guard of Nathan Island, he must know a lot of inside information about Nathan.

What's more, this person has sneaked into the country again and again, and is also related to the mysterious force behind Ma Xianhong. This deserves Jizhen's further attention.

"Zhang Chulan, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll be back soon." As he said that, Jizhen followed the direction Elijah fled and chased after him.

Seeing this, Chen Duo set her sights on Elijah's companion Vesta. Not long after, in the huge mountain belly, apart from the employer Liu Mingyuan and Judy, only Zhang Chulan and his group were left.

"Okay!" Zhang Chulan rubbed his hands and said, "It's just these two. It won't take a minute to put them away."

After Zhang Chulan and others took the initiative, they began to look for Wu Gensheng's treasure.

Jizhen followed Elijah all the way and soon stopped him in the woods outside the Twenty-Four Sections Valley.

"I didn't expect you to run so fast," Jizhen said.

"I have already given up this mercenary mission, why are you still holding on to me?" Elijah frowned.

"Because I'm curious, who hired you?" Jizhen asked.

According to Mr. Zhao from the company, the group of people who hired Elijah are the same group of mysterious people who rescued Ma Xianhong.

These people, or this mysterious organization, were secretly monitoring all news about the "Eight Great Skills of Jiashen".

For Jizhen, although these people are a nuisance, they will also come out to disrupt the situation at a critical moment, so it is better to eliminate them in advance.

"For us mercenaries, keeping secrets for our employers is our professional ethics. So, I have nothing to say." Elijah said, spreading his hands.

"Your identity is more than just a mercenary. As a Nasen Guard, you are doing the activities of a mercenary. If your king knew about it, he would probably be suspicious." Ji Zhen said meaningfully.

"It's not that the employer's secrets cannot be disclosed, but what benefit can I get from it?" Elijah wanted to bargain. "Benefit? Is saving your life considered a benefit?" Jizhen asked back.

The fleeting murderous intent made Elijah hold back his next words.

"Okay, you win. Tell me, what do you want to know?" Elijah asked.

"Everything about the employer." Jizhen replied.

"Well, actually I don't know much. The other party contacted us through encrypted channels on the mercenary network. The general idea was to protect the woman named Judy and search for a batch of collections at the same time." Elijah said.

"Is that all?" Jizhen asked back.

"Of course... not only that, they also asked me some information about the island, most of which was related to a strange man living in a cave. They seemed to call him... Master Seventeen."

Elijah looked at the expressionless Jizhen and continued, "I suspect that this Seventeenth Master is also their target, but the island has always been xenophobic, and outsiders cannot go to Nasen Island at will."

"Nasen Island, Master Seventeen?" Jizhen seemed to be thinking about something.

Next, Jizhen asked Elijah some more questions. This time, Elijah was very cooperative and told Jizhen all the information he knew that could be made public.

"You refused to say anything before, why do you now tell me everything?" Jizhen asked.

"I can't help it. My life is more important." Elijah said, "Besides, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. It's better to establish a good relationship first."

"I heard that the indigenous people of Nasen Island are very xenophobic, and people like you are rare." Jizhen said casually.

"It's all for the sake of living." Elijah said thoughtfully: "After all, times have changed!"

After Jizhen got the information he wanted, Chen Duo also appeared beside the two of them, and threw the injured and unconscious Vesta to the ground casually.

Elijah said, "Jizhen, can I take my companions and leave here?"

"Okay!" Jizhen paused and said, "I hope that next time I see you, it won't be as a mercenary."

"Don't worry, I promise." Elijah carried Vesta on his back and left.

Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, Chen Duo said, "Jizhen, are we just going to let him go like this?"

"This person is very sensible. Besides, he is Nathanwei after all. If a diplomatic dispute is caused, it will have a bad impact on the company." Jizhen replied.

"But I don't like him." Chen Duo frowned.

"Why?" Jizhen asked.

"He wears too many masks." Chen Duo explained: "Such a person is very hypocritical."

"Really?" Ji Zhen agreed with Chen Duo's intuition very much.

But he still said: "I have a feeling that we will have dealings with Mr. Elijah in the future, so let's make a good relationship with him first."

After hearing this, Chen Duo nodded.

The two walked side by side, returning to the Twenty-Four Sections Valley, where the battle seemed to be over.
