Dragon Gate Swordsman

But Chen Huijie learned a method from Chongxiao: No matter what!

The azure and red sword energy burst out, but the target was not Veltrosa's illusion, but the sky above the garden.

In an instant, a series of extremely fierce but superficial slashes rose into the sky, wantonly tearing apart the spreading source stone energy... That's right, what Chen Huijie really wanted to solve was the barrier that "trapped" her and Texas.

I guess the invisible attack launched by Veltrosa relies on this thing.

"Go ahead! Don't let her get away!"

Along with Texas' voice, there appeared dimensional slashes flashing around Chen Huijie... They intercepted the waves in the air with amazing accuracy, and then turned into waves of exploding sound.

It turned out that the so-called invisible attack was actually the sound waves created by Veltrosa in some way.

The direction from which the sound waves came has already indicated the enemy's location!

The lounge on the third floor... Chen Huijie quickly locked onto the room, raised Tianya high, concentrated the sword intent, and then guided the energy of heaven and earth to release it together!

The True Art of Controlling Thunder: Breaking!

In an instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning shot out and pierced through the door and roof of the lounge.

A violent roar echoed over the street, causing countless Longmen citizens to look over here in astonishment... The employees of Voice of Tavis had already realized that something had gone wrong, but no one dared to come over.

The illusion of Veltrosa had completely lost the calmness and composure he had just had, and his figure began to become blurred until it completely disappeared.

But before Chen Huijie and Texas could breathe a sigh of relief, strange notes were heard again from the room that had just been blasted open by thunder.

The reason why it is weird is that the sound is very faint, yet extremely clear, and sounds soothing and sad, as if it is about to give up everything and even want to leave this world.

Chen Huijie, who was about to jump to the third floor, suddenly paused and her expression began to change... She was very sure that she should catch Velterosa as soon as possible, but for some reason, she felt from the bottom of her heart that it was meaningless even if she could do it.

This feeling was so real that in this situation, Xiao Longnu, who had always been resolute and firm in her beliefs, actually became timid and hesitant...

The situation in Texas was not very optimistic either. She only felt that the small Leitania garden in front of her was undergoing a strange distortion, and gradually turned into a luxurious villa that was burning in the rainy night.

"here it is……"

I could vaguely hear a familiar wailing sound, and it seemed to include Celinina's name.

No... No! Why am I still thinking about this!?

She shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of the inexplicable regret and sadness, but the hallucinations that followed became more and more.

The silent and cold rainy night at Longmen, the bloodthirsty and crazy grin of the white-haired girl, the endless deserted wilderness... The life of Celinina Texas seemed to be trapped in the past, and there was no way...

and many more!

Just then, Texas suddenly saw someone.

"Chongxiao...is that you?"

She staggered, opened her eyes wide, trying to see through the heavy darkness and coldness, and raised her hands hard to grasp the only light.

However, at this moment, the figure suddenly shattered and disappeared in the distorted vision...

Texas was stunned.

Now she can no longer distinguish what is illusion and what is reality, she only knows that she seems to have... lost Chongxiao?

No... No! It shouldn't be like this!

Veltrosa, you shouldn't do this...

Flames of anger appeared in Texas' pupils. Since Velterosa wanted to attack her with her past, she must pay the price!

At the same time, the Yama Blade seemed to sense its master's emotions and began to ring uncontrollably!

Under the uncontrollable and drastic emotional changes, Texas' consciousness has become a little dazed... and this time, what she saw was no longer the man who was so powerful that he could almost ignore everything, but a figure that exploded in endless anger.

"Yanma Blade! GIVE ME POWER!"

In an instant, an ominous and terrifying magical power rose into the sky, dyeing the sky above the street a chaotic blue, causing bursts of roars and making people nearby scream in panic.

Senior!?

Chen Huijie, who was also tormented by the abnormal mood, was stunned. In her eyes, Texas's long black hair turned white in an instant, and his eyes released a cold red light.

But what shocked Xiao Long Nu more than these changes was the phantom incarnation that appeared behind Texas, more than a meter tall... His entire body was covered in metal armor, with bone spurs and wings on his back, his palms were like the claws of a ferocious beast, and from his elbows extended a sharp weapon that was almost as tall as the Yama Sword.

Immediately afterwards, before Chen Huijie could react, Texas suddenly jumped!

A deep pit instantly appeared on the ground in the garden. At the same time, the hideous phantom incarnation appeared in the room with the roof blown open, and appeared in front of... Veltrosa, who was looking terrified.

"DIE!"

As if he had lost his mind, Texas used his killing move without hesitation, and the shadow of the Yama Sword appeared in the hand of the huge phantom incarnation, slashing down with terrifying power!

At the critical moment, Veltrosa no longer cared to hold back and directly pulled the violin in her hand, which was shaped like a staff, and played what might be the most powerful note in her life.

The power of the Yama Blade confronted the musical notes that embodied the Originium technique head-on, causing an explosion far more powerful than before.

Several employee lounges and VIP reception rooms of Voice of Tavis were reduced to ash. If it had not been afternoon and the place was empty, no one could imagine how many casualties would have been caused.

Even so, Chongxiao and Xingxiong, who had just arrived, were so frightened when they saw this that they broke out in cold sweats!

The two of them didn't bother to check the situation and rushed directly into the smoke caused by the explosion...

"Xingxiong! Go see Xiao Longnu. Leave Texas to me!"

"understood!"

Looking at the demonized Texas standing quietly in the ruins, Xingxiong gritted his teeth, bypassed her and rushed towards Chen Huijie in the distance.

Chongxiao walked over step by step and slowly raised his right hand...

"It's me, Texas... calm down..."

He thought it wouldn't be that easy, but when Texas noticed him, his fierce aura suddenly relaxed, his white hair gradually returned to its original color, and the phantom incarnation behind him quickly dissipated into the air.

Then, Texas staggered over and gently fell into Chongxiao's arms.

"Very good……"

That's why I told you not to act rashly and to notify me immediately.

Chongxiao breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and looked at the street behind the ruins... The suspect, who went by the alias Veltrosa, was lying in the mess of building wreckage, apparently unconscious.

Judging from the blood flowing from her head and arms, her injuries were probably serious.

Take him back first to save his life, and then let me see who you are...

Chapter 161 The Crime Is Not So Serious

Wei Yanwu didn't need weapons, but he had to admit that when he first saw what Chongxiao sent him, the hesitation that hadn't arisen for a long time surged up from the bottom of his heart.

Hero Sword.

Is it the person who wields the sword who can be called a hero, or does the sword itself symbolize heroic qualities?

Chongxiao didn't say anything, and Wei Yanwu didn't want to ask, but there was one thing he could confirm...

The ruler of Longmen is never a hero.

After a crisp "clang" sound, the trembling heroic sword was bathed in the warm afternoon sun, pointing obliquely towards the sky.

Over the past year, from the initial hesitation and resistance to the current difficulty in letting go, Wei Yanwu has become accustomed to performing a vigorous sword dance in the morning and afternoon... Compared to the Chixiao sword energy that dominates the world and looks down on everything, the brilliance of the Hero Sword is far less domineering and sharp. Instead, it is moderate and peaceful, but also has the firmness and courage worthy of the word hero.

As a rare sword master in this land, Wei Yanwu can feel the aura and characteristics contained in the Hero Sword itself, as if an ancient hero resides in it, possessing an impeccable and perfect character.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Dayan that there is a great and righteous spirit between heaven and earth, which is also the source of the beliefs of all upright knights and cultivators... Before obtaining the Hero Sword, Wei Yanwu had always kept his distance from it, because the so-called great and righteous spirit was almost contrary to Chi Xiao's sword intent of not distinguishing between right and wrong, good and evil, and only caring about killing the target.

Just like Dugu Nine Swords and Tai Chi Sword, the two have very different routines and purposes, and forcing them to be used together will only backfire.

However, in fact, no matter it is Dugu Nine Swords or Tai Chi Sword, they will eventually step into the realm where no moves are better than moves... All things and methods have different paths but the same destination. Although being ruthless and heartless can bring out the Chixiao sword energy to its strongest state, how many of the great heroes who have left their names in history did so?

Wei Yanwu never imagined that a heroic sword could actually allow him to break free from the shackles of the Chixiao sword energy and see a higher realm of swordsmanship.

The sword's edge shines like stars, even when the sun is shining brightly in the sky; the aura swirls like fairy mist rolling over the mountaintops, and there is an early autumn breeze blowing from the west that lingers for a long time; the shape and meaning are free, like the shadow of a real dragon circling, even if the edge is hidden in the dust, the ambition is still there...

At this moment, if Chongxiao could witness this sword dance that seemed calm and steady but actually contained countless changes, he would definitely cheer for Wei Yanwu secretly.

"call……"

Even after the confrontation with Tracys, the Regent of Kazdel, Wei Yanwu did not breathe heavily. However, the sword dance that lasted only ten minutes had soaked his hair with sweat.

The changes and benefits brought by the Hero Sword can be imagined...

Although the present-day Longmen is not yet a land of peace and prosperity, it no longer requires him, the governor, to handle many matters personally. Therefore, he has a lot of free time even during normal working hours, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to perform such a sword dance.

After carefully and attentively placing the Hero Sword on the specially customized shelf, Wei Yanwu turned around and walked to the window.

Ever since he learned about Tallulah and the Reunion, the Governor of Lungmen has been unable to sleep or eat... He never regretted the choice he made, but he just couldn't forgive himself for not being able to do better.

More than a month has passed since Mo Hai left Longmen. If all goes well, he should have been in touch with the Integration Movement by now, so I believe new information will be reported back soon.

The question is, what kind of feelings does Tallulah have towards Longmen and her uncle now?

Wei Yanwu was not very optimistic. After all, with Koschei's ability, it was not difficult to distort Tallulah's cognition and ideas. However, he was not mentioned in all the current intelligence, so it was difficult to determine whether he was still plotting in the dark.

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"It's me. What's the matter... that kid again? Humph! Keep going... the Fallen of Lateran. If that's the case, then... what? It's actually her!?"

……

All was well in Texas, at least on the surface.

Due to excessive fatigue and mental exhaustion, she fell into a deep sleep close to coma, but both the scans and tests by medical equipment and the sensing by Chongxiao using his psychic power could confirm that she was not injured.

Therefore, Xingxiong volunteered to drive Texas back to his residence, while Chen Huijie from Chongxiao stayed behind to monitor Veltrosa.

The Third Municipal Hospital, which has a cooperative relationship with the Imperial Guard Bureau, provides medical treatment for suspects and criminals. It also has a prison ward specially built for easy custody... Just a few minutes ago, Veltrosa, who had just finished first aid, was transferred here. In addition to bandages and cotton wool, he also had elastic bands to bind his hands.

But honestly, they meant nothing, because Texas's full-strength blow left Veltrosa far more seriously injured than it looked.

The fingers on her left hand were broken, and the bones of her right hand below the elbow were severely fractured. Her nervous system, which was overly compressed, showed signs of atrophy after spasming out of control... It can be said that although she tried her best to block the fatal attack, the price she paid was unimaginable.

"Neurological hemiplegia? What does that mean?"

"Well... let's put it this way. Even if we assume the most optimistic attitude, she will never be able to act like a normal person again."

The doctor in charge of the emergency treatment said carefully: "She is lucky to be able to stand up. If she wants to walk, she will probably need a cane or someone else's support. But considering that both of her hands are... well, compared to being completely paralyzed, her greatest luck is that she can still crawl on the ground on her own."

This is a cruel statement, but it is also close to the truth.

Veltrosa's physical fitness was obviously not very good. She relied entirely on her strange Originium skills to put pressure on Chen Huijie and Texas. It could even be said that it was a miracle that she could block the full-strength slash of the demonized being.

"…We made a mistake, Chongxiao."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Texas to..."

He can actually transform into a demon by relying on the power of the Yama Sword.

Logically speaking, this should only be something that someone with a unique bloodline could do. Chongxiao did not find the specific information in his fragmented memories, but he was very sure that Texas definitely did not have that kind of bloodline.

After all, it doesn't seem to be something that exists on this land at all...

So the question is: Are these weapons that I "forged" out of thin air just simple combat tools, or... blessings manifested in the form of "swords"?

Never mind, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is to first figure out who Velterosa is. Her real name is definitely not this.

The two looked at each other, then walked into the "ward" where Velterosa was imprisoned.

Chongxiao usually wouldn't show mercy when fighting criminals. After all, most of the residents of Terra were thick-skinned and strong, and they were very durable. But this time, he did feel that Texas's demonization was a bit too much...

Veltrosa was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his head and body wrapped in bandages, and his right arm was restrained with an auxiliary fixator, otherwise the serious bone fracture might lead to amputation.

Her long legs wrapped in black stockings were perhaps the only part of her body that had not been seriously injured, and the only piece of clothing that had been preserved... As for her dress and gloves, they had either been torn into pieces in the battle or cut open by the emergency doctors.

In short, even Chongxiao, who had previously concluded that she was extremely dangerous, couldn't bear to look at her.

For injuries of this degree, there is probably no hope with current medical technology unless I use Taixu Resurrection myself.

"Her crimes do not warrant such...severe punishment."

"Not always."

"Chongxiao!"

Chen Huijie, who was already depressed, glared at him. "If she hadn't been lucky, she would have died at the hands of Senior Texas. The crime of instigation wouldn't be... not to this extent!"

It seems that Xiaolongnu can still make sense at the critical moment, which makes Chongxiao feel very relieved.
