National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 301 - 300: I Really Don’t Know Where This Monster Came From

Lying on the ground, Xiao Cangqing’s eyes were wide open, blood steadily trickling from them.

Now, after some time had passed, his physical condition had recovered slightly.

He raised a hand to wipe his nose and mouth, the back of it coming away covered in blood.

But Xiao Cangqing could now barely move. Not only were the outsiders shocked,

but he himself had been convinced he was going to die.

However, Chu He had stepped directly between him and Uzi, blocking Uzi’s fatal attack.

Uzi hovered in the air, his eyes narrowing slowly.

He stared at Chu He, a sinister, cold light glinting in his eyes.

"You’re stronger than him," Uzi said grimly. "Are you trying to make an enemy of me by saving him?"

Xiao Cangqing had been constantly speculating about the true extent of Chu He’s current power,

but that simple move just now

had shown both him and Uzi the vast gap between them.

Even Xiao Cangqing in his Perfect State couldn’t have blocked Uzi’s full-power attack as effortlessly as Chu He just had.

This realization left Xiao Cangqing deeply dejected.

After obtaining the Bloodline Power of the Vampire Clan’s Ancestor, this was supposed to be his first official debut in the public eye, yet he had suffered one setback after another.

When he’d obtained the Bloodline Power of the Vampire Clan’s Ancestor,

he had endured immense pain and was nearly consumed by a backlash from that very power.

If he had died back then,

his body would now be nothing more than a vessel for the Vampire Clan Ancestor’s Bloodline Power.

But at the most critical moment, Xiao Cangqing had summoned a superhuman will,

tenaciously resisting the power’s invasion. In the end, he turned the tables and absorbed it for himself.

But now, it seemed it hadn’t amounted to much after all.

He still couldn’t defeat Chu He, the man he had always considered his one true enemy.

Then some reckless kid glowing with green light had appeared out of nowhere, and he couldn’t beat him either.

He had even been brutally thrashed by him.

If Chu He hadn’t suddenly intervened, Xiao Cangqing would be dead without a doubt!

"He can’t die yet."

Chu He replied calmly, "Because I still have some questions for him. If you kill him, I’ll have no way of finding the answers."

Chu He had originally planned to wait until after the Lighthouse Empire’s Martial Arts Academy ranking tournament was over

before making a move on Xiao Cangqing to get the information he wanted.

He never expected that just as the Martial Arts Academy ranking tournament was beginning,

some spoiler would crash the party, attacking Xiao Cangqing directly and even trying to kill him.

Chu He wanted to know what kind of existence was trying to destroy Blue Star,

and currently, his only known source for that information was Xiao Cangqing.

If Chu He already knew the answer to this question, he naturally wouldn’t have stopped Uzi from killing Xiao Cangqing.

"Then I’ll just have to kill you too."

Uzi nodded in understanding, a wicked look on his face.

Chu He just smiled faintly and said nothing.

Uzi instantly blurred into an afterimage and charged directly at Chu He.

Chu He hovered in mid-air, his posture straight and tall, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

A faint ripple of energy surrounded him, yet he remained surprisingly still.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s, locked onto a single point in the void,

a point that seemed to hide some unknown secret.

With a low roar, Chu He suddenly threw a punch. His movement was as fast as lightning streaking across the night sky, too quick for the eye to follow.

This was no blind punch; its target was precisely where Uzi was about to materialize before everyone’s eyes.

To onlookers, it looked as if Chu He was punching at empty air,

but in reality, he had already seen through his opponent’s move and predicted Uzi’s trajectory.

In that instant, the air seemed to tear, leaving an invisible rift,

and in the next moment, Uzi’s figure emerged like a phantom, right in the path of Chu He’s fist.

The moment they collided, a harsh, muffled BANG erupted, like stone striking metal, making the very space around them tremble slightly.

Chu He’s fist landed solidly on Uzi’s chest,

which seemed to be covered in a layer of invisible, indestructible armor.

It completely absorbed the heavy, powerful blow.

Chu He felt an indescribable rebound force travel up from his fist,

as if he hadn’t struck flesh and blood, but a bulwark forged from ten-thousand-year-old ice.

He couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at the strength of Uzi’s physical defense, which was beyond imagination.

He knew that while he hadn’t used his full strength, it was by no means a punch that an ordinary person could withstand.

And yet, Uzi merely staggered slightly, the corner of his mouth curving into a cold smirk.

That smile held both an acknowledgment of Chu He’s strength and a confidence in his own Undying Body.

Chu He stared at Uzi’s practically unscathed chest, a sense of shock and curiosity rising within him.

To Chu He, Uzi’s very existence was undoubtedly a great mystery.

He wasn’t just a powerful enemy with an indestructible body;

he was also a being who possessed a complex humanity.

Although this humanity had been twisted into a negative form,

Chu He could still sense a faint, imperceptible fluctuation of emotion from him.

This contradiction and conflict sparked a deep interest in Uzi’s origins within Chu He.

He wondered to himself, ’Where exactly did Uzi come from?’

’Why does he possess such astonishing power and regenerative abilities?’

’And what kind of secrets and stories are hidden behind him?’

"This Uzi has completed an evolution."

said Abbot Tonghua, the monk who had been silent until now.

Abbot Tonghua’s eyes were slightly closed, yet they seemed to contain a boundless radiance.

When he slowly opened his eyes, within those profound depths,

the very center of his pupils was pierced by a golden light, which bloomed with a dazzling yet gentle brilliance.

This was the Celestial Eye, one of the supreme secret arts of the Buddhist Sect!

At that moment, it was as if the entire world had been put in slow motion; the trajectory of all things became exceptionally clear and slow in his eyes.

In the air, the fine dust particles, usually imperceptible, now danced in the light.

Their trajectories, speeds, and even their collisions and mergers,

could not escape the perception of Abbot Tonghua’s Celestial Eye.

This wasn’t just a feast for the eyes; it was a profound understanding of the laws governing the universe.

On the ground, the bizarrely shaped and rapidly growing plants...

...under the gaze of the Celestial Eye, their growth process was infinitely magnified,

every single inch of their growth becoming clearly discernible.

From the moment a seed broke through the soil, to its roots spreading through the earth, to its leaves swaying gently in the breeze.

And when his gaze turned to the distant battlefield, the fierce clash between Chu He and Uzi became a series of exquisitely detailed images.

The whistling of their fists, the light and ripples from their colliding energies—all of it was deconstructed into countless minute fragments from the perspective of the Celestial Eye.

Every movement, every gathering and release of power, was captured in perfect detail.

Abbot Tonghua could even feel the emotional fluctuations deep within the two combatants, as well as their different understandings of power and survival.

"I really don’t know where this monster came from."

Even the Bishop from the Bright Holy See wore a solemn expression.

He knew full well that if they had to face such a monster, it would be incredibly troublesome.

They might even fare worse than Xiao Cangqing had.

To actually evolve and get stronger in the middle of a fight... it was simply unbelievable!
