Amidst the endless snowstorm, a dark red figure wielding twin blades appeared and disappeared like a phantom among the giants.
Two jet-black chains extended from the Yama Palace, connecting to the hilts of the twin swords. Every time Chen Muye swung the twin swords, the chains emitted an eerie dark light.
His figure flashed swiftly to the front of a frost giant, and before the giant could swing its fist, which was larger than a person, he slashed it across the chest, leaving a deep gash!
The chains on the hilt gleamed with dark light, and in the next instant, the frost giant seemed to have had its soul ripped out, losing all life in a flash!
One after another, the bodies of frost giants fell under Chen Muye's blade. His twin blades seemed to have transformed into the deadly hooks of the Black and White Impermanence, killing with a single blow wherever they went!
In the blink of an eye, he annihilated several giants of the same level. This was a strength that Chen Muye had never shown to the rest of the 136th Squad.
After slaying several frost giants, the other giants finally began to take this ant in front of them seriously. With a roar, endless frost condensed from nothingness. They held frost weapons and surged towards Chen Muye one after another!
Great axe, broadsword, javelin, shield...
The swirling chill relentlessly eroded Chen Muye's body, attempting to slow him down. However, within this forbidden ruin, he seemed to have no physical form whatsoever, and no matter how intense the chill became, it did not slow him down in the slightest!
He effortlessly dodged several attacks, then with a backhand slash, he snatched the soul of a giant, before unleashing another slash to block the axe of another frost giant!
Clang—!!
A crisp buzzing sound came, and Chen Muye's body was shaken backward. Then three more frost giants rushed up and roared as they swung their weapons!
At the same time, icicles shattered from the ground and pierced his back with precision!
Chen Muye's expression changed slightly!Just then, a longsword of frost swept in, shattering the ice behind Chen Muye in an instant. Chen Muye seized the opportunity, using his twin blades to block several giant axes, and using their force to spin half a circle in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.
He turned his head to look behind the tollbooth.A figure wearing a black trench coat, his face hidden under the hood, was walking towards them. He reached out and clenched his fist in the air, and another frost longsword materialized in his hand.
A gust of wind swept by, blowing off his hood and revealing a fair-skinned, quiet young man's face.
Chen Muyi frowned slightly. "Who are you?"
An Qingyu pushed up his glasses, then pulled his hood back up with a hint of helplessness. "Weren't you all looking for me?"
"The Mysterious Thief?" Chen Muye seemed to have thought of something. "Why did you help me?"
"Captain Chen, you're overthinking it. I'm not trying to help you," An Qingyu said slowly as he walked to his side. "I'm just fulfilling my duty as a citizen of Cangnan."
He squinted at the approaching frost giants, gripped his frost longsword tightly, and the surface of his glasses reflected a white light.
"After all... if my home is destroyed, I'll really have nowhere to go."
Chen Muye looked at him intently, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"You're younger than I imagined. Young people... there's always hope, even without a miracle..."
"A miracle?" An Qingyu frowned slightly. "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. Perhaps you'll understand later." Chen Muye shook his head, his gaze returning to the frost giant before him, and charged forward once more!
An Qingyu followed closely behind!
Two figures, one in red and one in black, rushed into the crowd of giants, like two longswords, instantly cutting out two paths. An Qingyu nimbly flashed to the top of a giant's head, raised the frost sword in his hand, and fiercely sliced the giant's head open!
Blood splattered on An Qingyu's glasses as he stared intently at the giant's brain exposed to the air, a layer of gray light covering his eyes.
He's analyzing!
"So that's how it's structured..." An Qingyu murmured to himself.
He raised his head and casually flicked his frost-covered longsword, which instantly pierced the forehead of a giant. The giant let out a painful howl the moment the sword tip pierced his brow, then collapsed heavily to the ground, lifeless.
"Captain Chen!" An Qingyu turned and shouted to Chen Muye, who was nimbly killing through the giants, "The fatal points are between the eyebrows and the sixth vertebra!"
Chen Muye raised an eyebrow, pulled out the Star Blade that was embedded in the giant's chest, and calmly said:
"It doesn't matter; to me, it's all a one-hit kill."
An Qingyu:...
"There's more good news," An Qingyu said again.
"What?"
"Your teammates are arriving."
Upon hearing this, Chen Muye was taken aback. "What did you say?"
Whoosh—!
A long spear, wreathed in rose-colored flames, fell from the sky, instantly piercing the body of a frost giant and crashing to the ground. The flames it generated dispersed a large area of ice around it!
A slender figure, draped in a red cloak, landed lightly beside the gun, pulled out a long spear from the ground, and grinned at the stunned Chen Muye.
"Captain, you didn't expect this! We're back again!"
A light, thin gauze garment draped gracefully over their bodies. Chen Muye looked down at the familiar garment and murmured to himself:
"[Veil of No Fate]..."
He turned around and saw Wu Xiangnan, Wen Qimo, Leng Xuan, and Si Xiaonan had walked up to him at some point, all looking somewhat helpless.
"Captain, it's a bit underhanded of you to secretly send us away like that," Wen Qimo grinned.
"I felt there was something wrong with his expression at the time, but I didn't expect him to fall for the trap." Wu Xiangnan sighed.
"Didn't you already arrive in the capital? How did you get back?" Chen Muye was stunned and asked incredulously.
Upon hearing this, all four of them looked somewhat embarrassed.
Wen Qimo scratched his head and couldn't help but ask, "Captain, how much do you think it would cost to repair a Boeing 737?"
Chen Muye:...
"You guys... stole a plane and flew it back yourself?!" Chen Muye's mouth dropped open.
The four nodded.
"Captain, shouldn't this expense be reimbursed?" Wen Qimo asked again.
Chen Muye's mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Probably, perhaps... it might be covered."
"That's good." The four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"I never expected that you, Chen Muye, would do something so stupid."
Wu Xiangnan shook his head and walked to Chen Muye's side. Beside him were Wen Qimo, Leng Xuan, Si Xiaonan, Hong Ying, and An Qingyu, who was wearing a hood.
"What kind of hero is someone who tries to be a hero?" Leng Xuan said slowly, glancing back at the distant city before continuing.
"Cangnan is our Cangnan. If we're going to be heroes, then our 136th Squad should be heroes too... shouldn't we?"
Chen Muye opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. He could only shake his head helplessly and say with a wry smile.
"I just can't do anything with you guys..."
"Then let's be heroes together."
An Qingyu turned his head and stared blankly at the group of people standing side by side in front of the surging giant. After a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"It seems... that's not bad?"
