People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

Time travel abruptly ends, and several heroes, unaware of what's going on, are transported to the future, where they fly into a rage, feeling cheated...

Especially Camille; if you were to kidnap her without consulting her, given her personality, she would probably go on a rampage...

And then there are the hot-tempered Warwick, Jayce, and Vi, who will likely be difficult to deal with as well.

Most importantly, there are still many undiscovered heroes in the cities of Piltover and Zaun...

Mu Bai's head throbbed with frustration, and after a while, he simply lay down. Since he couldn't stop it, he might as well enjoy the boost from having his energy bar depleted.

The energy bar was being emptied faster and faster, losing 80% in just a few breaths.

Based on the previous flow rate, there are approximately ten days left.

But the loss of energy did not stop—nine days, eight days, six days, three days…

Mu Bai was numb, secretly preparing himself to travel back to the future. But just as he was pondering how to appease everyone after returning, his energy bar suddenly stopped moving.

It just stayed there quietly, with about two days left.

The next moment, Mu Bai's consciousness was suddenly plunged into a feeling similar to free fall.

As the terrifying feeling of falling subsided, chaotic sounds echoed in his ears: the sounds of gunfire, shouts, and sobs...

"You're back...?"

Mu Bai raised his head and looked around. The surrounding scenery was no different from before. The time that had passed in his consciousness was only a second or two in reality.

The killer was still rushing toward the Hextech Crystal Factory, and Caitlin and the others' eyes remained fixed on them.

"Fortunately, things aren't too bad." Mu Bai gripped the katana that had suddenly appeared in his hand tightly, feeling his whole body filled with power.

Is this the benefit of second-tier rune amplification...?

And this katana... Storm Cutter is much stronger than Doran's Blade.

call……

Hexflash!

Steel-Cutting Flash!

Mu Bai's figure suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, and then instantly reappeared next to the killer. The katana that appeared out of nowhere swung forward and cut off one of the killer's arms in an instant.

The arm fell, causing an uproar throughout the arena.

That anti-gravity field, which even bullets couldn't get close to, was broken just like that?

Those alloy armors that even missiles struggle to penetrate were just cut off like that?

"Holy crap, Teacher Mu!" Morgan, his face bruised and swollen, arrived at the scene with the help of the old butler, Rod, and witnessed the astonishing sight. He immediately shouted excitedly.

Although the others weren't as excited as him, they were still thoroughly shocked.

Even Camille, someone who had seen it all, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She had just clashed with the killer, cracking the blade on her right leg, yet Mu Bai had severed it so easily…

"Your weapon... no, your speed and strength are faster and stronger than before..."

The killer turned his head as he ran, and when he spoke, it was still Victor's voice:

"How many secrets do you still have... Sigh, what a pity, I can't waste my time with you now. I'll collect data from you another time if I have the chance."

"You sound like you're in a hurry? What a coincidence, me too." Mu Bai pushed off with his feet, and his running speed was even slightly faster than that of the Killer.

With a loud bang, the killer smashed open the factory gate, and Mu Bai successfully ran ahead of it.

Dozens of mechanics and laborers huddled in a corner, trembling, staring at the two men with terrified eyes.

“I advise you to leave,” Victor said through the killer’s words. “If you die, I will also feel distressed.”

"You think you can kill me?" Mu Bai gently shook the Lanqie, the sound of the sharp blade easily cutting through the air giving him satisfaction.

"No, I know perfectly well that the MK-21 Killer alone cannot kill you."

"So where does your advice, or rather your confidence, come from?"

“This.” The Slayer stretched out his only remaining arm and pointed to several indentations on his chest. “The Shurima Crystal and Hextech Crystal have an extremely high resonance, which can easily trigger a chain explosion.”

"I can cut you to pieces before you detonate the crystal."

“Yes, I understand. But that won’t work—as long as the Killer is alive, it can initiate the self-destruct program; if the Killer’s heart stops beating, the crystal inside its body will immediately self-destruct.”

"..." Mu Bai frowned.

"Alright, young man, you should leave now. This was a dead end from the start, no need to blame yourself." The Killer shook his head slightly under Victor's remote control, as if he felt sorry for Mu Bai.

After all that hard work, it was all for naught.

Mu Bai looked around at the crowd, among which were men, women, and even children, all with terrified faces.

Their eyes were filled with fear, but the innocent child craned his neck, looking curiously at his parents and then at the killers, a glimmer of hope hidden in his eyes.

"No, I want to try." Mu Bai sighed softly, the Stormbreaker gleaming in his hand.

Anyway, with the protection of the Hextech armor, I probably won't be killed by the explosion... As long as I have a breath left, I can recover my health by using Blood Hunger.

But these ordinary people are different; once they are hit by the explosion, they have no chance of survival.

Trying your best might lead to failure; not trying guarantees failure.

“Well, well… what a pity,” Viktor said. “Farewell, young man.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the killer's chest rapidly expanded, and a terrifying energy surged forth.

Mu Bai gripped the Stormbreaker tightly, preparing to summon the Wind Wall for one last attempt, even though he knew the chances of success were almost zero—the Wind Wall's protective range was too small.

Just then, he suddenly felt a strange warmth.

It felt like... a young girl was gently hugging me from behind.

Then, he smelled a faint fragrance, like the scent after a storm.

"Take a deep breath," a gentle, warm voice said.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Feeling the Breeze, Feeling Janna

"Feel the power of the breeze, Wind Rider..."

"You are so brave, so kind, so benevolent. Your qualities deserve praise and celebration, and the blessings of the wind."

"Did my appearance frighten you? Don't be afraid, Wind Rider. My friendliness towards you is like a gentle breeze lifting migratory birds."

"Now, please follow my instructions and let the breeze kiss your cheeks."

"Feel the breeze, feel me, feel... Janna."

A few strands of hair fell onto Mu Bai's shoulder, and the warm embrace became even stronger, the reassuring feeling suppressing all confusion and fear.

At this moment, he seemed to have a new understanding of the Wind Control Sword Technique—not of "control" or "sword," but of "wind."

In the past, when he used the Wind Control Sword Technique, he could always turn a gentle breeze into a gale or even a hurricane.

Now, he wants to stop the raging wind, to make it gentle, to turn it into a breeze.

“You have done well, Wind Rider.” Janna’s voice was soothing. “I will lend you my power, and your task is to protect the innocent.”

“Yes, Miss Gana,” Mu Bai replied in a low voice.

"Miss? What an interesting and lovely title. Go forth, Wind Rider, my blessings are with you."

"Ah."

Mu Bai took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented sense of ease and sweetness.

The next moment, he lightly swung the long sword in his hand—just a swung.

This time, the storm cleaver didn't slice through the air, but instead pushed forward slowly with the breeze, like a withered leaf falling to the ground or a fledgling bird spreading its wings. It carried no murderous intent, only a natural sense of life's natural death and birth.

The blade met the killer's hard alloy armor.

"Is this your last struggle?" Victor said in a pitiful tone. "I feel sorry for you... You shouldn't have died here. You should have accomplished more."

He couldn't see the goddess hidden in the breeze, nor could he understand Mu Bai's sword intent. He could only conclude through calculation that "this sword has no killing power."

He was wrong, but not entirely wrong.

Mu Bai's attack was indeed not lethal, but that doesn't mean it was powerless.

Countless gentle breezes gathered and compressed at this moment, forming a devastating gale.

Before the killer could even react, its body was swept upwards by the hurricane, breaking through the factory roof and rising hundreds of meters into the air.

“This is…” Victor was shocked and quickly canceled the Killer’s self-destruct program.

Unfortunately, it's no longer of any use.

A terrifying hurricane, carrying an unparalleled sword intent, raged wildly against the killer. Its prized alloy armor was as fragile as paper, crumbling at the slightest touch, instantly revealing the deformed chunks of flesh hidden beneath.

Even metal can't withstand the cutting power of wind blades, let alone fragile flesh and blood.

The killer's last muscle, along with the few primordial crystals, shattered and exploded high in the air, unleashing an extremely powerful shockwave.

Everyone inside and outside the factory looked up, their eyes fixed on the dazzling flame.

The shockwave spread out from the center of the hurricane, was then swallowed up by the hurricane, and finally disappeared without a trace, causing no harm whatsoever.

"This is something humans can do...?" Jess was stunned, suddenly doubting whether scientific research was even useful.

"As expected of... a man who travels through time." Ike's eye twitched, and he swallowed hard.

“Powerful, human, stronger than robots.” Blitz’s voice was still blank, but there was a clear different feeling about it.

"Warwick, look! Mr. Mu Bai succeeded!" Norma supported the injured Warwick, her face full of admiration.

"Hehe, I knew Xiaobai could do it! Xiaobai is number one in the world!" Jinx was so happy that she spun around on the spot.

"Little White? Who are you calling? Get your identity straight!" Caitlin glared fiercely at Jinx.

"Never mind, Caitlin..." Vi hurriedly tried to break up the fight.

"Heh, as expected of an agent from my Phiros family, not bad." A faint smile appeared on Camille's face.

The entire street echoed with shouts and cheers. Those who knew Mu Bai bragged about him endlessly, wishing they could immediately recognize him as their godfather. Even those who didn't know Mu Bai shouted loudly, both praising his achievements and rejoicing that they had survived.

Inside the Hextech Crystal Factory, Mu Bai leaned against the wall, panting heavily. That last strike had taken a heavy toll.
