Chapter 1994: Chapter 1994

Qiuyue’s voice was somewhat hoarse, but the phrase "the mayor’s orders" successfully persuaded these Level 8 New Humans. As the words fell, they looked at each other and all stopped, just watching Tang Ye’s figure grow further away from them.

The soldiers who had survived by luck also gave up struggling, gathering on the crumbling ground, each figure looking disheveled.

Ye Changgong sighed. In an instant, he seemed to have aged more than a decade, hunching his shoulders, shaking his head, somewhat lost in spirit, and said to the others, "Let’s go."

The others remained silent too, following Ye Changgong, leaving here and brushing past Chu Zha and the others.

On the other side, Tang Ye, no longer obstructed, moved unimpeded, quickly crossing ruins and seeing the road sloping downward and the tunnel at its end, with all the surrounding soldiers withdrawn, leaving only one person.

He stopped, turned back to look at Chu Zha and the others who had followed, and said, "Go back."

"We..." Chu Zha and the others were somewhat hesitant. Just now when Tang Ye acted, they didn’t even have a chance to intervene, and now, seeing the serious expression on Tang Ye’s face, they immediately understood.

What comes next is not something they should be involved in.

Without asking why, they nodded to Tang Ye, and Chu Zha said, "Alright, boss, be careful."

Tang Ye didn’t respond verbally, but continued walking forward. The road ahead was fully visible, and the soldiers originally guarding it were all redeployed, the combat planes hovering in the sky watching Tang Ye’s every move also left one after another.

As the tunnel at the end slowly drew closer in his eyes, the figure of Su Sigui, holding a knife, stood blocking his path.

"Are you sure you want to stop me?"

"This is not something I can choose. If you want to pass, step over my corpse first."

"I don’t want to be your enemy."

"Heh heh..." Tang Ye seemed to be amused; he glanced at the sinister long knife in Su Sigui’s hand and asked, "Are you using them against me?"

Su Sigui’s slender fingers caressed the blade; she didn’t answer directly, only asking, "Have you tampered with it?"

Tang Ye shook his head, his face changing from a smile to self-deprecation in the next second: "I never wanted to stand on the opposite side against you, but today... Move aside; it’s better for both of us."

The other side also shook her head. "I understand, but I’m here for this reason."

"Do you want to explain? How do you explain?"

"I don’t need to explain."

"So you’ve placed the outcome decision in others’ hands, which isn’t something you’d usually do."

"This is all I can do."

Throughout, Su Sigui’s tone was very calm, constantly explaining to Tang Ye that she had long been prepared for this day.

Tang Ye fell silent, and his patience with Su Sigui slowly wore thin with each passing second! His tone also grew impatient.

"Get out of the way."

"If you want to pass, defeat me."

"Why... Why do you have to do this?"

Looking at Su Sigui before him, Tang Ye was confused. Yes, why, clearly, she could avoid all of this, why? Was it because of the special sense of responsibility of a transmigrator?

And this question, Su Sigui chose not to answer. She just silently drew the longsword, similarly made of flesh and blood, from her waist, holding the sword in one hand and the knife in the other, entering a battle stance, her whole person becoming as sharp as a blade at this moment!

Her attitude was so firm that Tang Ye understood that if he wanted to pass, a battle with Su Sigui was unavoidable! But does he really have to kill her?

He hesitated, but there was no time to hesitate!

Ten minutes, neither long nor short, but it was enough for him not to be able to grasp it; he couldn’t wait!

"This is your own choice." Killing intent burst forth from Tang Ye’s eyes as he strode towards Su Sigui, his steps quickening, finally turning his figure into a ghostly shadow that crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, a long knife of brown-red, as if flesh and blood were wriggling, appearing at some unknown moment in his hand!

The blade pointed directly at Su Sigui, slicing through the air, the drawn cold light almost splitting this space apart! Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

In wielding this strike, he exerted all his strength! As the blade passed, it stirred the winds and clouds, as if this world would be cleaved into two halves under this strike!

The oncoming wind blew her hair, yet her expression remained unchanged, as always, seemingly containing a brilliant starry river.

The air moved by the blade also turned into lethal blades, passing lightly by.

The clash of blade and sword produced only an insignificant soft sound, like a steel needle dropping to the ground, while in the back, the earth became unrecognizable!

A figure flew backward through the rising thick smoke until the blade was embedded in the ground, stopping them.

She stood up steadily, the recent exchange making her tiger’s mouth numb, yet the distant Tang Ye wasn’t happy about sending the opponent flying.

The opponent’s speed surpassed his own, making Tang Ye feel exceedingly troublesome.

With the distance opened, Su Sigui’s expression was unreadable. After stabilizing her figure, she approached Tang Ye like a ghost in the next second. In the instant she approached, the knife and sword in her hands moved at extreme speed, drawing terrifying cold lights!

Slicing swiftly around Tang Ye’s body, Tang Ye stood in place, raising the knife to defend, every cold light striking as heavily as a pounding hammer, "clang clang," on the blade!

Apart from the sound of blade against blade, there was no other noise; soon after, Tang Ye wielded the knife single-handed, slashing heavily forward, pulling a mass of white vapor to flatten everything ahead!

But this blow missed its target; he didn’t see Su Sigui’s figure, but in the next second, he noticed the wind and clouds surging behind him, with all the air seemingly turning hostile against him!

He spun abruptly, raising his knife-wielding hand to slice again, the blade fiercely rubbing against the air, producing searing white vapor once more, engulfing everything before him!

In his eyes, the blade almost brushed past Su Sigui’s waist; her speed was too fast, phantasmally circling behind him, the brown-red blood-flesh blade merely severing a few strands of her hair, Tang Ye’s heart sank, and at that moment, the hand wielding the sword gently loosened forward, thrusting the sword!

All this happened without sound, the sword piercing everything, even the air was torn by the blade, the thrust as silent as the breeze brushing over the weeds on stone steps.
