PS: I actually wanted to call this chapter 《Old Town Road》.

Amidst the silence, Guo Qiang silently stared at Lin Yu's back as it gradually disappeared. She had abandoned them without even looking back … Even though this was exactly what he had hoped for, when it really happened, it still made him feel exceptionally powerless.
"Has she left?" He muttered softly.
"Yes."
Huai Shi sighed and nodded, "But I'll catch up with her soon and kill her. I hope she doesn't run too far …"
His tone was as if he was playing a game of hide-and-seek. After she hid well, he would go and find her.
But wasn't this a game?
It was from the beginning.
It was just that some people were destined not to enjoy it.
Guo Qiang stared at Huai Shi's indifferent expression and slowly shook his head, "The Lin family won't let you go."
Huai Shi scratched his head curiously, "That Lin family you mentioned … Is he very powerful?"
"…"
Guo Qiang was stunned. After a long time, he seemed to have understood something and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, compared to the Astronomy Society, even the seven major systems can't be considered powerful, right?
I should have understood earlier. With your skills, how can your background be ordinary? "
"What is your background?" He asked, "Can you let me know before I die?"
"Dongcheng District No.2 Middle School in Donghai City, Donghai City, Grade 12 Art Class, cello specialty. Do you want to learn?" Huai Shi looked at him calmly, "I'll teach you. Yes, if you have time later."
"…"
Guo Qiang fell silent. He was speechless.
A cello specialty? A seventeen year old high school student who almost wiped out an entire border hunting group? Was this some kind of lame joke that was popular in the present world?
"Are you done stalling for time?"
Huai Shi looked at his face and asked calmly, "Can we begin?"
Guo Qiang's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Lin Yu was used by someone. Someone told her your identity …"
"Oh, and then?"
Huai Shi suddenly asked, "Is your next condition that I wait here with you for half an hour, and then you tell me that the surname of the person who used her is Yin?"
"You …"
Guo Qiang's pupils contracted.
"Wow, is that true? You're not lying to me, right? "
Huai Shi also raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
She scrutinized his appearance, trying to discern if he was lying.
But soon, he shook his head indifferently. "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you want to negotiate or if you're just trying to find a scapegoat to trick me.
Anyway, everyone will have to settle the score in the end. I don't feel itchy when there are so many lice … But, how much money did the Lin Family give you to work so hard? "
"I just want to retire."
Guo Qiang shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Now it seems that it's most likely going to be reimbursed. After working so hard for so many years, you can't even rest when you want to. What a joke. "
"Why sleep so long when you are still alive?"
Huai Shi's eyes drooped, concealing the demonic light that was burning in his eyes.
After death — —
He would naturally fall into eternal slumber!
In that instant, the Mountain Ghost's cold light burst forth from the crack in his chest, and Origin Substance exploded.
The ground beneath Guo Qiang's feet suddenly cracked open. The chains that had been hidden in the ground shot out like snakes, coiling around his ankles and forcefully growing, binding him within an instant.
The dark Origin Substance condensed into a tangible form of grief and rushed into his consciousness, transforming into a flood that drowned out all thoughts of resistance. At the same time, the shrinking chains forcefully suppressed Guo Qiang's Sage Insignia, even if only for an instant.
Huai Shi stepped forward, Emperor Yu's Steps!
The evil spirit pounced forward.
"Wood Grace!!!"
Guo Qiang only remembered to roar with all his might. He swung his arm through the chains, and at the last moment, he threw the bomb in his hand towards his teammates.
From the very beginning, he had never planned on following the contract.
It was as if Huai Shi had never trusted him.
The contract said that he had to throw the bomb away, but it didn't say that others couldn't pick it up. It was just as if Huai Shi had said that he would let Lin Yu go, but he hadn't said that she could leave in one piece.
After working together for so many years, Guo Qiang's teammates were already aware of his plans and intentions. During their brief conversation, they quietly prepared themselves, completely focused on waiting for the signal.
Even if they all died here, it didn't matter. This was just a game.
From the very beginning, their goal wasn't to win the championship — — as long as they could stall Huai Shi here and kill him, even if they had to die together, they would still be able to turn the tables.
Just as Wood Grace was about to throw himself at the bomb and activate it, the other tall and sturdy Sublimator's body was already covered in blazing flames. He opened his arms and pounced towards Huai Shi, bringing with him a terrifying temperature.
He passionately embraced him.
As long as they could stop him for an instant, as long as they could slow him down even a little bit, their goal would be achieved. As such, the flames grew hotter and hotter, not hesitating to burn his own body. The Sublimator swelled in size once again, roaring as it transformed into a wall of flames that pressed down on Guo Qiang.
Immediately afterwards, he finally saw Huai Shi raise his head.
And his eyes.
They were as calm as an abyss, quietly reflecting the raging flames in front of him. However, the flames were unable to illuminate the darkness, as if they had been completely swallowed up.
All that was left was nothingness.
Within the nothingness, the sound of tearing thunder could be heard.
The ground beneath Huai Shi's feet suddenly shook, and countless dust particles flew into the air as he moved forward. They were wrapped in a hurricane, gathered together, and spun around with a twist of his wrist. His five fingers closed and burst forth with a thunderous roar, and they fled in all directions in panic.
In that fleeting moment, the Origin Substance in Huai Shi's palm seemed to emit a blinding light.
The heavens and earth acted as a drum, and thunder rumbled.
Pure destruction was condensed in the vibration. With a punch, the wall of fire was torn apart as easily as dry weeds and rotten wood.
The figure in front of Huai Shi flew backwards, disintegrating in the air. Blood and Qi evaporated in his own embers, and the black ashes were torn apart by the hurricane, revealing the figure that leaped forward, and the heavy axe that was thrown forward as it spun.
A sharp scream rang out.
Mu En's fingers finally touched the bomb falling from the sky. In his ecstasy, he heard the sound of a skull breaking.
He fell backwards.
Guo Qiang roared with all his might, his arms struggling. Fang Liang's Divine Mark frantically extracted the Origin Substance on Huai Shi's chains, causing cracks to appear on the chains. As Guo Qiang struggled with all his might, a gap appeared, allowing him to raise his hand …
At that moment, Huai Shi had already passed by him. He staggered to a stop behind him, and a faint scarlet color appeared on the unsheathed Virtue Sword in his hand.
Demon Beheading.
Guo Qiang froze in place. Soon, he forced a smile. As the red mark on his neck spread, he silently left.
Judge Jin landed on the ground.
Victory and defeat had been decided.
"That was close …"
Huai Shi looked around at the mess around him, as well as the relics and props from the border scattered all over the ground. He tiredly found a flat rock and sat on it, panting violently.
Only now did sweat drip from his face.
After killing the last opponent, he felt exhaustion surge like a tsunami, gradually drowning him. It made him want to fall on his back and fall into a deep sleep.
But there were still things to do, so he couldn't rest yet.
So he propped himself up again, standing on the street and looking into the distance. He scratched his head in distress — where did Lin Yu go?
I accidentally talked too much nonsense, causing her to run a little too far …
This is a little unreasonable.
Shouldn't you be running 39 meters first, and then I'll be slashing from behind with a 40-meter-long broadsword?
Why are you running so fast? Why don't you let me kill you?
Huai Shi sighed regretfully, raised the Virtue Sword, and slashed at the void in front of him.
Immediately, the white horse galloped out of thin air, still looking handsome.
But after seeing Huai Shi, it indifferently took a step back and looked at him with vigilance — what did you call me for?
"Good brother, can you give me a hand?"
Huai Shi went up and rubbed his hands, wanting to negotiate: "It's quite urgent, I won't lie to you. How about I invite you to my house to eat grass? It's all natural and pollution-free, enough for you! "
The white horse shook its head, expressing its refusal.
"Wow, didn't you say that the upright person should ride the white horse?" Huai Shi was a little dumbfounded. He took out the Virtue Sword and reasoned: "Brother, your condition is a bit high. Isn't it upright to avenge your teammate?"
But the white horse was still unmoved.
It just looked at him with a pair of eyes full of disdain, obviously not believing a single word.
Keep bragging, keep bragging.
I'll be a fool if I believe a single word of yours.
Under that pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything, Huai Shi gradually felt helpless. After a long time, he sighed dejectedly.
"Okay, I admit, it's not for revenge, at most, it's just for revenge."
He raised his hands and admitted his mistake: "It's all my fault for being too arrogant and being so hypocritical. I only regretted it after my teammate died to save me. I don't even have the chance to exchange sincerity for sincerity … So, big brother, please help me. I'm afraid there won't be such a chance next time."
The white horse was silent and looked at him quietly.
After a long time, its harsh eyes gradually softened.
It lowered its head and poked Huai Shi's chest, then raised its head and patted his head as if to comfort him.
When Huai Shi looked up, he heard it neighing and shaking its head forward. Its fluttering mane seemed to be beckoning.
— Okay, little brother, let's go.
Huai Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
So, the upright person should ride the white horse, is that what it means?
It's not kindness, nor justice, but integrity.
At least, don't lie to yourself …
"Face your own heart with integrity, right?"
Huai Shi reached out, took the reins, and jumped onto the horse.
The white horse snorted and lowered its head obediently. It no longer had its usual arrogance and irritation. It obeyed his control and moved forward lightly.
A sharp cry came from the sky.
A Crow circling in the sky flew over and landed on Huai Shi's shoulder. It jumped twice and cried loudly.
"You want to come too?"
Huai Shi raised his eyebrows and looked back. He saw countless pairs of blood-red eyes open on the countless withered branches and charred trees. They flapped their wings and shouted impatiently.
"Very good."
Huai Shi nodded and whispered: "Let's go!"
He laughed loudly, pulled the reins, and galloped away from the white horse.
Behind him, countless pitch-black birds responded to the white horse's neighing and cried sharply. They opened their wings and flew up. Thousands of birds gathered in one place, surging like a tide, forming a pitch-black cloud in the sky.
The ominous black cloud followed the white horse and swept across the sky of Yamatai City.
It wasn't for the holy revenge, nor was it for the public's desire to punish the unjust.
It was for the righteous revenge.
The road of a tooth for a tooth had begun!
