Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!
Chapter 338 Why did I walk in front?
This time, he went all out.
The Mimicry Soul Skill had been activated, and he and his five companions had all blended into their surroundings. Even if someone were to examine them closely, they would be invisible.
Following the path next to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and using their mimicry soul skills to bypass the guards outside, they soon arrived at the courtyard where Chen An had met up with the others.
"This is it." Han Yu transmitted this to her companions through her thoughts. At the same time, she expanded the range of her mental detection, covering the entire courtyard.
Just as he had predicted, the man on duty here today was the middle-aged man surnamed Li who had met with Chen An that day. At this moment, he stood in the courtyard, outwardly calm, but his eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of anxiety as he waited for something.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li wasn't waiting for the money; Chen An had already paid him the remaining balance when he picked up the goods. What he was waiting for was news that the transaction had gone smoothly.
You have to understand, he was selling rare metals behind his superiors' backs. If he were discovered, he would be in serious trouble, losing everything and his life! He had no choice but to be cautious.
He held a small black metal box in his hand, occasionally glancing at the crystal screen on top of the box.
"I'll go," Qiu'er said softly.
Han Yu quickly waved her hand and said, "No rush, let's wait a bit. It's loose on the outside but tight on the inside. There are many traps. We must not alert him. He's waiting for news, so let's wait until he gets the news before we make our move. In case the person he's in contact with senses something is wrong and something unexpected happens."
Han Yu's composure also affected those around her. Qiu'er didn't say anything more.
At this moment, the rumbling sound like rolling thunder in the distant sky grew louder and louder, and various lights of dark green, black, and yellow continuously burst forth in the sky.
Although the battlefield was high in the sky, its grandeur could still be felt from such a distance.
A hint of interest flickered in Han Yu's eyes.
If he didn't have more important things to do here, he would really like to participate in the clash between the strongest people of this era!
However, it's still possible to go after finishing what you need to do here.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li naturally heard the distant rumbling sound as well, glancing in that direction from time to time, a hint of fear showing in his eyes.
As a Soul Master, he is naturally also a Soul Master himself.
Such a terrifying audio-visual feast is truly the first time I've ever encountered one.
And he didn't even know what had happened.
With something on my mind, I found myself looking at the screen in my hand even more often.
Just then, a figure soared into the air, followed closely by a second, a third... a total of eight figures, like arrows released from a bow, rising into the sky from another courtyard behind the courtyard where the middle-aged man surnamed Li was.
They were agile and fast, leaping into the air in the blink of an eye.
The leader was dressed in a black outfit, with a burly build and short hair that stood on end like steel needles, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.
His eyes were like lightning, bright and piercing, scanning the distance. His strong and powerful voice rang out: "Li Chong, you guard the gate. We're going to check out the palace."
His voice was like a booming bell, deafening and echoing throughout the courtyard.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li quickly looked up in the direction from which the sound came, and saw eight figures that had transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the direction from which the rumbling sound came in the distant sky.
The eight streaks of light were extremely fast, like shooting stars chasing the moon, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged man surnamed Li looked at the eight streaks of light disappearing into the horizon, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.
He knew that these eight people were all powerful Soul Masters, especially the one in the lead, who was a top expert in the Soul Master world.
"How enviable!" the middle-aged man surnamed Li murmured to himself.
As a Soul Master, he was naturally also a Soul Master, but his Soul Power cultivation was not high, and compared with those eight powerful figures, it was worlds apart.
"Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just maddening!" The middle-aged man surnamed Li sighed, shook his head, and turned his gaze back to the black metal box in his hand.
He knew that his current task was to protect the courtyard and wait for the eight powerful figures to return.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man surnamed Li took a deep breath, straightened his posture, and scanned his surroundings warily, not daring to relax for a moment.
Watching those figures disappear into the horizon, whether it was Lan Luoluo, Qiu'er, Long Aotian, Lan Susu, or Xiao Xiao, their eyes held a hint of admiration as they looked at Han Yu.
It was this brief wait that drastically reduced the danger they might have faced.
Han Yu smiled slightly, not admitting that it was her prediction. "Good luck. Qiu'er, go ahead. The key is on Li Chong's waist. Try to keep it as quiet as possible. The room to his left is empty; take him there."
"Mm." Qiu'er agreed, and as the range of her Cold Rain Mimicry Soul Skill increased, she lightly leaped into the courtyard.
When Li Chong heard that powerful voice, his heart tightened as if gripped by an invisible hand. He instinctively held his breath, his muscles tensing like a vigilant cheetah, ready to face any sudden danger.
If a person has something on their mind, they will be particularly sensitive to changes in the outside world. The slightest disturbance can trigger their sensitive nerves.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly, each second feeling incredibly long. He struggled to control his expression, trying not to let his inner unease show. Only when he heard the voice say that they were just going to check on the palace and hadn't discovered anything did he, as the steward, finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
His tense nerves finally relaxed, and his body felt as if it had lost its support, even feeling a little weak. He leaned back weakly in the chair and rubbed his stiff cheeks with his hand.
Just then, the screen on the communicator in his hand finally lit up, sending a symbol indicating a successful transaction. This symbol seemed to possess magic, instantly dispelling all the gloom in his heart. His anxious heart completely relaxed, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Unfortunately, he was unaware that all these changes in his body were under the mental surveillance of Han Yu. Guided by Han Yu's mental detection, Qiu'er seized this opportunity to strike. With a flash, Qiu'er darted out almost like lightning.
Because of his excessive speed, he had instantly escaped the range of Han Yu's mimicry soul skill. However, her speed was simply too fast. By the time Li Chong became wary, it was too late for him to react.
At the critical moment, the level 5 triggered soul-guiding shield on Li Chong's body automatically popped out, and a semi-transparent light blue shield instantly enveloped him.
The light shield emitted a faint glow, with intricate patterns flowing across it, like an indestructible shield attempting to withstand Qiu'er's determined attack.
However, who is Qiu'er? She is none other than the Golden Dragon Girl, hailed as the strongest Dragon Soul Master in this year's All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition! Offensive attacks are precisely her forte in combat!
Suddenly, the golden dragon spear in Qiu'er's hand shone brightly, and the tip of the spear gathered an indestructible and terrifying power, as if it were about to tear space apart, and it pierced fiercely into the seemingly solid soul guide shield.
"puff!"
With a soft sound, like a hot knife cutting through butter, the level 5 trigger-type soul guide shield was instantly pierced by the Golden Dragon Spear, which was as thin as paper!
The Golden Dragon Spear continued its momentum, its tip shimmering with golden light, resembling a lifelike golden dragon, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down the spine, as it pierced straight toward Li Chong's throat.
Before Li Chong could even react, he felt a chill in his throat, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body.
"Snap!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out, and Li Chong's eyes widened in shock. The light in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by endless fear and resentment.
He never expected that he would be killed so easily by the other party!
With a flick of her wrist, Qiu'er raised the Golden Dragon Spear, sending Li Chong's corpse flying. Without even glancing at it, she let the body fall limply to the side.
Her movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation, as if she had only done a trivial matter.
At the same time, the tip of the gun flicked again, pulling out the bunch of keys from Li Chong's waist.
The raid was completed in just a few seconds. When Qiu'er emerged from the room again and gently closed the door, Lan Luoluo, Long Aotian, Lan Susu, and Xiao Xiao had already entered the courtyard.
Han Yu's expression was solemn. She looked around and finally focused her gaze on Long Aotian and Lan Susu. She gave them a thumbs up and said firmly, "Brother Aotian, you and Susu stay here to keep watch for us. The view from here is wide and it's easy to observe the surrounding movements."
Long Aotian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Han Yu continued, "If a powerful enemy arrives, do not linger in battle. Immediately send a signal, then quickly break through and return to the hotel. Don't worry about us."
Lan Susu frowned slightly, her face showing worry, and asked softly, "But..." Han Yu interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "This is an order, obey orders!" Lan Susu bit her lip, but finally nodded gently to show that she understood.
Han Yu turned to Xiao Xiao, Luo Luo, and Qiu'er, and said in a deep voice, "Gun Gun will meet you on the other side of the alley. We need to finish this quickly and decisively; we absolutely cannot linger. Understand?" The three girls replied in unison, "Understood!"
At this moment, there could only be one voice in the team, and both Lan Susu and Long Aotian nodded slightly.
Based on their memories from the last reconnaissance, Han Yu led the group into a room in the center of the courtyard. The room was empty as well. Long Aotian and Lan Susu each found a window and hid nearby, keeping an eye on the outside.
Han Yu then led Qiu'er, Luo Luo, and Xiao Xiao to the inner room in front of a large cabinet.
"Open the cabinet door," Han Yu said.
Lan Luoluo and Qiu'er almost simultaneously stepped forward. The two women exchanged a glance, and Qiu'er finally stopped, letting Lan Luoluo open the cabinet door.
Han Yu couldn't help but pat her forehead. It seemed she needed to be more precise next time. "Put the purple key into the keyhole on the upper left hinge of the cabinet!" Han Yu was much more accurate this time.
Qiu'er found the only purple key in the bunch and then found the very hidden keyhole in the hinge, and inserted the key.
Suddenly, accompanied by a slight rattling sound, the back panel of the cabinet slowly opened horizontally, revealing a door with a faint light shining from inside.
Qiu'er was about to go inside when Han Yu stopped her.
"Listen," Han Yu's voice lowered, revealing an unusual seriousness, "From now on, once we go in, we'll be facing all sorts of traps and ambushes." He paused, his gaze sweeping over the three girls in front of him, taking in their expressions. "This place is extremely important to the Sun Moon Empire."
Lan Luoluo couldn't help but ask curiously, "How important is it?"
Han Yu didn't answer directly, but said in a serious tone, "There are countless soul-guided devices and mechanisms here. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed."
He took a deep breath and continued, "Later, Luo Luo will go first, Xiao Xiao will go in the middle, and Qiu'er, you will bring up the rear. Everything must be done exactly as I say, and there must be no mistakes."
"Why do I have to walk in front?" Lan Luoluo grumbled somewhat discontentedly. "It's too dangerous up there!"
"You're the fastest and have the quickest reactions, so walking in front will allow you to respond to any unexpected situations in time," Han Yu explained patiently. "Besides, I'll provide you with mental guidance, so don't worry."
Although Lan Luoluo was still somewhat reluctant, she had no choice but to nod and agree after hearing Han Yu's words: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Han Yu turned to Xiao Xiao and instructed her, "Xiao Xiao, you walk in the middle and are responsible for supporting me and Luo Luo at any time."
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and nodded in response, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Finally, Han Yu's gaze fell on Qiu'er, and she said solemnly, "Qiu'er, you will cover the rear and be responsible for guarding the rear to prevent enemy attacks."
Qiu'er nodded seriously: "Understood."
"Remember," Han Yu said, looking around at the three of them, enunciating each word clearly, "In this place, even the smallest mistake can lead to irreparable consequences. So, I don't care what other thoughts you have in mind, put them away now, and prioritize safety!"
Lan Luoluo puffed out her chest and said loudly, "No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Lan Luoluo and Qiu'er with a half-smile and nodded slightly.
Fortunately, Han Yu was only in spirit form at this moment, so she didn't blush even under Xiao Xiao's strange gaze.
Qiu'er took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you."
"Alright!" Han Yu didn't waste any more time and immediately gave the order, "Let's go! Luo Luo, lead the way."
Lan Luoluo leaped lightly into the air and nimbly slipped into the passageway inside the cabinet without making a sound. Xiao Xiao and Qiu'er followed closely behind. (End of Chapter)
