Chapter 243 Long time no see, old friend

Facing the man's calm eyes, even though he did nothing and even his expression did not change, Yuan Zhisheng still felt the terrifying pressure like a tide.

Since Old Tang disappeared and became Norton, he has never fought in front of anyone other than Yuan Zhinv from the Snake Eight Clan, but everyone who has ever come into contact with Old Tang knows...

Not the same.

When he was still Lao Tang, Yuan Zhisheng would play games and stroll around Akihabara with him in his spare time.

Although the reason was that they knew he was the King of Bronze and Fire who had not yet awakened, and they were afraid that he would be neglected in Japan and might become depressed and awaken, the two of them were indeed not strangers.

It can even be said that Lao Tang's only friend in Japan is probably Yuan Zhisheng. Although the relationship between the two friends may not be very close, they have stayed up all night playing games together and even shared cheap cigarettes and alcohol.

But when Don became Norton, they hardly ever spoke again.

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the familiar face in his memory. Obviously, nothing had changed, but it seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.

He lowered his head slightly, no longer looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, and said what he had prepared long ago: "The girl is with those people from Kassel College."

"She should still be at the Tamamonomae Club now. Do you want to go look for her?"

The main person Yuan Zhinv wanted to avoid in this secret operation was Norton, but how sharp was Norton? It was hard to hide from him, so Yuan Zhinv could only speed up and shorten the time, because the longer the time was delayed, the easier it would be to be discovered.

According to her plan, she left late at night and, as expected, returned with the embryo the next day, in less than a full day.

Norton usually doesn't care much about their affairs. Even if he asks on a whim, giving a detailed location would probably be enough to dispel their suspicion. After all, it is impossible for him to go to find Yuan Zhinv in person. He can only let Yuan Zhinv come to see him.

As long as he said that Genjitsu was busy and would come later, and added some time, Genjitsu would have returned from the bottom of the sea, which was truly a complete cover-up.

But unfortunately, plans always seem to be unable to keep up with changes. Norton, who has never cared about the whereabouts of Yuan Zhinv, suddenly began to ask, as if he sensed something unusual and discovered it so early.

At this time, Uesugi Yue and Sakurai Kogure had not even had time to come back, and Genjiro might not have even dived to the bottom of the sea yet. This man was too sharp, so sharp that it caught people off guard.

To the extent that the arguments that he originally thought should be fine seemed unreliable, Yuan Zhisheng tried his best to appear calm and as if nothing was wrong, but cold sweat still seeped out of his palms.

"I'll ask you again." Norton said calmly, his tone flat: "Where did Yuan Zhinv go?"

"You'd better think before you answer."

It was obviously a very calm sentence, but it brought a chilling feeling of oppression, as if the man had seen through all the tricks, and if Yuan Zhisheng told another lie, he would take Yuan Zhisheng's life.

Yuan Zhisheng could feel Norton's scrutiny, and could also feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the man, and that pressure was really getting heavier. This noble monarch...

Seems to be beginning to be dissatisfied.

But Yuan Zhisheng still just said: "She is at the Tamamonomae Club. Do you need me to let her come to see you?"

His nails dug into his flesh, Yuan Zhisheng raised his eyes and looked at Norton without fear.

No half-breed could face the pressure from the Dragon King. Almost the moment he raised his head, his eyes became bloodshot and severe pain spread from his brain to his whole body, as if a bomb had exploded in his head. The pain was so severe that he could not help but spasm.

But even so, he was unwilling to bow his head and take a step back.

Norton looked at the stubborn man in front of him, at the face that was very similar to Yuan Zhinv, and suddenly felt that they were indeed siblings, surprisingly similar in some aspects.

Although the brother is always indecisive and seems to be completely inferior to his sister's decisiveness, at least they are equally stubborn, the kind of stubbornness that will persist until death.

But if you are always so stubborn, sooner or later you will pay the price for this stubbornness.

Just when Yuan Zhisheng felt that he was about to collapse, Norton suddenly retracted his gaze. He still looked unchanged, his expression was still indifferent, and even the emotion in his eyes did not fluctuate at all.

That feeling of indifference was like watching an ant performing hard, and he now lost interest in this weak creature.

He didn't even bother to say another word, he just turned around and left. His movements were so decisive, as if... he already knew where Gen Chinu was going, and he was going to settle the score with her now.

The pain that seemed to be about to explode finally disappeared. Yuan Zhisheng didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He subconsciously chased after him, shouting, "Where are you going?"

Norton didn't even turn his head. He always ignored the cries of ants. Such weak and lowly creatures were not worthy of his response.

But his steps suddenly stopped. The man frowned, and for the first time, emotion appeared on his face. He turned around and saw Yuan Zhisheng's eyes flashing with bright gold. A gentle and invisible field expanded and enveloped him.

Word Spirit·Royal Power.

"You want to stop me?" The man looked a little surprised, as if he had seen something ridiculous. He seemed to be completely unaffected by the words, and his movements were not awkward at all. His voice was full of mockery: "Just you?"

Yuan Zhisheng didn't say anything. He was trying his best to activate the spiritual field. If Spider Cut and Boy Cut had not been removed during work and he didn't have it with him, he would have chopped at the person in front of him without hesitation.

He was not unaware of the gap between the two sides, and he was also aware that his obstruction was probably no different from seeking death. Perhaps in Norton's eyes, his actions were like an overconfident mouse trying to deal with an elephant.

No, he was not even a mouse. In Norton's eyes, he was an ant. Ants trying to challenge God were certainly unworthy and a joke.

But in fact, he has always been like a joke, hasn't he? He is obviously the closest person to the girl, but he has always been helping the evil. Not only has he never helped, but he has also always been a hindrance and even stabbed her the hardest with his own hands.

Yuan Zhisheng knew that the best thing to do now was to pretend that he knew nothing and let Norton go find Yuan Zhinv, who was more suitable to handle this situation than him.

But he just couldn't bear to watch him go to find Yuan Zhinv, because he also knew what Yuan Zhinv was going to do. There was already a Dragon King in the sea, maybe more than one. Norton going there at this time would undoubtedly make things worse.

He really couldn't stop it for long, but what if Yuan Zhinv just lacked this little bit of time?

He was indeed useless, and was probably as fragile as paper in front of Norton, but was that a reason to back down? Then what about the oath he had secretly made in his heart? What about the justice he upheld?
From childhood to adulthood, Yuan Zhisheng firmly believed that he was a friend of justice, even though he later suffered a lot for it and was almost deserted by his friends and relatives, but fortunately, he still had time to make amends.

Today, he is still a friend of justice, but the justice he has now is not the justice imposed on him by others. His justice is the people he cares about, and he is willing to die for his justice.

The consumption brought by the royal power is enormous. Yuan Zhisheng tried his best to activate this high-risk word spirit. He did not dare to relax at all because he knew how ultimate his enemy was.

Scarlet blood flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, but he didn't care. Bloodshot covered his eyes, and his golden pupils were stained with a bloody red.

Norton looked at the ant who was challenging him without knowing his own limitations, and the irony in his eyes became more and more obvious. The so-called mayfly trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot was probably just like this.

He could do nothing and just watch this ridiculous human being destroy himself, and he was indeed prepared to do so.

After all, death is the best outcome for all mortals who dare to offend the power of God.

"Not a bad bloodline." At the moment when the domain collapsed, the man who looked down on everyone like a god spoke lightly, his tone casual and nonchalant: "But compared to her, you are far inferior."

There was a buzzing in Yuan Zhisheng's ears and he fell to the ground exhausted. But Norton didn't even bother to look at him and was about to leave.

But at this moment, a trembling hand grabbed the corner of his white robe. Yuan Zhisheng's handsome face was covered with blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

But he was still trying hard to stop God from leaving.

Norton's eyes turned cold instantly. He has never been a good-tempered person. For the sake of his partners, he has let this presumptuous guy go twice.

But it happened once, twice, and not a third time. Even Yuan Zhinu's face was not enough for him to tolerate it for the third time.

He did not look back, but raised his palm slightly. As he moved, a terrifying temperature began to condense. Just as he was about to burn Yuan Zhisheng into a pile of ashes, he saw the boy at the end of the corridor.

The thin and pale boy stood at the door of the room. His legs were not good, so he held the door frame with his hands. He looked at Norton, and his extremely dark eyes showed a pleading look. Norton's movements paused for a moment. They had been dependent on each other for so many years. They were the people who understood each other best and were the closest to each other in the world. But in Norton's memory, Constantine had never shown him such a look.

Almost subconsciously, he raised his arm and dropped it again, and the flame, which had not yet shown any temperature, dissipated in an instant.

"What's wrong? Kang Kang, why did you stand up?"

The girl's clear voice sounded behind Constantine. Constantine smiled gratefully at Norton and turned back to stop the girl who was trying to look out.

"It's okay." The boy's voice was a little awkward because he didn't speak often: "I want to watch one more episode of anime."

"Okay, okay, I want to watch it too! But if you don't go to bed, won't your brother scold you?"

"No." Constantine said softly, "My brother is the best."

……

Yuan Zhisheng didn't remember when he fainted. He only remembered the last part of his memory, which was the sudden rise in temperature and Norton's undisguised murderous intent.

The King of Bronze and Fire, known as the "Tyrant", naturally had a bad temper. When Yuan Zhisheng tried to stop him, he was already prepared to die. At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, he was even relieved.

This time he finally stopped being a coward, this time he finally tried his best, this time... he finally did not do anything wrong, and he could finally die for his justice.

But what he never expected was that he could actually wake up.

Wang Quan said that it was a high-risk word spirit, and it did have considerable power against half-breeds with weaker bloodlines than himself, but it was more or less useless against those with higher bloodlines than himself.

Even if Yuan Zhisheng tried his best to push it, he could only make the Dragon King-level target feel a little bit of weight. That feeling was probably like a breeze on the face? In short, the dramatic effect was far greater than the practical effect.

His brief coma was just due to overdrawing his strength. From beginning to end, Norton just glanced at him a few times, but he was in a mess. The difference in strength between the two sides was more than just a world of difference, they were not in the same dimension at all.

Fortunately, his recovery ability is quite good and this kind of minor injury can heal quickly, so he woke up quickly.

Although he didn't know why Norton let him go in the end, and he didn't know when the tyrant became so good-tempered, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't feel at ease.

He struggled to get up from the ground, but before he could continue looking for Norton, his cell phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Yaksha.

Yaksha and Crow were both his retainers and were very familiar with each other. They knew that he was usually resting at this time and would never disturb him unless it was something serious. Yuan Zhisheng had a bad feeling in his heart and answered the phone hesitantly, and sure enough, it was true.

On the other end of the phone, Yasha said excitedly: "Boss, those people from Kassel College that you asked me to keep an eye on suddenly disappeared!"

Yuan Zhisheng’s eyes went dark.

……

7900 meters deep sea.

The warm red light reflected on the fair side of Yuan Zhinv's face, dyeing her delicate facial features with a faint red.

This sea is surprisingly full of vitality. The color of the water is like the sunset. Large schools of fish consisting of thousands of fish are floating in the glowing water. Some of these fish are as white as silver, some are almost transparent, and others emit a faint blue fluorescence.

The scene before our eyes has a vast, glorious momentum and dreamy beauty that exceeds the limits of imagination. It makes people mistakenly think that the sunset-colored sea water is the sky before sunset, schools of fish are swimming in the sky, and there are even gray-white clouds passing overhead.

The cloud suddenly turned around, and it stirred the sea water with its long tail, leaving a transparent vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters. Its huge body hit the sea water, making a thunderous sound.

It was a giant whale with a body length of over 100 meters. The gray-white clouds were the pattern on its belly. There shouldn't be such a big whale in the world.

But here, anything is possible.

Without thinking, Yuan Zhinv knew that she had arrived at the God's Burial Place. She was right above the Japan Trench. On her right was the gently sloping seabed, and on her left were rugged cliffs. They were the Asian Plate and the Pacific Plate, which collided here to form an extremely deep underwater canyon.

At the bottom of the canyon is a golden crack running from north to south, where the earth's crust breaks off, and the burned red rock layers roll out. Magma gushes out intermittently, and the sea water and magma present a wonderful sight of blending together, with faint thunder echoing below.

There is a wound in the earth. The crust is cracked here and the mantle layer is directly exposed. Because of this wound, Japan has become the country with the most earthquakes in the world. Perhaps one day it will sink into the sea like Atlantis.

But these are not what Yuan Zhinv would care about.

Any geology expert would probably burst into tears upon seeing such a wonder, but unfortunately the one who came here was Yuan Zhinv. She was too lazy to even look at the shocking scenery, and instead looked around for any trace of the embryo.

The fish unconsciously moved away from her, as if they had discovered a ferocious, uninvited guest had broken into their warm home and were retreating far away.

Gen Chinu continued to dive, the temperature around her was getting higher and higher, but neither the high temperature nor the pressure had any effect on her. She moved freely in the sea water, as if it was just an elegant wandering.

Finally, she saw a tower below her, a huge tower.

A huge dark tower stood on the circular slope beside the ground fissure. The tide of magma rose and fell not far away from it, and the tower was reflected in it, looking like an iron tire that was about to melt.

It seems to have stood there for millions of years, as majestic as a god and as lonely as a god, making people want to worship it when they see it.

That couldn't be something human.

Yuan Zhinv continued to move forward, and soon a majestic city appeared at the end of her sight, with the appearance of a kingdom of God!
The ancient city unfolds like a picture scroll. It is centered on a high tower and is adjacent to a long river of magma. It has remained immortal for tens of millions of years.

Half of the ancient city has slid into the lava river, and the other half is left with only collapsed ruins. Only the giant tower in the center has stood stubbornly for years, symbolizing the city's former glory.

Yuan Zhinv came to the huge tower that reached from the sky to the earth, looked at the chains wrapped around the dark tower, and remained silent for a long time.

The dragon clan is accustomed to recording wars on columnar objects, and the tower also serves the function of executions.

The dragons would nail the criminals to the tower and dry them in the air. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to dry a dragon, and during that time, the criminal dragon would be endlessly humiliated by all the members of the dragon clan.

In a trance, Yuan Zhinu seemed to see herself nailed to a bronze pillar, with her silver-white hair hanging down and scarlet blood flowing from her eyes.

And just as she approached the tower, the woman deep in her mind seemed to sense something and opened her eyes at the same time.

But she did not speak. She and Genjitsu remained silent, just staring quietly at the towering tower.

"I want to blow it up." Yuan Zhinv said softly, "It looks a bit annoying."

The woman in my mind seemed to laugh softly, her voice was distant and low: "Okay, if you want to blow it up, then blow it up."

"But not now. If the noise is too loud, it will be hard to stop."

Yuan Zhinu said "hmm" and turned away: "I'll go find the embryo first."

"No hurry." The woman said casually: "When guests come to visit, shouldn't we entertain them first?"

Yuan Zhinu was stunned. She suddenly realized something and turned around suddenly. She saw a delicate boy sitting on an iron chain on the top of the tower, with his two thin white legs swinging slowly.

Noticing her gaze, the boy suddenly smiled: "Long time no see."

"my old friend."
