Following the marks left by Sakura, Luo Chen saw many people lying on the ground along the way, all of them bearing marks of Honkai energy corrosion, the most severely affected of whom had already been transformed into zombies.
Seeing them lying on the ground in agony, Luo Chen watched coldly and used the Earthly Treasury Soul to help them escape their suffering.
"Why bother?"
Luo Chen sighed, his heart heavy, and slowed his pace. Even if he went there now, it wouldn't change the outcome. He should wait for Hill and the others.
"You finally came."
A wave of heat swept through the entire corridor. Luo Chen watched Kevin slowly walk over, carrying the Heavenly Fire Judgment, and gripped the Earthly Treasury Soul tightly, staring directly at him.
"Kevin, what are you doing here?"
The Heavenly Fire Judgment pierced the ground, and Kevin's azure eyes coldly stared at Luo Chen. Just by standing there, Luo Chen felt an immense sense of oppression.
"The cherry blossoms are gone, I'm here to wait for you."
"Wait for me, why?"
"May sent me here to stop you."
Kevin raised the Heavenly Fire with one hand, the tip of the sword pointing at Luo Chen, the blazing flames leaping on it, and Luo Chen dared not be careless in the slightest.
Luo Chen wasn't confident enough to challenge Kevin. Since Kevin was blocking his way, why not just stay away and not fight him?
"Brother Luo Chen, what's the situation now?"
Hill and his companion caught up and saw Kevin confronting Luo Chen. Hill's eyes first showed fear, then worry.
"We just wait here."
"What about Sister Ying?"
"The matter is already settled, and this is just a bubble in the world."
Luo Chen's words silenced Hill. Admittedly, this was just a bubble world, and what had happened was irreversible, but she still wanted to go and see how Sakura was doing.
"Um, is everything alright with Sakura-neechan?"
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Just charge in!"
Hei Xi seemed a little impatient. She took out a scythe and was about to run over and stab Kevin when Luo Chen grabbed the scythe handle and dragged her back.
"Don't get too excited, I can't beat that guy over there."
Luo Chen whispered to Hei Xi, pulled her behind him, and smiled awkwardly at Kevin. Kevin didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Luo Chen.
"Kevin, how are things on your end?"
Mei contacted Kevin through her earpiece. Kevin stared at Luo Chen, who dared not make a move, and said in a deep voice, "I've stopped Chen."
"You must stop him and not let him get close."
"Okay, how's it going on your end?"
“Sakura is fighting the Twelfth Herrscher, and I’m trying to get her to seduce her. You need to keep Chen calm and prevent him from coming over.”
"understood."
Kevin ended the call and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Chen still had no intention of making a move. Although he didn't know why Mei had repeatedly insisted that he stop Chen, it was better than nothing that he had done the right thing.
"Old Black, is there a way to get over there?"
Luo Chen still wanted to check on Ying's condition and tried to call Hei Chen out to see if he could do anything.
"There is a solution, but it's a bit troublesome."
"What's the solution? Tell me."
"If there's a way, things will be much easier," Luo Chen anxiously asked Hei Chen, fearing that it would be too late if he waited any longer.
“When you were fighting Kiana in the Imaginary Space, I secretly absorbed a portion of the Herrscher of the Void’s Honkai energy. You could actually use the Herrscher of the Void’s power to teleport there directly.”
"Then let me try?"
"You'd better not try, I'll do it."
"I haven't fully recovered yet, have I?"
"That doesn't mean I can't use it anymore. Come on, I'm better than you."
Although Hei Chen's words infuriated Luo Chen, he had to admit that Hei Chen made a valid point. All indications suggested that Hei Chen's strength far surpassed his own, and it would indeed be safer to entrust the operation to him.
"That's fine."
Luo Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Hei Chen had logged in. Hei Chen carried the Jizo Soul on his shoulder, turned around and smiled gently at Hill.
"Little one, did you miss me?"
"Master, Master?!"
Hill's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit a light bulb. She couldn't understand why Luo Chen had suddenly changed so much, giving her the feeling of going back to the past.
"We'll talk about other things later. I'll take you there first."
Hei Chen patted Hei Xi's head, and before Hei Xi could get angry, he casually opened a spatial door, picked up Hei Xi, and threw her inside. Then he looked at Xi'er and gestured for her to go in by herself.
"Then I'll be going now, Master!"
Hill gave Black Dust a playful smile, then jumped into the portal with her feet together. Black Dust retracted the portal, turned to face Kevin, several dragon scales appearing on her face, and beckoned to Kevin.
"Kevin, wanna have a match?"
Kevin remained expressionless, but the thin layer of ice on the wall proved that he had accepted Luo Chen's challenge.
The flames on the Heavenly Judgment intensified, melting the ice on the wall. Kevin stepped forward, and the Heavenly Judgment in his hand swept forward with unstoppable force, attacking Luo Chen directly.
Luo Chen blurred through Kevin's body, turned around and swung his sword. Just as it was about to strike Kevin, Kevin reacted quickly and blocked it.
"We've played so many matches before, how many did you win against me?"
As Hei Chen retreated, he brandished his knife, deliberately feigning a thoughtful expression and putting on a relaxed demeanor.
"I've won one more game than you."
The Heavenly Judgment descended, its blazing flames shattering the ceiling lights and causing the electrical circuits to crackle, but it had no effect on the two of them.
"Is that so? Then I'll accept this victory!"
Hei Chen raised the Jizo Mitama high and slashed down with tremendous force. Kevin raised his sword to meet it. Just as the two weapons were about to collide, Hei Chen put away the Jizo Mitama and kicked Kevin in an extremely strange posture.
Kevin was kicked backward by the unexpected kick, his face dark as he stared intently at the laughing Black Dust. He never expected Black Dust to resort to underhanded tactics.
"What's wrong? Are you angry? Hahaha, I love seeing your grumpy face! You're so stubborn all the time, serves you right for getting tricked by me."
"Since you're going to do it this way, then I won't be polite."
Kevin regained his footing and, to Hei Chen's astonishment, activated the Heavenly Fire Judgment to Annihilation Mode. He froze the soaring flames with ice, leaving Hei Chen numb as he watched the Annihilation Mode crumble.
"Seriously?! You're using the Cataclysm against me?!"
Black Dust looked at Kevin with a wronged expression. He had only made a joke, hadn't he? Why did he have to use the Destroyer to kill him?
"You brought this on yourself, don't blame me."
"Kevin, do you believe me or not? If you dare to cut me down, I'll die right here and now!"
"Then go and die and see for yourself."
"No, do you even consider me your best friend anymore?"
"My dear friend, isn't that just Su? Who are you? Sorry, we're really not acquainted."
Hearing Kevin's words, Hei Chen's face turned green with anger. Good heavens, is this how you play the game? Then don't blame me for getting myself into trouble.
"You've stopped loving me, and yet you treat me like this!"
Hei Chen clutched his chest, feigning injury, and the next second he took out the Jizo Soul and slashed at Kevin with a blade of light, taking the opportunity to escape through the spatial gate.
"Goodbye, Luda!"
Kevin blocked the blade's edge and, seeing that Hei Chen had already fled, realized something was wrong and quickly contacted Mei to discuss a solution.
"Mei, Chen slipped away."
"...I understand, you should hurry and go after them."
There was a moment of silence in the earphones, followed by Mei's sigh. Since Chen had already run away, there was no point in stopping him anymore. Now, all they could do was get Kevin over there as soon as possible.
Chapter 171 Falling Cherry Blossoms
Hill jumped out of the portal and saw Black Hill getting up from the ground, cursing and swearing, constantly cursing Black Dust for suddenly throwing her in.
"Sister Hill, where is that guy?"
The portals were all closed, but Black Dust still hadn't appeared. Hei Xi was a little curious as to why he hadn't followed. Safety wasn't a concern for her at all, although she felt Black Dust wasn't easily injured.
"Master is stopping Kevin."
Hill's happy expression puzzled Hei Xi. In her eyes, Hei Chen and Luo Chen were no different, but it was a different story for Hill. Although they were the same person, Luo Chen felt less familiar to Hill than Hei Chen, probably because Luo Chen had no memories of spending time with her.
"Didn't he say he couldn't beat them?"
Hei Xi found it strange. He had just said that he couldn't beat Kevin, but now he was stopping Kevin. Wasn't he contradicting himself?
"I don't know what happened, but it seems like Master has suddenly become stronger? And his memories have come back too."
Hill didn't know exactly what was going on, and given the current situation, they couldn't possibly chase after them, so they decided to just wait here for Black Dust to arrive.
