Chapter 644: Chapter 77: Absurdity_3
"You want one person to resist everyone alone?"
Chen Lusi: "..."
He was very calm.
But clearly, the core members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion couldn’t do it.
Because this was the first time they heard of it.
Only three Celestial Strategies in the Imperial Capital?
No way???
"I admit, we underestimated you. You are indeed strong."
The elder continued, "I didn’t even see clearly how you did it just now, but judging from the changes in the surroundings and my perception of time... It must be some sort of technique related to time, right?
I have to admit, this is really impressive, but... your move must have some limitations and costs, right?"
The elder shook his head, seemingly with some lamentation, "I am very old, so I’ve seen quite a lot. About sixty years ago, there was an empowerer named Jiang Ke, whose Authority Ability was equally powerful, called ’Choke’... Perhaps most people have already forgotten about such a person.
His Authority Ability was also related to time, extremely powerful, as strong as yours. Even thinking about it now, I still feel it’s powerful.
But he died at the age of thirty-two. No one remembers his name; everyone has forgotten his deeds. He was a young man even more astonishing than Xia Yue.
Why? Because his Authority Ability was too strong, the cost too great, and he was at an age of vigorous qi and blood. In one mission, he tried to show off, slightly expanded the range of his Authority Ability but failed to stop it, his soul was completely drained, and he directly died.
I was an eyewitness.
And from that time, I understood two principles — First, the stronger the technique and Authority Ability, especially those related to time and space, the greater the cost. Such people will die unexpectedly sooner or later, no need to interfere.
Second, no matter how strong the Authority Ability or how high the talent, one must learn to... act according to one’s means, assess the situation."
"That young man with the Authority Ability ’Choke’ failed to understand this principle and died."
"Xia Yue also failed to understand this principle and died as well."
"And I am still alive."
"Now I want to teach you this principle."
The elder gently wiped the bloodstains off his face, slowly raised his eyelids, and looked again at Chen Lusi: "Chen Lusi Celestial Strategy."
In an instant.
The already scorching sunlight seemed even hotter.
The surrounding Security Army and core members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion began to sweat profusely and gently gasped.
But they couldn’t care less about the changes in the sun.
Because they heard the elder’s words too.
Limitations?
Doesn’t that mean...
No way???
"Let me be honest with you."
The elder put down his hand, completely ignoring the ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion around him, curled his lips, gently rubbing the bloodstains on his finger pads, said, "The Celestial Strategy Mansion cannot have a second Xia Yue, no matter what, you can’t, you don’t deserve it. Whether you agree or not, we will go in to attend the hearing.
Xia Yue failed to act according to his means, assess the situation, that’s why he died, I hope you don’t repeat his mistake.
After all, you are a young person with a bright future, you can’t resist this alone.
This is my advice to you from someone who has been through it.
Being a hero isn’t so easy."
"Of course, if you really want to be a hero, then—"
The elder stepped forward, directly crossing over Wu Mao’s corpse on the ground, raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and slowly clenched them into a fist: "... Such a nice sunny day, just perfect for a burial."
As soon as he finished.
As his right hand gradually clenched into a fist, the core members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion and members of the Security Army under the sunlight instantly felt as if the sunlight shining on them... was like scorching magma, unbearably hot, and simultaneously seemed to have the weight of ten thousand pounds, suddenly pressing down.
Crack.
A sound similar to beans popping on many people’s bodies rang out.
This was the dull sound produced by bones being squeezed.
Most of the members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s skin turned red instantly, directly fell to their knees on the ground, and began to breathe heavily.
Chen Lusi faced the sunlight, his body also made a sound similar to beans popping, his straightened waist seemed to bend slightly.
And at the same time.
One wave barely settled, yet another arose!
"The earthly branch of the fleeting years belongs to Wu—Tai Sui is in the due south."
With the sound, an elder with a cane, white-haired and the head of the cane hanging a red protective talisman suddenly appeared, lightly tapped the cane.
It was precisely... Qi Peng whom Hecate had once visited.
And with his words.
Precisely located in the southern direction was Chen Lusi, and from the concrete ground on both sides of his body, suddenly things like flesh started to squirm.
"...Hero."
The elder glanced at Qi Peng, then looked back at Chen Lusi, sneered, curled his right hand fingers, and pressed down one more time.
Crack—
The popping sound on Chen Lusi’s body became even more pronounced.
[Folklore System, Level 1 Authority — Tai Sui]
[National Sacrificial System, Level 1 Authority — Sun God]
At the same time.
Seeing Chen Lusi being suppressed.
Another five elders also began to move forward, crossing over the corpses, synchronously heading towards the court.
Just as they declared, they must attend the hearing.
Whether Chen Lusi agrees or not.
The ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion almost all suppressed to kneel to the ground saw this scene, gasping for breath, looking at the suddenly appearing Qi Peng, with expressions of despair.
To think there are still...
That means it’s still one against seven.
And the technique Chen Lusi just used has limitations.
How can this possibly win...
"Have you finished speaking?"
At this moment.
At the entrance of the court, on the steps.
Chen Lusi finally spoke, his calm voice carrying a sharpness and coldness akin to blades.
