The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Chen Guan looked at her and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

"No way? How long do you intend to hide?"

As soon as a warning thought crossed his mind, Chen Guan instinctively rolled to the ground, a terrifying purple light grazing past his scalp.

Stop.

Su Yuehe's voice left no room for argument. The moment those two words were uttered, Chen Guan's control over his body was forcibly taken away, and his muscles stiffened completely.

Words of power.

One of the most domineering and unreasonable superpowers in the knowledge system.

Using language as a medium to directly distort reality and interfere with cause and effect, even though it wasn't the first time Chen Guan had encountered this trick, he still found it troublesome.

The brain was still giving the order to rush forward, but the body had become an unruly puppet, with the raised foot hanging in mid-air, motionless.

I feel like a puppet whose pause button has been pressed.

Answer me.

Su Yuehe took a step forward, her usually gentle eyes now frozen, beneath which surged a torrent of pain.

"What exactly is your identity here, and what do you want to do here?"

Each word is like a needle, pricking a nerve.

Chen Guan gritted his teeth, his mental energy surging wildly in his mind, fighting against the rules constructed by those words.

The sorcerer's powers flowed deep within her pupils, attempting to construct a false reality to negate the rules in her words.

Click.

With a soft sound, the restraints shattered, and the feet, which had been suspended in mid-air, landed heavily on the ground.

With just that one break free, cold sweat slid down his forehead.

Su Yuehe's Word of Power is now several levels stronger than it was during the Four Schools League, and she hasn't been idle at all during this time.

Chen Guan gasped for breath: "I don't want to fight you."

This is the truth.

Chen Guan would rather face ten eighth-level ability users than confront her here.

"I don't want to either."

Although Su Yuehe said that, she didn't take a single step back.

"But I must stand on this side."

"Chen Guan, I've always considered you... a pretty good friend."

I'm not afraid of swords drawn, I'm afraid of revealing the truth.

When the word "friend" entered Chen Guan's ears, his chest tightened instantly, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed, causing him to curl up in pain.

"Although An Changqing and I grew up together, I am very clear that we are fundamentally different."

A hint of sadness flashed through her eyes: "Since I met you, I thought you were a kindred spirit who could understand me, but now it seems I was wrong again."

"What you are doing now is destroying my mother, destroying what countless people risked their lives to protect."

Her voice grew louder: "Tell me, how am I supposed to pretend I don't see this?"

Chen Guan was speechless.

Yes, how could she possibly ignore it?

Even with a hidden side, she remains the original leading lady, and has an absolutely righteous family; her stance is beyond question.

"Hehehe, I'm almost moved to tears, kid."

Baal sneered in his mind: "Just kill her. Why all this nonsense? I can lend you enough power to do all this now."

"Shut up."

For the first time in his mind, Chen Guan used a commanding tone.

Baal paused for a moment, then let out a soft, ambiguous hum, and fell silent.

Chen Guan looked at Su Yuehe; now was not the time for self-pity.

This standoff must end quickly; there can be no more hesitation.

Chen Guan ducked down, instantly bypassing Su Yuehe, and rushed straight to the nearest row of servers. He hadn't forgotten why he came here.

"Don't move."

Su Yuehe's voice became shrill, and an even stronger binding force descended once more.

This time, Chen Guan was prepared. The moment her voice rang out, Chen Guan exerted force with his feet, forcibly turning his body with strange steps, and activating his illusionary abilities at full power.

A lifelike phantom remained in place, instantly frozen in place by the power of the Word of Power.

The real body was already three meters away, the scythe sliding into its hand.

Chen Guan swung his hand back, and the huge scythe tore through the air, slashing down fiercely at the row of server arrays that were taller than a person.

With every extra second, Baihu faced more trouble, and he himself sank deeper into the quagmire of emotions.

"stop!"

Su Yuehe's voice revealed an unprecedented panic.

But the scythe's blade had already touched the server's cold outer shell.

Just then, a single word that Chen Guan couldn't understand came from her lips.

Chen Guan couldn't understand, but his body did.

The scythe, about to touch the server shell, was pulled back by an irresistible force less than an inch from its target.

The surrounding scenery rushed past him, and when he regained his footing, he was back in the same position he had been a few seconds earlier, facing Su Yuehe. His desperate lunge seemed as if it had never happened.

Chen Guan's heart stopped for a moment.

What kind of ability is this?

"Kid, you've finally fallen for it."

Baal's gloating voice rang out, but it also carried a hint of solemnity: "That's ancient language. Each syllable corresponds to a rule at the bottom of the world. If you don't understand it, you can't defend against it."

"Only if you can understand it will you have a chance to play the game."

Barr couldn't help but sigh, "He really does have the air of an old friend."

Chen Guan remained silent, looking dazed. According to Baal, wouldn't he be unable to retaliate?

Exceeding the standard...

"I told you, stop." Su Yuehe's voice was still trembling, but her eyes were incredibly firm: "Chen Guan, I won't let you destroy this place."

Even though the incident happened suddenly and Chen Guan was unwilling to speak, Su Yuehe still made the choice that best suited her understanding.

This matter concerns the Demon Realm; there is no room for error.

She might even release the coffin out of selfishness, but she would never allow him to destroy this place.

Chen Guan remained silent, his fingers tightening around the sickle.

Apologies and explanations are utterly powerless in the face of absolute opposition.

He had no way out; there was only one thing left to do.

That is—swinging the knife!

"Certainly."

Su Yuehe reacted very quickly, uttering a simple word, this time just ordinary language.

The forward-rushing body felt as if it had crashed into a sticky swamp, and its speed suddenly dropped.

Chen Guan had anticipated this.

The moment his body was bound, the sorcerer's supernatural powers flowed through his eyes.

A phantom identical to him separated from his body and continued to rush forward, while his real body, taking advantage of that momentary pause, exerted force with its feet and twisted towards her side at an odd angle.

However, Su Yuehe only glanced at the phantom.

"Disperse."

The phantom shattered instantly, turning into specks of light.
