#364 - Chapter 363: Confrontation in front of the ruins
This was a result no one wanted to see, and the most superficial goal of the Takahashi Conglomerate – restriction!
And the deeper goal was the contingency plan that Ying Jian spoke of.
Once they chose to start a war, causing a large number of casualties, it would mean they had violated federal law. In this case, even if the Takahashi Conglomerate killed everyone, including Yang Luhe,
it would all be reasonable at the legal level. Even if the Northern Federation was unwilling, they could only retaliate in private, instead of openly exerting pressure and holding the Takahashi Conglomerate accountable.
Sitting by the fire, Wenren Qing raised her head and took a sip of cola, calmly saying, "The Takahashi Conglomerate's confidence probably has something to do with that black-robed man who has never shown his face. His strength is probably…"
"Thirteen Prohibitions." Yang Luhe sat up straight, his bright eyes slightly narrowed: "To dare to do this, it can only be Thirteen Prohibitions."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on everyone's faces became serious.
"If it's Thirteen Prohibitions, we can only be spectators!" Bai Xing frowned, looking in the direction of the key: "What is it that the Takahashi Conglomerate values so much!"
Ying Jian interlaced his fingers: "I guess it's something very important."
Bai Xing glanced at Ying Jian speechlessly: "You guessed so accurately."
Ying Jian nodded in thanks: "Thank you for the compliment, I hope…"
Rumble!!!
A dull roar suddenly sounded at this moment, and along with the roar, the ground beneath everyone's feet shook slightly.
Grisly cracks like spider webs appeared on the earth, and chunks of gravel slid down from the top of the rock wall. Some soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were directly smashed into mincemeat on the spot.
For a time, everyone was in danger.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"Captain, watch out for the top of your head, dodge quickly!"
Bang!
"Ah!!!"
……
"What's going on?"
"Could something have happened in the different space?"
"It's possible!"
Takahashi芽生 quickly stood up, her sharp eyes staring intently at the direction of the key.
"Everyone, be on guard!"
Takahashi 海生 raised his arm, his deep voice echoing across the field.
After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly half-squatted on the ground to stabilize their swaying bodies, and turned their heads in unison to look in the direction of the key, while aiming their guns at the entrance of the different space.
The tense atmosphere exploded on the field like a depth charge, filling everyone's heads.
Yang Luhe raised his arm, and the few people sitting around the fire stood up and retreated behind him.
Standing in the distance, Takahashi 佑正 shouted loudly: "I say, you guys have been watching the show for so long, it's time to leave!"
Yang Luhe grabbed the wooden bow and arrow placed aside, and slowly stood up: "We've been watching the show for so long, you shouldn't mind if we watch a little longer, right!"
"You…"
"Of course you can."
Before Takahashi 佑正 could finish his sentence, a cold voice interrupted him.
The moment the voice fell, the temperature on the field suddenly dropped for some reason!
A chilling coldness spread to everyone's chest, and a strange sense of fear burned like a flame, growing stronger and stronger!
Tap!
A crisp footstep sounded.
Everyone turned to look at the same position.
In the shadows of the military camp ruins, a person wearing a wide black robe, covering all the facial features in the shadows, making it impossible to distinguish whether they were male or female, walked into everyone's view step by step.
Yang Luhe clenched his bow and arrow, subconsciously took a step back, and a hint of fear could be faintly seen on his tough face.
Seeing this, Takahashi 芽生 and the others hurriedly greeted him and stood beside the black-robed man.
"Master, the people from An Tong Si, the one holding the bow is suspected to be one of the Twelve Prohibitions." Takahashi 芽生 gestured with his hand.
"Yes, I know."
The black-robed man simply responded, and then stopped talking, standing there like a log.
Seeing this, Takahashi 芽生 and the others stood respectfully in place, without saying a word, just like the eunuchs in the feudal dynasty.
In the distance, Wenren Qing whispered, "Captain Yang, can you see through this person's strength?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the others fell on Yang Luhe, looking at him expectantly.
Yang Luhe said with a solemn expression: "I can't see through it, but I can be sure that he is stronger than me!"
Crack—
The last fantasy in everyone's hearts was completely shattered.
Stronger than the Twelve Prohibitions, isn't that the Thirteen Prohibitions?
Wenren Qing nodded: "It seems we can only be spectators."
……
Time passed by, and the rumbling sound did not stop, and the shaking continued.
At a certain moment, a sudden change occurred!
Bang!
The bronze-colored key suspended in the air suddenly exploded, turning into bright yellow light spots that scattered with the wind, and the entrance to the different space closed.
"This!"
Takahashi 芽生's pupils trembled slightly, and just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by the black-robed man's hand.
"Master, this…"
"Don't worry, it's not over yet."
"Understood."
Takahashi 芽生 nodded and retreated back.
As the black-robed man said, before long, the space in front of everyone began to boil like boiling water, and a thin black line appeared out of thin air, gradually expanding.
Visible aftershocks spread out, freezing all the snowflakes within dozens of miles. Ordinary soldiers only felt as if the surrounding oxygen had been抽干, making breathing particularly difficult.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Takahashi 海生 shouted at the top of his lungs.
Swish swish—
Disordered and dense footsteps sounded, and the soldiers retreated one after another, distancing themselves from the cracks.
Crack crack—
The cracks grew larger and larger, until everyone had to look up to see them before they stopped expanding.
Pat, pat, pat…
Heavy and slow footsteps came from within, getting closer and closer.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the huge space crack, and the world suddenly fell silent.
Tap!
A white casual shoe stepped out from within, followed by the leg, palm, tip of the nose, jaw, until the whole person.
For a time, everyone's eyes focused on Li Chenqiu, and the scorching gaze almost pierced him.
"This…" Takahashi 芽生's eyebrows were twisted together, and her turbid eyes were filled with surprise.
What's the situation?
Shouldn't the one who came out be Nakamura 谷一, or someone from our side?
"Crap, it's someone from the Northern Federation!"
Realizing something was wrong, several people looked at Yang Luhe and the others.
But it would have been better if they hadn't looked. The more they looked, the more confused they became, with uniform expressions of doubt, as if they were about to write "Who is this person" on their faces.
Li Chenqiu, who had just come out of the crack, looked at the dark mass of people in front of him, and it felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping through his heart, his expression as ugly as it could be.
The underworld didn't come, but all the enemies did.
Takahashi 海生 stepped forward and said, "Who are you, where are the others?"
Li Chenqiu didn't answer, after all, he couldn't understand Southern Federation language.
Crack crack—
A sound similar to glass breaking sounded, and the space crack began to shrink inward.
Li Chenqiu's ears twitched slightly, and he yanked hard with his left hand holding a vine. An extremely harsh dragging sound rang out from the crack, and a pungent bloody smell wafted over.
