Chapter 512 The Golden Rule! (Seeking monthly votes)

Yang Jian kept spacing out during the afternoon class.

The fragments of memory that kept surfacing in his mind made it difficult for him to distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

If those memories are false, then why are they so vivid?
If it's true, then what's the situation now?
It continued until almost the end of the afternoon when school was about to let out.

Yang Jian still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Some even suspect that the recent academic pressure might have caused him to have mental health issues.

"It shouldn't be!"

Yang Jian murmured to himself that he wasn't the kind of student who studied particularly hard.

As for pressure, it's true that we're in our final year of high school, so we can't say there's none, but it's definitely not to the point of causing mental problems.

"What do you mean 'shouldn't'? Yang Jian, what are you muttering about?"

Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the back row, leaned forward at some point, grabbed the desk, and got close to Yang Jian's head.

Hearing the voice, Yang Jian turned around and almost kissed her, but was speechless for a moment. He tilted his head back and said with a look of disgust, "If you have something to say, just say it. Can you not get so close?"

If they had accidentally kissed just now, his reputation in Class 3—no, in the whole school—would have been ruined.

Zhang Wei's smile vanished instantly, and he pointed at Yang Jian, feigning grief: "You, you heartless bastard! You called me 'darling' before, and now you call me 'old hag'!"

"fine!"

Seeing Zhang Wei start to act silly, Yang Jian simply turned his head away and ignored him.

"Wait! I'll tell you, Fatty and I made plans to go to the internet cafe tonight to play games together, are you coming?"

Zhang Wei quickly grabbed Yang Jian's arm and said.

"Are you two skipping class again?"

"What do you mean by skipping class? This is a strategic balance between work and rest, a targeted break to improve learning efficiency!"

Zhang Wei said it with absolute certainty.

If he hadn't known the background of these two idiots, Yang Jian would have almost believed them.

Just as he was about to refuse, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang, strode into the classroom.

"Unexpected notice! There will be no evening self-study session tonight. You all..."

"Wow~"

"That's great! Long live Teacher Wang!"

"."

Before the homeroom teacher could finish speaking, the students below cheered and celebrated happily.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Quiet!"

The homeroom teacher banged on the lectern, finally managing to quiet the students down.

"The city has issued a notice that some wanted criminals have recently fled to Dachang City. You all need to stay at home."

"Especially you, Zhang Wei, did you hear that?"

"Huh? Me?"

Zhang Wei, who was singled out, looked completely innocent: "Teacher Wang, how could you think of me like that?"

"Don't play dumb with me. If I find out again..."

Zhang Wei's witty remarks immediately filled the classroom with joyful laughter.

Yang Jian didn't laugh; instead, he frowned.

What kind of wanted criminal would warrant a direct notification from the city government to a school?

'This is practically an evacuation, isn't it?'

Yang Jian felt there was something very wrong with this. Could it be terrorists?
What kind of terrorists dare to run rampant in the Great Dragon Kingdom?

With this question in mind, Yang Jian left the school with the crowd after the school bell rang.

Zhang Wei and Sao Pang invited him to play games at an internet cafe again, but Yang Jian refused.

Walking home, I looked at the familiar surroundings on the street.

Yang Jian felt inexplicably dazed. So much had happened in the past few days that he had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Yang Jian's residential area is located behind a market.

Taking the main road would mean going around an extra street, so Yang Jian usually chooses to go through the middle of the market and take a small alley home.

Today was no different. After passing through the noisy market, just as Yang Jian was about to enter the alley.

Suddenly, a blinding golden light shone in the alley.

"Ok?"

Yang Jian stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky.

It was around 6 p.m., about half an hour before sunset, and the sky was still bright.

Even under these conditions, the golden light is so dazzling, so you can imagine how bright it must be.

Where did the golden light come from?

Yang Jian was a little confused. Just as he was hesitating whether to continue forward, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why didn't anyone in the market react to this dazzling golden light?

Yang Jian suddenly turned around and looked around. Everyone was doing their own thing.

Everything is normal, yet everything is also abnormal!

Such a dazzling golden light was right in front of everyone; anyone would curiously look at it a few times and mutter a few words.

However, the people nearby seemed to be collectively blind, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Golden light, golden light?"

Yang Jian suddenly woke up. The golden light seemed to resemble something he had seen in his memories.

"Could those memories be real?"

Yang Jian's heart suddenly raced, and a surge of impulse welled up within him.

Go check it out!
Go into the alley ahead and see what that golden light is!
Driven by instinct, Yang Jian disregarded the potential dangers and resolutely walked towards that familiar alley.

After turning into the alley, a golden sphere of light, several meters in diameter, suddenly came into Yang Jian's view.

"A golden sphere of light, what exactly is that?"

Yang Jian slowly stepped forward. The closer he got, the faster his heart beat, and the blood in his body seemed to boil.

It seems something is about to emerge.

On a whim, Yang Jian reached out and touched the ball of light in front of him.

The expected sensation did not occur; instead, my hand suddenly felt empty as my entire arm was enveloped in a golden sphere of light.

A powerful force seemed to come from his arm, and Yang Jian staggered as he was pulled into the golden sphere of light.

"Pfft~"

A ripple spread across the surface of the golden sphere, and Yang Jian's body vanished completely from the alley, as if he had never existed.

"What is this place?"

Yang Jian felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, and he found himself in a white space.

This is a space the size of a football field, empty inside, with barren gravel covering the ground.

It appears to be a piece of land torn off from some Gobi Desert.

"Blood Butcher Luo San, once you're inside my Two Realms Separation Array, you can forget about escaping!"

In the center of the white space, two golden figures are fighting.

Although they were quite far apart, Yang Jian could clearly see the golden patterns on the faces of the two people.

"This feeling is so familiar, where have I seen it before?"

Yang Jian's expression became dazed again, and many chaotic images flashed through his mind.

"Jie Jie"

"Why should I run? Do you think your Golden Rule can beat me?"

"Black-skinned lackey, prepare to die!"

A gloomy man with long, flowing hair lunged menacingly at another man dressed in a black uniform.

The golden runes on the gloomy man's face were activated, and a ball of dark red flame appeared out of thin air, flying straight toward the man in uniform.

The flames grew larger and larger as they flew, until they were the size of a millstone when they reached the man in uniform.

"Bone-corroding Blood Flame!"

This is the Golden Law practiced by Luo San, the Blood Butcher. It is a kind of evil flame that can instantly burn away a person's blood and bones. Countless innocent people have died under Luo San's butcher's blade in order to practice this Golden Law.

"You deserve to die!"

The uniformed man's expression was serious, a flash of anger in his eyes, and he activated his Golden Rule without hesitation.

"Execution!"

Several golden chains emerged from the void, weaving into a large net that swept towards Luo San's blood flames.

These chains contained a sealing power; the blood flames not only failed to pass through the grid, but were instead carried back by the golden net.

"Bone-Corroding Spear!"

Seeing the large net falling down, Luo San swung his arms wildly, and streaks of bloody gunfire flew out one after another.

Flames swirled around the gunshots!

This is no ordinary gunshot; it is a transformation of Luo San's Golden Rule, the Bone-Corroding Blood Flame.

The gunshots struck the uniformed man's chain net from different directions.

The net shifted, revealing an opening.

Luo San twisted his body and passed through the opening, approaching the uniformed man.

"Trying to catch me? You're still too green!"

Luo San sneered and punched the man in uniform.

Strands of crimson flames swirled before the fist, transforming into scorching blade energy.

If this punch lands, a large hole will be blown open in the chest of the man in uniform in an instant.

"Execution!"

Faced with Luo San's deadly move, the man in uniform simply gave a light shout.

The large net woven from chains instantly unfurled, and the five chains transformed into five whips, lashing fiercely at Luo San's back.

A sharp, cold glint flashed at the end of the chain, revealing a hidden blade.

Feeling the whooshing sound behind him, Luo San's expression changed.

Based on his years of experience, he judged that these chains were enough to tear his body apart, and Luo San had no intention of dying together with the man in uniform.

He suddenly exerted force from his waist and pulled his fists back into his body.

Luo San twisted and shifted his body, passing the uniformed man and avoiding the attack from behind.

"What a brilliant execution!"

"These chains can not only form a net to blockade, but also disperse attacks. I'll remember you!"

After rushing forward for more than ten meters, Luo San stopped, turned around and looked at the uniformed man, and sneered coldly.

The man in uniform remained unmoved, using his mind to manipulate the chains behind him and launch another attack on Luo San.

The two quickly resumed their fight.

At the edge of the white space, Yang Jian leaned against the golden light wall, his eyes fixed on the battle before him.

"The Golden Rule?"

"Isn't this the age of the supernatural? Aren't there ghosts?"

"Something feels off about this art style!"

The more Yang Jian looked at it, the more awkward he felt. The extraordinary world he remembered was not like this.

Just as Yang Jian was frowning in distress, a sudden change occurred in the battle between the subdued man and Blood Butcher Luo San.

The two are evenly matched, and under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.

However, Luo San was well aware of his status as a wanted criminal.

If they continue to subdue and harass the man, he will be in real danger once reinforcements arrive.

Taking advantage of the man's carelessness, Luo San endured a blow from the chain and then flew away into the distance.

The distance of several tens of meters passed in the blink of an eye. In just a few breaths, Luo San had already rushed to the edge of the white space.

"Blood that corrodes bones, huh?"

Just as Luo San was about to use the Golden Rule to break the blockade of the white space, he suddenly noticed Yang Jian leaning against the golden light wall.

Where did these students come from?

Luo San's mind raced, and the blood flames in his hands continued to bombard the golden light barrier.

boom! ! !
The golden light barrier rippled violently, and a crack appeared in the middle.

Without stopping for a moment, Luo San squeezed into the gap.

Before going in, he reached out and grabbed Yang Jian, who was standing next to him.

"Oh no! A civilian has accidentally broken in!"

The uniformed man behind him was also startled when he saw Yang Jian, and his face showed a hint of anxiety.

Luo San followed suit and rushed out.

After leaving the white space, Luo San and Yang Jian found themselves in an even larger white space.

Two figures still stood in the space, both dressed in black uniforms.

Luo San's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong.

One uniformed man was troublesome enough, but now there are two more, and judging from their appearance, they are even more formidable than the chained man from before.

"Captain Liu!"

They rushed out and subdued the man, and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their own reinforcements.

He immediately remembered the student from earlier and shouted, "Captain Liu, a student who accidentally wandered in has been arrested by Luo San!"

Upon hearing the man in uniform shout, Luo San immediately reacted, grabbing Yang Jian and shielding him in front of him.

He then manipulated a wisp of blood flame, which wrapped around Yang Jian's neck.

With just a flick of his finger, he could burn Yang Jian's neck off.

"Let me go, or I'll kill this kid!"

Luo San stared intently at Captain Liu.

If the other party makes even the slightest move that makes him feel threatened, he will not hesitate to unleash his blood flames and kill the hostage.

Even if he's going to die, he'll take someone down with him!

"Ah!"

"Do you think you can threaten me like this?"

"Kill him if you want. He's just a civilian. The Countermeasures Bureau never compromises with the enemy!"

As Captain Liu spoke, he slowly walked towards Luo San, the golden runes on his face lighting up.

Numerous paper knives and swords appeared around his body.

Golden Rule: Paper Cutting!

Don't underestimate these paper knives and swords. With the blessing of the golden ratio, these paper knives and swords are even stronger than alloy steel.

"A commoner? The fact that he can see the golden power means this kid has the aptitude to cultivate the Golden Law. You're saying he's just an ordinary commoner?"

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

Luo San sneered, "The death of an ordinary civilian is not the same as the death of a golden seed."

"Stop! Take one more step and I'll kill him!"

Luo San tightened the blood flame around Yang Jian's neck.

Liu San finally stopped walking, but his face remained expressionless.

"So what if it's a golden seed?"

"From the moment you captured him and took him hostage, his chances of survival were less than ten percent. It's better to let you drain him of his lifeblood."

"I'd rather die now, so I can avenge him!"

As Captain Liu spoke, he walked towards Luo San again.

Upon seeing this, Luo San's face immediately turned fierce. With a ruthless heart, he was about to unleash the Blood Flame to burn Yang Jian's blood and bones.

Even a golden seed would be a great tonic for his bone-corroding blood flames.

But the next second!
Luo San suddenly looked surprised, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Between the fingers of the boy he was holding hostage, a wisp of blood-red flame kept changing shape.

"Is this the Golden Rule?"
